Banting, are in splendid shape. The `County is out of debt and there is a sur.plus of $36,000 to start the year with.

LEAGUE OPENER St. M-.11-y s Lose to B-aracas and `St. Andrew s \/Vin from Trinity." The opening gannes in the Sunday School League were played on Fri- -day night. Judging from nhe class of hockey provided in the two open- ing contests it would appear that `the league was about. ,to enjoy a. banner season. Those who sta.yed'at home on Friday night because there were only junior games played, will not see moire exciting battles in the senior series. What the juniors lack in skill they make up in enthusiasm and pep. The result is that a. junior contest seldom lags. The junior Sunday School `league is the school from which t:rai,ued players to re- present Barrie in the O.:H..A. in fut- ure years will be obtained.

The meet- ing had been advertised in the press for two weeks and a letter had been sent to the wclergymen of the town asking them to announce it from the pulpit. This had !been done in some churches at least. Last year .no meeting had been held as there had not been enough present. Thn Qnr-1'1:-9:11-v T VV Nae: vnn altnougll hit. Mairys were ueieuwu 6 to 2, they showed up well against the nifty Buraca. outt. Baracas have :1 strong teaun and will give any team in t/he league a stiff argwiiient. Emms and Tuck, of intexwmediate fame, were on the Baraca line-up and strengthened it iconsideraibly. Enrms was the best player on the ice in I~`i'idzLy s -game, and notched four of his tea.m s six countens. He was given it close run for first honors by Dick Iv`l-alieriy, St. Mw1'y's husky defence player. Tuck, in goal, and Furlong at centre played excellent hockey for the Methodists. Scott worked hzird and scored his tea.m's second goal. Desourdie and L. Fla: iieriy showed some nice stick lmndling. Tn Him nnv innnimris all` the rst * nzmulmg.

For the 1'emainde1` of the period St. Mary's had the best of the play. Every Bax1`a.cz1 attack was bottled up almost at the start.

No COI)1'bin'a.i.iOI1 play was attempted by either team. hence some _ spectacular individual work brought no results.
