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.

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.

2/iL Whlte.cllfek’ .League |en tosiness sMn and integrity arid
~ one “who-is-rtried~'and " experrenced in"
practical railway matters and who
adds to this human understanding. It
is understood that (Mr. S'. J; Hunger
ford, who combines in himself all
these attributes, is the man for the
pofsitibn.
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. Tees-
water, Fordwich, Brussels, Harriston,
Mount Forest, Drew, Clifford, Ayton
and Neustadt are expected to enter
teams. The next meeting will be
held in Clifford, May 11th;

'Wingham will enter the" Central
League now instead of the Maitland.
Raising the entry fee from $2.00 to
>5.00 for new teams seeking admis
sion to the Maitland loop was respon
sible for Wihgham coming to this,
decision. .

This might even' be a better loop
for Lucknow to enter, because it
would allow last year’s Bruce League
players to keep in theghme.

lengthy trips would make | it a more
costly league to be associated with,

Jack MacDonald of . the- Chesley
Enterprise says: “Looking over this
year’s crop of Bruce League officials
we find that there are ttvo new faces
in the Seats of the Mighty, namely
.Dr. Carson of Southampton and
Howard Agnew of Lucknow,
tatter is the first member of the
executive to hail from

The

Bridges,

play-actor, acted as the league’s
first treasurer. Howard is a husky>
big chap who has been a great ball
booster ih the, Sepoy village and he
will likely have some good ideas. for
the i advancement of baseball in
Bruce/’ '
the question of subsidies for deep-'
jsea fishermen was discussed by the
Menib'ers from British Columbia apd
the Maritime Provinces. 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. House, a mat-,,
ter of absorbing interest to most of
u&.. I have., .been informed by the
Minister of Public Works, whosibi
Department is ip. charge of,.the work-
in harbors .along... the Lakes, that it
is his intention and desire to see
that these small ports are placed in .
proper shape. We all realize what
this means to the. many people who
make their living in these places and
although the particular harbors are
pot mentioned by name they are in-
eluded in-a^-blanket—vote-for-general-
work. t
Of course the hig|v light of the
week is the May Day Budget which
was introduced to a full House and
crowded galleries by the Minister
of. 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, . .
