This will mean two long expensive trips, but there 'should be no difficulty in financing a senior team in this city. The local regation should make an excellent showing in this group, and with the material at hand, and roper practice, should win out. The tawa team is a new bunch just got together, and Westmount has lost some of its best men, who have gone over to Montreal. The local manage- ment will endeavor to secure the first game here, so as to get a good start. The boys have been working well all week and, .on Saturday afternoon, wil play a practice. game with Cadets I.

The R.M.C. team will be picked from the following players : Donnelly, Gib- son, McKenzie, Watson, Smith, Ringwood, Sutherland, Tay- lor, Hutton, Rogers, Tremaine, Morri- ton, Riffenstein, Burnham and Mere dith. The game will be excellent prac- tice for both teams. Queen's Teams At Work. Queen's had twenty men out in umi- form, yesterday afternoon, and a good stiff hour's work was put in. Capt. Williams put one bunch through their facings and Arthur Turner, the crack outside wing man, had command of the other. Queen's I will have a better team than last year, if present appearances count for anything. and, the first line will be far stronger. Many students who never turned out before are get- ting in line this year. ° Sporting Notes. _ President Ban Johnson. has sent ont Instructions to club owners in the American baseball league to use no new players against the four leading clubs. Dr. Irvine, president of the Mont: real club, says that the Quebec cham- pions will have the greatest team this fall that ever stepped into the grid- iron, Thoney's bad shoulder will not per- mit of his throwing effectively, so Manager Kelley decided not to play him in the Toronto-Columbus post- series. The record number of hits made in the American baseball league game this vear is twenty-one, registered by the Chicago White Sox, in Washington on Friday. Ottawa Citizen : The Rough Riders ought to sign Alf. Smith for quarter. "Smithy" has no equal at that posi- tion, and would be especially useful against such teams as the 'Tigers and Argonauts, 'algary and lethbridge were left in the finals for the lacrosse champion- shin of Alberta province, and they' could not agree on dates.

Sir Thomas Lipton's challenge fora contest "for America's cup in 1908, is declined by the New York Yacht Club. Sir Thomas asked for a race of sloops under the sixty-eight-foot rating, and the members of the club based their refusal to race on the general proposi- tion that the America's cup represents a trophy of thé speediest type of vacht that can be produced on a wat- er-line length of ninety feet or under, and that therefore any proposition to limit the size of the boats must be re fused. The members of the New York Yacht Club: at the meeting called to consider ' Sir Thomas' fourth challenge for a oip rage voted unanimously to reiect the challenge after Lewis Cass Ledyard, a former commodore of the club, made a speech.

Samples were examined at Toronto and the re. ult, showed A to have been con- aminated."' is, Edward Behan, a Pembroke manufacturer, believes re flects upon him, as he did much busi. ness with the camp. The Whig, of course, would not willingly do an in. Justice to any person, and, in this | case, when the item was penned, Nr. | Behan was not even known. We gre! assured that Mr. Behan only handles | goods of the purest quality, that the | water he used was analyzetl before ac. | ceptance and declared clear and good. | , as far as he was concerned, he utilized only the best and safest com- ponents in his wares. Whig un- hesitatingly agrepts Mr. Behan's statement, especially so as on en- quiry we find we were misinformed as to the samples from the camp being analvred in Toronto and found con- taminated. Any reflection upon Mr. Behan in the matter is wil ingly withdrawn, and we regret most sincerely 'that he should have been ag- grieved at what was printed. It was far from our intention to reflect upon him, esvecially as no names were sug- gested to the Whig when the item was written. $1.25 Watertown Return $1.25.

EXANPLE OF GRIT BLIND .TROOPER MULLOY TO TAKE POST GRADUATE Proposed That Canadian Pat- riotic Fund Should Bear the Expense--He Will Study at Oxford. * , Montreal | Witness. Trooper Mulloy is off for Oxford. Every Briton knows the story of this brave Canadian volunteer who Jost the sight of both his eyes through being shot at the battle of Rietiontein, on July 16th, 1900; and Canadians every- where will be interested in following ing hie course through life, which gen- uine grit and dogged determination promise to make as brilliant in the educdtional world as courage made in his career as a soldier. "LW. R. Molloy, B.A. as the gal lant trooper is known in college circles was in Montreal, on'Wednesday, call- ing on friends, and he sailed for Eng- land -on the Corinthian on Thursday, 'n company with two friends, N. Mac- donell, a Canadian Rhodes scholar, and C. Laidlaw, who is going to Lon- don to pursue research work in medi- cing. Mr. Mulloy graduated in arts at Queen's University, Kingston, in the summer of 1906, taking the B.A. de gree with honors. As a matter of fact he did the work necessary for the de- gree of master of arts, but his period of attendance did not entitle him to the degree, which he will procee to through extra-mural work. During the pust year he has been at home on his farm at Winchester, Ont., where his mother and sisters reside. Life in the to agree with him, country seems for, when called to' inguise afteg his former conrade-in-in-arms, Mid Dougall, he presented every aphearance of robust and healthy manhood. The inconvenience resulting from his lack of evesight has been largely overcome by the assistance of readers, who go over his studies with him, and his les- sons and examinations are done, so far as writing is necessary, by the aid of a typewriting machine, on which he has lone heen proficient. When it became known that Mr. Mul- lov wished to pursue. his studies at Oxford, financial assistance was pro- fered by several friends, but this he felt obliged for personal reasons to refuse. However, another proposal has s'nce been made which would proba- Liv be accepted by him. It has heen suggested, in influential quarters, that a portion of the balance still remain- ine of the Canadian Patrigtic Fund, which was raised to aid persons who were injured in the Boer war, could very properly be appropriated towards defraying the cost of three years post- eraduate course which Mr. Mulloy in- tends taking at Oxford. This sugpes- of a large number of subscribers and directors of the fund. This being a na- tional fund. raised in recognition of a mational service it is understood that Mr. Mulloy would regard the of- fer of its advantages in an altogether different light from private contribu- tions, The special subicets which Mr. lov intends ta strdv at Oxford volitical seirmee, histor and jurispru- dence in which fields he sees uw pro mising oenine with » nossihle liter arvl or professorial rosition nt the end of the conrse, The cood wishes of Can- adians will go with him.
