Morkin Opposes {Amateur Changes Ottawa, Dec. 8. -- Unqualified opposition to the proposal to per- mit professionals in one branch of sport to register as amateurs in another was expressed by James J. Morkin, president of Amateur Athletic Union of Cana- da, who arrived here yesterday to preside over the Union's an- nua] meeting. The proposal will come before the'meeting in the form of a res- olution from the Saskatchewan brasich of the Union and, in the opinion of early arriving dele- gates, has little chance of adop- jon. Mr. Morkin said he ays taken the stand amateurs nd professional athletics should e kept strictly separate and he elt; just ag strongly on this fact ow as at any time. To permit a ingling of amateur and profes- iopal athletes would mean the nd. of amateur sport in Canada, he was convinced, and would robably work to the detriment t professional sport as well. The Amateur Union, the presi- ent 'asserted, had no objection o professionalism. It was anxi- us to see professional sport eintained on a high level.

S.--And again the National Hockey League scores. Ever since the national winter pastime of Canada was in- troduced in a big way in the United States, the system of the | league's play-offs has heen the target of amused and sometimes violent criticism by United States sports writers. But yesterday radical plank to bolster baseball's crumbling mi- nor leazue structure were begun at the opening session of the thirty-first annual meeting of the | National Association of Profes- sional Baseball Leagues, The American Association took the lead hy tentatively adopting a revolutionary plan to divide the circuit into two groups, east land west, with a seven-game i play-off between the team with | the highest percentage in the | eastern division and the leader | in the western portion.

Miss Percy suggests that an ap- | peal be made to the Council for a larger grant, based on the nurse's statistical report regarding in- crease in free work and the num- ber of families cared for where no | one is working, to reinforce their arguments. In closing Miss Percy says that she was impressed with the en- thusiasm of the Board members on the occasion of her visit, and she is of the opinion that the Whitby branch of the Victorian Order of Nurses is on the threshold of development into a larger and more effective service on behalf of the community.
