THE �
�t�' t SPORT S COLUMN
This column wouldn't think of becoming
involved in any argwnents concerning the
yq Kt birth -place of hockey, That's a• topic too
n<�s controversial for our placid existence.
But one "first," and an important one,
r in the history of hockey in this Dominion,
we must hand to Sault Ste. Marie. It was
• the first Canadian city to boast a profession-
al hockey team. For long before the old National Hockey
Association was organized, preceding the present National
League, the Soo was a member of the Professional Internation-
al League, formed in 1904. The two Soos, Portage Lake and
Calumet in Michigan, along with Pittsburg, constituted the
first line-up of this League, later joined by the Houghton,
Michigan Club,
Those were the days of real sport in hockey. The Ca'had-
!an Soo club wasformed by four sportsmen of the city, of
whom John P. Mooney and George S. Cowie are still living.
These four sportsmen put up $250 each, ran the club for two
years. Players' salaries were then from $20 to $35, per week,
with the added inducement that sweaters, sticks and skates
were free. And some names that are legendary in Canada's
hockey aimals today dotted the rosters of those clubs—names
such as "Cyclone" Taylor, Newsy Lalonde, Jack Laviolette,
Didier Pitre, Hod Stuart, a hockey immortal who was manag-
er and player for Pittsburg, Jimmy Gardner, Con Corbeau, and
a dozen more,
The Canadian Soo team on one occasion was forced to
break through the salary limit of $35. The club had suffered
a great many injuries, and as a daring replacement, it was
decided to secure Newsy Lalonde. Newsy came high. He
asked for $50 per week for four, weeks and, sportingly, the
club agreed to pay. The train bearing the great Lalonde ar-
rived at 8 o'clock the night of the big game, three hours late.
Lalonde stepped off, dressed to play and even wearing his
skates. He played incognito, scored three goals, and not until
the next day did the identity of this wizard of the ice become
known.
Sault Ste. Marie was just a small town in those days. It
had not yet amalgamated with Steelton and the combined
population did not exceed 9,000. But interest in hockey ran
high, as it still does in this sporting centre, which regularly
sends players to the National League, In later days it level-
' oiled the great Sault Greyhounds that have won their s1mrc
of amateur championships... The spirit that sponsored a prof-
essional team, whose roster included many of the greats of
hockey in a league of ambitions far beyond normal expectat-
ions, still carries on around the Sault, producing great hockey,
fine players and enthusiastic crowds... These crowds. are more
orderly, no doubt, than those who staged the famous post -game
mob battles of the turn of the century, but just as keen.
Your comments and suggestions forsthh column will be welcomed
