In addition to the members of the team, there were present some of the League officials, and a few citizens of Bow- manville, who assembled to join in congratulating the team on its high- ly "successful season.

Accompanying him in the car were Earl Miller and "Buz" Boll, Regina boys, who are the property of the To- ronto club, but will likely be farmed out to Syracuse this win- ter. James Irvin father of the Maple Leaf coach, also accom- panied the party as far as Ham- ilton, where he stopped off to visit his two sisters residing in that city, It is Mr. Irvin's first visit to the Ambitious City since he left there with his family over thirty years ago to locate in Winnipeg. The party left Regina on Mon- day morning last and report thev had an 'excellent trip, although the weather was fairly cold. They spent some time in London yes- terday, and also a few hours In Hamilton, Coach Irvin is delighted with the arrangements made to have the Toronto and Syracuse teams train together at Kingston, where ice will be available next week, The Toronto mentor is | keen to see the players in action He reports he spent a busy summer in Regina, and also states that Boll and Miller have been keeping themselves in fine condition. Both have been en- gaged in farm work, while Boll has been doing considerable hunting the past few weeks, Ac- cording to Dick, ducks and prairie chickens are plentiful in Southern Saskatchewan and hunters are always certain ot a good bag for their efforts. Dick was an interested specta- | tor at the baseball games played by the Toronto Leafs and Mont- real Royals in Regina. The two teams arrived just a day too late to get ideal weather for baseball. The day they played in Regina the weather was freezing cold and undoubtedly many hundreds of fans stayed away on that ac- count. The Leafs won hoth games from the Royals and piayed snappy ball, despite the fact that most of the players had to wear windbreakers to keep warm and throw hlankets over themselves when on the hench. World Record is Equalled Lexington, Ky., Oct. 15.--Rac- ing against time here yesterday afternoon, The Marchioness, three-year-old filly, owned by the Keeler Estate of Auburn, N.Y. trotted the mile in 1.593%, to equal the world record for three- year-old trotters and lowered her own world record of 2.00 for three-year-old fillies. The Marchioness, driven hy W, F. Caton of Syracuse, N.Y., this ™ year won the rich Hambletonlian Stake and several other races. Shoe Tossers Not Affected by Depression Toronto, Oct. 15.--Horseshoe- pitching is one of the minor Canadian "industries" that is not worried by economic condi- tions, and doesn't kpow the meaning of that term "depres- sion". It is going stronger, do ing a brisker business even than in the boom year of 1929, The merry clank of the shoes in triendly contests for local hon- ors is more familiar in rural Ontario and Quebec than ar any time within the past five years. The record is worth while pro- claiming aloud to a world. The championships for all Canada will again be one of the attractions at the Roya! Winter Far in Toronto on Nov. 22, 23 and 24. In the open singles championship the awards are a challenge trophy offered by the Dominion Calk Horseshoe Com- pany, Limited, and $25 in cath; second prize, $12; and third prize, $8; with consolation prizes in addition.

Landis, High Commis sioner, of baseball, yesterday de- nied Rogers Hornsby a share in the Chicago Cubs' world series cash. The judge wrote Hornsby a letter at his home, near St. Louis, Mo., in which he cited the base- ball code which provides that only those players eligible to compete in the series and en- titled to share in its profits, Hornshy managed the Cubs for two-thirds of last season. After he was replaced on August 4 by Charlie Grimm, the Cubs players voted against giving him a share of the proceeds. Hornsby protested formally to Landis, who explained he did not reply until today because he had been fll. FRESHMEN REBEL AT HAVING SLEEP BROKEN AT DAWN Harvard Students Think It Unfair for Roosters to Crow in Dormitory Cambridge, Mass. . Indignant freshmen in the south section of Harvard's yard are planning a protest to the college authorities. The difficulty revolves around the question as to whether or not roosters are entitled to crow in the yard at four a.m. when all good Harvard boys should be asleep, Soundly sleeping freshmen wera aroused before dawn the other morning by a vigorous racket that seemed quite out of place in a college dormitory, The noises, it developed, came from roosters forming part of a small menagerie kept in Bolyston, who is studying the reactions of roos- tegg after eating. énidents of adjoining dormi- tories say.it Dr. Elliott wauts to make some startling discoveries he should be on hand to study the reactions of the freshmen when they're awakened at four a.m. Inasmuch as the roosters. don't have to burn midnight oil pour- ing over lessons assigned by Har- vard professors, freshmen con- sider the situation very unjust and threaten to get an injunction if necessary, to prevent further crowing before nine a.m. Harvard authorities were con- fident the matter would be smoothed out to the satisfaction of both roosters and students. The difficulty came just when the students were finally assured that a cow would not be kept in the Harvard yard.

