SEVEN HOCKEY TEAMS TO
BE. RESTORED TOMORROW

Six-rnen hockey teams have been
tried and found wanting by. the Ma
tional Hockey Association of Canada,
and the seven-nen teams will be of
hcia1ly restored tomorrow. The re-
duction in the number of players was
made to reduce expenses, but it has
resulted in miserable exhibitions, and
the restoration of the old system will
be hailed with delight by the fans.
There seems to have been little more
reason for adopting the six-men rule
than there would be for baseball mag
mates to reduce the number of play
ers to seven or eight, and the effect
has been pretty much the same.
Hockey is entitled to the claim made
for it by its admirers of being 'tthe
greatest of all Winter sports,'' and,
even for old sake's sake, the fans
would have protested against such a
radical innovation. The difference be-
tween six-men and seven-men teams
has been found to be the difference
between s1ipshod and classy play.

ney' of our youth.
While the game has its greatest
vogue in the Dominion. hockey is
rapidly attaining popularity through
out the continent. The visits of crack
Canadian teams to New York and
Boston have resulted in much hockey
enthusiasm in those cities, which now
have a number of good amateur
teams, and the formation of the
American Amateur Hockey League

among a score of United States cities
in which hockey has become immense

ing been reduced from 81 per cent, In
July to 30 per cent on August l. Okla
homa came next with a condition with
A against 81 in July and Nebraska re-
ported 81 against 81 July l.. These three
states have almost 10 per cent of the
total area planted to corn this year.
A bright spot in the monthly grain re-
port, however. was the showing of a
production of 5i1 100000 bushels of winter
wheat. This is the greatest harvest of
wheat ever gathered in the United States,
