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.) Your comments and suggestions for this column will be welcomed by Eimer Ferguson, c/o Calvert House, 431 Yonge St., Toronto. Calvert 6ISTILLERS LIMITED ,dh1HERSTBURG, ONTARIO Straight, Eight, Marketer, Na- tional Mincu and Windermoor 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 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. * * * Flowering plants which are usually classed as annuals, are those which produce their best bloom in the year in which the seeds are sown. Annuals may be classed as hardy as half-hardy. Hardy annuals are those will •:)* `i.

M. Scatterty, Head Gardener, Harrow, Station: Best results will - be obtained with these by sowing early indoors and transplanting to flowering quarters when frost danger is over. a o a Most varieties of annuals of- fered by Canadianseed houses will bloom if the seeds are sown outdoors in late April or early May. Quicker effect however, and a much longer period of bloom will be obtained by start - ting the following varieties in- doors in March: Ageratum, Sweet Alyssum, China Asters, Balsam, Carnation, Celosia, Co- leus, Dianthus, Dimorphotheca, Impatiens, Lobelia, Marigold, N i c o t i a n a, Pansy, Petunia, Phlox, Portulaca, Salpigiosis, Salvia, Snapdragon, . St o c k, Thunbergia, Verbena, Vinca and Zinnia. Properly classified_.va-- rieties like Salvia and Snap- dragon are tender perennials but are usually listed in Canada as annuals, Varieties which give excellent results when sown directly in the garden would include; Acroclinium, Amaranthus, Arctotis, Calend,- ula, Candytuft, Calliopsis, Cen- t a u r e a, Chrysanthemum, Clarkia, Cleome, Cosmos, Gail- lardia, .. Godetia, Gypsophila, Helianthus, Helichysum, Kochia, Larkspur, Lupin Mign- onette, Nasturtium, Nigella, Poppy, Scabiosa and Sweet Pea. * * * With such a multiplicity of types and forms it is possible to find varieties suitable for any situation in the home grounds. Some are ideal in the rock gar- den, others may be used to take over bare spots left by early spots left by early blooming plants in the perennial border, while a great many are valuable NEW 'SUPER' TRAIN INSPIRES NEW DANCE • The speed and luxury of the Super Continental, new train of the Canadian National Railways, which will x.educe the 2,930 -mile run from Montreal to Vancouver by more than 14 hours and the run from Toronto to the Pacific Coast by 124iours, prompts Lois Smith and )avid 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 .he e Super Continental when it goes into service in April.

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. How n By ROBERTCA LEE 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.
