AMATEUR HOCKEY SEASON HERE TONIGHT Black Hawks Won First Game from Toronto Leafs 'Capacity Crowd Present of New Garden--Game Was Poor Exhibition of Hockey--Gardner, Chi- cago Goalie, Was Indic vidual Star Toronto, Nov. 13. -- Just to show how mean they can be on occasions, the Chicago Black Hawks, who eliminated the Ma- eo Leafs in the playdowns for the Stanley Cup series last Spring, took advantage of the locals again last night and almost spoil- ed the opening of Maple Leaf Gardens and the local National League season by defeating the Leafs 2 to 1 before the largest erowd that ever witnessed an in- door sports event in this city, 13,642, according to official fig- ures. The result of the game was the only part of the opening that was unsatisfactory although the somewhat lengthy opening cere- monies did not appeal to the dyed- in-the-wool fans who wanted hoe- key. But they didn't get much before they left the Gardens well after eleven o'clock as the game was nothing beyond an opening fixture and the showing of the lo- cals was a great disappointment. It wasn't that the Leafs did- n't have enough opportunities to score goals. They had many more chances than had the Hawks but 'over-anxiousness to get goals and win the opening game, coupled with the brilliant performance of Chuck Gardner in the visitors' goal, spoiled their hopes. Last season the Leafs perfected a great system of ganging the op- posing goal when they had a one or two-man advantage and they encountered great success hut last might, although they had a . two-man advantage five different . occasions, they could not get the © system working. At times they © swarmed around the Chicago goal © and rained shots in the general direction of the cage but those . that were not off the line were smothered by Gardner who turn. ed in a great diving, falling and sprawling act to keep the rubber from crossing the line. Gardner's diving almost proved to be the undoing of the Hawks. Midway through the second period Charlie Conacher worked around his check and the defence and went in on Gardner. Generally when Conacher has a chance like this it is a sure goal and every- one was hopeful that the red light would flash, but just as the local rightwinger appeared to Lave the goalie at his mercy the latter dove out. He smothered the shot, but Conacher's knee struck him on the elbow and he fell to the ice, writhing in agony. After an examination he was carried to the dressing-room, where it was found that the elbow was merely bruised and he was able to re- sume after a fifteen-minute wait. Gardner was beaten towards the end of this period by Conacher for the equalizer, but he turned everything else aside, a total of 50 shots, from long and short range. Gardner was undoubtedly the villain of the piece, from a Toron- to angle, although the hero as far as Chicago was concerned, but there were some others, members of both teams, who were consider- ed as villains by the local fans There was quite a bit of persona feeling displayed between indivi- dual members of the two-teams, with Clancy and Couture, the two No, 7's, showing the greatest ano- mosity toward one another, How ever, there was nothing out of the usunal run. The stupidity of the N.H.L. rule-makers was again brought to the front when Primean was giv- en a major penalty for accidental- ly cutting Cook on the forehead in a face-off. Jt w purely acci- dental and might have escaped the eyes of the referee had Prim- eau not stopped to tender first aid to Cook. An intimation to slow-paying customers was thus given by a country shopkeepef: "All persons indebted to our shop are request- ed to call and settle. All those in- debted to our shop and not know- ing it, are requested to call and find out. Those knowing themsel- re Queens Will Lose 11 Players Kingston, Nov. 13, -- Practices this week have indicated that the Tricolor will play a more or less careful game against Varsity, de- pending on the kicking of Carter and Gilmore, though there is no doubt but that the Tricolor will open the play it Varsity should assume the lead. Saturday's game will not only be the last senior game of the lo- cal season but it will mark the ast appearance on the gridiron of eleven Tricolor athletes, includ- ing players who for years have beer an integral part of the Queen's team. Most prominent among the players of this year's team who will be playing on Sat. urday for the last time locally will be Gib McKelvey, who is the sole remaining member of the great team of 1924. Just what a staggering