cific eoast puck chasers start their annual-championship
derby along about
January 1, ona ani possibly two ot
tha veteran performers who hars
thrilled hockey fans of the country
with their spectacular performance
during the past decade or more will
be missing from the lineups. Frank
Patrick, president of the Pacific Coast
Hocke association manager or tne
Vancouver team and generalissimo of
hockey forces west of the Rockies, to
day. announced his permanent retire
znent from the game as a player. Si
Griff la. former Kenora star and for
the oast five years captain of the
iYancouvtr club, is the., other player
Who is contemplating" retirement. Les
ter Patrick, manager of the Spokane
club, and one of the oldest puck chas
ers in the country in point of service
will not retire, but announces that he
will only figure as a substitute this
season. - -
' Both Frank Patrick and Si Griffis !
have prepared their valedictory ad- i
dresses for presentation to the hockey
populace. There is a chance, so rumor
has it. that the latter may reconsider
his decision,-but with Patrick , it Is
final. "I'm through as a player," de
clared the coast prexy with emphasis
when queried concerning his plans for
the coming season. '"It was a heart
breaker for me to keep going last sea
son and I do not Intend even donning
the- skates and refereeing. Hereafter
I'll devote all of my time to the ex
ecutive end of the business on the
coast."
Had Ko Superior
The retirement of Patrick from the
game means the passing of one of
the greatest. If not the greatest player
who ever handled a stick In Canadian
hockey. Starting to senior company
when but 17 years jd- age, he baa
bean 'playing without a Treak for the
past 15 seasons, first as a member of
one fit the Montreal clubs, then with
Renfrew, Ont., liter with Nelson, B.
C.t and then with the ; Vancouver club.
He broke Into senior company long
before "Moose" Johnson, . Portland's
veteran : Art Ross, the Montreal star,
arid a number of others who are now
rated as old timers. As a defence
player there are few better than Pat
rick. Fearless, daring In attack, a wonder
' f ul' stick handler, fast and possessing
wonderful Judgment, .he has played
brilliantly during the many years ot
service with the various teams.
Strange to relate, however, . it was not
until the season of 1914-16 that he
fiaaily landed with-u pennant winner.
Ha piloted the Vancouvera that sea
son, when they won the Pacific, coast
' championship and later - defeated Ot
tawa In a series for the Stanley cup,
' emblematic of the world's champion

Two trades, which involved 10 players and cash amounting to close to $110,000, robbed the Quaker city ot

All major league records for trading
players were shattered during the past

club. Bush had made a wonderful rec
ord with the Athletics during the past
several seasons. With Boston he should
be a star of the first rank.
Vean Gregg staged a wonderful "come
back" In the International league last
season, but whether the former great
port-slder will be able to stick in the
majors remains to be seen. He won 21
and lost 9 games with Providence dur
ing 1917. Thomas has been on the Bos
ton team for several seasons, but baa
not been played very regularly.
The St. Louis pitching staff, the weax
spot of Fielder Jones' lineup in 1917,
will be bolstered by the addition or
Gallia, the Waahlngton star. In ex
change for Gallia, Waahlngton receives
Inflelder Lavan and Outfielder Ehotten.
The swapping of Zach Wheat, the
Brooklyn outfielder, tor Chuck Wort

strength to the Cub outfield.

newspapers following transactions which

' "Do the business men who control
