THE STANLEY COP. -• PART AI
o Sona strange, some bizarre, some
dramatic and some hilarious incidents
have punctuated the long history of the
Stanley Cup, on and off the ice. None
Inure diverting and fanciful, perhaps,
than the series of 1916, which was fought
between the champions of two leagues
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
ofmajor proportions. They built Canada's first artificial tee
rinks, three of them, and introduced hockey where it never
had been played before.
The shadows of a major war were closing over the world
in early 1914, as the Victorias, champions of the Pacific
Coast, came east and were rebuffed in their Stanley Cup
hunt by a Toronto club that included "Happy" Ilolmes, 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, Eimer Ferguson will examine some
of Canada's problems in the 1956 Olympic games.)
Your comments and suggestions forth): column will be welcomed

Wonder are names of cucumber
varieties which will be found
along with many others in the
1955 seed catalogues. Cucum-
bers may be divided into pickl-
ing and slicing varieties. This
Jest group includes the varieties
more widely known to the gen-
oral public, since they are the
ones used for the hone garden.
Names such as Straight -Eight,
A and C, Delcrow, Windermoor
Wonder or Longfellow are fa-
miliar to many of us, but other
names are new or relatively so.

Burpee Hybrid, Hybrid D,
Marketer and Marketer Long,

Other varieties such as Niagara,

too late for our climate, except
possibly in the Niagara penin-
aula. Supercrop Hybrid, Hybrid

Some varieties have been de-
veloped with tender skin and
black spines. They are referred
to as the pickling varieties and
are used by the Food Processing
Industry for making gerkins

are still available. and are pre-

The newer varieties have the
advantage of being resistant to
some troublesome diseases such
as cucumber mosaic virus or
cucumber scab. Hicrop Hybrid
developel by the Ontario Agri-
cultural College is resistant to
cucumber mosaic virus and so
are Ohio MR -17 and Ohio MR -
25. Wisconsin SMR -9 and Wis-
consin SMR -12 are resistant to
scab and to cucumber mosaic
virus. Some of ' these will be
available in the spring of 1955;
others may be in short supply
for another year.

usually classed as annuals, are

seeds are sown. Annuals may be
classed as hardy as half-hardy.

Half-hardy annuals are na-

NEW 'SUPER' TRAIN INSPIRES NEW DANCE
The speed and -luxury of the Super Continental, new train of the Canadian National Railways,
which will reduce the 2,930 -mile, run from Montreal to Vancouver by more than 14 hours and the
run from Toronto to the Pacific Coast by 12 hours, prompts Lois Smith and David Adams, leading
dancers of the National Ballet of Canada, to create a new dance honoring the train. They are shown
perfecting one of the steps of their dance in the spacious lounge car which will be used on the
Super Continental when it goes into service in April. Seen here leaving Mt. Robson, B. C„ highest
peak in the Canadian Rockies, the new train will travel through the spectacular Fraser Canyon dur-
ing daylight hours. Equipment will embody the latest developments in comfortforboth first-class

and many others. Best results
are obtained in a fine loose

will be most satisfactory in a
soil to which manure or fertili-
zer has been added, while Pop-
pies, Cosmos, Portulaca, Cen-

give excellent results in poor
soil. If' space is available an-

grown in a row in the vegetable
