8 THE WINNIPEG TRIBUNE, SATURDAY, MARCH 17, 1906. SPORT GORMAN SAYS NOT Captain States That C.A.A.U. Will Take Action it Game is On. The Konnra Thistles will not play the proponed exhibition game will) the Portage Lake professionals ut the Auditorium rink next Wednesday night. This decision was reached early this morning, when President A.

H. Donley, of the Manitoba League, who Is acting on (Sohalf of the Thistles, received a couple of wires from the east, each stating that the Thistles' amateur standing would bo Jeopardized If they took on the professionals. REPLIES TO THE POINT. The wires sont east by President Ponley requested eastern opinion on the Thistles' status provided they took on the hired men. even with the sanction of the Manitoba Hockey League.

They were sent to Cant. Gorman, president, and Fred J. Tees, secretary, of the C. A. A.

U. Tho replies were short and to the point. WHAT TEES SAYS. To the query. Capt.

Gorman meerly replied "Yes." Secretary Tees' answer was a little more explicit, his wire being as follows: A. B. Ponley, Winnipeg. Man. Th Canadian Amateur Athletic Union cannot possibly sanction such game If gate receipts are charged.

FRED. J. TEES. Secy. Montreal, March IT.

GORMAN THREATENS ACTION. The Tribune also wired Capt. Gorman for his opinion, adn his reply to that query eholqed Just about settle the case. His telegram was as follows: C.A.A.IT. will take action If the Ke-rmra Thistles hockey team play with Houghton professionals ort uny other professional team.

T. GORMAN. President C.A.A.U. Montreal, March 16. Gam is Off.

The game is therefore off. President Donley wired the answers of tho C.A. A.U. officers to the Kenora management this morning and the question wili now be allowed to drop. Thistles are Pleased.

It Is doubtful If there will be any more pleased people over the outcome than the Thistle players themselves. They were not anxious to piny ngalnst the pros as they did not wish. to take nny chances In their trip east after the Stanley Cup. The players believe that they can Just about lift that piece of silverware and accordingly were loath to endanger another trial at It. for the gate receipts of an exhibition match.

Want to Hold Team. Then who knows but what the were loath to play for other good reasons. The professional clubs are ever looking for good players and a game between the Thistles and Hough-tons might have opened the eyes of the pros, as to the quality of hockey the Thistles play. The Thistles are anxious to hold their team together for next season and accordingly by not playing the game a danger to breaking up tho team may be guarded against. Phillips Hurt Again.

Word has Just been received from Kenora that Tomy Phillips the dashing left wing. Is out of the game for the balance of the seuson. In practice on Thursday night. Tommy had a bad fall and his shoulder Is bnd again. The Thistles have a game to play to-night against the Sniiris seven, champions of the M.

and N.W.H.A. Tho match will be played at Kenora. After this match tho Thistles will likely hang up their sticks for the season. TO BOOST THE GAME. J.

E. McNamaro of Portage Lake Here on a Missionary Trip. J. E. McNamaro, manager of the Portage Lake hockey team and the professional team now in Winnipeg, parsed through the city yesterday on his way to join the team In the Prairie City, says the Duluth News-Tribune.

He will be present at the first exhibition game which takes place tonight and will assist materially In the formation of a professional league there by handing out the proper kind of talk to the hockey enthusiasts of Winnipeg, many of whom are waiting with open hearts to receive it. "I believe the boys will find the ground all ready for the seed of professional hockey." said Mr. McNamnra yesterday. "It has been the national winter game of Canada for many years and nowhere has It taken llrnn-r hold than In the Northwest, where amateur hockey Is about as well played as anywhere In the world. Their Interest In professional hockey Is shown In the splendid inducements offered our boys nnd there is no doubt but they could, work a professional to great advantage" During his brief stay in the city the WE'RE A LITTLE NOISY About our smart spring Men's clothes, but we are fully justified.

Members of tho Duluth Curling rink were seen and efforts made to have the directors give their consent for the use of the rink. This question will be decided today.

Mr. McNamnra Is strongly In favor of Duluth going into professional hockey and believes that a first-class rink would be a paying Investment. FINAL STANDING- The final standing of the professional league without the Canadian Soo games, which do (not affect the race. Is: Goals, dimes, F. A.

The championship games under the auspices of the Pastime Athletic club, which will be held uf Madison Square Garden this evening, give every promise of being the most Interesting and Important athletic events of the season. The programme for the event Is unusually attractive and the entries far above the average. Several of the large colleges of the east will bo represented by teams In the relay races and by Individual contestants In the field events.

Some of the most famous sprinters and runners from all parts of the country will compete for the valuable prizes. One of the features of the games will be the special events taken from the programme of the Olympic games. The American athletes selected to represent the United States at the Olympic games in Greece during the coming season will compete In the races, which will be something of a preliminary try-nut for them. One of the events will he a one mile race for high school boys. OARSMEN TO MEET.

Amateurs Will Decide on National Regatta. New York, March 17. The annual spring meeting of the executive committee the National Association of Amateur Onrsnien will be held at the New York Athletic club this evening. The main object of the meeting is to fix the time and place for the annual regatta during the coming summer. It Is expected that there will be several contestants In the field, but the general opinion Is that the committee will locate the regatta either on the Connecticut river at Springfield, or on Lake Quinsigamond, near Worcester.

Moss. Philadelphia will be among the bidders, but It seems to have little show this year. Another decision, tt Is expected, will be reached at this meeting, as to whether or not all races In the future shall be rowed over a straightaway course. It is considered more than a mere probability that the committee will ndnpt the straightaway idea, as It Is held to be more satisfactory than a course which involves the negotiation of a turn.

