THE sTANLEy CUP — PART Il
Some strange, some bizarre, some
dramatic and some hilarious incidents,
haVe punetpted the long history of the
Stanley Cup, on and off the ice. None
more diverting and fanciful, perhaps,
than the sales of 1916, which was fought
between the champions of two leaguea
who were warring each other to, the bitter end. The start of
the series this week recalls some of these happenings.
Those were the days of the two major leagues. The Pat-
rick brothers, Lester and Frank, in Perhaps the most, daring
promotional venture in Canadian sports history, had deserted
the east, in which they had won high acclaim as players, and -
invaded the Pacific Coast, to found a new professional league
of major properitions. They built Canada's first artificial ice
rinks, three of them, and introduced hockey whose it never
had been played befbre,
The shadows of a major war were closing over the world
in early 1914, as the Victorias, champions of the Pacific
Coast, cantle east end were rebuffed in their Stanley Cup
hunt by a Toronto club that included "Happy" Holmes, Frank
Foyston and the late Jack Walker-
The world was at war the next year, and war between
the two big hockey leagues was starting to cloud the sports,
skies. The West Coasters purloined Tommy Smith of Quebec,
who had led the eastern scorers two successive years. Under
pressure, they returned him, but the peace was an uneasy
one. And when the 1915-16 season' started; the eastern powers
suddenly realized their stockades had been invaded. For, as
Seattle lined up for its opening game, they had in goal "Hap-
py" Holmes, Ken Carpenter, Foyston and Walker of the
former champion Torontos.
The fight was on. The eastern league had agreed to sub-
ject itself to draft by the young, powerful western body. But
when pretty nearly an entire team was filched by the daring
raiders, the east rebelled.
But the dispute still prevailed in the, spring of 1916. Even
then, the magnates of each league were by no means ready
to bury the hatchet; but neither were they inclined to pasS
up the spoils of a Cup series. So, during a brief truce, the
Stanley Cup series was played in Montreal, Canadiens de-
feated the Portland Rosebuds. Then the League resumed their
warfare, though it was settled soon after by a peace agree-
ment.
(This concludes the two-article series about the. Stanley Cup.
Next week in this column, Elmer Ferguson will examine some
of Canada's problems in the 1956 Olympic games.)

their dip they had a nap in the
blazing sun and woke to find
