Teams are now heing lined up and it is quite possible that a seven or eight team loop will operate. Schedules will be drawn up this week and it is expected bowling will commence next week. Teams are limited to seven players and captains of .the various teams are asked to for- ward the personnel of their teams to the league secretary not later than Thursday of this week. : The following officers were elected: President, Mary Hambly; Secretary, Dcrothy Moffatt, Oshawa Daily Times Office, Simcoe street; Treasurer, Mrs. 1. McKenna. The most impo:tant change in the constitution and policy of the league was the abolishing of the handicap system which was in vogue last year. The entry fee will be 25 cents per player and there will be prizes for the weekly and season high average, etc. A change was also made in the bowl- ing night and this year the players will knock the pins on Monday even- ings instead of Wednesday. Players developed the bad habit: last year of strolling into the alleys long after their games were scheduled to start and this year all the players will be on the alleys sharp at seven o'clock or default the game, The following team are likely to compose this year's league: Phillips, Ontario Malleable, Pirates, Dumbells, Sparks, Fittings, Caranomes, White sn and the Bell Telephone Blue oh The Whirlwinds, captained by et Copeland, will appear under a AW hae this season, BOXING ASSOCIATION TO DECIDE ACTION OVER BOXERS TODAY (Ny Associated Press) Toledo, Oct, 18.--Disposition of the cases of Sammy Mandell and Ti- ger Flowers remained to be settled today as the National Boxing As- sociation went into the final session.

"THE MISSING LINK AT THE REGENT In the "Missing Link" Syd Chaplin has a vehicle which suits him admir- ably. There is plenty of running in it, and that is one form of amusement that Syd is particularly good at, as those who saw him in "Charley's Aunt" will well remember. In this case, however, instead of everlastingly running away from harmless females, he is continually being chased by lions, tigers, monkeys and huge and horrible "Missing Links." Most of the scene is laid in Dark- est Africa, where Syd, who is desper- ately afraid of animals, is forced to impersonate Lord Dryden, a mighty hunter with a reputation of being a- fraid of nothing. It does not require much -in the way of imagination to seq the possibilities of such a plot. Syd has a very busy time keeping out of | the way of the lions, which seem in- tent on having him for lunch, and when he unexpectedly comes across the awful "Missing Link" making a- way with his sweetheart, he has a ter- rific internal struggle between love and his almost overwhelming impulse to run away. However, love triumphs, of course, and with the help of Akka and some fudge, he finally captures the "Link." Akka, by the way, is a whole show in himself. He is probably the most "human" monkey in captivity; in fact we have seen many a movie actor who showed less intelligence in playing his part than does Akka. In the comedy "Meet the Folks," Jimmie Adams meets far more folks than he has any use for. He gets mix- ed up in deadly southern feud, where the principal amusement of the neigh- bouring families is to hold mutual sniping parties. Jimmie escapes from getting massacred in a dozen different ways, but finally managed to collect a sweetheart from the rival faction, and everything ends happily. The whole show at the Regent is exceptionally good this week, and the management is to be congratulated on the class of entertainment which is being secured for Oshawa fans.

They defeated the St. Thomas church team of that city in the first game 'SPORT SNAPSHOTS of hockey and hockey only, in breezed Jack Jarvis, well knowns Toronto boxing manager and former champion of the squared circle. He is think- ing about starting an athletic club in Oshawa in which he can train young fellows in the art of self-defence. Should the thing go through, Jarvis plans to hold the odd good bout here and thus stimulate interest in the boxing game. . Jarvis is at present handling two of the best boxers that ever fought in the persons of Fifield, welterweight, and Newton. The Torontonian believes that with a large number of young men in the city, the club should go over big and he has every reason to believe so as there are many chaps who would gladly spend a few hours a couple times a week sparring. Jarvis will be in the city practically all this week looking into the lccal field and getting established. i Whitby Collegiate won the inter-school athletic meet at Alexandra park yesterday afternoon when they landed the Bassett Trophy for an- other year, thus winning it twice, with a total of 51 points. Oshawa Col- legiate was next in line with five points less and Bowmanville made a great spurt in later events to finish with the nice little total of 41. Credit must be given the latter school for the manner in which it turned the tide. Whitby wasn't nearly so dangerous to the Oshawa Collegiate as the Bowmanville institution. Whitby's win surcly ought to help their chances of having the athletic field in that town put into shape. We don't want to infer that we don't want the Whitby meets held here, but in all justice to the athletes and for the good of sport in that .town, the athletic park should be fixed up by the town fathers. So far this week the promoters of Oshawa's new artificial ice arena have made no announcement and indications