Conover stated "In handing you this cup 1 feel that, knowing the work you have been doing in the past, the hope is justified that it will*remain with the Ontario Regiment for many years." Miniature replicas of the trophy . were also presented to each indi- * vidual member of the Signalling Sce- I+ tion, twenty-one in number, the pre- " sentation being accompanied by warm words of congratulation. The trophy itsclf, awarded annu- ally by the Canadian Infantry As- sociation, bears the inscription "In- fantry Association, Military District No. 2 Challenge Trophy, Signalling," and three of the shields on the base of the trophy have now been in- scribed with the names of the win- ners, the Toronto Regiment hold- ing this honour in 1928 and 1929. The individual cups will also be suitably inscribed with the names of the members of the Signalling Sec» tion.

TWENTY GRAND WINS KENTUCKY DERBY Churchill Downs, Louisville, Ky., May 18.--The roaring ac- claim that belongs to a super- thoroughbred echoed down the stretch of historic' Churchill Downs Saturday as the magnifi- cent bay colt, Twenty Grand, bounded in giant strides to rec- ord-shattering victory in the fif- ty-seventh running of the Ken- tucky Derby. Belring his name, Twenty Grand looked like the proverbial million as the big son of St. Ger- mans-Bonus, carrying the Green- tree colors of Mrs, Payne Whit- ney, wealthy New York sports woman, galloped down the stretch to decisive victory over Sweep All, the West's surprise contender, and the Reavily backd Mate, Preakness wiluer, Twenty Grand, the favorite in a field of twelve contenders, came with a smashing burst of speed to beat Sweep All by four good lengths, going away, and shattered the Derby as well as the course record for the route of one 'mile and a quarter, A'S WIN NINTH | Cleveland, May 18.--The Phil- | adelphia Athletics won their ninth straight game yesterday by slaughtering three Cleveland | pitchers for 18 hits and a 15 to 10 | vietory. It was their third straight | over Cleveland, which has dropped nine in a row. Three Athletics hit home runs | with two on base, Simmons in the first, Foxx in the sixth and Cock- | rane in the ninth inning. Wesley | Ferrell, trying for his sixth vie- | tory of the season, was walloped for 12 hits and retired after Foxx's home run in the sixth. The Indians tied the score at 10 all in the seventh Jablonowski was charged with the defeat. Earnshaw lasted less than five teams--Lord Hawke's in America in 1891 and in South Africa in 1895 and 1896, Arthur Priestley's in the West Indies in 1897, and the Jam Sahib of Nawanager's in America in 1899. One extraordinary record stands to his credit. In a match be- tween Brighton and Dulwich it is said that he hit the wicket eight times in an over--three no balls which all hit the stumps, two balls which hit the wicket but did not remove the bails and three which bowled batsmen. Though so goed an all-round cri- cketer and so efficient a captain, it is on his bowling that his fame will chiefly rest. He had a deadly yor- ker, and a slow ball which was as formidable and deceiving as any, and his place among fast bowlers of all times is secure. As a batsman he was primarily a hitter, but not a wild slogger; he hit largely with a straight bat, and in his later years was not by any means an easy wicket to get. He 'played Rugby football for Cambridge in 1888, 1889, and 1890, and gained his interna- tional cap for England. He played against Scotland in 1890-92 and 1895, and against Ireland and Wales in 1890-93 and 1895. He was cap- tain of England in 1892-93, In the War he served in The Somerset Light Infantry and in The Devonshire' Regiment, On one oc- casion when he was in a transport at the Dardanelles the weather was so hot that even the Hindu stokers | were overcome. Woods called for | volunteers, and with seven men des- cended into the stokehold. He trimmed the coal like an expert for six hours, and outlasted all the rest. This was characteristic of his cour- age; when in Australia he had saved two lives from shark-infested wa- ters. Among other games than cricket and football, he did not de- spise golf and lawn tennis, and he was always fond of shooting.

They appreci- afed to the full this player of grand physique, of grander heart, and of disposition, who was gener- | ally at his best against the strong- est and never knew when he was At cricket he made his from carly days--first and remost as a real fast bowler--and » hie did at Rugby football, where was a most redoubtable forward. Samuel Moses John Woods was ' Ashfield, near Sydney, N. V., on April 13, 1868, but prac- tically his whole game-playing ca- | reer was spent in England. He was educated at Brighton College and Jesus College, Cambridge. He was {in the School eleven in 1885 and i 1886, and he got his Blue in his first | year. While he was in residence Cambridge was never beaten, and it is not too much to say that the re- cords of the University match show very few if any cricketers who have done more for their side. The 1891 match furnished a very | exciting finish. Cambridge led by 102 on the first irinings ; Oxford, go- ing in again, got 191, leaving Cam- bridge 90 to get. Woods came in tenth and a run was still wanted. Woods promtply hit the first ball he received for four and the match was won, In this game his share of wickets was seven for 60 and four for 72. In his four matches he took altogether 36 wickets for 318 runs in seven innings--an average of over five wickets an innings at an aver- age cost of 88, quite exceptional figures. . Needless to say, he owed much to his wonderful wicket-keep- er, Gregor MacGregor, and their combination was almost invincible. In 1890, playing for Cambridge Uni- versity against Mr, C, I. Thornton's XI, he took all 10 wickets in an inn- ings, Woods began playing for Somer- set in 1886. He became captain and hon. secretary in 1894, and "secre- tary in 1899.

"I have no fault to find with physical training, or with cadet training for that matter even though some of my brothers in the ministry see in cadet drill, a menace of militarism. Athletics and sports are splendid in de- veloping good hodies. And re- member that your bodies are the temples of the living God." But while urging all young men to keep themselves physiofl- ly strong and fit, Mr. Harston was equally insistent in pointing out that physical strength was the lowest form of strength, It was the strength of the lower animals and they possessed it in much greater degree than any man, "Do not neglect to attain cul- ture of the mind." he stated. "I greatly deplore it When young men devote all their attention to athletics and fail to improve their minds." The glory of a young man was also in his social influence, Rev, Mr. Harston claimed, His speech, and his conduct were an ence to those of his own age, Let him be careful that he exerted a good and helpful influence.
