'Withdraw Fro The first hassle of the Port Hope Redmen May m League Hope tives thr d to has taken place to liven things up in the Lakeshore Hockey League and as a result the Port Hope Red- | men have threatened to withdraw from further league play. The chain reaction was started off on Wednesday evening of last week when Orono Orphans protest- ed their 6-5 loss to the Port Hope squad on the grounds that Bill Pe- ters and Bob Holden were inelig- ible to play for the Redmen. At a hearing into the case of Peters and Holden which was held in the O.H.A. office in Toronto on Monday, the Port Hope executive claimed that the players were liv- ing in that town, while Orono claimed they were still residents of Oshawa. The hearing brought out the fact that while Peters and Hol- den were registered at the Queen's Hotel in Port Hope they had not been living there. The O.H.A. ordered the protested | game awarded to Orono and also | enjoined the Port Hope executive not to us Peters and Holden again | this season. | THREATEN WITHDRAWAL On Tuesday the disgruntled Port Jack-Jill Club , Elects Officers withdraw the Redmen from league play and cancelled their home game with the Bowmanville Bar- | ons scheduled for Wednesday nignt in Port Hope.