are that the proposition is going to fall through, for this year at least. The rumor that the con- tractors don't want to start operations until next year may be quite true, but why don't the proposed builders come out and say so. The public has been under the impression for the past threc weeks that they were going to see their hockey served on an artificial platter this winter and they certainly deserve to be kept posted on the proposition. Things have gone so far now that it is doubtful if the rink could be erected by Janu- uary 1, which date was originally set by the promoters. It looks as.though the management of the hockey teams can enter negotiations for some place to go when the season starts. - Owen Sound has for the past few years been famous for a number of things. They have furniture factories galore in that city and only a few months ago they erected grain elevators. Incidentally these many industries employ a number of young men. It is rather interesting to note the latest boast in regard to their products. Here is it from the Owen Sound Sun-Times: It is rather interesting to note that thirteen former Greys will be in professional hockey this season. This number have graduated from Owen Sound junior teams in the last four years, a record that will take some beating by any city in Canada. The players and the clubs they have signed with are as follows: Ted Graham, Chicago Black Hawks; "Butch" Keeling, Toronto Leafs; "Cooney" Weiland, Minneapolis ; Bobby Burns, Chicago Black Hawks; Roy Burmister, Niagara Falls; "Potsy" Callighen, Toronto Leafs; Martin Lauder, Boston Bruins; Jack Markle, London; Hillis Paddon, London; "Torrie" Gregg, Windsor; Al Moore, London; Benny Grant, London. Mike Brophy, Collingwood boy, is the odd man but Mike has not decided where he will try out this sea- son. His success with Chicago last Winter was only mediocre, While some critics are of the opinion that the half day athletic meet between the three higher schools of learning of Oshawa, Whitby and Bow- manville, was a success over the one whole day affair, the writer begs to differ. He takes this attitude from several standpoints. The first and strongest is that the meet could not be run off in a half day. plainly evident yesterday afternoon when it took from shortly after 3.30 o'clock until near six o'clock to run off the seven track events. Last weck the meet got under way a little after 12.30 o'clock and if memory serves correct it was well after six when the meet was adjourned. It must be admitted though that if some event were eliminated, the meet would get along with a half day's time.. But what can be eliminated? Every item on the program is essential to a complete athietic meet. We have seen a larger meet than the local one run off in an afternoon starting at 1.30 o'clock and finishing around six. It was a public school one at that and there wasn't the wasting of time in between events like there was here. Fort William provides another of the many instances in which the efforts of an individual or a small group of enthusiasts to foster junior hockey are not appreciated. Charles Stenbazk, oi Fort William, has de- voted himself for some years to the development of midget teams. The answer 'is that Fort William produced one of the greatest junior sextets ever seen in Toronto when they played here last season in the national final with Owen' Sound. Stenback even provided an open-air rink for his teams, bought their uniforms, sticks and other paraphernalia, and spent his spare time as coach. Lack of patronage at midget games has prompted him to retire. The Fort William sportsman has exact counter- parts all over the country. Hockey fans unreasonably demand the finished article without giving a thought to the development of the raw material. fore the Toronto and District League Council in the Queen's City last night. Referee Mitchell and officials of the Goodyear Club were present as well as executives from the local Club. After evidence had been heard, the player was censured for his conduct in Saturday's game here. The cffence, it is understood, is one of tripping. He was caught "in the act" by the referee and put out of the game. While we admit it is not good practice to take a banished players' part especially when he is guilty of an offence contrary to the regulations of the time honored game, there is a strong feeling that Muir should not have been called to Toronto. He has been a good, clean and steady player ever since joining the locals. One visiting player "got away with" a worse offence than Muir. The Goodyear man kicked Peter Gow when the latter was on the ground. That act would have certainly called for a "carpet lecture" and would even warrant suspension. : One of the oldest organizations in the sport world is holding its annual pow-wow today at the Granite Club in Toronto. That is the On- tario Curling Association. _ A busy session is promised and representatives will be called upon to adopt, with certain necessary changes, the group- ings for the Tankard, Governor General's, District Cup and Junior com- petition which were announced tentatively several weeks ago. In addition to the foregoing the Tankard Banner will be presented to the Sarnia Club, winners last winter. Lastly will come the most vital, that of the election of officers for the ensuing year. « Some people are born famous, others achieve fame and some have Efoume thrust upon them.