blow the Tricolor Seniors will sustain by graduations is seen from the following list of those who will play their last college game on Saturday: Gib. McKelvey, cap- tair and flying wing; "Red" Gil- more, Barney Reist and Bob El- lott, regular halfbacks; George Caldwell, quarterback; Bob Sitamons, snap; "Blurp'" Stuart, middle wing; Art DeDiana, out- #'de wing; "Weenie" Day, half- back: Hugh Davidson, quarter- Lack; Bert Walker, inside wing. The only regulars who will be tack next year are Howie Carter, kicking half; "How." Hamlin, n.ddle; Bob Ralphs, outside; 'Spud" Murphy and Stan Stan- var. insides; IHendershott and Hollett, outsides. In addition, it wil! probably mark the passing of Harry Batstone, who gradu- utes in medicine after being at Queen's since 1922. With few prospects from the intermediates the Tricelor apparently face a few lean years as far as senior titles are concerned; hence the great kee: on winning the title this year. debted and not wishing to | call place long enough for them.' are requested to st; s to catch in ong Use the hammer of truth where vou have occasion to nail a lie, | Sport Snapshots | The amateur hockey season will be opened this evening at Hambly's arena when this year's edition of the Oshawa Juniors will play against Native Sons of Toronto. Even though the affair is only an exhibition tilt, much attention is being given to the game as it will supply the team with much needed experience as well as showing the management what to expect of the players. * » The game will be called at 8.30 p.m, The Juniors have been practising all week and have been showing up well and on what they have shown so far should be an even better team than last year and that is saying something. Graboski and Authors will be back a sub. last year, form a strong combination, Peterson, Drinkle, who together with Cliff. Maundrell, In addition there is Kelly, a right winger player who trotted his stuff with North Bay last year. The rear guard which performed last year have al] departed but players have been secured to take their places and have shown up well so far. They are Morton in goal, and Ainsley and McCully on the defense. All have had experience and will be better with more experience to- gether, . . \ LJ LJ Rugby enthusiasts will be treking to Alexandra Park to-morrow afternoon for the deciding game of the Blue Devils-Invictus series. The round will be in the nature of a sudden death affair as the teams are tied on the round with eight points apiece. Blue Devils feel that they can win the game and the round as they have the advantage of the grounds and the home crowd. * * In the game in Toronto on Wednesday points against Invictus, which was been scored against that team all The game will start at 2.30 p.m. sharp. w * Blue Devils scored eight the same number of points as had through the playing season.

It would have been a capital idea if the game had been played today, Friday the thirteenth, just to see if there was anything in superstitions.

Collegiate Sport Shorts The arrangements for a game with the North Toronto Collegi- ate team for this afternoon fel! through, but it is expected that one will be arranged for next week. The Badminton Club is just getting under way for its winter season, Since bleacher seats were placed in the Boys' Gymnasium the two courts there had to be laid out anew. Formerly they ran across the width of the gymn, but now they run east and west, Mr. Kerr, the president, npre- dicts a great year is ahead of the club. The members are very en- thusiastic and the courts are well occupied during playing hours. A week from to-morrow, a tourna- ment will be held, followed by re- freshments, Next week, basketball practices will begin in earnest for the boys. Not since 1928 have there been such bright prospects for a cham- pionship team. In 1928, the team was composed of Hubble, Young and Gummow on the forward line and Carver and Baird, guards. Armstrong and Kohen, forwards and Barnum, defence, were the subs. . They coasted through their lea- gue games, winning them by a large margin, and continued on into the play-downs. North Tor- onto Collegiate were easy victims, but U.T.S. were a bit too good for them, winning the round, with only a few points to spare. Port Colborne Win Sr. Opener Port Colborne, Nov, 13.