Timmins, Ont. Western Early and Auspicious Start Made Monday Evening for Next Season‘s Hockey. â€" Officers Elected for Timmins Hockey Club. Executive to Handle all Hockey in Timâ€" mins. Considered the Biggest and Best Meeting for Hockey Ever Held Here. The meeting held on â€"Monday evenâ€" ing to organize and arrange for hockey in Timmins for the coming season of 1926â€"1927 was one of the best sports meetings ever hel® in the camp. There were about 70 hockey fans present, all enthusiastic and inâ€" terested, and hockey for the coming Enthusiastic Big Gathering Elects Officers for Hockey season was given an auspicious start.} The Timmins Hockey Club was formâ€" ed, with a strong working executive, and it was decided to ‘back hockey here to the limit. It was a harmoniâ€" ous and friendly meeting, yet all present had their different viewpoints and all opinions were given fair conâ€" sideration. The meeting decided that before affiliation was made with the N.O.H.A. again, the latter body, had to be cleaned up. There seemed to be special desire to centre on Junior hockey, but after discussion and conâ€" sideration the officers and executive were left to deal with all hockey in the town. The meeting opened in the town hall shortly after 8 p.m., with Presiâ€" dent Chas. Roach in the chair, and the room filled with hockey fans. The 1925â€"1926 President explained the financial position of the Poreupine Jumor Hockey Club. The season had been closed with all debts parid and no obligations outstanding. Mr. Roach said that any who wished to see the financial statement which had been published in due form could do so by consulting The Advance of March 4th. While there had been a deficit of $150.00 for the season from the N.O.H.A. period, this deficit had been covered by the kind donation made by the Hollinger Mine. The election of officers was then taken up, Fire Chief A. Borland beâ€" ing unanimously and enthusiasticalâ€" ly elected as President for the comâ€" ing season. President Borland was asked to take the chair. He thanked the boys for the honour conferred. ‘""‘I intended to drop out of hockey for good this year,‘‘ he said, ‘‘but on second thought the time to quit is not when things are going poorly but when things are smooth, and so I will stay with the game for anâ€" other year. It is my hope that this coming season we will send our Juniâ€" ors to Toronto. _ If it had not been for a streak of hard luck they would ha\.e gone to Toronto the past seaâ€" son. President â€" Borland thought the hope for having a (hdlIlplOnShlp team rested with centering on the Juniors. Mr. R. Carmichael was unaniâ€" mously chosen for the office of treasâ€" urer. Mr. Jos. Monoghan was unanimousâ€" ly elected viceâ€"préesident. Messrs J. A. MacDonald and J. N. Levine were nominated for the posiâ€" tion of secretary, Mr. J. A. MeDonald being elected. There were eleven nominated for the executive as follows:â€"Jos. Everâ€" ard, H. W. Hooker, J. Seully, C. G. Williams, Chas. Roach, A. Brady, W. (¢. Smith, J. Closs, ‘"‘Pat‘‘ Patterson, Chas. Roberts and W. Arundel. It was decided to limit the executive to five members, and on a ballot being held the following five were selected as the members of the executive:â€" Messrs C. G,. Williams, J. Everard, Chas. Roach, W. G. Smith and Mr. Brady. . Mr. J. Knox was unanimously electâ€" ed as Honorary President, and Mr. R,. J. Ennis as First Honorary Viceâ€" President. Mr. W. Arundel was elected Second Honorary Viceâ€"Presiâ€" dent. In view of the fact that South Porâ€" cupine will likely have a rink of its own this coming season, and also a good team of its own, and so there would be confusion by the use here of the name Poreupine Hockey Club, it was decided that hereafter the asâ€" soctation should be known as the Timâ€" mins Hockey Club. This decision was duly endorsed by a vote on the matter. There was a general discussion on the kind of hockey to be played here next season. Many were in favour of centering on the Junior Team, as the only way to have a championship teard. Others thought that Senior or Intermediate hockey should not be ruled out. Some suggested that the club be called the Timmins Junior Hockey Club and that if there were other teams separate organizations should be formed to handle them. Against this was argued the fact that duplication of organization â€" would lead to divided effort and eqnfusion. By a resolution being passed to the effect that the executive look after all hockey in the town if it were found desirable to enter the N.O.H.A. that they first see that the N.O.H.A. was cleaned up from its poor standâ€" ing of the past season,. The feeling of the meeting seemed to be that it would be well next season to centre on the Junior team, but that another