If the St. Kit's team wins, it will cause a third game. In commenting on the game here Saturday the St. Catharines press says the team feels confident it can make a third game a necessity and if such is the case it will be played either in Hamilton or Oakville Saturday after- noon. It is further claimed the Saints did not get a break as they seemed to hit the "apple" directly into the hands of the Oshawa players. "Oshawa has a young and fast team who are stickers and ball chasers who are apt to break up any ball game when they get going," is just another way the visiting scribe had of saying the Oshawa boys were the best the St. Kitt's team has met this year, "They bunched their hits and needed them," comments the paper on the hitting of the locals, It must be admitted by the Chevs that the St. Thomas church team is the best it has come in contact with this year. The visitors here led 2.to 1 up until the seventh inning and then the locals got four hits, including a double. That barrage netted four runs and won the game. Chevrolets will be in the best oi condition for the return game there tomorrow. Webster, the big pitcher, has had a good rest since last Satur- day afternoon and should be in the best of trim. He had the St. Thomas boys directly under his control here and scored no less than a dozen strike- outs. The Saints were absolutely baf- fled by the shoots of the Chev. twirler. The team is leaving by motor early tomorrow morning. A number of fans are expected to make the trip and take in the battle that should result in the home boys being crowned in- termediate champs. of Ontario, JOHNSON "LEAVES POST AS HEAD OF AMERICAN LEAGUE -- cm-- : Chicago, Oct. 18--Byron Bancroft Johnson, for many years the storm centre of major league baseball, quiet- ly retired yesterday from the Presi- dency of the American League, deli- vering his resignation verbally to the Board of Directors. Frank J. Navin, Vice-President of the league and head of the Detroit club, assumed the executive authority until a meeting of club owners can be called to chouse Johnson's suc:essor. Navin said he did not know how soon that would be, and declined to com- ment on the persistent reports that Ed. S. Barnard, President of the Cleveland Club, had already been se- lected. Johnson, the founder and only Pre- sident of the league, explained the records and bank account of the lea- gue to three of the directors in: an hour's talk, gathered his collection of pictures from the walls and walked out. Tonight he left for Excelsr: Springs, Mo., for the beginning of a long rest. His plans beyond that trip were indefinite, he said, Spectacular Baseball Fighter The blank spaces on the walls, out- lined by lines of dust where his' pic- tures had hung, were the only marks left in the office by Johnson's 27 years of control, but the annals of the ma- jor leagues are full of the accounts of his battles, starting with the formation of the American League in 190(L He fought the National League un- til a truce was signed in 1903. He fought rowdyism on the diamond in the early days of his own circuit. He dominated the old National Commis- sion, gaining the title of "Czar" of baseball. He opposed the appointment of a neutral commissioner to "clean up" baseball after the "Black Sox" exposure of 1920, when Judge Kene- saw Mountain Landis was chosen off the Federal Bench. And he fought the Commissioner at every turn until club owners, onc by one, began to , desert him. : The beginning of the end came last January, when Commissioner Landis gave out the details of an investigation of "fixing" charges against Ty Cobb and Tris Speaker, managers of the Detroit and Cleveland clubs, Johnson criticized Landis severely for making the affair public, months after the details were turned over to the Commissioner. For this outburst, the club owners voted to send their President on a leave of absence "to recover his health." Navin, Clark Griffith of Washington, and Tom Shide, of Philadelphia, came to receive their President's farewell. Phil Ball, of St. Louis, the fourth dir- ector, who spent two days last week with hi: old friend Johnson, was in the East today on business. To these three, Johnson turned over his accounts, and thanked them for their regrets. He was glad to be a private citizen again, he said, and walked out of the office. smiling after 27 years at the helm. BEWARE THE COUGH OR BOLD THAT HANES ON . gi Th 8 i oh Toronto. Ont. Co., Limited, CHABOT AND GRAY LEAVE FOR NEW YORK TO JOIN RANGERS Port Arthur, Oct. 18--Lorne Cab- ot and Alex. Gray left last evening to join the New York Rangers for fall training. Albert Pridas, who has been announced as slated for the Toronto Canadian League team, has declared that he is through with pro, rockey, and will stick to his job with the C.N.R. here. The decision awarding Art. Chapman to Windsor, after he had been signed by the Néw York Rangers, was a severe blow to the player, who now would prefer tp remain in amateur ranks, and may do so if he can pro- cure an extension of his amateur card, on the ground that he has not played pro, hockey. Eric Pettinger of the Fort Will- lam team, who is also claimed by the Rangers, has announced that he will not report, but will continue with the amateurs. This will give Fort William all of last year's Allan Cup finalists to start the new sea- son, except Jimm Ward. Gordon Wilson, Port Arthhr's de- fense star, now remains the most. sought-after amateur in Canada, but he isn't biting at all, and declares that his job in Port Arthur is too good to give up.
