For the firs; the United team is behind and has played the same number of games as all the cther teams. Seven Up still remains the only team in the league that has not yet been defeated. They have won s>ven games and tied one for a total of eighteen points. United has won more games than the Seven Uip entry but they have suffered two straight defeats to stay one pcint beâ€" hind. Imperials trimmed the Canada Buds, who have changed their name to the International Red Caps, for two points, arnd are right in the running three noints back of Seven Up and two beâ€" hind United. Dinkey Doos and St. Jcohn‘s, the two teams from the St. John Ambylance Brigade, are running very close, and the Dinkey Doos have CHILDREN 19c a slight edge as they still have more game to play. St. John‘s are starting to put the pressure on, that they are getting into the ttretch. They administered a trimâ€" ming to United last week to give the boys from the Russell their first deâ€" feat and this week they tcok the measâ€" ure of the United‘s running mates, Wanderers, in the same manner. The firset aid men are juw. getting their sights sharpened and they are within slriking distance of the leaders, being only five points behind the Seven Ups, Monday night the Thorpe Radiomen started to get going again when they trimmed the White Labels for a couple of points. The White Labels had built up a big margin but, while they were trying to find their finishing double, the radiomen sneaked up on them and grasped the game in the dying moments. The scores on Monday night weren‘t as good as most of the other nights one just now The scores on Monday night weren‘t as good as most of the other nights with only a few of them topping the hundred mark, which is comcdered a gocd score. Most of the scores were down around forty anrd fifty with everybody getting a good averagze score, Monday night‘s scores were: : Seven Up 2; United 0. St. John 2; Wanderers 0.

Teams Getting Bunched in the Dart League i Try The Advance Want Advertisements With play for the Legion Shield half finished in the Timmins Dart League seven teams are bunched together all with a good chance to finish with the Shield in their possession. At the present time the Uniteds are the fayâ€" curites to take it but the race is getâ€" ting close. This week the United and the Seven Up teams are playing an allâ€" important series that is producing secme cf the best games this season. Last Friday night the Uniteds had a night off and for the first time they reâ€" gistered a loss. ‘St, John, fighting for a chance to stay in the running, beat cut the Uniteds for two points. Bobby Dunsmore was the poison for the Unitâ€" eds as he shot winning doubles without giving the men from the Russell a chance. iM. Madden was another thorn in the side of the Imperials ag he shot high scores one after the other. His high for the night was) 114. Gambles Take Over Commercial Loop Lead This Week Seven Up coasted along to stay in second place when they took a couple cf points from the Goldbelt team, their running mates. Imperials split their games witly White Labels and as a reâ€" sult the Dinkey Doos drew up on even terms iwith them. Wanderers won their two games to stay in a fifth place tie with St. John‘s. Legionaires and Canada Buds broke even in their sesâ€" sion at the International. There were a number of unusually high scores during the night, Gordon of the Imperials and McCormick of the White Labels getting the highest ones. They each had 116. George Nippers of the Legionaires and M. Madden of the St. John team each had scores of 114. P. McAleavy of the Imperials had a count of 100. Curiously enough, the kick about The Adgvance taking three points from Gambleâ€"Robinsons, came, not from Gambles but from the Power entry. The committeeâ€"room decision shoved The Advance to the bottom of the heap in a tie with the Power team. The games that were scheduled for last week were all ordered to be played over again at a later date this year. The executive committee of the Comâ€" mercial Bowling league held a meeting this week and threw out the game that was played last week between The Adâ€" vance and Gambleâ€"Robinsons. The game, played last Wednesday night, was originally scheduled for Monday night but The Advance were unable to get a team out on that night so Gambleâ€"Rcbinsons agreed to play on Wednesday night. The game ended in a threeâ€"point win for the printers. The standing in the league last week had The Advancee at the top of the heavn but this week they are at the bottom. On Monday night of this week Gambles put the pressure on the Powâ€" er, who were playing a manshort, and took all three points to get to the top of the standing. T. N. O. at the same sime were busy with The Advance and they managed to take two of the points from them. The standing in the league now is as follows: Gambles 5; T. N. 0. 3; Power 2: Advance 2.

