Jcar Silg-Kitidly allow me space in your Vlilllflbld sports page w uickc llie anmteur situation exist. mg lluougllout the lilaiilimes a little lnore understandable, club or. llcials, athletes and the general public have been so confused of late U111! nobody seems to know irllut it is all about or why. As the lnlzul difficulty has been willl hoe- key we will explain that matter list, ulthuuifli some of the same troubles pertain to other sports as well.

Solne years ago the M. P. B. A. A. U. ol C. gave tne hockey clubs per- mission to form an associatlzn m control foster and encourage the playing of good clean amateur hoc- K9)’ amonrpt. the youth of the Mari- luues with the understanding that same would be conducted according :0 the amateur code of the A. A. U. of C. A.l went fine for a num- ‘oer of ycars and we lu these pro- vinces enjoyed well controlled hoo- kcy played by Maritime youths; for instance the Halifax City League and others of like calibre in other parts oi Nova Scotia, -New Bruns- wick and Prince Edward Island. Tlicn came the affiliation of the Mbrilinle hockey body with the C. A. l-I. A. and trouble; for instance the Truro Bearcat wrangle, the Mciictun Hawks squabble and the Wolverine fiasco just to mention a few of our trials. Now the situation has broadened out and is verging on the chaotic, not only for hockey, but other sports as well. i

Snce accepting office a few years llgol have given the Maritime sport control matter a lot of study and after taking things over with our executive ‘and others directly in- terested in the welfare of athletes came to the conclusion that Mari- time sport is over governed with too many associations, all appar- cntly doing the same thing and non»: doing much of lulythinfl- 1n otlur words it has developed into different bodies selfishly thinking oi only one branch of sport and for- getting the others. As the M. P. B. A. A. U. of C. is the senior govem- lng body of all amateur sport and it tiring the duty of its officers to see that every branch of athletics ls properly, efficiently and econom- lcaliy conducted and being frm y convinced that one body with com- pNPIll- committees can do just that, I suggested to the M. A. H- A- Eli lhcu- last annual meeting that they rote themselves out of existence, instead of them doing so, and while the meeting was a very slim one and not by any means representa- tlvc of Maritime hockey clubs. the mulling adopted changes t0 thc amateur rules and thereby left only one course open to the Maritime Anrilteui- Athlete Association, viz, the inking over direct control of auiatciu- hockey. At our annual meeting hcld the 6th inst, s. reso- lution was passed that the M. P. B. A. A. U. cf C. appoint commit- tees to take the places of associ- ations now in existence, for the management of sport in different branches. Therefore from that dale 1t is not necessary for amateur clubs to affiiate or pay fees to any organization other than the parent body, viz., the M. P. B. A. A. U. of C. We must have unity ‘n sport as in other matters and it can be readily seen that if the‘ various branches of sport are permitted to adopt different amateur rules then it. will not be long before all the good work that Maritime sportsmen have done for years in building up this organization will have been for minghl. and an athlete would not know whether he was an amateur.

After suffering two previous knockout defeats at the hands of the Island heavyweight champion George Leslie, Stan Bigger last night cheered the hearts of his followers no end when he won a l-rourld technical knockout vic- tory over the Sourls boy after two minutes and ten seconds of fight- ing. Forcing the fight as he came out of his corner Leslie had it much his own way in the first minute and a half of the scrap. Fans were envisioning another Ieslie victory but suddenly, like s bolt out of the blue, Blggsrs right hand landed flush on Leslie's jaw and the champion went down for a nine-count. Rising gamely to his feet Leslie ran into a. left hook and as he struggled to his feet at the count of eight his seconds threw in the towel, marking the and of the Sourls boy's second reign of Island heavyweights.

Currie. who performed with the Hershey.

Bill ca“ Builds Team For Cleveland

WINNIPEG, Oct. Ill-Bill Cook of New York Ranger hockey fame has begun his first; year asa man- ager seeking to carve an Interna- tional-American League sqnnd, Cleveland Barons, from 23 players assembled lat Winnipeg training quarters. _

Last year the outfit, known as Cleveland Falcons, was the door- mat of the Canadian division of the league and finished in the cellar.

Bill has five amateurs working out with 18 professional players. He particularly likes the play 0! Walter I-Ioldltch and Bev North, forward and defenceman from Calgary, and Stuart Smith. cen- treman from Kenora, Ont.

“I expect to have at least two of these players with my team lhis winter," he said after a practice session yesterday.

Cook said Peggy O'Neill. Saska- toon; Lorne Duguld, Bill Cook, KingstomOnt; Earl Roche, Mont- rcal: Moe Roberts, Cambridge, Mass: Arthur Berlett, Buffalo; Walter I-Iergcshelmer, Winnipeg. are almost certain of spots with Barons, »

Jean Pusie, colorful French- Canadlan player once with New York Rangers, is sure to make a place if he recovers from a back injury suffered in an automobile accident last summer.

Binns To Meet Kelly Oct.29th

As a result of a challenge Issued at the ringside lls‘. night Bennie Blnns ls to meet Leo Kelly here on October 29th for the Island middleweight. boxing title.

Ever since Kelly has made his presence felt in Isiand boxing circles this fight has been look- ed forward to eagerly and fans are envisioning one of the most sensational scraps ever put be- fore an Island audience. '

that cIubs have had to struggle un- der, the smaller and junior clubs will I feel be in better financial condition and with the paying sports helping those that do not draw such good gate receipts, we will again be able to build up one powerful body that, besides be ng a credit to the Marillmes will be an- other lesson to the other parts of Canada what we down caszerizers can do.

In this regard I would- welcome any suggestions or constructive crit- icism from club offlc als, athletes and others, including lnsl- but not least sports writers, ill order that this branch can once more be put. beck on a common sense bilslness- like operation bass.

Yours very trul
