But the orgy of base hits follow- ed, long ones, short ones, clean ones and scratch ones stood out in} direct comparison to the previous work of the two teams, The Wings hammered out a mere 15 safe wal- ops including home runs by Rip Collins and Pepper Martin, a triple by Martin, two doubles by Specs Toporcer and one by Ira Smith to make for a grand total of 26 bases. Prudhomme yielded no fewer than eight of the blows, and when the eighth hit rattled off the boards to be 'converted into a triple on Martin's dash around the infield and long slide to third, Johnny left 'the game. And he had but one man out in the second inning at this time and the Wings had seven runs. Collins' Ninth Homer Before Harrison relieved the tong right-hander, who pitched a one-hit game. against Montreal last week, Collins had belted out his ninth homer of the year to wind up a three-run rally in the first, in which Brown and Toporcer led off with safe blows.

Smith's -double and Jonnard's 'single, fdllowed by Derringer's strike-out accounts for the first three men in the second, Then Brown singled and Toporcer doub- Jed, to be followed by Martin's triple and fast sprint. .

Derringer was wild in the eighth and walked two men to force in a run after Sheedy and Phillips had singled, i "In the ninth. the. Leafs scored twice more on one hit, as Derringer could not find the plate again, He ed two and hit Gibson in the foat, but Cote drove a grounder to cer for the third and final f the inning and game, CR ------------------------------ nt., June 2---Tremen- tition which Canada he future on the grain markets x Sutlined 2 88 now studying agricultural # ol n 10 New ¥.

According to the paper this auth- ority stated the ne wdivorce court law preserves the "double-standard," of morality, whereby a man can di- voree his' wife for adultery, but a wife, divorce her husband, ' must prove both adultery and cruelty. Continuing the paper states that after all the discussion in the House of Commons and. senate advocating the Woodsworth bill on the ground that the senate had no. power , to make ruling regarding alimony, cus- tody, 'of children, property rights and damages--the new Ontario divorce law neglects to clothe Ontatio courts with those very powers; and. provine cial legislation may be necessary. The paper reports the legaloauth- ority said Ontario's' divorce proyi- sions are based only upon the law of England as it existed on July 15, 1870--"when it was at its most tic point .in history," 4 i Examination of the bill indicates, it is stated, that the act incorporat- "ing the province of Manitoba was ta- ken as a model, the words' referring to the territory struck out and the words relating to dissolution and an- nulment of 'marriage inserted.
