Something which we think ap-
plies to all typic 9f sports in moat
of the towns in this area was
drawn to our attention in the Aug-
ust
u ;ust issue of "Fourth Estate," of-
ficial organ of the London
Free Press Employees' Association.
Three of the employees, chosen to
organize sports in the London City
League (softball and hockey) re-
call when they played:
"When we started to play in '34
we had no sports committee to or-
ganize, no one to pass out $3.50
sweaters, umpire fee, equipment,
etc. The players all 'dug deep' to
help sponsor our fon. We were
always able to 'field a ball club or
hockey team of boys who wanted
to play without being coaxed and
requested to be present. Even if
it cost money to rent an arena,
they were there because they lov-
ed to play. But now it's a far dif-
ferent story.
"The young 1;ellows of today just
aren't interested. with manage-
ment quite willing to sponsor
teams in organized sport, the play-
ers are not too interested.
"Early in April the sports com-
mittee asked us to manage the ball
club.
"We had all decided to quit ball
but were willing to lend a hand to
the young players who wished to
play. In May and June we had 15
to 20 players at each game. One
by one the Squad became smaller.

The United Nations postage stamps shown above will appear during
the fan of 1951 and win be used in all mail sent from U.N. Head-
quarters. Under a recent agreement between U.N. and the United
States, U.N. will issue its own postage stamps and will establish
a United Nations Post Office to replace the U.S. Post Office now in
operation at Headquarters. Ordinary stamps will be issued in 11
denominations, The airmail series will be issued in 4 denominations.
In the final games two of us had
to play in order to make a full
team.
"In hockey the firm supplied
transportation and rented arenas
fur chaps who wanted to play in
the City League. The team (or
part of a team) had two or three
practices, but on the night of their
first scheduled game no one show-
ed up.
"Just what is wrong? Is it lack
of organization, or merely just
plain lack of interest?"
We agree with these fellows on
the last point—lack of interest.
Around here it's not lack of inter-
est on the part of players alone,
but also fans.
However, we think the main an-
swer to the question is the "money
situation." "Huoh muoh will we
get if we play?" is the question
that seems to be on the tip of the
tongues of all intended players.
No matter how you look at it,
amateur sport is no more! Pro-
fessionalism has stepped in. Our
softball league this year is a good
example of this.
Teams are paying vast sums of
money for pitchers and what funds
are left will probably be handed
over to the other players.
Another hockey season is just a
couple of months away. Will it be
the same story, 'Pay or we don't
play'? Let's hope not.
Surely a group of athletes can
be dug up to form a hockey club
in Seaforth without the individual
players asking for a "handout."
Let's play to win, not play for
pay!
