Borden to Toronto since his acces sion to the Premiership was the occasion {ofl a warm welcome, as was natural.in a 4 5 city which is so strongly devoted to ile cause and party as is Toronto. While My. Borden's character seems on the sur face to lack something of warmth, news- paper men know him to be one of the easier ublie' men men in Canada to inter' edecessor, Bir Wilfrid Lau en yaad, always, and still rel be quoted in an interview about anyth! a : Mr, Borden, on the other hand, rarely de- olines to be imerviewed, though, natur- ally, he does not make important an- £4 mouncements by this method. To say 'that is easy to interview not mean . _ that he is a seeker of publicity, or bis not a keen sense of dignity. Quite contrary.

LIVE WIRE IN LACROSSE. The lacrosse situation has been touched by a live wire being no less a personage than our old friend R. J. Fleming, neral Manager of af way, whose chief bbies. heretofore. have .been Jerse 'cows and Sunday school activities. Until last year "Bob" Fleming did not know A lacrosse stick from a baseball bat, Then he had the Toromlo Lacrosse Club given to him. It was literally forced on him. The owners had been losing: money. They saw. no way of getting even. Thev had been playing on the Toronto Railway Company's grounds at Scarboro Beach; and so they went to the railway's man. ager and calmly informed him that it was up to him to take the team off their hands. He went to 'see his boys play. They lost. He decided to get some new players. But he was informed that under the rules of the N. L. A. he could not engage new players at that stage of the sepson. The incident shows what a novice he was. But this year he wag not to, be fooled again, with the result that lacrosse play- ers have been making contracts at un: dreamed of prices. There never has been meh doings. Of course, the game in this mgue has been thoroughly Jr otesslon, alized. and no one plays for glory, And hitherto they have played for moderate cash considerations.
