In Kingston on Saturday General Motors Blue Devils ~ Will Play an Exhibition Game With Queen's In: ter-Scholastic Seniors in Kingston Next Saturday The General Motors Blue Devils now have something to work for, a * definite object and one which is cap- . able of inspiring real work, Next Saturday, October 4, the Blue Devils will be the guests of the Queens Seniors, at ths well known Richard- son Stadium. It is a well known fact that Quegns are not in the habit of playing ex- hibition games with outside teams and the General Motors Club feels honoured at this distinction. The Kingston Gridders are sure that they will be given a real fight, or they would not be playing the local boys. The Blue Devils are not a Senior Rugby team but they are a very strong intermediate outfit and they should be quite capable of giving a very good account of themselves next Saturday in Kingston. With this end in view, the boys are working hard. This . afternoon they will hold a daylight practice, Starting Monday, the boys will be under the handicap of doing their practising in the dark, for the most part. However, they had had this difficulty to cope with in other sea- sons and no doubt they will once more be seen going through their workouts by flood lights. The team is fast rounding into shape and judging from present results, Coach "Liz" Walker is making a great suc- cess of his new job. The team looks muct better right now than they did at the same time last season. One or two new players have made a very favourable impression and if they 'only continue' their good work, they are sure to make a place on the team. The extensive practice on the tack- ling dummy is producing excellent results and already an improvement can be noticed in most of the play- ers. The Blue Devils will likely play their first league game on Saturday, October 11. Meanwhile they are get- ting ready for the game with the Tri-Colour, keeping in mind that fact, that they are out this year, to bring their 1930 campaign to a close - by winning the Ontario Intermediate title and maybe capturing the Dom- inion honours.

My attention was called to a let- ter published in you. columns yester- day written by a Mr. Johnston of Whitby in reference to the Juvenile Soft Ball League. As he has attack- ed me personally I would (being the secretary) like to ask him .a few questions dealing with this matter. 1st What does Rule 3, Sec. FP. say. 2nd What does Rule 5 say. 3rd What does Rule 6, Sec. A. say and then back to Art. 3, Sec. B. say. Can Mr. Johnston say from his personal knowledge that the Whitby Tuxis have lived up to cither one of the first three questions and if so why they were given the opportunity on Sept. 8th to comply with the first 3 questions. Can he answer this correctly, I say "No." he has jumped to conclusions and is trying to make a false im- pression. In reference to the so-called pro- test the other two clubs asked the executive for a ruling if I as secre- tary could say that the Whitby team had complied with these rules and I was obliged to answer. This let- ter was signed by the managers of the two clubs and are both known to both Dr. Mills and Ray Sleemon so there was no mystery about this. As to my handing a letter to Dr. Mills after receiving a cheque from him that is absolutely FALSE. had no knowledge whateyer of this protest until about 3 hours after getting home from Whitby when it was brought to mc in/the aft@rnoon. I called the president of the associa- tion by phone and reported it to him at night and on his instructions notified: Dr. Mills by MAIL posted on Sept. 4th. | As to the umpire awarding the game on Sept. 15 at Cowan's Park, the 'umpires were not even on the diamond, nor did the Whitby team live up to their promise to the exc- cutive at the meeting on Sept. 8th. That promise was made by BOTH Ray Sleeman and N. Joynt that they would produce proof of age of ALL their players BEFORE the game but they refused when it came to the pinch ,and that is what: has caused all the trouble. The annual meeting of the associa- tion: will be held shortly and I will personally 'ask permission of the president to make a full statement of 'this business from FIRST to LAST. I hope Mr. Editor Campbell that you will be present at that meeting so that your CONFRERE of WHIT- BY will be able to find out where the Canadian Statesman to be Honored in Montreal, | September 28 ia Montreal--The unveiling of the statue of Sir Louis Hippolyte La- fontaine, Canadian statesman, which recently arrived in Montreal and is now being erected in Lafontaine Park, will take place on September 28. The granite base upon which the statue is to rest will he completed shortly and the work of placing the historic image in position is now be- ing carried out.

Dave Stretton. Secty.-Treas, Oshawa City & Industrial Athletic Ass'n. Sir Louis Hippolyte Lafontaine, the Canadian statesman, was born in 1807, educated in Montreal and prac- tised law here. In 1830, a year af- ter being called to the bar, he enter- ed politics. He was a strong support- ter of Papineau but did not approve of violence believing in constitutions al methods of reform. bert Baldwin had the honor of es- tablishing the first colonial ministry on an approved constitutional basis. It was during their ministry that the Amnesty Bill better known as the Rebellion Losses Bill, was passed which caused grave riots in Montreal, personal violence to Lord Elgin, then Governor-General and the destruc tion of the parliament buildings then in Montreal, He rettired trom public life in 1851 when the ministry went out of office. In 1853 he was appointed Chief Jus- tice of Lower Canada and president of the seigneurial court, which set- tled the vexed question of land ten- Ever Answer Advertisements ?