M. P. As a fitting climax to the Canadian editors‘ tour, a day with the Royal Canadian Nawvy Halifax had been arranged. To anyone who has visited Halifax in peaceâ€"!‘ime, the transformâ€" ation to it predominant warâ€"time role as a key port on the Atlantic coast ecmes almos}t as a shock. The streets of Halifax are thronged with officers and ratings of the R.CN., the harbour is lined with ships being readied for convoy, new buildings to accomimodate the Navy‘s needs are going up on all sides, and the dockyard is a veritable beehive of activity as thousands of navy men are schooled for service on the seas. 3, Ross Singleton, Leo Beauchamp.

Arriving at Halifax early in the morninz, the editors: were shown thrcugh King‘s College, the Officers‘ training establishment, the Signalling School and the Admiralty House Grounds. Proceeding to His Majesty‘s Arrivin morningz, through Canadian Dockyard, our party saw all phas»s of the technical training of the Navy,. including the gunnery school, ordnan‘ce artificers‘ shop, machine shops, antiâ€"aircraft school and other departments of instruction. It is here that the cfficers and rafings receive their final training in gunnery, navigaâ€" tion, wireless telegraphy, signalling and able seamanship to fit them for their tasks. Stokers are their engine room duties and there are schools for cooks, stewards and sickbay attendâ€" ants. In one building the gunners were being trained on large naval guns. It was an unbeliable bedlam as the youngsters went through their paces, shouting and repeating orders and movâ€" ing with speed and precision to their respective stations. Not all of these lads are Maritimers, in fact a groat many are from the prairies and singuâ€" larly enough they take to the water like ducks. Youth Predomumnates Youth clearly has the call in the Canadian Navy. We met a 27â€"yearâ€" old offitcer who is ccommander of a destroyer and another of about the same age in charge of a brand new Canadian corvette. Ancther lad of twentyâ€"one, an officer on a had already come unscathed through the horrors of Dunkirk, where he was in ccmmand of a yacht which made four rcund trips in taking off British soldiers. We visited the stores where depth charges and big naval torpedses are housed. We were introduced to Commodore Jones, Officer Commandâ€" ing the Atlantic Coast, and his staff, and were told the story of how conâ€" voys are assambled and shepherded across the Atlantic. It can be no secret that Halifax has a vital role in convoying merchant ships of Allied naâ€" tions to beleagued Britain and that the Royal Canadian Navy is playing a heroic part in this allâ€"important task, having already safely escorted thousands of ships and millions of tons of cargo to their in the Mother Country. Abcard a Destroyer We had a real opportunity to view the busy harbour when two of the ncw famous fifty American destroyers were placed at our disposal for a tour of the hanbour and a 25â€"mile run onto the broad Atlantic. PFortunately for the editors it was a calm day. Durâ€" ing the run depth charges were dropped and a smoke screen thrciwn out to add a realistic touch to â€"the trip. The depth charges, rolled from the stern of the boat, threw a dense cloud of spray high into the air and jarred the destroyer with terrific force. It is easy to see how they can play havoc with enemy submarines. The Capâ€" tain of the destroyer on which we made the harbour trip was a sturdy ‘seaâ€" Aug," whose alert and ruddy countenâ€" ance clearly reflected the spirit of the Navy. We learned that he had served aljoard H. M. C. S. Fraser, the Canaâ€" dian destroyer which went down in a collision in the English channel with the loss of a number of lives. The Captain, his officers and ratings were mow courteous to the editors and we derived a new insight into the valuable work performed by the heavilyâ€"armed destroyers both in convoy and patrol These sturdy Canadian destroyers, operating in Atlantic waters freshly patrolled by mineâ€"sweepers, gave touring editors a firstâ€"hand view of the Canadian Navy‘s efficiency. «â€"(Pasged by Cengor) CANADIAN EDITORS AT SEA N.0.H.A. Asks for Better