Keeping Up Interest in Sport Possibly, the Barrie hockey fans do not realize that they are getting their favorite sport at considerably lower prices than obtain in other places. Col- lingwood and = Midland both charge fifty vents admission and in Bradford the rate is thirty-five cents. Had the Barrie Athletic Club followed the example of other places they might have increased their finances considerably, but as their organization -was formed for the encouragement of sport they preferred to keep the charges as low. as possible in order to help. popularize the sport. The Examiner understands that the Club intends reviving base- ball in the coming summer and will endeavor to have a league organized. for general].

Fortunately, Barrie had the long end of the seore. The local juveniles got busy early and) gained a lead which they were never in very much danger of losing.

The first five minutes of the rond section was very close and fast, Reid finally wiggling around from behind for a tally. In half a minute Hugo in a lone rush notched one for the visitors. Then followed six minutes of strenu- ous owe before Molenbauer made another for Bradford, thus making the score § to 4, which Was the nearest the visitors got to vietory Two minutes later Bertram counted on a pass from Lynch. Another pair were count- ed at minuto intervals: the first hy White on aeBogardis pass and the second by Reid assisted hy Rosenfeldt. The period closed 3 to A. The last round was pretty much "Texas", who scored fou out of five, practically all by ins dividual rushes, Afler Barrie had scored three and Bradford two what was supposed to be the final gong sounded, and simultaneous- ly Hugo drove one into the net. It proved te be a false alarm, the timers having made 'a mis- take. Two minutes remained to play and that time sufficed to register two more for the home- sters, per White and Bogard leaving the final count 13 to 7.
