CHICAGO, Aug. 14.-The fate of
professional hockey involving Ma
tional League play in the United
States and Canada for the 1942-42
season may be decided in Toronto,
Ontario. week from today.
Leaders expect to get the go
ahead" signal.
Representatives OF the vast anna
teur hockey organization of Canada
will meet with Canadian govern
ment officials and learn the position
Ottawa will take. Tied up with the
decision is the fate of the sport in
the United States.
Capt. w. G. Hardy, president of
the international Ice Hockey As
soclation, and the Canadian ANA
teur Hockey League, in Chicago on
a speech-making tour for his gov
ernment, expressed his personal be-
left that the game is one of the
best for heightening both army and
civilian morale.
HoIoS Game Helps Morale.
He said today the senior hockey
association in Canada plans. if told
to go ahead, to emphasize games
played by teams from army and
war munitions camps.
William Tobin, president fthe
Chicago Blackhawks. and a Can
adam veteran in the First World
War, said the Canadian government
at present was sympathetic with
the continuation of the National
Hockey League.
Tobln said convas taken by the
Canadian government revealed that
more than 100000 people in the
dominion listened to radio broad
casts of hockey games in Toronto.
The sport has direct effect on
the morale of a Canadian citizen,
just as baseball's continuation helps
in this country I'obin added.
Would Aid War Funds.
Maj. Frederick Mclaughlin, owner
of the Blackhawks and another
First World War veteran, has
pledged to turn over every cent
of profit from Hawks games this
season to war aid funds.
Tobin believes the Blackhawks,
holders of National League atten-
dance records, will draw as we'll as
last season. He says advance res
ervations are larger than ever. The
Hawks will lose only four players.
Goalie Sam Lo Presti is in the

You may wonder why scouts say
that Ed Albosta is one of the best
pitchers in the International League,

record-six victories and six defeats
the Montreal right handler is just

Albosta was troubled by q sore
arm most of the season and only
recently has he displayed the form
that is making the Royals look to
him to pitch them into the playofis
Those six victories all have been
scored since July g. when he stopped
the Baltimore Orioles with one hit
in seven-inning game, and he has
won four of his last five.
Big Ed gained his sixth decision

SAN DIEGO, Calf, Aug. 14.-Joe
Zeno, rookie guard from Holy Cross
and one of the most promising new
corners on the squad, is the Red
skins first casualty of the 1912 cam
paign. He came down with a severe
case OF sunburn and will be out OF

Trainer Doc" Mauro said Zeno

the rough work begins and would
not be set back too much by the
enforced layoff.
Zeno was rather disguised with
the whole affail. He played three

be kayoed by sunburn on his initial

. Our Opinions S.
. Farm Problem

Qualified observers, looking over the
dairying and grain regions, agree unan-
imously that the farmers are not over
stating the gravity of the crisis that con-
fronts them.
Between now and next spring the ma
ton must find some effective relief for
its farmers-some sound. workable for
mula to rescue our greatest. most vital
industry, the production of foodstuffs.
We are handicapped in the beginning
by the fact that for two decades now we
have been experimenting unsuccessfully
in hope of solving a farm problem that
was the exact opposite of the one now
at issue
All of our thought about the farmers
and their troubles centered upon how to
assure them a price for their product
which would enable them to pay their
bills and live decently. The experiments
tried out most often involved, in one
way or another, restrictions upon output.
Now prices are high and viii remain
high for the duration of the war. The
farmer will have no difficulty selling all
he can raise, at good prices. But now,
with an eager market and good prices, the
farmer is stymied by inability to obtain
help with which to raise crops.
From all over the farming areas come
stories of auctions at which stock, tools
and household effects are being sold as
farmers are taken into the armed forces
Those who are not called themselves
are losing their sons, their hired hands,
the neighbors with whom they changed
work." to Uncle Sam.
If the evil were only that the long
depressed farmers are deprived by war
of their chance to recoup past losses, then
non-farmers could be philosophical and
retort that everybody must sacrifice to
help beat Hitler.
But the plight of the farmers is the
tragedy of the whole nation, and of its
armed forces, and of its allies and their
armed forces. For all of the anti-axis
world has to depend, to a considerable
extent, upon the United States production
of foodstuffs.
We do not know what solution will
work. But we do know that a workable
solution has to be evolved between now
and planting time next spring-and if we
wait until planting time, too many farm
workers may be in uniform to permit the
solution to work.
We hope that this matter will not be
permitted to lag along, as have so many
other critical problems, until the best
solution findable will have lost much of
its effectiveness.
