          WANT TO RETAIN THE CITY LEAGUE

        As Training School For O.H.A. Team - Hockeyists are in Quandary, However

       Local hockeyists want to place a team in the intermediate O.H.A. series, but at the same time they 
       desire to retain the city league as a means of developing the young talent.  They want to have a strictly 
       home team in the O.H.A. but unless something is done to show the ability of the younger element from
       year to year, St. Thomas's stay in the big game will be of short duration.  There is one big obstacle in 
       the way of the city league, and this is the question of procuring the ice.   With an O.H.A. team on the 
       ice, there will be no money in city league hockey, and it will mean almost a dead loss to the rink people
       every time a night is given over to the league.  If the curlers will give up the rink for two nights a week to 
       hockey, one would be utilized for the O.H.A. game and the other to any league ......................

        MAN AT WHEEL BLAMED

        The collision in the harbour of Seattle was due to Charles Dennison, mate of the Dix, who, being at the
        wheel,  threw it hard to starboard instead of to port when given the signal to cross in front of  the ore freighter,
       Jennie.   He is among the 42 drowned.  Of six women aboard, only one, Alice Simpson, a girl of 17, escaped.
