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.

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.
