LATEST 'LOCAL CITY LEAGUE HAS STRONG EXECUTIVE General Meeting on Saturday Night a Big Success--Next Gathering on 28th. It was a very successful meeting that the Kingston -Amateur Baseball League enjoyed on Saturday night. One of the principal matters on the docket 'was. the election of officers and the following men will guide the destinies of Kingston's largest sport- ing body this season: Honorary President--Ald. Sargent. ti President--James Kane, First vice-president--Patrick Mor- Harry an. Second Vice-president--Jack Der- ry. _ Third Vice-president--Jack Day. Secretary-Treasurer--M. V. Buf- fam. . "va. One of the important moves of the meeting was again to co-ordinate the offices of secretary and treasurer. M. V. Buffam, who has been with"the league for years, was re-elected to the post and has consented to look after the duties, even though they are certainly heavy ones. Two new men appear on the list of officers, Mesars. Derry, of the firm of Walsh & Derry, tallors; Jack Day, of the Sun Life Insurance Company, former winner of the 168-pound intercolle- glate boxing title of Queen's Univer- sity. The executive is a strong one and should guide 'the K.A.B.L. through another successful year. A Fine Report, > he report ofshe treasurer, M. V. Bu , was presented and is a fine one, It showed that, after buying individual' trophies for the winners of the Mercantile League champion- ship, and providing a banquet for the championship teams, the associ- ation finished last season with a bal- ance of $24.10, largely due to the surplus accumulated by the old Mer- cantile League in previous years.

The Victorias asked for admission to the junior section of the league. They are the third team in so far and others are in prospect. It was decided that another meet- ing would be held on Monday eve- ning, April 28th, in the Whig Build- ing, at eight o'clock at which all interested in city league baseball are urged to be present, INTERCOUNTY LEAGUE 10 HOLD BIG MEETING Union With Lennox and Ad- dington 8till in the Air-- Many Rumors Afloat. The Intercounty League is holding a big general meeting in the Whi, Building on Thursday evening next at eight o'clock and there are mat- ters of such importance before the gathering that all delegates and many interested baseball mex will likely gather for the occasion. The first order of business before the meeting will be the consideration of the coming season and a short review of the past. The election of officers will 'be an important part and it looks as though there . will be miany changes. Past officers of the league have either moved away or find that they cannot give their 1 time as formerly and the mew exe- cutive 'will probably be composed for the most part of new blood.

Victoria Street. ~~ "Phone 1042, n Thirty started, butsonly seven finished in this year's grand national steeplechase at Ain- tree, England, and no wonder if all the jumps are of the same kind as that depicted in the above picture. . A gues cannot be arranged as they are surrounded by O.B.A.A. teams who cannot play with them. There are a thousand and one reasons why in- dependent ball 1s not in the best in- terests of the sport. We can easily grant that many eastern leagues have not been get- ting a fair shake from the O.B.A.A. but the only way to cure that is to -organize so strongly in the east that it_will be possible to demand recog- nition. Plcton has been - getting away with a walk-over of all the accepted O.B.A.A. principles and in spite of that has won two interme- diate championships, with the proud approval of the parent pody. Such abuses can only be terminated by prganization in the east. At Thursday's meeting it is almost certain that an O.B.A.A. delegate will be present and he may be asked some interesting questions. It a delegate should be sent it is to be hoped that he will be one of the principal officers with authority to answer such questions. The Kingston City League may al- s0 have a representative dt the meet- ing to bring up matters of interest to both organizations. The prospects are good for base- ball in the counties this summer and it is to be sincerely hoped that the proposed unipn between the leagues and teams and the three counties will go into effect. Seven-thirty is the time and delegates have been asked to come prepared to make their entries. pt ces PROS. TAKE BACK SEAT T0 AMATEURS Capt. J. T. Sutherland Upholds His Beloved Players and Clubs. ---- '""Hundreds of lgcal hockey enthu- slasts witness the Sons of Ireland- Sault game and also the games be- tween Canadiens and Calgary in the Stanley Cup finals in the local Au- ditorium. The Soo Greyhounds are world amateur champions and Cana- diens World champion professionals. Is there one of those hundreds who would venture to say that the Grey- hounds are in the same class with Canadiens as a hockey team? I doubt it there is. But it does not follow that one holding the opinion that the best professional team is supe- rior to the best of the amateurs is not in favor| of encouraging the latter.