Curlers from Montague play Here today

Charlottetown curlers will tonight defend the Senator McArthur cup as teams from the Montague Club invade the local club in an effort to regain the trophy they lost last year after being m possession of it for ten seasons.

Local players Journeyed annually to the ‘ricme of the eastern defend- ers in quest or the coveted mug but did not succeed in taking it back until Last season. The previous year they came close when they tied Montaguein play but as it ls a. challenge trophy, a win was need- ed for possession of it.

Tonight Montague curlers will no doubt be out to reclaim the silver- ware and will have a. strong ag- gregation of players competing. The eastern town has been noted in the past for good curling and at one time represented the province in the Macdonald-Bnar playdowns.

On the other hand Charlottetown, after succeeding in landing the Mc- Arthur Cup after so many years trying, will not. relinquish their hold on it without defending it to the last. It looks as though several good matches will take place at the. Charlottetown Curling Club tmiight as a result.

The - following teams will defend the Senator Mc- Arthur Cup against Montague Rinks at 8 p. m.

Ford 0o. says $peeding‘Pigmy’ Truck building

DETROIT. Jan. 22-(APi--The Ford Motor Company in a state- ment today asserted that instead of slowing down production of “plgn1y" trucks as charged by R. J Thomas, president of the coii- gress of Industrial Organizations United Automobile Workers, it. has taken steps “designed to put all possible speed" behind the Job.

The Ford Company an tw other concerns are manufacturing the small command and reconnais- sauce curs for the United States army.

Thomas. lii a statement, chang- ed that the war department had changed specifications for the trucks at the request of the Ford Company. “in such a. way as to reduce materially the military value of cars ordered from Ford." He asserted also that “the Ford Company also inaiioeuvred to get from government sources priority on del very of axles for these cars."

The Ford statement said the trucks re uire a special front axle because t ey are four wheel drive vehicles.

NO PLAYGROUND 0F BRASS HATS

selection boards for Home Guard officers are being appointed. commanders who do not satis'y U19 new conditions of merits and effi- ciency will be asked to iesign with- out complaining, Sir Edward Grigg, Under-Secretary for War announc- ed in the House of Commons.

"The force was made in hiastc," he said. "Those who made the frst EIDDOIlllmEllIS could not then ha-ve had a clear conception of the duties of the Home Guard. It is no fe- ileotion on any member of the Home Guazd to say that his orginal appointment now should be review- cd. I am sure tlic decision will be accepted in a patriotic and disin- forest/ad spirit." _

The selection boards will consist almost enifrely of Home Guard members. Sir Edward said lie was determined to maintain the free" and-easy nai-uie of the Home Guard. It was not. he said. a ‘play- ground for brass hats."

The boards will recommend ap- pointment of area and zone coin- manders who. when approved. will join the selection boards to name battalion commanders. Company commanders will be consulted in se- lection of platoon commanders.

An ago limit of 65 ls Fxcd I01‘ ranks of biitalion commanders downwards. Higher officers on ad- ministrative work niav be older but it is stipulated that from battalion commanders downwards. all officers must be physically fit for scldlxrm under active scrvice condlllcns should emergency requre.

proval as officers. Commissions Mll- not normally bc resigned at lea than three montlrs notice. and the existing fortnighﬂs notice for the rank and file is to stand.

GRAND NATIONAL FOR

Grand National likely will be held next spring, but it is doubtful If it will be run at Alntree. The execu- tivp of the Liverpool race cou se applied‘ for perm'ssi0n to run the race but the government would pH?- fer to held it somewhere other than in a big industrial area. It is poss- ible that a substitute race wll be run at. Cheltcham.

Dumont has New idea up His sleeve

By Whitney Marlin Associated Press Sports Writer

NEW YORK. JAIL z2~-(AP)—- That man is here again, folks. You know, the fellc-w who is plotting to meclianirc baseball. Already Ray Dumont has the gaime so you practically can run it fruni a switchboard. arid now he has some- thing else up his sleeve. A camera. no less.

Dumont is the futuristic young man who originated and nursed along the national semi-pro baseball congress to its present state of well- beng. and he overlooks no new stunt which. might lure customers.

He started these innovations rath-

Till-S year he will try a magic-eye llmDlre on balls and strikes, a1. thine!» what will happen ll the eye falls asleep and fails to catch a ball coniliig over the plate is op- en to question. Probably a balk on the contraption.

Anyway, Dumont already has de- signed his I942 improvements. They include a photo-finish camera to catch plays at h 1e plate so that when some outfzeldcr comes '.~-‘..il‘- 111E down the stretch. carrying 185 pounds. there will be no argument over a nose finish.
