The young man wanted a job. or at least he asked what usually goes with a job, and that is the money. He did‘ not outline his qualifications for any job but he did mention his cap- abilities as a baseball player. He un- derstood the Timmins baseball club was loaking for players and he was ready to give references and press clippings as tohis baseball ability. He remarks that this is the first season he has had to use his baseball ability to earn a. livelihood. but his letter suggests that it is not. so with others. “Here in To- ronto,” the letter reads, “it is hard to get a. position. You are nearly al- ways given a certain amount when you sign a contract.” The Timmins hockey team this last winter has given an illustration how there can be first-class strictly amateur sport without “giving a. certain amount when the ' contract is signed" or be- devilling amateur sport in any other way. The real spurts here were well pleased with the real sport in hockey this" year. They would like the same sort of thing in baseball. If this town with 14,000 population to draw from cannot «have a. team of its own on a true amateur basis it had better forget it. With hundreds of men here out of workitisalsohardhemtogetpom- tions, and it dos not look like good sport to make it any worse. There should be generous sport for amateur sport, but it should be kept truly ama- teursofarasdirectormdirect payis concerned. A letter received recently in town elves evidence of how “amateur" base- ball is run in the city of Toronto. No doubt what applies in this case to base- ball 1101sz good in reference to other lines of sport. It is great stuff for “amateur" sport. And with all this Toronto has the temerity to lecture ether places on keeping amateur spsrt clean. 1' A rummage sale is to be held under the auspices of the Girls' Club of the Umted Church on Satmday morning.

The relief diver expressed the opinion that Duval, on the outward trip, had walked across the bed of the river, thus escaping much of the force of the cur- rent, but the difference represented by the five-foot edge brought his body up against a torrent of water he could not resist. His heavy driver’s boots were swept off his feet. one of them going through the gap between two of the logs. Although the body was donated before half past six Thm'sday after- :noon, so much work had to be done ‘ with the logs that it was daybreak be- fore it could be released from the river. Duval had been working in the water without difficulty for some time before mm he: the «afternoons-when- his plight was noticed by the men en- gaged with him. When it was found he could not be released from his posi- tion, J. P. Vachon, in charge of the work, got in touch with Ottawa. and with the airplane base at Elk Lake. Within a short time, Pilot Langfiord had responded to the call, and in the in- terval. Mr. Vachon had wmmunicated with Albert Gagnon at Haileybury, and the latter with Mr. Nadeau at Cobalt. By chance, there was a diving suit in Cobalt, which Mr. theau had used during the week to examine the intake pipe at the (town‘s pumping station at Sasaginaga. Lake. This job had been finished, and the suit was packed ready for re-shtpment to its owner in Toron- i Duval, who was '36 years of age. un- married. and with his home at Guigues across Lake Temiskmning from Hailey- bury, was making the last (trip of a ser- ies undertaken in connection with re~ pair work being done to the dam. Acâ€" conding to Joseph Nadeau, the Cabalt town councillor who subsequently dam ned a. diver suit and went down into the river, Duval was crossing the con-- crete ledge between two piers, and ap- parently the force of the corrent swept him off his balance. His right hand caught between two of the stop lags, his left foot was similarly held lower down and the hagfiess man was pinned firm- ly against the barrier formed- by the logs, while fellow workers, a. few feet over his head on the dam itself, were powerless to assist. Meantime, B. V. Harrison general manager of the Canada Northern Pow- er Corporation at New Liskeard. also had been communicated with, and em- ployees of that company go: in touch mm Mayor Wainwright at Cobalt, and he took the responsibility of releasing the diving suit. Mr. Nadeau gathemd up a anew. including one of his sons, Maurice, with Zenon Duval and J. B. Jodouin, and these three, Mth Dr. J. A. Joyal, of Halleybury. made a trip with the pilot to prepare for the diver’s coming. Mr. Nadeau, with the pump, followed, and less than half an hour after leaving here, he was in the water and had located the body. Duval had been dead some hours then, Mr. Na- deau said. According to a dwmtoh from Hailey- bury last week William Duval. a. diver employed by the Federal Degurtment of Public Works was crushed to death by the relentless force of the stream while at work and trapped under the raging waters of the Quinze river when one hand and one foot became jammed at one :1“ the gates on the government storage dam a: Angliers. The force of the water eventually burst his diving suit. His body was recovered early Fri- day morning. after the stop logs at. the gate had been raised to pénmc of it being released, and alter a diver had been rushed by airpiane to one scene from Cobalt. Diver Loses Life When Suit Bursts All through the night, in a steady rain, efforts were concentrated on re- leasing the body. Mr. Nadeau made four trips into the river. being handi- capped by the darkness and weather. but about six o'clock Friday morning. after three of the gates had (been open- ed. Duval’s body was floated through one of them and downstream about. 200 yards. where it. was taken into a boat and brought. to shove. Dre. Joyal and Cartier, the lwtter from Ville Marie. remained at the dam throughout the night. while there was no lack of will- William Dnval Meets with Fatal Acci- dent While at Work on the Quinn Rim Storage Dam. 1213 bands to and. in the work.
