After a long season without suffivrient cpposition, the Shoremen seem just to be hitting their stride at the present time. They seemed able last night to give any team, amateur or professional, a good game. It is regrettable that now that they are hitting the ice track on all fours that there is no one left in Canada to play. The teams:â€" Lake Shore: Goal, Durnan; defence, Snowden, Milton; centre, Kowcinack; #ings, Cooper, Bellinger;â€" alternates, Graboski, McCreedy, Duff, Bellinger, Brown, Smith, Walton, Cook, Boston. Calgary: Godl, MacNamara; defence, Millman, Dewar; centre, Desmarais; wings, Jempson, Patrick; alternates, P. Hill, Duchak, Fenn, Burke, H. Hill, Shannon, McFadden, Thirswell. Officials: Clarence Campbell, Edmonâ€" ton, Bert McCaffrey, Toronto. sUMMARY First Périod 1.1â€"Kirkland, McCreedy Assisted by Desmarais, Patrick got the only Calgary goal of the game in the third. Jéempson also figured on the play. Smith scored again for before the period ended. McCreedy got his third tally assisted by Kowcinak and Cooper at seven minâ€" utes in the third period. Then Graboski sailed down alone on what was desâ€" cribed as the prettiest goal of the evenâ€" ing. Turning on his famed speed, Jo Jo whizzed past Calgary players and in on MacNamara. Before the western goalie could collect himself to take the shot, the puck was in the net. Walton scored with an assist by Brown, and Brcwn tallied when he picked up a loose puck. McCreedy got the first three goals. Last night was the third time since the Allan Cup playâ€"downs began that McCreedy has accounted for three or more goals in one game. He lashed out with Jo Jo Graboski and Duff for the first at the 11.00 minute mark. Second came five minutes later on a lone effort. Led by Winnipezer Johnnny McCreedy, the Blue Devils were by far the best squad last night. They swept through the Calgary defences in bursts of speed reminiscent of the Rangers in the Stanâ€" ley Cup playâ€"offs with the Leafs. This was the first time Kirkland Lake ever get past the Ontario finals. In this series they have swept through like a whirlwind and have lost only one game in the month of playâ€"off gamesâ€"that to Sydney Millicnaires. In this final geries against the western team the Kirklanders have won 8 to 5; 9 to 1; and Kirkland Lake £ the Allan Cup in Toronto, last nigh Calgary Stampede gecutive time.

THE PORCUPINE ADVANCT, TTMMINS, ONTARIO Crime Sternly Punished Curiously enough, even in England, awrhere, as we have giggested, caste disâ€" tinction between amateurs and profesâ€" â€" Preying on Amateurs So far as Canada is concerned, amaâ€" teurism began to be corrupted when the amateurs began to notice that a lot of other people were making considerable sums of money out Of the exercises of the athletes themselves. No doubt they would all have ‘been content to play ‘their various games for the fun of the thing until they perceived that they were enriching certain managers, promoters, owners of rinks and playing fields. Forâ€" a long time the impresarios were able to stand off the amateurs by pregsenting them at the end of a season with little badges, medals, or perhnaps even a suitcase or a watch suitably enâ€" graved. Many of them were content with these insignia so long as they beâ€" lieved that they were striving for a school} or college or later for some club. Then it dawned upon even the dimmerâ€" witted of them that the club was a moneyâ€"making cancern and that the people who made the money were not the athletes who did all the work, but managers and secretaries who were nothing but parasites on the body @thletic. | *"We note that the governing bedy of Canadian amateur hockey has decided ts modify its insistence upon amateurâ€" |ism. That is to say members may reâ€" ‘ceive payment for their services and |still remain amateur. It seems a tradicticon in terms but at least it will have the effect of removing much of the hypscrisy in which amatour hnockey and other supposedly amateur sports in Canada have been swathed. We are able to discarn no differenzse ‘between an amateur and a prcfessional player except that ‘the latter is almost invariâ€" ably the more expert. Morally there is |nothing to chooss between them, unless the advantage is on the side of the professicnal, for hitherto the amateurs have been under the necessity of taking that they were amateurs, which is something like a woman making formal affidavit as to her chastity, w.ien as a matter of fact they were profesâ€" sionals. _ With the exzreption of and university athletics and those who engags in water sports, we think that the great majority of alleged Canadian amateur athletes, especially the more expert, have been paid for their serâ€" vices over a long pericd of years. An English ‘Inheritance "We see nothing wrong in this exâ€" cept «the fraud and hypocrisy W1tn which amateurism has been invested. The distinction between amateurs and professionals seems to have come to us as a tradition of British sport, in which the case system has been finmly estabâ€" lished. â€"The basic idea was that the amateur was a gentleman, while the professional was merely a fellow., Engâ€" larxd has always had a leisured class made up of gallant and athletic youths who found their chief interest in variâ€" ous sports. They did not have to maks a living, and therefore could devote. as much Of their time as they wished to their favourite games. Other Englishâ€" men could devote their time to games only on the condition that they were @abie to make a living at them, and so| it was arranged that if they had the requisite skill they could become proâ€" fessional footballers, cricketers, jockeys,| boxers, and so forth. Tn view of the' fact that their living depended upon their skill, they were apt to take their sports more seriously than the amaâ€" teurs, and therefore generally excelled them. (But socially they were some-i what patronized as a class unable to play games unless they were paid ror‘ it. That, ,perhaps, is a natural enough distinction in England, but it is a wholly artificial one in Canada, where there is no such leisure class of young men. In Canada it is the custom of young men of wealthy parents to work for aj living, of at least to have some osten-l sible means of supporting themselves. Gentliemen as Players "In England one of the great sportsl events of the year used to be a cricket} match between amateurs and profesâ€" sionals. They were referred to on the programmes as Gentlemen vs. Players. The names of the gentlemen were preâ€" ceded by the Mr. or Captain or Dr., as the case might jbe, while the 'Pla.yers} were simply Jones, Brown and Worthâ€" moreâ€"Brockingtonhampshire. The enâ€" trances to their respective dressingâ€" rooms were indicated by the signs Gentlemen and Players. It is obvious that in England the term "gentleman* has a specific meaning which does not exist in Canada. A gentleman is simâ€" ply a person who does not work for a living. The person who does work may be ane of nature‘s noblemen, but cerâ€" taimly he is not a gentleman. The same distinction is to be observed in what sceems to us to ‘be the greatest sporting eÂ¥ent in the world, the Grand National Steeplechase at Aintree, near Liverâ€" pool, each spring. Here amateurs and professionals compete on fairly level terms, for riding is one exercise to which a gentleman can devote himself as assidudously and continuously as a professional. He can make a career of it a satisfactory life work. If the jockey is a professional he is simply BRlank. If he is not a professional he is| Mr. Blank. | The following is by J. V.

Johnny McCreedy a, Winnipeg boy, playing for the first series of his life against a western team, led the attack that spelled virtual elimination of the Stampeders. The clever winger, held scoreless in the first contest, bagged three goals and assisted in one. sionals, there never wore such rigid barriers between the two as in Canada. In â€"England professionals compete against amateurs in cricket, in footâ€" ball, in racing, and perhaps in other sports. InCanada it was considered as great a sin for an amateur to compets against a professional as to accept mcney for his services. It has hapâ€" pened more than‘ once that when a single member of an amateur team has been found accepting money, the other members of the team were disqualified, and also all members of other teams. that competed against them. This kind of insanity, it seems to us, is likely to disappear now that a more realistic view of amateurism in hockey is being adoptâ€" ed cfficially.
