It 1s the wish of the executive that the league games get underway as soon as possible so that a winner in each group will be decided before the fall arrives.

By AL DEMAREE (Former Pitcher, N.X. Giants) Sammy Bohne tells a strange y of his best and worst day in baseball. His best day began by his making three errors in the first in- ning; his toughest day started out like a million dollars. "During the first series with Pitts- burgh in 1924 in Cincinnati," says Sammy, "I started off by making three 'boots' in the first inning. You can imagine the 'panning' I received until the 8th Inning, when with two on and first base open, the batter ~ ahead purposely was walked for me. I was lucky enough to come through, and singled, tying the score. In the 12th inning, the same condition arose as in the-eighth, and I came ~ through with a double, winning the game, gest kick that I can remember. "Against Chicago in the year, in a pitchers' battle between | Luque and Osborne, I had [reached third in the ninth faning by making the only hit the Reds had secured. 1 stole home, making the score 1 to 0. In the Cubs' last half of the ninth, Luque walked the first man. The second man fifed out, and the next hitter hit sharply to me. In a hurry _ to make a double play, I made a wild heave to first and runner and hitter both scored. We lost 2 to 1. I was #0 sore I had to ask the groundkeep- ~ er how to get'out of the park." Money will purchase devotion, but only of a questionable quality. al v The last hit gave me the big- BASEBALL RECORDS. Following is the standing in the leagues up until Monday, April 20th.

Name sieleleloln: (elels ele olen Address * ale EONS) Kingston, in the extreme eastern end of the circuit, has Collings nine times, Woodley nine, Allan three and Dell three. The league's umpire tariff calls for each umpire to receive seven dollars per game, plus fifteen cents per mile railway mileage one way, to be paid by the home team. Taking the total mileage of all teams, which will reach nearly six thousand miles, the money to be paid umpires for travel- ing will be in the neighborhood of $900. The eastern and western éX- tremities of the league will have an advantage over the other two teams on account of location. Oshawa's total mileage is 916; Kingston's 1,- 596; Peterboro's 1,666, and Belle- ville's 1,930, With the mileage and umpire's fees, the arbitrators in the league will collect nearly $1,600 dur- ing the coming season. Kingston now has a "dark horse" in the line of a new right-hand pitcher. He is supposed to be one that the Kingston fans have seen be- fore, and is a pitcher of no mean repute. It has the fans guessing any- way, : Two of Kingston's leading ball players have now turned professional. 'Lex Rice is the latest addition to Knotty Lee's backstops.

Queen's are out for the fourth con- secutive Dominion championship, and it will take a great team to de- feat their squad.
