Many of the | players played semi-professionally in Toronto and other parts of the | country before the war. Most of them {are first contingent men and wear | the gold stripes of the wounded. { Some have earngd other decorations 'also. - } It is proposed to organize one team composed entirely of men who have been wounded in some of the big engagements "over there," but who are now capable of engaging in' athletics again. Some novel effects in uniforms are promised. Among | the organizers of the teams are play- ers who helped to introduce the game in England and France. It is pro-! | posed to.play for the benefit of. the | patients at the military hospitals at 1 Whitby, Guelph, St. Catherines and elsewhere, Pode { Managers Take to Southpaws. | If thes value of a southpaw is doubled the official averages of the National League recently issued | show conclusively that the manag- es {in the older circuit have no | doubt about their use. | The records show that no less than 231 port-sid worked in the National, probably the largest num- ber ever gathered together under one tent during a seadon | Only a trifle over half of this "number were pitchers, seventeen in all, the rest worked in the outfield | or on first base One manager, Fred Mitehell, { could have put an entire southpaw | outfield into the field had he wished {to do so, Williams, Wolter and Flack all throwing from the fork- | side. The - advantage of left-handed | pitrers has long been well known. {In the old days when they were | scarce they could usually be counted on to fool the batters with curves which broke just opposite to those of the right-handers. As the game pro- gressed some smart batters learned to bat left-handed so they would be especially effective against left- handed pitching. 'This also added speed in the cases of fast base-rtn- as they 'gained a couple of steps in getting away from the plate en a hit ers Bids For Big Fight. - Bids out of all proportion are being made for the heavyweight chanipion- shap bout between Jess Willard and Fred Fulton, which will be staged somewhere on July 4th next, says the Toronto Star. The tangle will be one of the greatest ever seen. A huge crowd will witppss it. It's a fine sporting gamble ¥or a promoter to take in arranging the scrap and bidding a huge sum. But--the Will- ard<Fulton bout isn't worth $150, 000 of any man's money, and it's very probable that just this much will be offered. For a Fort Wayne, Ind., promoter already says he has put up $140,000 as the mark for rival bidders to attempt. There are reasons to believe that a twenty round bout between these two husk- ies would draw as well as the Jef- fries-Johnson match in Reno. In that event a huge offer would not he out of place. But, with whr taxes to pay, increased cost-of building materials for erection of an arena, ineréased cost of training, printing, and every other thing that goes to make a championshin fight, it's much more of a gamble than was the affair between Jeffries and Johnson. Holmes In Special Class, When \{t comes to splitting the lethons in world's series hockey, Har- ry Holmes, goalkeeper of the Toron- tos, is in a class by himself. Holmes helped the Torontos win the Stanley Cub in 1912. He was with Seattle Mets when they won the champion- ship last winter. Now he is figuring in his third world's series. and chances are that he will be on the winning team. Holmes is not a sen- sational custodian, but he is very reifable and steady. This is the se- cond time that Harry Cameron, of the Torontos, has figured in the world's series, as he was with thel Blue Shirts when 'hey won in 1912. Harry Mummery was a member of the Canadiens who lost to Seattle! last winter, and now he is with To-! rontos, "Wheezer" Dell, the Brookifh pitcher, may go to the Vernon ciub |} of the Pacific Coast League if waiv- || ers can be secured. i Hal Logan, 2.05 1<4, the greatest } race winner along the Pacific coast, was foaled in 1911. =5 L 33 BARBIE TO INVESTIGATE But OHA. Sub-committee * Protest Fails. At a meeting of the sub-committee of the O.H.A., the protest of the Barrie Hockey Club against De La Salle, junfor champions of the 0.H.A. in reference to the age of John Cain, one of their players, was considered. The evidence showed that the boy John Cain was born in March 23rd, 1899, was baptized under that name, bit registered at "the Parliament buildings under the name of "Dennis Francis Cane," the original intention of the parents being to call the boy that name. his fact was eenfirmed by the parents. who were present, and also by documentary evidence. The committee were of the opin- ion that thé protest failed, but that, owing to the fact that the defence papers did not reach the Barrie elub within the proper time limit, that the Barrie club bé given a week to ascertain if they can secure any evid- ence in rebuttal. Finds Trotted 2.05 or Faster. Thirty-two heats were trotted during the 1917 racing season in actual yYard®® or regular speed con- tests, in 2,05 or faster. While thirty- five heats that fast were trotted, yet three were tin cups or against time, which in this day of extreme trot- ting and pacing means absolutely nothing except a vain fancy on the part of certain owners. This num- ber is against twenty-five heats trot- ted at that clip in 1916, but of this total eleven heats were over the tin cup route so that the odds are 14 to 32 in favor of 1917. Of the total forty-three heats in actual races trot- ted in 2.05 or faster in 1916 and 1917. Mabel Trask has won twelve heats, St, Frisco eleven, and Early Dresn seven, their respective win races being 2.02 1-4, 2.01 3-4, and 2.04 1-4. A ttt Paes: A rs BIDS FOR THE BIG FIGHT. Willard Does Not Want To Fight In September, George Blemer, fight promoter, returned to Fort Wayne, Ind., from Chicago, where he met Jess Willard and Fred Fulton, who are to fight for the world's championship. Blem- er announced that in all probabilty the bout would be staged in Fort Wayne, as he had offered $140,000 to bring it there. New Orleans is a bidder for the fight and 'has offered $150,000, Willard says he does not care to fight in September and for that reason will no doubt turn down the New Orleans offer. fident Willard and Fulton will fight in Fort 'Wayne," Blemer said. -------------------- British Athletes. In the beautiful and historic Villa Borghése in Italy the eagerly-expect- ed interatlied sports were held Mon- day.

The English won the first Royal prize and the Amerl- cans second in the 1,000-yard race.
