And while it is rather hard to judge these things, unless you --have--a--split- personality mid leave half of it at home, or carry one of these portable radio gadgets so that _you can' both listen and watch, it would seem highly probable that those who take their hockey by. ear are. getting far more thrills out of these playoffs than those who actually sce Them in person. * * * Which is just another way of saying that 'the hockey hardest to get tickets for is, as a rule, the hardest to watch. You have to stick in your own thrills and ex- citement whereas, taken via the cther route, the announcers do it --for- you, This is by no means a criticism of these microphone- macstros, whose first duty to their sponsors is to keep listeners from switching "dials and tuning-in some good hot program __of _chamber- music: but it is a rather funny ex- perience to come home draggy affair like, for instance, the opening game of the Toronto- Detroit scries, and hear the folks- say, "Gee, that must have been a honey of a game." * * * i p-- Of course it is by no means a new thing for playoff hockey-- judged: solely on its merits as a game, and tossing the gold and glory involved out the window--to be somewhat taine. Any time you get two rival teams playing them close to their chests, and taking no unnccessary chances, the high- lights are 'liable to be few and far between. But it is' even' more" noticeable nowadays when' they play what is frankly admitted to be entertainment-hockey -- featuring speed, speed and still more speed --_for the first six months or so of the regular scason. When they suddenly try to change over to the real thing, the boys don't know how to play it, nor do the fans know how to appreciate. Perhaps it's just as well that the foot-shuff- lings, ironic hand-clappings and cries for "Action" don't come over a In amateur hockey 'circles' we after a - Michael's, championship outfit, like in the days when Barrie, Stratford and other smaller places would come through on top." C * * * . He went on to say that such days appear to be gone forever. _ "You can't keep-a---good-kid-on-a small-town team any more than you can keep a good race-horse in a poor man's stable," he said, "Just as soon as 'we develop a lad into a real prospect, 'he's snatched; and the next thing we. know he's play- ing for one of these *"chain-store" teams, operated for 'the benefit of some professional outfit. We've got two strikes on us before we start, and we know it. Barring the sort of miracle that doesn't happen nowadays, it's 100-to-1 that St. Oshawa or one of two or three othees will take it all, and the rest of us haven't a Chinaman's chance. And. the "worst of it 1s that, with so much attention . paid to plavdowns and championships, most of us find that we're .out of the picture and our 'hockey season is 'over before it's well startgd." * * + Just how widespread this feeling is, or what could be done to correct such a situation, we are not prepar- ed to say. But we do know that the centering of so much of the hockey spotlight, of recent years, on just one place--Toronto--hasn't heen a bit of help to the game in the Province at large. x ow '+ In all the excitement over the Grand National Sweepstakes, we have been wondering just how many of the thousands who breath- "lessly waited to find out whether or not they 'drew a horse' might have spared themselves a lot of suspense and loss of sleep. Or, to put it more briefly, what percent- age: of those carefully-cherished tickets were the real thing? After -- talking with a gentleman who should be in a fair position to know. we have come to the conclusion that a great many of us have been dreaming of winning a life of ease by mcans of chunks of paper that never were closer to Ireland than, let us say, the city of Montreal. * * - For, according to our informant, "the vbusiness" of peddling phoney Irish Sweep tickets is once again \ _alivays the dream of developing a count .

Said he: "This is not a normal vice-royal- - ty on which I am embarking. Hi Majesty's Government are resolved and, since new constitutional ar- rangements must be made and many. complicated questions of ad- ministration resolved--all of which will take time to put into cffect-- this means a solution must be reached within the next few months . .. Every one of us must do what "we can to avoid any word or action _ which might lead to further bitter- ness or add to the toll of "innocent victims." Britain not merely quitting India; she is quitting with her bene- ~ diction. Leaving India in her own choice as fre¢ as the winds of the Indian Ocean.

But it is quite certain that both Canada.and the United States musk make further handsome 'loans to hole the pound and restore the British economic organization, Britain is now. in the, position acidly described by analogy by the late Lord Keynes who pointed out that when a man owed his bank $1,000 he was at its mercy; when he owed it $1 million, tlre bank wae at his mercy, The collapse of the pound would so .disorganize international trade and internatiopal finance that the cataclysm might well reduce. the world to the barter system.
