PT PORTCB BAXTER.
SEATTLE. Dec. IS. (Special.) "Pat
rick's homo for lha aged and friend
laaa" la tho way they talk of tba Pa
clflo Coaat Hockey Leacua back In Ot
tawa. Canada. Not aatlafled with thla
"kindly" reference to a aurprlalngly
atronar and active bunch of "a fed and
friendleaa" they aay that, blatory la
again repeating; luelf la tho apectacla
of Canadian hockeyltei building; up an
American team.
Tho Ottawa Free Preaa aeea In So
attle'a three conaecutlTo vlctorlea (the
article waa written before Seattle went
to Portland and waa siren a rood
walloping). Indlcatlona that the Nation
al Hockey Aaeoclation "touriata" are
blazing a trail. rlRht through Patrick's
"home for the eared and friendleaa."
With tbia "blazed trail" In eight the
Free Preaa aoea on to take a crack
at the alleged freak rules of tho Pacific-
Coaat Hockey 'League, and flgnrea
that the succeas of the Seattle Club,
conalderlng the bandlcapa under which
the former National Hockey Aaeoclation
Itlnerame are playing-, la no great
booat for Patrick's circuit.
The National Hockey Aaeoclation bag
no lore for tbe Patricks, because the
Patrlcka bare ahaken them up tn every
way. I auppoae that the "freak rules."
from an Ottawa viewpoint, refer to
the division of the playing aurface Into
three sectlona and the prohibition of a
forward paaa in either end division.
That tbe former Ottawa playera were
handcapped by these rules la true, but
probably not to the extent they think
In the section where tbey do not have
them. We bave not- noticed that the
players from Eastern Canada bad any
great trouble adapting themaelvea to
the climate of the Pacific Northwest.
We ar glad to aay that the Ottawa
erttla la right in hia assumption that
tha men from Ottawa are doing good
work on th Ice. They are playing a
grand game, but I had not observed
any great superiority on their part
over their opponents either ss Individ
uals or as a team. If they should win
th pennant, and there Is no assurance
that they will, their victory will rep
resent great effort against th strong
aat Imaginable oppoaltion.
W bav never thought It a spec
tacle calling for apeclal mention when
a Canadian baseball club waa built up
of material recruited from the United
State. la profeaalonal aporta material
la gathered from a wide area. There
are more ball playera in th Unltad
Statea than Canada, although Canada
might produce eome that were Juat aa
good as any In the United Statea. Can
ada naturally drawa on the United
Statea for material. Canada baa given
more attention tn hockey than the Unit
ed Statea. In this branch of sport they
barve more players and better playera
than th United States. If there la
anything wonderful tn the "spectacle"
of Canadian hockeylata building up an
American team In Seattle w fall to
get It.

CHESS HINTS FOR BEGINNERS.
By Dr. 1. E. Storey.

avoid the fool's mate by placing tho king
on tho queen's square.
Chess ta a vice which has many devotees
tor whom there is no hope.
Keeley never cured a chestnut.
Chess is played on a board which tne
uninitiated thinks la a checker board.
Each player has eight major pieces ana
eight pawns. The major pieces are useful
for trading purposes, while the pawns per
form tho functions of a Boy Scout, and
sometimes assist in smothering ono'a own

grab It quick before he changes his mind.
If you should gain the advantage of a
pawn, waste not your time upon the fine
points of the game, but trade queena at
the earnest possible moment and the other
pieces thereafter.
Never change the. color of your bishop
when both bishops are on tha board. It Is
not ethical to have two bishops of one
color. i
Don't make a rook movement with your
knight unleaa you can get away with it.
The mating of your opponents king la

Another strenuous night of Ice
hockey is slated for the Portland Ice
Hippodrome Tuesday night when the
Portland Uncle Sams will be entertain
ing Manager Lester Patrick and his
Victoria Aristocrats. Each aggrega
tion is keyed up to a high pitch, as a
win for Portland will keep it in the
leadership of the Pacific Coast Hockey
Association, while a defeat charged to
the Uncle Sams will cause them to land
in the same elevation as Victoria.
Considerable rivalry exists between
tbe squads, not only because Victoria
proved a big stumbling block in the
way of the Portlanders last year in
the league race, but because Ran Mc
Donald, who wore the colors of the
Portland team during the 1915-16
campaign, is now drawing pay from
the Aristocrat management.
Ran has been in communication with
several of his friends in Portland, and
be expects to put up a great battle
against his former teammates. Tbe
best scorer on the Victoria squad is
Lester Patrick, who leads in the in
dividual averages, while Ran McDon
ald is third among his players.
. .
"Smoky" Harris, of the Uncle Sams,
has been nursing a bad knee for the
past week, due to a fall received in
that S-to-2 victory over Seattle in the
Portland Ice Hippodrome a week ago
last Friday. He has been rounding
into shape slowly, but Dr. Earl Smith,
the club physician, hopes to have his
protege in condition for the frame
Tuesday.
e e e
Manager Patrick and his followers
will not arrive in Portland until late
Tuesday afternoon, according to word
received by Manager E. H. Savage, of
the Uncle Sams. The game will start
at 8:30 o'clock Tuesday night.
e e
Three sensational races were run in
the Portland Ice Hippodrome yester
day morning. Ray Strong, of Brooklyn
grammar school, won the first race,
while Leonard Wilmot and Paul Mc
Kusker, both of Cieuch grammar school,
were first and second in a special race
for grammar school students.
In the high-schoolers' race, held by
Assistant Manager J. George Keller,
Russell Kaufman, of Lincoln, and L.
Lowdon, of Jefferson, ran a dead heat,
but in the playoff the Jeffersonite car
ried off the honors.
e e e
For using his brother's age certifi
cate to qualify for the junior series,
Alexander Murray, of the Hamilton
Rowing Club Juniors, of Toronto, in
the Ontario Hockey Association, has
been suspended.
e e e
Bert Lindsay, the ex-Pacific Coast
puck chaser, runs a Jitney when he
isn't playing with the Montreal Wan
derers. He started out with a five
passenger machine, but now he has in
creased his business until a 20-seated
vehicle has been purchased.
e a
Manager Frank Patrick will be in
the Vancouver, lineup against Seattle
at Seattle Tuesday night. His team is
at the last rung of the ladder in the
league, and he is trying to bolster up
his sextet. "I want to play, but It is
the getting into condition for a hard
season that bothers me," said the mil
lionaire manager 'on his recent visit
to Portland.
...
A victory for Portland and the same
thing, for Vancouver will leave the
Uncle Sams undisputed leaders of the
Pacific Coast Hockey Association, for
the time being at least.
