Louisville, Ky., Aug. 23.â€"For one dramatic moment last night immortalâ€" ity beckoned 24â€"wearâ€"old Marvin Breuâ€" er, right hand pitcher of the Aferican Association Kansas City Blues. Breuer, two years removed from the semiâ€"pro sandlots, and a New York Yankee chattel, went in to the ninth inning with a perfect game behind him, 24 Louisville Colnnels up, 24 down, with three batsmen barring his way into the thron> room. With inestimable pressure on his every down swing off the mound, the »estands tensely silent, he retired the 25th batter on a pop fly to the outfield, the 26th on a slow bounder to short. He stood then where few pitchers had stood before, one out removed from a perfect. noâ€"hit game. â€"Heavyâ€"hitting Chet Morgan of the Colonels, and Breuer stepped to the rubber. The stands and fieild became tensely "Oh, that," Tamango explained, after consultin‘y the opera‘s score, "I‘s just that I hit a high Bâ€"flat, got a tickle in my throat and walked to the back of the stage to spit." When Giovanni Martinelli was singâ€" ing Othello, the stage directions called for him to walk to the rear of the stage during a short rest in his solo, turn his back to the audience for a few seconds, and then return to finish the number, relates Leonard Lyons in his Broadway Gossip Column. He questioned this odd interlude, but was told that this was traditionalâ€"ever since the role was originated years ago by Tamago, a famous tenor who hd retired to Itaiy. When Martinelli next visited Italy, he found Tamango, and asked him about this tradition for which he was reâ€" Brever setâ€" down the next man. But it was a sorry antiâ€"climax. Sceratch still Connie Smythe, Leaf Manager, wrote to say that it was quite likely that the professional hockey outfit would be able to fill an engagement here. Plan is to have two Leaf teams, the Blues and the Whites, meet. The Leafs should be in good form about the time they play here. They will be abcout in the middle of their training season. The McIntyre Arena will receive its first profiessional hockey players on that occasion. A letter received yesterday by Robert Crosby, Athletic Director of the Mcâ€" Intyre, indicated the Toronto Map!e Leats would play in Timmins during the last week in Octobesr. Connie Smythe, .

The C.AH.A. repeated its warning to players commuting to Scotland for the coming season that they must have sanction of the British Ice Hockey Asâ€" sociation and the CAH.A. or face susâ€" pension by beoth organizations and by the Amateur hwkey Association of the United States and the National Hockey League. "After all, the CA.H.A. shouldn‘t be the measuringâ€"stick in an affair like this," said one. "I think it‘s a matter of the entire country‘s attitude."

The event has been held in Detroit for years. At the request of Mr. McGinnis a maotion was passed, to be in effect next year, that the league secretary is to notify all teams in the T.BL. of the full list of players on each team as soon as possible after the deadline of May 81. "This," observed the Holâ€" linger representative, "will enable rival managers to see what new players and studentâ€"players the other teams have signed. |\ Kirkland Lake, Aug. 23.â€"Due to certain complications which have com> | up in the North@rn Section of~ ths \ Temiskaming BRacball League over th amateur rating cf several T.mmin: | players, it was agreed at an ex:cutlive imeeting that in furture years all playâ€" |£Er3 signed in the ‘T.BL. must have | amateur cards issued by the Amateu: Athlstic Union cf Canada. In a heated meetire, which lasted until m‘dnight, the delegates from the Northern and Southern groups argueid tm> eligibility of the seven Timmin: players, wro have since left the team and the two remaining. The moeting was called by Bill Smith of the South Porcupine club and Dan McGinnis o‘ the Hollinger club, in an effort to straighten out the situation that has existed all season. Comment finally boiled down to the absence of amateur cards, which until this year were compulsory in the T.BL but since ts affiliation with the NB.A, were not obtained. Blame was placed on the Northern Baseball Association‘s doorstep for laxity in the handling of affairs concerning the Temiskaming Baseball League, and there was outâ€" andâ€"out talk of bréaking away from the parent body ancther year if more consideration is not civen the T.B.L. In motion by Ike Solomon, seconded by Bill Brydge, the meeting voted unâ€" animously that if arrangements under the Northern Baseball Association perâ€" taining to the T.BL. are not for the good of th@> T.B.L. that the local league lwill withdraw from the N.B.A. next en .. o on l oo mm mm o oo w «on ts e on e t mc m ns e mss o e mm mm enc mm snn n ce m mm .ny on mm e year.

"Your move for callâ€" ing this meeting, and its ultimate outâ€" come are for the betterment of the lague and you must be congratulated." President Hotchkin said, congratulating Smith and McGinnis. Several times during the evening Edâ€" Copps, who appeared for the Timmins club, asked Mr. Smith to give definite proof to his statements that he had heard the majority of the Timmins players were professionals playing unâ€" der assumed names. Mr. Smith said that he had expected to have positive proof for the meeting but could not obtain it before he left Timmins on Friday afternoon, |T.B.L.

"Ike Solomon had all the information and he said that he would turn it in at the proper time," Mr. Smith said. "Oh no!" obâ€" jected Solomon.

THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO "It held to the course beautifully and I had no difficulty holding the machine on the black line." A twoâ€"foot black line splits the 13â€" mile straightaway. The gearâ€"shifting trouble brought gloom to the Englishman‘s mechanical crew although it was confident Cobb eventuaily would smash the record. "The car handled like a train on the first run,." Cobb said. Cobb, one the first run, exceeded both Eyston‘s mile mark and his kilometre mark of 357.34 m.ph. being timed at 386 .51 miles per hour, but he failed to shatter the record when his car stalled. Cobb started the return trip amid a cloud of smok> from his twinâ€"motorâ€" ed machin2. He shifted to second gear at approximately 125 miles per hour and to high at approximately 240 but the motors stalled and the machine ccasted to a stop one mile from the start of the msasured mile. The present mark is 357.5 miles per hour, established here a year ago by Captain George E. T. Eyston.
