The Week‘s News of The Surrounding Distr ict BEAMSVILLE THE INDEPENDENT, GRIMSBY, ONTARIO The Grassie Community Club met Tuesday evening. In spite of the rainy night a good crowd attended. The prizes for euchre were won by Mrs. Peter Marlowe, Mrs. Priddle, Ross Beamer and F. Black. The president, Donavon Hysert, announced that special prizes will be given to the lady and gent receiving the highest number of points in three nights, starting Tuesday evening of this week. Her many friends will be sorry to learn that Mrs. Seeley Sr., suffered a slight stroke a few days ago. She is being cared for at the home of her son Mr. Arthur Seeley. Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Hysert, Fruitland, visited at Howard Hyserts on Sunday. 4 Mrs. J. C. Johnson, wishes to take this opportunity to thank all who supported her in the recent Indepenâ€" dent Goodâ€"Will Contest. Mrs. Johnson won the beautiful set of dishes. , GRASSIE W. 1. ‘ The regular meeting of the Grassie W. I. was held at Mrs. H. Beamer‘s home on Thursday, January 10th: The presiâ€" dent, Mrs. Beamer took the chair and opened the meeting by singing the opening ode and repeating the Lord‘s Prayer. The minutes were read by the secretary and adopted. The following list of a few business items was disâ€" cussed. Mrs. F. Black will be hostess at a social at her home on Thursday evening, January 24th. The rollâ€"call was well responded to by a household hint, followed by community singing. â€" Back in the hectical days of Peach Kings, Niagara Falls and Port Colâ€" borne, no referee was ever struck by a player on Grimsby ice, although I have witnessed such a scene in Port Colborne on more than one occasion. Sure, Niagara Falls, led by the batâ€" tling Gene Fraser, and the Peach Kings took 48 minutes to play the secâ€" ond period of a game in 1924, but that was an argumentive fight pure and simple.. The fans in their hilarity did kick a few boards off the side of the rink and cut up capers, but not a blow was struck at any time between players or fans. It was simply an argument over a goal and weak kneed Cummings that was handling the bell kept adding fuel to the fire by reversing his decision several times. but at no time did any player even take his gloves off let alone take a poke at the ref. Gene Fraser has alâ€" ways been known as the hardest fightâ€" ing hockey player in Ont., but never in his long career did Gene ever even as much as threaten to hit a referee. Somethin‘ has gotta be done about it. What! This smacking down of referees and other officials by hotâ€" headed nitwits every time a ref. makes a decision, no matter which way he makes it. There has been too much of this fist slinging stuff by hair brained players going on the past‘ couple of seasons and when three asâ€" saults of this kind happen in one week it is time that the powers tha,t; beâ€"step in and let the bozos know who really is running the game. 1 The "uncalled for, dastardly attack on referee Roy Farrell at the local arena last week by McMahon of St. Catharines, was the first of its kind to ever happen at the local ice house since its erection 14 years ago. True there have been plenty ofâ€"fights among players and among spectators, but this was the first occasion that a referee was ever deliberately attackâ€" ed and called upon to use his dukes to defend himself. A duet by Mr;; J. C..Johnson and Mrs. F. Black was much enjoyed after which a reading was given by Miss L. Downes, entitled "Farm Homes‘". Mrs. Walter Wilcox was in charge of a very interesting contest and the That this kind of tactic on the part of players is scowled upon by press and public is shown, by the following from Lou Marsh‘s Pick and Shovel column.

