This led to discussion of the definition of the word amateur as agreed upon hy the Amateur Athletic Umon of Canada, the Canadian Am-cteur Hockey Association, and all its branches, which includes the Quebec end of the hockey dubs.

Justice Coderre pointed out that It was not a question merely of the petitioner being allowed to play hockey. Obviously that was not in Itself urgent at this period of the season. There nts something more impjrt.ini- There were other sports he might wish to enjoy, and It was ritrht that the question of his status should be decided, and decided quickly.

Mr. Duff said apart from the reason already submitted, ha had an objection to make to the form of the present action which would justify his application for an adjournment. He was proceeding to argue the question of procedure when the Judg pointed out that the opposition on these lines was rath-r late in vttw of the fact that the hearing commenced yesterday with the approval and co-operation of Mr. Duff's colleague. Technical objections were hardly in order now.

Mr. Duff; "I do not think that Is fair." DELAY REFUSED. Judge Coderre: "It is fair. Respondents know why they decided not to give this boy his amateur card. Having come to that daeision, the court is in duty bound to believe thev gave fair consideration to the whole case.

Therefore, it would be well tor the Senate to pro-r-eed vrtitih the measure. The Prime Minister had been consulted regarding tfie maiWer, and when the bill icudhed the Commons opportunity wouM be afforded tihoee interested make further repreaentaitio-ns. As it was concurrent legislation under agreement, tt would be tmpoastble to aucapt any amendments.

The bill oafaguarded the interests of Manitoba, and was agreeable to that province. Senator TV. B.

J. Morrison Give Evidence in Justification of Committee's Action Further hearing yesterday afternoon of die mandaimua proceedings which George Bernard Dufresne has 5n.StttuRed against the Registration Oommititeo of the Quebec Amateur Hockey Association to force It to give him hfes amateur card revealed the reasons why recognition of that player'u amateur utattts was officially rafused. Aoconding to the minutes of com- triittee meetings held on January 3 and March 3 and 5, as tesutiea to by W. R. Granger, president, and W.

J. Morrison, secretary four merrtbors against two rasolved that he was no longer an amateur Jxv-Miuse during the season or laia- a he was a "tourist oang iiom one town to another playrng hockey; because at other times he naa piayea tras-cbaO with and aigainst proies-Rional players; and because he had been paid on a certain occaaun i to come from his home village of St. Ours, to play oaseoan in Montreal. This sum was nera toy the committee to be so much in excess of Dufresnes legitimate ex-menses as to constitute an 'Snoen- tave for ham to come nere ouiu jua ibasebaLl. Mr.

Justice Coderre. who Is to de cide tare issue, confessed that tt ana not seemi reasonable that "because a boy Who was anxious to learn to play a game went from place to olace ahould by that fact oacrifice his amateur status and as to t'he reported payment of 7 to Dufresne When he came to Montreal to play In a certain ibaseibaU match Us Lordishlip said: "I do not know wlietlier you are aware of the fact, but I may atate that I know Du-freane, as I live near where ho re aides, and, therefore, am in a posi-itilon to Judge what would bo fair exipwiBes 6r t'he trips to and from Montreal. In the circumstances as tihey exist. I would not be inclined to think 87 an extravagant allowance for expenses for a Journey." MOTION FOR DELAY. When the proceedings were -re-eumed yesterday afternoon it was seen dhat N.

K. Lafiarrtme, K.C., had Joined W. Coonan In support of Dufresne's petition'; and A. Huntly Duff, K.C. appeared with bis law-partner, W.

Merrill, Ue respondent. At tlie outset, Mr. Duff moved for an adjournment in order that the case for tho respondents could be completed by written replies to the ipetiitiioner's dealamUon so that issue anight be Joined in the ordinary way. In order to Show that no hardship would be suffered by petitioner thirough delay, and that there was not the sam reason for urgency as had appeared on Tuesday, counsel submitted an affidavit testifying to the receipt by W. J.

