1933 SPORT SEASON
BEARS FEW REWARDS
Lawn Bowlers Only Representatives
to Win .Any. Silverware
For the second straight year, local,
sportsmen will be forced to look back
ona season as bare of material re-
wards as Mother Hubbard's proverb-
ial cupboard. Lack of co-operative''ef-
fort between all concerned niay have
been the chief cause of the failure of
local groups to break into the sport
columns of the country. The lawn
bowlers alone upheld the standard of
other years gaining ;province -wide ac-
claim by their credible performances
at local, district and even Dominion
competitions. To them we wish con-
tinued success for 1934 and hope they
at least are able to keep Wingham
before the public ;eye.
Three different brands of sport
were offered to the winter sports lov-
ers,: hockey, curling and badminton.
The` first" two -were .sadly hampered
by' lack of suitable ice -making wea-
they. The hockey team unfortunately
did not compete in an organized lea-
gue of any calibre and their perforin-
ances Suffered accordingly int both
players' and fan& interest, 'Several
ex-
hibitions -were plaed,with Walkerton,
Palmerston, Lucknow and smaller
teams but most of these were played
to bare pews where the silence was
both audible and depressing. It is
really unfortunate that the locals can
not secure backing for entry into O.
H. A. circles as material is at least
plentiful and' a winner would prove
a godsend to both hockey and the
Arena, in increased gates.
The boys of the besom and stave
were equally unsuccessful as far as
trophies and prizes go, but at least
had the satisfaction of competing iti
a league, They ldst the District Cup
to Palmerston, in a group also con -
tanning rinks front Kincardine, I'.uck-
now, Mount Forest and Grand Valley.
A, Link also competed at Toronto but
lost out one game too soon to get in
the prize money. ; Poor ;ice conditions

At both the Armouries and the gym
of the ,United Church members en-
joyed a fine season of badminton.
This is primarily a social game in
the smaller towns but affords splen-
did exercise to those unable to enjoy
out -door winter sports or ice sports
of any kind. Around two hundred
members playedonthe two floors.
Return tournaments were played with
Kincardine and. Listowel, the local
racquet ` wielders winning two from
Listowel and splitting with Kincar-
dine. Doubtless more tournaments
will be played this year. •
Leaving the realm of winter sports
we come to baseball and bowling. The
local ball tossers once again got into
the play-offs but hit the skids just
when things looked as if they were
pennant -bound. If nothing else was
achieved the team at least uncovered
another promising pitcher in Andy
Bell, another of those wild and woolly
southpaws. Joe Tiffin, the club's
rightlranded'.hce, was most unfortun-
ate in lava final ,start of the year, but
otttside of,,this one game,' pitched ex-
cellent cba11. The team also batted
nearly 'IdO percentage points higher
than in 1932 and maintained a fairly
good fielding average. Prospects for
1934 are most encouraging and here's
hoping they draw a little larged, fol-
lowing than formerly when it was a

Clinton and Goderich. At present four
cups decorate their shelves, the J'oynt
Trophy, Hanover Bowling Club Cup,
Owen Sound. North Challenge, Man-
jouris Challenge and, the Free Press
Trophy. Then, too, the popular Alex.
Crawford 'was upholding the best
Wingiiam traditions down at St. Pet-
ersburg. The club is in good finan-
cial shape and looks forward confi-
dently to 1934. ,
The local track and field represen-
tatives, the High .School, were not as
fortunate this year as formerly, but
doubtless •did their best which, after
all, is the true purpose of, sports. Af-
ter many years up at the old school
the cup was finally lifted by Fergus
with Mount\Forest second and the lo-
cals third. Perhaps the local scholars
will be able to bring back the old niug
in 1934.
Although the town has never boast-
ed a rugby team there is a strong pos-
si.bility that 1934 will see Wingham
represented in this great character -
building game. Clinton and Goderich
interests have communicated with lo-
cal enthusiasts regarding forming a
group and soon local fans will have a
fall sport to cheer for.
While 1933 brought few prizes it
doubtless brought pleasure to its
sport devotees. Let's hope 1934 will
bringrewards in every senseof the
y
word, The Advance -Times wishes all
sportsmen the best of luck in 1934.

