Organize for Tennis |; Toâ€"Morrow Night :. Tennis courts are drying up and the enthusiasts of the fast game are getting ready for a real season. They make their first move toward organizing for the 1936 season toâ€"morrow â€" (Friday) night when the annual meeting of the Timmins Tennis cluo is to be held in the town hall, beginning at eight O‘ciock. Members of Timmins Tennis Club and All Interested Asked to Attend Annual Meeting. who art 10 Lake Shore Team has Six New Players Now Etuff. Six n<wsomers are being counted alll of th:m with fine baseball reputations, and what with alreadyâ€"acquainted loâ€" cal athletes who have put in a winter of sport here, others not listed and thel usual one or two whose talents are not heralded except on the practice field, Lake Shore‘s squad should be plenty hot. St. Thomas Touch Leading baseball names of the newâ€" comers are "Tip" Miller, who played with St. Thomas and Stratford when those clubs were crowned with the O.B.A.A. senior laurel and ‘"Lefty" Weeks, who did the same thing. Miller, a short stop, was rated the best in the amateur game last year while Weeks was good enough to hold @a leading spot in throwing averages as a Brockville pitcher in the highlyâ€"rated St. Lawrence League while it was still amateur. To start at the starting place there will be a familiar figure behind the bat in Mike Timmis, team coach this year, playing his third year of ball here, an Irish battler who argues every point and keeps a game pepped up while his pitcher handling and stickwork are Oof high calibre. 4 Out on the hill top where the flinger dominated everything "Red" Busey, youthful star of last year‘s mound corps, will lead those who throw them from the right side and Weeks will be the ranking star of the four flingers. "Lefty" Cooper, local boy who pitchec Juniors to a title in 1934, and Blanchâ€" field, rightâ€"hander from Niagara Falls, will make up the mound staff of four. Two New Infielders First and second spot in the infield will be filled by familiar faces with "Lefty" Starr being counted on for the startâ€"off sack angq Carl Harding likely startâ€"off sack angq Carl Harding likely to hold down second. Changes start from there. Tip Miller is the short field choice, although he‘s not here yvet, and thirdâ€"base duties will be shared by Hewitt, Sarnia boy, who playeq with the St. Thomas Tom Cats champs of 1933 and Doherty, an Ameriâ€" can lad, who did red light duty in one of the finals with Toburn last year.

Now I bring you to a the swing where the shot is spoiled. Most players look upon the downâ€" swing as the only really important part of the swing. This is wrong because your downswing cannot be one bit better than your backswing. Having made the correct backswing, all you have to do is keep your chin properly pointed and swing the club downward toward the ball. Any attempt to guide the club or consciously direct parts of your body in the downswing results only in upâ€" setting the swing as a whole. It spoils the timing and blending of the various movements. When you give most of your attention to pointing your chin you‘ll find that the rest of your swing is under subconscious control, the sort of control under which it is almost imâ€" possible to make a mistake., Practise swinging down and your chin pointed back of the covering the hitting position n I‘ll toll you more about the c It was Bank Holiday farm laborer, had do clothes for the occasior put on his newlyâ€"acquir parading the village h postman. ‘"‘Gosh, Bert," Bert Thought he had a Big Bargain in the Footwear "Â¥e go look smar ye get such big down at them pt said in all serio bargain.