--Philip"McCannix in the Ot- tawa Citizen." In the Montreal Standard recent- ly,.the above statement appeared. It was brought to the attention of Mr. James T, Sutherland, who was in the city over the week-end and dur- ing the course of a talk with the Whig, he said: : "The above statement, coming from an out and out professional hockey centre,. is so absurd that I feel compelled to correct it without further explanation. "In order to . make a correction that would In any way prove en- lightening to hockey enthusiasts I might state that the Sault Ste. Ma- rie hockey team, Canadian amateur hockey champions, has five forwards each of whom made Morenz look like a dray horse when they met and de- feated Morens' team, Stratford, one year ago. If that is a fact, and the records prove the'same conclusively, Mr. McCann is guilty of one of two things: Either he is distinctly pre- judiced In favor of professional hockey or he is not the hockey ex- pert one would believe him to be. "Toronto hockey public know full emt FROM THE OUTSIDELOOKING IN, | The report of the treasurer of the K.A.B.L.*in a colemn adjoining, will be read by baseball fans with great interest and probably with some surprise. It is a tribute to the city league which fought last year in the face of overwhelming odds and lack of official support and to the handful of officers who, by their hard work, made such a good season possible. And, though it may seem a sort of backhand slap, it might be in order to wonder--when the city league, with its small crowds, voluntary collection system, with one in ten paying anything, and then never over twenty-five cents, could turn over something near two thousand dollars-- what was turned over by a team with large crowds, a fifty-cent admission to closed grounds and a five hundred dollar grant from the city ? The Kingston C.0.B.L. team is to be encouraged. | It is a great thing for the city and puts up high class entertainment (even if some of last year's games were more entertainment than baseball) which is enjoyed by Kingstonians. But when fourteen junior-class teams, with a hard struggle, open grounds and the makings of future ball players in their hands, received no encouragement or official grant, it seemed a strange kind of discrimination to give a large sum to a self-supporting team. Perhaps, however, other financial statements, in the same detail, will be forthcoming and then all the fans can see just why that sum was needed and just how it was expended, along with the other received during the year. But other 'years had other stories and this season we all look ahead to much better things. A wise move be to jump into that third position in the senior section of the city league, |p and operate an intermediate team which would be a developing ground for thelr players and a link between couple of budding clubs getting a line on the position, but it's first served and the C.0.B.L. Victorias are the latest tain, right off the bat, and that ds, A hockey champ-ship in a walk. 's a curious thing how the pro. press supporters imagine amateurs of the Morenz type as stars only after they become professionals. The O.H.A. teams have enough Morenz type to stock the N.H.L. for years to come. 'Amateur hockey is sufficiently represented and upheld by its Soo Canadian champions and its Granite- Olympic World's Champions to be above such criticism as is offered by Mr. McCann." ---------- CARPENTIER AND GIBBONS TO BATTLE NEXT MONTH. Paris, April 19.---Articles for a ten round no-decision bout to be staged in Michigan City about May 31st, between Georges and Tommy Gibbons, were signed here today. Francois Deschamps, Carpentier's manager, signed for the Frenchman and Eddie Kane, Gibbons' manager, signed for the American, Jack Curley represented Floyd Fitzsimmons, Chicago promoter, and posted a forfeit of $15,000 binding the match. Kane and Curley arrived last night after making the trip on the Leviathan and after a short confer- ence this mdrning the articles were signed. = After he had accepted the match for Carpentier, Deschamps said there was nothing in the articles he sig- ned to meet Gene Tunney during the week of June 16th that could prevent him from accepting any other matches before that date. While the terms were not made known, it was understood that Car- pentier was guaranteed a purse of outfit has there a golden opportunity. ---- : acquisition to the junior ranks of the city city league. A secretary with power to- look after junior matters would be a big help this season and would somewhat lighten the load which the present Secretary-treasurer has so ably carried. { Carpentier amounts for the senior team right now would + the two organizations. There are a first come L tage of the gate receipts. Curley said that he and Kame would sail as soon as possible for the United States. ---------------- Some Prophet Barring accidents, here is way the teams in the National and American Leagues should finish next October, according to one New York expert: National League, 1924. i 1923 1---~NeW YOrk.. svee cove «.621--1 2--CCinclnnati. ,,, «..591--3 3--Pittsburg. , «..565--3 niin 4--8L 10Us... we've vooe.Blb~5 6--Boston...., .. 6--Chicago ... 7--Brooklyn.... 8--Philadelphia «0 3256--8 American e. 1924 i 1923 d=eNeW Yorkee sews os o..080--1 2---Cleveland. .......... ««.536--3 3--Detroit ..539--2 4--Philadelphia ..., ... +.4564--86 B--8t.
