waning and determined finally 10 send in
their challenge regardless of the fact that
no decision had been reached In the

that their challenge was forwarded too
late to be. considered.

there is a clause providing that chal-
lenges must be in before Sept. l. thus
giving the American champions a weeks
time after the close Of the Canadian Sc
Ties. This year owing TO the intense RI
Valry between the Canucks a number of
games were protested and ordered to be
played over, and as far as the local club
is advised the championship has not yet
been decided Notwithstanding this me
