Ralph "Cooney" Weiland of Brigh- ton has won a promotion in the Boston Bru'ins'' hockey family. An outstanding center with the Bruins for eight of the past 11 years. Wei- land now carries the title of assistant manager, according to a joint an- nouncement by •President Weston Adams and General Manager Art Ross. Whether Weiland will continue as Bruins' captain, as well as Ross' first lieutenant, will depend' on a decision of the National Hockey League's board of ;governors on a club'.s player -limit during the 1918- 39 campaign. This decision is _ ex- pected to be reached at an important meeting of the governors at Toronto. Saturday. Ross announced that Weiland "will continue with the club in a playing capacity" ,but just how much he will do probably will 'depend on whether the league ,holds to its pies ent 14 players, plus goal -tender, limit, or increases it to 115, as pro- posed 'by some clubs. Under the 115,- player 15'.player plan, Weiland probably would retain his captaincy. All of the Bruins' pre -season plans and proposals were announced and discussed last night. The ' Boston squad will report for training at Hershey, Pa., Satnrlay, 'Oct. 16. "Weiland Home At Last to Stay" (By 'Arthur Siegel in the Boston Traveler.) Bostonians are glad Cooney named Assistant Manager of Bruins. Boston is whimsical and yet criti- cal in its fancies. An athlete may be outstanding and still not appreciated. Another may 'be less illustrious and, nevertheless, dear to the hearts of Bostonians. A third may :have been great in his day, but dearer in his twilight. Such is the case of Ralph "Cooney" Weiland, who, by his ap- pointment as assistant manager of the Bruins, has come home at last to stay.' It seems only a short while ago that Weiland came out of the West. Weiland and Eddie Shore and Tiny Thompson and Dutch Gainor and a few more. They were the golden hockey men of .the West and they were the ones who brought to Bos- ton hockey prestige and a new lila and vigor to the sport. They were mercenaries, to be sure, but they played with the old .college try, as if they' were the most inspired of amateurs. Those were indeed the days of gold and glory. The Bruins, who lied ,been eking out --to pint'—a bare existence, now saw bright days ahead, the clays of plenty, for the Boston hosts jam- med the rink to cheer for their darlings. Weiland, Gainor and , Clap- per were the men who comprised that first line. On the left wing w -as Gain- or, •blon•d-'thatohed with a golden cowlick over his forehead, weaving down the ice with a body -feinting motion which the erudite Stanley Woodward termed the dying -swan movement, On the right wing was robust and. ebullient Aubrey "Dit" Clapper, almost massive in his hock- ey armor, a titan in size and a can- nonade in markmanship. And' in the center was Weiland, dwarfed by the two 6 -footers with whom be 'teamed. He was short and he was slight of build, But be was agile and wily and he s•liehered across the ice like a spider, that long -hock- ey stick deftly taking the puck into position or, on defense, slipping it away front a 'bewildered opponent. (Gainor .and .Clapper and Weiland! The DDynamibers. The high -scoring line which made hockey history. Then Gainor 'dropped 'out of the pic- ture. Olapper stayed with the Bruins. year after year, as did Weiland. But Cooney was not the crashing kind. With itis physique, those 'tactics were oat of place, for. ifinesse rather than .force was ,his forte, So the crowds' turned on Weiland. He was traded because the gallery gods, and those in' the mare expensive seats, demand- ed more than just skill. For .that matter, Weiland - was not too upset. He liked Boston :and this wife liked Boston. Yet he was too cynical about 'a professional sports (Continued. on Page Five) JUNIOiR W OrM'EN'S INSTITUTE 'The Women's Institute will hold their monthly meeting at the borne of Mfrs.

Mfrs. Adams discovered the fire when she returned to the house after pick- ing a 'bouquet of flowers in the gar- den, She had brought some flowers into the :house a short while previous, and there was no sign of 'fire when she went out to the garden for mare flowers, When she came back again she found the kitchen in flames and called to Mr. Adams who was nearby. He ran into the cellar for the fire ex- tinguisher, Which proved to be the only article saved from the doomed building. He went to the front door to attempt to save furniture from the front of the house, but the flames had spread so that when, the door was opened he was met by a sheet of fire. The house was of frame construction and burned to the ground, The cause of the fire is a mystery. There was no stove in the kitchen where the fire seemed to originate, nor did any pipes conte into the kit- chen from the wood shed or summer kitchen. There was no gasoline in the house and they have not used a coal oil or gasoline stove for some years. Mr. Adams estimates the insurance would about corer the contents and the house itself would be a total loss Adjustment of the insurance had not been completed on Wednesday and so far Mr. Adams has made no decision concerning rebuilding. They are liv- ing in temporary quarters on the farm at present. THANKOFFERING SERVICE The autumn 'thankoffering service of the W.M.S. of Northside United Church was held on Wednesday aft- ernoon.

Mis- sionaries are Christ's representatives here. There is still a work for es to do, and willing workers are so much needed. We must sec 'the actual needs of the people, whom we are working among. Foreign missions are calling far more to .come out and help in the great work. Miss M. Crich gave a well rendered sola, "I have a Savior, He's pleading in glory," accompanied on the piano by Miss A. Ferguson The offering was then received. A hearty vote of thanks, moved by Miss A. Murray, and secondsed by Mrs. T J. 'Webster, •was given those who so ably assisted in the program.
