The life of a jockey is much like that of a soldier in the trenches. He doesn't know when his time has come. Every time lhe goes into a race. he doesn't know but that he will have a tumble that will end it all. Riders have been killed when either the horses they were on or others in the race have fallen. Others have been seriously injured while others still have been of no account after baving the misfortune to be- come mixed up in a jumble when one or more in a race fell. ; Canadian jockeys have not escap- ed having tumbles. Jimmy Butwell, one of the best riders on the contin- ent, is minus half of one of his ears, the result of a tumble at the Aque- duct, in which another jockey was killed. Stanley Davis, a Toronto boy, who was one of the best riders around six or seven years ago, was in this mix-up and never appeared to be of much account afterwards. Char- lie Phair, Junior, son of Charlie Phair, a noted trainer of Toronto, was killed by a fall while riding in the Trinidad Islands, Jimmy Denni- son, who rides for Ed. Whalen, train- er of the Harley string, now quarter- ed at the local track, has had just ad many bad falls as the next rider and still lives to ride as good a race as any present day jockey Back in 1908 Dennison was riding down in Los Angeles when the horse he was riding tumbled over a couple of oth- ers that had fallen. He had his left arm broken in seven places while he was also badly cut around the mouth. He was unconscious for four days and spent fifty-two others in the hospital. On top of that his arm was paralyzed for a year. Dennison is the most popular boy at the track and is called upon to gallop horses oftener than any of the others. Trainers know that they are going to be handled right when Jimmy is in the saddle. Mr. Whalen thinks there are no others like him. A FORMER ATHLETE JOINS GEN. WOOD'S STAFF "Hobey" Baker, Football, Skating and Hockey Play- er, with Aviation Corps. The value of an athlete in war has been demonstrated in the present af- fair in Europe, and whenever it is possible it's the athletes who are sought to become members of various military organizations by the officers of same. Just now "Hobey" Baker, one of the foremost athletes in America, whose fame in football, skating and hockey is at least country-wide, is a member of General Leonard Wood's United States civilian aviation corps. Baker is flying every day at Gover- nor's island under the direction of Philip, Bjorkeund, It isn't the sporting side which appeals to Baker, but the serious work attached It's his way of aid- ing in the plan of national prepared- ness, and no doubt his steps will be followed by many other athletes, and they will find that.-no other class is more welcome to any branch of Uncle Sam's service. VICTORIAS TO MEET PONIES ON SATURDAY. In the City Baseball League-- The 154th Band Is to Attend. The baseball game on Saturday at the Cricket Field promises to be one of the best and most interesting of the season. Providifig - there - is good weather the Victorias should put up a good game against the Po- nies. Last Saturday the Ponies went down to their first defeat at the hands of the Athletics, and the Vies are hoping that they can put one over them this Saturday. Both teams are going to turn out their best ma- terial, and it looks as though it was going to be a tight fixture. The president of the City League has ar- ranged for the 154th Battalion band to be on hand to'give music. Ponies are at the head of the league at present, and the Vices do not like these youngsters taking the lead. The standing at present is: Ponies, won 2, lost 1; Athletics, won 1, lost 1; Victorias, won 0, lost 1. THE PUBLIC SCHOOL BASEBALL OPENING. Macdonald 'School Defeated Central by 4 to 3 on Thurs- day Afternoon. The first game ih the Public School League was played on Thurs- day afternoon on the Cricket Field between Macdonald and Central.

