available for equip ment there is no limit to what can be done to encourage amateur sports we have one of the fines arenas in ontario and more use should be made of it to tram young hockey players we have a firstclass park with good ball diamonds some day we shall have an ath letic building where basketball swimming tumbling and other indoor sports can be participated in meanwhile such a sports
