annual C. A. II. A. convention here

my , definition of the amateur athlete was presented. There .leei:.nyed'a ma chance that the aellnriion would be ulwind. delviie the opinion of the A. A. U. of 0.. and that therefore the two orgalllllllolil

would cease to be allied. OLYMPIC TROUBLES

while pendirg uiscussl - of the oiympic team's troubles and man- agement in Europe was kept in the background following the report of President E. A. Gllroy of Portage La Prairie, Man, the slrraighl question of the new and modern amateur was plsesented in the re-_ port of a specilll committee.

The committee. headed by Cecil Duncan of Ottawa and including Prof. W. G. Baldy of University of Alberta, Clarence Campbell of Ed- monton and Geclrfie Di-W110)’ 01 Mid‘ land, ont., laid down four clauses. via. the resolutions committee, that would make the amateur look like an entirely difleznnt. fellow.

The four, some of which may be acceptable to the A. A. U. of 0., follow: -

1. Payment to ‘hockey Players by

clubs or employees 101‘ 31319 1°“ from work while plnylnc 850195 ‘V111 be permitted. ' 2. Players will he allowed to capi- talize on their ability as hockey players to obtain legitima‘ em- ployment. They won't. however. be allowed to hold "‘dla.dow" Jobs un- der this clause.

s. Professionals and amateurs will he allowed to play each other in umbition garnes,_at the discretion utlwC.A.H.A.blonches.

4. Professionals in another sport 'willbeIllowodtol>l8!l1lld°l’ 0-1-- 3, A. jurisdiction as amateurs. '

It appeared certai the A. A. U- eolnmittee would re use to endorse all the clauses and that the con- vention, when it reached 9. V0?-6. would ballot with full knowledse that an affirmative vote meant severance pf relations.

Time To Face fl-‘acts

"It is time," asserted Prof. many in presenung me committee re- port, “that we face present-day refil- ities as they exist in hockey 8-cl’i->53 the country." He ursed lhe ll" definition be adopted. Sirens SUP‘ port came from Dudley. Pl’?-‘idem’ of the Ontario Hockey Association.

ailroy speaks

“If we adopt this definition of an amateur," President Gilhoy told the meeting, “we won't have to sever relations with the Amateur Athletic Union of Canada. They will be :1- ready severed."

The A. A. U. head, W. A. Pry, warned delegates they were dealing with the "most important matter ever to come before an amateur body in Canada."

“It would be a sorry day for the A. A. U. of C. should it split with its strongest supporter. ‘he C. A. H. A.." he said. "I can go a. long way in sympathy with the racin- tion. but I hesitate to support some of the clauses."

Fly thought the committee that wrestled with the amateur problem a year before turning in its report should first obtain the support of the C. A. K. A. and then permit A. A. U. branches across the coun- try to study the subject. The A. A. U. would deal with the resolu- tion at its next annual meeting in Regina.

But his suggestion to defer ac- tion was turned down. Delegates decided they would vvote Monday. prolonging the convention which was to havve ended Saturday. on whether hockey's definition of an amateur would be changed.

Miniature Rifle Club Banquet

The Ministure Rifle Club ended another highly successful season on Friday evening when they gath- ered for their annual banquet at the Nobana. Tea Rooms. After the de- licious repast had been par-taken of a short toast list was proposed and responded to after which the annual reports and election of oflicers took

place.

President Ralph Jenkins who was in the chair stated that the season Just completed had been most suc- cessful. He was going to make his relnal-ks brief as the reports of the secretary and treasurer would cover everything completely. However be- fore closing he drew attention t3 the fact that no prize list had been drawn up this year as Yet. The Club was considering the purchase of new rifles and until this had been definitely decided upon the matter of prizes was to be left in abeyance.

M.r. Lemuel A. MacDougall then read the treasurers report. The re- port showed the Club to be in a sound financial condition with a substantial balance being shown. The speaker in concllldlng praised highly the work of the Secretary and Range Officer on the eflicient manner in which they had carried out their duties

Secretary .1. Kelsey Burhoe then presented his report which was as follows:

SECEETARTS REPORT

Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen:

With your kind attention, I will endeavour to give you a summary of the activities of our Club for the season just ended. The first shoot took place on Jan. 10th, and the last one on April 6th. leaving in all 24 shoots with an average attend- ance of twenty-one.

I am pleased to say that we had one marksman who has had a. per- fect attendance, never missing a shoot and I refer to Foster Pickard. The honor of the highest average shooting of the season goes to Wes Dennis with the remarkable average of ninety-four exactly, having par- ticipated ln nineteen shoots. I also wish to refer to the fine shooting of Mr. H. H. Home. He has taken part in twenty-two shoots having an average score of 90.9. nother one of our members I want to refer to and that is Mr. J. D. Jenkins. He holds the highest individual score of ninety-eight which is remarkable shooting but was closely followed by a numbe of others with a score of ninety-seven.

The Purdie Feliruson shield match was shot for and was composed of three teams. captained by Mr. R. 11:. Jenkins, Wesley Dennis and Wm. Walsh. Three shoots were held and the match was won by the team captained by Wes Dennn with total scores as follows: Dennis 1911. Walsh 1908, and Jenkins 1879.

We had had two teams entered in The Dominion Marksman. 22. S. M. L. E. Rifle League and have only received results of the standing of all teams for the month of Jan- uary. Our No. 1 Team finished in 17th place and our No. 2 Team in 31st place out of 57 teams.

