In addition, the commis- sion will donate all the medals re- quired to make prizes for the win- ners.

CYRIL, COAFFEE FORWARDS ENTRY BLANK FOR TRIALS Hamilton, June §.--The original entry for the Canadian Olympic tri- als to be held here on June 30 and July 2, was received here to- day, it coming from Cyril Coaflee, Canadian sprint champion, who is a resident of Chicago. Coaffee will represent. his old club, the Winni- nez North End, and has determin- ed to be the first Canadian to rep- resent his country for three sue- cessive times at the Olympic games, Coaffee was a membre of the Ca- nadian Olympic teams of 1920 and 1924, HA wil] arrive in this eity on June 12 and will at once go into training. Gordon Dodds, a Canadian, wow attending university ' in Seattle, has wired announcing his intention of coming here at once to top orf his training, He hears a splendid reputation as a half-miler with real ability in the quarter, CARDIALS SIGN LINDQUIST | June 6,--Hugo of the Illinois and basketball Bloomington, Ill, lindquist, captain Wesleyan baseball | teams, has been signed by the St. | Lopis Cardinals. Lindquist, who led his team in hitting for three years, will teport to the Cardinals at the completion of his school work, June > McTIGUE ONCE MORE New York, N.Y. June 6.--~Armand Immanuel, ballyhoed throughout fis- | ticana as 'a coming champion, will receive his. first eastern test tomor- row night ia Madison Square Garden at the hands of Michael McTigue, veteran Irish 'light heavyweight. The hout is scheduled for ten rounds, INDIANS FARM PITCHER Cleveland, June 6.--~The Cleveland Indians have released pitcher Walter Brown to New Orleans Club on op- tion. Brown came up from the Peli- cans last scasop. He is in need of regular work which he could not get with the Indians, Manager Peckin- paugh said. SPOR] SNAPSHO1S The postponement of yesterday's tilt with Kingston was un- fortunate just when the local diamond stars were set to hand Joe Daly's men auother beating. However when Jupe Plupe says mo, thea no it is! If postponemeunts keep cropping up, the schedule-composers 'have an umenviable job ahead of them attempting to please the teams affected, Three games a week will be the order if conditions continue, The G. M. C. team has to be careful in order not to con- flict with the Lacrosse dates. J The Peterboro at Belleville game was also postponed, incle- ment weather being general around the province. wa travel to Peterboro this Saturday to engage the "Petes" who have only succeeded in winning one game in three starts. General Motors took the opening game against the Lock City players 6-4 and are. quite confident they can duplicate the victory. Let's hope they can! The champion Weston team will be here this Saturday to cross sticks with the Senior Lacrosse entry and the colorful Hum- ber River players should draw the largest crowd of the season. Bob Steph "Red" Sp rand "Toots" White will be in a strange position playing against their 'old teammates for the first time, There is some doubt about the talented "Toots" being ready to start. The infection in his hands is still troubling him and he is resting in the hospital at present but with any luck he may be out in time 'to play. White was keenly disappointed in being unable to make the trip to St. Catharines but feels that if he is in shape for the tilt with his old teammates he will have an excess of energy saved up for the battle. White scored two goals in the overtime game with Torontos and follows "Chuck" Davidson who has registered three, for the scoring honors, Kelley Degray, Jack Walsh and Bob Stephenson are the other marksmen, After Weston has been and gone we hope to be able to name a few more. Norm Irwin may be in uniform for the game according to reports. Irwin starred with the Intermediates last year and would strengthen the team. Weston is in 2nd place in the league standing, looking up to St. Simons, The 4-3 defeat they suffered from Torontos last Sat- urday has helped the League along, The locals have a win to their credit over Torontos and should be able to come out on top against the Westonites. Now that the Derby is ever for another year, certain people will have to work that much harder and others not at all. Holding the winning ticket in the sweepstakes must be hard to take! Cobb's drop below the ,300 mark just lasted for a day. Yester- day Tyrus slapped out three singles and passed Frankie Frisch, the Fordham flash, who also got three singles but was one more time at bat, Cobb's average is now .314, "And the old man smiled again!" Kingston and Peterboro papers are waxing hot and furious during an argument about a scheduled C.0.B.L. game that was booked for June 1 at Kingston. The "Petes' failed to show up and now the scribe on the Whig-Standard says they should be thrown out of the league hag and baggage, if any. The revised schedule was the cause of the disagreement, The Peterboro's alibi is that the players would have lost a half day's work, Kingston replies that the Limestone players lost a whele day hy going to Oshawa, yesterday, but Jupe Plupe stepped in and made that a prevarica- tion, On May 25 when the locals went to Kingston and had to stay over a day, the players lost a day the silverware in this direction, and a half of work, Which sends The crack 'business before pleasure" can't be used in this case, for the simple reason that travelling to Kingston is po pleasure, Joe Wright, Jr., and Jack Guest leave tonight to embark for England to compete in the Diamond Sculls and then the Olympic events at Holland. Canada's reputation for rowing supremacy is in safe hands, Wright is undoubtedly the greatest sculler in the world, by reason of his various conquests and is not likely to meet the misfortune that prevented him from winning the Diamond Seulls on the Thames last year. Guest is not far behind in ability and the two should romp home in front in the doubles event. SANDE MAY GO ABROAD New York, June 6.--Earl Sande, long considered one of the greatesi of American jockeys, will be ready to retire when the 1928 season has clos- ed, The task of taking off weight has become a danger to his health, Sande believes. He plans to finish his en- gagements for this season and then quit the game. There is a possibility, however, that the great jockey will go to France to ride for Joseph E. Widener, who maintains a stable there. Sande is now under contract to Widener and the fact that jockeys ride at high weights in Europe may influence him to make his retirement effective only so far as it concerns American tracks. Sande himself, however, is not exactly sure of just what he will do. COBB PASSES FRISCH Tyrus Raymond Cobh, who be- gan to hit in earnest as soon as his batting. average sagged below .300 for a day, again was the lead. ing 1ight in the Big Sig yesterday. * With three players idle, Cobb and Frisch divided six safeties ov- enly between them, while Ruth was going hitless in Cleveland. The Philadelphia veteran, how- ever, was charged with only four times at bat against six for Frisch, and this enabled him to catch and pass the Fordham flash in the cur- rent race for fourth place.

