Honour Shield Named After Andy Roberts in Recognition of That Player‘s Fine Sportsmanship and Service to Football in This District. Many Triâ€" butes to Mr. E. H. Bridger. A Pleasant Evening. There were about a hundred footâ€" ball enthusiasts at the annual Poreuâ€" pine District Football League smoker held in the Mose hall (Roller Rink building), across from the station, on Friday evening last. _ The evening was a most enjoyable one throughout and all present hbhad a good time. There were lots of free smokes, ciâ€" and cigarettes, etce., and the musi $3.00 $5.00 Cobalt cal programme was a good on« was a regular oldâ€"time happy ing of the football boys. President Duxfield made ret'eren(-ei to the honour to Mr. G. Collins in beâ€" ing awarded the Honour Shield for showing the best sportsmanship on and off the field during the season. The president commented that there had been several others in the runâ€" ning for this honour, but unfortunaieâ€" ly there were still others who had shown a poor brand of sportsmanship. He instanced cases and said that this sort of thing would be stamped out. Mr. Duxfichkl expressed the general regret that Mr. E. H. Bridger, of Toâ€" ronto, was unable to hbe present, but called oa AMr. G. A. Macdonald, who make the presentations on his behalf. Mr. Macdonald referred to the debt owed to Mr. Bridger for what he had done for football when he was a reâ€" sident of Timmins and also for his continued interest and generosity. He read a message sent by Mr. Bridâ€" ger by wire, this message to the boys being as follows :â€" ‘‘Due to severe pressure of work in this hectic market, it is impossible for me to be with you in person toâ€" night. You may rest assured though that I will be thinking of you and wishing I could be there. It gives me much pleasure to ask you, on my behalf, to present the McIntyre boys THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO itherâ€" nowadays taken the was known that Mr. Bridger had addâ€" ed to us already nnte\\oxthv gift to football by allnw the new smcld "The \nd\ Roberts Honour Shield, "} Mr. Macdonald added his to the fine sportsmanship shown by Mr. Roberts on and off the field, and askâ€"| ed My.

Collins, and the shield to the clubi to which Mr. Collins belongedâ€"thgé, Hollinger,. \ There was great enthusiasm when it ’g | Though evidently greatly surprised | Mr. Roberts thanked the donor for the high honour given in the naming| of the shield. "‘I have always tried to play clean football.‘‘ said Andy,] "and I have found nearly everybody else played clean. It‘s a fine game!‘‘ Mr. Roberts then presented the shield to Mr. S. Johns, president of the Holâ€" linger Football Club, and the medal to Mr. Collins. Mr. Johns in expressâ€" ing his appreciation of the honour to the Hollinger Football Club, referred. to the fine sportsmanship of Mr. Colâ€" lins and the other players, and the kindly interest shown by Mr. Bridger. Mr. Collins was given a great reâ€" ception and repeatedly called upon for a speech. His words were brief but to ‘the: point. ‘‘I thank. Mr. Bridger,‘‘ he said, ‘‘and I will try to play harder next year, but L hope some one beats me.‘‘ Presentation of .the Garrett Shield for the winner of the League, with the E. H. Bridger medals for the players of the winning club, and the P.D.EF.L, medals for the runnersâ€"up, as well as the presentation of the Boxer Cup and medals to the Cornish Footbail Club featured the evening also. The following were the winning teams and players :â€"â€" s +2 oT lections and associations with Andy in footer since the early days of the camp have always led me to believe that no stauncher supporter could be found. Then too, I believe, he is about the only one of the. originals still left playing. For his interest and support in the past I have with great pleasure named the shield after him. To Mr. Collins, I extend a hearâ€" ty grip and congratulate him in being the choice of the league as a good sportsmanâ€"a thing that unfortunateâ€" ly is becoming somewhat rare in many branches of sport.

Pond‘s address made a special hit, by its friendliness and the number of points it covered in able way. He referred especially to the time and talent given to the P.D. F.L. by Mr. Duxfield, the president, and by the secretary, and the vote of thanks he suggested was heartily apâ€" plauded. Mr. Pond also emphasized the fact that criticism was cheap, but real sport was where all worked toâ€" gether to advance the common interâ€" ests of the sport and have everything going smoothly and well. As Mr. Parkin commented, ‘‘Mr. Pond is a real peaceâ€"maker, and a valuable man for football.‘"‘ A deal of very considerable importâ€" ance is under negotiation in the Rouyn district involving merger between several groups of wellâ€"known and wellâ€"located properties. _ Officials in each case are somewhat reticent, but details will probably be available within the coming week. There was a fine programme of vocal and instrumental music, Messrs Galloway and W. H. Wilson playing the piano accompaniments in talented way. Songs were given by Messtrs Bates, Galloway, Teasdale, A. J. Downie, Jas. Cowan, and Parker. Each and every one of these songs was greatly enjoyed, all being speciâ€" ally good. Each singer made a speciâ€" al hit and all were insistently encored. The evening closed with ‘‘God Save the King,‘‘ all present feeling that the evening had been a very pleasant and successful one. PDEAL IN IMPORTANCE IN ROUYN PROPERTIES Among the properties involved is part of the holdings of Duprat, situatâ€" ed adjacent to Waite Montgomery, as well as the Duprat group lying adjaâ€" cent to Amulet. From the informaâ€" tion available, Duprat itself would not be involved as a company in the merger, but would permit these two parts of the company‘s holdings to be merged in the new enterprise and would take a large block of stock in the new company in exchange. Duprat itself would also continue in operation on its other properties. The deal will be an important one for Duprat. The new company plans to take in exceptionally big acreage all in one large block adjoining Amulet and Waite Montgomery on the west, and on some part of which are known ore deposits. The merger is understood to involve the Perron claims, as well as other adjacent properties A faâ€" vourable feature is the fact that very strong financial interests have identiâ€" fied themselves with the project and that the enterprise will be representâ€" ed by an aggressive board of direcâ€" tors. Finances are assured, pending ratification of the deal by the shareâ€" holders of the contracting companies. READY TO ASSIST IN TRAINING MALE CHORUS Mrs. Wilkins, a musician of wellâ€" known ability, informs The Advance that in case the Male Chorus desires to resume its activities here, she will be pleased to assist in the training of that choir. The WTimmins Male Chorus achieved a remarkable measâ€" ure of succeess here in past years under the leadership of Mr. R. R. Johnston. It appears to be regrettable that the choir should be discontinued or stay dormant, as it promises to do on acâ€" count of the removal of Mr. Johnston from town. Mrs. Wilkins has a wellâ€" merited reputation as a capable and widelyâ€"experienced _ musician, _ and having had the training of other male choruses in years past, those interestâ€" ed might do well indeed to take the matter up with Mrs. Wilkins in reâ€" gard to a revival of the Timmins Male Chorus. Stanley Danevich, the Pole who tried to commit suicide recently near North Bay, was sentenced to four months in Burwash. He blamed bad luck and worse liquor for making him despondent, and expressed . pleasure at being allowed to recuperate in a nice jail farm with everything supâ€" plied.
