have satisfied him. It seems, too. that for a while he wasn't worth even that much. Con Strnthers, ho managed the Vancouver team In the North-Western league last season, claims the credit for discovering the champion batsman of the American league. In the spring of 1904 Btrnthers o.wned and managed the Augusta team of the South Atlantic league, and among the host of "future greats" who asked for jobs was Cobb.

Strothers tells the story this way "Cobb was a player that couldn't help bring noticed by any manager. He never was still a minute. He would run up to the bat. and If he happened to he thrown out at first he would run all the way back to the bench like a race horse.

Wolverhampton Wanderers and Swindon had a ding dong struggle at Wolverhampton, and no goals were iately on account of interference with studies, but about four years later Hackenschmidt made his professional debut. The wisdom of this course is apparent today. Modest and unassuming, the champion is a well-read and cultivated man, who speaks Russian, French, German and English with al Georges Hackenschinidt, the champion wrestler cf the world, arrived in York this week end to prepare for his match with Frank Gotch In Chicago on April I. It is Inevitable that comparisons of the two men and of thei methods will be voked by the match between Ootch and Rogers, which was decided at the Amsterdam Ottawa, however. He then went to the International the following year and stayed In Its ranks until the league broke up at the end of last season.

He has the distinction of having captained the Portage Lake seven, winners of the International championship last year, and now he finds himself once more with a champion seven.

Below Is a brief sketch of the eight players who now form the senior squad: RILEY HERN'.

Riley Hem, the goalkeer, is finishing his second year with Wanderers. He is a Stratford boy, who won his spurs in the O. H. working up through the three series. When the International league was formed Hern was secured by the Houghton club, and it was from Houghton that he came to -Montreal In December of lii06.

Menard, who played In goul for Wanderers the previous season, when they won the cup for the first time, had retired from the game. Hern filled the vacancy to the satisfaction of the club, and has this year again played in fine form. ART HOSS. Art Ross, point, has played with the Stanley cup winners of two leagues In two seasons.

Cecil Blachford, right wing and captain of the team, played his first senior game with Wanderers In 1WM, the first year that the club was in existence. He played only In one or two games that year, but has been a success, and prevented the Palace settling down. Blanthorne played a Corbett surely does not think much of the present-day heavyweight and merely opines that a meeting between Burns and Johnson will show If either of them can fight, as he considers that neither the Canadian nor the negro has done anything so far to fine game for Grimsby at center for "No.

Two Southern league teams were In opposition at Southampton, and the home team gave Bristol Rover the show his ability In the ring. Burns Is evidently no favorite with the man who beat John Sullivan, although icy cup seven. Hod Stuart rated Blachford ag the best wing player in the league last season, and his form doubtful advantage wrestling.

It Is recog nized, however, that In quickness and In generalship he in at least the equal of the foreigner. is easily the most finished player on the forward line. He is a speedy, aggressive and a beautiful stick-handler. ERNIE JOHNSTON.

Johnston, at left wing, is chiefly remarkable for his great speed. He Is a wanderful skater and does a tremendous amount of work in a game. Where he fails Is In stick-handling, his shooting being weak, and he is not often effective when he does work through a defence. His long reach 1908. Ross, though he came from Brandon to Join Wanderers last December, as is well known.

In the west Ross played a couple of seasons, with Brandon, developing Into one of the best players In the Manitoba league. He was corralled by Kenora to come east with them and help to take the trophy back. Ross' work In the series with Wanderers here was a revelation to the many who had not seen him for a couple of years.

This year he stands out as the big man. both physically and as a player, on the champion team, filling years. "Lo you ever have any inclination to re-enter the ring," he was asked. "No, but I tell you what I am going; to do next summer. I Intend going into active training for about two months and then I will get some clever little boxer like Jack O'Brien down to my place and have a regular set-to, just to see whether I have lost any of my speed."
