They all will join a new club that is being formâ€" ed in Nottingham, to be known as The Nottingham Panthers. A new arena was recently erected in that city and it is building itself a home team.

Secretary is Ned Ward, From time to time throughout the summer tournaments will be held. Two of the trio, Godin and Grabowâ€" ski, have played in England for three seasons. They were members of The Wembley Lions and the Manchester Raplds. Workmen have been busy on the courts for some weeks. Constructed of concrete, they are the most upâ€"toâ€"date thing in tennis surfaces in the camp. Around the large area they cover is a high reinforced fence so that players do not have to chase balls. This will be Fasano‘s first season in Engand. The slim forward wWwas a sensation here last winter with the Mines League champions, the Buffalo Ankerite. Godin played in Timmins during the 1932â€"33 season and Grabowski played on theforward line here during the same winter Hockey is developing a big following in Englnd and promises to become a major sport there.

The team faltered badly in the last half to lose a league match 3 goals to 2. On the play in the first half the Hollyites should have had a better margin than the one goal they did gain. Bedeviled with bad luck and failing to take advantage, of all the breaks offered them they managed to get only the gingle counter, Horne was shifted to the centre forâ€" ward position at the beginning of the second half and the change proved to be good strategy. He scored two of the goals for the Dome and played in the third. Heavy rain during the earlier part of the afternoon had soaked the turf and the ball soon became sodden and heavy. Early in the first half, Chalâ€" mers took the ball and relayed it to teamâ€"mate â€" Littlewood who banged away at the net for the first of two Hollinger counters and the only score of the initial session. Horne at center with Whyte and Foster on the wings proved a deadly combination in the second half. They early deadlocked the score. _ Ylaying the ball up the field, they passed to Wisheart at the side. Wisheart took the sphere further and then centred over to Horne who took the ball on his toe and let fly. Dome took the edge soon after when Foster cornerâ€"kicked to Horne who headed the ball into the net. Horne tallied again soon after on an effort that was almast his alone. _ He took the ball almost at the centre Hollinger Soccerites, Drop Away Badly in Tilt Tuesday Horne tallied again soon after on an effort that was almast his alone. â€" He took the ball almost at the centre mark and carried it up the field,. Near the Hollinger goal he threaded his way through a maze of players and put a straight hard shot past Burch. Chase got the second Hollinger goal on a masterful effort in the dying moâ€" ments of the game. From well out, he drilled an angle shot to ring the bell. McClure and Hagen were two new men with the Hollinger. A former Toronto Scottish man, McClure showed phyâ€"mé¥king tactics that will be of adâ€" vantage to his team. A recent junior, Hagen showed promise. Objects to Bad Roads in Kirkland Lake District "But there is little excuse for alâ€" lowing conditions on Friday, the eve of a big holiday, to be such that a car tore out its battery and battery housâ€" ing in a hole south of Kénogamii bridge. While this was the only casuâ€" alty of its kind that we know of, one had only to watch the long string of cars swaying through this particular bit of "no man‘s land" to realize that considerable damage must have been done to many machines. "This was by no means the only â€"kad The following is an editorial from Tuesday‘s Northern News: "Road conditions over the holiday were anything but good. Admittedly winter ploughing has done serious damage by allowing frost to penetrate deeply and causing "boils‘ on a light surface as late as the end of June, and admittedly there have been heavy rains. ind First Half With Only Goal Scored After Missing Other Scoring Opportunities.

The Riverside Swimming Pool is operating in full swing and hundreds of children are taking adâ€" vantage of its facilities, â€"The pool is, again this year under the personal supervision of Mr. A. R. Fisher. Last year, although weather conditions were adverse, the results of instruction were very gratifying. Over one hundred children learned to swim, while hundreds more were given a supâ€" ervised swimming place. During the seaâ€" son no serious accident occurred, and only once was the supervisor called upon to aid a child in distress. This was greatly due to the fact that most children obeyed rules and made superâ€" vision much easier. It has been impossible to contact all parents of children who wish to attend these classes of instruction for beginners or the supervised swimming periods. However any parents who wish their children to take advantage of this opportunity may get informaâ€" tion at the pool from the instructor.. Kiverside Swimming Pool Supervised Again for the Children. Swimming classes started this week with boys coming on Monday and Thursday morning from 9 to 12 a.m. and girls on Tuesday and Friday mornings at the same time. .

TIMMINS 524 5 CEDAR STREET NORTH 74 BRUCE AVENUE FOR SERVICE PHONE Flurry of Runs in Seventh And Elghth Innings Places Hollmgu in Second Place In a game that ended in a donnyâ€" breok yesterday afternoon at the Mceâ€" Intyre park, the Hollinger squad, led by hurler Za‘ba, who allowed only two hits, won a five to one victory over the Macmen. By virtue of the win the Hollinger pulled itself into a seâ€" cond place deadlock in the standing with the MoIntym», Both teams are still in the shade of the heavy hitting Timâ€" mins nine. The melee was finally quelled but not before the mascots of the teams had got their ire up and decided to take it out on each other. In the second Quinn walked to first base and went to second on Thayer‘s single. He made home when Callery hit a single over short stop. Until the fifth it was close ball with no one gaining first shack. In the fifth with two men out, Zalba hit a single to second base and took second when Scearlett hit through the pitcher. Howâ€" ever he was over anxious in trying to make third and was caught on a throw from first to third baseman. Thompson claimed that he had been spiked and before long the third base was a struggling mass of players, The Maomen poured out of their dugout and raced over to the scene of operâ€" ations. They were closely followed by Hollinger worthies and the debacle beâ€" gan. Fists few and here and there pairs of players would separate from the struggling mass and go over to one side to settle their own little differenâ€" ces. Both MceIntyre hits were gained in the second inning, and in the same frame, came their run. They held the Hollinger under a one run handiâ€" cap until the seventh and eighth when the Hollyites started to hit Callery. When they did get his range they pounded him all over the lot. In the two innings Hollinger hit three doubles and a single for a total of five runs. The Macmen did not like the furry of Hollinger hits and showed it by rooting at Zalba. When, in the final play of the game, a relay from Savoie to Thompson caught McNeill on his way in to third base McIntyre temâ€" pers broke. Still indicating their intention to make up the one run they were down and perhaps do better, the Hollinger put a man on third in the next inning. Rude!l walked and went to second on Dorey‘s sacrifice. He gained third when Knight hit a single but was left there when the side retired on SBavoie‘s fly to laft field. In the seventh the runs started to cross the pan. Romualdi went on base on interference Cooke‘s mitt struck his bat. Thompson made his first sacâ€" rifice and Zalba drove a double to right field just inside the line to bring Roâ€" mualdi home. Zalba stole third and came home sliding when Cooke, the McIntyre catcher, dropped the ball. A run down, the Macmen went into the eighth and were retired, one, two, three. Oltean, first Hollinger man to bat in the eighth, doubled to right field. Knight followed with a single on which Oltean made two bases to score. Savoie doubled and Knight came home. Savâ€" oli> came in on a pretty squeeze play. He started for home the minute the ball left Callery‘s hand and Thompson came through with a sacrifice. Darrach was taken out of the game in the fourth inning. He went after Thayer‘s fly to right field and crashed into the fence around the diamond. He was replaced by Knight.
