While on Main St this week I overheard a conver sation between some of the wo- men of the town which went like this Well telling you my husband says that if they dont win tonight he isnt going to another hockey game and at the time I thought What an at titude Our boys the Spitfires played that night and they lost So what They also made mis takes Again So what we all Those boys gave everything they had so much so that it re quired minutes overtime to break a tie the end of five minutes the score was against us Did the fans stick with the boys and encourage them on at a time when they most needed it No With five minutes to go about two thirds of the people rose with a loud groan and tripping over their chins while they howled that they were never coming back they left How must the boys have felt at such a show of poor sportsman ship What is wrong with people that they cant take a loss We need a be a good sport week in town like our be kind to animals etc weeks declared by the mayor or the churches during which time we would go around patting the loser on the back for a change and giving him encouragement to go on In that week all the disgrunt led fans could put on skates get hockey sticks and show us how hockey should be played I am Philadelphia where the father engaged in weaving In they emigrated to Upper Can ada and in John took up acres of wild land in Geor- township
