t Phis is the first oj' two articles con-
cerning the life and hockey works of one
of hockey's greatest figures, the famous
veteran Captain James T, Sutherland,
founder of the 1:locicey Hall of Facne at
Kingston, hockey's Grand Old Man.
Great oaks, says an old adage, from little
acorns grow, and this might aptly be applied to the develop-
ment•of hockey from the embryo stage to its present position
among the most attractive sports in the world. The tiny seed
was planted in Kingston a long time ago and just as the tree
that grew was bearing its first fruit, a stalwart Kingston
athlete and sportsman, Ja1nes T. Sutherland, became its first
ambassador of goodwill, and, being a natural salesman he
spread its gospel far and wide. If hockey's Grand Old . Man
didn't plant the original seed, he certainly aided in the growth
to mighty proportions.
Away back in 1888 Captain Jim- was one of the shining
stars in behalf of the Athletics, who operated in the Kingston
League on an out -door rink a stone's throw from the house hi
which Mr. Sutherland has resided these many years.
It has been claimed that the Kingston League of 64 years
ago was the first in history, but, be that as it may, it is factual
that there was such a League, and that it was composed of
Queen's University, the Athletics, Royal Military College and
the Kingstons. Queen's won the championship when in the
final game they defeated Athletics by 3 to 0: And defencellian
Jim Sutherland did a bit of robust checking in a lost cause.
Mr. Sutherland, founder 'of the International Hockey Hall
of Fame, past president of the Canadian and Ontario Hockey
Associations and Life Member of both organizations, is now in
his 83rd year, but still as devoted to the hockey cause as when
he skated with the stars in 1888. He has lived to see that seed
grow into the "Spreading Hockey Tree" that is now green In
most countries of the world.
Mr. Sutherland recently told this column: "In what was
the first organized league of which we have any authentic
record, we played on an open rink with side -boards rising hot
more than 30 inches above the ice surface. That old Dix Rmk
presented many hazards both to the players and spectators.
"Only after the storms came and the snow was piled high
around the low fences, were the spectators able to view pro-
ceedings from lofty heights and without being endangered.
Among the notables who saw us in spirited competition were
Principal Grant of Queen's University; Rev. Mr. Carson and
many of Kingston's most prominent residents.
"Following that outdoor venture Queen's University erect-
ed an adequate indoor arena which, was made to order for
ni
skating and hockey and met with popular approval. Carnivals
and other attractions were staged at regular intervals, and
drew large and enthusiastic crowds. This was one of Canada's
first indoor rinks."
The second of this series on the founder of the Hockey
Hall of Fame appears next week.

About the only outstanding
Feature of the hockey season, so
Saar, seems to be the way that not
tinily the fans, but the sports
writers as well, are frying the
:Moguls over too much hooking,
tripping and totally unnecessary
roughness. A certain proportion
of the customers -the ones who
know something about the game
-have long been vocal in this re-
gard; but it is something new for
the sports scribes and sports-
casters, who generally treated
the game, especially in its upper
reaches, with as great reverence
as Hindus observe toward a Holy
• Cow. Just why they have re-
cently summoned the nerve to
actually criticize the sacred sport
we cannot say, although we have
our suspicions.
As to the cure for this hook-
ing, tripping, etc., in our opinion
it is a very simple matter. So
;Ample, some think, as to be al -
mast idiotic. What we would do
is pass a rule cutting from nine
inches to a foot from tO length
allowable in a hockey stick. Do
that, and you would see some
seal stick -handling, clever pass-
ing plays and --• to sum it up
briefly, REAL HOCKEY.
* * *
With that off our reputed mind,
let's turn to a real Champion Of
Champions -one who doesn't get
too much publicity on this side
of the water but, nevertheless, a
man who, in his own line, de-
serves to be rated along with
Willie Hoppe in billiards, Ty Cobb
and Babe Ruth in baseball, and
any other of the sporting greats
you care to mention. We refer
to Mr. Joe Davis, master of all
he surveys in the realm of snook-
er pool. Leaning crutch -like on
an article by Sydney Skilton,
English correspondent of The
Christian Science Monitor, we'll
give you a fill-in on the doughty
Joseph.

