Second Game of Schedule To Reveal Porcupine Power When the second game * the TBXL northern division schedule is played this afternoon it will very prchably provide an answer to the ques:ion: "What has South End gâ€"t this year?" The game will is played at South Porcupine against the leagueâ€"leading Hollinger squadâ€"leading by virtue of the fact that is won the first game of the season from the . M*Intyre, by a score ¢(f three runs to one. Senese, smoothâ€"workingz pitcher who was the mainspring@ of the 1939 Scuth Porcupine squad, will not be on the mound today when the referee says: "Play ball." Nor will "Wink" Dowling or Long. On the Porevuine pitching staff is hervever, "Lofty" Gower, who earned undying local fame last year by pitchâ€" inz a noâ€"hit game. Many of the ball enthusiasts predict thal Gower, if he starts off well, will have a good season. He showed flashes of sersational form last year at times throughout the geason. Moreau, who last year broke his leg during a game at the Porcupine park, will very likely be on the lineâ€"up again tomorrow. His leg is mended and earlier this summer he stated that it felt strong and that he hoped to be aiole to play ball. Practices have been held regularly this spring in the South End park. There have beeon plenty of appincants tryir‘z for positions and temorrow, when the South Enders meet the Holâ€" linger, which already has established itsoelf as a hardâ€"hitting team, the test will come.

Indications are that the meet in North Bay may develop into a "houseâ€"cleaning" event. Player Pilfering to be Probed at Meeting, June 8 The Northern Baschall Association will hold a meeting in North Bay on Saturday, June 8, to iron out difficulties that have arisen between that group and the Ontario Baseball Association as a result of a resent move by the Wrightâ€"Hargzreaves. club of Kirkland Lake, it has been announced by Tom RBirney of Copper Cliff, president of the NB A. C Mixed Twoâ€"Ball Pursome Feature of the Day. ‘Tom Frair of North Bay, NBA secrelary, stated this mcorning that he had not heard details of the new dis pute, but that he expected a meeting would be called for June 8. It is reworted that the gathering has been brouzht about by the action of the Kirkland Lake group, who sent an envcy to Toronto over the weekâ€"ond and allegedly "stole" two players alâ€" ready signed by a Toronto ball cluh. The two are Art Terry, pitcher, and Infielder Bud Harrison, koth of the Parkdale Derbys. The southern who have their eye cn an interâ€"city bassbhall league erorvn, cbjected to the deal to the Onâ€" tario Baseball Association, and suspenâ€" sion of the two players followed imâ€" mediately. sSirch ‘"pilfering‘‘ of players is conâ€" trary to the agreement between the provincial and northern ball assozciaâ€" The O.BA. has a residence rule of MaÂ¥eh 15 and the N.BA., for spevial reasons of its own, has drawn the line at May 31. An agreement has been in force, hewever, that the N.B.A. will not stage any "swipes" of southern men after the March 15 deadline. In return the O.B.A. protects northern clubs in the case of players wishing to jump to the South. Basetall clzbs in all parts of the province are watching with keen interâ€" est for developments in the case to go before the meeting on June 8. Secretary Frair stated he had notified the Kirkland Lake club that if Harriâ€" son and Terry have signed with any northern team, they are under suspenâ€" sion. They cannot be played in any game until the whole matter has been ironed out at the N.B.A. meeting. First game ¢f the T.BL. northern division schedule to be held in Timmins will be played at the Hollinger field on Wednesday afternoon. In this game the McIntyre and Hollinger will meet for the second time this season. In the first game the Hollinger‘s heavyâ€"hitting nine smashed out eight hits against McShane to win 3 to 1. Hollinger Nine Plays Host to McIntyre Wednesday Meets South Porcupine This Afternoon ie in o0 omm mm mm + Lo in mm cce smm mmz tm o h was served Settinz a new MGiill interscholastic pecord at Molson Stadium,. Monireal, on Friday, Leoa Bundiera, of Timmins, comrx«"s4 in the 18th Dominicn and 3th MeGill interscholastice track and field meet. Bantiera hurled the shot 47 feet and oneâ€"quarter irch to set the new mark. In adidition, he came second in the intermediate 120 yard low hurdles. In this race the winner set a new record. While it was intended to limit the: stay in Timmins to one week only, thc: poptilar call for a longer stay was . pressed upon the manaigement with the result that the people of the district have the cpportunity to attend the show any time this week. Those who. have already visited Gray‘s will no] dovibt take the canche to visit it again‘ â€"and likely again and againâ€"while those who missed it last week will have the orportunity to pay a visit this week | during the extersion of its stay here. Gray‘s expect that while the attend-' ance last week was large, there will e a sitill bigger group at each show during the present week. One of the extra special features of Gray‘s Mighty Midways this year is the reisular appearance each evening of the ' noted aerial artist, La Georgette. Whilel the thrilling act put on by the beautiful La Georgette is down on the programi‘ as a free feature, it never fails to hold the crowds at the show. Few who have once seen this act, or even merely heard it described, will wish to miss it. L is not exagzersticn to describe it as a "deathâ€"defyinz‘"‘ act, Because it apâ€" pears to be little short of this. Each evening this week, La Georgetiie will present this dangercus number and few will watch it without experiencing a genuine thrill. The programs desâ€" criige the azct as "The Human Tosoggan Slide." La Georgette does many thrillâ€" ing aerial acts, but none as daring and dangercus as ‘this one. From a mast high in the air she dives into a sort of wsoden trouzh or tcbhazzan, skimming along its surface and apoarently fiying out of the other ond of the treugh or tchozgan. The tobaggan slide is made of hardwood, and it resuires the most perfect timing and judginz of distance to hit it from the high mast at the exâ€" ‘act angle, so that the curve may be taken without injury to the diver. The slightest miscalculation â€" apparently would mean sserious injury to the daring aerialist. Even with the remarkâ€" Bandiera Adds to Laurels With New Shot Record Gray‘s Midway to Remain This Week at the Riverside Human Toboggan Slide One of the Thrilling Features. "Toboggan Slide" will likely hold first place for interest and thrill. TS is the same with other features of the midâ€" wayâ€"while one particular section will make special appeal to some, the genâ€" eral interest ef the show as a wheole will always appear to fully warrant general al:tendance. seise, and makes the grade each time without serious misadventure. It is not too much to say, however, that no one ever watches this act without getting a big thrill from it. Huntsville Forester: â€" What a surâ€" prise two girls from Cincinnati will get when they visit Canada this year. They are planning a trip by way of Montreal, Ottawa, North Bay, Callandâ€" er and Muskoka, and "wonder if the roads through Muskoka are safe for two girls to travel, as they have been advised that Indians may become feroâ€" cicus." Yes, what a surprise they‘ll get when they find that our Indians are mot ferocious, and we will give them a premium of ten per cent for their money. Many will be delighted with the other aerial acts of La Georgette, though the asljle skill of La Georgette there are times when minor injuries are not avoided and she bears the marks of these occasions when the tobaggan slide was not taken with the absolute acâ€" curacy that seems essential to its sutcâ€" cess. The drop to the tchoggan is fully fortyâ€"five feet, according to the manâ€" agement of the show, and to make this arep and to safely manipulate the curves of the wooden slide and emerge unharmed at the other side requires an amazing amount of skill, Fortunateâ€" ly La Georgaite has the required abiliâ€" ity, along with perfect time and space THT PORCUPTYNTE AaDVANCTE, TTMMINS3, ONTARITO Sudbury to Pioneer Night Ball in North Suciscry, May 31â€"Sudbury is to plonesr nizht baseball in Northern Onâ€" tario.

