GPECIAL MEETING OF+â€" CGOUNSIL LAST THURSDAY Securing a team to go to Kirkland Lake on Saturday last for the first match in the King Cup series was reâ€" miniscent of old football days here. Half an hbour before the train left there was deperate effort being made to round up enough players to make a team. â€" One of the regular players was meeting his family after an absence of over two years. Another was laid up with injuries sustained in a recent match. â€" Still another could not spare the time from work. An so it went. But eventually a complete eleven was secured, just as in the days of old. And the pickâ€"up team gave a fine acâ€" count of itself. _ The forward line went at Kirkland Lake with a vim and snap that left the Lake fairly vasping. Inside of fifteen minutes Timmins had a four goal lead. The final seore was 4 to 2 in favour of Timmins. All who saw the match say that each and every Timmins player gave the best and that best was splendid stuff. Not a man on the team but played a dandy game. It was a match worth seeing. ‘The regulars on the lineâ€"up fairly excelled themselves, and McelLAtchie, Adamson and Lanâ€" ders deserve special mention. Adamâ€" son was great at back, and MeLatchie vate a fine game indeed. Joe Landers plaved the best game of his young life and showed that he has all the promise of giving a creditable account of himself in fast senior company. The Timmins team included:â€"BIâ€" rick, goal, Ned Dougall and Adamson, backs; G. Cooper, W. 5. B.

When bills went out at the end of the month, however, the man supposed to be the father concerned, called to say he had not contracted the bill and knew nothing awhout it. Investigation showed that the young.girl had been putting one over.

The youngster‘s schemes have been called to the police‘s attention, and effort is being made to find out what is what.
