O.A.H.A. Starts FIRST STEP TAKEN TOWARD SECESSION FROM THE C.A.H.A. Quebec Takes Initiative, Hoping Ottawa District and Maritimes Follow Suit HAS TWO-FOLD AIM Would Reduce Number of Playdowns Under C.A.H.A Control and Keep More Gate Receipts Here By LLOYD LOCKHART. The first step by the Quebec Amateur Hockey Association towards secession from the C.A.H.A. took place in a Montreal hotel room last night with the next due to come sibly Maritimes. from Ottawa. and the third posA full executive meeting of the Q.A.H.A. not only expressed various forms of dissatisfaction with the current set-up of the parent body, together with the financial arrangements attendant upon the Allan Cup playdowns, but put out feelers for the establishment of an Eastern Canadian Hockey Association, this be independent from the C.A.HA. in the matter deciding a winner to enter the Dominion semi-finals, and still more important, in the matter of gate receipts. Proposed by George Slater, convener without of the opposition, Q.S.H.L., the and motion passed ed for an immediate invitation to Cecil Duncan, past president of the C.A.H.A.. and W. George, president of the Ottawa branch, to attend a meeting here for further perusal of the question, probably next week. If the support of Ottawa is obtained, and it is thought it will be, the two bodies would then try to enlist the Maritimes for a threeway front against the C.A.H.A. The meeting at the outset had its guns levelled at some such enactment, since it had been postponed as long as possible in hopes that Dr. W. G. Hardy, another past president of the C.A.H.A., would be here to attend. As it was, the understanding was left with the members that if Dr. Hardy did come to Montreal, a hurry-up meeting would be called with George Dudley, current president of the C.A.H.A., also invited to be on the scene. NEW SYSTEM OUTLINED For six years, Slater said, the present playoff terms had proven ineffectual, with any club which did manage to make the finals automatically facing bankruptcy. If secession were achieved each branch would resign from the parent body separately, form themselves into a new association, then apply for re-entrance as such. Confidence that such an arrangement would operate in like manner to the setup of the O.H.A. and the N.O.H.A. and that the application would be accepted were part of the platform. Under the current system once the Allan Cup eliminations pass bethe precincts of a local league, all gate receipts belong to the Canadian association, leaving the individual with the same overhead as they had all season and usually inadequate expense. accounts to pay their way. Montreal alone, during the past three years, added $52,000 to the C.A.H.A. coffers. Still another nudge was taken at the C.A.H.A. when the meeting moved to have that body accountable for all expenses incurred by the Q.A.H.A. for all playoff games in Montreal. In Winnipegjunior Royals' series alone, President Norman Dawe said, $75 was consumed telephone calls between himself and the C.A.H.A.. with none of this having been billed to the latter. Several minor items were also handled. Dawe said two telegrams had been sent to Parliament protesting the 20 per cent. levy on sports tickets, but this was not done as an action of the Q.A.H.A. One member protested that this tax was more justifiable than per cent. provincial impost already effective, but no legislation was passed to give the Q.A.H.A. a stand on the matter. A request by the Quebec Royal Rifles to have a representative of REMEMBER THE TIME... FIFTEEN YEARS AGO; MAY 28, 1926. Mrs. Mallory, former United States tennis champion, defeated Mrs. Beamish in the Chiswick Park tournament at London, England. TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO; May 28, 1916. J. E. Seagram's Mandarin, winner of the King's Plate at Woodbine, was sent back to the farm at Waterloo, Ontario, to be rested after a strenuous spring campaign. THIRTY-FIVE YEARS AGO; May 28, 1906. Moonraker, owned by James Meager, of Toronto, won the Seagram Gold Cup race at Woodbine. He was ridden Eddie Walsh. their club on the Q.A.H.A. board was turned down flat; a letter will be sent by the Q.A.H.A. to the C.A.H.A. asking that Western playoffs be reduced all along the line. and a committee was appointed to see that the junior Royals receive from the Q.A.H.A. some recognition of their entrance into the Memorial Cup finals. These donations will probably take the form of either windbreakers or rings. A request from Don Penniston, coach of the Quebec of the Quebec Senior League, to obtain an import replacement for Jim Sutherland, who joined the armed forces last winter was held in abeyance, the meeting voted $3,000 for Victory Loan bonds. which is in addition to $4.000 subscribed for the first war loan. OTTAWA FOLLOWS LEAD Secretary Duncan Expresses Approval for New Association Ottawa, May 27.- - (P) -Formation of a New Eastern Canadian Amateur Hockey Association comprising Quebec, Ottawa and the Maritimes receive the "unqualified approval" of the Ottawa and District Hockey Association, secretary Cecil Duncan said tonight. "Such an action has been under consideration by our association for some time," Duncan said, "and it has come to a head, particularly in view of the attitude of the western branches of the C.A.H.A. in voting on matters pertaining to the playdowns." Duncan charged that the C.A.H.A. frequently was more concerned with "commercial considerations" than it was with the welfare of its various branches. The new set-up was proposed by George Slater, president of the Quebec Senior Hockey League, after the Quebec Amateur Hockey Association, in a special meeting at Montreal tonight, expressed disapproval of its relations with the C.A.H.A. Duncan said he did not care to discuss specific details of O.D. H.A.'s differences with the C.A.H.A. but declared he "definitely disapproved" the playoff split made by the C.A.H.A. to the eastern associations. He said most of his objections to the C.A.H.A.'s policy related only to senior hockey. James McCaffrey, business manbec Senior League, said he made ager of Ottawa Senators of the ? Quethe original suggestion that a new eastern asociation be formed at a Hockey Asthelatiouebes Montreal meeting Amateur "about a month ago." "And, naturally, on that basis, warmly endorse the motion made by the Q.A.H.A.," McCaffrey said. C.A.H.A. MEETING SET Fresident Dudley Withholds Statement Until Tomorrow Toronto, May, 27. - (CP) - George Dudley of Midland, Ont, president of the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association, said tonight he would probably have some statement to make tomorrow on the proposal of the Quebec Amateur Hockey Association to form a new Eastern Canada Hockey Association to comprise Quebec, Ottawa and the Maritimes. Dudley, who stated he had not been informed of the Quebec move, is in Toronto for meeting tomorrow with other C.A.H.A. officers and will discuss proposal with them. Dudley said his Toronto visit originally was in connection with business apart from the Q.A.H.A. proposal. proposal was made at a meeting in Montreal of the Quebec Association tonight. to in