He and Ro~ | Toronto 'Maple Leafs: Win From Royals to Even Up Canadian Series | Massena, N.Y, Sept. 27--The Tor-' onto Maple Leafs yesterday defeated the Montreal Royals here in the fourth® Fame of their post-season series for the Canadian baseball championship. The win for the Queen City team left the series tied at two games each, as yesterday's disputed game at Sherbrooke, Que., was awarded to the Royals. The teams furnished a fast and interesting contest at Alco Field here. The Royals made a desperate rally in the minth inning after Brown, who came up first, had singled, and with two out Conley hit for three bases to score him, making the count -4. Head failed in his effort to bring in the tieing run when he flied out to Cote. Harrison, the Leaf's pitcher, 'was tight in the pinches, no less than ten Royals dying on the bases. P.andS. Softball Banquet Last night, at Welsh's Parlours, the Parts and Service softball club held a get:together," which took the form of a banquet followed by dif- ferent forms of entertainment, in- cluding a "Redpath" shower. : It was one of the finest affairs of | its kind we have ever had the pleas- | ure to attend. Good-fellowsliip and the best form of club spirit, pre- vailing. Practically every member of the club, which means executive and each member of both teams, junior and intermediate were on hand, with the exception of one or two. W. Gillott, hon.-president of the Club, was unable to attend the banquet, owing to ill health, His absence was much regretted by the boys as he took an active interest in the club, attending all games. After the boys had done full jus- tice t0 a sumptuous repast, Presi- dent H. R., Brown, acting as chair- man, gave a few suitable remarks, thanking the players and executive for the splendid co-operation accord- ed the club during the season and giving a statement of the club's financial condition, Several other speakers. were called upon, including the coaches, manager, 'and a repre- sentative from each tcam and then the big surprise of the evening was pulled. Presented With Pins Acting on behalf. of Mr. Gillott, 3.1 F. Jarrell, another member of the Club's executive, then gave a short address at the conclusion of which he pulled . the big surprise of the 'evening and -bne which proved a very pleasant one indeed, when he presented each member of the club with' a beautiful pin, decorated in the club colours and suitably worded. H. Smith gave two readings and af- ter a hearty vote of thanks had been accorded to the executive, by the: players of both teams, the boys then indulged in different forms of en- tertainment for the remainder of the evening. All were loud in their praise of the delightful evening spent, which was a fitting climax to the excellent treatment accorded the teams, by the club during the entire season. ure in Canada.

FIRST SHIPBUILDING IN CANADA The first shipbuilding in Canada was done by Pont-Gravé who built two vessels at Port Royal (Anna polis® Royal, Nova Scotia) in 1606, when he believed himself to .have been deserted by DeMonts. It was Talon, however, who gve, shipbuild- ing the status of an industry, for in 1665, before he returned to France, 360 men out of a total popu- lation of less than 7,000 were en- gaged in constructing wooden ships. PRAIRIE AND YUKON FISHERIES The product of the fisheries of the Prairie Provinces and Yukon Terri- tories in 1929, was valued at $4, 075,095, compared with $3,580,662 in 1928.

V. Homans in Final for | Amateur Golf Title Today Bobby Jones Advances Over Jess Sweetser by Virtue of Brilliant Play -- Homans Stages Remarkable Rally to Nose Out Charlie Leaver Merion Cricket «Club, = Ardmore, Pa., Sept. 27--Twenty-two-year-old Eugene Venderpool Homans staged one of the most sensational come- backs of golf tournament history yes- terday to win and earn the distinc- tion of playing the great Bobby Jones today for the amateur cham- pionship of the United States. Five down after the first 18 holes, three down at the twenty-seventh, and still two down with four to go, Homans, with a display of sheer grit, belied by his. frail, studious appear- ance, won three of the last four holes to beat 19-year-old Charley Seaver of Los Angeles, one up, on the thirty-sixth and last green. Jones Wins Easily Homan's dramatic victory in fhe semi-finals followed the triumphant onward sweep of Jones, who crushed an old rival, Jess Sweetser of New York by the lop-sided margin of 9 up and 8 to go in the Georgian's most convincing victory of the tour- nament. As a result of two matches that sparkled with great golf and thrilled galleries of upwards of 5000 spec- tators, Homans is the only barrier between Jones and a fourth national championship triumph for the year--- a clean sweep that would leave King Bobby with no more worlds to con- quer and a record that modern generations" may never see equalled. Tf there was any one tonight who did not anticipate that Jones would cemplete his marvelous march of conquest, perhaps including Homans himself, he could ast Le located, for the Georgian uncorked a hrand of golf today that was as nearly un- beatable as anything can be in this sport, Jones, despite a bad streak of golf midway in his morning round, had old man par at his mercy as well as the klond, good-natured but also out- classed Sweetser, nowhere near the golfer who overwhelmed Jones eight vears ago by 8 and 7 at Brookline. The great Georgian was 4 up on Sweetser at the end of the morning round and he shot dazzling golf in the afternoon to end the match on the twenty-cighth green. Then, as a climax, he almost holed out his pitch from 90 yards, the ball}. stopping 10 inches from the cup for the third Jones birdie m four straight holes. Met Once Before The finalists have met once, in the second round at Minnekahda, in 1927, when Jones was the victor over Homans bv the count of 3 to 2. Despite his 22 years, Homans has had plenty of golf tournament ex- perience, and he gets the fighting courage he manifested today from his father, Shephard Homans, fam- ous as a fullback with the Prince- ton football teams from 1889 to 1892. Rochester Red Wings Defeat Louisville, 8-1 to Even Up "Great Series" Rochester, N.Y, Sept. 2/--The little world series was evened at one victory each yesterday hen the Rochester Red Wings administered a crushing 8 to 1 defeat to their American Association rivals, Louis- ville, Steady pitching by John Berly kept the Colonels away from the plate after the second inning in which they scored their only counter, Berly was also a potent factor in the home club's attack, getting three clean hits and scoring two runs him- self, Joe Brown, however, was the feal Rochester hitting hero. He clouted two singles and a double and: ac- counted for five runs. Captain Seorge Toporcer also collected three hits. Both Berly and Roy Wilkinson, who started for the Colonels, were unsteady at the beginning. Berly, however, settled after the second inning. Simons was the stellar Louisville performer, He had two hits and contributed the most spectacular catch of the series when he picked Wilson's potential triple off the .cen- trefield fence with one hand, SQUIRRELS I have two little tenants who pay me no rent, And yet are quite 'saucy and hold.
