Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - November 21, 1910, Winnipeg, Manitoba The free press Page of live Chat on sport the newly formed provincial senior hockey series promises to meet with Success in its first venture judging from the feeling of the delegates of the different clubs that met in the City on saturday. Messes. Thomas and Scott the two railway Man from Brandon says that the wheat City fans Are just crazy for and Are prepared to Back their boys to any extent if any Money to required to help the club along air. The Kenora Delegate was Nso very optimistic and said that the people at the Lake town were looking Forward to the building up of a team of local boys who would equal the rec Ord of the famous thistles. He says that there is a great revival in hockey circles in the town owing to the new league being formed and the officials of the club expect to put a fast seven on the ice this Winter. At the meeting on saturday night the representatives of All the clubs promised to do their Best to have the teams Start play on time so that the Publio could not have any kick Corning from any source As this. Headers of the free press and the sporting Public at Large will doubtless have painful recollections of the horde of wrestlers from across the Border which invaded this City seven years ago and degraded a Fine sport to the level dog fighting and Kindred amuse ments. A gang came in and the writer has reason to remember it for it was his first assignment and though per haps he May be Green still he must admit having been done in the Eye on that occasion. The fakers worked their Way up the Southern states and raked Snall kinds of Money until this paper caught on and showed them up for fair. They beat a Hasty Retreat and where they went to heaven alone knows. To the vast majority of these wrestlers the sport apparently conveyed no meaning whatever their sole aim and object seemingly being to gather in As much Money As possible with the minimum amount of exertion. a famous american president once said you can t fool All the people All the and after a week or two watching alleged Money matches which proved in the upshot to be merely exhibitions of the worst kind the Public finally arrived at the conclusion that was a sport Best left Alona and tha game languished. It was a Well worked scheme these Fellows had. They came in one by one and issued open challenges. If no one in the City responded of the pals was wired to and coming in hot haste a match for blood was arranged and the usual enmity was supposed to exist Between them. On the mat they really earned their Money for in a Little Stuffy Hall adjoining the Manor hotel where the heat was terrific they rather fought than wrestled this being the usual Way in every country How faking is covered up. Other members of the gang were on two or Hundred Dollar Bills were flashed in the eyes of the audience which packed the Hall to such an extent that there was always danger of the gallery falling in in fact., part of the gallery did give Way on one occasion. Well that is neither Here nor there. Another bout was arranged for the following evening and to much excitement was created Over the rather alleged that Tho hungry fans went without their supper so As to get in line and secure e. Good seat. Well to Cut a Long Story Short they were driven out of town and there was a dullness in the sport for Many months though a few matches were held from time to time. That Winnipeg likes the sport was proven when some really entertaining matches were held at the Walker theatre and wrestling revived. In fact everyone was so keen on it that other promoters rushed into the game and there was another kill ing the death Knell being sounded when George be Page refused to go on the mat with Gustafson at the auditorium rink in the Early summer. It was not the fault of Gustafson for he has always proved Hon self an honest boy. Was then Little Alex. Stewart s Chance to show what he was made of. He gave the fans present an Opportunity to size him up and he made Good it is this same boy who won the championships of England and Scotland who meets Ernie Sundberg to night and the fans can rest assured that the match will be on the level. Stewart is How Ever assaying next to the impossible in trying to throw his opponent three times in an hour for besides being cd Var Sundberg is a hard Man to throw at any time. Ring.
