AAU. of C. With a view of standardizing the game of Indoor Baseball, J. P. Fits gerald, secretary of the Ontario Ath- letic Commission and W. J, Smith, Director of Athletics of the Ontario Branch of ,the AAU. of C., drafted a 'tentative set of rules some time ago and submitted them to all known indoor baseball leagues throughout the province for sugges- tions or approval, After reviewing the replies from the different centres, the rules as submitted were finally adopted af- ter serious consideration, it being thought that they were most adapt- able to the game played, parficu- larly where space was limited. It is the intention of the Commission to organize a provincial association for the purpose of conducting cham- pionships. The following rules have been ap- proved: 1, The rules of regulation base- ball as officially adopted by the National and American Leagues an- nually, shall govern the indoor base- ball game with the following excep- tions, 2. The bases shall he 50 feet apart for men; 40 for girls and boys 16 years and under, 3. The pitching distance shall be 38 feet for men; 30 feet for girls and boys under 16 years, 4. The ball shall be the regulation "Playground" 12-inch ball. 56. The bat shall not be wore than 2 feet, 10 inches long, nor more than two inches in diameter at its larg- est part, 6. No spiked shoes may be worn. 7. No gloves may be used by anv player, except the catcher. 8. The pitcher must deliver the ball from below the hips, the arm paralleled with the body, and only one step may be taken in the de- livery, 9. A dead ball shall be called » ball but the batter will not take his hase unless it is the fourth ball, Base runners will return to thei bases on a dead ball, > 10 Base runners must hold their bases until the ball delivered has crossed the home plate, They must not start to steal while the pitcher bas the ball in his possession. 11, If a base runner leaves his base too soon he will be declared out. 12. The balk rule of hard bal shall be rescinded. ' ou p sha the hard ball rules, 14. A third strike shall come un- der the hard ball rules. 15. Overthrows to first and third hases or passed balls entitle base runners to one base, providing they can make it, Winner of Second Division of T. and D. Is Still Undecided The Oshawa football team has been lying idle for the past two weeks, having completed its full num- ber of scheduled games. The cham- pionship of the second division is still undecided, Telfers and Kew Beach having one game yet to play. Should Telfers win, they will be tied with Oshawa for second place and an axtra game will decide the issue. It is rumored that Oshawa will pro- test a game which they lost to Cow- ans several weeks ago, but the pro- test has not yet been filed. If the soccer season is allowed to drift along in the same way it has been during the past few weeks, the T. and D, will be in about the same po- sition as the Osha and District Association is at the resent time, Officers of South Oshawa Church Hockey Club Chosen At the meeting called on Tuesday evening to discuss hockey for the South Oshawa boys this coming win- ter, it was decided that the young men as a Sunday School class would organize, and let their sport be an outcome of that organization, Bob Andrews was unanimously asked to be chairman for the meeting. The following officers were elected: President--Cecil Bint. 1st Vice--Jack Claus, Secretary--Bob Bint. Treasurer--Jack Miners. The boys felt that through an or- ganization of this sort they would he bet er equipped for the next year's sport. Accordingly great plans are under way for hockey this coming season. The three cups given last year will soon be open for contest again. The South Oshawa Seniors have the Jury & Lovell cup in their possession, and they all are out to work to keep it, . Ulster United, of Toronto, were granted permission by the T. and D. Council to play an exhibition game of soccer in Oshawa next Saturday. No announcement has been made by the Oshawa Club as to the game taking place here. and LL.P.

"wy" Rugby Club Has Been Formed Since the inception of rugby ip Oshawa by the High School, which is represented in the Interscholastic series of the O.R.F.U., much interest has been aroused over this game which has proven to be popular throughout Ontario wherever it has been promoted. Mr. Howard Ellis, Physical Director of the Y.M.C.A.. has seen fit to further encourage rug- by by organizing a rugby club in con- nection with the "Y". Last Monday evening a meeting was held at which twenty-two pro- spective players were present. An organization was completed to be known as the "Y" Rugby Club with a view to fostering football among the boys. The officers elected were: president--Howard Ellis; secretary- treasurer--Eugene Gareau; captain --R. Wright. It was decided that an annual assessment fee of $1 be charged each member. It is the intention of the club to play exhibi- tion games with local and outside teams. It is understood that Mr. J. G. Althouse, principal of the High School, will coach the boys. No time is being lost in selecting a team, a signal practise having been called for this evening to be held on the YMCA, gym at 6.30 o'clock, while on Saturday afternoon the first workout will be held on the High GOLF "Who's the stranger, mother, dear?

THE RICKSHAW RUNNERS Although the motor-car is no un- common sight in Japan, many of the conservative Japanese still keep the rickshaws with rickshaw men to draw them, as their favorite mode of conveyance. Rickshaw men in private employment often wear handsome uniforms, on which the crest of the employer is embroider- ed, They hdve wonderful speed and endurance. Ten miles an hour is not an uncommon pace, and two men, alternately taking the post of leader and wheeler, will keep it up for 50 or 60 miles. Still it js a pace that kills, and it used to be said that the life of a rickshaw coo- lie did not exceed ten years after he took to the road. VOLTAIRE'S BITING WIT The expression "washing one's soiled linen," meaning the airing of unpleasant private affairs or family quarrels in public, comes down to us from Voltaire, the famous French Satirist. The occasion for its origin is said to have taken place in 1740, when General Maustein wrote to Voltaire asking to be vindicated pub- licly of accusations mage against him. Voltaire happened to be occu- pled in answering the appeal of Frederick of Prussia to help him straighten out one of his dilemmas. So he replied to Maustein: "The King has sent me some of his dirty inen to wash. I will wash yours another time."

School field. Mr. Ellis hopes to turn out a fast aggregation, and although it is their first year, to give some of the older teams some stiff opposi- tion. "Y" Campaign Is The Main Topic of Conversation There seems to be an active revival of the old-time enthusiasm regard- ing the Y.M.C.A, Although no effort has been made for membership, the classes have started with very good attendance. The coming membership drive which is to start next Tuesday, is the big topic of conversation. Much com- petition among the various teams and leaders will insure the success of the "drive." The "Y" is being splendidly run and is a real factor in Oshawa--the only regret is that a larger building cannot he erected at once--a huild- ing in keeping with Oshawa's ini- portance and industrial growth. Girls Play First Indoor Baseball Game of Season The opening indoor bagghall game of the season was played in the arm- ories last night between the girls of Pedlar People's Office Staff and the Business Girls, the former win- ning 57 to 14. Judging from the ex- hibition displayed by the winners, they have been getting in some practise and should take some beat- ing in the league as goon as it gets under way. Arrangements for com- pleting the Girls' organization is being left to the management com- mittee of the Oshawa Indoor Base- ball League, The line-ups last night were: Pedlars--M., Colin, N, Coughlin, G.

Declaring that a direct contrayven- tion of the Lord's Day Act had been | committed, the Winnipeg Preshy-| tery vigorously protested the play-| ing of golf championship games in| the city on a Sunday. In a resoln- tion passed it was asserted 'that the spirit which disregards law does not suit the personal inclination or de- sire of the individual is the spirit of anarchy." The presbytery does not at present contemplate any legal ac- tion. The Manitoba open golf cham- pionship was staged last Sunday. The Business Men held an organ- ization meeting last evening in the! Armories to make preparations for placing a team in the Oshawa In- door Baseball League. N. Whin- field was elected manager and H. Kelso captain. The colors of the team will be black and white.
