To Move Clock on an Hour During Their Season American baseball men are speci- ally interested in the agitation to "move the clock up" and will lend a hand wherever possible, for setting the clock ahead an hour would mean much to the baseball fan, who, by quitting his work an hour earlier would thus be able to attend week- day games where now he has only Saturday and Sunday. It is likely that if the "move the clock up" idea becomes gemeral, even without gov- ernment endorsement, that the time for starting games will be made four o'clock, which would be the time that the masses of the population would quit work for the day, though it would on the face of the clock be five o'clock.

At the present. time there is very little doing in Kingstoh in the sport- ing line Baseball holds sway, and there will be lots this summer to sat- isfy the fans. It really seemis too bad that tennis, which. is a healthful game, is not taken up by [more of the citizens. In many of large number of towns, there are continually by a large number of ap- Preciative people. Besides a few private courts there are practically only the courts that have been put up at Queen's University. 'These are accessible only to students and those who "have paid their .athletic fee.

Down in the states last summer the interest taken in tennis was almost as much, according to reports, as that taken in baseball.
