BY CLOSE SCORE OF 8 TO 2 IN GAME ON SATURDAY College Boys Nosed Out Victory In Good Match In Kingston Amateur League--Red Socks Won From St. Mary's In Junior Series. Fresh from their holidays, Queen's got into harness again on Saturday afternoon, and won the ball game from C.L.C. in the Kingston Amateur League, by the close score of 3 to 2. It was.a good game, in which honors were about even, the college boys putting up a little more "pep" -- just enough to nose out a victory. Wilfrid served up the slants for Queen's, and played a horse of a game. His work was good all the way through the piece, in fact it was his "bit" that pulled the university squad to victory. .Purtell, the old stand-by for the C.L.C. put them over the pan in great style, and was credited with his best me of the season. 'He worked fine all through the session. Queen's had a new man behind the bat, in the person of Bert Hunt, of hockey fame, and he showed the fans that he was just as geod at baseball as hockey. He got a dandy two-bagger, which helped a whole lot. Purvis, the speedy little shortstop for the college nine whal- loped the pill for a home run, but he ran wild on the second pillow, making the circuit without touching this bag, and was called out. Eccles and Swarts had their batting togs on, and each gathered in two hits. A strange feature of the set-to was the fact that McCulla scored the two runs for the C.L.C., while Swarts had the honor of tallying the three runs for Queen's. As a result of this won for Queen's. We have to hand it to-"Doc" Mundell for being some prophet.

The Detroit Americans of 1909 and the Chicago Nationals of 1910, were the last western clubs to cop a pen- nant. New York, Boston and Philadel- phia Wve won the National League gonfalon In succession, Col. Ebbets figures that it is now Brooklyn's turn, if there is to be a fair division of the spoils among the eastern clubs. Ag for the west, Gen. Ebbets says they may whistle. Rube Marquard is said to bitterly hate John McGraw, and he is also alleged to have it 4n for some of his former teammatés of the Gi'ents, But we know one former Giant that Rube doesn't hate, never has hated, and never will hate. It was a sorry day for the Giants when Al Demaree was traded to the Phillies. Demarre has won at least a dozen games from McGraw's men, with one defeat, since his oeparture. * The Boston Braves can justly be called the Hitless Wonders, Pitch- ing, fleld and pugnacity have kept them in the race.

A much larger crowd was at the cricket field on Saturday last than at any City League ball game in a long time. They were not disappointed in the brand of ball handed out and, although somewhat ragged at times, the game was interesting. The Ponies won out by a score of 6 to 1. The Ponies had the advantage as could be plainly seen. Gallagher was in the best form he has been in this year. He held the Vics down to four hits only ore of which was more than a one-bagger. He was given good support by all of the team except Daley who, at first, seemed to be a little wild and piled up three errors for himself. The Vics got their one, and only, run in the first innings when Laird came in on a single of Sommerville. However, they played good ball and the old timers used their heads to good advantage. Saunders at third could not get near the ball either in his hitting or flelding. Baker played a very good game in the left field but Weaver, a new man at right, did not shine. Grace, the pitcher, allowed the Ponies to knock the pill all over the field and was replaced in the sixth by Gillespie who finished in great style. x The Ponies started to load up the runs in the first when Vics went up in the air and got three of the four errors they are credited with. J. Stewart and Daley started the fire- works' when Weaver muffed and fumbled the ball at right field. In the third Gallagher smashed the ball for a homer, and in the fourth C. Stewart went the rounds scoring Swain but was nipped himself at the home plate, after shooting the ball past left basket. In the seventh they got two more, C. Stewart shot an- other three-bagger and came home on a nice light hit of Daley. J. Stew- art followed when Sdunders was thrown out. This completed the runs. The teams were: Ponies--C. Stewart, 3b; J. Stew- art, If; Daley, ss; Saunders, 2b; Gal- lagher, p; Walsh, 1b; Evans, c: Cherry, rf; Swain, cf. Victorias--Laird, 1b; Dick, : Baked, If; Sommerville, 2b; Taber, ¢; V.

Beaseball is beautifully misunder- stood in England judging from an ac- count which recently appeared in an English newspaper of an exhibition of the American pastime given by some Canadian soldier boys in Brighton. About 120 Canadian soldiers arriv- ed in Brighton and Hove recently and their coming was made the occasion of a festive holiday with speeches, refreshments, etc. For the entertain- ment of their hosts the soldiers. .stag- ed several athletic contests including a game of baseball. This is how the reporter for the Brighton Herald saw the game: "The great attraction was the baseball match. It struck a mere Briton that if Canadians look upon baseball as fun it is no wonder that they take the dangers of the trenches so light-heartedly. To an outsider it would appear that the great thing in baseball is to stun your opponent. The pitcher grips a ball about the size of a cricket ball and quite as hard, This, without any prelimin- ary warning he hurls with all his strength at the batsman's head. If the batsman is lucky he ducks out of the way. If he is luckier still, he hits it and sometimes sends it sailing into the crowd. If the ball escapes a player on duty for the purpose. He is suitably armored for the purpose of escaping with his life from the game. His head and face are enclos- ed within iron bars, his chest is heav- ily padded, and he wears gloves that would make a boxer look small. The fielders are- also protected with gloves. Otherwise the game re. |sémbles our homely rounders. Seve- ral men receive « what seem to bg nasty blows during the coudse of the game, but only one man encounter- ed a real injury, breaking his finger while catching a ball. Possibly it was for this small amount of casual- ties that accounted for the fact th: no score was kept and no one could say which of the two sides engaged. Montreal or St, Johns had won.
