Wallis Wyers, British writer and eritic of the same, and announced in the currant issue of "American Lawn Tennis."

With the sale of tickets at Thompson's Drug Store and Mike's Place now well under way, indi- cations point to a bumper crowd at the Armouries here on Friday evening, November, 9, when 10 scrappy three round amateur box- ing bouts are being provided by the Boxing Association of the On- tario Regiment. This is the first of the monthly tournaments which the Ontario Regiment intend to put on during the winter months and despite the fact that this one constitutes the official opening of the local boxing year, all the participants are in ex- cellent condition and exceptionally well prepared for their first grill. ing of the season, Seating accommodation is being arranged for 1,000 people, half this number of seats being reserved while the remainder go on sale the nizht of the tournament in the first there first served fashion. As many as 1,250 people may be expected to squeeze their way into the armour- ies on the big night, standing roém facilities and squeeze seating facile ities making rooth for the added numbers, \ The exceptional high guality of each and every one of the ten bouts 1s the magnetic force to these tournaments, sponsored uy the Ontario Regiment. The crowds that turned out last year to these affairs came, saw and were cons quered and have been fans ever since, which explains partially the great advance sale of tickets which is already in evidence, Onge a fan, always a fan, is the case with these fistic combats seen at the Ricltmond street plant, Although only amateurs, the matchmaker of these tournaments, Fred Hardman, has an uncanny ability of picking just the very boys who will give and take, slug and duck for three hectic rounds to give the fans a run for their money every minute they are on the floor, All classes from 115 to 165 or 175 pounds are included in the matochmalker's scope, All the boys are picked for their smart- ness and hitting power and are carefully matched, also for their similarity in weight and experience, The mdjority of the participants are local boys. In some instances, to bring in what is known to be some real opposition, the Boxing Acgociation imports outside boys, especially from Toronto, but this only tends to make the bouts live- lier and with a foreign aspect, the erowd gets an even greater kick out of it. Some Toronto boys, not- ed for their hitting qualities, are on the hills for next week's Nair and they promise to furnish oppo- sition equally as good as that pro- duced in O:hawa. $0 a word to the wise should he sufficient; procure your paste- boards for the big show new and avoid the rush. Myvrs. Jack Dunn Agrees to Sale of Oriole Club Baltimore, Md., Oct, 30.--~ Charles H. Knapp, counsel for the late Jack Dunn and the Baltimore Orioles, today was elecied president of the baseball club to succeed Dunn, who died suddenly last week Knapp immediately in nounced that, followin s an apprais- al of the club's holdiug, the coins peny would he open for bids, At the meeting of the directors held in Knapp's offie today, it was decided that no manager would be appointed at this time, although the club will 'be pt in operaticn until a purchaser is found, President Knapp said that he would get an immediate appraisal of the baseball holdings, which ine cludes the baseball grounds, stands, franchise and contracts of players, in addition to grounds opposite the ball park that were owned by Dunn, Following the appraisal the club would be placed op sale, he said, Mrs, Mary Dunn, widow of the former owner-manager of the team, had agreed to the sale, he said, z The appointing of a manager was deferred until later in the year, According to Knapp, there is no need of appointing a man to serve as pilot at this time. The team will be forced to keep in operation in order to retain the franchise, Something definite concerning the club is expected to result from the annual meeting of the Interna- tional League to be held in To- ronto in December. Fine LAYS CORNER STONE Toronto, Ont., Ogt. 30,--Marking an important stride in the advance» ment of the modern type of educa tion was the ceremony of laying a corner-ztone for the new Junior Vocational school for boys on the site of the old Jaryis Street Col- legiate, The stone was laid hy Trustee Edith I, Groves, to whose pioneer work in the interest of this type of education generous tribute was paid by other speakers, / November § looks like a real swat» fest. ) All the outstanding boys who helped to make last year's shows so popular will be back again this year. Jimmy Leonard looks better than ever. This boy can sock and is a fast worker. Stocks is in for a big year, Stocks is an Oshawa Home Brew and the "Folkes" will be putting hard for him. . -- The show for November 9 while being the opening will be as good a card as can be gotten together anytime, Those in charge of the Show are out to give all the local boys a chance to do their stuff and if they give the crowd a real fight every- thing will be done to get them all the work they can handle, The club will do their share -- now its up to the sporting fans of Oshawa. : When Oshawa fans take to a team or a player or fighter they hand out real support. The. fight game is here to stay, in Oshawa. as long as the Ontario Regiment give the class of shows they have done in the past, The seats are now on sale at Mit chell's drug store and Mike's Place, There are only 500 reserves available for this show. The balance of 600 seats will go rush, This man Jimmie Moffat, like coach Pound of 'the Oshawa Blue Devils, 18 only a half pint or 16 ounces or what have you. But he is a worker and one thing is sure his boys will be at the top form for the ninth, Moffat is the trainer of the Regi- ment "Box fighters." But don't overlook McNeil the other 'Rig Noise," of the local club, He acts as father, mother, financial expert and general business manager of the club this accounts for its popu- larity, Twenty-four boys are all working like world champions in their training to give the fight fans their best, All that the public ask is their best and they will come out in their thousands. Ed. Donald, the local referee {is noted as the best in these parts. This includes that famous home of box fights, Toronto, Fred Nobert, chairman of the A. AU, of C. Boxing Commission claims he is a real find as a judge of fistic fighters, The Goodall brothers are in for a good season. Both boys will be on the next ecard, But not against each other folks--nay, nay. Harry Bayes will take on the younger Goodhall remember Harry? Last year he extended Goodall to the limit, This will pe a rare scrap. The rush seats go on sale at 7.45 at the north west door of the armories, on November 9, Scotty Adair, the human dynamo will be in on the opening night, Patsy Fern, of Toronto will know something more about fighting aft- er the mill is over, The matchmaker of the Ontario Itegiment Boxing Association pro- mises a novelty for the first show --be on hand early to get a good laugh, that's all we can say, The Ontario Regimental Band will be out in full force to dispense the latest in band musie, Ten bouts of good boxing con- stitute a bargain. But when you get 10 bouts of real scrappy scraps for a dollar reserved seat the public will think Christmas comes once every month, Fight fans are warned to get down to Mitchell's and Mike's early ae the good seats are bound to go ast. The ring will raised 18 inches so that everybody in the armories will almost have a ringside seat. DOLE SYSTEM IS BAD Toronto, Ont., Oct. 30, --- Dr. Glendinning of this city, returning from a stay in England was asked by a reporter what he thought of the dole system in that country: "Bad! Bad! Bad!" was the reply, And he cited a case where a maid asked her mistress to "fire" her in order that she might draw the dole. When the mistress refused the maid had caused so much un- pleasantness in the house that she had to be dismissed. "Do you think there will he a Labor government as a result of the flapper vote"? asked the re- porter. "No," was the reply. "Labor has divided itself in this way that it has excluded Communists," SPORT SNAPSHOTS Where there were little puddles sheets of ice this morning.