Findlay, Szholes, Fasco, Deliberate Attempt by Hitler to Destroy Confidence in Gold How many stop to think HMilâ€" ler would be almost certain to win the war if the United States ceased to accept gold and to pay for it at the rate of $35 the ounce? He realizes, of course, that were the faith of the American people and other nations in gold destroyed, a panic would seize the commercial world. Not only would the Allies be deprived cf their chief access to daollar exchang$, but America itself, with the value of its gold in question would "enjoy" such a panic as never before was known here or anywhere else. Not that Hitler seriously has any doubt as to the value of this precious metal. He has tried desperately to get a hoard of it, knowing how well it can serve his purpose. If he had in his vaults the gold that is in American safeâ€"keeping, his ability to win the war would be 5o assured that resistance to him would cease. Other nations have faith in gold. That is why the threatened neutrals have rushed it to this country for safeâ€" keeping. The Swedes are jubilant at the thought that they were able to get so much of their gold reserve safely across the ocean and to give it Ameriâ€" can dcmicile. Helps the Poles The expatriated Polish government is still able to maintain representation abroad because it managed to save a large part of its gold reserve. There is nothing that Hitler wants more than gold. He will go to any iengths to get it, because he knows that it commands a price anywhere, not alone in commoditiee and supplies of all kinds, but also in loyalties. It seems that men can still be bribed ar the progeny of Benedict Arnold still are active no matter what lanâ€" guage they may speak. It may be that gold will be demonâ€" etized. That has occurred to a certain extent already. But note that governâ€" ments consider gold so valuable that they have taken it out of circulation. know its basie worth. Moreover, if Hitlee thought gold so little value, why did he protest violently against this manoeuvre the Poles?

