r Some strange, some bizarre, some
dramatic and some hilarious incidents
have punctuated the long history of the
Stanley Cup, . on and off the ice. None
more 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
of major proportions. They built Canada's first artificial ice
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 Victories, champions of the Pacific
Coast, came east and 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.)

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
last • group includes the varieties
more widely known to the gen-
eral public, since they are the
ones used for the home 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,
Illarketer and Marketer Long,
are recommended varieties
which are early and give a good
yield of attractive green fruits.
Other varieties such as Niagara,
Santee and Colonial are much
too late for our climate, except
possibly in the Niagara penin-
sula. Supercrop Hybrid, Hybrid
C, Sensation Hybrid and Sunny -
brook had no value over varie-
ties such as Marketer or Bur -
pee Hybrid when tested at the
Division of Horticulture, Cen-
tral Experimental Farm, Ot-
tawa.

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 gerleins
and other types of pickled cu-
cumbers. Old standard varieties
are still available and are pre-
ferred by. many. They are Paris
Pickling, Nat i o h a 1 Pickling,
Heinz Pickling and Mincu.

The newer varieties have the
advantage of being resistant to
some troublesome diseases such
as cucumber mosaic virus or
cucumber scab. Hicrop Hybrid

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

Half-hardy annuals are na-

ours, says J. M. Scatterty, Head

results will - be obtained with
these by sowing early indoors
and transplanting to flowering

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

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-

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

grown in a row in the vegetable

Q. How can I wash woollen
blankets so that they will keep
soft?
A. Do not soak unless very
soiled, and then for a short time
only, in moderately warm suds
made with dissolved white soap.
A washing machine will cleanse
woolens with the least wear and
tear. Wash and rinse in several
waters, the first soapy and the
others clear, and all the same
temperature. To preserve the
softness add a tablespoonful of
glycerine to every two gallons
of water used for the final rins-
ing.
Q. How can I keep the bris-
tles of the toothbrush from com-
ing out .so readily?
A. They will not come out if
soaked in cold water, to which
a little salt has been added.
Soak for about 24 hours.
Q. How can I remove old
putty from windows?
A. An aid in removing a
pane in the window is to pass
a recthrot poker slowly over the
putty.
Q. flow can I remove candle