The intermediate O.H.A. men will also soon be pulling the skates and sweaters out of the moth balls for another quest for the title. This little game in the National with Dave Trottier is getting tough on the nerves.

Can you imagine the Ladies Ontario Amateur Softball Association not having yet declared their winners in the Intermediate division this year? Such is the sad but actual case. North Bay Rinkey Dinks, the team which gave Oshawa Chevs the paste in the cye, and the Toronto Nationals have still to play their championship final series, The Guelph Mercury and Advertiser, commenting on the Guelph-Osh- awa Intermediate O.R.F,U. game here last Saturday, has the following to This "Blue Devil" outfit, representing General Motors, is about as say: powerful an intermediate machine as mn seen in action im this class for some time, and this powerful "gas house gang" from Loudon, will have their hands full if they would march threugh to group honors.

The former bantam champion seemed to start in just where he left off when Roy slipped aeross the unexpected punch in their bat- tle at~the Arenr Gardens, and while he had little or no margin on the Buffalo lad in the first round, he took the next six, and al- though Ryan made a stirring stand in the last round he could not hold off Johnston in the eighth. While the latter was giving one of his best displays since joining 'the pro- fessional ranks, working his left ali the time and frequently bring. ing his right into use to stagger the Buffalonian, Ryan was by no means idle and he landed fairly of- ten of thel ocal lad's body, with an occasional punch to the face, Ryan is a cagey lad, and that makes Johnston's victory all the more impressive, and with a cou~ ple more bouts he will be ready for another crack at the title, Ryan has a fighting face; a thin, straight mouth, that once in a while curls up at the corner, and his tongue shoots out like that of a snake, hut his fierce appearance did not deter Johnston at any time. Twice Ry- an's face broke into a smile; once in the fourth round, when he clev- erly wove his head through a maze of Johnston's punches, and again in the seventh, when he, Johnston and the referee had a little joke all their own. The remainder of the time Ryan had a businesslike look about him, and he tried hard, but Johnston was a little too fast for dim, both with his hands and his feet, and while the loser landed solidly a number of times, John- ston showed that he could take it, and he paid back everything with interest. The results were: Ernie Taylor, Toronto (116%), obtained decision over Bobby Clary, Buffalo (115), after six rounds. Paul Brown, Niagara Falls, N.Y., (162%), obtained decision six rounds. obtained decision over Cann, Toronto (136%), rounds, Sam Bruce, Buffalo, tained decision over Toronto, (146), after 8 rounds. after 8 an, Buffalo, rounds.

