Lucknow will be represented in the Maitland League this year, their —"—entryhavingbeenacceptedanda list of twenty players approved by the League Executive in session last Wednesday , evening^ in Auburn. The boosting of the entry fee from $2.00 if $5.00 for new teams decided Wingham to withdraw their appii- ■ cation and this team will seek admis­ sion to the Central League^ At a previous meeting' the ehtry fee had been set at $2.00 for each team up to a total of 10 teams. This boost irt price caused Lucknow delegates to consider withdrawing also. . Seven teams compose this loop which should do much to develop players .and bring the game, .into prominence in. this locality. The schedule opens on May 22nd, when St. Helens gdbs to Colborne. Luck­ now’s first game is in Dungannon, on May 26th. Maitland League players can have no connection with any other league either past or present and Luck­ nobs squad will be composed chiefly of students, A couple , of good regu-, lations stress that a' team not ready to commence by six o’clock forfeits the game; and' each team sets, its own charge and retains the receipts. Names of Lucknow players sub­ mitted are, Alex McIntosh, Harold Ritchie, Harold Greer, Cliff Wylds, Bill Hewat, jack Fisher, Jack Mac­ Donald, S. Cameron, Bob MacKenzie Bill MacKenzie, Bill * and Charlie Jewitt, Harold Thompson, Leonard MacDonald, Aimer Aitchison, J. Carter, E. Webster, Earl Foster, R. Thompson and G. Maclnnes. < ?

The Deputy Minister of Railways' will not be. reappointed to this new Board of Directors, although no re­ flection is thereby cast On his abil­ ity. The Act is designed to bring the Canadian Naitidnal. Railways .direct Gy under the control Of the Minis­ ter of Railways, who will deal dir­ ectly with the Board. This Bilk is, of course, one of the most import­ ant . introduced by the. Government, as we are all aware the railway pro­ blem. is without doubt the one most vitally affecting our country as a' jyhole. ' It is hoped the deficit may be decreased withOut injury to the employees and it is also definitely Understood that the C. P. R. shall pot have control of the *C. N. R. in any event. Apropos of this it will be remembered that almost twenty years ago, a Member ros& solemnly in his place and moved that the Cr N. R. be sold to the C. P.’R. for the sum of $l_.0(). We wonder what y^ould majority o ed the Maitland loop. St, Helens has in years past been noted for base­ ball achievements. While baseball has beeri dormant there for -the past lew seasons, there are siill & number of the “old timers” who are. anxious to get back into the game and along .with some promising young bloods, St. Helens may develop a team that will .. bear watching. One handicap at present "appears to be lack of suitable , ball field and St. Helens will in all probability, play their games in Lucknow.. Whitechureb, who sailed through to the pennant last year, have Jost some of their most able performers, chief among them being Jack Garton. But hr spite of this1 they will be able -to draw—from Eangsidfe, and there’s considerable material available in that settlement, so all in all White­ church may give the Best of them a merry chase again this^^ar; ' The Central Baseball League will again operate this year but will not be offiliated with the O.B.A.A.

Apparently the life of the deep-sefa fisherman is, Jtrnt-a happy- one and—it- has' beep^ much worse during the past' few years. The question was. also .raised rabout the .fishermen in inland- waters and it is hoped they may receive some consideration in the near fu­ ture., ’ The Supplementary Estimates^ have also been before the.

Finance, Honourable Charles ‘ Dun­ ning, exactly six years, zto the day after his famous Budget of 1930. which was so good that a number of Conservatives could find no fault with it and voted with the Liberals against their own Party. ’ Among the interested spectators were Her Excellency, Lady Tweeds muir, members of the foreign diplo- niatic corps and four Provincial Pre­ miers. The Minister of Finance in his annual statement announced a real and steady improvement in the financial status of th.e Dominion, al­ though .big economic problems -are~ yet to be solved. | Some of the interesting items in the Budget are: Sales Tax increased from 6% to 8%; duty ‘on farm im­ plements reduced to 7%%; tax on gasoline reduced to lc per gallon; excise duty on Canadian brandy re­ duced to.$3.00 per gallon; 104 tariff items reduced; 2 terns increased,. among which I* am sorry to say furniture does not appear; corpora­ tion income Tax increased but .no in­ crease i on .personal Income Tpx; tourist exemption on purchases to e value of $100 made in the United States, . .
