In hockey Arthur Ross of the Mon treal Wanderers, generally is consid ered ihe greatest player of his day. Art Kos.s' day has extended over a periotl of many years. Recently word was received that the great star was talking of retiring. If he does he will he showing better ense than did many another veteran by quitting the name which has made hitn famous he fore he draws the inevitable i ink slin in his envelope.

That bat tered title has been tossed about a bit, conferred on first one and then another, but when they have all been rattled through the sifter Ross stands out as the brainiest, most consistent ly brilliant player, over a long period ( years, that the game has ever kiown. .Six feet in height, perfectly propor tioned, always in the pink of condi tion, Ross in his heyday added to these assets terrific speed and a stick wizardry that was little short of mar velous.

THE BEE: rn LAC THE KIO CAN'T TALK! high flight ot speed, but the ability to puzzle opponents with sheer stick skill has not deserted the bin Scots man. All hough he does not flash and cir cle about the ice with the meteoric dash of-ywre, opposing defense still find it a difficult task to get the puck off Ross' elusfe twisting stick. Add to this a hockey brain of far more than average keenness, which stored up the experience of many years, and Ross is still today a for midable addition to any team. The ice game has never had a smarter player than Ross. How, when playing with Ottawa, he euchercd the Wanderers out of the championship of 1914-15 is still fresh in the minds of contemporary fans.' Ottawa came to Montreal for the final of the home and home with a lead of three or four goals. The dope was that Ottawa would try to make its defensive stand through a strong offense, and that was the style for which th Wander ers primed themselves. Instead, when the game started Ross spread out three players in a barrier in front of the Ot.wa net. Wanderers could not fathom this switch at all. The red hoops went up in the air, demor alized, scored only one goal in the game, and lost the chance to go to the coast. lwh fth.iws: Opmilnr of annual show of Kaxlrrn Dog club, at lloiton, Raolne: f'liwa of Jtltrmnn Park Fair aa oclatton mretln, at w Orlrana.