The Jungle Kings are quite satisfied with their showing against Argos on Saturday, know- ing that their margin of victory was even more substantial than than the score indicated, but re- alize they must make every effort to reduce the number of penalties, which cost them so much yardage in the four games played this sea- son, They will prepare for the game next Saturday with the realization that they are quite likely to rum into their hardest struggle in twe years. Beating the Waee'ers here required considerable effort, but toppling them on their own field is something else again. It is an assured fact that the Montrealery will not go down without a real struggle, but the Striped Cats will enfer the engagement confident, without being too much so, and with every man as fit as the prov- erbial fiddle, Tonight was an off-night for the Bengals. They deserve and need the rest, for Saturday's gime was strenuous enough to result in a heavy toll in bruises, but Ray Boad- way, whose terrific plunging and tackling led him into many diffi- cult corners is the only Tiger on the hospital list.He is laid"up with a ; well-battered side. Alex, Den- man, who played a mighty party in out of a sick bed to take part In the engagement, has shown no {ll effects from the strenuous game, nor have Timmis, Cox, Elford and Baker, the( other mebers of the "Tank Corps." The brilliant tackling of all out- sides who took part in Saturday's strug~le here, and particularly of "Cap' Fear, peer of endmen, was indicative of an imperial defence for the Bengals against the Triple Threat on the Montreal backfield, and there will be' mo particular worry about Messrs. Wright, Moore and Perry on Saturday, As a mat- ter of fact, 'Tigers are thought to be planning an occasional backfield sortie, ca'culated. to. beat Mont- real at their own game. Workouts for the Cats will start tomorrow night, and will continue on Wednesday and Thursday. On Montreal.

In recognition of her performances on the Olympic team the citizens of Saskatoon presented Miss Cather- wood with $3,000 to be held in trust for two years for education- al purposes, After that she can use it for whatever purpose pleases her.

But we feel that the Gen- eral Motors Blue Devils are the one's who.can hand it out, if anyone can, * % x Last night, one of the rarest con- ditioning practices of the season was held. The ground was covered with about ¥ of snow and the air was nice and snappy. Coach Pound chose up sides and let the boys go at a game of basketball. It sure Luined the old lungs out of you but it was wonderful pragtice not only for condition but also for passing and catching. Things look pretty fair for the boys right now and we hope no casualties crop up. Casualties this season have not been very bad around our camp and we're touching wood right now and trusting to luck that they will keep away for the balance of the year. Doc. Loveless was sporting a sore knee last night and he'll likely have to wear a support on it for the rest of the season. We are glad to say it's no more and that "Doc" can still stay in the game. i Morris King got a nasty bash in the game, in spite of his getting | the face on Saturday, but from lat- est reports everything is fine and even his manly beauty will not be marred.

New York Rangers Try For Trottier Without Success Montreal, Que., Oct, 30.--New York Rangers, hockey champions of the world, are definitely in the ileld for the services of DaVe itottier, much-sought left wing of Toronto Varsi.y Grads. Trottier was in New York over the week- end, for a conterence with Col John 8, Hammond, president of the Rangers, and returned to Monte real today. Beyond admitting that Rangers had made him a very interesting offer, Trottier declined to say anys thing but the impression remained that the brilliant amateur will not permit professional or other hockey to interiere with his business car eer, and that if he plays, it will ve in Montreal, otherwise, he will not play at all. Trottier is eligible to play amateur hockey in the Province of Quebec, according to James Foley, convener of the sense or group. When Canadiens turn out for their first ice practice tomorrow they will have a second goaler be longing to the club. Wilfrid Boldue, 22, from Levis, Quebec, is the ase pirant towards being George Hainge' worth's understudy. Earle Robinson, big local boy who was top scorer in his league for Philadelphia Arrows last sea= son, is creating much favorable comment at the Mon.real Maroons' practices. He is a centre player. Nelson Stewart, always slow in getting started early in the season, is travelling at a rate of speed that is puzzling the railbirds, and pre« dicitions are that the left-winger fi in for a big year, 3 Canadiens have another Gagne, The second arrival, like Art Gagne, right winger, is a citizen of Ottawa, He is Alphonse "Moss" Gagne, and was previously with Royal Cana« dians and Montagnards of Qtiawa. Ladies Softball Finals Undecided North Bay, Oct. 30.--The North Bay Rinkey Dinks have become im- patient over the delays that have resulted in the play-downs of the ladies' intermediate softball chame pionship, They also do not take kindly to the suggestion thai has been advanced, that the Toronto Nationals and the Rinkeys decide the issue with a sudden-death game in a neuiral town. They take the stand that the fans who have loyal ly supported them in 'thalr ones for supremacy should be given an opportunity of seeing them in a final game, Another week longer will not make very much differ ence after waiting already for seve eral weeks, . Alderman D. J. Saya, business manager for the Rinkey Dinks, has suggested to Miss Mabel Ray, sece retary of the W.0.8.A., that home- and-home games be played, with the first game in Toronto next Sat- urday and the return geme here the following week. In the event nf rain on Saturday the Rinkeys are prepared to stay over and play on Monday.