in his pay envelope one week and kept
it to himself. The mistake, however,
was discovered, and his next week's
wages were $2 short. Whereupon he
complained, and was asked 'why he
made no mention of the fact when he
was given too much.
"Well," he replied. "1 didn't say

in school, a fine old Latin word mean'
inl the equivalent ot! a tbousana pages.
But a learned English colonel, writing
in the Geographical Journal;• points' out
that a mile means •.'whatever it is held
to mean, and very little more. In 1;344
Dover was 12 miles from Canterbury;
in 1633 the sante Dover was 151/4 miles
from the same Canterbury; the mile
bad changed. And a widely traveled
Englishman, writing in 1617, noted
that "fl. a .Allan.' miles, or ',three
French, e .two and a halfe English,
make on\, Ditch mile, and that one
Dutch mile and a halfe makes a mile
of Sweitzerland. . . ,Even in Eng•
lltnd the miles seeme, and indeed are
more short, neere hoodoo, where the
ways are faire and plalne . . but
towards the North and in some pare
ocular places of 'England, the miles
are longer."
So when we read old English travel.
books a mile may be: a mile, or two
miles, or hardly a quarter of it mile.
But then, as a matter 'of tact, almost
all words are like that. They do not
mean precisely the same thing in
the Twentieth century . as in the Six-
teenth, or in England as In America.

FATHER AND,SON -
IN NET DUEL
Earl Groves Stars as Oldsters Hold
Prudentials to One -A11 Tie.
Supertest Downs Lower' Town 4-0
Arena, Dec. 28th
The Old Timers sprung somewhat
of a surprise on the startled ; Pruden-
tials here Thursday evening as father
Earl kept pace with son "Bob" in a
stirring goal -tenders' duel. In fact,
the aged one had an edge on flaming
youth as Earl had more shots to take
care of. The Old Timers showed
much promise for future games in
holding the fast -skating Prudentials
to a one-alI tie and had a good-sized
crowd'pulling hard for one more goal.
In the second fray of the night
Lower Town showed much improve-
ment in holding Supertest to a 4-0
score, largely through some good
goal -tending' by e youth named Case -
more. The Oilmen had too much
class to be in any great danger and
the forwards showed the best team -
play of the season.
In the first game, the Prudentials
greatly outskated' their elderly (and
somewhat portly) foes, but as no
goals are awarded for fancy skating,
were forced to take a one -all tie, al-
though they appeared to have scored
a second goal which was called back,.
much to the delight of the crowd.
Most of the Prudentials' dangerous
rushes ended up in the corner or on
E. Groves' pads. Soon after the start
of the second period Williams scored
for Prudentials on a pass from M.
Rae. Then came the disputed goal,
and a few minutes afterwards How-
son and Barney Browne beat the de-
fence and Doc shoved home Brown's
rebound. The last period provided
plenty of strenuous hockey but far-
tunately on casualties except a few
hockey sticks,

Lower Town Loses 4-0
Some fine goal -tending by a lad
named Casemore, who donned the
goal` -armour for the first time, enabled
Lower Town to 'hold the well -com-
bining Supertests to a 4-0 score. This
lad showed real promise and except
for faulty clearing did very well. Al-
vin Potter was the Villagers' only real
threat offensively, but most of the
Lower' Town rushes lost their power
at the Oilmen's blue line. Zulauf had
a quiet night behind Wain and Baine,
while Brown, Elliott and Bell tested
Casemore frequently with close -in
shots. Both Elliott and Browne gar-
nered in three points each in the scor-
ing records while Bell 'landed one,
George Mason turned in his best per-
formance to date and was used fre-
quently.
