It seems that Burke, wi.ile on a recent scouting trip Jack Donlevy made his hockey year in Halifax pay off in more than the money angle, he got a wife.

They have been negotiating with a catcher, pitcher, infielder and outfielder, so if they land the prospects and add them to the other stars of the Macmen, the League may be eating the.r dust. Lasi Wednesday was a big sportsman day in Tcronto. In the afternoon the sporting fraternity turned out 23, strong to the Tsronto opening of thoe International Baseball League and then at night thronged to the Ottawaâ€" Regina hcckey game.

Is it not scmeâ€" thing we ought to remember â€" someâ€" thing we ought to look into? Such quick forgetfulness was the causo of this war. Are we to be caught with the same situatlcn as before in anâ€" otiier fow years? _ and if you are not worried about them or about what happened or what will happen, do not at least the many thousands who gave their lives and ti.eir souls deserve a little rememerâ€" ence?

What‘s that, "The heck with Ahe cadet inspection" â€" â€" don‘t let Mr. Clark or Mr. Carriere hear you say that. Therefore another date must be selected. This would probably be the twountieth or twentyâ€"eighth of May. In any case it will be in May some time. That is about all we can say for now but keep your hopes up and your fingers crossed and we shall be in Kap before you know it.

Never for a moment do I wish you to belicve t::at we prefer picnics to weiner rcasts (to us a mild expression).
