Game Played In ’ Scotland dents.

TQRONTO, Ont., April 25—-(By the Canadian Pressl-Before the memories of the P955 "Qility 9958011 have faded, fans will read with lu- terest this account of the early days, James Muir, editor ‘and proprietor of the Almonte Gazette, tells the story about hockey as Played in Scotland in the eighties.

1 have seen it stated by writers on gport that the game of hockey did not exist prior to the nineties nor had the name been invented. Their minds have seemed to me confused over the origin of the game and the origin of "organized hockey." Hock- ey is an ‘older name thanthe nine- ties. 1t was used by Canadian stu- dents attendlfl! Edlnhlllih UBWBF" my in the late eighties; I saw them play. I myself in the late eighties, while" e. school boy, played hockey on ice and on skates, and we called 1t ‘hockey? we used no other term. it ls true we did not have such beautiful creations as the modern stick, for our sticks were home-made 0r improvised.

Canadians attended Edinburgh University in those days in. large numbers, as did Australians. They were strong enough to have a real Canadian club and an Australian club with quarters. Most of the Canadians were from the Maritime Provinces and they called the game fihoekey," and the? ‘snow the rcies, which so far as can be carried out on ice and on skates, and welcailed today, closely allied to the rules of British. rugby. I remember when 1 was a vcry little chap my father cutting me a stick from e. tree to play "shintyfi. Hewlid not call tt “shinty."

cold. ‘These Highlanders were very expert, but they did not play on skates. However, I have seen several games of "hockey" going on at the same time on Duddlngton Loch near Edinburgh and on the ponds on the Briad Hills. That was in the late eighties and early nineties.

We used the" old fashioned acme skates. Some of the Canadians and Norwelglans had ‘regular skating boots with the skates permanently attached. All the Swedes and Nor- wegians, some of whom were our schoolfcllows, had s. beautiful-it seemed to us then—curve on the front of their skates. This disting- uished them at once. Yet the curious thing was that they were not as good figure skaters as the Edin- burgh youths. although they were much faster. lnthese days the Edin- burgh skating club had the reputa- tion of being the best figure skaters in Europe. It was not until Louis Rubenstein of Montreal went across to Europeand displayed his ability at Moscow that Canada took its place as a country tilat produced fig- ure skaters. Happily-he is still with us. . The origin of the game must bc a long way back, just like football, but organized hockey is not very old. But vast changes have taken place even in'a couple of decades. It is hg-rlly the same game. The rulss

Dan Gordon's ships for many years he bought the Brigantine Capstan which was thrown on her beam ends off Cape Hatteras and abandoned when tllc Captain, with his wife and child, were rescued after lllne days aboard the helpless vessel. Three of his four brothers ‘were captains. Alfred's last ship, the Sappho, carried oats from the Island to England, coal from the Welsh pits to South America, and su- gar up the Saint Lawrence.

Sluggish Engine

If thc engine acts sluggish, show- ing a lack of power and a tendency to overheat, look after the spark con- trols- If there is an automatic ad- vance mechanism the weights may be stuck or the shaft may be binding. If the spark timing is manually oper- ated, tlle connection may be loose or entirely disconnected. 1f there is a. loose connection, the spark lever will not advance the spark sufficiently when placed in its customary posi- tion. After the connection has been tightened the timing should be carc- fully checked.

Spongy Tire Tbrcads

If the tire thread appears spongy and is somewhat sticky to the touch at one’ or more spots, it is an indica- tlon that at some time the tire has been permited to stand in a puddle of oil, which has deteriorated thc rubber. There is nothing which can b: done, although the damage may have been prevented by washing thc tire with gasoline.

New Rings In Worn Cylinders

When the piston rings leak it is the opinion of many drivers that it is simply necessary to install new rings. This is far from being effect- ‘lvc, as in most cascs the cylinders

‘are worn out of round and need re- md shoogmgygrindlng before a satisfactory repair

can be made. No piston ring, no fectly fit a cylinder which has worn egg shaped. It is for this reason that when new rings are installed in worn ‘cylinders tile car does not operate as effectively as it did with the old rings. If the pistons, in such cases, were to be removed and the rings examined, it would be seen that the rings arc making contact only at cer- tuin places. If only a small amount {or eccentricity exists and it is decid- ied to install new rings without hav- ling the cylinders ground, the rings

lwill bc necessary to run the car for f about n thousand miles before a good I ft is secured.

Trafllc Stops

when the car is stopped in traffic and thc roadway ls level, the brakes should always be released. The ob- ject is to reduce thc resistance and to lessen the damage, should the car be struck from behind.

Skid Chains

Skid chains are the necessary evils of wet weather driving. Yet, they arc the only reliable skid preventive ‘Though two chains are generally us- ed, there are some drivers who make a practice of attaching only one chain, under the belief that they are preventing unnecessary wear of the other tire. Just the reverse of this is true, as the tire having thc chain will stop more leadiiy without slipp- ing. When starting, the tire without the chain will spin before sudlcient’ traction is secured, while tha-"tlre with the chain may slip onlflslightly until the nearest crossdihain takes hold. _ ’
