i LATEST LOCAL SHAUGHNESSY THINKS CANUCK GAME FASTER And Big McQill Mentor 8hould Know Something About Both Styles. A despatch from Baltimore says: Canadian football is a faster and better game than the American brand, aocording to "Shag" Shau- ghnessy, who forsakes the diamond jn the fall to handle the reins as coach of McGill University. The big, raw-boned mentor of the Syracuse Baseball Club has soma reasons for his opinion, and does not hesitate to express them and his comments are worthy of considera- tion, from the fact that McGill has played Syracuse University during the last two years. Shaughnessy believes that the frequent "times out" are seriously | menacing the puneh, which football at all times should exhibit, and that the Canadians, whe make the contest move on the jump at all times are in advance of their brethren across the border in the swiftness with which plays are hurled at an oppos- ing team. Comparing the game as plaved in Canada and the United States, Shau- | their own | game there are undoubtedly a num- ghnessy sald: "Playing ber of college elevens in the States which would probably defeat the best thet the Maple Leafs can produce. "However, I think we have the better game. The rules state that when one play is over the ball must be put in play 'immediately' and bs 'immediately' it Is actually handled in 20 seconds a penalty is inflicted. "In the U.S. the game is slow, and is slowing up more every year. Fre- quent consultations before plays, 'time out' for almost anything, and _ Playing to hold "an opponent safe, have jeopardized the sport, and It is not as Interesting as formerly." McGill was beaten each time by Syracuse but Shaughnessy declares that his 'material was not of high order and that 'even then the eleven from tho Salt City was given a hard battle. Last year McGill held Syracuse * Bcoreless for three periods, but a for- ward passing game, combined with a block kick, spelled defeat to the Canadians in the final quarter. Me- Gill excelled in the use of the lateral pass and also showed defensive strength by holding Syracuse on several occasions within the 10-yard zone, according to Shaughnessy. "He Was Always Trying." Parkinson, of the Philadelphia team, led in the chances accepted with 919 and he committed rors, also the most in the league. It does mean something. It shows that heé hustled in going after every- thing that came his way. Less active . players sometimes finish with better averages by failing to go after driv- os In their territories that are lab- elled hits when they leave thie bat. E To say that 'he's always trying" is 'the most sincere compliment that can be handed to any athlete. Carried Off the Prize.

PORT NAP HOTS Well, it's good to see sone money icoming out of the aity council for |sports. Kingston would be miles {ahead of its present standing had |it possessed councils in the past who | knew the value of sporting aggrega- tions to a city. | Did anyone notice that following |the record crowds at the Yankec | Stadium for the opening American | League game, and other similar i sporting records this spring, busi- ness seemed to pick up? One team got $500 from the city fathers and surely fourteen teams will receive some consideration when their plea comes before the finance committee and eventually the city council. If it does not, there will be hundreds of citizens who will mark the incident and remember it. Bille Hughes is looking for some engagements in Syracuse with ban- tams of that district and the Syra- cuse Post-Standard gives quite a chunk of space to the fact. If Billia ever goes over there for a fight they- 'll want a return engagement--i{ they have any fighters. Williams and Oulette of Belleville are reported to be loosening up well for the pitching scason. Mills and Hagerman have been doing the catching so far. Cobourg Central Leaguers ara working indoors so far. Bruce Thompson, former Kingston star, has | been to Rochester to see if that bad arm can be remedied and will like- ly be able to fix it.

Land- is is planning to ask the owners and editors of the newspapers of the United States and Canada, especial- ly the owners of papers in major league cities, to cease printing the tables showing the number of runs made weeky' by the ball clubs. His (investigation of gambling and gambling pools in baseball have convinced him that the print- ing of these tables is merely cater- ing to the pool gamblers and the gambling element, and that if fhe newspapers would stop publishing them, the gambling in that form would be reduced. Commissioner Landis has been in- vestigating baseball pool swind- kng in all the major league citles, and has discovered that the persons who "gamble" on baseball pools have practically no chance te win, since, in addition to the mathe- matical odds against them, the swindlers conducting the huge pools pay out less than 30 per cent. of the total money wagered in prizes and some of the pools appear to give back less than 10 per cent. of their their total takings. " He conyfders this form of gamb- ling, by which huge sums are piled up from small befors, to be most dangerous to baseball, and is press- ing a fight to stamp it out all over the country. ---- AA BBRRAAS ER EARNER EERE ER EE EE EE EEE EEE EE EE EE EE EEN EEE EE EEN | FOR ERR RENEE ERA BEBE BREEN VL CONGRESS siz FECTION : 3 ~ Nhs ASABE RAMEE EN HEE aka Ell Ris very yw rey En mw TEETER LL JUST TAKE A STOLL DOWN THE AVENUE.
