Numerous enthusâ€" lastics are. using a composition dart board and from the sidelines we hear they are favourable and suit the. needs of a dart board to "T". Legion territory, however, a pig bristle target is being. used. One. battered target has been taking darts for the past seven yesrs and still no hole has been worn in around and about, the bullseye â€" the day of the shark is past. ‘The malter called for strategy, so without heslt,ation the furnace room 'door was opened and the dart board hung in the space. of stopping . on the board, the darts, on hitting the Bullseye, continued through the hole and into the furnace room. Saved all sorts of time for the gent keeping score and evaded arguments. But the practice did: raise quite a bit of trouble with the furnacé, (we hear).

In days following it was decided to organize into teams and. with this soon accomplished the Timmins Dart League boasted a membership of eight. Over the years this has risen to 60 with teams playing for seven trophies~~:singles, doubles, a knockout trophy for team play and three traphies for. leagues...
