Every evening a bunch of young kids. play ball in the upper end of the ericket field and if they play on as they are they will be big leaguers some day. They certainly play fine ball, and many a grown man fond ot the game has stopped to look and been amazed at the way the kids play. They also have a "choice" store of baseball language, some of which might well be dispensed with in | view of the close proximity of churches. Bund In Maodomald Park.

The cricketfield is also used every epening. It will only be a week or two now until the game will be in full swing and teams will be cropping up all over, Y.M.C.A. Athletic Events. The athletic field of the Y.M.C.A. will be in full blast next week when some fine events will be pulled . off, Many interesting events have been scheduled for this fall, to ensure a good time for the members, senior, in- termediate and juniors. Labor Day Road Race. The Labor Day road race should draw quite a bunch of good runners, although the local Don do not ap- pear to take much interest in it, as yet. Robert O'Brien, the Gananoyue runner, won the race last year and will probably enter this year again if he is in shape. His stomach has been in bad shape since he was given a dose of liniment instead of medicine by his trainer, just before a recent race. Cummings, Gananoyue, and Cole, Deseronto, will likely run, and if the battery is home Stinson will likely en- ter. Stinson ran a good race here at the grocers' picnic, finishing third. 4 Wanderers Won. The Wanderess, a local baseball nine, drove out to Battersea on Wednesday for a friendly game, and won out 26 to 17. The game was witnessed by a large crowd of people. The locals lin ed up: Milne, c.; Shultz, p.; Henderson, lb; Vallier, 2b.; F. Henderson, s.8.; Bir: mingham, 3b.; Fitz, 1.f.; Adsit, mf; Barry, r.i. George Veal, umpire. A return game will be played here shortly. Sporting Notes. Cleveland has been slumping regu- larly in the American Baseball League. From June 29th to July 8th, O'Brien, of St. Paul, hit safely in thir- teen straight games. Pitcher Frill, of Newark, will go to the New York Highlanders at the close of the Eastern League season. Raleigh, the pineteen.year-old pitch- or of the Reds, held the champion Cubs to two hits, but lost by 1 to 0. At Omaha Gurness, an amateur pitcher, fanned thirty-one men in sev- cnteen innings, giving five hits and passed four men, yet lost his game. Both the Pittsburg National and Chicago American clubs claim the ser- vices of Blackburn, the star infielder of the Providence Eastern League team. Alfred Shrubb will continue his trip to the coast from Winnipeg. He was disappointed in his breakdown against Acoose, owing to the standing of a cord of his right leg. Word comes from Boston that Lang- ford is training harder than ever be fore for his Ketchel bout. He weighs 162 pounds stripped at the present time, and says he will have no trouble in making the middleweight limit. Langford scems to be confident of suc- cess, All The New Styles.

By the death of William H. Miller and Ernest T. Roberts, Kingston lost two of its civic servants in one after noon. Both died about the same time. They wore both ardent Britishers, and: responded to the call to arms when danger threatened their country. Erncst Roberts had bem in feeblo health for some years and suffered considerably, though he was at his Jutics in the city cogincer's office iwo lags He - served under Wolseley in ¢ Rea River rebellion, and was also with the 14th Regiment when it sarvisoned Fort Henry in 1885. Both the gity auditor avd the Veloran clerk i tho enginerr's office were familiar ligures in the city buildings, and their somrades will mourn them many a lay. City Aaditor Vacancy.

One thing 'is certain io those inti- nately connected with civic business-- me move faithful or competent will Jot be found to fill the office than the nan who has been called away by jeath. The salary is not a large onc, wing only $850, bub the position just sited Mr. Miller, who was conient to abor for the amount allowed by the ouncil for the city audit work. Ori- rinally the salary was $750, but was 'creased to $850, although the 'work s worth $1,000. There are several \pplicants for the position. Among hose mentioned for the office arc T. 0. Minnes, BR. J. McClelland and W. C. Martin. What They're Suggesting. Tn civie circles, it is being suggested that R. J. McClelland. be appointed itv auditor, and his place in the en- rincer's office be filled by a clerk at #600, thus affecting a saving to the ity of $250 a year. As the city coun- il is equally divided politically, thee will no doubt be the usual jockeying. lo make things approximately equal, an alderman suggests that Mr. Me- Clelland be appointed city auditor and the other section of the council name the engineer's clerk to succeed him.