Morrison of a telegram from PittSbung stating that William Hfiddock, jireaident of the governing body of hockey in the United States, had issued a ruling in the ease of the Shoe Trades team of Bosfton to the effect that the suspension of Stilton, player of the Shoe Trades team be continued and that George Dufrewne be barred from hockey in the United States for this season, even if granted a card by the governing body of Canada; end that other merrtbera of the Shoe Trades team were reinstated to play exbibitiion matdhea only this season. Mr. Duff stated that while this ruling was not mentioned as any reuson, of course, to influence the count's decision on the issue raised In the present case; nor was It submitted as a prelonlon that the res pondents were right in the course they had taken against Dufro-sne. nevertheless Mr, Duff maintained it proved that the extraordinary urg ency counsel for petitioner pleaded on Tuesday had now wholly disap- ipeared, as In no event would Du- fresne be allowed to play as an aireitpur in the United States this seMison. This cose was of considerable im-ipoitmoe.

Respondents repr'wented the best amateur sport in Montreal. The amateur sport of Canada, to a very largo extent, focussed on Mont real, and the present case mj-glvt n- volve the whoio status of amiteur poi In the country-. Hence it was conceiviable tihut whatever the judg tmMit ml'K'ht be, Hie Issue might not end in that court. For tilnis reason it wvus important tDiat nothing should be lacking in the record; but at the present time somcthiing was lacking. HefTPondems had not had an oppor tunty to reply in writing to the te tition and upoiamition.

GRANGER'S EVIDENCE. V. R. Granger, president of the as sociation, was called to continue his evidence of Tuesday. He corroborated the testimony of Morrison up to the committee meeting of March When asked to produce his notes of the proceedings of that meeting witness stated that walle he had them with him he was afraid the court would not be able to understand them.

He had not had time to draft the minutes from the notes. It was agreed, after some discus sion, that witness should write out the minutes, get the members of the committee together to approve them and file them at the next sitting of the court on Friday, annexing thereto the notes and a copy of the re solution in approval of the minutes. Mr. Laflamme showed a particular anxiety to get hold of what he called witness's "field notes." In reference to the information up on which the committee had consid ered Dufresne's case. Granger said that Mr.

Laflamme was wrong when questioning Morrison in -trying to make it appear that witness had act ed as prosecutor and Judge. Person ally, he had no knowledge of Du-tre-sne's casa outside the Information that was furnished. It was possible the members might have had some Information amongst themselves, and some might have reached them through the press. So that, interposed Mr. Laflam me, "you are one ot those fortunat beings who believe that what the newspa-pers say Is correct?" "Yes," witness answered unhesltat STATUS HURT BY BOXER.

In the course of further evidence, witness stated that Duiresne hac been found to have broken the am ateur rules when he had played with Vickers' team, and was suspended the season of 1918-19. He had also played against a professional fighter and thus broke the amateur rules again. Mr. Laf lamme How do you know that he played against a professional fighter?" Wiitjness "Personailly, I do not know anything about that. Infor matlon was given that he played hoc key against this boxer I cannot say When; it was back in 1919, I think." Judge Coderre "But did you not state yesterday that the resolution which the committee arrived at refusing Dufresne his card had nothing to do with the Vickers team affairs?" Witness "I did, sir." Mr.

Laflamme "Then we will drop all that." Witness was questioned In some detail dn regard to the charge that Dufresne had heen paid for playing baseball, and on this point the evi dence was to the effect that on one occasion Dufresne received a sum of J7 for playing in Montreal. Tho money was said to have been paid for his expenses to and from his home at St. Ours. Judge Coderre expressed the opinion, from hia own knowledge that the allowance could hardly be con- sldered extravagant to pay transportation and other expenses. Witness said the Information was that the sum was ald ia 1917, and the expenses were not so high then, perhaips, as today.

The return rail-v ay fare at that time on a Saturday, witness said, was $1.53, and the ordinary week-day fare was J1.93. "From what Dufresne told us him- wlf," witness added, "we thought th- sum of 7 seemed to be too mucn ton expenses, and that it could be considered as an Incentive for his coming here to play baseball." At this stage further hearing was until Friday afternoon. BIG AMERICAN NAVY Two-Power Standard. Urged by U.S. Admiral Jv'ew York, Mnirwh 8.

The case cannot end today and I will see that you have time to put in such written replies to the declaration that you wish to." Evidence thereupon proceeded. W. J. MORRISON'S TESTIMONY. W.

J. Morrison, secretary-treasurer of the Hockey Association, and member of the Registration Committee in virtue of his otflce, was the first witness. He stated that the committee was composed of six members, four elected by the association to serve with the president and witness. The association was not incorporated, but It held its governing powers from the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association. Three applications were submitted on behalf of Dufresne for his amateur card, and on January 3 last, after due consideration had been given to his cane, the minutes of the meeting stated that the "evidence showed that he had been a tourist last season and had broken the amateur rules in other ways.

