Victoria Hall by Mayor and Town Representatives The bowling season in Westmount will be formally opened this evening at Vie toria Hall by Mayor Knox on the two new alleys that have just been completed, and equipped with every form of modern apparatus dear to the heart of the bowler.In addition to these alleys there are new pool and billiard rooms, the latter being supplied with four large tables of the latest design, and both fitted up in the most approved style.The citizens of Westmount have always been interested in the promotion of clean sport, and it is with that in view that the town had granted the use of a portion of the hall to the West- mount Amateur Athletic Association.Sc far as hockey is concerned, tbe W.A.A.A.proposes to have its players strictly amateur, and cre co-operating with McGill to further promote the amateur spirit in athletics.The intermediate und junior teams have made arrangements to hold practices on the Vie- toria Rink, and it is rumored that they will have some surprises in their ime- ups.As already stated, however, thoy will be of purely amateur status.The general committee of the associa tion is working hard on the association club house and grounds at Notre Dame de Grace, and pending uoforeseen hap- pevings everything is expected to be m readiness rvarly next season.Under the able coaching of Mr.C.B.Powter, the various basket ball teams are constantly at practice and the senior team hopes to land the city and district championship.The gymnasium at Vie- toria Hall is being further equipped, and new apparatug secured as its necessity arises.It is expected that many of West- mount\u2019s residents will be on hand tonight tQ see the opening of the svas~n and encourage the young men in tbeir various sports.Much of the success attending the installation of these alleys is duc to Mr.W.Muir Edwards, president of the club.and the Messrs.Andrews.CHURCH HOCKEY LEAGUE.An Effort on foot to Establish Friendly Rivaly ;Among Chuches 1 The city churches have entered with zest into nearly every form of athlatics, and the suggestion now comes from Taylor Church that a hockey league should be organized among the cLurches for tbe cominz scaso»m- The object sought in the formation of such a league is to spread abroad a love for ell athletics, and particularly this form of winter sport.It is thought that apart from the great physical benefits that would accrue from such a league, the representatives of the various churches may become more intimately acquainted, aud au interdenomitational, rather Lbat a denomi- Dational, spirit, will be inculcated.Those churches wishing to be more particularly informed as to the date of the first meeting should comnuvicate with Mr.G.H.Watson, 571 Esplanade avenue, who will be pleased to furnish all information required.HOCKEY AT KINGSTON Kingston Ont., Dec.11.\u2014The Junior City Hockey League has been formed.Four teams enter, 'A\u2019 and \u2018B,\u2019 St.George's, Re- glopolis and Collegiate Institute.Th election of officers resulted:-Hon.presidents, the HMoë Wm.Harty, H, W.Richardson, W.Nickle, E.J.B.Pense and W.W.Gibson; president, the Rev.Canon Starr: vice-presidents, Mr ll.Quinn, Regiopoli College, and Mr.E.Carter, Colleglate Institute; secretary, Mr.Farrell Dyde; treasurer, Mr.F.Twigg.E.C.H.A.ACTION APPROVED \u2018Lovers of athletics im their truest and best form wil have ncthing but words of commendation,\u201d says a Winni- exchange, \u2018for the action of the Eastern Canada Hockey Leazae decid: ing that amateurs and professionals shall be alowed to compete with and against each other without endangering th status of those who have no desire to accept monéy for playing games 1% is true that there are few hockey, Jacrosse or football players in Canada (wert!: looking at) who are mot paid for their services, but, nevertheless, it would b- unfair to those few to bar them from athletics smply because others set the coin.It was als a sensible thing to declare that the men who were profvs- sionai should be openly declared so, should no?be permitted to masquerade as amateurs or to delude the public.In years past players got credit for doing a good turn for their town or city.when, as a matter of fact, they had nothing coming to them.In future, in hockey, at least.it is to be expected that when a man is a professional he will be known as one, and will only get credit to the extent to which he earns the money that is paid him.\u2019 SIX DAYS\u2019 RACE.New York.Dec, 12\u2014\"Try as they will, Walthour and Bedell seem unable to make up the lap they are behind the other twelve teams that remain dn the bicycle race at Madison Square (Garden.They are till confident of gaining the distance, however .At 7 o'clock to-day the twelve leading teams had scored 1,019 miles and 7 laps, and Walthour and Bedell one lap less.This is nearly 74 miles behind the record of 1.793 miles and 1 lap, made by Miller and Wallex¥n 1899.LESTER PATRICK ILL.Expects, However, to Get Into Shape for First Game a Leater Patrick, the great rover of the Stanley Cup holders, contracted a heavy cold during the first practice, and has since been unable to appear with his team mates on the ice, When seen vesterday by a \u201cWitness reporter he expressed himself as not feel ing too well but was confident that le could round into trim before the first game would be played.Patrick is one of those who can get into condition at short notice so that his local admirers may rest assured that 11 sible at all pe will tigure in the opening game played by his team.lt will be regretted.however.that he should be thus handicapped at the beginning ot the scason's work.OTTAWA TEAM'S PRACTICE Ottawa, Dec.11.\u2014To-night's practice could scarcely be

was \u2018here, too, but he did not practice.Just why the Smitha, Pulford, Moor: and Magee were absent is not quite clear.No one supposed to Le in a vosi- tion to speak professed to know anycning about the matter.and the players them selves wire quite mum on the subjec.There were plenty ot stories going, how- «ver.chief among them being that the probable composition of the team did not suit

