Then on Tuesday evening the Falls at the Sault again proved their skill and. perfect con- ditidn Iry holding the Greyhounds to a tie, it to It, thus, winning the Hound hy one goal and gaining: the N.().H.A. championship. Now, it is "On to To.. I'onto" for the'Falls Seniors, and Timmins has a neighllrorly enthusiasm almost as great as the Falls itself in hoping for all success for this 'tlm. North Land team. The special train from Tinunins Saturday night was loaded to the limit, and the win for the Falls was enthusiastically reeeiv. ed by Thmpins fans. 'Nothing: could have been more popular except a win. for Timmins under the same condi- tions, for the Falls is of our own Xorth Land, a near neighbor and a good buneh of plucky sports. Hand it to them! They deserve it. Any who saw the Saturday night game wilt agree that the Falls won on the play. They outclassed the Gr.vhounds; not. a mgm on the Falls team but ptayed like a'hero, the fastest work they have ever done; they won on merit, on con- dition, on hockey. That dbout tells the Story. The Poreupine passes the bou.. quets to the Falls team and wishes them all luck in the good work of showing the southern guys how they play hodkey in the North Land.

More Than One Company Expected. On saturday of this wet/lc, the day of the big Dogh'aee and Carnival, it is expected that several motion pie- ture experts will he husy here g:etting; films of the hig- events of This. the greatest day of sports ever held in the North Land in the winter time. Bathe and other leading producers ofpilma are expected to eoverthe oceaszon. f5r their news features. In any event, however, there will he one special tuo- tion picture film made of the race. The expert to make this picture is now in the Camp with all the necessary paraphernalia and several thousand feet of tilm ready. The expem was brought here by Nr. John Jones, the well-known prospector (if this coun- try. At present the tihti expert is in the bush near. town and is busy mevk- ing and developing' general scenes of this part of the country. He avill make a big h'hn of the Porcupine Dog Race and Carnival and this will be shown all through the rest of Canada and in the United States. It should prove a noteworthy advertisement for the Por eupine Camp. This motion picture ek.. pert was up north of Coehrane recent- ly with Mr. Jones and secured a num- ber of excellent pictures in that part of the country. Many here who have seen some of the pietrwes taken by the expert with llc.

CHAMPIONSHIP Mr. John Jones returned here last week from the north, the unusually deep snow making his uprojected trip to Hudson Bay practically impossible at this time. He 'brought back his big outht of dogs and it is likely that he will enter two twins in the Porcupine Dog Race on Saturday. , After defeating IIaileybury in de- eisive fashion, the Falls Juniors tried euliclusiuns with North Bay for the N.().H.A. Junior Honors. In the game at the Bay, the Falls lost with the ofr, tieial store given as 5 to 3. At the Falls, however, North Bay was trim- med i', to o, the Falls thus definitely winning the , Junior championship. Now, there is talk of the Falls being ordered to re-play with Haileybury, the winners to play with the Bay again. It is claimed that Allarie does not qualify under the age rule. Alla- rie, however, did not pay at the Falls list night, so the question scarcely af.. feeis the championship. The only thing that a re-play would seem to promise would be a lot of expense and inconvenience for, the Falls Juniors. Apparently there has. been some sleek'.. ness in regard to eertifieates in the N. O.H.A. and if the Executive get too excited how in enforcing, this parti- oular point they will only look ridicu- lous. A fret .playing eertifleated men all season, the Falls Juniors have won. It would look like good sport to let it go at that, unless everybody else has Iperfeety clean chin.

It is to be hoped that the party who is guilty of the despicable crime will be brought w punishment. It is a criminal oifenee to put out poison within the reach of domestic, animals because one law recognizes that when it is accessible to .animals it is likely to be a menace to children as well as to animals that even the poisoner is not anxious to kill. The fact is that the person who would poison a " "rtiallSpoison its owner if he did not dear the penalty.