Judge Coderre: "What is a tourist?" Witness explained that it was a player who went from one town to another, playing hockey. "And when was "last season?" "The hockey season of 1919-1920." Witness proceeded to state that the Dufresne matter was resumed at a meeting of the committee on March last at Dufresne's own request. He tiled affidavits in his own defence and in these it was admitted by him that he had played baseball with and against professional players, which fact, under the rules of the associa tion, witness said, was sufficient to take from him his amateur status. However, it was decided to adjourn the meeting until March In order to allow Dufresne to give any further evidence he might wish to offer in his own interest. With regard to the decision that was reached as a result of that meet ing, Morrison stated that he was not able to produce a minute of the proceedings, as on the occasion the president temporarily relieved him of his secretarial duties, and Mr.

Granger would be In a position to complete the record in that respect. The charge against Dufresne, witness add ed, was that he had broken amateur rules by playing with and against professional baseball players. That covered the years 1917, 19 IS and iai9. EVIDENCE AGAINST DUFRESNE. Mr.

Coonan: "'Did yon consider the charges proved?" Witness: Yes. Witness replied that statements were received from baseball players and in substantiation the score books were produced. In addition, the com mittee had the admissions of Dufresne that he had received money lor play ing baseball. 'What are the names of the base ball players who gave this informa "They were written down in the notes of the committee proceedings tuken by Mr. Granger.

'Did you bring these people before you? Witness replied in the negative, and went on to state that the committee did not have to rely merely upon the Information of the players, as the official score-book was convincing cor roboration of the charge. Dufresne had no opportunity to question the nformers. He admitted the truth of the information. Further testimony by Morrison was in proof of the aliiunce between the Canadian hockey associations and those in the United States in order to maintain a proper umatcur Mr. Lailummt! was anxious to know why the committee uajourned the meeting on March 3 until the 6th with out coming to a decision If the mem bers were satisfied by the evidence that Dufresne was not entitled to bis imateur card? Witness said the Intention was to give Dufresne every chance.

WHIT MEETING WAS ADJOURNED Mr. Laflainme "Every chance for You had his admission, and I suppose you are sufficiently acquaint ed with court matters to know that tho best evidence is admission. Why, then, adjourn the meeting In order to give him a chance to produce other I want to get tho 'at- nvwphore' of your meeting. What other evidence did you expect? Did you think he might withdraw his ad missions? Why did you not give Judgment at once? Witness If I remember exactly, Mr. Foster, one of the members of the executive, asked to have the matter stand over." Mr.

Laftamme "Was Dufresne told of the charges agatnst him?" Witness "Mr. Granger told him of the charge. Mr. Laflammo Mr. Granger flood In tne position of prosecutor and Judge at the same time?" Witness "Mr.

Granger waa chair man of the meeting." Mr. Laflammo "1 know that; but lie ktld the charge, and then on that charge he, with his colleagues, reach ed the conclusion that tho Informs tloti waa correct?" Witness "He aivld the Information hn.it leen laid." Mr. LafUunme "But you say that the oh urge came from 111 in. Is that light?" Wltnoss explain that the chairman Informed Dufresne of tho Information that had been laid In his case, and the meeting officially found that the information wu correct.

Farris, during the discussion in the Legislature today on Premier -Oliver's motion asking the Legislature to approve an address to Ottawa requesting an amendment to the Canadian Temperance Act to prohibit importations of liquor to British Columbia, as desired under the moderation liquor bill, criticized the Doherty measure as a worthless one which prohibition provinces had refused to take advantage of because it was wholly unworkable. Hon. W. J. Bowser, leader of the Opposition, argued that there was no need of the Legislature taking the action requested by the Premier, but that by the insertion of a section in the moderation bill to make it conform with the provisions of the Doherty Act providing that no one should be in (possession of liquor except such as was purchased in a Government store, would achieve the desired end.

Hon. Mr. Farris further claimed that the Doherty measure permitted Dan on only such importations as were brought In for purposes illeg al under provincial legislation, but as a province could only legis lation within the scope of its auth ority, and could not stop importa tions, therefore the Doherty act would not meet the situation. The attorney-general contended that Ottawa would not be justified in refusing to grant the amendment to be asked for. PROGRESS IS SHOWN Report by General Board of Grand Mark Lodge London, March 8.
