sport is becoming more pupular
than ever. The United States Anna

affiliated with the International
Skating union, but which is now the
sole controlling body Of ice hockey
in the United States. is doing good
work in promoting and organizing
the sport on the plane which tx
should really occupy.
Last season, for the first time in
the history Of the United States. a
hockey championship was decided.
the Cleveland team capturing the

of two Boston teams, st. Nicholas
OF New York and Quaker City OF
Philadelphia.
Group . is composed Of Pittsburg
St. Paul Cleveland and Duluth.
Group 3, Of Eveleth. Houshton,
Sault Ste Marie and Calumet, Mich
Each group decides its own cham
pionship. then the three winners
meet for the national championship.
Should an intercollegiate cham
pionship be decided, that team is
eligible to enter for the national
championship. This ruling went into
effect at the last annual meeting Of
the L. S A. II. A.
Yale. Harvard and several other
big college hockey teams have their
players registered in the L. S. A.

play teams outside of college teams.

cided before April J. as plans are
under way 70 have an international

Thank the Lord for Ford service

Last Labor day I made a trip into
Maine with no object other than
pleasure. but before I succeeded in
Ruling myself loose from the Way
downeasters my bucket OF joy was
rudely upset
About an hour after 7 alighted
from a Boston and Maine train in
Portland. I met George Daily, for

BUT that's all i'm the days work. In
the sixth inning a Mechanic Falls

was nicknamed the "Old Fox"
1t was back in 1907. New York
was playing at Chicago. Ed Walsh
was doing the pitching. The game
was close, Chicago leading TO 1 up
TO the eighth. I was working the
plate Walsh had gotten out OF sew
eral holes by picking runner of;
first. New York strenuously pro-
tested each time.
Griffith Put One Over.
Feeling sure Walsh was getting
away with something, I remarked to
Griffith as he came to the plate to
protest:
ellis delivery looks all right from
back here. but he must be pulling
something. Tht next runner he
makes look foolish L viii send down.
The first two New Workers were re-
tired. Neal Bali the next hitter
hit safely. Walsh caught him off
first base hatfOoted. I ruled a balk
and sent the runner TO second.
Walsh was peeved. It affected his
work New York made five runs
before the inning was over. winning
the game.
A few years later in discussing
the affair with Griffith. he told me
he had given Ball instructions 20 be
caught off first base, and TO look as
foolish as possible.
Yes sir, Ed Walsh was bad news
