The Hamilton Spectator says: Hamilton is in second place in the Michigan-Ontario league standing this morning and Sandy Ballantine blames morning baseball for it. Alexander the Great claims that if | yesterday's game had been played at a sane hour, the Hams would have won, for he says that high-salaried athletes cannot perform as well in the morning as after they have par- taken of their noonday meal. But until the Hamilton pitching staff is bolstered up, it does not look as though the team is going to get bet- ter than second. Win For Oshawa The Oshawa team, with it King- ston lineup defeated the Bowman- ville team in the Central League at Bowmanville, on Wednesday by a score of 8 to 0, Gallagher played in centre field and Patton, who was on the mound, struck out seven men and was given gilt-edged support.

This seven-year-old unsexed son of McGee and Fair Bmpress upset all the dope when he defeated Grey Lag in the Brooklyn handicap at Aque- [duct for the $10,000 purse.

" DAYS (S FOREVER ! re] Ce?' DID BRITTON HAND LEONARD THE RAZZ Benny's Friends 8ay That Jack Had His An- gora. New York is still trying to find out what induced Benny Leonard to throw away the welterweight cham- pionship the other night by walking around the referee and pasting Jack Britton when he was down. Friends of Leonard and Britton be- come indignant at even a hint that it might.have been a pre-arranged bit of acting to pave the way for an- other meeting at some future date. Leonard still stoutly maintains that Britton was not officially on the floor when he hit him and others of the lightweight champion's follow- ing defend him by claiming that he lost his head. Apparently the New York boxing commission has no doubts about the fight being "on the up and up." The commission suspended Charley Leon- ard, the champion's brother, for jumping into the ring and making it a double foul, but the solons didn't st ar on FRIDAY, JUNE 30, 1922. | BADMINTO v TO BOXING a -- HOLIDAY TIME is Bicycle Time.
