With the coming of fine weatheor again, a lot of the football lads have been getting itchy feet. They‘re often to be seen in the park getting into shape for the big season that‘s coming up in the P.DF.A.

Entries were numerous and the play throughout the week was very interâ€" esting. Last Event of the Season at the Badminton C l u b Proves of Great Interest. â€".list of Winners. Now for the, Juniors But the big senior league alone will never really make ball in this part of the North. Timmins is getting to be somewhat like an Old Ontario town in some ways. Lots of lads who were born here are no#w 18 and 20 years old. Plenty of others have never known anâ€" other place as their home tOown. The TBL.‘s offer to aid junrlior baseball is an encouraging sign, for it‘s through junior teams toâ€"day that interest in a sport can be greatly increased. Real homeâ€"brewed talent gets a larger proâ€" portion of the residents of any town behingq the game than any number of famous imports. Boys in Timmins have just as many mustles as in any other pant of the country. They have just the same desire to play ball and there should be no difficulty in finding a gosod place for the sport. What‘s to hinder this town of 17,500 people from turning out an honestly local team that can stack up well against one from any other place of equal size in the provâ€" ince? Winners in Final Badminton Tourney The two baseball factions in Timmins and district seem to be pulling pretty well together right now: The suggested wideâ€"flung intermediate league blew up completely over the weekâ€"end when Iroquois Falls threw in their lot with the senior league. It was known from the first that Dome would go with the Falls, so that left the town league without a start. Even if Hollinger fails to enter a team in the big league, there will be no town league this year â€"that seems almost certain. Those who were ‘backing the idea are quite conâ€" l Bury the Hatchet l g tent now to give the senior loop anâ€" cther whirl. All either side claimeg to want was to see some improvement in basesall in the North. Now they‘ve got a possible nineâ€"team league for the summer. Seven are sure entries and that‘s some bettsr than the 1934 salute. Timmins ‘ball fans might get a big surprise if a Hollinger team is fielded this year. The town is not absolutely lacking in ball talent, as was proved last year. But since then, there have been some players with a fair amount of ability who have come to town. Two or three of the students from univerâ€" sity who arrived in the camp are supâ€" posed to be good. There‘s Arch Kirkâ€" land, for instance, who is at the Holâ€" lingsr and whose prowess as a ball player has followed him, but of whom the sponsors of a Hollinger team in the T.BL. did not know. Who knows? There might be a whole young team somewhere aroung if they could only] be found.

Thanks and Appreciation Given by St. Mary‘s Hospital In a letter received this week St. Mary‘s hospital, Timmins, expresses sincere thanks to Mrs. C. M. Boutin and Mrs. C.

"Poland in loyalty to King GeOrge V," well describes their feelings, rememberâ€" ing 1918 when England had contributed to the restoration of the independence of the republic of Poland, a growing and progressive nation. The float repâ€" resenting the restored Poland and its navy and its happy subjects in their colourful costumes was beautifully decâ€" crated with green trees and the comâ€" bined flags. A numerous group of the Polish people orderly marching folâ€" lowed the float in honour to His Majesty King George V. All this has been done through the joint efforts and coâ€"operation of the members of the Polish White Eagle Society as an ¢xâ€" pression of loyalty to His Majesty. They remember what ought not to bo forgotten. WORK TO COST $600,000 NOW ANNOUNCED ON TRANSâ€"CANADA Nature has favoured the celebration of the Silver Jubilee of His Majesty King George V, and the planned preâ€" parations have been awarded by it in the first place. It was the greatest splendour that has ever hbeen disâ€" played in the history of the Tawn of Timmins. The various nationalities have done their best in joining the parade, Among them the Polish White Eagle SOciety has distinguished itself remarkably by its ostentatious Polish cavalry with its horses so well selected. It is that traditional respect for the significance of the Polish cavalry sensed by the nation, memories of which reach back as far as 1683 when the Polish King Jan Sosieski defeated the Mohammedan Turks at Vienna, and thus saved the Christian faith from their conquest, the faith of which the King is defender.
