This year‘s girl softball prospects in the North are far from being ‘bright. Even in the Porcupine there seoms to be an urusual lack of interest. But the Northern Ontario Women‘s Boftball Association is hit hardest by the apathy. The resignations of Miss Mamie Borland, president, ana Miss Gladys Gigg, of North Bay, secretary, will be in before the annual meeting, to be helq on May 9th at North Bay. Miss Borlard will not even attend the meeting, she told The Advance last week, According to N.O.N nominations for offi been in before this. not a single name on something â€" urexpect death an amateu gong.

Trouble ras been expgrienced on more than one occasion with Kirklard Lake and Sudbury clubs who have failed to live up to their membershin agreements. Sometimes it has bheen in regard to the association‘s share of gate receipts from final games; sometimes it has been registration. Should the N.O.WS.A. fail completeâ€" ly to function, the North will once again come under direct regulation by the Provincial union. This will undoubtâ€" edly be inconvenient to teams wishing interâ€"group playoffs. For a parting shot this column wishes all the boys the best until next October Did anybody see Teddy Towers? Yes! love is grand but it always has its afterâ€"effects. Death of Fourâ€"yearâ€"old Son of Mr. and Mrs. O. Gagnon had to change a part of his usual good spsecth from: ‘"There‘s nothing that I would like to see better than The Adâ€" vangce to win the cup." ‘"IG gives me great pleasure to see The Advance win the cup." The printers claim Jack won the cup, so who did win it? Army‘s questionnaire was a hit of the evening. It was nice to see Alvin back in harâ€" ness again.

The boys then presenteg Mr. Hornby, in the absence of Mrs. Hornby, with a gift for the use of their home. After a dainty lunch prepared by mis. Gagnon most of the boys disâ€" persed, the rest remaining to the wee small hours of the morning with a singâ€" song. Mr. B. McQuarrie gave selections on the ban}jo, not forgetting the stepâ€" dancing by Mr. Alton. In closing Mr. Faithful said, to show appreciation for the good sportsmanâ€" ship of The Advance team he would buy a little gift for each of the five boys. He called and donated the gift this morning and the boys are certainly pleased. Mr. Gagnon then presented the cup to Mr. Lake who showed with a broad smile how pleased he was his boys had finally won out. He spoke a few words on receiving the cup. Mr. Stevens said he was pleased the boys enjoyed themselves and he was always willing to do all he could to help them on. Mr. Toal, captain of the T. N. O. team, spoke a few words of praise for The Advance team and said it was the best tram in the league. Mr. Armstrong read out a questionâ€" Mr. Hornby responded by saying The Advance didn‘t win the cup, but it was the good coaching of Mr. FPaithful on Friday that won it for them. He said he was glad the boys had won the cup after so many years bowling and next year they were going to win both series. The four teams met at Stevens‘ bowlâ€" ing alleys at 730 and rolled a couple of games. Mr. Stevens kindly donated the alleys for the boys to have their last jibe at each other. After bowling, the boys adjourned to the residence of Mr. arnd Mrs. F. J. Hornby for the banquet. The Commercial Bowling League closed its season on Saturday night with the usual banquet.

Commercial Bowling Banquet on Saturday Following the basketbhall game, a brief period of dancing brought a higly suceessful evening to a close. Plans to be Made for Mariners Clubhouse Kirkland Lake High School‘s girls‘ basketball tcam came out from hbhehind a 14â€"7 score at half time to defeat Timâ€" mins High and Voscational School 34â€"17. The Jocal girls had little trouble in winâ€" ning the first half and it began to look like an easy victory. Early in the third quarter, Kirkland really got down to werk and when thsy got an advantage, pressed it for all it was worth. At the rest before the seginning of the last they had a fourâ€"point leaq with the board showing 18â€"14. Plans for a clubhouse will be the big subject of discussion at a meeting on Wednesday night of all those interested in boating in the Timmins district when the Mattagami Aquatic and Boating association holds its annual meeting. Room 8, Gordon Block is the plaze chosen for the gathering and a good turnout of boating enthusiasts is asked. ‘The time set is 7.30. The assockation did much last year in bringing pressure to bear on authoriâ€" ties, through representations to the governmen:t, to have the Mattazami kept free of dangerous lozs and in arranging to have a clear channel through booms. The movement is worâ€" thy of ‘the support of all those who use the river either for business or pleaâ€" sure, since it offers the only medium through whictch the wishes of the "sailors" can be voiged. Despite an attempted rally, the loâ€" cals succeeded in getting only three points in the last few minutes, while the Kirkland team made six, to win the game 24â€"17.

Last year it lost $175. No it‘s got a 1i$170 surplus acâ€" cording to the Northern News. Lou Irvine, known here as a baseball coach, but active in many other junior sports as well, claims that the men behind the ageâ€"limit sport in Teck township have invested just about $5,000. Now it‘s sitâ€" ting pretiy. Anything Can Happen Abitibi is still uncertain. If they do enter a team, it will be of much higher calibre than last year‘s; that much has been guaranteed ‘by baseball executives in Iroquois Falls Even if the paper town fails to come in, the three team loop with Dome, McIntyre and Ho!â€" linger should provide injeresting ball. But if neither the Abitibi nor Hollinger enter, the series of gamss setween Dome and McIntyre won‘t be cven as attracâ€" tive as last vear‘s league was. Things look brigh‘erâ€"much brighter â€"on the Ilozcal baseball horizeon. There may be nothing definite to announce for the next few days, Sportâ€"Ore has been told,‘ kut when an annsuncement is made, it‘s likely to be interesting. The meeting on Friday nighi, alâ€" though not the great it might have been, showed one thing quite clearly; baseball interest in Timmins is far from being dead. Possibly the worst aspect of the whole thing is that it was left until so late in the spring. Had it been known a month earlier that things would take the turn they did, the difficulties might have been a good deal more easily overâ€" come. As it is, Hollinger may yet have a good entry in the T. B. L. one capâ€" able of standing up there with the rest of the clubs and handing it right back. If they don‘tâ€"well, it should be a good indication to those interested in baseâ€" ball that thinking about ball games must begin before the ice is out of the river.
