THE - OREGON ..SUNDAY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, ; SUNDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY ; 3, 1918.
SPEEDING up the ice game has always been the endeaVor of
the professional magnates in the hockey world. . Hockey
has made worideifful progress during the past 'few
years, vvnen tne game was nrst started' in mc ruics
governing it were very crude compared to the rules of the pres
ent" day.; The fiumber of men used in the game at that time
depended upon the size of the ice area. Often as many as 12 men
would be playing on a side. A pass could be made forward with
out Offsides being called. "Shinney on your own side" was the
'prevailing motto. Instead of stick handling and advancing the
puck as players of the present day nurse the little rubber disc, a
"Jong, healthy swipe toward the opponent's goal served the purpose.
The year following its invention the lovers of the ice sport
called a meeting at Montreal and a schedule was arranged and a
set of rules drawn up to govern the game. The league at that
time was represented by three Canadian cities Three Rivers,
Quebec and Montreal. Large crowds braved the stormy elements
to witness the contests. Montreal' was the first trophy winner.
In order to develop hockey a mass meeting was called at Mon
treal in 1890. At this meeting a project was started to finance
an enclosed area with seating capacity for hockey purposes. A
building TO feet wide and ISO feet long was erected. This building
was the first of its type in Canada. Seating accommodation was
arranged for 2000 people. The rules drafted called for seven men
on a side and the offside play came into its own.
The success of the newly rgan
. ixed Montreal Athletic club proved
to b the forerunner of a great maliy
a other clubs.. In 1891 a great many
new clubs sprang Into prominence.
Toronto organized a city league,
and in. the days when hockey did
not haV the movies as a competitor
to attract - the attention of the
amusement loving people, the seat
ing capacity of the different rinks
was at premium whenever a game
was played. (
Ontario Starts In 18M
In 1895 the Ontario Hockey asso-
elation was rormed. mis league
was divided Into three- classes:
senior. Intermediate and junior. The
Junior league was composed of small
town and villages tortunaie enougn
to have a couple of players of class
and would fill In with, material of
lesser ability. The intermediate
league players were often not in a
class with some of the Junior clubs.
Knowing the possibilities of winning
the championship of their different
classes, a successful team would not
leave the Junior ranks, preferring to ,
bo the big fish in the small puddle.
Later a governing board con
trolled the" status In this respect.
The Junior league was made up of
players. who had not, reached voting
age. The Intermediate league was
open to any club and the senior
league claimed all clubs which
figured they outclassed the Inter
mediates. Leagues were organized
wherever the weather permitted the
playing of the now popular winter
pastime. The west became one of
the important factors In the hockey
world. In "Manitoba, Saskatchewan
and .-Alberta, whereT the winter
season extends over a period of
five months, many' crack players
, were developed. Every year found
' players developing ways and means
to offset an opponent's effectiveness.
Thea the Light Went Oit
In the early, days when the light
ing appurtenances of the different
Tlnks consisted of coal oil. lamps
covered with a mesh netting jto keep
the puck from breaking them or
prevent an accident such as break
ing 'the lamp globe with the stick,
when the advantage was - to be
gained by causing a delay in the
' game, the referee had his hands
full in giving decisions. Often a
player would deliberately break a
lamp In front of his own goal when
It was being attacked. Time would;
be called and a new light commis
sioned. The lamps were generally
hung, about eight feet above the Ice
surface so that It was not hard for
the player to "alibi" that the break
ng of the lamp was an accident.
Owing to the low ceilings the puck
was "lofted" or, as Americanized,
'lifted.' That is, the plffyer, Instead
of shooting tho puck a the present
day, stars do, would try to get the
. disc standing on edge and with a
; lifting movement hurl it above the
lights and wooden cross pieces or
beams, trusting that It would land
In or near the opponents' goal line.
Nets were unheard of previous to
, I960. The goal consisted of two
posts, generally Iron pipes set up
, light, six feet, apart and four feet
hlghV l The goal umpire took his
i position directly behind the goal and
; off "the Ice. When the rivalry be-'
,'tween competitors was keen and
considerable money had been
, wagered on the results, a goal um-

