Wingham all it needs in the way nf pitching ability.” - r — Rumor—has it that Kincardine is .‘onsidering trying to entice a few hockey players to the Lakeside town. Among those whom the C. B’s. are •euorted to be anxious to have on their roster next year, are Joey Kaybould. Bob Thompson arid Doh MacKay, the latter having perform ed for Clinton Colts this season. Tory Gregg may get his amateur -•ard next year arid such an array of riar performers, along with some elassy local talent, sure stacks up paper like a sweet aggregation. * ♦ But then again all this may be much of a pipe dream. Whether not; those mentioned could be in- iuced to the Lakeside Town, we do not know, other than in the case of Bob Thompson. While Bob is keen for both hoc key and baseball, he won’t be hired away by prospects of championship teams. Sport is a second considera tion with] him for its a job he wants and the town that can offer him a job at the printing trade (or other /suitable employment for that mat ter) is the town that’s going to land him. Bob learned the printing at the O.S.D. in Belleville and while a cap able workman, has not been able to secure work. That’s what he wants and whatever town provides him with it," is the town that will benefit by his sport ability. * Walkerton rink had a surplus this year, after paying all expenses and interest charges, sufficient to whack $300. of the mortgages, which rather upsets the general belief th^it. rinks cannot be operated on a pro fitable basis. •• ♦ • ♦ You will notice that “Lefty” Gold-,; ,smith’s name doesn’t appear among the list of those applying for trans fers—fact is, as we reported several weeks ago, Hector has more than one iron in the fire, and it is still a toss-up as to where he will choose to locate this season;—Raisley Ad-' vocate. * Cameron Geddes is to have the last laugh, according to the follow ing from Gordon Sinclair’s column in the Star at the time of the T^eaf- Red Wing spries: And Camerqfi Geddes, he of the foghorn basso, writes from Lucknow that hockey fans theirs have been giving him, the ra2iz because he in sists all pucks used in N.
