Anothez reâ€"arrangement of players didn‘t hglp the Macs any. Their midâ€" field passing was good, but the forward line was definitely not working in harmenry,, p . ; Weqher Coolâ€"Field Bad . The.weather was just about right for :.the players, but a bit on the cool side for tné,“specxators. The field was only fair in spots and bad in others, Two / _ _large puddles at the south end slowed play considerably at time, made the ball sodden and spoiled many a good forwarg,_mpvement Unue.l tricd hard to make a few more while they had the Macs at their mercy, but the defence line stiffened and the game endeg without further i .scorip_g‘.: A. * % 1t \iacs Had Play From the beginning, the Macs had a big advantage. During almost the <nâ€" tire half, the McIintyre backs had very little work to do. Brockbank touched thke. ball only once or twice during the . thirty minutes played. Midâ€"field play was pz;et.ty but slow at times,. Hendry had a â€"good hard shot that brought Gaw to his knees to be followed in a few seconds by Reg Dunstan. ¢: Thélch ]immm United took a possessivh®‘â€"Of the ball more, but their work near the net was woefully weak. Passes went straight to McIintyre men time after time. After an accurate corner kick by. Jackson, Morrison apâ€" peared to be well on the way to clearing: when Jackson tackled to recover the half W ‘ié centred to Jackson. He came take the rebound and Brockbank made a rsal save. . .and Jackson made the first rsal break for Timmins. Jackson made a nice try from off balance, ‘but was high. _ Rodgers, on in the second for the Macs had several triecs at the net, but failegq to make any of them good. McWhinnie playegq an active game at back and twice before the half endâ€" ed, stopped hard shots they reached Gaw and cleared before the full force of the McIntyre attack could be folt. ball. He centred to Johnson who triedtehsad in. The ball just missed the .upright > The tally that won the game was made near the cnd when Jackson and Johnson charged Brockbank as he was attempling to clear. They sore him and the ball into the fiet for one of the very fow gcals made in that manner this scason. Mcintyre‘s 5â€"0 win on Saturday night at the Mcintyre field.

A Great J¢b Begun The Kiwanis sport programme has been brought to a close, and hundreds of Timmins boys from six to sixteen will regret that it has. All summer long Reg Fisher, sngaged by the Kiâ€" wanis club to supervise local boys‘ sports, has been hard at his job. He had to be remarkably well informed in almost all branches of sport. Baseâ€" ‘ball, softbal, track and field, swimâ€" ming, and lacrosse were the "subjects" bhe taught, and taught well, as the reâ€" sults of the fisld day and the swimâ€" Northsrners have been taken for a ride again. Hear what The Sudbury Star has to say about the big boxing bouts staged there a week ago:; "Barâ€" num was right. There certainly must be one born svery minute. But there are 999 diedâ€"inâ€"theâ€"wool Sudbury and district »boxing fans who will never, never, be taken in again by the adâ€" vance notices of a "country‘s greatest promoter" and it will be many a long year before the gark vrown taste of last night‘s boxing show is eradicated from the mouths of Sudbury sporting enâ€" thusiasts." Playfair Brown was the man who brought the show to Sudbury, and he‘s rated as just about the best there is in the matching game in Canada. He, like so many beforehim, have thought they were coming to the sticks when they toted their gladiators ‘behind a wave of publicity that sounded like a real Madison Square Garden affair. They may have bsen coming to the sticks. But the sticks aren‘t what they used to beâ€"thanks to modern transâ€" portation and communications. The sconer the Toronto boys get over the that they can pull the wool over the eyes of small town sport fans, the better it will be for all concerned. So it‘s Frisdmans arid Schumacher in the softball playofifs. Schumacher had the big edge on the league right up to the finish, but the Friedman outâ€" fit came up strong at the last, tied league standing and lookeqd like just as gcod as a team as the smooth working team from the neighbouring town. The softball exscutive was relieved of a worrying question on Friday when Moneta fell before Dome 4â€"3 and deâ€" finitély ended their chancss of making playoff berth. The 12â€"2 Friedman victory over Schumacher last weekâ€"end is not indicative of the relative strength of the two teams at all. Playoffs beâ€" gin this wsekâ€"end and should attract a‘big crowd, if the weather is anyway decent. Rodgers, Bannerman, spares. Timmins United: Gaw, goal; Welsh, McWhinnic, backs; Nee, ; Bennstt, a final effort to tie, but couldn‘t Morrison, halves; Hendry, R. Dunstan, Btewart, Searle, E.