Black gave an interesting talk on ‘"Home Furnishings‘‘ followea by a comic reading by Miss Gladys Secor entitled "Quintrains of Callanâ€" SPORTIGRAPHICALLY SPEAKING GRASSIE By Bones JOINT INAUGURAL OF | TwO COUNCILS | (Continued froin page 1) | direct their legislation during the com-‘ ing year was a praiseworthy and laudâ€" able custom and indicated recognition of the fact that their authority over the people is from God. The term "Town fathers" as they were often called denoted that they were fathers of the people of Grimsby and North Grimsby and in that capacity they would try to guide and direct them. He also read several passages of scripâ€" ture bearing on the duties of governâ€" ing bodies and closed his remarks which were most appropriate by recitâ€" ing the Lord‘s Prayer. Mayor McPherson on behalf of the town council thanked Father Canning5 for his timely words while Reeve Lawâ€" son of North Grimsby, in thanking Father Canning on behalf of the townâ€" ship, stressed the value of coâ€"operation in the carrying on of the deliberaâ€" tions of both the town and township councils and also between the two municipalities which were closely conâ€" nected and which had many interests in common. Where there was a lack of coâ€"operation very little legislation resulted, said Reeve Lawson. Reeve Mogg of Grimsby also referrâ€" ed to the desirability of coâ€"operation. He said that differences at election time, should be forgotten in order that the members might work together as a united body. The councils then proceeded with the transaction of the business before them. CAR DESTROYED BY A 1932 Studebaker sedan belonging to a Mr. Marfei of Toronto, was comâ€" pletely destroyed when it broke out in flames on the highway near the Lincoln Service Station west of the town on Wednesday around noon. Alâ€" though the local fire department reâ€" sponded to a call sent in, the flames spread so rapidly that it was impossâ€" ible to save the car. prizes were.wor by Mrs: Milan Krick and Mrs. J. C. Johnson. °* f pended sentence on condition he did not play hockey for two years. If he keeps his temper under control and keeps out of trouble the magistrate might permit him to reâ€"enter hockey next season. "Assaults by players and spectators upon hockey referees and goal umâ€" pires are much too frequent. The other night over at Port Colborne a burly spectator, backed by his gang, pucked Referee Johnny Mitchell of Hamilton, a featherweight, on the chin. Last night at Grimsby a player led an assault on Referee Roy Farrell and started a freeâ€"forâ€"all in which two hockey players were so injured they needed medical attention. Why didn‘t the police act at Port Colborne â€"lay a charge of assault against the cowardly lout who socked Mitchell? The Grimsby case is squarely up to the officials of the St. Catharines Inâ€" dustrial league. If the charge is true and they have any backbone they will expel the player who attacked Farrell and if Grimsby has any regard for law and order the municipal authorities will insist on the player‘s prosecution in police court." Lunch was served by the hostess and lunch conveners and the meeting closed with, singing The National Anthem. "A hockey player has no more right to deliberately strikeâ€"another player with his stick than a street rowdy has to whack a citizen on the head with a fence picket in a street altercation. It all comes under the head of felonâ€" ous assault and the punishment should be the same whether the asâ€" sault is committed: on the ice of a hockey rink or out on the public streets. "The player <who assaulted. referee Roy Farrell at Grimsby last night and started the Donnybrook there should be suspended by the St. Catharines Industrial League and a charge laid against him in court." Andy Lytle, in his column in the Star, says: Wake up players and play the game before the law steps in and puts a real crimp in your style. Peach Kings are in the money. There ain‘t no way in the world to keep the Reid boys out of the playâ€"off dough. Not even a mathematician could keep them out. Kirkland Lake Millionaires, "Hawkâ€" eye" Swayze‘s team, have played six games in their league, winning five and tieing one. The baby son of FIRE ON HIGHWAY Friday‘s game against the Falls sure was hot â€" but why dwell on that? We all know it. It‘s been the talk of the town ever since. Peach Kings certainly deserved the win. And "Dyke" Lawson was once more the hero of the game. His goal in the overtime was as pretty a solo play as one would want to see and was a deâ€" cisive finish to his scoring for the night. It looks as if Pettigrew, Lawson and Duffield will form the permanent first line with Moore, Reid and Hill on the second. It‘s a good move, say The O.H.A. bulletin published on Tuesday announced that â€" "Hilt" Swayze had been granted a transfer from Oakville to Kirkland Lake. How about it Hewitt? Swayze worked in Grimsby all summer and left here for the northern town on November 3rd. If Kirkland Lake was granted an interbranch transfer for Swayze who was in Grimsby until November 3rd, why then is it that Grimsby can‘t get one for Dixon who bought a farm here and left Perth early last May? Againâ€"how about it, Hewitt? It begins to look as if that Toronto bunch doesn‘t want to see a championâ€" ship Grimsby outfit. It‘s really too bad the local council couldn‘t change the town‘s name from Grimsby to Toronto for the hockey season!

Ray is the Burlington laddie who plays defense. The Burlington Ray can play for Oakville, the Toronto Heximer can play for Port Colborne, yet the St. Catharines Coupland was refused perâ€" mission to play for a Grimsby team. Dear me, it‘s too deep. That 17â€"2 shellacking the Buds got at the Falls last week was bad, but not as bad as one other defeat a Grimsby team got, I am told. The story goes that an allâ€"star Fruitbelt team went up to London. The local team had cleaned up on everything in sight. â€"A special train took the sidâ€" ing down at the station. Two banners were hung on its entire length, one on each side, loudly proclaiming Grimsby. A packed train made the trip. A joyâ€" ous time was had by all â€" on the way up. yo Just wait until next year, Buds. By that time 60% of the players in the district loop will have made the jump into intermediate and senior ranks. Then along you‘ll come with a wellâ€" organized team and a year‘s experâ€" ience, waiting for the best junior talâ€" ent in the circuit. Peach Kings to lose to Port Colâ€" borne Friday night is my hockey preâ€" diction for this weekend. ~, ‘"The diminutive Lou Pettigrew was one of the few stars in the Peach Kings‘ lineâ€"up last Friday night, playâ€" ing his usual bangâ€"up game along the left boards. Although seeing little service in the Grimsby lineâ€"up this year, Pettigrew, a product of Smithâ€" ville, was the bright spot in the Dunnville Junior lineâ€"up last winter, when he ran off with individual honâ€" ors both in ability and in a scoring sense."

Their action is ag ndâ€" able one and a few more such decisâ€" ions on the part of the officers will soon clean up what was rapidly beâ€" coming a dangerous menace to the game. Bill VanKuren, in "Sport Tabloid" in Dunnville Gazette, says:â€" After all there‘s no sense in burning the team up. â€" The game doesn‘t mean a thing. Peach Kings are definitely in the second half of the schedule. Why take any chances? An injury to any one player at: this stage of the game would be disastrous. The team lost by 29â€"0.
