Trainer Sam Hildreth is lamenting the fact that he didn't purchase Johren from H. P. Whitney when he offered the colt for $15,000 some time ago. INTERNATIONAL GAMES BEHIND FRENCH LINES Entries From All Allied Coun~ tries--Meet Near Paris in the Fall. The success of several minor track and field meets not far from the battle lines in France and Italy has lead to tentative plans for a real in- ternational test of games to be held during the autumn. At present the scheme has only been outlined in a general way, but the interest evinced indicates that such a series of events can be made usually attractive in view of the athletic talent available. The games, if staged, will probab- ly be held in or near Paris, and will include entries - from the English, French, Italian, Canadian and United States army, navy and air forces. Much will depend, of course, upon conditions prevailing at that time, but it can pe stated without fear of contradiction that ¥f the opportunity is favorable there will be a remark- able turnout of athletic talent. The United States forces abroad include a large number of college and club athletes of prominence in their particular athletic specialities, and the same ig true of those of Can- ad and England. France and Italy number among their soldiers many men who have, after several years of service, developed remarkable physical power and endurance, and from these there could be selected performers whose ability on track and tield would undoubtedly proye a surprise to other competitors. Under certain conditions such a meet, if it eventuates, might prove a wartime substitute for the Olympic games, which were scheduled to be held In Berlin during the summer The war naturally side- tracked all possibility of these games and there has not been a meeting of the Internatlenal 'Olympic games committee for many months.

Perty Quinn, the well-known To- ronto sportsman, has acquired the franchise of the Quebec Hockey Club and all its rights ir the NNH.A., or the National Hockey League, accord- ing to a statement made by JM. J. Quinn, former vice-president and manager of the club. While it is not definitely known as to what action is about to be taken by the new owner, yet he intimated to Quebec officials that he would probably operate the clyb ju Quebec. The old executive of TH¥ Quebec Hockey Club did their best to dispose of the franchise to parties in the city, but were reluctant- ly obliged to let it go to outsiders. The purchase price is not stated. Golfer, 75 Years Old, Wins. Dr. F. M, Caste of Cleveland, won the American Gold Medal Golfing Association championship in. the fourth annual tournament played at Glenview Country Club, Chicago. With a handicap of 20, the Ohio surgeon turned in a card of 142 net for 18 holes. Sir James Mackenzié, of St. An- drews, Scotland, won the foreign guests' contest at 18 holes, with a net of 90, his handicap being 10. Sir James is a delegate from Great Bri- tain to the convention, and was one of the leading specialists of London until he retired. He is seventy-five years old. Tommy Berry is authority for the statement that Miss Bertha Dillon, 2.03 i1-4, recently worked a haif over a two-lap ring at 1.01. He and seve- ral others are picking the Coxe filly to be the trotting sensation of the year. : Followers of the Canadian cireuit remember Eddie McBride as one great rooter any time he is "shoot- ing," but it is said that he capped all previous marks at Jamaica on Monday wher his former horse, George Smith, won the feature event.

A golfing event of more than usual interest will be staged at Brantford next Saturday, June 22nd, when for the first time in the history of gol games for patriotic punposes in Can- ada an amateur four-ball mateh will take place. George S. Lyon, of To- ronto, the amateur champion, part- nered by his son, Seymour, who has completely recovered from wounds and injuries sustained at the front, will be opposed by T. B. Reith, the finest and most finished player in the Montreal district, and Irving S. Robeson, president of the Country Club, Rochester, N.Y., who captured the north and south championship at Pinehurst last April in such a sen- sational style, with a spoon shot, from the bunker at the 35th hole. A very great deal of interest is being taken in 'this mateh and goll- ers from Hamilton, Woodstock, St. Catharines, Simcoe, Galt, Paris and other neighboring cities and towns will be present to witness the con- test. There will be driving putting and approaching contests and other attractions provided ahd the fourth oldest golf club on the continent is looking forward to the most success- ful day in its history of nearly forty years of golf. A gallery of zeveral hundred enthusiasts, it is expected, will follow the exhibition game, which starts at three o'e¢lock in the afternoon. As there will be no ex- pense whatever a goodly sum for the Red Cross is certain to be raised. COBB IS THE REASON, His Failure With Bat Makes De- troit a Weak Club. The fans in Detroit are clamoring for the scalp of Hughey Jennings. They have been demanding his re- moval as manager because of the very poor showing of the Tigers this year. They attribute this showing largely to the fact that Jennings let some good bal players, including Burns, get away from him. How- ever, Ty Cobb may be largely respon- sible. The Tigers have long been a hitting 'club, with their attack de- pending .on Cobb. When Cobb fails the Tigers fail. And this year the "Georgia Peach" is hitting less than .300 for the first time in twelve sea- sons. That seems to be the answer for the Tigers. Cobb will strike his stride soon, and when he does the Tigers will win more games, The Menace of Fletcher. Bunking with Arthur Fletcher, of the Giants has its hazards, to wit: Ralph Stroud was his bunkie, and soon afterward Ralph was expunged from the major leagues. Cholly Her- zof Téamed up with him next and Cholly was traded to Cincinnati, Then came Fred Snodgrass, now in the minors; Bob Bescher, who lin- gered with the Giants only a short while, and Tillie Shafer, who is out of baseball. Herzog returned to the Giafif%in 1916, and was assigned to bunk with Fletcher. Jokingly, Fletcher remind- ed him of the Jinx--but Herzog only laughed. "You can't put the Indian sign on me now, Artie," said Charley. "I'm back with the Giants to stay." But he's with the Braves now. And now Holke, the Giants' first sacker, who is doubling up with Fleteh,, is worrying. Miss Bjurstedt Retains Title, Miss Molla' Bjurstedt retained the women's Metropolitan championship tennis singles at New York when she defeated Miss Eleanor Goss, of New York, 6---2, 6--3, at the West Side Tennis Club. The playing was confined chiefly to lengthy drives. Connie Mack Goes To Law "Connie" Mack's unusual proced- ure in resorting to a court of law to nullify a decision of the national com- mission will not deter the Boston Na- tional League club from seeking to gain possession of Pitcher "Scotty" Perry, Dalter E.