-- Matching stride tor stride and rush for rush with speedy grad- uates of last year's Niagara Falls junior team and making their experience the deciding factor. Port Colborne seniors opened the O.H.A. senior series here last night with a 2 to 1 victory over Gene Fraser's Cataract young- sters. The Lakesiders, finalists of the 0.H.A. race last year, were good value for their victory but the Falls youngstérs were not out- classed. Gene Fraser presented a youthful team which had speed and plendy of stick-handling abil- ity with not a few tricks added for good measure, but last year's finalists, rearranged so that their speed was combined in one line and thelr forceful aggressiveness in another, were too much for the youngsters. As expected, Falls did not hold up under the strain but will be strong contenders throughout the season. The opening fixture was not a record-breaker. cs far as crowds were 'concerned but -it drew a fair erowd congidering unfavorable weather conditions: It was a fitting start for what 'shapes up like the 'best season amateur hockey has enjoyed in many years, not excepting last year, Judge-- "Have you ever scen the prisoner at the bar?" itness--Yes, that's where I met him.'t Canadiens Lost First to Rangers Montreal, Nov, 13.--The world hockey champions, Montreal Can- adiens, started the 1931-32 Na- tional Hockey League season on the wrong foot, dropping their opening game to New York Ran- ers here last night, 4-1, It was ragged hockey, and Chief Referee Cooper Smeaton and his partner, Shaver, watched play closely and handed out a near record total of 35 penalties during the evening. There were 17 penalties in the opening period, 16 in the next and only 2 in the third. Many of the penalties, however, came from infractions of the new rules instead of roughing. The Rangers were full value for their victory. They were bet- ter than Cecil Hart's Canadiens, who were careless in their pass- ing, casual in their backchecking and lacked finish around the nets. The Ranger reserve lines got plenty of work, and the players gave an excellent account of them- telves, Keeling counted for Rangers in the second period on a lone ef- fort, Then Bill Cook rattled one behind Hainsworth from a skir- mish, The third Ranger goal came from a formation attack, Somers slipped the rubber to Dil- lon, who snipped a goal from ten fect out. Canadiens went into the final period with a burst of their old- time speed and color. Morenz slipped a perfect pass to Joliat on left wing and the little fellow picked a corner to heat Roach. It was the kid team of Somers and Dillon who combined for the final goal, Somers picked the puck out of scramble around the Cana- diens' net and passed to Dillon, who shovelled it into the twine. Athanese David, president of the Canadiens' club and provin- cial secretary of Quebec, faced the puck at the beginning of the match, Senior Group Announce Games Toronto, Nov. 13.--With 31 games down to be played before the first of the year, the O.H.A. senior season got under way at Port Colborne last night with Niagara I'alls as the Sailors' op- ponents. Tonight, at the Maple Leaf Gardens, Nationals and Marlboros will have théir official opening in what should be a well played and closely contested game. Next Tuesday, Marlboros and Nationals will play away from home, the Dukes at Hamil- ton and the Sea Fleas at Port Colborne. Of the seven teams in the ser- ies, Hamilton, Niagara Falls, Port Colborne, Marlboros and Kit- chener will py a double sched- ule, each win counting two points. Nationals and Varsity will play only a single schedule, with each victory counting four points. Perry Awarded Russell Trophy Montreal, Nov. 13--Gordon Perry captain and fleet little backfielder of the Winged Wheelers of Montreal, Interprovincial Rugby Union cham- pions, has been awarded the Jeff Russell Memorial Trophy, it was announced here last night, : Perry, one of the surest catching haltbacks and fastest broken field runners in the sport, won the tro- phy over the six candidates nomin- |, ated by the three other clubs in the Big Four and brought the prize to Montreal, the city of its donation for the first time since it was put into competition in 1928, The trophy is given annually to the player who is adjudged by the board of governors as having been of most value to his team from a standpoint of actual playing ability, spirit and good sportsmanship. Perry was M.A.A.A's only nom- ination this year for the honor, while Toronto Argonauts named Joe Wright, snapback, and George Beal quarterback; Hamilton Tigers nam- ed Brian Timmins, line-smashing middle wing, and Beano Wright, kicking halfback; and Ottawa Rough Riders chose Dave Harding, kicking halt, and Charlie Connell, middle wing and quarterback. Former winners of the title are Ernie Cox, Hamilton, 1928; Red Wilson, Argonauts, 1929, and Frank Turville, Argonauts, 1930. SIDE DOOR PULLMANS London, Nov. 13.