Before professionâ€" alism was officially recognized, there was always suspicion attaching to the amateur clubs. Doubts about the bona fides of the amateurs were seldom abâ€" sent, although nobody proved anything or indeed wanted to prove anything. Those who were in a position to know exactly the validity of thess doubts were the least inclined to talk on the subject. Professionalim was winked at by some and completely ignored by others. Open and aboveâ€"board profesâ€" sionalism was adopted after a long period of growth. It occasioned a great saUlUsI@AstOory aqevelopment. The long life of the National Hocke League is in itself a testimony to th efficacy of the modern system, accord ing to Mr. Calder. According to a despatch from Monâ€" treal last week, Frank Calden, presiâ€" dent of the National Hockey League, has been expressing his opinion on the value of professional hockey. Greater stability of hockey today is the outstanding change that has deâ€" veloped in «the organization of the game during the past two decades, is the belief of Frank Calder, who this season completed 20 years as president of the National Hockey League. To the adoption of outâ€"andâ€"out professionâ€" alism and professional methods, Mr. Calder attributes chiefly the credit for this satisfastOry development.

Aided Amateur Hockey Mr. Calder thinks that the introducâ€" tion of professionalism has been a good thing for the amateur branch of the sport. "It gives the amateur a higher standard of play by which to measure," he averred. "Then, practically every amateur. whether he acknowledges it or rot, ha s ambitions of becoming a professional. Every kid who is handâ€" ling a hockey stick has that idea also, and dreams of becoming a Morenz, a Blinco or a Stewart." There was a hint of regret in Mr. Calder‘s voice as he spoke of the disappearance from the circuit of the similar Canadian cities, Quebec, Ottawa, and Hamilton, which had clubs in the league in its early days. He attributes the failure of these cities to maintain a club in the league to one cause; lack of population sufficient to produce a sustaining atâ€" tendance. In proportion to their popuâ€" lation, Mr. Calder maintains, the smalâ€" ler cities gave more loyal support than the. larger. "If New York‘s attendâ€" anrnces were in the same proportion to population as were Ottawa, Madison Square Gardens would have to be capâ€" able of seating 200,000," is his way of which had early days of these cit league to 0 sufficient t tendance. a l Bli hir On one point Mr. Calder is emphatic and that is that the standard of the game is higher today than it was 20 years ago. ‘"There is no comparison between the two periods in this respect. The standard today is far better in every way. Oldâ€"timers will f)robably be very much in disagreement with me on that point. But in my opinion, the present game compares advantageously with the old one, both individually and collectively. Twenty years ago, it is true, there were a few outstanding players who could hold their own with any of today, but there were not so many of these stars then as there are today. That reflection, curiously enough, raises a point that shows where we are now at a standstill. The indications are that there will not be so many firstâ€" class players in the near future. We ae rot developing men to fill the places of our best players of today when they drop out. We have lots of recruits. We have aspirants by the carload, yet it is difficult to pick out good prosâ€" han came pSor. BuUus sport are affected titcns and we had c but we pulled thro uUur Inc 1 ue to one c icient to p dance.

As the British team is slated to return to the United States for their Walker Cup match next year, it was taken for granted, if the Royal and Ancient Society agrees, dates for the Canadian amateur will be arranged so that the British players may compete in it. Grolfing officials believed the trip would be a great incentive for the fuâ€" ture of «Canadian ‘golf, particularly if it could be made the forerunner of fuâ€" ture international competitions between British and Canadian players. Funds for expenses of the team to compete at the British championship at the Royal Lytham and St. Anne‘s Golf Clubs, St. Anne‘s England, will be raisâ€" ed by private subscriptions, B. L. Anâ€" derson, Oof Toronto, secretary of the R.C.G.A., announced. If the R.C.G.A. is considering youns players alone in the west it probably will choose the three western representâ€" atives from among Ken Black and Stan Leonard, of Vancouver, Bobby Reith and Bud Donovan, of Winnipeg, and Stewart Vickers, of Calgary. Homerville will be more than a mere playing captain. In all probability he will be among the hot favourites to capture the British amateur, won last year by Lawson Little, of San Francisco. London‘s Sandy won the United States ama‘teur in 1932 and went to the sixth round in the British event before he was eliminated in 1933. Finally adopting the plan used in cther branches of sport and following close on the heels of the recent anâ€" ncuncement of the Canadian Lawn Tennis Association, the Canadian Lawn Asscciation Monday night at Toronto decided to send a team of eight Canâ€" adian amateurs to Great Britain to compete in the British Amateur Chamâ€" pionship. A plan such as this has long been needed in Canadian golf in order to add some incentive to young golfers and enable them to get the competition on foreign fields that is necessary to develop and produce champions. C. Ross "Sandy" Somerville of Lonâ€" don, the greatest amateur golf comâ€" petitor Canada has produced, has been chosen to lead the team of eight playâ€" ers into the British amateur chamâ€" nionship. Except for Somerville the team will be composed of somewhat immature players, although all have had tournament experience in Canadian and provincial championships. If inâ€" ternational competition will help make them champions, then they are being given a chance that older players in Canada never had. The golfing brigade will be composed of Gordon B. Taylor, Jr., and Edward A. Innes, of Montreal, rebresenting Q@uebec; Phil Farley and Fred Hoblitâ€" zel, of Toronto, representing Ontario, and three western players yet to be selected.

Timmins High School girls were again in the win column last night when they defeated Schumacher 45â€"5 in a basketball fixture. The Timmins girls hag everything their own way as the score indicates. They grabbed an early lead and just piled on more steadily. A number of Timmins hockey experts have called Len for the big league for the past two or three years and it seems as if the National League scouts have been taking note of his performances with the Millionaires this vear. High School Basketball (Girls Make Nice Win, 45â€"5 Len Godin, former Timmins hockey player, now with the groupâ€"winning Kirkland Lake Millionaires, will proâ€" bably finish out the season with his team, he told The Advance while in Timmins after their victory over South Porcupine on Monday night.

Proulx put the loâ€" cals one goal up on a nice shot Taylor getting the assist. The second period opened slowly with Kirkland Lake pepping up as play proâ€" gressed to take and hold the limelight. The first line of McKinnon, Swaze and Cook played spectacular hockey, outâ€" skating and checking relentlessly. They were rewarded early in the frame when Cook slipped the rubber behind Esseltins to tie the game and the round.
