Dated April lst, 1922. Wiring and Up-to-Date Electrical Supplies and Fixtures ANNOUNCEMENT ?AGE TEN LAUNDRY HOME OF Appliances C. S. LEE NOTICE Opp. Post Office Pressing We are informed that Fred Wag- horne is trying to revive the Toronto Lacrosse League. It's not necessary Wag., judging by the Toronto men nominated for O.A.L.A. offices. All you Will have to do is get the name changed. Hogtown is surely showing its hand. All they ask is president, lst vice-president, secretary, treasur- er, and so far only five councillors. There are six clubs in Toronto, some eighty odd in the province, yet Toron- to only wants nine out of the possible twelve seats. Where did they get that name, Hogtown? The English lacrosse team has landed in New York and already they have had workouts. The form they displayed surprised the American critics. Although Canada is the home of lacrosse and Toronto the centre, it is hardly possible they will play there. No arrangements have as yet been made and as they sail for home on May 2nd, it's too early to field a capable team in this part of the ccnrn- try. It is to be hoped those behind the O.A.L.A. pay no attention to the To- ronto writer who wants the O.A.L.A. to break from the straight and nar- row path and become practically semi pro in the senior series. Fvery- one knows how the late pro league nearly killed lacrosse and a lot who where members of that league have a finger in the O.A.L.A. pie too much so for the good of the game. Geo. Farr, the old Weston boy, now living in Hamilton, is running for a. seat on the O.A.L.A. council and will receive the support of Weston Clubs. Weston people would like to see Fred Jacob who conducts the page, "The playhouse and the movie thea- tre," and writes under "sideliner" in the Toronto Sunday World, stand for office on the O.A.L.A. executive. He is the type of man who would keep the game open and above board. (inlffllill 'lllffliS IN MEN AND Mrfllllrf Just when Brampton gets through broadcasting the good news that they will be back in senior, Ingram, that good defence man of theirs, lets it be known that he is going to Chat- ham to play lacrosse. Several Toronto Junior 0.H.A. players have had excellent offers trom outside towns to move to them and accept a position there. The O. H. A. informed them if they wished to play hockey next year, they had better stay where they are. Anyone heard the O.A.L.A. say anything yet? Every day brings some new 'tiotTtln- ations for the O.A.L.A. executive. To those on the outside it looks like a mix-up yet no doubt all is right atl headquarters. Ernie Doyle was up till a short time ago looked upon as the coming president. Two years ago the gang handed Ernie a raw deal and he has passed up the chance to head the O.A.L.A. this year. St. simors'srhave nominated Jimmy Wal- lace. This is a case of trying to rail- road. Jimmy is\a nice fellow but he is not the man to head the O.A.L.A. A few more years on the board would make him eligible. Orangeville has nominated Bill" Hanley, the old Var- sity goalkeeper. Bill brought out more good Varsity teams than all the rest put tosrtther)He.'s a big man and one ot the best posted lacrosse men living, yet he has not been connected with the O.A,.L.A. Leaving Ernie Doyle out, how many know that Arnold Smith is the oldest member of the O.A.L.A. left. A young fellow who knows the game from every angle. Weston, of late years, owes their success in lacrosse to him. When things looked bad and the boys would hang up their sticks, he was the one who would gather them together and get them to carry on. A quiet, unassuming fellow, few know the time he spends, the work he does to keep Weston on the lacrosse map. Yet when Orangeville, Brampton, St. Catharines, Newmarket and other towns nominate their candidates, the whole town gets behind their man. They see the honor it brings the town. What are we doing in Weston to put one ot our own at the head of the O.A.L.A. Nominating is only one thing. It must be followed up with a canvass. Among the people of Wes- ton there is someone or ones who could bring pressurs on every club in the big association for the election of Arnold. If he will not run tor the chief office get behind him for what- ever office he stands for. He has the whole province to run against. A. will live up to it like the O.H.A., time alone will tell. With new clubs starting up, some of Toronto's senior lacrosse players are going to find it hard beating the residence rule. Whether the O.A.L. Art. Harrison is one of the best re- ferees in the game. Bill Hamburg of Brantford is good. Eddie Hinds of Orillia is another. Ernie Doyle of Newmarket is perhaps the best of all. Last season Chas. Parkinson of To- ronto worked in several games and was real good. There are any num- ber of capable referees who never had a chance to show their ability due to the fact that they were not in the gang last year and there were a lot who, worked last year that were rank failures. Some people have‘the idea that to be a good referee you must be or have been at some time a great player. Cooper Smeaton and Lou Marsh; two ot the leading hockey referees, never were wonderful hockey players. Most ot the great baseball umpires of to- day were not great players. Some nev- er saw the big leagues as players. Look over the list of leading fight re- fereeg. No ex-world's champions. Some never had a glove on. Frank and Dick Carroll are great hockey coaches. Fver hear ot them as hockey players? Referees spoil a lot of games. It is to be hoped that the officials ot the O.A.LA., who this year have the appointing ot referees, uses his own judgment and is not in- fluenced by certain individuals. All the outside clubs ask is a judge who knows the game is impartial and calls them as he sees