The local seniors beat the Jakies hands down in Peter- boro on Baturday and it "should be Iplesauce'"for them at home. If lose then it will be mighty funny. "However, Solomon is the "Shag" Sbaughnessy of the C.0.B.L. and has more tricks than a fox: farm, but Knotty Lee has seen a thingor two himself and since Joe Daley's little escapade at Peterboro that gentle- man will be camped right on the trail of the dark-complexioned, acro- baltic manager from the Electric City 2nd any false moves may have dire results, .

With Wolfe Island and Tamworth playing off, Brockville and Spencerville and Picton and Point Anne--all within short range of Kingston--Wylie, eastern O.B.A.A. representative, was all for having \| Hussars go to Ottawa to meet their intermediates. "A letter to that effect was received on Monday. However, President James Kane of the local city league did not like the color of the air in the Ottawa dis- trict and wired back a prompt re- fusal to accept such an arrangement with other leagues much closer, and also have a heart-to-heart talk with Mr. Wylie by telephone. As a result there may be some further word to- day on the matter, The solemn Mr. Solomon, busy with his seniors, evidently has little time to give to the juniors and it is now said that Circle-8ix will not be in action till September. Last year Mr. Solomon, in his cute lii'le way, worked in three or four new divisions in baseball, did a little stunt or two with the junior section and annexed three or four titles for his town by so doing.

The day previous in & game at Cleveland he had put two over the right field wall, bringing his sea- son's total to 38. He missed a third homer in the same game by a matter of inches. "Pretty hard to say, but I am going to keep on swinging and there is always a chance to make a homer when you have your cuts at the ball," replied the Babe. "There is nothing new in statement, you always take healthy swing. "I am interviewing you, Babe, and want to know how many home runs you are going to make." "Well, you can tell the world that I will make at least 50," an- swered Ruth. May Break Record. "Then you think you have =a to breck your record of 59 home runs made in 1922?" I vent- ured.