team might be warranted and that the executive would bein position latâ€" er to decide as to the best eourse in the matter. The retiring president, Mr. Chas. Roach, had suggested a working comâ€" mittee of twentyâ€"five or so to assist the executive. He thought such a committee would add to the generat interest as well} as accomplishing much good work later in the year. The idea found favour with the gathering, and the choice of this comâ€" mittee was left in the hands of the oficers and executive., The matter of the selection of a coach and manager was also left to the executive. President Borland called upon all to give the fullest support in every way to clean amateur hockey, and was warmly cheered. The meeting was generally recogâ€" nized as the best ever held here in the interests of hockey and arguring well for the success of hockey in Timâ€" mins in the coming season. Prosiâ€" dent Borland commented on the genâ€" erous support always given by the people here to sport, instancing the way the fans had all stood by the losâ€" ing team of last season. He asked tor a continuance of this good supâ€" port from all, and prophesied that with such support the coming season would assuredly be a good one. NO FOUL PLAY IN DEATH OFP MR. GEORGE ANDERSONKX Last week there were some tumâ€" ours afloat suggesting that there might be more than accident responâ€" sible for the death of George Anderâ€" son near Matheson. The inquest disâ€" proved these rumours. A despatch from Matheson last week says :â€" ‘‘All suspicion of foul play in conâ€" nection with the death of George Anâ€" derson, whose remains were found in a mutilated condition in the ashes of his shack which was destroyed by fire, were disposed of today when it was discovered that Anderson kept considerable powder in his shack, for use in connection with his prospectâ€" ing activities. In the explosion which accompanied the fire, Anderson‘s body was blown to pices, his skull vadly shattered while the shack was azed to the ground. Anderson‘s watch was found several feet outside the shack where it had been thrown, evidently by the explosion. The vicâ€" tim was over 50 years of age, and unâ€" married. He lived on a small farm about two miles from Matheson, and he was formerly employed by the AXbitibi at their dam on Watabeag Lake. The case was investigated by Constable Delves of Porquis Juneâ€" MANIAG BELIEVED T0 BE AT LARE IN CocHRn Women â€" Molested and _ Children Frightemed. Police (Relieve Some Demented Person Reâ€" sponsible tion.‘‘ Reports from Cochrane would indiâ€" cate that some sort of a maniac is at large in that town. A number of despatches sent out from the Northâ€" ern<town would indicate ‘ithat the people in Cochrane are greatly alarmâ€" ed. There may be some exaggeration in regard to the degree of alarm felt by the people, but undoubtedly the town will be but showing normal feeclâ€" ing if women and children are someâ€" what anxious in regard to being out aâ€" lone, especially at night. Despatches from Cochrane last week suo'gest the story :â€" ‘‘That a madman, capable of comâ€" mitting almost any crime, is at large, is the conclusion reached by the police authorities of iCochrane, folâ€" lowing their investigation of a numâ€" ber of mysterious crimes that have occurred here within the past two weeks. The seriousness of the situaâ€" tion is now becoming impressed on the minds of the citizens, with the reâ€" sult that the wives of some residents are on the verge of hysteria. ‘+Reports have reached the police with more or less regularity during the winter of a certain **‘Jackâ€"theâ€" Hugger,"‘ who was alleged to have molested women while they were walking along a path which crosses the lake. Most of these attacks took place at night, and on several ocâ€" casions the police posted men, dressâ€" ed up as women, in an effort to locate the marauder. He made no appearâ€" ance on these nights, and the police found difficulty in getting a clear deâ€" seription of his appearance. ‘‘"A week ago Saturday night Mr. and Mrs. Frank Gowdy were disturbâ€" ed by someone stopping at the winâ€" dow of their bedroom and apparentâ€" ly trying to peek into the room. (oâ€" ing upstairs Mr. Gowdy found a man on top of a porch roof trying to effect an entrance to the bathroom window. ‘‘The stranger escaped across the lake followed by three shots from Mr. Gowdy‘s revolver. The followâ€" ing Tuesday night Mr. and Mrs. Gowdy were entertaining visitors in their living room, when they again heard someone step in front of the window. Mrs. Gowdy rushed out on the veranda and the next moment there was a crashing of lDushes where the man had made his escape to the side of the lake. Mr. Gowdy again gave chase, but to no svail.‘‘ Thursday, April 1st, 1926
