During the summer efâ€" forts will be made to reconcile the two sport bodies but it‘s doubtful if much progress will be made. The hockey moguls spoke their collective mind by though, it has a resilience that makes it foot easy. And the even black surâ€" face is easy on the eyes. Concrete, say most tennis players, is a little hardsr on the eyes andisabntoohard for ecmfort. A sixâ€"team softball league is about all that can be conveniently played here, And it‘s about all the Porcupine can supply with good players. It‘s to be hoped everything is settled amicably before one of the best sports in the Porcupine is spoiled. Football in Sudbury Now Down in the Nickel district where spring comes a few weeks earlier than it does in the golg fields, the football schedule gets under way on Wednesâ€" day of this week. Four teams make up this year‘s league: Frood, Falconbridge, Sudbury Football club, and Sudbury "Beveragemen." Play in the league and in the five cup contests:â€"McCrea, Evans, Star, Dominion and Ontaricâ€" will be completed on August 15th. Tennis Courts L. S,. Hodnett, secretary of the Kaâ€" puskasing Tennis club, and one of the games‘ topâ€"notchers in the North is reâ€" ported in the Northern News at Kirkâ€" land Lake as saying "Our own courts are constructed of some sort of shale, or crushed rock, and are satisfactory. Timmins has dirt courts which are very good but are hard to drain. McIntyre has cinder courts which are not very good. Shale seems to provide the best all around surface, owing to the fact that rain does not affect them to any great extent." €portâ€"Ore had a talk just a short while ago with a number of tennis players who had played in a good many places. Most of them hung out for asâ€" phalt, claiming it to be best except in very hot weather when it tends to beâ€" come just little too soft. Normally, There are other members of the Grads who should be on that lineup too. The former Tuxis boys have been out practising. These are the players who have already said they‘ll try to catch positions: catchers, Bill Dunn anrngq Bert Hornby; pitchers, Newtie Lejambe, Ray and George Wallingford, Stan Hass; infielders, Tony Beaulne, Bill Twaddle, Spider McKinnon; outfielders, Dan Marshall, Stu McKinnon, Don Mortson. The scramble is on. Softball team managers in the district league have received their player certificates and are busy with fountain pens persuading last year‘s stars to sign on the dotted line. By the end of this week the lineâ€" ups shoulg be fairly well known. From what some of the players have to say, some of the managers are in for a surâ€" prise when they start the sales talk. All is by no means quiet on the softâ€" ball front. The executive decided to allow six teams within the pale and thought they knew what the six teams would be. Now it appears there is a difference of opinion about whose one of the entries is. The name is Tuxis Grads and the $15 cheque that covered the entry fee is said to belong to the Tuxis Grads too, but it appears that some verbal agreements were made beâ€" tween the representative of the Timâ€" mins juniors. It also seems that thes2 arrangements were not satisfactory to the Grads club and they want to go along on their own, claiming they have a team that will be able to hold its own in the league. (By J. F. C.) Canada is blessed or cursed with a plethora of "Special Weeks;" in the majority of instanceis, this superabunâ€" dance of special promotional periods is 'rfspcnsible for only a moderate meaâ€" sure of success in bringing topical events ang particular products to the attention of the Canadian public. Only a few "weeks" have gained and held cutstanding nationâ€"wide popularity in this wild scramble for attention. A pionser in the field is Canadian ‘ Sperts Week; a decade ago, it came into being and prosably no "week" has mads such pointed and practical progress in its effortsâ€"efforts directed to promulâ€" gating the benefits of healthful play and recreation. 1a Sb : line. ups what some prise day period has gaincd annually in inâ€" fluence and results. Fach May, the newspaper world has been a potent facâ€" tor in giving the week Dominionâ€"wide significance; many ministers, sensing that a sound body makes for a sound soul, have delivered special "Sports Week" sermons on such subjects as Because of the spontaneous public response and the yearly coâ€"operation of press, pulpit and air lanes, the sevenâ€" The week of May 24th (this year May 23 to 30) is now nationally recogniz<d as Sports Week; designed to coincide with the official opening of the sumâ€" mer sports season, it yearly focusses atâ€" tention on the fact that "It Pays to Play"â€"the slogan of the world of sport. To broadeast the truth that acâ€" tual participation in games is a preâ€" requisite of a healthy mind in a healthy body, is the primary and tundament,al purpose of this period. Week of May 23 to 30 is Sports Week in Canada Sports Week is One of the "Weeks" lncreasing in Interest,| Importance and Value. "It Pays to Play" is the Slogan. Emphasis Given to the Healthful, Moral and (ultural‘ Sides of Sport.

Of course, there are no Chinese holdâ€"up men! Mail and Empire:â€"Mr. ssems to be about the most and publicizeq mister since of Mr. Gladstone. But if the other nations of the world (ard Sportâ€"Ore has more than one good authority fcor believing that the pracâ€" tice is followed on both sides of the Atlantic) are hypocritical enough to pay ‘"amateurs" on the sly, that‘s no reason why Canada should continue along the same path. Honsst citizens cannot be produced when athletic clubs (who are supposed to be cultivating fair play) insist on doâ€" ing dishonest things. How Gosod is Noranda? Ncranda promises a team in the T.B. L. southern section that will give the older Kirkland Lake teams a real run for the money. Und®r present arâ€" rangements, Kirkland clubs will pay their own expenses for games played in the Copper town, while the Quebec club will look after the expsnse of ercssing the border to Kirkland. stating quite definitely that they could see no reason why an amateur should not be paid for time lost from his job while taking part in games, if his club should desire to do that. Ang the hocâ€" key men can see no reason why proâ€" fessionals in one sport should not be permitted to mingle with amateurs in ancther. The Union men hold up their hands in horror at such a thought, and not without good reason. It seems that the whole rest of the world‘s amateur athletic unions refuse to permit payâ€" ment of "braoikgen time," nor will they allow mingling of professionals and amateurs. Canada will immediately become an outlaw, say the Union offiâ€" Clals. Interpret it how you willâ€""It Pays to Play." That will be the nation‘s slogan from Saturday, May 23rd, to Saturday, May 30th, when the 10th annual Canaâ€" dian Sports Week will mark a tribute to the true spirit of sport. of 1935 Sports Week clippings: "The value of sport to the world, the valus of sport to Canada is far from bseing fully understood even yet.

The slogan of the sports worlq is ‘It Pays to Play‘â€" pays not only in dollars and cents, but in the gaining of qualities and stanâ€" dards which canrot be reduced to the scale of mercenary measurement." In our national life, the spirit of true sportsmanship is necessary if we are to truly prosper. It was the English writer, Trevor Wignall, who said: "Sport means nothing when it is conâ€" cerrsd only with ‘the winning of an encounter; it is a very essential inâ€" gredient of life when it prompts, in the minds of the lowliest, the stern necesâ€" sity of playing the game." ports talks, szupplementsd by shor: spct" announc:scments.
