So, we’ll clean out the vacuum clean- er and give you the dirt on that Lon- don series as taken from the files of The Independent of February lst and 8th, 1911. To begin with Peach Kings, and by the way this was the first time the name "Peach Kings", was ever used, drew a bye in the O.H. A. and spent the first half of the win- ter getting in shape playing exhibition games. They were drawn in the first round against London who were con- ceded a mighty fine chance to win the championship, which they even- tually did. The first Grimsby on Slst, in the He was correct about the special train load of rooters, the brass band, etc. but such a score as 29-0 was never in history hung up against a Grimsby team. Some person has been taking ad- vantage of my colleague in the sports department, Ian B. Murdoch, by slipp- ing him a shot of bum' dope anent some of the hockey gamer of yester- year. In his column “Sportorially Yours" appearing in our last issue he referred to the 17-2 trimming the Peach Buds received at the hands of the Falls juniors and then went on to tell a tale of woe about the time a Grimsby team was shellacked in Lon- don 29-0. - Shades of Pat O’Ferrell and his frock coat and silk hat, The Hamilton Spectator still keeps calling Marsh and Farrell Hamiltonians. Well if they are then I'm an Etheopian by birth and a Chink by adoption. Red Farrell is the fourth generation of the family to live in Grimsby and the third gen- eration to be born and raised here. Marsh has been here since he was knee high to a grasshopper and for a. lot of years as a.junior he was not much bigger than that either. The poor old Spec. sure does its darndest to corral a hockey player of merit that it ‘really can call a Hamiltonian. $90011“? SO garbled that a Philadelphia lawyer assisted by a Chinese puzzle expert couldn't unravel them, yet there are plenty of people right in Grimsby, that by their ravings and rantings over the two local boys, know more what has taken place than the boys do themselves. The whole thing has got beyond me so don't be asking any foolish questions. just what did happen or is going to happen. The news despatches have become so garbled that. a. Philndnlnhia About 150 players all told are at- fected from Halifax to Vancouver, but the biggest earthquake of it all has taken place in the Maritime provinces. There have been so many reports and denials and twisted up. statements re- garding what was taking place and What a hullabaloo the commuting hockey players of the Dominion have created the past six weeks, and right in the middle of all the fuss and tire- crackers are our own two little laddy- bucks "Red" Farrell and "HAwse" Mtrsts. Just what all the fuse and Ieathers is about is beyond me, or anybdoy else, for that matter, except the players concerned and the officials of the various leagues and the Cana- dian Amateur Hockey Association.

It seems that they went down to the coast to choke sum herrins or sumthin, they forgot to take there fishpoles along and couldn’t catch no fish as a result and if you eanttish down there they ain't much use of stickin around. They didn't even take no bait with them which was a grave error on-there part, judgin by what reports from the east leads us to be- lieve or expect. A other thing was the colour scheme did not seem ac- ceptable to the eye what with the marrytimers blue noses and mister Farre11's red hair forming hues what no artists could blend. But they've EZRA HAS HIS SAY Anent the flitting to and fro of the hockey boys, Ezra Reckless, in his funnybone column in the Spectator has the following to dish out: The Peach Kings team that year was composed of Flett, Goal; Fred. VanDyke, point; "Foxy" Tufford, cover point; "Boozel" Gibson, rover; "Dad" Farrell, centre; 'Wally Muir- head, left;wing; Eddie Hand, right wing; Jack Gilmartin, trainer; Sterl- ing Cook, manager. So that's mat folks. That is the true story of that "supposed 29-0" de- feat. The game in London on Friday night, February 4th, was tabasco sauce for the full 60 minutes. In the first period the two teams for 26 minutes struggled to a 1-1 score. With four minutes to go the late Bill Flett, one of the best goalies that ever stood between the posts in the Fruit Belt, stopped a hard shot with his head and went out of action for the rest of the game. Under the rules no other goal tender could be put -4 his place. Lon.. don rapidly scored three goals and the first half ended 4-1 in their favor. Flett was definitely out of the game by orders of the doctors and as a re- sult "Foxy", Tufford, one of the King's fleetest men had to don the pads and in the second half it was just too bad. The game ended 20-4 for London and they took the round by 26-11. The game was" played under old time rules which called for seven men a. side, no substitutes and divided in- to two halves of 30 anihutes each. It was a hot, hectical struggle with the last M minutes Being played on soft ice, caused by the heat from the huge crowd present Grimsby ended the first half leading by 7-4, and London scored two in the second half while' Ilrimsbjiled-tiy tally, thusrfhimsbr won the game by 7-6 and the Kings went into London with a one goal lead.

I i aint herd what mister Fry has to say i on the matter, but mister Rye, him as bosses hockey down at the seeboard, says they ain't a chanct for Mister Marsh or Mister Farrell to play in any company, but mister Hewitt, him of the O.H.A., says as how he’ll give them a chant to make a, statement be- fore they goes to the gallus to have the noose put round there necks.

Mr. Ma- hony haswepeatedly said that the boards were invested with almost un- limited powers in deciding disputes between creditors and debtors.