Break From O.H.A. in Matter of the Annual Northâ€"South Playâ€"offs work. Qverhead passed big boats which carry out a longâ€"distance patrol far out to sea, while glimpses could be wolained of the heavy coastal fortifiâ€" cations of the harbour. The Corvelte On the outgoing trip we passed several mineâ€"sweepers and corvetles inward bound from patrol duty. Farlier at a Qubec dockyard we had viewed similar ships in course of buildâ€" ing. We saw some corvettes on the stooks with hundreds of men hamimerâ€" ing and rivetting, while another was ready for delivery. Contrary to popuâ€" lar conception, the corvette is not a small vessel, but rivals the destroyer in size, and armament although we unâ€" derstand that some corvettes of scnaller size have been built at Ontario ports. derstand that some corvettes of snaller size have been built at Ontario ports. Fach of the larger corvettes is heavily armesd. They are playing a significant role in the Battle of the Atlantic. One shipyard alone has 1,800 men at work on corvettes and minesweepers and the counterpart will be found in many Canadian shipyard. The corvette is not as graceful a ship as the destroyer but it is sturdy and impressive in apâ€" pearance. Expansion of the Royal Canadian Navy as a whole in the last two yvears form one of the epics of this war, embracing an increase from 13 to 250 ships and in personnel from 1,300 to 23,000 men and the number is increasing every day. The Navy‘s popularity with young Canadian manâ€" hocd is proven by the steady stream of recruits pouring into Halifax and other naval training centres. Canaâ€" da‘s Navy already has a proud record in this war. It will be enhanced as time marches on. Women Lend a Hand Just a word regarding the problem encountered by Halifax in meeting the needs of the thousands of naval ratâ€" ings who are training for service there or who come ashore on leave. . The women of Halifax, ably assisted in a financial way by various naval auxiliary services including the Navy League of Canada. are responding nobly to the call for canteens and wholescme reâ€" creation for the men. We visited three or four such buildings and found that the sailors were making liberal use of the conveniences and comforts providâ€" ed for them. One small canteen alon« had served as many as 25,000 meals in a month. . Mostt of the leaders in this work are wives of naval officers who employ all their spare time in the arduous duties of fitting out and supervising canteens and restrooms. Halifax churches likewise are doing their bit to brighten the offâ€"duty hours of the lads who man Canada‘s ships. One of the most striking proofs of exâ€" pansion is the erection of two new naval hospitals adjoining the Halifax waterfront, which are greatly needed to supplement exisiting accommodation. A happy culmination of the editors‘ visit to Halifax was the banquet tendâ€" ered at Admiralty House to our party by Commodore Jones and his staff of distinguished officers and ship capâ€" tains. Our spokesmen had a chance there to express appreciation of theif aracious hospitality and to thank parâ€" ticularly Commandéer J. P. Connolly M.C., V.D., Royal Naval Provost Marâ€" shal, who accompanied us on the tour. It was an Occasion, too, to become acâ€" quainted with the sterling worth of Canada‘s men "who go down to the sea in ships." In concluding this series of articles, we would like on behalf of Canadian weekly newspapers to express to the Department of National Defence and to the officers of the General Staff, the RCAF. and the Navy, as well as to the Directors of Public Information and Public Relations and their staffs, who took valuable time from their ofâ€" ficial duties at Ottawa to accompany us on the entire trip, our sincere apâ€" preciation for a memorable journey. We would also give honourable mention to the Canadian National Railways. It is certain that the tour served the useful purpose of giving the editors a clear conception of what Canada is doâ€" ing in this war and thus of enabling them to pass on information to their readers, If we have painted too rosy RIVERSIDE PAVILION ®© a picture of the Dominion‘s war