Michigan Starts Professionals
In 1902 the Copper Country league
was organized in Michigan. This
was tho beginning of professional
hockey. The following year the
league expanded and was known - as
the International league. The Can
adian 8oo, Houghton, Calumet &
Pittsburg were .represented In the
organization, "Cyclone" Taylor and
Bobby Rows of the Vancouver and
Seattle clubs, respectively, played in
the league at that time. Another
was Kenny Mallen, last year with
Spokane. In 1905 the league dis
banded and no more professional
hockey was played until the Na
tional Hockey association was or
ganized. In 1912 -18 an agreement was
reached whereby the Coast league
and tho N. H. A. would play off for
the world's championship emblem,
namely the "Stanley cup," at the
close of each season.
The rules governing the play In
the two leagues are qulto different.
In the east a six man game is
played, the rover being eliminated.
In the. Coast league the old seven
man game Is stUI played, although
the rules have been greatly changed.
The dividing of the ice In three
equal parts, making the center Ice
space neutraj whereby a player may
pass the puck 'in any direction he
wishes to a fellow player who . is
.Inside of the neutral territory
without an offside being called. This
rule has Increased the speed of the
game, and at the came time the
public, which pays good money to
see speed Is not , encumbered with
the monotony of watching the ref
eree stopping plays and breaking
up wonderful combination attacks
when the offside occurs In the mid
dle section.
Gaines Are Shortened
The eastern game requires aboift
two hours' time for completion anil
the Coast league games are in
variably played In 1 hour and 40
minutes.
The old timer who saw hockey
20 years ago and who witnesses one
of the Seattle-Rosebud .tilts, opens
his eyes with wonder and, turning
to his . neighbor honestly says :
"Those fellows travel at a much
faster pace tan when 1 played the
game."

that I'd bust the knots out of half the

The author of those succinct but hope
ful words was Grants Pass' most prom
inent son, baseballically speaking, the
champion home run hitter of the Pacific
Coast league, the go-gettum kid, Ken
neth Wallop Williams.

Kenneth Wallop is brushing aside the

Washington streets for a few days, while
he awaits for Fielder Jones to finish a
bridge whist series started some weeks
ago. He has been able to Interrogate
Jones at brief periods In ' the elevator
while the latter Is en route from the
whist room to the dining hall at stated
periods daily.
"The ways of the big leaguer are be
yond me," continued the man from
Grants Pass, who is sporting a new elk
tooth on his vest, which (the elk, not
the vest) his father and uncle killed In
Marlon county In 1868. Judging from
the size of the molar, the Willlamses
must have been daring, hunters to have
tackled the Job without calling-on the
Indian War veterans.

"Tep, the ways of the big leaguer are
peculiar. The St. Louis Americans of
fered me a contract for (2100 a season,
which la less than I got In the Coast
league when you consider having to
pay my way back to Oregon from St.

I'm a hold out or not, but the high cost
of living' must be combatted, you know,
and I'm out to swing a' rapid jaw. '
Jones Sot Signing 'Em
"I had a talk with Jones and Fielder
says that he has shifted the burden of
signing up the players on Bobby Qulnn,
the new business manager. Fielder says
that he wants no dissatisfaction on his
ball club In the future, and the best 'way
to do it, in his opinion, la to let the
club owners dicker with the players. In
that way, none of the players will have
grievance 1 against the manager, and
that's a nice, way of looking at it. How

I think I can hit up there as well

Its going to be a great year for young,

Th jkorthwest Steel company and

company, are ready to organise
team! for the league, according to
infornatlon received from players,
who .performed with these teams
durirg the 1917 season. The Penin

ing I ere.
No effort will be made to organise
the. iterclty league this season.
This decision was' reached at the
annUil meeting of the directors a
short time ago. The reason for hot
continuing after three successful