them. A Toronto sport writer bemoans the fact that he can only think of three lacrosse referees. Charles L. Querrie, Robt Hewitson and Art. Harrison. Querrie. who seems able to throw a spell over certain sporting scribes, who call him the greatest referee of them all, is, as the fans well know, far from it. The old war- rior was a great lacrosse player and played at a time when lacrosse was at its best. He was a star. His name will live as one of the great men who played the game. He must have been a. good manager and friend' as every player who played under him swears by their old chief. No lacrosse player ever crabbed at a referee like Querrie. He was continually chew- ing at the official in charge. Today when he steps on the field to take charge, he immediately raises the ire of spectator and player alike. Quer- rie is in wrong with Orangeville, St. Marys, Maitlands, Weston, and rightly so. That there are not more outside towns is because Charlie gets the plums. He gets just as much for re- fereeing in Toronto, and besides, the papers say nice things about him. Why don't he go to St. Kitts and re- feree? No chance. He wants to be a Kaiser on the field. He was a great player. He's an ordinary re- feree. Last winter Querrie used the daily papers of Toronto to denounce the hockey referee, Percy Lesuer, be- cause his work did not suit him. Le- suer as a hockey player was just as great as Querrie ever was on the la- crosse field. It was poor sportsman- ship on Querrie's part. If Conacher signs with Riversides, Weston people will have a chance to look the big boy over), He is one' of the biggest yet cleanest playing the game. Riversides also claim Jess Spring, heavyweight boxer, baseball and hockey player, who won fame with De La Salle junior hockey team. He went to Timmins to play hockey but failed to make the grade and this winter played hockey with A. It. Clark’s all-star outfit. Not satisfied with having at their disposal an excellent track to learn to drive a car on or test one, someone has driven across the already rough playing field at the fair grounds and left ruts and ridges that are liable to break or" sprain players limbs, who, when on the run, cannot take their eyes off the play to pick their foot- Ing. Eddie' Kingdom is running Con- acher close as an all-round athlete. Last winter he played with Kodak hockey team in the Mercantile league. This summer he is signed to pitch for Kodaks in the T.I.A. baseball league. These games are twilight fixtures. Then on Saturday he will be found on the home of the Weston lacrosse team playing the game that made him in the sporting world. Bobbie Hewitson we could never see better than just ordinary. As a hockey referee, who got his appoint- ments because he had, oh we'll say luck. No one who handled a game at the arena, could get so much sym- pathy as the dapper little sport writ- er, who appeared to be in great pain, yet bravely stuck to his task. After seeing him handle one lacrosse game -yes, Bobbie is" a good writer. The writer of "Through the Knot Hole" page ot the Toronto Sunday World, bitterly denounces the senior series of the O.H.A., but he does not go tar enough. Last season if you where not a subscriber you were tore- ed to buy your ticket through a scalp- er. Where do these regular ticket pirates get them? We can only guess but I'll wager we are right. Toronto writers know nothing about this for they are in the know and do not have to hustle for their paste ‘boards and pay $3 and $5 tor 80c seats. Disap- pointing, yes, their killing the game. It will take a lot of newspaper space to square themselves with the public. It people only knew there is Just as exciting games, yes dozens played every night through the season throughout Toronto as you see at the arena. All they lack is the write-up in the papers that only the big fel- lows who draw the gate can pay for. Weston senior lacrosse players and fans alike are hoping the O.A.L.A. will not group Weston with St. Cath- arines. Their. default in the middle of the season left Weston in an ugly mood as tar as St. Kitt’s are ConCePn- ed. Orangeville will do in their place. I , Aura Lee Junior hockey team, who won the O.H.A. Junior title, have or'- ganized a lacrosse team and will play in the O.A.L.A. junior series. There will be no senior team as heavy that may be a. handicap as. a lacrosse field is a. good many times larger than a hockey rink. Fast light men will be around them before they know it. They should be a big drawing card, . The defeat of Vancouver by St. Pat's in the Stanley Cup final was one of the biggest surprises of the winter. Playing hockey that was nice to look at,- they seemed all over the better team but faded under the heavy checking St. Patys handed out and in the last two games they were out- generaled. St. Pat.'s adopted a, style of play that killed the millionaires' game. Every hockey team, whether pro; or amateur, has a sub goal-keeper. Last season Beaches and Riversides lacrosse teams each carried a spare goalie. Weston should make a move in this direction in case of sickness. either to himself or family, accident or he may be called away in a hurry. A man could be brought off the de- fence that would weaken the team and he is not trained in that position. The game has changed. A team's strength lies in its subs. Weston needs a sub. goal-keeper. however The other night Weston people were surprised to read in the Daily Star that Lawson Whitehead was likely to coach the senior team this year. He may but he will never have the support of 'the fans. They have lost their confidence in him. The banquet to the winners of the T.I.A. hockey championship, Over- lands and C.C.M., together with the bowling champions. will be held Mon- day) April 10th, in West End Y. M.

