'Which will win the cup at Wembley to-day? Of course, the Villans will 'be strong favorites, especially as "they defeated the "Geordies" by 6 to 1 on the Villa grounds last Mon« day. tal Palace In 1905, when the Villa " won by 2 goals. It seems impossible to keep Aston Villa out of the final tie. Their eleven played in this match at Ken- nington Oval in 1887 and 1882; at the Crystal Palace "in 1895,"%897, 19065, and 1913, and at Stamford Bridge in 1920.

They wanted to "open" Wembley, but that ambition was, de- nied them. As it happens, the event bas merely been postponed for twelve months, as the Villa wish to Igelebrate their jubilee year by cap- ' |turing the trophy for the seventh "time. { Only once have the Villa been de- Ifeated in this match, and that in 1892, when West Bromwich Albion staggered humanity and set "the Throstles" in full song. This year's antagonists present a striking contrast, for while Aston Villa have lost one final in seven the . Newcastle players competed in 1905, 1906, 1908, 1910 and 1911--and won once--and that when they es- caped from the haunted plain of Sydenham avd were on such homely ground as that of Goodison Park at Everton But there is another aspect. in Which Aston Villa and Newcastle Uni present a vivid contrast. In 1904-05, 1912-13, and 1919-20 Aston Vila carried off the trophy with ~ three teams composed entirply of . Baglishmen., This year, owing to circumstances beyond human con- trol, the eleven will not be quite all English, as Dr. V. B. "Milne, the cen- tre half-back, is a native of Aber- deen.

UNUSUAL TACTICS ARE SHOWN BY CORINTHIANS Famous English Soccer Team Reported Strong. Montreal, April 25.--'*The Cor- inthians have a splendid team and will no doubt be very popular during their jour through Canada this sum- mer," stated Col. F. S. Meighen, on "his retirn from a trip to England. 'While in London a couple of weeks ago he saw the famous amateur soc- cer team defeat Chelsea, the English League First Division Club, in an ex- hibition match. "They certainly have a first cl team," he added. "as out of eiglt tilts with leading professional clubs they only lost in their game with West Bromwich Albion in the English Cup.' "There is an individuality about their play that is most interesting, as they do the most unexpected things, but were 'unusually success- ful in carrying out their unusual tac- tics. Howard Carter, the goalkeeper, was extremely unorthodox in his manner, The champion high jumper, however, had little use for his ability in jumping to save high shots as he stands over six feet. His long kick- ing was a feature--{requently send- ing the ball more than three-quar- ters of the length of the field." - "Creek, the centre forward, who has already secured international honors this season, was an extremely dangerous man. Although slight of build he had a way of squirming 'through between the opposing backs, and was a deadly shot. He account- ed for doth the goals against Chél- sea in the exhibition match." The match in question was the one at which it was first suggested to try out the proposed amendment to the off-side rule, marking lines forty yards from each goal, but the Foot- ball Association would not permit the match being played except in ac- cordance with .the present code of rules. Speaking personally on the agitation to change laws of the game, Colonel Meighen expressed the opin- "| lon that tampering with the rules Steamer Moffatt, (right), the Canadian champion motorcycle rider, climb put on by the Toronto Motorcycle Club recently in the 80 cubic inch 107-10 seconds in the 61 cubic inch open.

OSHAWA'S GRANDSTAND 10'BE READY MAY 24 Seats for 1,500 and Standing Room for 2,000--Boxes Along the Front. Oshawa, April '26.--By May 24th the official opening date for baseball in Oshawa, possibly before, the new grand stand, built by the Parks Board, at Alexandra Park, will be. ready for occupancy and will provide seating accommodation for over, 1,- 500 of the fane who will, no doubt, throng the park on the Victoria Day. The contractor, W. J. Holland, said that the stand 'would possibly handle a greater number than 1,600 and with standing room would maybe reach 2,000. The seats have not been numbered so that actual figures are not available. Situated on what might be called the side line of first base the stand provides for 18 boxes about 6 feet from the ground, one of which, it is expected, will be fitted for press pur- poses, and rising behind these are 15 tiers of seats, the first being about 7 1-2 feet from the base with a steady rise that will permit full view of all play in the inner and out field, seven aisles with entrances to the stand in front of each and from the front of the stand will provide for the rapid filling and discharge of the crowds. The structure is. to be painted a stone color and will give an improv- ed appearance to the athletic field, as well as provide a long felt want. The stand is an epoch in the his- tory of sports in the city and those responsible for the erection of this steel.stsucture are to be compliment- ed. -------- THREE AMERICAN GOLFERS TO PLAY IN BRITISH OPEN.

S00 AIMING AT TEAM IN SENIOR O.H.A. RACE. Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., April 26.-- Sault Greyhounds are going to make a mighty big bid for grouping in the O.H.A. senior series if, as expected, the Allan Cup holders are the only senior team in the North next win. ter. The locals 'believe - that they have demonstrated that they are en- titled to recognition and do not think that the O.H.A. officials will leave the team out in the cold if other northern feams are unable to oper- ate. " The objegtion has been raised in discussing the suggestion of an O. H. A. grouping for the Sault that the jump from here to Toronto is too long, but the trip is not nearly so troublesome or so expensive as that from here to Iroquois Falls. The Greyhounds could leave here at 3.20 p.m. and be in Toronto 8 a.m. the following day. On the trip to Iroquois Falls, on the other hand, the Sault team had to leave here at noon, spénd one night at North Bay, and reach Iroquois Falls at 6 p.m. the next day, a long, tiresome jour- ney. On a trip to Toronto a series of two or three games could be played against Toronto and Hamilton teams and the trip could be financed quite nicely. On the other hand, a Toronto team could leave the Queen City on Sun- day night, play two games in the Sault, and be back in Toronto on Thursday morning. '| that Wiener has improved sufficient- .