Toâ€"morrow evening the Timmins Tennis Club meets in the town hall to elect its officers. Tennis is definitely on the upâ€"grade here after having been through a few seasons in which interest and executive ability apâ€" peareq to be missing. Last year there was one ‘big tourney in Timmins and plans were ready for a real Northern Ontario tournament which never came off, since it was organized a bit late in the year. The coming season should see a large number of additional members in the local club, as well as an improved roster at the Hollinger, McIntyre and Dome clubs. None of these are expenâ€" sive. They limit their activities to the idea of getting as much enjoyment out of the game as possible.‘ Not only the present members of the NOt on!y Thne S Qi uwi clud, but prospective members have been invited to attend toâ€"morrow night‘s meeting. The other annual is of the Timmins Curling Club, another popular game here in which participation rather than onlooking is of prime importance. Durâ€" ing the coming season the local curiers will be hosts to all the clubs of the T. N. O. district, when the year‘s most important «eurling bonspiel in the North is held. Monday, May 18th, will be the eleventh time the directors of the club have gathered to elect officers and it will be the first time the curling club members will have met in the, spring. The real reason behind it all is to get properly organized for the big bonspiel. . get the committees appointed and at. work, and get the prizes lined up. | | A Goog Beginning ‘ The decision of the Porcupine Men‘s: Ssoftball Association to limit the numâ€" ber of teams competing in the league this year to six is a wise one. It is next to impossible to play more than three games a week in the league as at present constituted, and one game a week per team is none too many. Those who don‘t play firstâ€"class softâ€" ballâ€"and there are plenty of young in Timmins who enjoy a game without being in the class that specâ€" tators like to watchâ€"are at liberty to and should form a second league, operâ€" ating whenever the opportunity turns up. They‘l! have just as much fun as their more proficient contemporaries and won‘t have to be bothered with the inevitable technicalities that arise from sport as at present organized. There is a definite shortage of good softball players in Timmins. No oneé, fcrtunately, has ever begun the importâ€" | ing business, and the consequence has l been that some positions at least are !hard to fill. The battery in softball is |relativley more important than it is in the parent game, baseball. And that‘s where the Poreupine is short. This seaâ€" son will undoubtedly find a few more new men on the mound but it isn‘t because they‘ve been enticed to come to Timmins that they‘ll be there. It‘s because they just happened to arrive, along with a hundred other people who have foung joos in the camp. Baseball Gossip The gates come down in the Temisâ€" kaming Baseball League next Priday midnight. Until then the prospects of the three, or possibly four teams in the Northern group will not be known. Certainly there will be‘new talent. New pitchers will appear on every one of the teams but how good they‘ll be, nobody can tell yvet. Lefty Goldsmith, who was rumoured to be in this part of the North, is now reported to be playing with a Southern Ontario club. The_same thing appli¢s to a hundred and one other rumours hearg recently. Most of the Kirkland Lake group players have been signed and the teams there are satisfied with what they‘ve got. But for another few days at least it will be next to imposâ€" sible to say who‘ll be playing where in the northern T.BL. group.

So get your boy a bicycle just as soon as you can and let him enjoy the thrill and freedom and fun that only a bicycle can give. Don‘t delay because, as you know, boys grow up very quicklyâ€"become "big shots"‘ and have to work and worry instead of laugh and play in the sunshine. So help your son to enjoy a full boyhood by getting him a C.C.M. bicycle. I say a C.C.M. because it‘s the bike I first selected, and in all my years on the track I‘ve never found anything better. The C.C.M. is a really beautiful piece of precision machinery. _ If it wasn‘t it would never carry me at top speed hour after hour around the race track and it‘s not my C.C.M.‘s fault that "we‘"‘ don‘t go faster. and be sure it‘s a CLEAN HANDS C‘mon, Dad.

In addition to the two teams mentioned, Westinghouse, Palace Theatres, Tuxis Grads and Mcâ€" Intyre are the others. south Porcupine appears to be elimâ€" inated but it isn‘t.

New Player Regulations Introduced Keep Rosters Open Until End of Season. â€" No Transfers After June 15th. No Deadline on New Players There is rno deadline now on signing up players who may take part in league cames. The only ‘stipulation is that all players in a team taking part in the playoffs must have played at least three regularly scheduled league games. A single team may have as many as 18 players on its roster but once they sign cards to play with one team, no transâ€" fers may be effected after June 15th. These regulations, the executive agreed, covered all possible situations. Double headers will be played the same as last year on weekâ€"ends,. A single game on Wednesday evening will complete the week‘s activities. The top three teams at the end 0f the seasorf will be eligible for playâ€" offs. Second and third teams will play a bestâ€"twoâ€"outâ€"ofâ€"three series to decide which shall meet the league leaders in the final bestâ€"twoâ€"outâ€"ofâ€"three series.
