Tills method l« being used to raise funds to stage the Westei n Canada cricket tournament this summer.tions must declare a winner by Marchinstead of Feb. 10 as previously,and which was considered too early, British Columbia was the onlv province ready by February 20th tin* year. March 1 was suggested hv some delegates, while tho O H A. the largest organization suggested March 10, and a compromise was speedily reached.Following a statement by Mr. Northey on the expenses of Allan cup teams, it was decided that 12 men he the maximum for nil teams In the future.

Rumors About GranitesAt today’s meeting of tho N.H.D, directors in Montreal, Major Thane McDowell, V.C., one of tho Ottawa representatives, will present an application for a franchise from Peter Campbell, of Toronto. This statement does not mean much to tin* western fans hut the explanation that Campbell was the manager of the Canadian Olympic team before their departure for Chamonix, and was one of the organizers of this Granites upon the return of tho players from overseas, conveys a lot-Practically all of the local member* of the Olympic team have received professional offers, both before and after aheir successful return from the world's amateur title. While they wore away a letter from one «fthem spiked the rumor tl it Hool s Smith was going to turn pro. by stating that all or none of them would make the jump. The Granite club is through with hockey and for some time there have been rumors that a local man. who managed championship amateur team* and also a professional team for a n irn-had lined the Gran information could**.1Iher of years, up, but no gleaned.Major McDowell stated he wnu support the application and add' that Campbell had everything ready if his application is granted. Another artificial Ice rink will he built her* this summer and as Hoston looks like passing up its franchise this season, there is every reason to expect that Campbell's application will succeed, so as to round out a sit club league with the four present clubs and New York.SWJM TITLES AT STAKE MONDAYFour Provincial Champion• ships to be Decided at Cornish Baths GalaThe annual nwlmmfnr Manitoba auction of the f held in the Cornish baths Four provincial rhatnploi tl**cld#n, The event prom of more than u*uitl nttra cltv championship for hoy also duo for dec la on, andof the Monday night*ahlpa will tto ha orttveneas TV acont teams this 1aagenerally of an exciting nature.Th*** ma?n events usually Jtrou** keen rivalry among the various club*, and *ti d entries ns Mart MrKa, urniit ttrooka, Albert Fori, Wm.
