Boston, Jan. 29-Ray Schooley,
manager of the Pittsburgh Hockey
and secretary of the U. S. Amateur
Hockey Association, commented here
today on the controversy between the
associa ton and the Ontario Hockey
Association.
"The trouble which has caused the
o. III. A. to ban their teams from
coming to the United States" he said,
hinges upon two Misrepresentation
one of the word migration and the
other of application of force There
Is no such thing as proprietary
right of club in player when he
is an amateur.
"The Canadian association does not
realize that migration as 1T applies
to a player going from one city in
the o. II. A, or one club to another
city or club applies likewise to an
amateur player leaving the 0. H. A.
and coming to Boston, Pittsburgh or
any other place in the United States.
Application of force was thoroughly
defeated in the World war and the
o. II. A. cannot hope to gain any
thing by it.
1--WE will insist that Canadians
produce specific evidence against
players when they protest them to U.S.
The 0. II. A. players now with Pitts
burgh left Canada because they re-
fused to be manhandlcd in Toronto
