softtba‘l, Unvr‘ccantness in the Northâ€" ern Ontar‘s body, springing mainly from Sudbury and Kirkland Lake, has given a wrong impression of the sport. Too much hagaling over petty details anq a gencerally unsvortsmanlike atâ€" tit:de on the part of the clubs in some northern towns has done its damage. Evin in Timmins the girls have not been given the chance they deserve to play the game as it should be. Specâ€" tators at last year‘s gamss were altoâ€" gether unfair in their attituds.

All in All last year Miss Gigg received and answered some 400 letters and sont out 44 telegrams,.

At once, the question suggests itself : Why is it that cricketers in Canada have no such professional instruction, of which the game is sorely in need?

There must be thousands of competent professionals in Ergland, whose services would be of insstimable value to Canaâ€" dian youth. Why do they nos come? Priefly, for two reasons: First,. they find full employment at home, and second, even if they were available, Canadian cricket is not financially able to induce them to come. The growth of cricket in Canada is worth while.
