After reading The Tribune one can understand why it produces such men as "Big Bil" Thompgon. The Tribune in a re- cent fssue tells why it Is certain Canada is destined to become a part of the United States. Explaining the southern trend of Canadians, it goes op to say: i "Paradoxically, some thread of political sophistry keeps Canada bound to an English aristocracy that patronizes it and relegates Canadians to a class with the conquered ra- ces of India, op whom the Canadian look down. "$0 long as Canadian pol- itical theory continues to ig- pore social, geographic and economic facts, so long pill Canadians continue to cross the border into the United States." The Tribune fails to explain the counterfiow of Americans to Can- ada. The Chicago Tribune is a- bout 200 years out in its viewpoint that Empire.

The Motor City League, now that the Big Four will rate a sep- arate section, composed of General Motors teams, should be one of the most keenly contested leagues in Oshawa. The juveniles are especially deserving of support, and a special appeal is made 'for this league, as it is players from the lower classifications who must some day regale the patrons of the senior leagues. Support in the shape of something more tangible than just the moral kind, would be much appreciated by the juveniles who will be soon soliciting a few shekels to procure the necessary equipment, The General Motors Lacrosse Club are holding a stag, smoker and entertainment at the Convention Hall tonight. Boxing will be among the attractions. The baseball season with all the usual fanfare of trumpets, and hoisting of banners, if any, and if not, flags, got away to its usual flying start in the major leagues yesterday. Much of the interest cen- tred in the Polo Grounds where "Rajah" Hornsby was expected ta do things that would make McGraw weep bitter tears, but fell down badly however, getting only one scratch hit, while his successor, "Andy" Co- hen, late of Buffalo, had three resounding cracks at the ball and his double near the end of the game made it sure for the Giants. He also handled himself faultlessly in the field. Paul Waner, of the Pirates, started where he left off last year, and also banged out three bingles. Ruth scored three runs, but had only one hit, a triple. Cobb and Cuy- ler had a hit each, but grey-haired Tris Speaker went without one in his firs! game in the Philadelphia uniform, Lefty Grove failed to sub- due the in, and the star strikeout artist of the Athletics was knocked out of the box. Despite the fact that the hockey season is long past, there has not been a wind-up meeting of the Oshawa Industrial Hockey League, and several members of the executive have expressed themselves as desirous of knowing the exact status of the league, financially and otherwise. The Daily Times Trophy has been ready for some time but we have received no word as to the probable time of presentation to the winners, Simcoes.
