Blake, Schuâ€" « were set and officers elected on SBaturâ€" day a when the annual meetâ€" ing ofâ€"the northern group of the Norâ€" thern Sci;nols Association was he‘ld in Kirkland Lake. "No, T his mind working. When Pastor survived those first two rounds Louis decided to wait and nail him. After all, that Bob can take a good punch. ; And he‘s tough to hit, because he can move both ways. So Joe didn‘t waste many punches. He just waited, and the next time he hit Pastor that was the end of it." Louis was asked yesterday if he had planned beforehand to use only /his right on Pastor this time. "No," he saig, "I hadn‘t planned anyâ€" thing. But after we started it seemed like the best hand to use." Is Greatest Fighter ~ "Get this," said the former chamâ€" pion, "Joe is the: greatest fighter who ever entered the ring. He is the greatâ€" est fighter you will ever see in your life. He‘s as good now as he was the night he fought me. Why should he be slipping at 25? Jacobs Says No , Joe was sitting round a hotel beli}â€" room and watching amiably yesterday while the fizh} crowd gave Joe Jacobs, manager of Tony Galento, the works. They were telling Joe, a master celeâ€" brant, that in the uncertain small hours after the fight he had agreed to let Tony fight Pastor this winter,; with the winner meeting Louis next sumâ€" mer, Joe was screaming denials. Tony wouldn‘t fight anybody, he caid, until he meets Louis next June. Louis Says He Will Fight Farr ‘But. Not in Aeroâ€" _ planes." Detroit, BHept. 23.â€"Even the expert observers of fighting menâ€"and plenty of othersâ€"are saying that Joe Louis is slipping, that soft living has dulled his aim and that he no longer is the Rrown Bomber of a year ago. They say they saw the symptoms in the course of the nero‘s fight with Bob Pastor night before last. They don‘t think the "Old" Louis would have let any man survive five knockdowns in the first four minutes of fighting and then‘stick around until the 11th stanza before going down for good. So Jim Braddock was asked his opinâ€" ion. Big, popular Jim is the man from whom Louis won the title a little more than two years ago. ‘He should have a pretty good idea. play in Kirkland Lake and Iroquois Falls meets Cochrane, in Cochrane.

This disâ€" count will directly increase to the people of Northern Ontario the price of coal brought in from the Kentucky and Pennsylvania fields this winter. Cochrane Idea Fearing a possible cancellation of plans scheduled to being this fall for the commercial exploitation of the soft coal beds, because of the war emergency, the Cochrane Board> of Trade with the blessing of the town ‘council, is initiating the internment camp move to forestall any chance of development work at Onakawana being shelved.

It was argued that the kilt was not at all a sultable dress for trench warfare, and also that its bright colours made too good a target for the enemy. The Highlanders, howâ€" ever, hung on to their kilts, and though there were occasions during the war when other costumes were used for strategic reasons, the kilt remained the traditional garb. . It will interest many to note that the kilt is still recognized as the only apâ€" propriate clothing for. the gallant Highland regiments. Old Country newspapers at present are referring to the making of the kilt to supply the demand for the proper dressing of those once described by some Fritzies as "the Ladies from Hell."

All three centers now have artificial ice, and 2 full schedule can be carried out from October till March without regard for weather conditions. Again, this year, as in the past few seasons, there would be no "weak sisâ€" ter" to the setup. Lake Shore has alâ€" ready assembled a powerful club in Kirkland Lake. Timmins teams have brought in enough recruits to strengthâ€" Such an interâ€"city setup would lead to increased expenses, and help of the ‘companies in each centre would have to be solicited to bear the cost of lost time and travelling. But increased inâ€" terest,. brinzing rivalry .which has alâ€" ways been in the playofis between the nickel and gold mining camps, into the full season, would be sure to mean bigger gate receipts that would carry some of the load. The big question in such a proposal is what conditions are in Timmins. The Porcupine district was enthusiastic over its sixâ€"team circuit last year. The number of clubs has dwindled to five for this season, and the league may find itself in the same difficulties as confront the other two groups. World conditions have changed the picture in the past few weeks. No longer can any team count on young players remaining with the club in the face of increasing enlistments and othâ€" er war conditions. Suggest Three Team / Grouping for 1939 | With the turn of the season, club and league officials and wellâ€"wishers of the winter pastime have begun to consider seriously its plight in the Nickel Belt. War conditions are alâ€" ready having their effect on sport, and there is no doubt they will thin the player ranks considerably during the next few months. It seems certain the Nickel Belt, as it operated last year, will have to fold for the coming year at least, if not for the duration of the war. Since Sudâ€" bury cannot afford to drop from senâ€" ior hockey, the best solution here seems to be one team mustered from last year‘s three clubs. In both the southern and central groups, hockey cannot exist without competition. Byes in either of the groups would not get either team anyâ€" where. Both clubs might hang on unâ€" til the "Anals by playing exhibition games, but when other leagues are in full swing, even exhibitions would be hard to get.
