SOMETHING IN THE AIR Editor: Wingham Advance-Times "Anonymous" avows that he has no intention of entering into a contro- versey with me anent "The something in the Air" which he referred to in his introductory letter, In my com- ments on- his article I advised him to ponder over what I had said. Evident- ly he accepted my advice, and has in- dulged in a little pondering, This has induced him to steer clear of any further reference to the "mysterious", to descend from his airial altitude, and drop back to terre-firma' where lie rightfully belongs. Now that he is at home again, and, confining his atten- tion to the fascinating study of "Brass Tacks", their nature, habits, and ac- tivities, lie is verily getting some- where, and is giving expression to his opinions regarding sport, in plain and lucid language. Most of what he says in his second letter I entirely agree with. He uncovers his reason for in- vading your territorial columns, and has made a valiant effort to stimulate and improve Wingham's sport spirit, He and 1 are in the same boat in this undertaking, hut we differ in regard to the methods by which improvement can he accOmplished, and in our re-. spective estimates of the virility of our local sport spirit as it exists today. I esteem this spirit as fairly active, and healthy, he regards it as slovenly, weak and almost prostrated, in sup- port of his view, he asks "has Wing- ham a Race Track, a Fall Fair, a Base- ball Field." As to the last item, if Anonymous will'accept my assurance, we have one, maybe not a very good one, but one anyway. As to the first item, we do not possess one; 1 think we are betel. off without it, because that worst of all vices', the vice of bet- ting is so closely associated with it. Immediately betting invades any sport its purity and cleanliness is undermin- ed, The want of a Fall Fair I regret. On the credit side of our Ledger we have a good Skating Rink an exten- sive Bowling Green, a pretty fair Soft- ball field, and, when it is renovated we will have a wonderful. Curling Cubicle. So, I think, on the whole we are pretty well supplied with most things that sport requires for the sat- isfying of its cravings, and its appe- tites. Compared with other towns in our vicinity we are relatively "rich' in sport furniture. At least that is my opinion and "anonymous" letters have failed to shake it, or make any formi- dable assault on it. I will, of course, continue to do what I can to encour- age the honest development of our sport spirit, as I have always hitherto done. I believe "Anonymous" will join me in this, and many others too. I can forsee the time when by united_ and determined action Wingham's sport spirit will he something that we may have occasion to boast of, and be very proud of. Yours truly, Jas. G. Webster.