--'40 Hom- mes 8 Chevaux", the sign dear to the hearts of Great War veter- ans, may be seen again on Satur- day when several hundred uni- versity of Western Ontario stu- dents roll into Montreal in box cars. Too poor to pay the railway fare, the students have opened negotiations with the railways to. ship themselves by freight, to Montreal where the galloping Mustangs, the western gridiron heroes, will battle it out with Me- Gill University with the Inter- collegiate championship as the prize, The team leaves London for Montreal at noon to-day travel- ling in the luxury of Pullmans. e---------- "What are the qualifications necessary to be a ladies' man?" asks a correspondent, Comely ang incomrely, we should say. Yankees Buy | Newark Club New York, Nov, 3.--The "chain" system, once frowned upon by baseball's elect but now regarded as an invaluable ad- junct to a pennant winning club, received an {important convert vesterday with the announcement the New York Yankees had pur- chased the Newark Bears of the International Lague, lock, stock and barrel, The deal, announced by Paul Block, owner of the Beats since 1927, was confirmed by Col Jacob Ruppert wealthy owner of the Yankees, who long has been an ardent admirer of the baseball clearing house conducted by the St. Louis Cardinals. "I have purchased the New ark Club 100 per cent," said Col Ruppert. "We consider it a fine deal, not alone from the baseball angle but as a real estate In- vestment." Although the Yankees for sev- eral years have been "friendly" with such clubs as Hollywood, St. Paul and Jersey City, the Bears are the first team of which they have acquired complete control. The purchase price was not an- nounced. Block, a prominent publisher, bought the club at a receiver's sale for $525,000. Acquisition of the Newark Club, which finished a strong second to Rochester In the last International League race, prom- ises to prove an ideal arrange- ment for the Yankees. They will be able to shuttle reinforcements back and forth across the Hud- son River in record time. Two Yankees, Dusty Cook and Gor- don Rhodes, spent part of last season with Newark. Whether Al Mamaux, veteran pitcher, will be retained as the Newark pilot has not been de- cided, Amerks Rally to Beat Detroit Detroit, Nov, 13.--New York Americans and the Detroit Fal- cons battled for two periods to a tie last night, and then the Am- ericans scored three goals in rapid succession to down the Detroit team, 5 to 2, in the opening game here of the Na- tional Hockey League season. Tied, two-all, at the end of the second period, with goals, by Burch and Lanfb for the Ameri- cans, and Smith and Aurie for the Falcons, the New York team easily forged to the front in the final period, as Himes, Emms and Massecar scored, The game was rough through- out, 14 penalties being called. Herbie Lewis, Falcon wingman, and Patterson, American forward, drew five-minute majors for fist- fcuffs that required the efforts of both squads to halt, Neil--*'It's only a case of pla- tonic fsiendship between Jack and me I assure you." Belle--*"I'm glad to hear that, for Jack has proposed to me." Neil--"What! Oh, the horrid, deceitful wretch! Just wait till I see him!" ATHLETICS GIVE SIX MEN RELEASE Philadelphia, Nov, 13, --Con~ nie Mack, manager of the Phila- deiphia Athletics, announced yes-* terday that he had obtained out fielder Ed. Coleman and pitcher Joe Bowman from the Portland Club of the Pacific Coast League. The Athletics turned over to Fortland outright eatcher Joe Palmisano and outfielder Jim Moore, " The Athletics Yortland on also sent to option outfielder Louis Finney, inflelder Frank Hizgins, pitcher Hank McDon~ ald and Pitcher James Peterson. The younger Pitt had his mo- ments of ironic humour, When England was threatened by a French invasion in 1802 there were a great many volunteer sol- diers enlisted; but the urticles of enlistment guarded these volun- teers very carefully against too much fighting, They were not to take the field "except in case of actual invasion." They were not to be drilled hard "except in case of actual invasion." When Pitt read these articles he frowned. Towards the end of the document he came to a provision that in no circumstances were the volunteers to leave the country. Here he lost patience, and, seizing a pen, add- ed to that proviso, "Except in case of actual invasion!"
