The third game Tuesday night, in which the Toronto Maple Leafs, leaders of the international section, bowed 6 to 3 to Boston Bruins, leaders of the American division, involved no other changer in the standings. Many players believe the whirl wina speed or modern hockey wai made possible because of the painstaking efforts of George Tacka-berry who at the age of 63 ed and made the hockey boot now generally used. Mr. Tackaberry ?ho died recently In Brandon Manitoba, took no interest in ,V pome in that town of rabid faivs. Many claim he never saw a match but some of his friends say that he and his seven sons witnessed one game some years ago Just fot the sheer novelty. Although the designer has pased .on, Tackaberrj hockey boots are being made to" day by George Thull, a middle-aged German craftsman, who was employed by TJckaberry for nine years prior to the death of tht latter. The boots are bench-made nt the rate of one pair a day at the same shoe-repairing shop where Tackaberry first went into business.
