mssn 0C MONTREALâ€"The bloom is off the rose. The momenâ€" tary elation of the Montreal populace at being granted a major league baseball franchise has now deteriorated into something like doubt, and sometimes apathy. It now develops TN&AU !IU!E " V P20 Cscoot a domed City of Montreal ever officially promised to erect a domed stadium. It now turns out that the new franchise holders, including Maislin, Levesque and Steinberg, guaranteed the money for the franchise only. People in the know estimate that if and when Montâ€" real gets around to erecting a domed stadium and allowing for the normal increase of wages and suppligs, the people of Montreal will be asked to shell out close 10 seventyâ€"five million dollars and even Mayor Jean D peau‘s lottery scheme cannot raise that kind of money, thus it would almost certainly mean a good sized hike in municipal taxes. . 21 annm id s One writer suggested such a stadiu elephant unjess a National Football Le obtained to serve as a fall and winter uns se an m es suggested that lukewarm. " dRA SNDCEOY Officials of the 1968 Montreal Fair, unofficially dubbed as Son of Expo, are expressing concern over lack of attendance. <The highest crowd to date has been 68,000 for a single day and the Fair hit the two million mark last Saturday after a month of operation on a seven day a week basis. The daily paid attendance must be sixty thousand minimum in order to cover operating expenses but officials are hoping that once school is out: and summer vacations commence, things will be back in full swing. The La Ronde and the German beer garden are still the two most popular attractions. â€" While other restaurâ€" ants operate at about fifty percent capacity, the beer garden, complete with its steins of beer, generoUs sized helpings of sausages Or pigs feet with sauerkraut, along with a lively German band, still has lineups. sON OF EXPO FAILING We had a chance to chat with Brian McFarland the popular TV commentator for the Saturday Night hockey telecasts, and also owner of the Montreal Canadiens of the National Lacrosse Association. He expressed concern at the apparent lack of fan interest at the Paul Sauve Arena where the Montreal club makes its home. He talked of the possibility of staging a few games at the Verdun Auditorium, which seats 5,000 and is the home of the Caughnawagna Indians of the National Lacrosse League, an outlaw semiâ€"pro group in Quebec. We attended a Saturday night game between the Indians and Drummondville at Verdun and while the evening was cool, the humidity inside was uncomfortable. When the hot days of summer arrive it could be like a sauna room inside the auditorium as there is no air conâ€" LACROSSE CANADIENS MORE FROM SON OF EXPO Charles Lazarus, writing for the Montreal Star, pCNS a highly critical article, trying to compare last year‘s Expo with this season‘s show. He highlights the neglect of the property, which includes uncut grass in abundance, piles of garbage and debris in the service area left over from last year when Expo closed shop, sidewalks and roadways in a bad state of disrep‘air and }‘Iabitat. th:, e Sn lt e ue C TAT slxca ditioning TOsUWays 12 o LeW EMOUMUDE AEEIRGAIE LE nfoset al radically new apartment living complex, now almost closed down and weeds growing unchecked around it. There are 116 apartments in the complex but only about 20 tenants occupying the project. His word picture concludes: "The enticements for visitors as much of it depressing." Not a verybright picture to attract tourists but forâ€" tunately there are a few bright spots left. EASTERN LACROSSE ASSOCIATION DISBANDED The ELA ceased to exist as an official part of the Canadian Lacrosse Association as of last Saturday. The ELA boundaries take in most of eastern Ontario, comâ€" mencing at Kingston and through to the Quebec border. The group activities have been marred by bickering and general unrest during the past two years and came to a head last week and the Canadian body was asked to intervene. The final outcome was that the CLA will take over for the remainder of this yvear and the Ontario Lacrosse Association will be asked to step into the breach in 1969. ‘This decision came after a meeting at Montreal Saturday. TAILENDS . . . Montreal‘s night life is still much livelier than Toronto‘s, especially on wéekends as top restaurants and bars stay open until long after midnight Saturday and are open again Sundays . . . Most hockey officials and fans in Montreal are predicting a short stay for Claude Ruell as coach of the Canadiens hockey team. They feel his age (29) is a major factor and is too young to command respect and authority . . . It is also hinted that Jean Beliveau, who has an important public relations position, will decline a coaching position if it is offered to him after he quits playing . ..