From Hoyle last week came the folâ€" lowing account of the honour paid to Private Leo Latendresse, formerly of Hoyle and more recently living in Timâ€" mins:â€" On Sunday evening. on very brief notice, a farewell gathering of one hundred and fifty persons was held in the Hoyle Community hall for Private Leo Latendresse of the Royal Canaâ€" dian Engineers, who is shortly transferred to Halifax going over to England. Private Latendresse is a Hoyle boy, having until recently spent his life in Hoyle. He is a son of Charles Latenâ€" dresse and the late Mrs. Latendresse, for many years esteemed residents of Hoyle. Early last winter the family moved to Timmins, where Leo joined Company of the Algonquin Regiâ€" ment, later transferring to the Royal Canadian Engineers. During the evening at Hoyle pleasâ€" inz and appropriate addresses were made by s2veral Hoyle citizens. Singâ€" ing and other music rounded out an evening of mutual intersst and enjoyâ€" ment. Private Latendresse was able to spend only a very few hours with his Hoyle friends, and for this reason the customary formality of address and presentation to the guest of honour was not carried through in formal way. However, an impromptu collection was taken and a neat sum presented as a token of goodwill and best wishes for Hoyle‘s popular young soldier. So far as can be learned Pte. Latendresse is the first young man from Hoyle to enlist for overseas service in the preâ€" sent war. Hoyle, has, however, quite a number of men who si>rved in the war of 1914. to 1918, some in the infantry, some in the artillery and scme in the Intelligence Service. These men now, of course, are past the age limit for ordinary service in the forces, but are all anxious to do anything they may be able to do at home, and if occaâ€" sion arises it will be found that they will give a good account of themselves in any service they may undertake for Canada or the Empire. In theory impregnable, its power has been absolute, century after century, irrespective of forms of government or any human action. Men have fought for it and died for it. The love of it, so it was recorded long ago, is the source of all evil. Hitler may be now subtly trying to destroy the faith of mankind in gold. just as he has sought to destroy its faith in God, or in anything except force, tut, if he should win this war, it may be taken for granted that his eyes will be looking longingly toward Fort Knox. Two things the British surely haveâ€" ships and gold. Hitler cannot get rid of British ships by propagzanda, but h* cbviously thinks that he has at least a chanzse of destroyingzg the worlds faith in Britain‘s other major asset, gold. After all, American gold, in credit form, financed the industrial plant through which Hitler has been able to construct his great war machine. Were the United States willing, now. to put the gold back into circulation, it would not 5e "unloaded" on the servant girls. Sudbury Star:â€"When it has to, Briâ€" tain swaps a horse in midstream, and izations have waxed and waned, fAisods have come and tempests and earthâ€" quakes, but the value of gold has surâ€" vived . the buggy of Play. as well \ Wellâ€"Known Cobz{t Man _ Jnjured When Feam Bolts Jack Parcher, son of the late Chief Parcher of Ccbait, sustained a fracâ€" tured skull and other injuries last week when the team he was driving on a road construction job near Temagaimi became frightened and ran away. He was taken to Haileybury hospital where an operation was found necessary at once. Formal Opening of Ladies‘ Section of Timmins Golf Club The formal opering of the Ladies‘ Section of the Golf Club tcok place on Friday afternoon, when a large number of the members joined in the twoâ€"ball foursome. * Winners of the low gross were Mrs. Lafcontaine and Mrs. Leeman and winners of the low net were Mrs. Porter and Mrs. Chenier. 4 Aifter the play, afternoon tea was served, and announcement made of next week‘s play, which will take the form of a hidden hole competition. In the most recent issue of the picâ€" llorial publication "Life" were tiwo phctographs, by examination of which a smart man could learn a great deal sljout Hitler and his war machine and the typ2s and temper of those who would not have Adolf run the earth entirely his way.

One picture pontrays the Chiancelior, grim visaged and dour, standing among nine lieutenants of the parachute sorps, as "the most terrifying trocps of his super army." The men‘s uniforms are alike in every minute detail; they appear to have been deâ€" sizned for the maximum of efficiency. More than their uniforms are alike, however.

The only uniform thing in the picturs is the smiles on the faces of the eleven fliers. Allowing for prejudice in their favour, it is very evident that these are a different type of men. There is strength in their faces but there is some indication of gentility also. They have couragecus faces but along with c3urage, it would seem, there is a saving sense of humour. % °® 4# (.. ’.}.... % °% °* _ % "% [afs At * . d * # # ness in their makeâ€"up. It would not be zood to ‘be ruled by men of so little imagination. The men of the latter group, it has 3seen proven time and again in the last war and in this, are ‘better, man for man, than the Germans. They are more reckless and more daring in the air, and on the ground, better and more enterprising fighters. Last week the men of the air force had a huge job to do almost singleâ€" handed. OCutnumbered in the air they were forced to hold their own there while assisting in land operations. As longz and as often as hearts and lungs and nerves could stand it they rose to jaitle the German bembers, to bemb rear line and mechanized column. They are tough these men of the RAF. and it has been good for us that they are. Cripps lblasted Russia. On the same day USS.R. Premier Molotoff wired Cripps asking him to come to Moscow. Cripps sent the text of his blast to MolotofI and asked if the inviMation still was open. Molotoff sent a plane for the Englishman. Sir Stafford Cripps is England‘s most brilliant lawyer, represents many of the nation‘s corporationsâ€"but he also is a sincere left winger. He was too leftish even for the Labouw Party, which expelled him last year. Cripps was in New York three weeks ago just having completed a roundâ€"theâ€" world tour which took him to India, Japan and China. When he was in China, Russia invaded Finland and Sir Stafford Cripps, who has been sent to Moscow to try to wean the Reds away from the "Ratzis," is proâ€" Sally the Englishman best suited to the task.
