MacDonald was a driving force all night, working smoothly on a line with Ted Williams and "Sugar" Meriam. ' It was Meriam who got the fourth counter for Goderich, Forest opened the attack at the three-quarter mark of the first frame, when Hick converted a pass from Randall and flipped it into the Goderich cage. But from there on, Goalie Jerry Hesse barred the door on the Lakesides. Hesse was called upon to make many difficult saves and drew the applause of the fans many times for his cool net minding. MacDonald got two of his goals in the second frame to put the locals out in front. Meriam got his early in the final stanza and Mac- Donald blinked the light for the last goal midway through the third period. Referees kept good control over the game to stave off any rough stuff, although they had to call 16 penalties,, 10 of them in the final frame. Forest Goalie Defoe was penaliz- ed twice in the last period for tangl- ing with Goderich players. Forest aparor collected 11 -of the trips to the- sin bin, while Goderich players ac- counted for five.

Another f':s•"y s gruelling • struggle for possession of hockey's most coveted award, the Stanley. Cup, is in y' its final torrid stages this week. This marks the final yardage along a multi-million, dollar trail --for a trophy that cost something Tess than $50, and was givein, originally, for competition. among amateur hockey clubs. ,It was back in the far -from -gay Nineties that Lord Stanley, then Governor General of Canada, donated the sum of ten pounds sterling for the purchase of the trophy to bear his name. Lord Stanley was rather an indifferent hockey fan. But during his tenure of office another distinguished Englishman, Lord Kilcoursie, was a visitor at Government House, Ottawa, and through his efforts the trophy was secured. Lord Kilcoursie was fascinated by the hockey of the"period, so much so that he asked to • be tutored in what he described as "ieeZ athletics." He proved an., apt pupil and became a player on the Rebels l•I•ockey Club, then a member, of the Ontario Hockey Association. Lord Kilcoursie then learned that the teams played merely for the glory of winning, with no tangible recognition given the victors. He sought out his friend Lord Stanley, and prevailed • upon him to make some fitting recognition, preferably one that would perpetuate the memory of Lord Stanley. Upon receiving the ten pounds Lord Kilcoursie- had a trophy fashioned to be known " as the Stanley Cup and presented •annu a,,a ymb ii.i of Can- adian hockey supremacy. The Cup was awarded as a challenge trophy for' amateur .-hectrey;_.fer -the-Ver y -g d"i'elgoirl tl""Iia' '""t1iiet tii""tlii'-"dAYS' bf-.:._. natural ice; smalltrhilk,s, many of them open -air -professional -hockey was not evten thought of. There was nothing in the deed of the gift 'stipulating that amateurs only should play for the• trophy, "and gredually''tbe Cup passed into the hands of the professional Clubs. It was held by the eastern professional champions until the Patrick brothers, Lester and Frank, daringly organized the Pacific Coast League, challenged "far, the -trophy, and frequently won it. When the Coast League Collapsed in the mid -20's, the trophy remained with the National League, fulfilling its destiny as symbolic of hockey supremacy. Many millions of dollars have since been invested in great, artificial 'ice.'palaces, more millions in salaries, training and travelling expenses, ':coaches, managers, farm circuits, upke&p of the great rinks, maintenance of hockey `headquarters, reirn- bursemont of referees and other officials. •"A million dollar trail" is puttingit mildly. Competition for ® W. trophy, and of course -for the Om monetary; awards that are coupled with it, have run into the billion -dollar mark, beyond doubt.
