Considers Plans

For Athletics

In Montague

At a closed meeting held on ‘lhursday night it was reported that Ivrll rant for the purpose of discussing the future of athletics

' in Montague. With the coming of

the baseball season, the discussion centred around ways and means of raising money to finance the club's activities. It was proposed that the club sponsor a show at the local theatre, and also to put on a lottery. A committee com- posed of J. J. Stewart, B. H. Yeo, C. R. Boehner and R. K Clements ‘was appointed to look into various ways by which the necessary funds might be raised. The club also plans to meet the community wel- fare league and Mr. G. Nicholson and C. R. Boehner were appoint- ed for this purpose. It was also proposed to unite all sport activities under an athletic assosiation, al- though neither the hockey or tennis executive were present. It was stated that under such a uni- fied control, the main sports would operate more efficiently, and necessary funds would he given out by a central committee. The idea was favorably received provid- ed that each club would strive to carry its own weight, and work diligently to add money to the fund. The method of distribution, however, provided some difficulty, and the best solution proposed was that each club would receive an amount proportional to that which it submitted to the central finance committee. If the proposed idea is successful, it will help consider- ably in eliminating the financial difficulties of each club, and help in promoting greater advancement in the development of sport in this community. A delegation met ‘with Mr. George MacIntyre on the procuring of centre field of the race track for a ball field. Mr. Mac- Intyre propqsed that since the ground was rather rough, it would be necessary to level and grade before a good field could be made. Mr. Maclntyres offer will now be taken under consideration, and a final decision laid down in the future. Several expressed the idea that the field was too fer away fronrtha to'wn for the normal mectator who lacks means of conveyance to get to the field and on this basis it was thought that a field closer to the town should be obtained, as there were un- doubtedly many available, and this would prove convenient not only to those who have cars but also, for those who have to walk. It we: felt that since the club must depend on the public for financial support in the ways and means projects, it wouldrbe to the ad-

(By The Canadian Preaa)

Whether it's basketball in New Brunswick. harness racing in Quebec, baseball in Ontario or golf in British Columbia, the av- erage sports-minded Canadian is set for a spring of feverish ath- letic activity.

Baseball and basketball appear to be in their greatest year in corn- munities across the country, a Canadian Press survey shows. Next in popularity with the man- in-the-sireet comes golf.

In New Brunswick basketball is in full swing with games attract- ing an average of 1,000 fans. Ten- nls is expected to receive ‘heater play than previously. Baseball training starts in mid-May. Nova Scotluns are looking forward t0 golf, tennis and boating when the uncertain weather settles down.

Around Montreal the favorite sport is golf and some Z) courses are preparing for their usual l6,- 000-17000 players. Horse-racing — both harness and fiat -draw huge crowds through- out Quebec. Richelieu Park, Mon- treal harness-racing park, opens Alpril 17, earliest in history and at least 60 horses are expected to start drawing sulkles. Thrice- weerkly harness racing cards are expected to outdraw all other sports attractions around Quebec City.

Baseball is in the air in Toronto

with the Leafs scheduled to play their first home game against Newark Bears May 4. Winnipeg reports the only sports now in action are hockey and bas- ketball playoffs with prospects for golfing a bit later.

Golf has had a good start in Regina and most courses are play- able.

An early spring enabled KOlf courses to open in Alberta and in Edmonton players have been in action since the first week in April. A nine-hole extension is planned for the Edmonton muni- cilpal course.

British Columbia sport-mien had just about the best weather in the Dominion for an early sports start. Big years are forecast in golf, baseball, soccer and lacrosse.
