THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1918. w Sr ---- With the Ultona Sound Box Plays Any Re- cord Made Better. At the Toronto Exhibition crowds stood around the exhibit of Brunswick Phono- graphs and were absolutely astonished at the clearness and naturalness of the Bruns- wick with the Ultona Sound Box, playing Brunswick, Edison, Pathe, Victor and Col- umbia records with changing to any differ- ent parts or pieces. This makes THE LAST WORD In phonographs as you have all the re- cords of all manufacturers at your disposal to pick and choose, and your Brunswick will play them better than the machine they were originally made for. Why ? Because it is made ny the old wood work- ing institutions in this country who have been making cabinets for leading phono- graph makers for years. They pick out the best ideas from all these different machines' and place them in one. FINAL PHONOGRAPH For you. Is this not what you want.

Athletics have reached gigantic proportions in the operations of the Canadian Y.MIC.A. overseas Dur- ing ven months ending July last, games have These include baseball, indoors out, soccer, football, badminton, crosse, tennis and volley balls Baseball accounts for most of the above, the proportion being 10,000 balls and 1,200 bats. Nearly 5,000 fielders' gloves 'were provided, and 620 first base mitts, 575 deckers, 625 masks and 485 protectors com- pleted the equipment for this game alone. Indoor baseball received 6,- 000 balls and 3,000 bats. Soccer called for 4,500 balls with 1,300 extra bladders, this game far outdoing football, whose require- ments were met with 100 balls and | half that number of bladders. Clothing for the players called for 17,300 shoes, 17,000 jerseys and 15,000 nickers, Among the mis- cellaneous items provided were 74 pistols with 15,000 cartridges, 100 megaphones, 100 tape mea es, 6,- 000 yards tug- -of-war rope, 650 sets boxing gloves and . 350 sets of quoits. of and la- Shortest Nine-lnning Game. A baseball record that is likely to be permanent in the dope books was established eight years ago today, on the Southern League lot in Atlanta, Ga., when Atlanta defeated Mobile, playing full nine innings, in exactly 32 minutes, The nearest approach to it was a game which lasted ten min- utes longer, and which was played in 1912 at Binghamton, when the local club of the New York State League and the Albany team rushed through the contest in 42 minutes, In September 1904, Atlanta was the scene of another hurry-up con- test when the Crackers and Shreve- port pulled off a pastime in 44 min- utes, Back in 1898. San Francisco and Oakland turned the trick in 47 minutes, which then constituted a record, tying the one set up in 1884 by the Dayton and Ironton O., clubs, It is coinciience that all but one of these exceptionally rapid games were played during the month of September. The time record for - a double- header of two full games was sung up in 1905, with the Oakland and Los Angeles clubs of the Coast League doing the rush stunt. They tore off the first pastime in 47 min- utes and 30 seconds, and the second in' 51 minutes, the two contests re- quiring an hour and 38 1-2 minutes, England Found Dogs Valuable. England has found the dog most valuable in war work. In England they have several camps for the training of dogs and a few weeks ago the (British Government called upon the fanciers of Great Britain and Der colonies for dogs and more dogs. The Government 'pays all shipments to the camp and furnish- es the owner with a bill of receipt and promises to return the dog to him after the war, providing 'he survives. The reeds especially sought are Great Danes, Mastiffs, St. Bernards, Newfoundlands, Aire- dales, Retrievers and Collies. Only males, not less than a year and a half old, will 'be accepted.