"As far as I am personally concerned, you can Bay that I will have nothing to do with having a professional hockey seven at the Auditorium rink next season. As far as I know, we will stick to the same order of things us In years past. We will try to accommodate the BLACK EYE FOR FROS.

Albeit E- Fulljames, one of the proprietors of the Auditorium rink, made the above statement to a reporter for The Tribune this morning, and tho first black eye to the proposed placing of a professional seven in Winnipeg can now be said to have been delivered. With the Auditorium management opposed to tile project it looks as if It will fall through. OTHER ASSISTANCE DOUBTFUL. Since the scheme wus first broached the maangement of the Auditorium have been prominetnly connected with the project. It Is generally known that they have been figuring on tho scheme for some time.

Ac they cannot see their way clear to undertake placing a seven In the professional league, It Is hardly likely that tho required assistance will come from other quarters, TRANSPORTATION PROBLEM. Mr. Fulljames realizes that if Winnipeg la represented In the professional ranks, the western team must be a crncker.lack. He does not anticipate any difficulty in securing the players for such a seven, but lie looks askance at tho transportation problem. The railway Jump from Winnipeg to the Copper Coutry is not 'to be sneezed at, while a further.

Jump to Chicago Is not redolent with many money-producing features. PROS. FINAL APPEARANCE. The professional sevens now in the city will make their second and final appearance in Winnipeg on Monday night at tho Auditorium rink. The teams will line up in the same manner as they did in Thursday night's fixture but they are promising something that will open the eyes fthe natives.

They think that they have been unduly criticized 1 nthe papers and are preparing to cut loose und show tha people a few things. Tickets for the game nre now on sale at the Auditorium and there has been a splendid demand for pasteboards assuring another good house. Reserved seats are selling at Jl each to-day. What seats are left will be placed on sale at 60c each on Monday the day of the game. Tho same officials will act.

On Tuesday morning the Houghton and Calumet sevens will play an exhibition game at Brandon. There ore prospects of games in Regina and Portage la Prairie before the players return south to their own stamping grounds. St. Patrick's Day Skating. As this is St.

Patrick's Pay, the band at the Auditorium rink will play special and appropriate music at skating, both this afternoon and evening. The ice is In great shape. BIG BOWLING TOURNEY. American Congress Opens in Louisville With Immense Attendance. Louisville, March 17.

Between eight and ten thousand bowling enthusiasts from all parts of the United States are assembled in this city at present, and for the next ten days or two weeks Louisville will practically be owned and run by the who have congregated here to attend the greatest bowling tournament in the history of this country. The American Howling congress, as this event is officially named, begins today and, owing to the nnprecedentedly large number of entries for the great bowling csntest, will probably last ubout fourteen days. Never before In the history of bowling in the United States has there been so much enthusiastic interest in a national bowling tournament as in the case of the present event. The list of prizes is far than ever nnd aggregates over $20,000. This monster prize list means that between 300 and 350 teams, composed of five men each, will take pnrt in the contests, while the doubles and singles will be In proportion.

There is scarcely a large city In the country that is not represented by at least one team. To accommodate the large number of contestants, sixteen entirely new alleys have been constructed In the Armory building, where the tournament will take place. Large as the Milwaukee tournament last year was. the present tournament surpasses it in every respect; in the number of teams as well as in the amount of prizes. Entries from points as far west as San Francisco have been 'cartels (1 IVER CURE ick Headftrfaauy tha trrraMa foot dDt to a bilious cfnto of the ystem, ucb 4 DizzinonH, Nature, Prowiiuosa.

Tho tournament begins toduy, and In honor of St. Patrick's day Irish teams are given the precedence. The hall itself formed the centre of Interest nil day. and thousands visited the scene of the tournament during the forenoon. Kven a larger attendance is expected In the afternoon and evening.

During the week of tho tournament the National Bowlers League of America will hold Its annual meeting here and the politicians among the bowlers are already pulling the wires In the interest of their candidates and cities. It Is generally believed that Charles H. F.bhets of Brooklyn will bo the next National president. It Is considered practically settled that the tournament next year will be held In Philadelphia. The Chicago bowlers do not seem to have nny aspirations concerning the presidency, but It Is understood that they are quietly laying their plans to secure tho tournament to bo held In 1908.

It Is believed that they will find many supporters of their claims. SHAMS' ANNUAL MEETING. Corinthians Will Likely Meet Cham pions in Winnipeg in August. Tho Shamrock Football club cham pions of the Manitoba League held their annual meeting In the Y. M.

The affair at New Llskeard looks worse than ever for the players the more it becomes known.

It seems that Goalkeeper Regan got the hundred dollars promised him, but there was not enough In the money box to settle with the others on the same basis. As. they were "amateurs" they had to take what they got nnd say nothing, so they were given J265 between them. By all accounts, they were lucky to draw what they did- A well known hockey man who was there at the time writes to the Globe: "After the game, when the New Llskeard people found that they hadn't enough money bet to win the cost of the players they passed the hat around, and made no bones of what It was for. I know, because I was one of the contributors, and five others that I saw also threw in a dollar apiece." Toronto Globe.

The ledger-keepers will have the assistance of Al-dridge, a professional player. It Is claimed that a goal was scored for Regina In the final with Sourls that was not allowed.

The mistake was made by the puck going through a hole in the net. This deceived the umpire, but later he noticed the hole and felt Regina should have been awarded the goal. This would have given them the game und tho. championship, as extra time would not have been necessary. A protest may be made.