to 0 in the opening match of the Inte.- national Hockey League.Both teams did good individual work, but combination playing was lacking.Calumet scored both goals in the first halt.After eight minutes of playing, Morrizon took the puck from Charlton in front of ihe \u2018Su0\u201d net and shot a goal.Two minutes later Decarie got the puck on a pass from Bellefuille and \u201ccored.Play continued for the remainder of the first half quite even, though most on Soo\u2019 ice.Nichol son made a couple of brilliant stops at the net.In the second half the \u2018Soo\u2019 played mostly on the

therc was no waste or disorder anywHere, though it was evident to his practiced eye that it must be a hard sight, to make a fiving here.There did not seem: to be one unnecessary thing; it was poverty naked and unashamed, inside the house and out.\u2018You must work hard,\u2019 he said with unwilling admiration, \u2018it you and one man keep the place like this.\u2019 .\u201cGrant is halt-a-dozen men,\u2019 she replied.There is nothing he cannot do.He is stableman, \u2018carpenter, cook,\u201d ploughrmarr\u2014 everything by turns.\u201d Her tone was almost enthuslastic.\u2019 \u2018It must be a bard life for yon.\u2018 She shrugged her shoulders.\u2018I have got used to it.Mercifully one gets nsed to anything in time.At first, she threw up her head as though something choked her, \u2018at first I thought I should never be able to endure it.You sev, we came up just before the winter, when there wasn't enough to do.That was 8 mistake for hum and for me.\u2019 \u2018But your husband doesn't look fit to do much surely it was a mistake to come keze at all in his condition?I beg your pardon,\u2019 he said the next moment \u2018of | course, it is no business of mine, only | felt sorry to see him like that.\u2019 .She had flushed hotly at the reproach in his tone and the worn face lost its hard.repressed look, But she answered quite calmly the next moment.\u2019 \u2018Perhaps \"it was a mistake.so now sometimes myself.But it io à mistake we cannot afford to rectify.Dinner will be ready when you are,\u201d she added, as having given him\u2019 all he wanted she turned back to the house.When Drummond went in a big red Scotsman was putting the dishes on the table, whom his hostess introduced as \u2018Mr.Grant\u201d He was rather puzzled by the man\u2019s apppearance and manner.It wag nothing unusual on the prairie to find guitlemen working as farm hands and doing ary \u2018menial\u2019 Jabor, as it woull be called cldewhere.But this man made no pretension to heing a gentleman, though neither was he rough or uncouth in any way.It was impossible to treat him\u2019 as an inferior, though one might not consider hin.an equal.He conducted himself with perfect propriety, and when he did speak\u2014which was seldom\u2014he spoke with knowledge.and was worth listening to.: Two things struck Drummond, who was an observant man.One was, that.his hostess turned instinctively to Grant in any little doubt or difficulty, and no: to her husband.The other, that the man looked at his nristress as a dog looks at its master\u2014as at a superior being, eager to antwipate her wish, to obey her slightest command.A curious thing happened when they were sitting at dinner.A neighbor rode up, saying he had been into the town letters and had brought their post wi him.He tossed a \u2018amaH packct down on the table and was gone almost before they could thank him.Drummond noticed that his host had stopped eating and was looking eagerly and- furtively at the letters, but he did not attempt to touch them.The woman stretched out her hand and took them up.Among the letters -was a small parcel addressed.as Drum- mond could not help secing, to \u2018F.Crawford, Esq.Another name which he did not see was printed at the head of the label.To his astonishment, hs hostess, after a brief glan-e, took up the little packet and deliberately dropped it into the stove, where a fire wag emouldering.* Helen !\u201d her husband cried in anger and entreaty, stretching out his hand.But .she took no notice.For a mcment he looked as though he would have said and done something more, but.the Scotsman\u2019s eyes were on him\u2014steady, s-ornful, command nz\u2014anrl he got up without another word and went out of the room.As he went, Drummond saw\u2014and grew hot with in- dignation\u2014that his eyes were full of tears and his hands trembling, There was an awkward pause, and rvhen on the excuse that he wanted to smoke a pipe, he too left the room.As he was strolling about outside.wishing that he could do something to help his unfortunate host, who seemed at the mercy of his wife and servant.Crawford himself appeared.\u2018Come awny from the house, where we shan\u2019t he overheard.\u2019 he whispered.\u2018I want to speak to you, and that brute Grant is always watching me.I am never gafe from him\u2019 \u2018 l saw you felt sorry for me just now.\u2019 e went on.\"You will guess something of the awful life I lead.[I have no voire or say in anvthing; 1 am a noneñtitv in my own house\u2014worse, a prisoner.1 have no money and no menns of getting anywhere.I can only go as far as I can walk, and you can guess he eaid bitterly, \u2018how far that ia * ; He moved feebly like a man reenver- ing from an illness, and his face was grey and beaded with perspiration.though the air was quite cool.Any exertion geemed too murh for him, he looked the wreck of what must once have, been a fine, strong.man.Drum- mond was full of compassion and indignation.* Why don\u2019L you communicate with your friends ?\u2019 he asked.\u2018Surely they could put a stop to such a state of things if you are not strong enough to exert your authority ?Of course, I don't understand the circumstances, but I can see that something is wrong.\u201cAnd vou will help me ?he asked.eagerly.\u201cFor pity's sake, don\u2019t r°fuse;
