CIGARETTE LEADS TO TRAIN FIRE.
When a cigarette butt ignited a consignment of celluloid toys, a train caught fire near Moji, Japan, and seven deaths resulted. Twenty-five others were injured. Two carriages v/ere burnt out. FREE FIGHT. The worst scenes in English Ice hockey in the current season were witnessed when a mass fight in which every player except the goal-keepers participated, broke out shortly before the end of a match at Harringay. The trouble spread when one player of each team dropped his stick, tore off his gloves and tackled each other with bare fists. The penalty box was full of players in the last ten minutes, one team having only two on the rink. PLUNKET SHIELD. After being 41 behind on the first innings against Canterbury, in the Flunket Shield match at Lancaster Park, Otago made 271 in the second innings. The home side thus requires 231 to win. The game ends today.
