The next event of the Canadian Leâ€" gion is a ‘Bingo" Night to be held toâ€" morrow (Friday) in the Legion hall. Members of the Legion, the Ladies‘ Auxiliary, and friends, are asked to be present and make the night one of the best. There are good prizes at any of these parties. (Edinburgh Scotsman) With new indoor rinks at Dundes and Kirkcaldy, and another nearing completion at Falkirk, ice hockey, inâ€" dependent of the weather, is expected to enjoy a greatly increased following throughout the season which is now in full swing. Glasgow has two Lteanmsâ€" the Mohawks and Kelvingroveâ€"and, if there is anything in a name, they will be strongly chalilenged by the Perth Panthers, the Fife Fliers, the Dundee Tigers, and the Falkirk Lionsâ€"truly a formidable group! Firstâ€"class players have been importâ€" ed from England and Canada, and a higher standard of skill is promised. A points competition for a new trophy is already in progress and the second part of the season will be devoted to a Jeaâ€" rgue tournament for the Canada Cup. Curiously enough, although the world‘s first skating cluwb was formed in Edinburgh (in 1744), ice hockey has not yet been introduced to the Capital. This state of affairs will no doubt be remedied when the new rink at Murâ€" rayfield is opened; but it will not be this Winter, for only the foundations of the building have taken shape. Bingo Night at Legion Toâ€"morrow (Friday) Night The meeting at Haileybury Sunday will be the fruits of two years of labor, it is pointed out in Sudbury. In the summer of 1937 first offers of a playâ€" off were made to the Gold Belt by the Nickel Belt. There was no takers beâ€" cause of cther committments. In April of this year a Nickel Belt delegate atâ€" tended the annual meeting of the ‘Temiskaming Baseball League and reâ€" peated the offer. Ice hockey, introduced to tt; world by Canada, is reputed to be the fastest game in the world. A new association could look afser all brands of baseball, it is argued by the sponsors of the N.O.BA. Senior clubs would be available from Sudbury, Kirkland Lake and Timmins. Interâ€" mediate entries could come from North Bay, Haileybury, Cobalt, New Liskeard, Temiskaming, Que., and from the Cadâ€" illacâ€"Malarticâ€"Bourlamaque â€" area in northwestern Quebec. Junior entries are now operating in Copper Cliff, North Bay, Timmins and Kirkland Lake.

He was secretary of the> Temiskaming North Bay was trying for a wider allâ€"northern loop at the same iime. When it was suggested the finish of the current season was the best time for such plans the move was shelved until its revival early this month. Lates®t on the Northern Ontario Baseâ€" ball Association is that Sault Ste. Marie Ont., might like a bye in junior ranks. The higher ranks in the diamond sport are defunct in the Algoma Capitai.

Basoall League when i flourished around Haileybury. Hockey Now Said ta he Popular in Scotland The reason behind the proposed forâ€" mation of a Northern Basaoball Associaâ€" tion, is a continuously unsatisfactory affiliation with both the E.O.B.A. and QBAA. The Nickel Belt and North Bay have no use for the Ontario Baseâ€" ball Association, with whom they have been hooked up for years. SBunday‘s meeting was first arranged for North Bay, the Gateway City clan having been the instigators of the gathering. Taking a complaint from Timmins into consideration that the travelling distance was too far, both North Bay and the Nickel Belt repreâ€" sentatives from Sudbury agreed to meet in Haileybury. Ike Solomon, manager of the MciInâ€" ivre team, and Viceâ€"President of the Temiskaming League has come out in the open with an opinion favouring the organization of a separate Northern loop and Gelegates from the other teams in the Porcupine have declared their infention of supporting the move. "Dan" McInnis, manager of the Holâ€" linger Club has long been in favour «of a Northern Association and the newly formed Timmins Baseball Club have instructed their two delegates, "Gigg" Carswell and Georze Belanger, to vote for the new diamond deal. With Timmins representatives reâ€" garded as unanimously in favour O6f the idea, sportinz observers feel confident that a Northern Ontario Raseball Asâ€" sociation will be formed at a meeting to be held in HMHalleybury on Sunday afternoon.

They are new to me and may be new to your readers. By the way, where do they all come from?" Where do they all come from? There is more than one source, of course. Every year just after examination time there is a recurrence of these "howlers." Teachers and examiners are supposed to note amusing answers and pass them on to the> newspapers. Last summer there was a list of half a column or so in The Ottawa Journal of "howlers" supposed to have been "made in Otâ€" tawa." Several bhooks have been pubâ€" lished containing collections of these "howlers." and this has given rise to the belief that sametimes they are manufactured by other than schoolboys in the normal course of answering questions.
