kll off the Elgin Mills entry which won the league last year but so far appear dormant Lacrosse will not likely be played in Bradford this year Bob has gone Perry and want to retire Alliston seeks some of the players Son is being sought by Streets- and Acton but the real trouble seems to be that the Lions club which ran the arena last winter and took a beating by reason of weather conditions to recoup the financial pic ture by operating the arena as a dance hall bingo and setup Naturally the Loos are out to make money and the only way they can do it is with a permanent settip that wont equipment being moved That will probably spell the end of lacrosse in Bradford The Lions and those who op erate the club dont entirely see eye to eve on several matters even if the Lions were prepared

Boston marathon a truly amateur race hat has come to be the most important of its kind in the world attracting runners from many lands pass ed into history last month A great number of Canadians have won this gruelling battle over the full marathon distance Jack Caffrey twice Johnny Miles twice Gerard Cote a cigarsmoking French Canadian four times Tom Freddie Cameron Jimmy Duffy Dave and a tall slim young fellow named Waller Young whose home was and is in the Montreal sub urban city of Verdun We dont intend to make comparisons to the courage physical and mental the joy of contest the hope of fame that activated all these and all the other runners who flock from the world over to compete in this gruelling battle over the hills and slopes that finally after agony of heart lungs and muscles pitch the runners into the cobbled streets of old Boston town to finish the grind and sink exhausted on the campbeds provided Rut we do say that seldom if ever did a Boston mara thon winner possess a less inspiring background nor a more compelling urge to win than Walter Young when in the autumn of 10315 he started training for the Boston marathon of For Walter Young was then on relief in the late days of the Great Depression He was a recipient of that form of national charity which contributed to each man each family enough to allow hare existence to pay humble rental to buy scantily of the cheapest of foods In brief to keep together body soul It was a shameful way of life and no one felt more bitter about his lot than jobless Walter Young married with a wife an infant son anil a mother to support He had engaged in athletics and he thought that if he could enter perhaps make a good showing in such a race as the Boston marathon it might lead to better times for himself his wife his little family He discussed this with a great professional runner Pete Gavuzzi loved to run He found a willing pupil in Young Through the autumn the winter early spring these two ran in preparation for the marathon They ran miles per week They ran miles in all before they de cided Young was physically ready for the Boston test Then they scraped up tho money to ride a bus to Boston with just enough left to feed and house them there Inspired by the possibility that victory could get him off the misery of relief rolls Walter Young ran like a nun He ted other runners from the world over won himself And his great race was not In vain Verdun gave him a job as a policeman At least he was off relief He was working a mans job earning a living And hes a policeman still though promoted from the lower