A course ot smokers has been well attended and are very popular with the supporters and friends of the As- sociation. The big plant which gives its name of this enterprising Athletic Associa- tion has among its army of employees an unusual high percentage of 'att1, letic and good sportsmen. A picnic and field day was held at Wabasso Park and proved a won- derful Success. Very valuable prizes were competed for and the lucky win- ners received their awards at the hands of the President ot the Com- pany, namely, Mr. T. A. Russell, who is also the Honorary President of the Athletic Association. The tine pin bowling team also rendered a good account of them- selves and are in the finals ot the T.I.A. League. F Devotees of lawn tennis, while not exactly covering themselves with glory, yet had some wonderful times at Baird's Park. The baseball team, while not gath- ering to itself championship honors, did remarkably well and will be heard from this season. The slogan of the Kodak Athletic Association Committee is to "keep things humming." This has certainly been the case during the winter months, and while many events have been pulled off with ‘marked success, the efforts of the committee will reach their: climax in the third an- nual Minstrel Show, which will he staged this year at the Crystal The- atre, Dundas and Mavety Streets, West Toronto, on April 17th, 18th and 19th. To be sure it is just part of the Winter's program, but "Ohl Boy!” the demand for tickets certainly indi- cates that the Crystal Theatre will be filled for three nights. The first half of the show will con- sist of solos by different members, aswell as entire choruses by the company. Funny end men will chat- ter in between times, and just make you laugh even though you don't want to. 1 The second half will consist of vaudeville stunts of a high char- acter,,ind enough said when we tell you that the whole show is just full of, headline attractions from start to finish. _ The Kodak Orchestra will accom- pany all solos and choruses, and also give a, good musical program previous to the opening of the show and at intermission. Mr. 'Clark, Secretary of the Ath- Ietie Association, will have the re- Served seat plan at the Company's offices Monday morning, April 10th, until Wednesday evening, April 12th, after' which they will be sent down to Sanderson's Drug Store, Dundas and Keele Streets. You will be sorry if you miss the show, so plan to get your seats either through Kodak employees, or plan to come down to the General-Offices on these days, and see Mr. Clark. "Paddy" Burns and C. Jones, man- ager and captain respectively, of Wes-. ton Baseball team, are losing no time hunting up players. From the line- up already a fast team is assured. For 'catcher they have Jones, the old Cobourg boy. G. Dismond. who pitch- ed for Ingersoll, and the rest of the team will be picked from W. Leatch, W. Pennatt, A. Darlington, o. Le Salles, It. Bell, E. Reno, N. MacKay, All winter we have read of the wonderful ball team Torontos would have. Now when the reports trom the south come in, all they need is four or tive good pitchers, third base man, two good outfielders. Same oldc story. We are told Toronto is the best baseball town outside ot the majors. Ive wonder when the own- ers are going to unloosen their purse strings and give the best town outside the majors the. best ball team outside the majors. We wonder. Goodyear Tire and Rubber Goods Co. are leaving nothing undone to gather a baseball team that should walk away with the Toronto Indus- trial Association honors. They coaxed F.' can, D. Murray, E. McDonald. Anyone wishing to join will be wel- comed. J. P. Allen, Times & Guide Office, Secretary Norman XValdron away trom Can- adian General Electric and Wilfred Blythe from Overlands and are still on the hunt for high-class players. It is the intention of the officers of the Toronto Industrial Association, who have the largest soft ball league in Canada, some 60 teams, to get a representation ot all the leagues to- gether and draft up a uniform set of rules. This has gotten to be a big game. Every league has a different set ot rules. It is felt right now is the time to get together. H. E. Brasler---Honorary Sen KODAK AOI‘IVITES ll ASSN.
