It has been evidence for some time that Buffalo would not support two clubs and that the cheaper organization—the International club—would ultimately be pushed to the wall, as the patronage was insufficient and the club was losing money. A move has been under consideration for some time, and on June 3 a deal was completed providing for the transfer of the team to Montreal. There had been some idea of placing the team in Grand rapids, Mich., but it was abandoned and Montreal secured the club. The regular International championship games will be played on the Shamrock Lacrosse grounds, in Montreal. This transfer makes almost a Canadian league of the International, four of the six clubs now being located in the land of the Canucks.
