If a fourteenth team is not found one team will play a doubleâ€"header each week. During the meeting loopholes in some of the rules were located and they will probably be fixed up in the near future. It was also discovered that since the league started to operate none of the players were transferred strictly according to the rules. This was the first time that the rules for transfers was brought to light and it was the first ;ime that it was used. According to the rules a player must have written authority in the hands of the secretary from the captains of both the team he is leaving and the team he is joining. In this case it had not been done as the captains of the teams that were losing the men had not been notiâ€" fied and ‘were of the opinion that the men were still playing for them. It is expected that the league will get under way next Monday night.

Phone 327 Wouldn‘t Have Any Santa Claus Were It Not for Canada Letter from San Antonio, Texas, Shows How Youngâ€" sters in South View It. Mr. Vincent Woodbury, one of the pioneer residents of Timmins, spendâ€" ing the winter months with Mrs. Woodâ€" bury at San Antonio, Texas, sends here a clipping from The San Antonio Exâ€" press of recent date. The clipping carâ€" ries the form of The Western Union Telegraph Company, and reads as *folâ€" lows:â€" "San Antonio Express, "San Antonio, Texas. "Am almost to Canada to meet plane which will bring me to San Antonio. Trip exciting, scenery beautiful. Arâ€" riving in San Antonio at 3 p.m. Sunâ€" day. Please give my best regards to all the children of your city. Santa Claus" "En Routeâ€"Above is a copy of a telegram received Tuesday by The Exâ€" press from Santa Claus, who is en route to San Antonio. Santa is traâ€" velling by reindeer sleigh, but will be met by a special plane at Cape Churâ€" chill, Canada. The plane will arrive here at 3 pm. Sunday." With this telegram as a text, Mr. Woodbury writes the following very seasonable and interesting little serâ€" mon : â€" Editor Porcupine Advance Timmins, Ontario. Dear Sir: Tomorrow is Thanksgiving. As you know we relate it to the landâ€" ing of the Piigrim Fathers who first fell on their knees and then on the aborigines. All the "cash and carry" stores are filled with women cashing their husband‘s cheques right and left to account for the huge purchases. I know the attached notice which apâ€" peared in this morning‘s San Antonio Express will intrigue you. This notice is only one of several which have apâ€" peared in the newspaper advising litâ€" tle children of their approaching Santa Claus. I think the crux of the entire trip as far as I was concerned reached its point last night when a little child said to me "we wouldn‘t have any Santa Slaus if it wasn‘t for Canada." Now I don‘t know why Santa Claus did not choose his route directly down from James bay through Cochrane, then Timmins, and cut straight across via Elk Lake to hit the border at Windsor, but I guess he had his reaâ€" sons and Cape Churchill is a good Canadian point of landing from the North Pole. The event takes me back many years â€"1915 in factâ€"(I escapg mentioning figures this way which is getting to â€"be a wearing task) when my son Francis was a wee lad in Timmins. At that time we were a sensitive little town with the people grouping up together so it was not difficult for me to advise one of the two telephone girls, Miss Demers I think,. to act for Santa Claus when Francis phoned her. I had no idea how well Miss Demers would fulâ€" fill this task when I asked her to talk for Santa Claus, for I‘m sure I‘d never made the request had I known what the result was to be. Miss Demers drove her voice right down to bass as she answered the phone call from Francis. After the preliminary visiting she asked Francis what he would like her to bring him. Well, Pritz wanted a sled. That was all right, but she said "how about summer time: would you not like a velocipede?" Yes, Fritz thought he would like that too ‘""very much indeed, thank you." And then she went on from there dirâ€" ecting that boy‘s‘ thoughts into all kinds of Christmas gifts, and presented in such a way that he unfortunately remembered every one. I tell you that _WAS a remembering Christmas, and I‘ve never forgotten our Timmins Santa _Claus! We miss Timmins very much as the Yule season approaches. â€" Memory is very kind to us, and I do feel we will ultimately have good ground for Christmas cheers and Thanksgivings. Funeral of the Late G. Mervyn Corrigan Services at Home and at the Timmins United Churceh. The funeral of the late George Merâ€" vyn Corrigan took place from his late residence, 12 Carlin avenue, on Priday.
