Jack Hobbs, one of the game's best-known figures and former Eng- land and Surrey star, was all for it. Sir Pelham (Plum) Warner, former England captain and test-team selector, thought it a "fantastic" suggestion, Hobbs sald some players never produce their home form and are more or less passengers on the whole tour, "though I doubt if we have any better than those out there now." de svertheion, it 1s a jolly good ea." Sir Pelham sald it would create "a most horrible feeling of uncer- tainty among the players If they thought they might be sent home if they had a run of bad luck." England had sent 17 players to Aus~ tralia and this number was too large if the fellows keep fit." "I think it is the most fantastic suggestion I have ever heard, First you must get your passage to Aus- tralia by alr, and that is uncertain, Then, I understand it is the most trying journey in the world and when you get there after four or five days you want to go to bed for another four days." Pive years a 3 11eyear-old Dur- ham lad, Jack Harper, who weighed less than 70 pounds, became "fed up" looking for work and decided to take a fling as a jockey.

The jockey's greatest satisfaction was in beating Gordon Richards, Michael Barry and other famous Jockeys in the event.

Are Officially Europe-Bound Edmonton, Dec, 16---(CP)---For the first time in hockey history, a junior team-Edmonton Canadians will represent Canada in the world championship to be held at Prague next February. Canadians' acceptance of the in- vitation, politely but firmly declin- ed by Calgary Stampeders, Hamil- ton Tigers, 8t. Michael's College of Toronto and Winnipeg Monarchs, was announced last ight by Dr. W. G. Hardy of Edmonton, president of the International Ice Hockey Asso- clation, Fourteen players--still to be chosen--and three team officials will make the trip. The announcement removed one worry of .Oanadian hockey officials ~what team would agree to repre- set the Dominlon--but the answer to the second question--will the Ed- monton team win the world title for Canada--will have to await the series, It's no reflection on the Can- adians, beaten by Monarchs in the western finals last spring, four games to one, to say they don't rank with Calgary Stampeders, Al- lan Cup champions, Hamilton Ti- gers, Senior Finalists, and probably several other senior teams, Nor are they considered as pow- erful as the 1945-46 edition of the two junior teams which turned down the Prague trip, This year's Canadians may not be as strong as last season's, They dropped a 7-5 decision to Edmonton capitals in a City League game Saturday night. It's safe bet that Stampders, Tig- ers, Montreal Royals and Possibly a dozen other senior teams would have an easy time bringing Canada | another hockey title, If a junior team does it, so much the better, The Edmonton squad isn't making Sil, Fredicy ions. e've got a good club and we'll 80 out best to bring home the ba- con," Coach Earl Robertson says, Tradition is on thelr side, In only one world tournament has Oanada been beaten.

Los Angeles Dong and Chicago Rockets rang down the regulation curtain with a 17-17 tie Sunday before 22,615 fog-bound specta- tors in Memorial Coliseum, Los Angeles finished with sev- en wins, five losses ani no ties, good for third place in the Con. ference's western division, while the Rockets closed out fourth at -6-8, Coached by Dud Degroot, the occasionally powerful Dons show- ed consistency only at the gate, where they were uniformly poor.

