PHONE 529, take this opportunity of call- ing the attention of the Cana- dian Public to the Dominion of Canada Loan now being offered by the Government at a high rate of interest. ty In buying Victory Bonds you support Canada in the war, you prove your right to citi- zenship in the great Empire of which Canada is a part, and you buy a share in the victory of civilization over barbarism, freedom - over tyranny. Pep Let us make the Victory Loan a success that all Cana- dians may be proud of, and in which all our Allies may rejoice. MAKE YOUR DOLLARS FIGHT It is the duty of every loyal Canadian, who" is able to stay at home in comfort, and en- joy his 5¢ "Poet" Cigar as usual, to put every dollar he can spare into the purchase of Victory Bonds.

Hockey season in Detroit will open on Thanksgiving Day, November 29th, with a game between Detroit and Hamilton. Detroit is in right again with the Ontario Hockey As- sociation, so Ottawa and Montreal teams will likely be side-stepped. * Quebec Hockey Club appears to be imposing on good nature. The other clubs in the E.C.I. should hand them their hat and ask what's their hurry. The death is announced of James B. McVey, one of the great Sham- rock lacrosse players of Montreal two decades ago. He played on the home side, and did much fo win the cham- pionship in 1892, which was one of the most brilliant years the. Sham- rocks ever had. : Joe Jenkins, a catcher of the world's champion Chicago White Sox, has arrived at Camp Gordon, Atlanta, Ga., as a select man, laeut., Earle MacCallum, a star hockey player of London, has been killed in action. Many New York boxing authorities are of the opinion that there was something funny about the "knockout administered by Mike O'Dowd to champion McCoy on Wednesday night. President Charles Weeghman, of the Chicago Cubs, has purchased out- fielder McCabe, of the St. Joseph club, of the Western League. It is rumored that there may be two professional hockey teams in Winnipeg this winter, the promoters counting upon most of the amateurs to make the jump. The annual financial statement of the. National Amateur Athletic Asso- ciation of Montreal showed that the lacrosse team lost over one thousand dollars last summer. Intimations come of several changes in the National League 'staff of um- pires for next year. Two new can- didates for positions are Charley Mo- ran, who worked successfully in the Southern League last season, and be- fore that in the Texas circuit. and Bill Friel, veteran of the American Asso- ciation, where he has a good record as umpire and manager as well. Tilton Robertson, brother of Out- fielder Dave Robertson, of the Giants, died on Nov. 5th at Anniston, Ala, where he was in camp with the Vir- ginian National Guard. The next day Dave was called for examination under the draft, and he was quoted as saying that, even if he escaped ser- vice, he probably would quit baseball because of the death of his brother. It's Ald. Harry Davis now, At the recent municipal election in Philadel: phia, the veteran captain of Connie Mack's Athletics was elected to rep- resent his ward in the Quaker City Common Council. He ran on three tickets, Town Meeting, Republican and Democratic, says the report from Philadelphia, which leads one to won- der who and what opposed him any- way. HARNESS MEN PREPARING Walter Cox is Purchasing Grand Circuit Candidates. Walter R. Cox, the leading driver of this season in the Grapd Circuit, with more than $80,000 to his cre- \ dit, is already collecting his candi- j dates for next year's campaign. From James P. McNichol, of Philadelphia, he recently received the vromising five-year-old trotting stallion Bel- charm, by Belshire II, out of Wil- helmina, by Box Elder.

