[ LATEST ATISFACTION IN GIRLS' LEAGUE = WAY THINGS HAVE BEEN HANDLED Treasures Will Not Play in Another League Series Until Pres- Are Removed--Manager of Treasures Team Criticizes Actions and Wants Three of Officials Duri the Season Men nted to Conduct League Affairs. ble has been looming up in les Softball League for some past and unfortunately; instead ng, it has grown worse. It been brought to light that all [mot been harmony im the girls' and there seems to be a bit ling between the Treasures and jupremes that should not be. few days ago it was stated that Treasures refused to play an ex- on gama with the Supremes and furthermore, would not consent to play in a second schedule for the re- "mainder of the season. No definite yeason could be given by the inform- ant except that the Treasures per haps would not play unless they had & trophy to play for, or else, they that they were lucky to pull Ahr and would mot take any more chances on their reputation. _ This all sounded rather one-sided 'but later on the manager of the Tremsures was spoken to and a rath- different angle on the question pointed out. Mr. Jack O'Neil, of the Treasures Jeiared 'that team was not afrald o e is 4 or any othet girls' team n the city. He stated that the Treas- ures bad beaten the Supremes three times out of four end thought that that should settle the matter. The -- that Treasures would not take chance In the second schedule pro- : Boo was ridiculed by Mr. O'Niel. The question of a trophy did not . bother the Treasures, either, he said, »nd that was not why they did not feel like playing in another league Well what's the reason asures ih' play in another series?!' he was . The manager of the Treas- "ures did not at first just like to come 'out and say the reason but finally did and this was the reason he , He said that the Treasures had to fight their way through series to get what they did and sald he would rather quit alto- gether than go through the same "thing agein. Mr. O'Niel declared emphatically that matters had been from harmonious in the girls' ------. Wants New Officers. Treasures' manager stated t when three men, independent of clubs in the League were ap- ted to conduct the affairs of the for another series, his team Id be quite willing to go on and ¥ league games, allowing three apiece to the other two teams, 8 Supremes and the Wonder Y's. 'said his team would not go in under the present officers. He d that although there was a re- tative from his own Club on board of officers he wanted all re- and go on with the League by three independent men to he: ¢ Treasurers' manager strongly © eriticized the way the selection of umpires was made. He sald he did know who the umpires for the il game between the Supremes the Treasures were to be until he reached the Cricket Field on the evening of the game. He said he should have been notified tweénty- four hours before the game. When he arrived at the Cricked Field on that particular occasion, he found that Messrs. Baker, of Gananoque, and "Lis Walker, of Kingston. had been selected to umpire the game. He declared that "Lis" Walker had coached the Supremes the Saturday before the game and he did not think it was right for him to umpire in a game of this kind. Mr.. O'Niel did not accuse anyone of dolng anything underhand in the League or in the umpiring. He did not say that because "Liz" Walker had coached the Supremes and later umpiréd in the final game that he favored the Supremes but hé did say that ft did not look right. He de- clared that as soon as three inde- pendent men were selected to run the affairs of the League, then the Treasures would consider playing an- other league series. uation It ts too bad that any trouble should come to the Girls' Softball League, particularly when the crowds were turning out and there Was apparently such success in the League. It is certain that the presi- dent, Mrs. Wilson has worked hard for the League and it is true that Mr. O'Niel has contributed much to- wards its success as well. Other officers have no doubt done every- thing possible to put the Girls' Lea- gue over big and it is too bad that there should be any quibbling now. Perhaps a meeting could be called and the whole matter straightened away satisfactorily to all. At such a meeting, those who have any com- plaints to make should make them and such faults as are in the League corrected. It would be regrettable to have the League end up in a spirit such as has been shown in the past few days and it is sincerely hoped that some und@rstanding will be ar- rived at, which will be heartily ap- proved of by all concerned. Mrs, Wilson Resigns. It has been later learned from Mrs. 'Wilson, formay president of the League that she has resigned. Mrs. Wilson, in a phone message about another matter, incidentally men- tioned the League affair and stated that now that the League was over she did not wish to have anything more to do with it as president, but was of the opinion that men should be the officers of the League and should run it. She declared that she intends to stick to the Supremes and will con- fine her interests fo that club. She regretted the spirit that had arisen and expressed herself as ready to quit the League presidency and let a selected group of men take office and conduct the League affairs if a second series is to be undertaken. Now the question is, who will form the officers of the League for the proposed second series? and consequently no game was play- ed. And He's Too OM. Ty Cobb broke four records at Navin fleld recently and equalled an- other one. It was the 2,785 game of Cobb's career. That equaled Honus Wag- ner's record, He, too, played in 2.