Brundage steadfastly has refused to be considered for reelection, and Patrick Walsh, New York, generai~ ly was regarded ss most likely to succeed him. Brundage was drafted over his protest for the present term, his sixth.
 Spirited bidding among delegates from several cities was an early development in anticipation of the selection of sites for national championships. Los Angeles and Denver seek the outdoor track and field meet. Los Angeles, New York; Detroit, Indianapolis and Miami are prepared to fight for the mems and women's outdoor swimming championships.
 New York is expected to get the indoor track and field fixture, aa usual, while Lake Placid, N. Ys again is the most likely choice for the national bobsleigh event.
 New Districts
 A change in the set-up of ath- letic districts over the nation is contemplated as necessary to elim- mate the unwieldy sections. which probably will be split. This would pTOuuCG IIAOIS uAotlAItG, pNby NCA~~ gates believe, also more interesting sectional competition.
 Delegates are confronted by 1b8 records to be ratified or tossed out and all the routine business piled up through the year.
 First official announcement came last night when Brundage said an investigation is being made into amateur sports conditions for mak- ings srule-changes to bring about uniformly in all branches. Elim- ination of inconsistencies in aml- teurism is the objective. Unsettled
 What dispcSS:.ion will be made of the Olympic games controversy is doubtful. At last years meeting delegates voted against the United States competing at Berlin in 1S36 because of German discrimination against Jews. Subsequently,, Ger many relented and A. A. U. oppn- sition subsided. But some delegates believe the Olympic question will bob up as an issue during the | three-day conventions.

WHY-NOT BOWLING
 CHATTER

B. Provincier is one of the steadfast bowlers we ever saw. Not many high scores but she bowls her average every Thursday night.
 l.. Staigwell is coming along fine as bowler considering that she never bowled before. So she says. Rose Genest is getting a lot of practice to beat Cell Mathieu and almost done it last night. Angie Delage had an alibi for her poor scores last night. Wonder what it was?
 Marie Michaud says I have no luck at all. Look at Lil and Cell beating me by one pine for high single. That's all right, Marie, keep on trying.
 Alice Cusson must have had a l bad day because her scores except the last game were that bad. | B. Coulombe does not say much | one way or another but she is a
 pretty good bowler.
 l Lil Vanase and c. Mathieu hav-
 ing hot fight to see who was go- ing to take the honors. LII won in
 pinfall but was tied, for high single. You win for tonight, LII.
 Who started that whispering
 campaign about little yum yum
 that was held in the hall after the
 games last night? You could at
 least tell us how 1t tasted, Cell.

BATTERY BOWLING
 NOTES

The Scrap Room boys took two games from the Packing Room outfit They took the first game easy enough winning by 21 pins. They had to work little harder in the second to win by pins. The Scrapper's should have gone home and left there average for they were swamper by an even 100 pins.
 The "Lab" team with four men hitting over the 300 mark did not have much trouble taking games from the Shipping Room boys. They also increased their lead to two full games over the Scrap Room.
 We welcomed into our ranks a new bowler last week. He is H. Blondin, we'll known Hopeville athlete. He rolls for the Packers. He replaced H. Perreault. Howie started out with bang by bow ling lem over for 305. We wish you many more good night, "bowling.' We also lost .euf. good friend H Schmitzer, who rolled for the Scrapper. Sorry to see you go Hen- nie. His place will be taken by good old Uncle" Gus Bernier. We also would like to SC every member of our league who can make it to come up to Genlot's on Tuesday night and cheer the. boys on. They are in pretty fast com pany.

 What g. race this league has turned out to be! Eight of the 12 teams are within striking dis tance of first place. When one con- siders that this league operates under no handicap system; that every team bowls on It's own merits week in and week out; the close- ness of the teams shown in the above team standing, where only four games divide first and eighth place, only goes to prove the fine class of bowlers on seach teams hoster. To-night's bowling winds up the first series. The league op- crates a straight through one sea- son affair, so that we look forward to many upsets during the last half.
 Big" Jack Raynor, at one time considered about the best bowler in this city, is fast rounding into his old form. In the third game last week Jack ran up a 154 game. just three pins short of high single. We look to see Jacks aver age well over the 110 mark at the close of the season.
 We hear that our Fred Miller is an expert three cushion and balkline player. Recently Fred put on an exhibition at one of the downtown pool parlors with one of the nations best players. In both of these games Fred done him

MOOSE AND GOAT LEISURELY VISIT
 HOPE COMMUNITY
Steward Gateway

Two huge moose stalking leis- urely through the by-paths of the community and a wild mountain goat tied to a fence post were two features of entertainment enjoyed recently by the residents of Hope.
 The animals came down from the hills and seemed in no hurry to move on. Tn fact the goat, popularly supposed to leap from crag to crag with carefree abandon and grace. proved so docile that the neighbors fastened rope about his horns and tied him to a yard fence that everybody might flock about for a good look at him. It was the nearest many a hunter had ever gotten to such an animal. Held in captivity during night, the goat was next day sent on his way to his native wilds.
 The moose took their time about it, nosed about camp for a time before trotting into the woods. It was conjectured that harras- sing coyotes had driven the anil mals into the open.

Auto alarm" apparatus, so con- structed that it responds to noth- ing but a special distress signal of twelve weIl-spaced dashes, is be- ing placed aboard five of the Can adian Pacific's Britis h Columbia coastal liners by the Canadian Marconi Company.
 Already the Princess Louise and Princess Charlotte, in the Alaska service, and the Princess Alice, re- lief ship on the triangle run be- tween Vancouver, Victoria and Se- attle, and the Vancouver Seattle night-run ship have been equipped with the auto alarm" system and this week installation will be com pleted on the Princess Marguerite and Princess Kathleen, sister ships on the triangle and Vancouver Seattle night runs.
 By means of the auto alarm, , the special distress signal designed for this equipment. copies of which have been issued to all shore sta tions and ships, sounds an alarm bell simultaneously on the bridge and in the operators sleepin quarters.
 Thus the operator, turning in fol the allotted forty winks, cuts in the auto alarm" and is instantly reused when any distress signal is picked up.
