E Calvert SPORTS COLUMN 4 56seet 9e490,400 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.)

Excellent long last- ing mass effects may be obtain- ed by planting almost any va- riety of petunia, medium height Snapdragon, French Marigolds and many others. Best results are obtained in a fine loose loam. Varieties such as Asters, Dahlias, Zinnia and Marioglds will be most satisfactory in a soil to which manure or fertili- zer has been added, while Pop- pies, Cosmos, Portulaca, ,Cen- taura, Alyssum and Godetia will give excellent results in poor soil. If space is available an- nuals for cut flowers should be grown in a row in the vegetable garden. Among the best vari- eties for this would be 'Snap- dragon, Aster, Calendula, • An- nual Chrysanthemum, Gail- lardia, Baby's Breath, Sweet Pea, Salpiglossis and Zinnia. INITIALLED APPLES Peter Butchorn, of Adelaide, has given his baek-yard fruit .selling business a tremendous fillip by growing apples with initials on them. He first thought of the idea when he and a girl friend went swimming one hot day. After their dip they had a nap in the blazing sun and woke to find themselves well acid truly burn-, ed. On the girl's neck, however, was a clear white cross where her skill had been shielded by a crucifix she' had been wearing. This*Ventually set Elitshorn to' cutting out stencils in the form. of initials and kangerods which he attached to the apples on his frees, The ripening fruit turned red — all except the' pada, CoVered by the design which stayed green.
