"I m very proud," he writes, "of the Toronto boys in the, American squad, and t think ft Is about time that players of the type 'of Billy Burch, Lionel Conaehen 'Babe' Dye, Norman Mimes, Leo Belse and Roy Worters, all of whom came from Toronto district, received the credit due them. Lionel Conacher is not only ono of the greatest players In hockey, but he is largely respqnsible for the success of the Americans this winter. Mr. Dwyer and I have consulted "Connie" in every move, and his advice has always proved invaluable. Toronto boys on the American team are very popular and justly so In New York this winter. They have all played fine hockey, and are really a credit to the town they represent. Trofessional hockey has done wonders in the way of advertising Canada in the United States, and Toronto boys have certainly done their share." E.