- 785 games. Cobb twice set new records for stolen bases in the first inning, when | He stole second base and later on made a clean steal of home. He walked in the first and again in the third, establishing a new mark each time. * + i He set another record by scoring a run in the first innlhg. ~ THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG BiG CROWD TO SEE THE GAME The Move to Fair Grounds by Kingston Club Proves Popular, The decision of the Kingston sen- fors to move from the Stadium to the Fair Grounds for the next. game has aroused unbounded interest all over the city. Fans who have not turned out to see a senior game this season at thé Stadium will be at the game Wednesday night 'at the Fair Grounds providing the weather is good, of course. It is surprising to notice the number of people 'who have remarked favorably on the change and it looks as though the fdea to disband the Kingston Club for lack of finances will not be en- tertalned very long by President Steacy and his executive. The removal to the Fair Grounds has awakened a new interest. There will be no short home runs there and the fans will see real drives and real flelding. The Stadium was not built for baseball and the short right and part centre fields where only half- decent hits went for homers, failed to thrill the spectators. The one big advantage at thd Stadium was the seating accommodation. However one cannot have everything. People attend ball games to see baseball, not to sit down and rest. The field is being put in the best shape possible for Wednesday's game and the fans will see a good field when they go up to see the Peterboro and Kingston teams in action. The field has been allowed to 80 uncared for but workmen will have the infleld and outfield in great shape by game time Wednesday. Now all that re- 'mains is for good baseball to be played. There sheuld be no worries along these lines, The Peterboro team, coming here for the first time since they defeated Kingston 2-0 on the Dominion Day holiday, will try their level best to repeat. If it is a warm day, Al Heckman will pitch and when he is going right, there is no better hurler in the Central Ontario League. He is the one man in the Central Ontario League that the local batters fear more than anyone else. Heckman will make a special effort to make: the trip this wepk with the team, seeing that the Petes stand a good chance of catching up and it would not be surprising if "SBwanny" Swanston appeared behind the plate, although Collins, who has been doing the catching for the Pet- erboro team, has been doing great work. Wednesday's game will be a real hard-fought affair. The game on Dominion Day showed how much the Petes have. improved. It would not be surprising to see them give the locals a very hard run on Wednes- doy. The umpires for this game will possibly be Twigg and Nicholson. George Sullivan will be unable to be on hand Wednesday and his place may be. taken by Twigg. JUNIORS PLAY ON TUESDAY * This Game for First Half Title Will Draw Record Junior Crowd. On Tuesday evening the junior lepms, the Circle Six and Vietorias will meet to decide the champion- ship of the first half of the series in the junior schedule and that there will be the biggest crowd of the sea- son on hand for this game goes with- out saying. It is very doubtful if there ever was a pair of teams in Kingston that has caused the great interest and following that these two teams have. r games are as un- certain as is possible for them to oe. SPORTING SPORTING NOTES AND COMMENT | » By winning the toss for the final game of the first hal? of the series, the. Circle-Six drew the home game for Tuesday and will have the right | to choose on which side of the fleld they will park. This seems to be a very important matter between the two teams. Both teams will need all the luck they much luckier than the other. One side is considered can get to-morrow, for it looks like a mighty tight game. To hear some people talk one would think that the senior game on Wednesday would be played at the Fair Grounds in' the same shape it's in now. Assurance has been given that the field will be in Al condition. There need be no worries along that line. The seating capacity at Comiskey Park at Chicago, home of the White Sox, is to be increased from: 30,000 to 50,000. Now the next thing that is needed is for the officials to get together in the Ladies' Softball League and patch up their difficulties. There's Bo sense breaking up a good league for the sake of a few peity arguments. Two Uruguayans are walking from Montevideo to New York City. The distance is 6,000 miles. Herg's 2 hot one from the Sx Bit Critic of the Toronto Star, who says: "Mister D. Howley has always beén known as a very ardent hockey fan, but we never knew that his love for the great winter sport would go to the length of signing up Conacher and Dye for the summer so as to have them In first-class shape to play hockey for Pitf8burgh and the St. Pats next December." There are three members of the Jewish race playing major league baseball. York Giants and "Buddy" Meyer of Washington.

Great Britain's lawn tennis players on Saturday clinched their right to enter the final bracket of the European zone for the Davis Cup.. They defeated the Spanish representatives in Saturday's doubles, 11-9, 6-4, 6-2.

The second half of the Mercantile League opens on Thurs- day, with Plumbers and Printers supplying the excitement. Had they won it, Victorias would have won the first half of the series. Circle Six upset the dope and slip- ped over a tidy win to tie the whole thing all up 'again. Now comes the final game of the first half of the series. One or the other must win and it will be the big break, clear and simple. "You tell me and I'll tell you who'll win Tuesday evening," ans- wered one fan when asked whom he thought would win. That's the situ- ation all over. Nobody seems to know who is apt to win. One big break in these games generally goes: for a whole lot and the pitcher who can hang on the longest, will be able to put over a win, That's about the way they size it up. However, Tues- day's game is attracting a great deal of attention and there will be more out for this junior game, than any one this season. George Sullivan will likely be the umpire at the plate with Nicholson on the bases. Price of Tennis Racquet Depends on the Hot Dog If your tennis recquets are costing more put the blame where it belongs ---on: the increased consumption of "Hot Dogs!" To most people the idea that there was. any connection between the ten- nis recquet and the succulent sau- sage, well mustarded, would appear ridiculous; but the - comnection is very close indeed; for both the rac- guet and the "hot dog" have a com- mon origin. Both the gut used for tennis rac- quets and the skins of the delicacy which delights thousands at outdoor entertainments are made from the intestines of lambs, and when the sulphite pulp becomes more used there is no hope for a reduction in the price of racquets, Curiously enough neither of the articles mentioned has any connee- tion with either dogs or cats, so that it may well bs asked once more: "What's in a name?" Pending an answer the tennis player will wish well to the enterprise which will fa- cilitate the making of the sausage casing out of pulp, Because few ten- nis players indulge in hot dogs, but they have a very lively interest in keeping "cat" gut as cheap as pos- sible; and if the doing of that com- pels the Sheiks and Shebas of amuse- ment parks to consume pulp, well, they should worry! . 4 i Monday, July 12, 1926.
