Karl, known to the boys as "Charley" or '"Butch", stole a 'few moments from his varied activities-- futuristic furniture designing, oil painting, banio playing and black magic--to dis- cuss baseball at his hotel yester- day. "Yes," said the big first base- man from Sacramento, "I figure the club that's got the pitchers will win out--I mean pitchers that hold up. "There doesn't seem to be any team with outstanding hitting strength, and they all seem to be playing fair ball in the field. S» it simmers down to a matter of pitching." Who did Charley think wouid cop the pennant on this basis? Charley blushed modestly and confessed that the Cubs seemed like the logical outfit to come through. In case an '"upsei' should occur forcing the Cuts out, then Pittsburg and Boston seemed the strongest contenders. "We've got a mighty good pitching staff," Grimm continued. "There's Lonnie Warneke, one of the up and coming young hurlers. Then we've got Guy Bush, Pat Malone, Charley Root and Bob Smith. With fair hitting to sup- port these boys, we should come through." The new pilot sald he wasn't too optimistic over the Pirates slump, He emphasized chat George Gibson's aggregation would continue to be a menace because of several good flingers who could be rotated success- fully: Steve Swetonic, Heinie Meine, Bill Swift, Ray Kremer, Bil} Harris and Larry French. "And the Braves strong on the mound," Charlev concluded. "They've got Betts. Brown, Zachary, Brandt and @antwell, five mighty good pitch- ers. Brooklyn would have a fina chance if the Dodgers had strong pitching, but I think they are too weak on the mound." also are Today's Program Today's Olympic events: Gymnastics 8.00 a.m.--Paralle] bars, hori- zontal bar, Indian clubs.

Cobourg Sprang Big Surprise Kingston, Aug. 9.--Cobourg sprang a surprise here last evemn- ing when they defeated Kingston in a Central Ontario League game 9 to 6. The occupantg of the cel- lar position, who have only won four games thig season, got the jump on the champions with a six-run splash in the fourth in- ning, and added their three more runs in the sixth, while Kingston, contrary to usual habits, were woefully weak with men on the bases. Kingston outhit the visitors by 14 to 9, but they had 14 left stranded on the sacks. Fourmier pitched the first three innings, and allowed only one hit and mo runs, while Smith, who went to the mound in the fourth, was found for all the Cobourg rums, The champions fought back hard, and twice had.the bases fill- ed with no one out but both times were held gcoreless. In the ninth the locals looked dangerous, when they filled the sacks, but Elliott was caught off third and while hits by Jamieson and Uarniel drove in two runs, the Cobourg team tightened up and retired the side. McQuade of Kingston and Hud- son of Cobourg were the leading hitters, each getting four safe blows.

Ts dian FRESH RECORDS ESTABLISHED London to Paris Air Traffi Has Greater Volume pt Fresh records continue to -be established by the aerial passen- ger traffic between London and Paris, the latest figures available being appreciably higher than on any previous occasion since commercial flying began 13 years ago. During May, for example, 3,372 travellers flew between the twb capitals in the. air-liners of Im- perial Afrways, this comparing with the previous record, for any | one month, of 3,304 in August, 1928. And now figures which are to hand for June stow that the monthly total has grown to 4,311, as contrasted with 2,206 during Jume last year; while the more recent weekly figures indicate that still further increases are being recorded. How the passenger traffic by air has developed on this famous London-Paris route, since the world's first daily aeroplane ser- vice was established between the two capitals fn 1919, may be {l- lustrated by a few general fig- ures. During the initial stages of this service to Paris, when the air- fare was twenty guineas as com- pared with five guineas by the de-luxe service today, the passen- ger total did not, for a time, ex- ceed 20 or 30 a week. But it was not long, however, before this figure rose to fifty amd then a hundred, while during the summer of 1927 a total of 1,000 passen- gers a week, in and out of the London air-station, was recorded for the first time, And now to- day, at periods of traffic pressure, approximately 2,000 air-borne passengers, bound either to or form our London air-port at Croydin, fly above the Channel weekly in the air-liners operating on the various routes.
