CATARACTS TROUNCE MARLBORO SENIORS Niagara Falls, Dec. 16.--Marl- boros ran into an unexpected tum- ble here last night when they fell before Gene Fraser's young and speedy Niagara Falls Cataracts by a' 2-0 score. The defeat cost the Dukes the chance to the Nationals for the lead in the O.H.A. hectic senior race and made it more important than ever that they trounce the unbeaten Port Colborne Sailors in the all-important game in Ma- ple Leaf Gardens on Friday night. There isn't any doubt as to which was the better team here last night. The Cataracts get the call from every angle. They out- skated the Dukes. They played better combination up front, while Scotty Bowman, Walter Kalb- fleisch and Hib Esseltine, in goal, gave the home forces an unbeat- able defence. It was a great game of hockey from start to finish. The sustain- ed speed by both teams was amaz- ing. There wasn't a weird moment at any stage of the play and the 4,000 fans, the largest crowd of the season, left the rink at the conclusion of sixty minntes of ex- citing play convinced that they had witnessed the most outstand- ing exhibition of hockey here in years. It wasn't that Marlboros played poorly that accounted for their defeat. The effective checking all over the ice, the combination of the forward line and the general all-around speed of the Cataracts had the Dukes disorganized, The Christie men tried every- thing they knew in an effort to overcome the Cataracts' brilliant hockey, but they were simply out- played, againgt the speed and checking of the Fraser clan they were more or less helpless from a scoring way of looking at things, New York Rangers Tie With Boston Boston, Dec. 16, -- The New York Rangers failed to break the Bruin jinx last night ag they bat- tled into an overtime period to gain a 2 to 2 tle. All the scoring came in an exciting opening period and after that both teams appear- ed to have exhausted their offen- sive strength. But much of the ex- citement came in the second per- iod after Eddie Shore, Bruins' de- fence man, had left the ice on a penalty, The Rangers bombarded the Bruin goal, but failed to break the deadlock. Welland started the scoring when he teamed up with Clapper and Shore. The flashy Barry add- ed another tally soon afterward when he dashed down the rink alone and slashed the disc past Roach. The Bruins fought to hold the two-point lead, but Boucher and Bill Cook soon flashed down The Answer to the ~ MAIDENS' PRAYER ists wa ho faidens ift question.

Grove of Athletics One of Greatest Pitchers of all Time Chicago, Dec. 16.--Robert M. Grove's pitching deeds entitle the Philadelphia Athletics' attenuated southpaw to ranking among the greatest pitchers of all time. The American League official pitching averages released to-day reveal that: Grove, with a record of 31 vie- tories and four defeats, made the greatest record of any southpaw in American League history. Grove's winning percentage of .886 was the highest in the ma- jors since 1900. Grove is the first pitcher in el- ther league to win 30 games since Jim Bagby, Cleveland, won 31 and lost 12, in 1919. Grove takes his place with Jeff Chesbro, New York (1904), Ed. Walsh, Chicago (1908), Joe Wood Boston (1911), Walter Johnson, Washington (1912), and Bagby as the only American League pitchers to win more than 30 games in one season, Grove led the league in earned runs per game with 2.05, led in strike-outs with 175 and was sec- ond in the number of innings pitched, 289. His teammate, George Walberg, 'was first with 291 innings. Has Won 146 Games In the seven seasons that Grove hag pitched for the Athletics he has won 116 games and lost 61, an average of .705. In this period He has pitched 133 complete games. During the last four sea- sons he has won 103 ang lost 23. The main reason why the Ath- letics won the American League pennant is revealed by earned run average of the Philadelphia pitchers. The Athletics' entire staff allowed but 347 earned runs per game, an excellent rec- ord for one pitcher to say nothing of an entire staff The records of the "Big Five" of the Athletic staff follows: WwW.

Gomez won 21 games and lost 9, Of the five most effective piteh- ers, three of them were south- paws, Grove, Gomez and Lloyd Brown, Washington, who was fifth with 3.20, Rommell, A's right- handed relief pitcher, was third with 2.98 and Irving Hadley, Washington right-hander, recent. the ice and Bill shot one into the Bruins' net. Murdoch and Somers co-operated to bring the tying score, The play of Hitechman cf the Bruins and Ching Johnson of the New York team stood out during the period. On tavio Pre L oop May be Revived Guelph, Dec. 16. -- Several ticmbers of the executive cogn- mittee of the Ontario Pro. Hockey League, as well as some of last year's players in the circuit met here last evening to talk over the prospects for the revival of the toop this year. Indications point to the group operating with four clubs, West Toronto, sponsred by Teddy Oke: Galt Terrlers, Kitchener and Guelph, There is a possibility that Brantford and verhaps Woodstock will Join us but the Stratford entry which op- erated last year is definitely out. It would appear ihat the Niag- ara Falls Franchisc of last sea- son will be transferred to Tor- outo, and the Oshawa franchise to Brantford, while if Woodstock comes in, it is likely that efforts will be made to send the Strat- ford franchise to that city, RECOMMENDATIONS ARE MADE BY WOMEN FOR LEGISLATION Toronto, Ont. --- The sugges- Lion that local councils of women urge the government to have medical inspection carried out in high schools as it is in public schools and colleges, was made at a meeting of the Ontario pro- vincial council of wamen yecent- ly. Mrs. W, R. Lang, convenor ot legislation, in presenting a re- pert, suggested that the govern- ment be asked to alter the Dower Act to allow a married woman a share in her husband's property while he is living and a right to if! will it at death. A further recommendation was that the government be asked to set every prisoner to work and that part of his earnings go to his family.

Leafs Tied With Americans 2 All New York, Dee. 16/~--The Tor- ento. Maple Leafs and New York Americans battled through 70 minutes of hard hockey, punctn ated by a free-for-all fight in the penalty box, to a 2 to 2 tie last night. The draw put the Leafs in a tie with the idle Montreal Can- adiens for second place in the Canadian division of the National Hockey league. The penalty box battle came in the middle of the second period, just after Toronto had scored their first goal. It started when Red Horner of Toronto charged George Patterson, American wing | man, and zot a crack with a stick | in return. They began to fight in the "cooler" and when fans tried to separate them, Horner included the peacemakers among the ob- Jects of his wrath. Several Tor- onto players piled over the boards and fans rushed in from all sides, The thickness of the crowd finally ended hostilities when there waa no room left to swing fists. Horn. er drew a ten minute penalty for his share and retired to the dress- ing room for repairs on his face. Patterson was given a major for slashing. The Americans zot off to an early lead when Patterson got a thot past Goalie Lorne Chabot soon after the game started and Normie Himes backhandeq in a short one just before the end of the, first period. Alex Levinsky | scored Toronta's first counter I's a solo dash down the left whe and Charlie Conacher tied the | count in the third period on a long drive that R.
