The Calgery team owe a Jot to the phenomenal work of Chuck Clarke, thelr ttle goal. tender, He saved shot after shot and had it not deen for hile stick work the score would have been mote than doubled. The Victorias have a lead of eleven goals now and will go into the next game on Thursday with a couple of subs taking the place of the regulars. Neither team scored for the first 18 minutes, although the local team had by far the best of play. TABER RECEIVED GOOD ARGUMENT FROM LOCAL SEVEN WON THE GAME BY 18 TO 4 IN GOOD FAST HOTLY CONTEST: ED GAME. SCORE POOR EVIDENCE GAME WAS FAR BETTER THAN SCORE WOULD INDICATE VISITORS TEAM WORK GOOD. Medicine Hat hockey fans were treated to the nearest thing to a real hockey game last night as has been witnessed inthis city this season when Taber, erstwhile seekers of Al- Yan Cup-honors,-defeated a team of Tocal players by a score of 18 to 4. fair evidence of the way in which the game ent, for considering the fact that the local aggregation was hurriedly -got together on Monday. never played together before, and Al-, so that some of the players have play- ter, they put up a wonderfully, stren uous opposition, cess, and in last night's game they, played like a regular -machine. How- ever, alt thelr work is team work, not a-player trying to-get away with In- the locals showed up 80 well. Medi- cine Hat had a few players on the team Who are and aided by the small rink they succeeded in breaking up or at least seriously crippling the team work of the visitors, On the other band the individuat work of the locals showed up very brilllantly at times, especially so was this when Hiennfe went from the Hat goal right through them and shot a goal. Wher tho fans saw the-exhibition of the locals Inet night one of the first questions they asked was: Why was this city out of Hockey this winter? The question was well put, for in the game last night the players showed that this city has certainly the mecu- leus for a great hockey team. Hiennfe at cover, Routledge centre, and McWilliams as rover, were the stars of the locals, Hiennie was at his beat and though the visitors laid for him at every stage of the same he got away sufficiently well to show the fans that the visitors had not a man on thelr team who could really tiold a card with him when it came to Alberta's Representatives for Allan up Strenuous Opposition Score a Single Tally Next Game Thursday.

This is no Teflection om Leth bridge, instead used in an argument- ative way, if Lethbridge cannot. support ona 1,800 limit club, ean Bassano? Will a four team league of the above calibre prove a success? Will it be of sufficiently lasting quality to hold the fans. Edmonton and Calgary today Lave at their beck and call the neculeus of a ball cluB on an 1,300 salary lim- it. Lethbridge and Bassano have no players. Bassano is sald to have manager already. Immediately the two new clubs start to pick up a team to clause one and the same to th last) they will have to load up their pay/suggestion of clause three, as Ed- sheet with bunch of anywhere fromjmonton would no more support two teams than would Calgary. Clause four looks good but the old question of Bassano sticking. would arise. In dealing with this matter the in- tention fs not to knock, wield the hammer against baseball, Bassano, Calgary or anyone for that matter. but if the West s to have baseball that will be of a lasting brand, that will give the,fans confidence In it, become a fixture, go down on th records of the National Commission as a stone wall league, why some solution, to the situation that will be permanent has got to be arrived at. All the above solutions lt; offered, might, in there is no doubt but what they Would give a couple of years Wall, and then the gam would be thrown back to the dame position that it is invat the present time, no ons would: be any farther ahead: fin- auclally, the franchises of an unsound league would not be worth any more ton and one in Bassano. Will Calgary support two teams permanently? Montreal can t sup- port one, Detroit can't. support, one, Winnipeg can't support- one. For-how long will Bassano boosters continue to dip down tn their pocket to donate a big share of their wad to pay for a ball team, a heavily losing proposi- tion. Mr. Gray of the Edmonton team evidently recognizes this fact, at least he is credited with the statement that if Bassano s In the league he will or At Teast Edmonton will not be i h, and he s baseball in Edmonton. To suggestion two, the last refer- nce to clause on might *gain - be miade. i To clause three, the first reference ty they will do Something that every ball team manager has tried for years with more. or less failure. Their sal- ary will be a total of 1,800 a month for the team, While they are picking thelr team they have to be playing with Edmonton and Calgary. Both these towns hay players whom they know. they have the money and yet they will carry few more than half the pay sheet that the smaller town will, It 18 not hard to predict where this Will lead these smaller towns to if Giey: Wish to keep in the game and near the top of the ladder and this they will have to do if they want to keep the few fans they will have c ming to the games, It might be safe to yenture the suggestion, or rather safe without . incutring too much displeasure to venture to: pre- ict that before the teams have to cut down to 12 or 15 players what ever they decide upon, and whic will lik- ely be about June 16, that Bassano and Lethbridge if they keep their team in the running at all will be paying- -salaryof at least 3,000 a month.