FISHERMEN WAX CAUSTIC AT NEW ANGLING DEGREE Veterans Say a Bachelor of Fishing Should Go on Swordfishing Trip Boston, Mass. -- "Pre'ty soon they'll be sprinkling the old sh kettle with cologne water to make it smell sweet." Such is the reac tion of Boston's deep sea fishermen to the announcement that the Brad- enton-Dixon Grande Institute of fishing is offering a bachelor's de- gree in the angling art, "I've been a bachelor all my life," declared John McPhetres, 3) vears a fisherman, and just 'n irom swordfishing trip. "The Fisnermen's college'," he read, 'issues a diploma conferring a degree of bachelor of fishing. The certificate reads: This certifies that the holder has shown himself to be a brave man when tackling a big fish, He has had his thumbs burned on his reel, his rod broken and his bait torn from the line without showing any sign of fear" Forthwith John laid aside 3 lily iron to elect himself spol esman for the Banks fraternity, A lily iron is the business end of an implement sed in the impaling of a rather big sen denizen, known as the sword- fish, which is notoriously bad-tem- seredd and non-cooperative when subjected to such treatment.

AGED FOOTPRINT IN THE CAPITAL OF A DINOSAUR Trace of Early Days Is Us- ed as a Bird Bath Beside National Museum a Ottawa. -- The discovery by Robinson Crusoe of footprints on the beach of hig island home fill- ed him with consternation, and doubtless many a wary bachelor enjoying a solitary stroll along the sea-shore has veered off amongst the sand dunes at the sight of the imprint of a high heeled shoe in his path. There are the carefully protected foot- prints at the scene of a crime, and the regularly spaced stones that Indians accredit to their leg- endary heroes. Muskwa, the bear, has left his footprints to name na lake in Western Ontario, and there are also the footprints that hunters follow go oarefully throurh the woods at this time of year, but there is in Ottawa an ancient footprint that all visitors to 'the city may see in replica on the grounds of the Victoria Mem- orial museum, Loong before the Rocky Moun- taing rose above the plains a di- nosaur ambled along the shores of a shallow western lake. Deep into the mire sank his foot and after he had gone by the depres- sion remained, Centuries passed with their changes, but there stayed the footprint until it was removed and made the long Jour- ney from Peace River to the Cap- ital city. Apart from being a curi- osity it would seem difficult to find a use for a dinosaur foot- print, but thiz one, two feet six inches long and five or six inches deep has been utilized by some geniug at the museum. Cast in cement this replica now stands in the museum grounds, not as a curio alone but as a bird bath in which the birds of the Capital may enjoy a morning dip.

