Newmarket clashed in the semisi hustlers got revenge for recent defeats in this neck J of the woods by ousting Aurora piled up four runs in the fourth for their vic tory edge while Optimists could- nt

Newmarket arena We did see a vestige of a report in the Eras editorial column sug- Siting Newmarket report might not be too big a shock to the taxpayer but unless weve missed what is not known to the man on the street who alter ail is the owner of j these ice the actual fig- Aurora or Newmarket and hasnt a report offered to us We dont as many prospective customers think were unfair when we say- that Ever stop to think just DOUBLEHEADER Bill Red Mitchell who needs no introduction to the sportsmen of this precinct will lead his Lindsay nee- wees and bantams into town this Saturday afternoon for a doublebill with Newmar ket Optimists reports Don Warner Optimist chairman of hoys work Both games will he played at diam ond First game starts at pm The promoters are hoping to see a worth while turn out of fans to sec our youngest in action at municipality have not been made known For that matter little is known of plans for next winter at either arena Newmarket of course is profitably operating this summer for various events Aurora still lacks the promised floor which would at least give an opportun ity for profit We recall manag er Tom Dickson telling us in good faith in late April the floor would be started soon As a contrast to the still un known picture of the two public ly owned arenas lets have a look at the nearest privately owned arena of a comparable size in the district Perhaps were being a bit in say ing comparable size for to which we refer doesnt seat as many as either ill li mil- mam OXVIS HUES J BILL a if ruiuc THURSDAY SATURDAY JULY 1921 VJ v i i ft r

TECHNICOLOR 1 1 r r to draw from We do not suggest for one min ute that Ken who manages the arena is a wit smarter operator or more hep to sales promotion than eith er Stan Smith Newmarket or Tom Dickson Aurora So when we present the facts of the oper ations of Stonffville arena we have no kick about cither Stan or Tom and know you have nt either They dont come much better Recently the Stouffville arena company held its annual meeting and reelected George Allison exMount Albert sportsman now resident in Stouffville back to office as president arena which cost something over 100000 in private capital less the donation of the site and one or two of assistance from the civic authorities had a net operating profit of over ten grand after salaries and repairs and a clear net return to the village coffers of over has been made for water power and taxes The actual expenses were around 14000 The actual take was Main revenue items were hockey practices 714417 net return from hockey 1200 Tor onto Hockey League rentals 431120 public skating an item down from from skate grinding fees and a profit of from the op eration of the food booth con ducted for the first lime as an arena venture Clippers actually grossed so that the figure of represents less than a 25 percent take from the team a figure that must make those behind the Spitfires Rockets In dians and Bears and Cubs wince somewhat We were surprised at these hockey figures Perhaps they contain the odd gate or two of Mark ham Millionaires but be that as it may the net result to the hockey teams no matter where it went speaks for itself No one could accuse the share holders or arena management of not treating the teams fairly Its no secret that despite this generous allotment of revenue from the gates the Clippers went deep into the red Arc they downhearted The answer comes in a resounding no for already Tim and the boys have had a summer get together and made plans for next winter The directors refused to take any fees voted to pay the money left over off the gross debt and the present rote after two years of operation the money raised by way of mortgage or loan will be paid off in two years ami the investors may even make a buck or two for themselves in the fu ture Sounds something like the story of Maple Leaf Gardens in a modest way Wo will be greatly surprised If the figures for Aurora or New market will even give hope that some few years from now we shareholders may have such i T GUESTS WELCOME il how much actual cash the res pective towns have in the arena You should acquaint yourself with a true actuarial picture We all should know how we face next season right now Of course it will be said that neither municipality is in the arena business to make money We have no with that cither on an overall picture if some of the looked- for advantag es to local groups local young sters and local hockey teams be come a reality No one expects that the arena commissions will not try to run the arenas on a sound business basis that is the way we expect them to discharge their trust public servants On the other hand we dont think the men who invested in arena ever hoped to clip coupons or pay income tax on the returns from rink They wore equally civic conscious and did a job the municipality refused to do We think they can take a bow for a job well done No I one expects miracles but it will be interesting to compare figures in either red or blue Newmarket and Aurora with those made public at by the private company July jottings Mitchell- son of Red Mitchell arid who starred as a hockey player for Lindsay Midgets the past winter is equally outstanding as a base- bailer Mitchell won all three games at the Lindsay tournament last week while operating with an injured leg South playoffs have Cooks- town vs Bradford and vs Bond Head Series games listed for the and 24th with the and of July if necessary Undefeated Cooks- town 1 favored to win Harry veteran of the district has again been nam ed to the league allstar team Others known well in these parts include Ken Bears goalie at shortstop Joe Megan of hockey fame at centre- field The second team has Co Hi tigs young star as catcher and Junior promising young hockey at first base The rest of the lads are not well known south of the Holland Riven will join rt they hit playoffs and his softball duties with Button- ville ended a threes star performer oi three sports recently tossed the second hitter of his career over the seven inning route against Mark- ham Last year he did likewise against Peaches Hope nobody is mad at us but we did recom mend BUI to Claude Bill is headed for Scotland as you know Mil and Shew- of the Spits were others wo recommended and one of them is likely to go We also had a good word for Clarence Cat of Midland Jim Aurora arid one or two more Its not that wish to see these faces missing from district hock ey but its time some of them made a few bucks from natural ability
