The "Silver "Silver Fox" from O-rono is celebrating his 74th birthday. Orme assured us he felt fit enough to enjoy a. scrap so we recommended the annual 0. If. A. meeting up in Toronto, which will be within a few days. Orme caused quite a furor there at the similar gathering' there some years ago," It's no use waiting until a man has left this mortal plane to lavish words of high praise upon deaf ears; Orme is a "land mark" here in Southern and Central Ontario, and one of the mos-t ardent of sport fans, a genial genial gentleman and true sportsman, shrewd -and witty, a better loser than a winner and what the boys in sport circles - term a "swell ' guy."