I wish at this point to thank the

206 Press for their kindness shown in

publishing all accounts of our shoots and for their promptness of same. Looking over the season's sctlvi- ties I feel quite sure we have had a very successful year. I also wish to thank all the officers of the No. 22 Siznal Co. for their assistance and

220 also Mr. William Smith who has

been very faithful to his duties.

In closing I can assure it has been a pleasure to me to have been your secretary for the past season and ask you all to give the same I-Hist-Inca to ollr new incoming sec- retary. It will greatly help him in his work.

Increases League Lead

(0, P. Clble By Guardian’: Special Wire) _

LONDON, April Bil-lninghsm 2-1 at Roher Park, Blmderland gained mr-the ground in the race for the English Football League piollsllip today. The famous northern club, with 52 points,nowhasslesd of nine points over Derby County. its near- est rival. » '

Derby was held to a. 1-1 draw by Chelsea at Stamford Bridge while Stoke City. defeated 3-0 at Grims- by, was replaced. in third position by Huddersfield Town who played a sco.-eless draw with Portsmouth.

Largo crowds witriessed the opening games of the heavy Easter schedule in which most teams will play three games in four days. Of the so clubs which make up the four divisions of the league, only 12 were idle.

Aston Villa improved its chances of escaping relegation to the sec- ond division by triumphing 4-2 over Wolverhampton Wanderers at Villa Park. The Villans with 38 points are now bracketed with Everton, Sheffield Wednesday and Wolverhampton Wanderers above West Bromwich Albion and Black- burn Rovers. West Bromwich suf- fered a 4-0 setback against the Arsenal at Hishbury and Black- burn Rovers, at home, drew 2-2 with Liverpool.

Another low-placed club to earn valuable points was Leeds United. The Yorkshil-emen overcame Man- chester City 3-1 at Maine Road.

In the second division, West Ham United is making a bold bid to regain first division status. By defeating I ' ‘ City 3-2 in Lon- don the Hammers increased their lead to three points over Mm- chestor United. Sheffield United and Charlton, tied for second place with 46 points. Manchester United drew 2-2 at Burnley, Sheffield and Doncaster Rovers played a score- less draw and Tottenham Hotspurs and Charlton Athletic each scored one goal in a hard-fought tussle at White Hart Lane.

Although the team got only one point as the result of a 2-2 draw with Bristol Rovers, Luton '1bwn established a clear lead in the southern section of the third di- vision. Reading shared top place with Luton last Saturday but today fell 2-0 against Crystal Palace. Chesterfield went further ahead in the northern section by taking maximum points from Lincoln City. The score was 1-0.

Down The Sports Trail

(By Paul Michelson, Associated Press Sports Writer) (A. I’. By Guardian’: Special Wire)

NEW YORK, April 10-Down the sports trail:

Thirteen men, most of them fading in the baseball skies, will write the excitilfg story of the 1936 major league pennant races. Here they are-the spot men of the ivory fields:

Outfielder A1 Simmons, the Tiger “rookie" whose war club is counted on to give the champs from De- troit the added punch they need; catcher Frank Pytlak and out- fielder Bruce Campbell, healed sick men of the Cleveland Tribe; sec- ond baseman Tony Lanes-i and shortstop Frank Oroaetti, defence key men who must play long and well.

Manager-shortstop Joe Cronin. the fellow who has to perform like his old self afield and keep his club of stars in has-lnorly; pitcher Charlie Root, Chicato (dub veteran who can't halt. his comeback if the champs are to win; pitcher Fred Fitssimmons and manager-first baseman Bill Terry, Giants with doubtful legs and arms who are needed badly:

-second baseman Frankie Prisch, a player the "gas house gang" can't replace at second. and Roy Par-melee, a "must" addition to the pitching Deans; outfielder Lloyd Wanor, a “must" member of the famous Waller brothers act, and pitch John ‘rising, a rookie the Pirates need at his srilatrst to round out a. pennant-winnins pitching staff. After my 13. when the r-ostms are trimmed to the 23- mm maximum, there will be 368 or less players in big league uni- form. but centre your optics on the 13.

The news lnt(‘l'cS'.(‘:l me so I looked him up from the time he started racing as 9. three- year-old in 1928 until the end of his campaign the fall of 1934 previous to his sale to Mr. Alexander. Tile more I investigated the more con- fident I became that there was something wrong with his method of preparation, shoeing or rigging last season, or perhaps it was the climatic diff_er_encc between mid- west conditions and those of our Atlantic seaboard.

llbr without question The Great any has some consldearble reason fit that appelation. He has per- formed in real company among pac- era that have entered the two min- ute list or have been knocking at the door. At times he has shown rare speed, such as a half in 1.01 over a half-mile track, and llettcr over a mile track. His fastest per- formance was 2.01% over a half- mile track. Word has filtered through that they now have solved his difficulties and expfitzt to make the other-free-for-allcrs and twelve clan paoers step some to win this lllfllmfl‘

,'l‘wo prominent trainers in Nova lootis are thinking seriously of moving to Charlottetown for their wring preparation, with the idea of racing through our summer cir- cult and lkliibition. then inoving to the mainland. If this mnterializes. tho training colony at the local track will be considerably enhanced and there will be plenty of fun for ihe railbirds watching the wcrlzcuis.