Dancing WEDNESDAY SATURDAY Schultz was the heaviest hitter on the Porcupine team, with 21 hits for 63 times at bat. This would have ratâ€" ed him even with Walter Coleman as sixth in the league. Hits and atâ€"bats were shown c0#ectly, but the average itself showed the wronk figures. The first mesting of the Timmins Girl Guides after the summer vacation is to be held on the second Friday of September, Friday of nsext week, Sept. 13th. After the hsiigays the Girl Guides will no deubt be specially anxiâ€" ous to resume their happy mestings, and to them Friday the thirteenth will be a lucky night because it will be a Girl Guide mseting night, the first of the series after vacation time. Miss Jean Cranston, captain of the Timmins ~Girl Guides, returned on Tuesday evening from a stay at the Giri Guide training centre for the Dominion at the camp near Ottawa. Miss Cranston learned m1uch of interâ€" est and value in regard to Girl Guide work in the Dominion at this training centre, and this will be an additiconal reason for the Girl Guides looking forâ€" ward to the resuming of their mestings as they know Miss Cranston will pass along to them anything new or interâ€" esting or helpful that is in Girl Guide work. Murray should have rated .328 instead of .213 as shown.

The beginning made this year has undou‘stedly done a tremendous amount of gcod in keeping Timmins boys ocâ€" cupie physically and mentally with healthful things. The continuance of the scheme through next year and the years after that will prove a lasting benefit to the town. Of all the fin: community projects undertaken by the Kiwanis club, this one aione has brought more youths into touch with good and healthy living than perhaps any other single activity.

Canadian Girl Wins Big Swim at Toronto worth Tr boat class. All season through, it lookeq like the two tsams that did finish on top would be matched against each other for the championship battle, until Friedmans hit a . slump from which it took them a ccuple of weeks to recover. Now, they‘re right up on the bit, and their perfcn‘m:amco against the big Kaplans team on Monday indicates that they‘re in the best of shape. Officials of the league announced yesterday that the final series would be two out of three gamss, the first to be. played at 2.30 this weekâ€"end and the next the following week, to begin half an hour csarlier, in case a double hsader is necessary to decide the winâ€" ner. schumacher, beaten only three times during the whole season, is fielding just as strong a team as ever and are called by a good many ball fans to win the trophy. When Friedmans and Schumacher meet this weekâ€"end at the cyanide in the first playoff game for the men‘s softkall championship of the district, there should be some of the best softâ€" ball played that has bsen seen here this season.

Miss Acres, the first Canadian girl ever to win the big swimmâ€"at Toronto, was coachsd by Marvin Nelson, and came up from second place to win. Miss Brien also made a sensational gain towards the end, leaving the swim‘s leader, Nell Hurley of Memâ€" phis, Tsnn., in third place with a time of 2 hours, 33 minutes, 10 seconds.

Few Spectators See Finish of Swimming Instruction Eefi%d o:(tl Mattagami Pool. Weather Chilly but Entry ist % e The weather was still chilly and few spectators attended, but those who did found much to surprise them. A deâ€" mcnstration of how Instructor Reg Fisher taught the younger lads to swim and be safe in the water was perhaps the most interesting thing of the day. Hughie Sheridan, aged 6, and Albert Fisher, aged 4, were the stars of the act. The*lads braved the chilly water famously and while Hughie took a nice header to begin the show, Albert show=~ ed the perfsct "belly flopper." They showed the "dead man‘s float," and a number of the other exercises they had learnsd, finishing off their part with a distance effort. It took three heats to decide the winner, but Hughie finally edged out his rival by a wave. Kiwanis Swim Meet Shows Youthful Talent in Action At any rate, Timmins people who are in any way interested in the great fall sport, are asked to attend an organiâ€" zation meeting in the town hall, toâ€" morrow (Friday) evening at 8.00 .p.m: when the plan for interâ€"town rugbyâ€" foctball will be discussed. McIntyre and South Porcupine already have the nuclei of organizations and when Timâ€" mins steps ‘into ‘the picture, a joint meeting will be called to organize a league.