The Athletics outhit the Browus, §.to 7, but were not able to score until the eighth inning, when Cobb got his third single of the game to drive in.a run. : Their second run came in the same inning when, with the bases filled, Blue fumbled a roller. ---- ALEXANDER KNOCKED OUT New York, June 6.--The Car- dinals waged a strong uphill battle '| here today to defeat the Giants by 11 to 6 in the opening game of their series. St. Louis got 17 hits. The Giants knocked out the veteran Grover Cleveland Alexan- der with five runs in two innings, but made only three hits off his successor, Clarence Mitchell, the southpaw spitballer, recently sign- ed as a free agent following his release by the Phillies. Vic Aldridge held the Cdrds well in hand until the seventh, when he was knocked out in the midst of a six-run rally, Holm tripled with two on against Jim Faulkner, who succeeded Aldridge. Chaplin also was uncertain in the box, LONG BRANCH OPENS TODAY Today the racing scene shifts to Long Branch, where the Associa- tion stages a seven-day session. As is usual the majority. of the New York divisions returned to the major circuit after the close of the popular Therncliffe meet- ing and the usual section which follows the C..RA. folded their tents and shipped to Ottawa, How- ever, there is still enough and more capable stock for the Long Branch, get-together and as in former years interesting racing is predicted. A trio o finnovations will be in- troducerl in the new mile. chute, the Cassidy stall gate and the amplifiers through which Tommy an experienced chartmaker, will call the running positions at various stages during the races, The opening day feature .is the Long Branch Handicap, for threo- year-olds and up, over the seven- furlong route. A fair calibre of two-year-olds will contest the Galt Purse while Canadian-bhreds of the lesser ordep will eclagh in the sozond number, The third heat is a mile test under the claiming clause and the fourth brings out .a capable band of sprinters. The last two races are fashioned for ordinary routers and call for the mile distance in the sixth and a mile and seventy yards in the finale. The track i son the slow side hut yesterday's rain should place it in excellent condition providing that. heavy showers do not fall before race time. , pT ------ THERE'S NO SUCH THING There is no such thing as marry ing in haste and repenting at lei- sure.

CHEESECLOTH AND STRING St. Thomas, June 6.--Following the action taken by the Middlesex County Council Tuesday, the mem- bers of the Elgin County Council this evening unanimously passed a resolution authorizing the pur- chase of an official robe and chain to be worn by the Warden at all meetings .The majority of the members appeared to take the action in a spirit of levity, and It is doubtful if the instructions will be carried out, although County Clerk K. W. McKay announced that he would have a robe and chain of some sort in readiness for the opening session Thursday. THE 80-CALLED WEAKER SEX (From the New York Herald Tribune) In a day of jazz and bobbed hair, there are a number of sol- emn-faced gentlemen who hark sadly back to the pioneer days when "woman's place was in the home," and when it was uhlady- like for her to go forth into the business world to support herself or her children. There are few places in the U.S.A, where the pioneer days still linger, but Bri- tish America, far richer in open spaces is stil lpartly early Vietor- fan, so far as the luxuries of cive lization are concerned. And It was from Saskatoon, Satkatche- wan, one of the outposts of Cana- dian: civilization, that Mrs. Peter Storm drove a motorcycle twen- ty-five hundred miles to Toronto to answer a call of distress from her son. Twentyfive hundred miles, is, or seems, a little farther jn British America than any- where else on this continent, Her ride war a long and lonely one, over de«glate stretches of prairie and through still more deselate regions of scrub pine. She must have ridden hundreds of mil2g on end without meeting a human being. Yet she did only what many a picneer woman has done hefore her except that her mother or grendmether world have gena horseback instead of on a motor- eyele. If woman's place were in the home in our neighbor to the north, and if it had been in the home in this country in the days of '49, the present generation would have had a far less valuable heritage of health and will power, AT THE 19TH HOLE (Youngstown Telegram) "Why is this left-hand padded fn the palm?" glove Iv.'

Objection was taken to the pay+ ment of such expenses for the rea son that Miss Dawson had under- taken this work on her own re sponsibility. The board, however, requested Miss Dawson to furnish an itemized statement to be pres sented at a later meeting. -e "\J HELEN WILLS WINS FIRST TOURNAMENT FOR 1928 SEASON Auteuil, Irance, June 4.--Helen Wills today won her first big tournament of 1928, defeating Eileen Bennett of England, 6--1, 5--2 in the final for the Interms- tional Hard Courts Tenis Chame pionship, - ala BOSTON HOUSE RECOMMENDS IMPEACHMENT OF ATTORNEY Boston, June 5.--By a roll-call vote of 196 to 18, the State House of Re= presentatives today adopted a resolu= tion recommending that Attorney General Arthur K.