proâ€" gramme, it was not intentional. We simply recorded what we saw. There is ample time and place for criticis«m, such as the Federal Ministers have invited. No doubt the newspapers will do their duty in this regard, as they have in the past. These articles have meréely aimed at portraying the extent of Canada‘s achievements in the army, the war industry, the RCAF. and the ENJOY DANCING to the Finest Music and on the Best Floor in the North SATURDAY NIGHT Ladies 25¢ Gents 75¢ t 0st P PP t P AP PP PP o“oo““o'-o t P P P P P PP P Conclusion EVERY The executive ccmmittese of the Northern Ontario Hockey Association asked for a better break in the playâ€" offs with the Onfario Hockey Associaâ€" tion, with whom they are affiliated, at their annual meeting held in Haileyâ€" bury last Saturday afterncon. A reâ€" solution passed at the annual meeting asked that the north be given a chance to play some of the playâ€"off games in the north. If the recommendation is accepiled by the OH.A. when that body holds their annual meeting next month, the northern representatives will get at least one of the games when the playâ€" Ooff series is a best of three arrangsâ€" ment and two games if the playâ€"offu are the best of five games. The NQO, HA. amlso asked that the northern teams be not required to play the OMA A. senior "B" winners before meeting the senior "A" champions. An amends ment made to the constitution at the: meeting deals with a team‘s Standing in a series, which is not to be changed "until a full and thorough investigaâ€" tion of the said team‘s circumstances," and two weeks‘ nctice is to be given of any proposed change. It is expected that wartime condi=â€" tions will have a big effect on hockey in the north"this winter. There will be a shortage of players in scine tions while in other centres there is a shortage of rinks, and there is a cerâ€" tain amount of uncertainty cver traâ€" velling facilities, all of which have their bearing on hockey in the north. The tendency will be to have compact groups with travelling cut to a miniâ€" mun. As an example of what the associa~ tion is up against may be cited the fact that in the central group of the NOH.A. there is only one rink. This rink is at New Liskeard. Haileybury‘s arena has been turned over to the department of National Defence for the duration of the war and Cobalt‘s rink collapsed last winter with little prospect of its being replaced. Officers of the association were all returned by acclamation, with only one change made in the executive. These are: immediate past presidens, Dean Kester, KC., cof Tiimmins; preâ€" sr‘dent, Dr. H. C. Nash, Sudbury; viceâ€" president, M. B. Auger, New Liskeard; secretiry treasurer, D. E. Sutherland, s‘dent, Dr. H. C. Nash, Sudbury; viceâ€" president, M. B. Auger, New Liskeard; secre.tzix'y treasurer, D. E. Sutherland, Haileybury:; executive members, J. L. Fulton, Max Silverman and James Asâ€" pin, the latter replacing C. C. Ameées, as the Kirkland Lake representative. George Dudley of Midland, ent of the Canadian Amateurâ€"Hockey Assiociation, and Ross Cleffiéns . of Hamilton, president â€"~â€"ofâ€" the ~â€"Ontarioe Hockey "Atscciation, were present for the sessions of the N.O.H.A. $ Navy. That defects, bottlenecks and * extravagance still exist, there can be ~ no doubt. The programme is by no * means perfect. It has grown so rapidâ€" ly that no amount of supervision could coordinate and keep in hand the entire machine. We know that it has cost a colossal sum cf money and that taxâ€" payers are being asked to pay to theâ€"â€" limit. But in developing the tools of . war to defeat Hitler, monetary conâ€"â€"»« siderations must remain secondary. We hold no brief for Canada‘s poliâ€" tical government, but of one thing we can be sure, the leaders of Canada‘s military, air and naval forces, and the entrepreneurs of our war industries are the right men in the right place. They. are keen, alert and on ¢top of their jobs. If Canadian civilians will devote one fraction of the concentration and enthusiasm of these men to the war programme, Canada‘s part in the Emâ€" pire fight or survival will surely be a worthy one.
