For an exhibition game the match was of particular inâ€" terest, as it showed that there will be a specially good team to represent Timmins in the Junior N. 0. H. A., while the strength of the Hollinger team â€" indicates the highâ€"class of speedy hockey that may be expected from the Mines League this season. The Timmins Juniors have shown creat improvement along every line ince their first appearance on the 1ce, and all are convinced now that they hold every promise of being a team to be proud of. _ They will certainly give the Iroquois Falls boys a big run for their money, though it is said that the Falls this year have a better team than last year, but as the same may be said about Timmins, the issue is still in doubt for the season. Timmins, however, believes that it has a winning team for this season and if they continue as they have started this town will have every reason to be proud of them.
