SIX "BY THE MEN WHO Some several weeks ago I told you a TRUE MOIL FOR GOoOLD" yarn about the femmes of the rich Goldfields mining camp on the rim of the Arctic Circle, going to hockey games. How the native Indian women attended the games in silk stockings and ball room dresses and the white ladies watched the play wrapped up in woolen socks, moccasins and deer skin P odag tmscc Word has now drifted out from that remote region where the wrestling matches are staged by the polar bears, to the effect that the booming little town had a full fledged_ice rink this winter. No doubt plenty of ice. It also had a four team mines league. The reports state that the play was fast and strenuous. Money, ~gobs of money, was gambled on every game. 4 3 PW 3 Seuneie To o njmg MRA iR K 6 aa parkas. CEZ MC o dlc o. Soiinint, es â€" 1 9 es oo Raclie s 39 A Grimsby boy, Barry Bourne, son of Town Clerk, G. G. and Mrs. Bourne was a member of the team that won the championship of the league and the gold cup. Radio despatches state that he was one of the teams‘ mainstays all season and was the scintillating star in the playâ€" offs. He scored the goal that copped the gonfalon for his outfit. In the last of the playâ€"off series a referee, one of the best in the west, had to be flown into the camp by aeroplane over a 1,000 miles, to handle the game, as all the refs. who had been doing the dingâ€"donging all winter had the gambling fever too, so a neutral whistle tooter was procured. _prarently the lads who live in the land of six months‘ night, take their hockey seriously, just the same as we do down here in ‘"The Florida of Canada." The only thing they would be lacking would be a ‘Tom Warner. HOCKEY‘S FIRST Knowing Frank Calder, President of the N. H. L. LAWSUIT as I do, I am not surprised at the appended tall tale that he tells. Know him as Hartland Dickson knows him, he is surprised at such a narrative coming from his lips. Anywee, here is the story that Frank told last week while in a reminiscing mood. It is about the first lawsuit ever known in hockey annals and was over the decision of a goal judge. } It happened down in Baltimore away back in 1894 in the early era of the first artificial ice rinks in the United States, when, believe it or not, they had an eightâ€"club league in operation. The first artificial ice rink in Canada wasn‘t opened until 1911. Two teams were meeting in the game that meant the championâ€" ship and a big cup. Of course, in those days there were no nets, and the goal posts sat on wooden pedestals on the ice. There also was no top crossâ€"bar between the posts. The goal judge stood on the ice beâ€" hind the posts. The winning shot whistled past one of the goalkeepersâ€"and then the losing side claimed that the shot had gone over the imaginary line at the top of the posts. iThey also refused to give up possession of the cup. 2 The winning team promptly went to court to get the cupâ€"and they got it when the Judge on the bench upheld the decision that had been made by the judge behind the goal.

WWWM\)\WW’\@\ What are the real reasons that the cause of true temperance sometimes seems to grow so slowly? There are four which every fairâ€"minded man will recognize . .. OnrE: A failure to recognize the fact that a control law is designed for the control of those who drink â€"and not to please those who object to drinking, even in moderation. Two: The excesses of the few whom prohibition taught how NOT to drink! TurE®E®: The lack of successful control in the areas under local option! Four: The misguided efforts of exâ€" tremists, sincere and insincere, to discipline rather than educate our own generation! For no law which aims at making people "good" against their will will ever do anyâ€" thing but the opposite! Every man openâ€" minded enough to read a simple lesson of history must admit the fact. Prohibition itself taught it! The present law merits the support of Jim Went To The Gellar They spray paint them until they look brighter and l a, nicer than they did when new.
