12 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE, Thursday, January 22, 1058 ° oad a am J. Sutherland's Greates YET Awl» i L YW ULI Stems From Baseball Shrine By JIM BASTABLE Canadian Press Staff Writer , _ KINGSTON, Ont, (CP)--Big Jim Sutherland, - one - time travelling shoe salesman, gave hockey the idea for a priceless memorial 'be. cause he was curious about base- ball. ' ; A huge, white-haired figure, Sutherland had been selling shoes nearly 60 years when he created the international hockey Hall of |toy Fame in 1943 to honor hockey's greats and the men who made the game possible, Hockey has been Jim's life for most of his 83 years. He talks hockey. He dreams hockey. He has great hopes for it, too. .. The square-shouldered 200-poun- der has been mixed up in the game so long he's almost an in- stitution, While his 83-year-old wife collects - antiques, Jim stores up .hockey mementoes. RECORD OF HOCKEY Hockey literature , is scattered throughout his three-storey home in downtown Kingston. Pictures of old-time players hang from living- room walls, The Hall's honor roll book is locked up in his dining room. Pictures and scrolls are piled waist-high beside his bed, waiting to be placed in hockey's shrine. This is the life of Capt. James Suthherland, an army captain in the First World War and No. 3 of 42 men on the Hall's honor roll. He is one of the pillars upon which amateur hockey was built in the country. He was a gangling defenceman playing organized hockey 67 years ago when some of the -hall's immortals were hockey fledglings. when nets were unheard of, upright posts served as a goal and goal judges signalled scores by upraised arms, Big Jim, now on a pension, has cherished memories and a firm belief that the Hall of Fame will some day be a reality. He visioned it when he visited baseball's shrine at Cooperstown, N.Y., "just out of curiosity to see what it was like." MATTER OF TIME : Although the site here is un- yched, Jim figures it is only a matter of time. His big-jawed face beams when he talks of his dream. "We'll raise all the money we need, The Hall of Fame will be a reality. Yes, sir, you can be sure of that." His only hope is that it will be finished "before I go to the little plot of land I bought in the ceme- tery.' - Sutherland was born in Kingston several intermediate and junior Ontario titles. "During that time," Jim said, "I never took a cent out of hockey and I was never paid a cent." Included in his treasured memen- toes of the game are five inscribed watches and other small tokens. In i9ii, he was elecied io ile executive of the Ontario Hockey Association and in 1915 and .1916 he was named OHA president. He also served as presideny wi ihe CAHA for four terms--1915-1918-- 80 long. When Sutherland was elected to the Hall of Fame 10 years ago he was flabbergasted. "There must be some mistake," he exclaimed. That was just like Jim Suther- land, likable and modest, Oshawa Man President Port Perry Yacht Club PORT PERRY -- Oshawa sports- man Vince Otto was elected presi- dent to succeed Ernie Sulman, at the annual general meeting of the Port Perry Yacht Club hére over the weekend. A large turnout of members heard the Committee of manage- ment, under Commodore Sulman, give a review of the year's ac- tivities which were very success- ul. Oct. 10, 1870, and the flame of his | fy] love for the game burns as brightly as ever. It doesn't take much for Jim to recall such men as Frgnk McGee, Charlie Drinkwater, Mike Grant, Si Griffis, Harry Trihey, Billy Hewitt and many others, He knew most of them. PIONEER PLAYER He started. playing organized hockey in 1885--claimed 'to be the first year an organized hockey league was formed in the country. He was a defenceman for the old | Athletics Club of Kingston and in| 1897 he called it quits--four years | after he married Ethel Mary Met- | calfe. However, Jim couldn't stay away from the game. He helped organ-| ize the Frontenac Hockey Club, acting as manager and coach. He stayed with the organization until it disbanded in 1926 after winning Fleet Capt. Ross Mowbry report- ed that the three Power Boat Re- gattas from a racing standpoint, were exceptional. '"'Several Cana- dian Championships were won by our club members, and our Club was represented in many regattas held throughout Ontario and Que- bec and United States during the | past summer." Commodore Sulman then turned the chair over to our new Com- modore, Vince Otto, who officiated at the election of officers for the coming year. The results showed the election of the following mem- ers: Vice Commodore, Ted Griffen, Port Perry; Rear Commodore, Phil Orde, Port Perry; Trustees, Doc.