This maestro of the cue from
Chesterfield reigned as world
champion from 1927 to 1946 dur-
ing which time he .was never
beaten. Then he resigned the title
to give younger players a chance.
Today he is performing with
greater skill than at any time he
was official world champion. And
almost 'any day now up on the
scoreboard is likely to go his
500th three -figure break.

The magnitude of that accent-
plishment will be appreciated all
the more when it is explained
that no other exponent of this
extremely popular game that has
ousted billiards from the tables
has anywhere near' approached
that total. Ner is there anybody
on the horizon that • looks like
doing so. The closest tally in any
part of the world to' Joe's 498
are the 144 by his younger brother
Fred who succeeded to the world
title and the 143 by Londoner
Sidney Smith.

Joe; who has been a profes-
sional cuelst for more than 30
years, has the advantage of more ;
than a decade over his younger.
and closest rivals. But if they are
to get on terms with the grand
old master they will have to
treble their rate of century scor-:.
ing. And even so Old Joe, 52 years
of • age on April 15, is likely to
make their, target a notch more
inaccessible proposition before he
finally packs away the favorite
cue he purchased more than a
quarter of a century ago for a
mere seven shillings and sixpence.
*
•
That purchase was made at a
second-hand store on the advice
of his father who althof.gh no
billiards player himself could see
that young Joe was really set on
the game. Joe was a member of
the local church institute which
boasted a billiards table. Every
spare minute he had was devoted
to the study on it of mathema-
tical exactitude in the applica-
tion of dynamics. He was never
satisfied with less than six hours
practice a day and his first suc-
cessful venture into the profes-
sional game was to win the na-
tional junior championship.
* !a 9
At the age of 2.0 years he went
to London for the senior title.
He came up against the reiging
champion, Tom Newman, and
went home after a very severe
chastening. After four more years
of practice, practice and more
practice, Joe was back again in
the final of the senior champion-
ship. Again he received a lesson
from Newman. But it was a les-
son well learned because in 1927
the deficit against the big -chinned
Londoner was reduced to only
1,200 points. The following year
Davis had his just reward and
became champion. He retained the
title until defeated by the Austra-
lian, Walter Lindrum, in 1933..

Meantime snooker, or Snooker's
pool to give it its full and proper
name, was gaining rapidly in fa-
vor. It was said originally to have
• been invented by British Army
officers stationed in. India.
A Devonshire 'Regiment, sta-
tioned in Juppulpore is given the
credit for it, In 1875 members of
the mess tried the addition of
extra colored balls on the table
as a variation from the normal
three -ball billiards game that
helped pass the rainy season.
Young cadets from Woolwich
Academy at that time were can-
ed "Snookers" and as one of the
subalterns hissed an easy pot
somebody called out "You're a
regular snooker." Thus was born
Snooker's pool."

O.K. SO FAR
Dr:Pullman, the socialite den-
tist, was happily yanking teeth
in -'his office on the seventeenth
floor of a Madison Avenue sky-
scraper with his comely nurse,
Ruth Gordon, in attendance, when
a • sharp cry gave them a start.
Rushing to the window, they
saw a good friend who had an
office some floors above them go
hurtling past.
A couple .of moments later, an-
other friend burst into the office.
"Did you hear about Johnny
Jones?" he gasped. "He jumped
or fell thirty. floors. He's lying
down there on Madison. Avenue,
and he looks. terrible." "I can't

ROMANCE!
A sentimental woman was
• married to an unromantic pian.
One evening she said to him
•with a sigh: "Would you mourn
for me if I were to die?"
"Oh, yes," he mumbled, "of
course I would."
"And would you visit the ceme-
tery often?"
"Certainly," he said, with a
little more animation. "I pass it
on the way to the tavern, any-
how." -
