PROSPECTS NOT SO ~ BRIGHT JUST NOW Kingston, April 7.--The pros- pects for Kingston in the Central Ontario Baseball League are not so bright. There appears to be some speculation: as to just what is going to happen, and although ne official statement has been made there is a rumor to the effect that Kingston may be without the services of three star players. : It is understood that Harry Bat- stone has been harboring the ques- tion of returning to Toronto and playing with the Granites, and that Bubs Britton is also about decided te play with a team at Cobalt. It was expected that Howard Reid could be secured to play for the local team, but he is going to To- 10 to locate, having secured a posi- tion there.

Half a -dozen managers honestly believe they have a chaimce at the pennant, which is most unusual in this or any other league. No one of the eight clubs is so weak that it does not entertain hope of getting up around the top. Skeeters' New Shortstop On the eve of the opening several of the clubs are still trying to obtain players. Jersey City needed a short- stop and has signed Johnny Mitchell, a fast man, brilliant fielder but a light sticker. : The neighboring Newark Club is after 'a catcher, and a trade is pend- ing now in which the Bears will part with one of their good outficlders for a capable backstop. The Buffalo Bisons, champions of 1927, open at Baltimore, Jack Dunn will send his great right-hander, George Earnshaw, to the mound to stop the champions in the first game. Dunn has good pitchers, but so has Buffalo. Bill Clymer will*use either Curley Ogden or Ernie Proffitt, the latter a southpaw. Buffalo looks strong and the Orioles arc better balanced than a year ago. eafs at Newark The much-heralded Newark Club will start with Toronto as its guest. The Leafs have wonderful pitching this year, as good as any in the lea- gue. Jess Doyle is Manager O'Hara's choice to pitch for the Leafs against Al Mamaux of the Bears, It is ex- pected all attendance records will be broken for opening games at New- ark tomorrow, Walter Johnson is not yet able to be about, and George McBride will handle the Bears. Fans of the circuit and many experts have made them the favorites to win the pennant, with Fournier, Johnson; McQuillan, Larmar, Lutzke and other additions to last season's team, But rival managers are conceding nothing They're out to whip the Bears. : Gilhooley's Pests Over -in Jersey City the fans will look upon: the entry they have had in years under the iaanagement of Frank Gilhe oley. He will send either Thormahlen, a southpaw, or Horne, to the mound against Rochester, another recogniz- ed contender. Billy Southworth, an- other new manager, has not let it be known who will pitch for Rochester, He has very good pitching this year Both Southworth and Gilhooley arc playing managers, and both will be in tomorrow's game. Reading entertains the" Montrc ul Club, a new entry in the John Con- way Toole circuit. Harry Hinchman savs his. Reading team 100 per cent. stronger than last years aggre- gation which finished a bad last, : Stallings at Montreal George Stallings bought the Jer- sey City Club of last year and me Vr ed it to Montreal. But he has ad ded much to it, and now has a for- midable line-up, Just the other day he secured Walter Beall {irom the Yankees, while Boh Shawkey 15 mn shape and should be a winner, } President Toole will he present at the Newark opeper, which promiscs to outdraw all other games Jor the day. MARINES IN READINESS FOR CHINESE ATTACK Tokyo, April 17.--The Japan- ese Cabinet today decided to or- der Marines landed at Tsingtao, China, because of the advance of Nationalist troops into Shantung Province. They will be available to send to Tsinan if need arises. Skeeter strongest 5 Daily Matinee 2.30 p.m. OUR GANG COMEDY "Ringling-Barnwm Ine." SPOR1 SNAPSHO1S | Today sees the official opening of the International League circuit, with the nearest "Int" team, Toronto, playing at Newark in the opener, It is likely that the veteran Al Mamaux who hurled for the Washington Senators for quite a few years and who has been the ace of the Newark staff in the past two seasons, will take the mound for the strengthened Newark outfit, and Prudhomme. is considered the most advanced any on the Leaf staff. Despite the fact that unusually optimistic re- ports are always issued, this vear for them. appears to have some justification Rochester, Newark, Reading and Buffalo look strong and Montreal will be an attraction, as the return oi this club to the league is regarded by those with the interests of the league at heart as in the nature of a tonic to the International. The death of Ovila Bourassa, Canadian jockey, has shocked the turi world. the internationally known French- Bourassa has been one of the most consistent of the Canadian riders in the past few seasons, and was one of the best liked of rack. all the riders both on and off the He was the leading rider on the Canadian circuit last year, and up té the time of his death had made a great record in the south this year.

' Another good stunt is to number all tickets to your theatre the week before the picture opens. Every ey- ening for three or four days there is a lucky number, the holder of which is entitled to see "Ham and Eggs at the Front" at youh theatre the next week and to go to a, particular res- taurant and cat ham and eggs at the expense of the mnagement. There can be a double stunt on this lucky number idea by getting the restaur- ant co-operating with you to num- bet all their checks similarly and make the awards to -their patrons too, If there is an eating place open- ing up in your town and they want to go in a little more heavily for publicity they might work out with you a ham and eggs eating contest watermelon idea.

Many other Leats Expect to Win Opener Newark, NJ, April 17.--Man- ager Bill O'Hara, Coach Fred Bur- chell and the Toronto Maple Leafs breezed into Newark today, to meet a small snow squall, The hangover of Winter threatened to pass for | warmth tomorrow, according to the weather man who predited that the Newark Bears and the Toromto Maple Leafs would have an ideal setting for the opening game of the Intdrnational League season. The Leafs found this city a seeth- ing caldron of baseball customers, who threaten to break all attend- ance records at Bears Park, recon- structed since the days of Charles A. Davids by Paul Block, publisher, who has spent a considerable amount of money in bringing form- er major league stars to represent Newark in professional baseball. Among the former big show fel- lows Toronto will face tomorrow are, Jacques Fournier, French Canadian, who will play first base; Walter Lutzke, obtained from Cleveland to play third, and Bill Lamar, heavy hitting outfielder, who was with Connie Mack's Ath- letics and Washington, and who never in his minor league career hit below .300, : Al Mamaux has been detailed to pitch the opening game for the Bruins, He will probably be op- posed by Dayle or Prudhomme of the Leafs, and elaborate prepara- tions have been made for the pre- liminaries, Thomas L. Raymond, Mayor of Newark, will throw the first ball, and he will be the guest of Paul Block, as will the charac- teristic Mayor of New York City, James J. Walker. Manager O'Hara tonight express- ed confidence in his team being ahle to get the jump on the Beara. At that the Leafs always have been a stumbling block to Newark hopes, The 1928 edition of the Bears has not heen going so well, which might help the Leafs in gaining the edge expected by O'Hara. With an emergency hospital at Wash- ington, and three mainstay twirlers suffering from. sore arms, the Bruins will be handicapped in their start for the International League bunting.
