' THURSDAY, APRIL 20th, 1939 THE, HeatLLEYBURIAN Page § Local Fans Show Appreciation To Junior Hockeyists Windbreakers, Crests and Photos. Are Reward for Capturing Central Group Honors | Last Friday evening proved to 'be quite a festive occasion for the players who captured the Junior "B" Central Group honors for Haileybury. The dozen boys who carried the ice war through successfully in the season closed, were guests at agathering in Hotel Haileybury. and received their just quota of praise from His Worship, Mayor S. J. Mason, who, on behalf of some generous and appreciative citizens, presented the boys with' handsome maroon and white (the club colors) windbreakers, | The president of the club, Wm.! Gordon, on behalf of the organiz- ation presented crests for the lads to have attached to the jackets. There were twocrests foreach of the boys, also for the coach, man- ager, trainer and mascot. Then the "daddy" of the team, N. D. MclIsaac, whose assistance throughout the season has been greatly appreciated by the club, added further to his status with all hands by presenting the boys with group pictures of themselves in hockey regalia. The players then took a share in the presentation affair by giv- ing their coach, Walter Maltby. a very handsome smoking stand the gift being handed over by Captain Ed. Short with words of praise for the efforts he had put forth in helping the team through to group honors. Coach Maltby responded very fittingly. Clare Binkley, donor of the cup bearing his name, presented this handsome trophy to the Associa- tion. This was accepted on be- half of the N.O.H.A. by Past Pre- sident Dunc. Sutherland, who, in turn, handed it over to Captain Ed. Short. with words 'of praise to the boys for the manner in which they had played the game. Last night the club feasted the Juvenile team, in appreciation of the oldest hockey trophy in the This cup was presnted by Norman B. Strong in 1911, and many lads who engaged in tussles for the . coveted bauble have gone on to make a name for themselves and Haileybury in major competition. The lads responsible for the retention of the mug in Hailey- bury were Terry Wilson, Dean Richards, Bert McGillivray, capt Don Doal, Howard Davie, Fred Beaudry, Clayton 'Shag' Spears | Fred Gordon, Alf Hunmphreys -- Cyrus Elkins, Walter Douglas Norman Austin.

The estimated average price of a troy ounce of fine gold in Canadian funds was $34.99 in 1937, while in 1938 the corresponding price was $35.105. Anglers Are Reminded of Closed Season on Pickerel Locat anglers who last week caught a few fish from the Haileybury wharf, after cut- ting holes in the ice, are re- minded that there is a short closed season for pickerel. This extends from April 15th to May 15th, the time when this species of game fish is moving towards the spawn- ing grounds. Restocking of Lake Temiskaming in recent years has been very success- ful, but the closed season should be observed strictly in order that there may be better sport later on. It's too cold for fishing yet, anyway. Affiliate With New Ball Body Clubs in Central Temiskaming to Qperate Baseball Independent of Temiskaming League The Central Temiskaming Base- ball League, composed of three clubs, Haileybury, Earlton and New Liskeard in 1938, will seek affiliation with the new Northern Baseball Association at its first annual session on Saturday after- noon in Kirkland Lake. This was decided at a meeting of the clubs, held in New Liskeard Tuesday evening. when plans for the coming summer were discus- sed at some length. It was felt that there was plenty of territory adjacent to the three central Te- miskaming towns to provide the clubs necessary for a compact league, especialy if the towns and villages on the Quebec side of the lake could be brought in. Sucker Nets Get Speckled Trout Anglers Claim Fish and Game Association Will Try to Stop Practice; Hold Annual Meeting Here Complaints that nets set to catch suckers in some of the trout streams of the district were catching the speckled trout and thus defeating the aims of the Temiskaming Fish and Game Protective Association were heard at the annual meeting of that body, held in Hotel Hailey- bury heré on Tuesday evening. The meeting was told by some members that they had found nets in one or two of the _ best creeks in the district, evidently set for the purpose of catching suckers which swarm up the creeks in the spring, and - that all those found had been destroy- ed. It was decided to request the |district game warden to make a |special effort to prevent this prac- tice this spring. There was a large gathering of anglers present for the meeting and the enthusiasm displayed au- gurs well for an enjoyable season this year. The president of the association, N. C. MeVittie, an- nounced that the association's |trophies, awarded annually for the best pickerel and bass caught during the angling season, had been won by Garnet Murray, for ithe best pickerel, and R. F. Rich- jardson for the best black bass. The trophies will be engraved be- fore presentation. The meeting decided to re-elect the principal officers for another jyear as follows: President, N. C. |McVittie, Haileybury; first vice- jpresident, H. Grady, Haileybury ; The matter of encouraging the|second vice-president, H.

It was decided.to hold the next meeting on May 12th, when schedules will be drawn, etc. Each club in the league will be asked to contribute funds suffi- cient to carry on the operation of affairs for the season, and this amount was tentatively stated to be $2.50. Considerable "spade work" had been done in Cobalt, and it was felt that a four team group of Cobalt, Haileybury, New Lis- keard and Earlton would be the ideal arrangement tor this sec- tion, with possibly Elk Lake and two teams from Matachewan to form another group. Then, if the Quebec towns come in they could operate their group \during the season and play off with the local winners and Matachewan for the right to represent the league in the N.B.A. playdowns. D. E. Sutherland, Haileybury was asked to represent the league at the N.B.A. meeting in Kirkland on Saturday, while Haileybury New Liskeard and Earlton clubs will also send representatives to this inaugural gathering. - CIRCUS STAFF IS AUGMENTED Something extra for the customers of the famous Ringling Bros.