Joe Simpson New Yo Teams Are Expected In Oshawa Today to Start Pre-Season Practice at the Arena -- Simpson Who Will Coach Club, is One of the Original Players--Many Changes are Forecast New York, Oct, 15.--Harold Joseph Simpson, the 'Bullet Joe" of Selkirk, Man., hockey fame, has been appointed coach of the New York Americans of the Na- tional Hockey League, The still agile veteran iceman succeeds Eddie Gerard, now guiding the destinies of the Montreal Maroons. In announcing Simpson's elevation, William V. Dwyer, owner of the Amerke, stated Eddie Powers. the Toron- to hockey and lacrosse mentor, would succeed Simpson ag coach of the New Haven Fagles of the Canadian-American League, The latter club is the Amerks' farm. Last season Powers managed the Boston Cubs, league rivals of the Eagles. An Original Amerk "Bullet" Joe is one of the Amerk originals, having broken in with the star-spanzled team when the ice game was first in- troduced, here by the old Ham- fiton Tigers. Since 1925 Simpson has played fine hockey for the Dwyer men. hein outstanding on the defense and possessing enough of his Will Lead rk Americans old-time speed to fill in capably on the front line when dash and experience was needed. Last year Dwyer gave Joe a chance to prove his managing and coaching ability by putting him in command of the Eagles. '"He has proved his mettle," said | Dwyer today, 'and 1 think he deserved this opportunity to break in as a big league manager. I am confident he will succeed." Simpson, who was sold to the Amerks for $10,000, believed a record sum back in '25, bad little to say following his appointment, but indicated there would be a shake-up in the team's line-up. Will Make Changes He admitted he had a number of changes in mind, but wished to reserve his decision until he had seen the players in action during practice, which ecom- mences next week, at Oshawa, Ont, He promised Gotham fans would see a vastly different team from that which represented the club last season. Simpson began his hockey car- eer with the Selkirk Prep School, later playing with University of Manitoba, Selkirk Seniors and Winnipeg Victorias, He wag a star member of the 61th Batta- lion sextette when it won the Allan Cup, emblem of Canada's senior amateur hockey cham- pionship. He served overseas with the 61st, won the rank of lieutenant and was also decorated with the military medal. Simpson turned professional with the Edmonton Eskimos of the now defunct Western Canada Teague, Peterborough Team Hope to Defeat Local Seconds (Peterboro Examiner) P.C.I, Senior A football team opens its home season in Petcr- borough this afternoon, playing Oshawa Senfor B team at 2.30 in Stevenson Park. The exhibition game with Pickering College here last Wednesday stamps P.C.I. as one of the contenders for provin- cial honors this year. They have not lost a game this year, and Wrdnesday proved that the Gar- net and Grey this year is one of the stronrest defensive teams ever developed héro, On twelve occasions, Pickering were within five yards of P.C.I.'s goal but could not score. On the attack, the local Colle- glans have been consistent ground gainers on plunges and end runs. Their forward passing is improving and with dry wea- ther, this method of attack sup- nlies the sensational thrills of football. Joplinz, Westbye and Richardson can hur] the pigskin with accuracy as well as getting distance, and Kelly, Dearborn, Marsh and Armstrong are adepts at receiving. Their passes worked fine against Port Hope and were responsible for large gains, In a close game, the team ean depend on Toby Westhye to out- kick all opposition. His kicking featured against Pickering, driv- inz them back time and arain when they threatened, Hig thir- ty-yard placement was a revela- tion to fans and was one of the neatest seen here in years, In the backfield, Armstron=z, Richard- son, Westbbye and Jopling com- bine speed with weight. The first two have improved and now they keep the opposition guessing with their criss-cross work on kicks. Jopling has developed into one of the best ball carriers in the group and with his speed and deadly tackle, makes it tough for opposing backfield men. He is only sixteen and gives promise of being one of P.C.I's best. Few plays have made headway around Kelly and Dearborn, the outside wings. Both are good defensively and get their man with regular- ity. On the line, Marsh, Sloan, Sedgwick, Parnall and Kirkwood have been able to hold every ene- my thrust and with their weight break up many plays. The team as a whole is going fine and will give all they have against the strong Oshawa Senlor B squad. Football is a changeable game, and nothing can be certain, though the locals hope to win. Their supporters will be out in force to see the strong first- string squad, and potential One. 1ario champions swing into ac- tion, Times' Classified Ads. Get Results, Starts-- MONDAY Added Treats!
