PERCENTAGE TO GROUNDS | bre CUT DOWN TO 15 PER CENT. est Zâ€"At a meeting of the Timmins Amaâ€" teur Athletice Association this week it was decitded to cut down the perâ€" centage of receipts paid to the grounds from a third to 15 per cent. ofg@the gate. Previously the various sports have been paying a third of the gate receipts to the grounds and this has been a noticcable burden. Several times there have been attempts to have the percentage reduced, but up to the present the grounds committee bas been unable to do anything as the revenue was absolutely necessafy for the upkeep ofâ€"the grounds and for imâ€" provements, ete. <Ine recent grant of the Town Council, however, has helpâ€" ed out, and the Grounds Committee sees its way clear now to the yeducâ€" tion in the percentage. The 15 per eent. rate is to apply to all ordinary games but will not gpply to ‘tbig days*‘‘ when the third will be still reâ€" quired.> The reduction gives the vaâ€" rtous sports a far (better chance to break even financially. In the past the proportion going to the grounds left little for the sports to carry on with. The Grounds Comumittee also decidâ€"| ed to have a gate on the south side for automobiles.

On Saturday of this week there will be another game in the district series when Cochrane will play here. Cochâ€" vrane has a good team and they are coming to put up a battle for every inch of every innings, so it should be a good game Saturday. £â€"On Saturday afternoon in ideal weather the Timmins Golf Club held the firstâ€"monthly Medal Handicap of the season and the large turnout of members for the event proved withâ€" out doubt the increasing popularity of the game in this district. The winner, Mr. Geo. Adams of the Hollinger‘ played steady golf all the way round and had to be good to keep ahead: of Messrs. Harold Garner and (Gteo. Shaeffer who were close up seeâ€" onds. The remainder of the players turned in good sceores as good alibis for not being on top and promise in golf language that it will not happen again. y4 Next Saturday, June 24th, at 2 p.m. Hollinger vs. Town and Melntyre.

Sudbury Star Suggests Plan That Might Have Set Province Searchâ€" ing for Lost Prospector. The following editorial appeared in The Sudbury Star on Saturday last: William Buckley, a prospector, is lost in the woods, supposedly in Carâ€" scallen Township, rear Timmins. It is believed that he is dead by now, for he has been missing several weeks and had neither rifle nor provisions when last sgen. Searech parties organized by friends of the missing man have seotired the bush for him, but without success. / THOUSANDS FOR 0. 1.A. BUT LITTlE FoR HumaXITty Despatches to Toronto papers have stated that Provincial police officers have been assisting in the search, This according to The Timmins Advance, is not a fact. Theofficers are able and willing to aid in the hunt but the deâ€" partment system ‘does not permit of it. The Province of Ontario seems to have unlimitéd funds at its disposal when it comes to sending an army of spofters into the highways and byâ€" ways of the land in search of people breaking the O.T.A. ‘There seems to be no lack of money if it reaches the ears of Attorneyâ€"CGeneral Raney that some settler in the hinterland is disâ€" posing of an oceasional glass of whisâ€" key. The Raney battalion is‘ imimeâ€" diately instructed to hale him before the e®urts, invade the backwoods if need be, and charge up the expenses to the province. There is no lack of funds for purposes of this nature, but when a human being is wandering in the bush, facing death from starvaâ€" tion, the Province of Ontario has no money to spend in aiding in the !seal‘ch. The excuse is offered that it costs money to maintain a police force and that officials of this foree are apâ€" pointed to enforee the law, not to enâ€" gage in searching forJost prospectors. Possilly, in fact yvery probably, had some friend of the missing man, hintâ€" ed falsely to the Attorneyâ€"General‘s department thag when last seen, the prospector was possessed of a bottle of Seotch, which he carried in his hip pocket, in contravention of that noble act which prohibits a man from hayâ€" ing liquor in other than a private dwelling place, there would have been no difficulty about search party exâ€" penses. There would have been a mob of spotters and O.T.A. operatives goâ€" ing over Carseallen ‘Township with a fine tooth comb in search of the man. That would ‘have solved the difficulty. EXPECT NEW GOLF CLUB HOUSE READY JULY ist. Exeellent progress is being made in the building of the Golf Club House and it is ‘expected that this fine new building will be ready for use about the first of July. There is the greatâ€" est interest shown now in golf, with the membership and enthusiasm ever on the increase. With the elegant new club house golf will without doubt grow still greater in popularity.

The Schumacher Mines property inâ€" ROLLINGER DPTION ON THE SCRUMACHER MINES According to aqvices from Loronio the sale will net the Schumacher Mines shareholders around 90 cents a share. A meeting of the shareholders of the Schumacher Mines has been called for June 30th to ratify the sale. The Schumacher Mines property inâ€" cludes some 160 acres of very promisâ€" ing mining land.. The property has a mining plant and equipment and was among the producers, but has been closed down for some time owing to war conditions and for other reasons. The deepest shaft on the property is down 600 feet, but it is generally unâ€" derstood that deep mining was parâ€" ticularly promising on the property. The general opinion is that the taking over of the Schumacher by the Holâ€" linger means that the propenty will have the best possibhle chancee to deâ€" velop under_ the most favourable chanees. The taking over of the SeHuâ€" macher Mines will be looked. upor generally as a fine thing for all conâ€" cerned and for the Camp. y The Junior Mission Band a concert in the Presbyter on Friday evening of this : CONCERT FRIDAY EVENING BY JUNIOR MISSION BAND THIRD ANNUAL PICNIC OF THE CERCLE CHAMPLAIN The third annual picnic of the Cercle Champlain is to be held on Sunday next, June 25th, at Sandy a concert in the Presbyterian chureh on Friday evening of this week, June 23rd, commencing at 8 o‘clock.
