What is the world’s record cidence in sport? “In our Colonel William B. Hanna, tourist and scribe, has discovered the answer. The story in question—and it is a true one—is built around Fred Poole.

Ski Jumpers Now Having - Their Inning at Montreal Winter Sport Carnival Montreal, Canada, Jan. §.—Winter sports are the main topic of conver- sation among the sportsmea here. Toboganning, skiing, 1ce skating, hockey and every other Jeck Frost sport are being indulged in by hun- dreds. One of the most fascinating of winter pastimes is skiing. When the expert is on the wooden hlades nothing is more spectacular to 'the onlooker and participant. The skier glides down the incline speedily, takes the jump gracefully and lands in the soft snow some distance away without any trouble, but the amateur has his hands full. His journey is one of upsets. When going down the incline his wooden blades ge: crossed, and he is due for a spill, and when he takes the jump it is doubtiui whether he will land on his feet ¢. on his shoulder: Photo shows Canadians initiating a new comer by tossing him high in the air, Before a crowd estimated at 500, Co.

Slater handled the games in his usual clever manner, and much of the ob. Jectionable delays between plays, nee~i essitated oh account of out of bounds play were missing. The ball was al-| ways in motion and it was a hustle all the time by players whether in- side or outside bounds to recover it, making the playing very fast. 1 The lid of the season was pried off with the Kenilworth and Viking clubs as the contenders. The Kenils worth team easily excelled thelr op= ponents, winning 31 to 20.
