IS A VALUE!! t Canadian city to boast a professional hockey team. For long before the old National Hockey Association was organized, preceding the present National League, the S800 was a member of the Profes- sional International League, formed in 1904. The two Soo0s, Portage Lake and Calumet in Michigan, along with Pittsburg, constituted the first line-up of this League, later joined by the Houghton, Michigan, club, Those were the days of real sport in hockey. The Canadian Soo club was formed by four sportsmen of the , of whom John P. Mooney and George 8. Cowie are still living. These : sportsmen put up $250 each, ran the club for two years. Players' salaries were then from $20 to $35 per week, with du that t sticks and skates were And that are legendary in Canada's hockey annals today -the rosters of those clubs -- names such as "Cyclone" Newsy Lalonde, Jack Lavioletts, Didier Pitre, Hod Stuart, immortal who was manager and player for Pittsburg, Gardner, Con Corbeau, and a dozen more; The Canadian S800 team on one occasion was through the salary limit of $35, The club had many injuries, and as a daring replacement, it was deci secure Newsy Lalonde, Newsy came high. He asked per week for four weeks and, sportingly, the club agreed The train bearing the great Lalonde arrived at 8 o'clock night of the big game, three hours late. Lalonde stepped dressed to play and even wearing his skates. He played incognito, scored three goals, and not until the next day did the identity of this wizard of the ice become known. Sault Ste, Marte was just a small town in those days. WM had not yet amal ted with Steel and the combined popu- lation did not exceed 9,000. But interest in hockey ran high, as it still does in this sporting centre, which regularly sends players to the National League. In later days it developed the great Sault Greyhounds that have won their share of amateur cham- pionships. The spirit that ed a professi team, whese roster included many of the greats of hockey in a league of ambitions far beyond normal expectations, still carries on around the Sault, producing great hockey, fine players and enthusiastic crowds, These crowds are more orderly, mo doubt, than those who staged the famous post-game mob battles of the turn of the century, but just as keen. i 111] il 1H ssa 25s &F Your ts and suggestions for this column will be wek d by Elmer Ferguson, c/o Calvert House, 431 Yonge $t., Toronto.