Professional hpxing has gone into gloom 1s opaque in pugilistic circles. Henceforward it will be illegal to conduct professional boxing bouts within the confines of New York State, but' already come of the intre- pid promotess, sanguine that the au- tharities will be tolerant, are arrang- ng to circumvent the law by holding bouts under the old "club" system in vogue before the passing of the Fraw- ley law, The Frawley law was repealed for practically the sam¢ reasons as the Horton law, which was revoked on September 1st, 1900. The passing of boxing was at that time attributed to lack of diplomacy and sharp practice by the boxing trust. In the old days a coterie of promoters believed their rule of pugilistic entertainments would continue indefinitely and openly an- tagonized many persons in power in the State Government They permitted scenes of disorder and faked bouts frequently. Then the law stepped in and kicked them out. And, again, it was the ill-ad- vised tactics of somgepromoters and some of those who hafl heen appoint- ed to administer the affairs of boxing that combined to encompass the downfall of boxing under the Frawley law. When the Frawley law was enacted on July 26th, 1911, the future for the game in New was bright indeed. But eventually the pastime fell into ill- repute. The Frawley law was drawn and in- troduced by Senator Frawley on Wed- nesday, May 3rd. ' It had been fram- ed with the assistance of a number of prominent sportsmen and was the first measure of its kind to be adopt- ed. It provided for the appointment of a commission of three members to serve for five years each without pay, and in this body was invested the ju- risdiction over all boxing exhibitions within the State, the bouts being lim- ited to ten rounds, and no decisions. All boxing clubs were compelled un- der the act to file a bond in the sum of $10,000 with the State Controller and the commission was also xuthor- ized to collect a tax of five per cent. of the total gross receipts from the sale of all tickets. Boxing went along in the even ten- or of its way until last winter, when the State investigation ordered by Governor Whitman into the Wenck case revealed such a condition in con- nection with the . administration of boxing affairs that the Governor was compelled to remove Wenck, his own appointee, as chairman of the Athletic Commission. Then followed' the de- cision to put boxing under the ban. ALL-AMERICA TEAM IN AMERICAN NAVY Newport Naval Training Sta- tion Has Great Galaxy of Gridiron Stars. The nearest approach to an AHN- America football team that has ever been seen in action on the gridiron is the eleven that "Cupid" Black is leading at the Newport Naval Train- ing Station. Practically every man on the roster has been mentioned at some time as a selection for an all- something-or-other team. The Mne-up includes such well known stars as Callahan, once centre for Yale; Schlachter, who made quite a reputation as a guand at Syracuse; Green, who was a tower of strength as an end at Dartmouth; Barrett, All-America choice for quarterback in 1915 while playing with Cornell; Gerrish, who won football fame play- ing in backfield of Michigan; Hite, who shone while chasing the pig hide for Kentucky University; Gardiner, formerly of Nebraska, besides Black, who was the AH-America choice for guard last season. It is a' powerful combination of] football celebrities, and in spite of the fact that most of the players are great individual stars, there is no tack of team play to mar the work of the machine on the gridiron, No football team in the history of the sport has ever boasted a greater gal- axy of real stars. DETROIT HOCKEY SEASON A city hockey league made up of teams from various automobile fac- tories is projected for the great Can- adian winter pastime in Detroit this winter. |cANADIANS BUILD GOOD FOUNDATION Three. Years of Baseball Mis- sionary Work Earns Sup- port of Americans. In spite of the war, sport in Eng- land during the past summer has en- joyed quite the best season since the great conflict began. Baseball has proved a great drawing card, and in- terest increased by leaps and bounds. From small crowds-of one or two thousand, the gates went up to Jas many as 15,000 people who witnessed some of the games. A competition arranged on the knockout principle among the over- seas military forces of Canada in the British Isles attracted the large num- ber of 10} entries, and the final game was recently decided in London be- tween the two survivors--the Epsom Canadian Convalescent Hospital team and the 198th Battalion (Canadian Buffs) from Witley. Although Ep- som won hy 7 to 1, due to some won- derful pitching by Sergt. Doyle and the fine support of the catcher, Pte. G. Glover, the game was followed with intense enthusiasm by a large and noisy crowd. Next summer "ball" will carry ev- erything before it, as the presence of the An:erican boys will give a decided fillip to the strong foundation laid by the Canadians during the past three years. Cricket has been largely played all over the country, but the ahsence of any competitions in the south of Eng- land drove the star players to the north, where the leagues arranged in Yorkshire and Lancashire attract a lot of attention. Golf has suffered more than any other sport, numbers of the prominent players being on ac- tive service. The exhibition games by the leading "pros." have drawn well, one played last month at Sun- ningdale, when Harry Vardon and James Braid opposed J. H. Taylor and Jack White, attracting 2000 people, which, with donations and the result of 'auctions of clubs of famous play- ers, benefited the Red Cross Fund to the extent of about $6,500. Athletics had a good season, the leading clubs--Ranelagh, Blackheath, Finchley, Thames Valley and Shaftes- bury--all enjoying attractive cards. The naval and military carnival net- ted $2,000 fot 'the benefit of -the-dis abled and wounded. Tennis retained its popularity, and was indulged in to a great extent all over the country. Dick Burge's ceaseless éfforts to ca- ter to followers of boxing have result- ed in many thousands of dollars be- ing added to the various war funds, and since the National Sporting Club opened its doors for the season last month many attractive bouts have ta- ken place, and a fine schedule has been arranged for the coming winter. A John Tene? says he intends to crack the whip a little in the National League next year. The old National can certainly stand a little Simon Le- gree stuff.
