‘The annual meeting of the Timmins Football Club was held in the Council Ohamber on Monday evening, and proved very highly successful and promising. There was a large attendâ€" ance and the keenest interest throughâ€" out . Every year that has seen a liveâ€" ly annual meeting has had a successâ€" ful season.. The Football Club has the gift of threshing out differences ‘of opinion and then all getting in toâ€" gether to assure success. There were some lively times at Monday‘s meetâ€" ing but those who have followed the history of football here know that all this : but argues 1 BV x â€" Mr. Roy .Dugbar, President of the club for 1925, fcecupied the chair and ceondncted prgfeedings with efficiency and tact. Infhis annual address Preâ€" sident Dunbar reviewed the activities <of the Timmins Football Club in 1925 and showed the success that had been achieved despite handicaps and difâ€" ‘ficulties of â€"many kinds. The report of the Secretary, W. A. Field was a lengthy one and touched on many of the points reviewed in the ‘President‘s address. Last season the Timmins team had played 18 matches. Of "these, 13 were wins, three were _drawn games, one was won by deâ€" fault, while the final game (in the Ontario Cup) was lost, as the Secreâ€" tary phrased it, ‘‘to an inferior team.‘‘ ‘*But the Timmins team still ‘kept their reputation as good sportsâ€" men,‘‘ said the Secretary, ‘‘especialâ€" ‘ly regarding the fact that the venom from an infinitesimal in your own town preceded your team to the Hamilton ‘club, who availed themselves of the information sent them and added the extra string necessary to rob the Timâ€" ‘mins boys of the victory they so richâ€" ly deserved. However, the finish to ‘the yellow foolscap is not yet.‘‘ ‘‘Your team,‘‘ the report, ‘*‘won the King cup, the Dickson cup, the Gallagher cup (Northern Ontario ~championship), the Goodyear cup, and have yet to reâ€"play the Foster eup final here at Timmips. In the 18 game played: your team scored 64 goals, with offty a total of 7. scored against them, This is without doubt ‘ the most nemankable record for footâ€" ~ball> in the» Northâ€"so far. ~Besides this, one of your teams, the Hollinger won the P.D.F.L, shield with the acâ€" companying gold medals donated by : our old friend, Mr. E.

I cannot pass without. remarking. on the harmony created and kept up last ‘season between our different: teams.‘‘ The Secretary referredâ€"to a moveâ€" ment on foot to have a second senior team, and urged strongly against it. He felt sure that two teams could not carry on successfully, and football would be injured by~ any attempt to put this scheme in foree. The plan, he suggested, was largely engineered by those unable to coâ€"operate with the c}ug, or who had been dropped by the eclub. f ~‘‘IT am pleased to inform you,‘‘ said the report, ‘‘that this season we are entering on a new phase for footâ€" ball in this district, as the Ontario Cup competition will be the preli‘min- ;}:; i'o;lfid for the Dominion chamâ€" pionship. It will be necessary to get an early start as the whole of Northâ€" ern Ontario must be decided by June 12th, and the winner of the Ontario CGup declared by July 7th. We have our last season‘s team intact, except one man, and there is some new blood from which to draw or build up the weak spots, and with all pulling for Timmins it augurs well for this, the coming season not only bringing the coat of arms of Ontario, but the blue ribbon of Canadi. _ The Secretary made a number of recommendations and suggests in his report. Among these were:â€" That the old plan of no players on the executive be adopted; that an effort be made to raise considerable funds to help in the defraying of the exâ€" penses of one of the players in the hospital in Toronto since last year; that credit should be given to the trainer, Mr. W. Larmer, for the way he worked for th@ team, and .that some token would be fitting to Mr. Larmer for his untiring work;,; that the Town B. team be not entered this year, the players to go to the Hollinâ€" ger and Town A. teams if they wish; that membership tickets be fixed at $3.00, same to give admission to â€"all games held under the auspices ‘of the club, and that only holders of ‘ticketa@_shall beâ€"entitled to vote at any meeting except the case of regisâ€" tered players; that the formation of a school league maintain our policy of looking with disfavour on the imporâ€" tatiom of football players, keeping strictly to our home brew policy which has proved a success so far.‘‘ efforts have been made with the purâ€" pose of getting the touring English F.A. team here this coming summer, and I am pleased to be able to anâ€" nounce that owing to the reputation that your team has built up and mainâ€" tained these past few years, Timmins har been finally chosen for one out of four games to play in Ontario. ‘Two more will be played in Toronto, and the other one in either Ottawa, Hamilâ€" ton or Windsor. If this game here materializes it will without doubt be a red letter day for this camp and I ask everyone of you to make. this event possible/ by doing just a little more than asked by the N.O.F.A. in the correspondeneé that will be placed before you later.""‘. |____â€". â€" .

B After the report of the auditors had tbeen read, theâ€"report of the treasâ€" urer was, on motion, duly accepted. Then there developed a very lively discussion on some items that were in the report and some there were not. Members with differing viewpoints spoke out frankly and freely, and this part of the meeting was most inâ€" teresting. Eventually all differences were ironed.out and the mecting sttâ€" tled down to the election of officers for the ensuing year. The following were the officers elected for 1926 ;â€" _F.A. team‘s visit. The proposal was that a picked team from the district clubs play the visitors at Timmins, _ the date to be likely July 7th.
