They are not going to allow anyone to say that they themselves are not trying to help the gum. They have already adopted more good legislation In one day than the last five years combined. They have stepped out on the right foot and eliminated all chances for buck handed slaps from their adversaries. The coaches first of all have barred to membership In their national association any Individual who has anything to do with the professional sport from now on. Thoy have ruled against the selection of all-stur teams by any of their members and have limited practice sessions to two hours a day after Sept.

Yes, It was Impossible at that time when the Reds already had the man they wanted from Minneapolis. Let Kelley worry, was their Idea of the situation. And Kelley did plenty of worrying, too. But now when the Reds needed and wanted Emmer, they got Mr. Caveney out of the majors In double quick time.

PAUL TO FIFTH PLACE Eveleth Makes Grand Finish in Third Period to Score 5-2 Win The St. Paul hockey players must win from the Hibbing-Eveleth team tonight in the second game of the series at the Hippodrome or else themselves resting in the fifth place in the Central division standings.

It seemed like victory was certain but few of the fans figured upon the Eveleth puck chasers going wild In the last period. In the first period, the two teams played only mediocre hockey with neither side being able to register a tally. The SainU took the lead along about the, middle of the second period when Acaster went down the Ice and took a shot at Paddy Byrne, the puck bouncing off his chest in front of the net where Naismlth ploked up the rubber disc and sent It flying Into the lace curtain. The Saints were spurred on by this play, and after a few more rushes down the ice, Goheen skated wide of the wing and feinted a shot, passing to M.ilmlth who was all set. He took his time about giving the puck a ride into Byrne's citadel.

tanked Like Cinch When the St. Paul team came on the Ice few of the fans realized that the two goal handicap would fioon be lost. The Eveleth team, considered the ereatest skating team in the league, soon hit Its real stride and found the oversize Hipprodrome rink to its lik ing, outskating the Saints by a large margin. At the start of the third period, pre caution was to tho winds and the Eveleth rushes started with three and four men combinations going down the Ice. Scrimmage after scrimmage retulted in front of the net and with in a short time the score had been tied when DesJardine and Hill batted the puck Into the nets.
