All told, han 100 feet considerably It is to be hoped that Mr. Findlay is wrong in his prediction. The MA.A. A., one of the oldest and most reâ€" spected bodies of its kind in Canads, has refused to follow the present trend. Consequently it has found itself in the Isn‘t It True? W. E. Findlay, formerly a president of the Montreal Amateur Athlstic Asâ€" sociation and a really great man where amateur sport was concerned, hit the nail on the head the other day when he said "Amateurism as we know it in the past is gone. It is not coming back. The youth of toâ€"day is saturated with commercialism." Some salesman did a good job in Timmins. No only will the members of the winning team in the N.O.H.A. senicr hockey group have individual shields after the closs of this season, but the championship ladies‘ bowling team will have similar tbronze and and wood shields. The ladies‘ shtelds don‘t show a couple of rugged hockey players though, but have a bowling pin emblem at the top. Timmins merâ€" chants donated them and they‘rs> on display with the cther bowling troâ€" phies at the Stevens alleys. Olympic Team So the Halifax Wolverins:s "weren‘t available" to represent Canada at the Olympics! â€" And the honour goes to the Port Arthur Bearcats who are still intact. It used to be considered quite a thing to be able to represent the Doâ€" minion in the world‘s championship amateur games. Hockey is the one sport in which Canada has so far been able to holid the rest of the world at bay but her prestige is slipping, there‘s no doubt of that. True, it may be because so many Canadians are playing in the newer British, French, German and Czechoâ€"Slovakian leagues but then that‘s no reason why the country that gave the game to th= world should lie down on the job. Were the Wolverines so good that the majority of their players were taken fnto professional hockey? Or is the team broken up because it never was really a Halifax team? It‘s known that they did lose at least two players to the big league, among them Ron. Hudson, the Timmins lad who is on the Detroit Redwings team. Totals . 986 Advance win 4 pomts J. Gagnon _ C.

The third game was a queer one: firs; one ttam would gather a few eggs then it would switch to the other but the point went to the printers.

Through a system of proxies, to which the Ontario and Q@uebec branches object strenuously but withcut avail, the Maritimes ‘branch has controlled the federation for the past two years.

The ball park, aside from the rink, is far from ideal, although it is hoped that improvements will be made. There is a crying need for decent heated dressing rooms; for decent sanitation ‘and a few othsr things that could be | had at very moderate cost. Outdoor Rink is Larger and Better Lighted Than Before Real QO‘dâ€"timer in Charge Ed. Gauthier, who looked after the market this summer, is in charge of the rink this yoar. He is already running into trouble, trying to keep overâ€"anxiâ€" ous boys and girls off the 1ink until it is completed. Mr. Gauthier was perhaps the first iceâ€"maker in the Porcupine. He was in this part of the country before there was any Holling:r mine and when Dome was just a prospect. He‘d been making ics in Haileybury before he North in 1509 and walked in to the Porcupine along with some of the earliest arrivals. He‘s done a lot of presp=cting since that time but he still does a good job of making ice. If he gets the coâ€"ougration he desorves from those who use the rink this winter, there should be no trouble at all about The town has really done a fine job on the one skating rink they have erected in the ball park this year. Alâ€" though the ice surface is not yet quite ready, it will be completed within a few days now and town league hockey can get under way before Christmas, if the so desire. j * It‘s 180 feet long and 70 feet wide, this new ice surface. The "boards" are made of two by sixes, plenty strong enough to stand all the punishmtnt they‘ll be given. Fivo strings of lights will illuminate the place at night, comâ€" pared with the three strings that were used last winter A base of five inches of sawdust and an initial ice surface four inches in should make the new rink just should make the new rink just about ideal for an outdoor affair. A schedule will be announced shortly showing at what times and on what days the rink is available for various activities.
