Next Monday will see the inaugural bridge and scopa par- ty of the season get under way at the Circolo Colombo at 8.30 o'clock in the evening. For so- me time past many of our mePr bers and friends have compla- ined of there being no social functions for the non-dancers, and in answer to repeated re- quests we are holding a series of card parties, the first of which will be held in the club rooms on Monday next, Feb. 5th as mentioned above. To Help a Good Cause Not only will those taking part in these card games enjoy themselves but they will at the same time be contributing to a Very worthy cause - a fund for the establishment of a li- brary. Thir library will im- prove the intellectual status and widen the knowledge of our members and visitors and hen- ce should be supported in every way possible. It is also another) reason why the men of the Co-' lony should join the Circolo Co-. lombo to partake of the social, The members of the Circolo C o l om b o who attended our monthly meeting were elated at seeing a valuable volume of the exploits of our patron, Chris- topher Colombo, which was a gift of the Italian government, through the efforts of our Con- sul General, Comm. Petrucci and our Vice-Consul Cav. Am.. brosi. Many thanks. . . I It is understood that further volumes are to follow which deal with various phases of dif- ferept topics, the same being both in Italian and English. Preparations are already un- der way to construct a library case which will adorn our plub- rooms. A committee composed of Jos. Garbarino, Nick Sean- diffio, W. Sansone and R. Poli- to are busily engaged promot- ing a Bridge and Scopa, the proceeds of which will help de- fray expenses for building our new library. _ A library board has been ap- pointed to take care of our Li- brary. It consists of Bros. Jo- seph Garbarino, Nick Scandif- fio and T. Mari. A match bowling contest was held last Saturday evening bet- ween Itheinhardt's and a few members of the Big Eight.

Players at each table will pivot after each game. As many players as possible are kindly requested to bring their own cards. The subscription is only 25 cents per person so that this should be no handicap to those wishing to spend a very plea asant evening in card playing and contributing to the success of the library fund.

T Incidentally our regular me- etings will again revert to the third Sunday of the month as previously. At the general meeting last Sunday a vote of thanks was made for the good work of our New Year's ball committee.

LIGHTWEIGHT WRESTLERS SHOW MORE SPEED Orth Again Features _ Speed, more speed and thril- ling action was the consensus of the seven thousand odd fans that attended the first wrest- ling card featuring lightweight and light heavyweight wtres- tlers held by the Arena Gar- dens Club three weeks ago. It was an experiment and officials of the Arena Gardens are to be congratulated for introducing this form of sport to Toronto. Next Thursday night another card of "lighter-than-heavies" will be offered. Paul Orth "Tar- zan of the mat" who caused quite a sensation on his first appearance here has been mat- ched with Jack Sampson who is considered champion of his class. The item of dues, which is of vital importance to the exis- tance of our Club, is receiving Orth was a combination of Zaharias, "Gentleman" Jack "I come, I see, I conquer". This phrase translated from the latin motto of Caesar des- cribes the visit of H. E. Piero Parini who came, saw and con- quered the hearts of the Ita- lians of Toronto. The Circolo Colombo have set up an enviable record with four straight wins in as many starts. Last Monday evening they registered their third shutout of the season against the Sioux at Willowdale by the score of 3-0. Although the weather was extremely cold a great ma- ny Cireolo rooters were in at- tendance including Dr. Scandif- fio who happened to return to town from where he is station- ed at Guelph and enjoyed see- ing some of his old teammates perform in stellar fashion. The first period resulted in many uncalled for penalties on the part of the referee and in- cidentally there was no score. During the intermission Lou Spalla was unanimously elected captain of the team and when the boys took to the ice he sig- nalized his appearance by scor- ing the first goal of the game on a beautiful solo effort. Un- der his able direction on the ice the team became organized and began functioning like a well oiled machine. The third period opened with some very fast play on both si- des. The Circolo boys began clicking with their combination plays and on a pass by Bernar- do, Dossey scored the second goal. A few minutes later Lou Spalla served up the game by WELCOMES H.131.

Dr. Anthony Vince, one of our prominent dentists and a member of our Club, paid us a visit last Wednesday evening where he renewed many old ac- quaintances. As usual he had a good story to tell. Washburn, Garibaldi and Ray Steele, in his last bout. He showed the Showmanship of the former two and the clever- ness of the latter. He has al- ready become the arch villain of the lightweights. In the se- mi-final "Red" Simmes and ,Bobby Jackson have been re- matched by popular demand. These two grapplers "stole the show" on their first appearan- ce and Matchmaker Tom McLu- re not onlp provided for a re- turn match but arranged that it be a forty-five minute bout with the best two out of three falls to decide the winner. Dan- ny McDonald, Toronto middle- weight who did so well in the Olympics, will also appear on the card. If you want to see speed, thrills and action attend t h e s e "lighter-than-heaviest" shows.

The boys played well and are improving with every appearance. _ _ On Thursday night the Cir- colos held the highly touted Westwards to a l-l tie at Royal Rink. .

Apparently the others were taking it easy as there were no other creditable scores. Eatons continued their drive to the top by taking four points from the Lucky Strikes with Mallen providing all the action with 305-801. Wilson has been improving each week and has proved to be a decided asset to his team in their success. G. Bernardo was the best on his team with 686. Conti was con- spicuous by his absence.

E. Pellettier was the best on either team and also the highest for the week with 814. Ernie's bowling has bordered on the sensational the last few weeks and it was lar- gely due to this that the Colum- bus Coal have not been able to lengthen their lead. Pieeininni was the best for the Columbia team with 679 but Borsa's sin- gle effort of 295 in the last ga- me was the highlight of the evening and almost was the cause of the 5 Pellettiers losing a point. - 7 Next week the third and fi- nal lap begins and the fight will be in earnest for the playoff positions.
