(Special.) fc-Tom Phillips, the famous Kenora hockey player, has arrived to play with Ihe Ottawa team. Phillips attended fcts first practice at the Arena Saturday evening, and made a spendld jhowlng, considering that It was hla Initial workout this season. When the train rumbled Into the Union Depot from the West on Saturday afternoon, two figures, bundled in fura ind carrying heavy grips, were the centre of much attention. They were Mr. P.

Dickson, "The Sherlock Holmes of the hockey world," and Thomas M. Phillips, of Kenora. About 0 club friends were on hand to welcome them. Mr, Dickson said that he had not had a great deal of trouble In signing Phillips. "I did not think any people in the East would know where I had gone until Phillips had attached his name to our contract," he said.

"We thought it best to keep our arrangement a secret, for Wanderers and other clubs were hot after him. 1 arrived at Kenora a week ego today, and Immediately set out to find Phillips. I knew Ton), and as soon as I found him we got down to business. I made him our terms at once, and he said he would consider them. I went to Winnipeg, but kept In touch with Phillips all the' time.

The Kenora people knew what was going on, and were sorry at the thought of losing their favorite. It was not until Monday that Phillips-signed with us. He signed the contract and we bound him over on Monday, and then I wired the club that Phillips would play with us." "How -about the Wanderer charge that the Otta was induced Phillips to break a contract?" "Tom tells me that the Wanderer contract was not satisfactory. It did not provide for a season's engagement and the club could have let him out with two "weeks' notice." Phillips states himself that. Ottawa had first call on his services.

He communicated with the local club first, and it was the first to come up with the figure that satisfied him. Passing through North Bay early Saturday morning, Messrs. Dickson end Phillips ran across the Wanderers, who were on their way West, Art. Ross, Pud Glass and Ernie Johnston had been at North, JBay for a couple of days, and were jftine. there by the other members of.

ther team. Phillips was standing on the platform When Wanderers started out on their private ear. Paul Lefebvre and Riley Jlearn were on the rear end of the coach, and Phillips was immediately liailed: "Hello, shouted Lefebvre, "turn round-and come West with us." The other members of-the team waved at Phillips, and at the station Jtoss, Johnston and Glass signalled him. Phillips played left wing at Saturday nights practice, and showed sensational going by the whole-defence several times- with, apparent CHARLIE ROSS IN OTTAWA Ottawa, December 21, Charlie Ross, the Ottawa hockeylst, who has been out practising with the Montreal Wanderers, came to Ottawa yesterday to spend Christmas at his home here. Ross has been requested to turn out with the Victorias, and' may be with the Federal League champions at tonight's practice at' the Arena.

Charlie has not signed with either Wanderers or as yet, and Bays that he may not play at Montreal after all. He is attending McGIll University, ana finds that cannot devote as much time as is necessary to hockey. Rofs has had offers from several clubs, -and turned down three or four from Pittsburg. Charlie, talking to a Citizen repre-fentative, says that ihe Wanderer and Victoria Clubs will both be strong. Billy Gilmour, he states.

Is playing a remarkably good game with the Victorias, and will figure at right wing on the maroon and white Rosa thinks the Victorias will make all the "teams travel their fastest, but picks Ottawa to win out. Rosa played great hockey at the clo3i of last season, and will be a source of strength to the Vies if he decided to Join them. His home Is in Ottawa, so he Is perfectly eligible to play against Renfrew. MAPLE LEAF CLUB EXCLUDED. JIARRY SMITH AND JOE HALL EXPELLED FROM THE LEAGUE.

Winnipeg, December 22. (Special) The Manitoba Hockey League sat all Saturday afternoon and night and Sunday afternoon and night discussing affairs, of momentous importance to hockey- In Canada. Selkirk Mac-donald, of Portage la Prairie, president of the league, wa in the chair, end for hours the dlRCusslon went on circling around the boisterous brutality of last Thursday's shocking exhibition. Late tonight It was proposed end seconded by the representatives of Kenora and Btrathcona Clubs that the Maple Leaf Club be excluded 4un the league generally as a club, and individually two of its members were expelled for rough-house play, Harry Smith and Joe Hall. This, of course, will not affect the exhibition game between the Maple Leafs and Wanderers tomorrow night.

Ttie grounds stated for expeiling the club itself were for brutal play, and that the men behind the club were not working in the best interests of pure uport in the West, their instructions tending to corrupt the players from a rportsmanlike view of the objects of the game. The Wanderers are expected to reach Winnipeg tomorrow about noon, and their game with the Maple Leafa 'will take place at the Arena Rink, mmmi mm' If Urn in mm 72-50 Bp 1-50 $5.00 up up 75 OO up 73 50 up 75 00 up 75 00 up 73-00 up Onr lnre Both 0 5, 00 20 against A.

i Moncton, N.B., pecembef 22. (Spe- i cial.) There is news of a New I Brunswick Government shuffle In Kent before "the elections, the principal fea-" ture of which Is likely to be the somewhat epectacular exit of Hon. James Barnes from the Cabinet, from the Government ticket, and from the Legislature, The scheme afoot now is to have D. Carter, of Richl- bucto, succeed Mr. Barnes on the ticket, but Mr, Carter, of course, would not aspire to Cabinet honors, and-the humble Cabinet position may be offered to D.

J. Purdy, of St. John, who Is said to be reluctant to run unless he can face the constituency aa i an "Honorable." There are, of course, many difficulties. They begin with Mr. Carter.

He does not want to run unless he can hold his present federal job as Indian qommissioner. The law Is clear on this point. He could not -hold It. But in case of defeat, which would be reasonably certain, he might be reappointed, or better, a more lucrative office might be provid- I ed for him. Falling some arrangement along these lines, the plan, so far as Mr, Carter goes, Is not "likely to go through.

Promises are not regarded with favor in these matters by people concerned In Kent. They "want it in writing." Mr. Barnes, it la thought, toUI be appointed commissioner of ImmigraW tion, "a life Job at $2,000." as one of his acquaintances put it. Presumably this would mean that he would become a "farmer delegate" to catch settlers in England. Meanwhile a candidate hunt in Kent by the Government la in progress.
