Because it cultivates his 3. build and do things himself. These are a few of the | models he can make easily. You can buy imitations of Meccano at other stores, but they are made by people who are fight- ing our country or are too.proud to fight. Get the best--made in England, as a great many Meccano parts are patented and you only get imitations with other kinds. Treadgo Sporting Goods Co.

The rule at University of Toronto that debars from faculty sports any- one who plays with any outside team will not keep those hockey players now attending Dental College from playing in the OH.A. There have been many 'Varsity athletes who have played with other teams while attending the University, and there is no reasen why the dental students hockey players will not-do the same. Several new goalkeepers will ap- pear on the rival teams in the Na- tional Hockey Association this year, if the plans of the magnates are suc- cessfully carried out. President Lichtenhein, of the Wanderers, has announced that he does not expect to have Bert Lindsay with the redbands this year. Lindsay is engaged at Renfrew and has intimated that he will not be able to spare the time. He is said to have returned his contract unsigned. In this event, Billy Hague, in several of the games for Wander- ers last winter, will likely get the call. ' Must Be Physically Fit.

Reforms in the direction of minor league baseball, especially as to bus- iness management, are recommentied to officers and members of the Nat- ional Association of Minor Baseball Leagues by M." H. Sexton 'president of the association. Sexton protests against "loose and unbusinesslike" management, particularly in cities where "'public-spirited persons form corporations to insure baseball for their cummunities," "It if time for our members, par- ticularly from Class B down, to cease trying to emulate the methods of the major leagues," the letter concludes. "Dispense with high- priced players and managers, cut down protracted training trips and seasons, reduce travelling expenses, hotels bills, eXtra park help and double umpiring, and get down to operation on a basis that revenues warrant."

Mr. Murphy comes to Canada each summer, and draws a substantial salary for his services. Yet the announcement has been made that all stakeholders at New Orleans must be 'native sons.'
