from the american deviation philosophy of sport and not borrow where anything oes say- lialijbrowji jff canadian sport from its earliest to its most advanced stages would turn resolutely away from pro fessional models and standards and learn to play sanies for fun it would attract more players and we should grow a better people i cannot help but agree mo vrkstiixg it ta no secret that wrestling here during the- summer has nor gained too much fan support the reason for this lack of interest is not really known in other towns of similar size the grunt and grown artists draw well but in stouffville the attend ance has in past reasons been quite small- perhaps the one reason for the lack of interest has been the number of other sports attractions here there u something going on in the park every night of the week and spectators jut cant be two places at the same time however i have come to the conclusion mat wrestling enthusiasts would like to ee a higher class of bone- benders on the card in whitby and oshawa all the big names in the wrestling held perform before good crowds and thats what we should have here it hap been reported that this is the type of wrestling wo may see here this summer although still in the rumour stage a toronto promoter has informed arena manager w t ronnie that he plans to bring professional wrestling to stouffville some time in june such names as pat flanniuan hardboiled ilaggerty whlpper billy watson the mills brothers and many more would be on the card if the plan is carried through i for one like to see a good wrestling match but like many other followers of the sport i like to see it at its best as is provided at maple leaf gardens on thursday nights its oio outside one can hardly blame player for any lack of enthusiasm that has prevailed during the past mouth with temperatures hovering around the thirtytwo degree mark in the evenings and remaining in the low fifties during the day it is hardly good weather to loosen up the old right arm in addition to the frigid temperature- the park has been too wet for much soccer prac tice and with the schedule less than two ueexs away the boys prent goins to have too much time to take the kinks out of their legs the red sox have held one practice session this week they swing into action on may 21st th midgets are probably in the best shape having held two warmups fluttonville will take to the diamond on thursday evening at 7 oclock for their initial start due to the lateness of the season the markham township softball league has been pushed on almost two weeks to tuesday may 29th iast year the schedule opened on may 17th it would be very foolish for any loral league to operate under the present conditions it would not only he hard on the players to give their best but the nearfreezing temperatures would not tend to attract too many cash customers down to watch the sanies it would seem that the various lea cues are starting under exactly the same conditions as some of them finished last fall cold wet weather one of these days however old sol will give us a muchneeded break and stouffvilles summer sports program will be able to swing into high gear something wroxfi theres something wrong with the sports organization if a town of more than 4000 population cannot field either a baseball or a softball team in aurora this is apparently the case when the annual meeting of the trjcounty league was held at sunderland recently aurora could not definitely say if they would he filing an entry this season an additional meeting was ar ranged at sutton last week to draw up the schedule but aurora was not represented the same story was true at the markham twp softball meeting it was stated that the yonge street squad would be back in the group again this summer at the first meeting a representative was not in attendance nor was a phone call made to the secretary to explain the reason for the absence in order to give aurora an opportunity to reach a decision the league executive elected to hold another meeting this week and the secretary sent out the necessary notices still aurora was not represented some thoucht they still intended to enter the league hut their plans were strangely indefinite the executive felt that they couldnt hold up the organization of the schedule any loncer so the subject was dropped the coaches of the remaining four clubs expressed regret at auroras withdrawal from the group although their team finished out of the playoffs last year they had some excellent players on the roster and h1 ways put up a good game
