At the annual meeting. of the O.F.A. last January, while placâ€" ing the grievances of the North before that body, in regard to the treatment it was receiving, I distincetly said that [ was not there to make any trouble for football and that the district that I represented was willing to forget our grievances but that I would keep in closer touch with the O.F.A. this year to see that the rules were enforeâ€" ed to the letter. Now along comes Ulster and practically defies the O.F. and all Disâ€" trict Associations. The time has come for a showâ€"down as to. whether the O.F.A. shall rule the province or will Toronto rule the rest of Ontario. "In ~the first round pi the eup last year ‘Timmins had to travel to North Bay at an expense of $300 and every . player lost three days‘ work. â€" In return we received only $25 as our share of the gate. In the second round, after Toronto and disâ€" trict had held up the whole works for two months, Timmins had to travel at Toronto‘s convenience to ‘Toronto where a doubleâ€"header was staged by the Powersâ€"Thatâ€"Be there without consulting us. The result was that the gate was split so mary ways that all Timmins got for their share was $41â€"some gate for the city of Toronâ€" fo. L must say, however, that we were entertained royally bv the Mimâ€" ico team who represented Toronto last season, but this trip cost the Timâ€" mins Football Club $550 and the playâ€" ers all lost fourâ€"days‘ work and some lost five. In the semiâ€"final Oshawa were the unfortunates who had to travel to Timmins but we did not hear much of a squeal from them because after paying all expenses, . grounds, referee, etc., we were able to pay the thirteen‘ railway fares to Oshawa out of the gate. We did not put â€"an a doubleâ€"header either or any counter attraction farther up the street â€"as Toronto did for us. (Oshawa went home the loser in the semiâ€"final but. holding in high regard the treatment they hdd reoelved trom the boys here. ‘‘Next was the order from the O.F. A. that homeâ€"andâ€"home games would they had reoel\ ed trom the boys here. ‘‘Next was the order from the O.F. A. that homeâ€"andâ€"home games would be played to decide the final with Brantford and Timmins. The gates were to be pooled . with Brantford playing at Timmins first, and then at Brantford with goals to count. All right. game at Timmins was a noâ€"score tie, and after all â€"expenses were paid $300 was turned over to the O.F.A. _ Timmins then travelled to Brantford. . They did not ask for one cent or even a guarantee from the O. F:A. The players lost another five days‘ work and the expenses amountâ€" ed closg to $700. . What happened to In regard to the Ontario Football Cup series, Mr. W,. A. Field writes The Advance as follows, fully reviewâ€" ing the situation this year, and recallâ€" ing last year‘s performances as well; "Following the ultimatum of the O.F.A. to Ulster re their default to Timmins in the Ontario Cup game and the subsequent suspension â€" as made official by Secretary R. B. Muir, and in the face of the published exâ€" planation of Ulster as to why they did not travel to Timmins, L agree that it is only right and proper that the publie should have placed before them a few of the facts of the hardâ€" ships experienced byâ€" the Timmins Football Club in their quest for the Ontario Cup not only this season but last year as well. Incidentably in my opinion, the Ulster Club in not comâ€" ing to Timmins on the dates agreed on lost something more valuable than any championship trophy, Dominion or otherwise, that is, their reputation and character. . Last year, although the boys from the North did not win the trophy, they retained throughont an unblemished reputation for good sportsmanship. Secretary Timmins. Football â€"Club Reviews Situation A Letter to The A(fvance Shows How Timmins Played Fair Last Year, at Much Loss and Inconvenience and How Ulsters This Year Did Not Do Likewise. Advises O0.F.A. to Keep Firm Stand. M ‘*Now up until Saturday, Septemâ€" ber 19th, there might have been reaâ€" sonable excuse for delaying the second round, although personally I cannot see it, that is, if the O.F.A. rules and regulations are going to be enforced. And wlhat use are they if they are not?â€" For the Association to give in to Ulster in the first place was a big mistake as has since been proven. 