When the writer was about to put the head of this column in the "hell bex" last week, another compositor said: ‘"Don‘t do that. you can surely use it after Saturday night." Wny tell tales out of school! The party broke up before midnight, everyone having had a gcod time. The dainty refreshments were préeâ€" pared by Mrs. Gagnon and the boys Alfie amused the boys with some fine step dancing, not to mention his fine experience as a drug clerk. You stick to lunches, Alfie:; they‘re easier to mix. There was only one short lull in the evening and that was when car across the street took a notion on all six that it would join the party but missed the house and woke up the neighbours two doors away by knocking over their verandah. The boys got back to their singsong with Mr. Devine tickling the ivories for the evening. Mr. Gagnon and Mr. Leach spoke for their respective teams, Gamble‘s and T. N..0. L Refreshments and singsong were in order for the rest of the evening (if you want banjo or piano players, or a good step dancer, the boys have them. Also one good magpie, no, it‘s not Army.â€"advt. As for singers, "we ain‘t no zot.") Mr. Guidice, a newcomer to the league this seascn, said that even thcugh he had been on a losing team, it was "l0ts of .fun," and he hoped he could play for The Advance next year. Mr. Gagnon and Mr. Leach spoke for their respective teams, Gamble‘s and It was good to see Teddy and Bert were able to find the place this year and bring along the ban}jo. A ~new â€"musician was discovered among the boys when Grant Eddy started to strum the banjo all on his lonesome. The next round of pleasure was at the home of Mr. and Mrs. F. J. Hornby, Bannerman avenue. In giving the toast to the league, Mr. J. W. Faithful said it was very nice of Mr. angqg Mrs. Hornby to open their home for the third time so that the league could enjoy themselves. As a token of appreciation he presented Mr. and Mrs. Hornby with a fruit bowl trimmed with sterling silver. He said he hoped the league would continue as in the past. In presenting the cup to Gamble‘s, he said nothing would have pleased him more than if he had been presenting it to The Advance team, for they had been the best of sports in playing a losing game all seaâ€" son. The final curtain was rung down on the Commercial Bowling League on SBaturday last when about 20 ‘sowlers gathered at Steven‘s bowling alleys and rolled a couple of games. The boys thanked Mr. Stevens for the fine service given throughout the season and for the alleys on Saturday night. Before leaving. a collection was made for the pinâ€"boys. "Too early to tell anything yet," said Art Mattson, manageor of the new Timâ€" mins outfit, "this is the boys‘ first time out and they‘re still a little rusty." He definitely has hopes though, of turning out a good team. ..«From what little was to be seen yesâ€" terday, Hollinger should be far from the bottsm of the heap when the final game is ‘played next fall.

While the actual deâ€" monstration was very ably given by the Boy Sccuts, Scoutmaster O. E. Andrew added to the effectiveness and interest of the lesson by his excellent talk to the pupils on first aid work. His address caught the attention of the pupils and will have lasting results in spurring interest and -th.ought along first aid lines. SENTENCE OF DEATH UPHELD THOUGH NO CORPSE PRODUCED All members of the Timmins Cricket Club and. those who desire to join are asked to be at the pavilion on Sunday, May 19th. As this is to be the first game of the coming season, a good turnout of players is specially desired. The wickets will be pitched at 1.45 p.m. Play will commence at 2 o‘clock promptly. If the weather is unfavourable to play it is proposed to have a general meéting, as there are several important ‘matters to be attended to before the gcames commence.

This is quite true, but since the clubs concerned have not yet applied for affiliation this year, there doesn‘t seem to be any course of acâ€" tion open. It is not the first time that a club has "defaulted" on handing over to the N.O.W.S.A. the share of the take from the finals, for which the constituâ€" tion calls, According to the Northern News of Kirkland Lake, it is still very doubtful whether the team in quesâ€" tion even wants to enter this year. It was a costly season for the teamâ€"the manager in particular. Probably all the gate receipts were used in traveolling expenses. The point remains, however, that any team â€" taking â€" affiliation with the N.O.W.S.A. agrees to honour its conâ€" stitution. Other finalists have been down on the seasOon before this and to some extent the Sudbury kick is justiâ€" fied. But they needn‘t blame the exéecuâ€" tive of the N.OW.SA. The officers have done everything in their power to try to make collections but right now there‘s nothing they can do. If no club is in existence then no debts can b paid. The solution might be to make managers of softball teams legally reâ€" sponsible for the debts of their team but since that hardly savours of sportsâ€" manship, it won‘t likely be done. The only hold the N.O.W.S.A. has on the club is to refuse it affiliation for the 1935 season, or any following ones, unâ€" til the indebtedness is cleared up. This will be done, The Advance has been given to understand. The course of acâ€" tion was taken once before in the hisâ€" tory of the association and the team and tewn involved have not since been allowed to enter. At any rate, Sudbury could not have heen very serious in the reported atâ€" Lempt to place their own executive on the NO.WSA. for it states quite clearly in the constitution that nominaâ€" cions for Oofficeo must be in the hands Of the secretary two weeks before the annual meeting. Then when none of the Nickel Belt "enthusiasts" made an appearance at the annual mgeting, it certainly looked as if their enthusiasm had become lukewarm, to say the least. After all, the assOciation is just as much Sudbury‘s as it is anyone else‘s, and if they‘re really interested in the affairs of the governing body, they should turn up at the annual meetâ€" ings, E ht on ie in i en dn cce c . 0 t The Canadians and their f opponents follows: Edward Innes, Montreal, v ner, Aldeburgh, D.

Newsy‘s Successor Played Here Billy Boucher, who turned pro after playing the 1920 hockey season with Iroquois Falls, is to ‘be the new coach of Les Canadiens, so it‘s said. The team is to remain in Montreal for another four years, according to an agreement JjJust drawn up with the Forum. Boucher has always been a hero to Canadion supporters, even though he did cross the line during recent years. It looks as if Newsy Lalonde will be with Proâ€" vidence in the minor league this year. Girls‘ Softball Needs Help Big subject of conversation at the anâ€" rual meeting of the Porcupine Ladies‘ Softball Association the other night was:â€"uniforms.
