The exeeutive of the Football Club can not answer this yvet, but Secretary Field is keeping in close touch with the officials at.

Last week the warehouse of Gambleâ€" Robinson, _ Timmins, Limited, on Spruce street was entered at night by robhers who got away with $200 or $300 worth of goods. The stuff stolen seemed to ‘be chiefly cigarettes, cigars and â€" tobaceos, with _ confectionery also being apparently favoured. The crime had the marks of heing ‘the work of boys. Entry was made by the cutting out of a pane of glass. Timmins, TLimited, have guarded against similar work in the future by putting bars on the winâ€" dows. An odd incident of the robâ€" bery was the fact that the criminals might easily have been caught by the accident of knocking over the teleâ€" phone. Under the new system the telephone being off the hook is regâ€" istered at central. Had central realâ€" ized the possible significance of the receiver off the hook in a warenouse late at night a call to the police staâ€" tion might have brought the police on the scene before the robbers had time to get away.

Mr. and Mrs. F. J. Wolno returned Monday evening after a holiday visit to Montreal and other points south and east. All the unplayed matches of the P.D.E.L. now are the four postponed games. As the Hollinger is unâ€" questionably the winner of the Garâ€" rett Shield and District Championâ€" ship, and the postponed games have no bearing on the standing of "the leading teams, it is not likely they will be played. _ On account of the early darkness and the difficulty of working in the matches now, togetâ€" her with the fact that large crowds can scarcely be expected at the present time for games that really decide nothing, it is likely that the postponed matches will be left over unplayed.
