Here it fs spring again, when a young man's fancy turns to thoughts of golf. By now nearly every golfer will have bis clubs ail cleaned up, and even a great number have already been out on the course. But wvhat course? Alas, we have no golf course in Bowrnanville. Our local par-busters (?) head out every weekend to Port Hope, Cobourg, Pickering, Oshawa and even farther afieid. Actually, this is an advertisement. I arn looking for someone with a number of acres to spare, perhaps with a stream not more than two feet wide by two feet deep winding through. Maybe even a couple of hilis and valleys could be added for good measure. Last but flot least, a person with a minimum of $25,000 to $30,000 is essential. It would probably surprise the local citizens, if they knew how many golfers there are around here. Golf is undoubtedly Bowmanviile's fastest growing sport. We golfers wiil gladiy settle for a nine-hole course, so anyone who bas money and land, please step forward. t t1 t t EXHIBITION BOWLING Attention ail you bowling enthusiasis! You dont have to stay at home to watch the big bowling stars on TV any more.» Geo. Elliott and AI Osborne have an ail-star exhibition match lined up for this Saturday afternoon at 2:00 p.m. The match wili feature Pasquales, winncrs of the Toronto City Major League.

The -O.B.A. requcst that each town promote a Minor Basebaîl Week fromn June 23 ta July 5. e Secretary-treasurer Ab Wal- Sker, after reading the financial -repart, noted that the league finances have dropped in the last two ycars. He thought that perhaps there was a need for anew teams in the league. Mr. Waiker also expressed bis gra- titude ta umpire Dude Hilis for bis ca-operation and assistance 1ta the Lakeshore loops. It was iannaunced at this time that iweil-known umpire Mickey De- vine was retiring after 18 years on the job. Fallowing the election, in- coming president Jim Crombie deiivered bis first speech. He painted out that the attendance was good in Oi-ono and Part Hope, but weak in Cobourg and Bowmanville. President Crom- bic thougbt that the fans were tiring of seeing the same four teams, and he hoped the league could expand ta six clubs, with the possible, addition of Peter- borough and Lindsay. At the conclusion of Mr. Crombie's statement, ex-presi- dent Little, generously offered bis counsel to the new 'presi- dent. At the suggestion of AI Osborne, Sid Little was given a warm round of applause, for bis endeavors while on the Lakeshore executive. Former resident, Bill Dadson spoke as a representative of Pe- terborough. He required infor- mation, as ta whether the city could enter two junior teamýs, in the league, wbich could re- tain their Junior status at play- off time. After a lengtby discussion, it seemed that the Peterborough entries would be acceptcd if they couid find financial back- ing. Mr. Dadson will return ta the next meeting in Port Hope on May ist ta report on the conditions in Peterborough. Cobourg delegate Macklin spake quite strenuously against the O.B.A., regarding the poor playoff conditions ta which the Cobourg club had been subject- cd.