Today's Short Story THE KEY By Shirley Ray "DEAF MA and Pa, Jeff and 1 Haye gone to the city to be married. r, you just never will | see things our" way so this is all | there's left for us to do. I'm SOITY, {signed) Jennie." From behind the barn Hiram | eould the ancient auto rattling | toward home, Elviry's gaunt fig. ure at the steering wheel was sil- | houetted against the white road, | and Hiram smiled to himself at the icture of his very large wife in he very small car. As it pulled | into the driveviay he quickly ducked out of sight, Better to have her discover the note herself than run out to tell her about it; be certainly nad no desire to face her wrath, He heard her put the tar into the garage, close the doors, and hasten up the walk into the house. The light went on, he counted to ten, then figured she must have discovered it, Relucte suitly he went into the house him- self, She wheeled upon him sharply, her whole figure trembling with rage and astonishment. Hiram! Have you seen this?" she demanded. He settled himself in the rocker took a long draw on his pipe, and blew the smoke into a thick cloud above his head. She was so upset that she forgot to give him the withering look that meant you- an 4.Yous-repuliive-eorncob. or the thirty years of their married life Elviry had had her way In every matter, big or small, and Hiram Sheyed her wishes meekly and with little fuss, But in the matter of the pipe he was adam- ant. Elviry hated it -- hated the smoke in her spotless rooms -- hated the odor of strong tobacco. But Hiram was firm. As time went on he became very attached to that pipe; to him it was a symbol of his sole triumph over Elviry. "Well, yes," he replied to her question, ; "Do you realize what this means? Jennie--she's gone! Jen- nle's gone, Hiram!" She waved the note wildly in his face. "Now don't go getting excited, Elviry," he said, then added with courage, "After all, she's old enough to know who she wants to marry, and Jeff's a right fine boy." She stormed at the little man | furiously, "They have no right to | marry! He'll never be able to {support her; his own father sald | he'd never make a farmer. All this | talk about his wanting to study engineering and such nonsense -- [ won't have my daughter be his wife!" Her words rushed into and over each other, "The nerve of that rl sneaking off at night with him! They're both flat broke, Howl they live? Answer me at!" He puffed steadily on. "Besides," she continued, volce rising, "it's the principle of the thing, The very idea of her going without a word to me after all I've done for her! It's a lot your fault, Hiram! If I'd been able to bring her up proper without any interference from you, she might have amounted to something, But, no! You always had to stick your two cents in and spoll her some- think frightfull" Hiram's manly pride rebelled against these insults, Elviry," he said ing on so "Now, listen, boldly, "you're just car because Jennle's outwitted you! This would never have happened if you hadn't been so stubborn and would have consented to their marrying in the first place. If there's anything you women can't stand it's to have another woman out-do you--even if she is your own daughter!" He puffed away furi- 0 her usly. ith the look of a woman de- termined, she snatched uw her hat and set it firmly upon her head. She read the note over again, "Jennie says they're leaving for the city. That must mean the 11:15 train, It's just eleven now; if we hurry we can catch her." Under her breath she added to herself, "So she thinks she can outwit me!" and drawing her lips into a hard, thin line, she grimly barged out the door. Hiram followed. She opened the squeaky garage | followed with a flashlight, doors with an effo and they went inside, He puffed away on his pipe as she fumbled in her e handbag. "Hiram, have © the car key?" "No. Elviry, I ain't seen it all he dumped the contents of her purse out frantically, but there was no key, r2ybe you dropped it," he offered, She dashed out the door and he ~Illustrated by Ted. "Hiram," she exclaimed sud- denly, "you sat in that Joddng chair when I came in. What you do with my things?" They searched the driveway. They over. turned flagstones and ran thei: fingers over short blades of grass, But there was no key. They went into the house and turned every- thing upside down. But no key. "I guess we just ain't supposed to find it, Elviry," Hiram declared at length, "It looks as if the fates were all set on Jennle's getting away." "Don't be silly," she snapped. "Now let me think. I came into the house, saw the note propped against the lamp, and dropped everything in the rocking chair in my haste to read it," Her beady eyes wandered over to the rocker. "Hiram," she exclaimed suddenly, "you sat in that rocking chale when you came in, What did you my things?" I set them on the table "Yes you did!" she accused, You set everything there but the car key Don't try to lie to me now, Hiram! I know very well you'd like to see her get away, but I won't have it! Hiram, if you got that key ., ." "Elviry, I swear to goodness, I ain't seen it." She fairly pounced on him. She dove into his pockets; she shook him; she almost turned him upside down, But the search revealed nothing and she was forced to ad- mit defeat. "The train leaves in two mine utes," she walled as she glanced at the clock. Her spirit was entirely broken, Her great frame even seemed to sag. Hiram patted her benevolently. "Well, you go to bed now, Blviti and have a good cry. Crying ale ways does do women folk good. I'll be along in a while," He walked onto the porch. The moon hung large, round and orange over the flelds that stretched before him, The air was sweet with the smell of hay, Far in the distance he heard the mele ancholy whistle of a train, then all was quiet again. He puffed cone tentedly. for a while on his corn cob, then took it from his mouth and knocked the bowl against the ralling., There was a bright flash and a small clink of metal as the ashes fluttered to the ground.