The Hamilton Herald says: Apart from the fact that three of the five members of the Hamilton Amateur Baseball Association's 'executive are employees in one of the local news- paper offices, there can be no com- plaint to make about the selections. Evidently the slate-makers met with little or no opposition. It looks for all the world like-the work of experi- enced politicians, ! a eno -------- In the World of Sport]| i BASEBALL BRIEFS. I Chicago reports have it that Heinie| Zim 18 so proud of his new job as, captain of the Cubs that he is play-| ing the best ball He ever put up in his life, which must be going some. Dave Robertson is one of the sur-| prises of the season. When the; Giants reported at Marlin it was be- lieved that Robertson, because of a surgical operation, never would play ball again. President Frank W. Navin, of the Detroit Tigers, was advised on May 19th by Manager Jennings that ne- gotiations for the signing of Donald Beck, Columbia University southpaw, are practically complete Beck is expected to join the Detroit squad next month. The Yankees are first in team field- ing, fourth in team batting, last but one in team run-getting, and have made more double plays than any rival. Facts which go to show that good pitching and a tight-fielding defence have had much to do with their grist of victories. The Cardinals' young pitchers are not living up to expectations. Very much' was expected from Hi Jasper and "Sea Lion" Hall, but neither of] these has shown anything to date, Manager Herzog, of the Cincinnati | Reds, has decided to keep Heinie Peitz as a warm-up catcher, even if he has to sacrifice a second baseman to stay in the 21 man limit. Peitz also will act as coacher at third base, since he knows enough not to touch a runner trying to score, | | SFP E ESE EER RS SS | ATHLETES ALL ENLIST * AND SPORT LACKING. # For the remainder of the year #| at least Twégl will. be without any athletic gvents, other than + | those put on by the school boys, | as the number of young men who have enlisted and left there for Barriefield makes it practi- cally impossible to muster a | team. | -* PEPER PIP ree CRAWFORD NO LONGER GOOD AS OUTFIELDER. | Jennings Wants Him To Play First Base For the Tigers. Jenning has been unjustly charg- ed with keeping Sam Crawford on the bench through spite. The absurdity of such a charge is apparent when it is considered that success means more to Hughie thin it can possibly mean to any other person, writes Norman Beasley in the Detroit Jour- val. Jennings has been switching his team about--that's true--but he has made switches with the purpose of getting a winning combination. Sure- ly that is a laudable desire. Jennings has been unable to use Crawford through most of the season because the veteran has been suffer- | ing from an assortment of ailments. First Sam was threatened with pneu- monia; and when shaking off this discovered that the cold had settled in the muscles of his back. It was an impossible thought to consider Sam in the line-up when beset by these troubles. In the next place, Jennings honest- ly believes Sam is at his trail's end as an outfielder. Jennings in believ- ing this, shares an idea with a lot of baseball men." Sam is at the age where tendons tighten and he cannot cover ground as he once did. Slow runners take advantage of his throw- ing arm, and Jennings, in playing Heifmann in right field, was casting about for a capable substitute, Hughes does not believe Craw- ford's days are ended as a major leaguer. He wants Sam to play first base, but Crawford is unwilling be cause of a lack of practice, PROVIDENCE LIKELY TO HEAD INTERNATIONAL Still Long Way in Front, and Likely To Stay Providence is still a long way out in front in the International League, and the Grays are likely to stay there. No other team is within hail- ing distance of the leaders, who on form are the class of the league be- yond doubt. Baltimore and Mont- real are the only aggregation. who ap- pear to have any chance. to challenge the supremacy of the pace-makers, With a little better pitching staff the Royals would be sure pennant con- tenders. Howley has assembled a first-class team. He has a cracking good infield, and a fair set of fly chasers. Two of his outfielders once played with Boston, Cather and Moran, while the other, Maisel, was with Detroit this year. He is a brother df the fleet Yankee player. Wagner, the second baseman, is the infielder that Clymer tried in vain to secure from Cincinnati last year. Damrau was with the Athletics this season, but was beaten out for the third base job by Charlie Pick, the erstwhile Leaf. Slattery, the slug- ging first baseman, is a graduate of the New York State League. The Royals are a fast, hard hitting team, and cannot be kept out of the first division. i Mother Died as Boxer Won, While Mike Glover, a Boston wel- terweight, was engaged in a 12- round boxing bout with Ted (Kid) Lewis of London, Glover's mother lay on her deathbed at the City Hos- pital, Boston. She died at about the time the judges were announcing that | lows: | first prize for the single is a bean Lewis had been given the decision. ----------t2AAaanam Sir Robert PEEL 5c FAMOUS EASTERN BOWLING HEFT IS TO OPEN IN OTTAWA ON THE | SRD OF JULY, | ---- } Entries Are Coming in--Kingston ||| Bowler to Participate -- The f Eighth Annual Tourney, | " Entries for the eighth anmual| tournament under the auspices of | the Eastern Lawn Bowling Associa- | tion, to be held 'on the Ottawa! greens on July 3rd, are now com- ing in rapidly to Secretary Martin | Rosenthal,, Ottawa.
