Ne, SPORTING Only Proposition Yet Heard of ~ @& Strange One--Nothing ©OMocial 'Received. Just where the Kingston Ponies, winners of the Central Ontario Lea- Bue pennant, will go next is hard to say. No official word had been re- _ telved on the matter last night. * There were rumors that the winners 'of the Sudbury-Orillia series wou'd i Be pitted against the locais. That | sounds rather far-fetched. It Sud- {bury won out it would mean » jump Of several hundred miles. We don't know how that sounds to the north- 'ern town, but to Kingston it looks like financial wreck. Just why such a thing should be 'suggested is hard to say. Toronto 'has several leagues in operatiop and there are teams in Hamilton and through western Ontario eligible for the sénfor 0.B.A.A. finals. It looks ~ wery much like the old Toronto stuff © again, The Kingston executive officials i are saylng nothing as' they have as . Yet received no orders for the future. The 4th Hussarg may yet be called upon to play further away from home than was intended. Ottawa papers say they will meet the winners of . 'the Ottawa St. Anthony's-Carleton Place 'series; which looks ilke Carle- + don Place. Secretary Buffam had no ! official ward on this matter when last interviewed, and the junior series, Probably with Peterboro, was also still in the unknown. - SCORES CANOE CLUB FOR RIOWNA AFFAIR ~ Olub Taking Privileges of L.Y.

This is the first time (an the history of the ing a very bitter pill, and the sport has received a most unexpected and unwarranted blow. Past usage, though it may not have been the best, has been that the club under whose colors the select:d yacht sails has assumed the expense of the en- try. This has been necessary, owing to the fact that the Lake Yacht Rac- ing Association fs purely a governing body, with practically no fnances. The affairs of the association are financed through a purely nominal charge to each club, and the expenses of regattas are met by voluntary sub- scriptions from the various clubs be- longing to fit. The question of 'the wisdom of granting membership in the associa- tion to the Toronto Canoe Club, which has been referred to in various quarters, is one that is better left without comment, and we confine our remarks to the situation as we find it, and plan for the future that such a contretemps will not be repeated. Mr. W. G. Reilly, owner of Ri- owna, has in some quarters been sus- pected of applying the principles of America's national indoor game to the situation--sitting back with his club expecting that other clubs would Come to the rescue and coutribute, and, failing this, that the Canoe Club would partially contribute, and he would bear the main cost. Mr. Reilly had no such intention. He could finance the whole expense and still not feel financially embarrassed, but he holds to the principle that the precedent would be bad, and in this he Is entirely right, The position is most unfortunate and unpalatable, and the least said perhaps the better, so let us relegate it to the limbo of forgotten things. As to the future, it is to be hoped that the incoming council and dele- gates of the L.Y.R.A: will enact new provisions to apply to the George Cup contenders and the entry for the Richardson Cup. The ruling made last year, that the winner of the George Cup automatically became the nominee of the association for the Richardson race, was an unwise one. The weather conditions at some points of Lake Ontario in July, when the George Cup race is held, are totally different to those prevailing in September, say, on Lake Michigan &nd Lake Erie, when and where the big race may be held, so that both races may well call for yachts of dif- terent capabilities, A new method of selecting the = final = contender should amd can be found,.of which more will be written later, It would appear {§p be good busi- ness if those clubs. entering yachts in the George Cup race, from which the Richardson Cup selection might be made (as it is safe to assume they Will be the pick of the lake)' should be obliged to guarantee to the associ ation before entering' the race that they are prepared to carry through to the final event if 'selected. An alternative to this might be that each club entering a yacht be required to deposit $250 with the association to create a fund so that the L.Y.R.A. itself could handle and finance the fnal entry. It is either of these plans or a sub- stantial increase in the annual fees from pach club to provide funds for the association to take care of the final event, or we may again witness the spectacle of Lake Ontario yacht- ing being held up as an object of scorn and derision by sister organi. zations. ------ The circular, flaring peplem is being used effectively for street costumes.

TAMWORTH WON 0UT IN SECOND CONTEST (Special to the Whig) Tamworth, Aug. 27.--Puiling a startling reversal of form and work- ing hard all through, the local team defeated Wolfe 'Island 15-14 in the second game of the intermediate O. B.A.A. playoff series here today. It took ten innings to decide, the Is- landers having tied it up in the ninth, and it was in the tenth that Tamworth made its last desperate bld and scored the winning run. Loose playing by Steblen, at third, and LaRush, at short, for the Island- {ers in the early paft of the game ac- j counted in a great measure for the defeat. They tightened up later but too late to save the day. ' LaRush, with his record for bat- | ting to look to, clouted another t home run here today with the score [14-7 and started the rally which, in the last two or three innings, brought ; the Islanders level with their oppo- nents and almost gave them a vice | tory. Spoor | well, but the big island pitcher was [ hit much heavier by the locals than ! in the first game. Ehert and Kellar did the catching and twirling res- Ppectively for the Tamworth team. j Kellar was hit fairly hard but his | teammates gave him better support than at the Island. J. J. Solomon, of Peterboro, vice- president of the O.B.A.A., was on hand. The umpires were Benson, of Toronto, and Hartrick, of Kingston. The site of the third game had not been decided last night. Wolfe Is- land demanded Kingston and Tam- worth aiid Napanee. Jake Solomon suggested Yarker, but no person paid much attention to him, as Yar- ker is out of the question. ii a UPAR LITTLE JOE NICE "THING A BROADCASTING | He who comes unbidden goes un- thanked.

Mr. Jack Dempsey, gentleman of the fists, romantic idol of the sil- ver sheets, and contributor of deathless passages to the realm of literature, has a new beak. Perhaps it is more accurate to say Mr. Dempsey has a made-over horn, since the basic foundations of the original structure still remain. Plastic surgeons have taken the plebeian Irish nasal design which Mr. Dempsey has affected since in- fancy and worked it over into a perfectly intriguing Grecian pat- tern, Those who knew the champion in his vulgar fighting days may recall that his inhaler turned up sharply at the end, much after the manner of a Turkish house slipper.
