Take for example the organizing of leagues. Schedules are drawn up. But that is the easiest part. The important thing Is to see that the schedules are carried out. This means that the fixtures must be made public. It also means that the captain of each team sees that his, or her, players are advised, and that they turn out when the games are to be played. Finally it means that each player must know when the team is to play and then must be on hand. The executive is also charged with the, responsibility of seeing that the equipment is on hand, This is most important.

In the first game the General Motors had always too much power, experience and drive for the younger Bo-Me-Hl team. General Motors played their usual bang-up game while the school boys put on one" of their poorest displays of the season. Th;y seemed to bo unable to untangle themselves and played away below form. For General Hiarns Arney, Pavlikis, Vnckovlch and Parlett scored 3 each while Slmpnson, Johnson, Lindsay, Davis and F'.tch scored twice each. Their fielding was very sure. Simonson look two very hot drives at third ing it to the playing field and jjbase and then doubled the batter then collecting it after the ; games. In these times it may be-particularly trying. This matter came up in course of a talk with the executive-director of the Civic Centre recently. In some lines of sport it Is quite impossible to obtain equipment for the simple reason that it is not available. The shortage Is not only city-wide, it is Dominion-wide. Fastballs. baseballs, basketballs, lacrosse sticks are all in short supply.