1 am not finding fault, however, with Secretary R. B. Muir, of the O.F.A., because I realize what he is up against and a few more men of Bobby Muir‘s calibre would be a great beneht to football in general. ' <‘On September 20th, the day follâ€" owing the final game in Toronto when Ulster beat Davenport 1â€"0, I received the official notice that Ulsters were to travel to Timmins and the date set was Saturday, September 26th, but Ulsters were asking for certain guarâ€" antees. I nnmedlately replied thdt we. would not guarantee one cent. . Ulster would lla\'e to abide by the rules re gates receipts. I also sent word to both the 0.F.A. and Ulster Club that, weather permitting, we expected at least $1,000 gate.. The Ulster Club have not yet had the decency to anâ€" swer my wire or to send us the word that they were not coming. _ Adverâ€" tising was arranged and sent out for a radius of seventyâ€"five miles along the line from Timmins. Then alons comes word that the date had been changed for the cenvenience of Ulster that they had promised faithfully to travel October 3rd., also that Ulster had objected to the reteree appointed, ’Mx J. Craig, but with no. reasons This official, I understand, has !handled cames in which they hd\e taken part this season. Why did they no object to him sooner? I think, according to rules, Referee Craig is entitled to a little explanation. He is not in any way connected with the Association at this end and comes here with an Ontario referee‘s card and a :98 per cent. examination. Sureâ€" ly someone is to blame for giving this official so high a ratÂ¥g if he is not qualified for it. Everybody iwhere fhinks he is entitled to it all right. North Bay team classed him as the best referee they had seen hdndle a gcame. ‘*Sorry but the whole North is lookâ€" ing forward to game here next Saturâ€" ‘*‘The following reply was sent by return :â€" : mins received from North Bay last season. They were well pleased with the result. Toronto, as usual, got a bye in the first round. The date for the second round was set for Septemâ€" ber 5th. Toronto was not readyâ€"too many other trophies to play for, alâ€" though the Ontario rules say that the Ontario Cup competition shall take precedence over any other in Ontario. On the other hand Timmins should have played the Foster Cup. Final with Kirkland Lake, this being the N.O.F.A. (-hamplonblnp trophy. Four weeks went by because Timmins was living up to the rules of the O.F.A. and expecting the winners of Toronto every week. On Friday, September 1l1th, I received the following wire from the secretary of the Ulster Club: ‘‘If Ulster wins the Toronto Disâ€" triet final will your club agree to play here; enclosed ‘ground. Good gate assured. Wire reply at once.â€"Surâ€" 1 geoner.‘‘ ‘ ‘ "‘l\ 'pl\]]‘\“':“l\‘ mnn\‘\v 4 v a% w rvnr\" l'\\v ‘‘Afterâ€" receiving notice the change of date considerable expense was incurred to recall the previous THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO Ontario Cup and got as their share of the gate ten times as much as Timâ€" mins received from North Bay last season. They were well pleased with the result. Toronto, as usual, got a bye in the first round. The date fo: the second round was set for Septemâ€" ber 5th. Toronto was not readvâ€"tou UnEA advertising and to put out new bills for October 3rd. The sale of tickets was started and everything looked fine for the game on Saturday when suddenly the announcement on Wedâ€" nesday in the North Bay Nugget that Ulster had defaulted. I immediately sent a wire to Secretary Muir asking confirmation of this and received the following reply Thursday morning: ‘*Regret exceedingly Ulster have reâ€" fused to travel. Meeting of execuâ€" tive officers held last night. Ulster club players and officials have been suspended until further notice. _ Club grounds closed on same terms.â€"Bob Muu.” insl the winners of Oshawa district and South Ontario champions, were notified on Thursday that the semiâ€"final would take place at Timâ€" mins on Saturday, October 10th. This reply was received the next day : ‘‘We will be there to play October 10th.â€"W. E. Morgan, secretary, Clare ‘*The latest action of the O.F.A. in suspen(ding the Ulster Club and elosâ€" ing their: grounds must be commendâ€" ed, but they are not finished ‘yet. They must stick hard and fast to the terms, viving justice @vhere it is ‘due and must allow no cliqites or individuals to rule them. Not until then will the O.F.A. have the success it deserves so much. /I think that the above is only mildy expressing the feeling in the Nortlr Country : over this matter. The public is in a turmoil, as the press has already stated, and will not be satisâ€" fired until the offenders are made to pay the damage they have done, not only financially but to the game itself. m ont F BIG POTATOES AND LOTS OF THEM GROWN AT CLUTE. ‘‘Mr, A.
