In the World of Sport A NEW RACE COURSE PLANNED FOR TORONTO Come When War is On ill Over--Options Sites. nw When the war is over there will | be a new mile track in close touch with Toronto. The Metropolitan Rac- Association, which has been forth at Dufferin Park for the past twelve years, will transfer | its franchise to a spot within about twenty minutes' ride of Toronto, on the line of the Grand Trunk Rail- road, within easy access by 'trolley car, and adjacent to the Hamiltén highway, which will satisfy the auto- { mobilists, An option has been secured on two ! or three sites for building an up-to- | date plant, patterned after the best | institutions of the kind in the coun- try. No effort, however, will be made | to build until hostilities cease abroad. | The Metropolitan Association will conform to all the edicts of the Can- { adian Jockey Club, which, it is pre- i | junction umed, will hold jurisdiction in con- with a racing commission | over all institutions in this country when racing is again established in Toronto, There meetings short this that possible was a report were made | year if the higher powers so wished. { But patriotism dominated when the question was broached, and those who wanted to race had few follow- ers of influence, hence the project was dropped. The moving the fran- chise of the Metropolitan Turf Asso- ciation to another location will elim- inate one of the half-mile tracks, and will leave Hillcrest Park, unques- tionably the best-equipped and most popular ipstitution of the kind in Canada, standing alone as a Toronto institution. HAL OHASE IN TROUBLE. The Red's Captain Susponded For In- different Playing. 'Hal Chase, captain and first base- man of the Cincinnati Nationals, has been indefinitely suspended because of indifferent playing, it was an- nounced by Manager Mathewson. Chase was under similar charge in 1913 while playing on the New York Americans, and was traded by Man- ager Frank Chance to the Chicago Americans. Storm: Wrecked Mutual Shed. The damage done by last Wednes- day's storm to the plant of the Con- naught Park Jockey Club, Ottawa, was far more serious than at first re- ported. 'C.

Detroit News: Young Mr. Keaney, rather fresh from Dallas, was pitch- ing for the Red Sox in the eighth in- ning Wednesday. Donie Ju' was on first and Ty Cobb was at tae bat. The recruit suddenly remembered that it was this same Cobb whe lift- ed the ball over the right field fence of the Texas League park, off him, during the training trip last spring. A chance to get even! So emulating the well-known "bean ball" king, Carl Mays, he tried to dust Ty off. His pitch came pretty close to the Georgian, who immediately rushed toward the box, carrying his bat with him. Ty was not very angry and it did not take any physical exertion on the part of Billy Evans to get him back to the plate. But his rush had its effect. The pitcher, not knowing » He American Baseball Lengue, and whe may resign as a re- 4565 400 st.

'When Bob Veach came to the plate he was still shaky and did not put any too much on the ball, with the re- sult that Veach banged one of the of- ferings between Strung and Hooper for three bases, scoring two runs. Although Detroit was leading at the time it was lucky that they made these two runs. An inning later Bos- ton put over two and would have come close to tying had the Tigers quit scoring before the eigihth, The instance was another case of where Cobb outwitted the opposition on a mere pretext. But while he was doing it he took time off to tell Carl Mays and his friends what might happen to them. In Tuesday's game Mays came dangerously near hitting Cobb and Veach, but they merely = | laughed at him. OLUBS ABUSE PRIVILEGES, as "Riding Good Horse to Death." After all is said and done, the fact | remains that the limit of patience | with a certain class of baseball mag- nates has almost been reached. The determination to continue after Sep- tember will undoubtedly crystalize public sentiment against the profes- sional game. There is nothing pa- triotic about stretching leniency to the limit, The idea expressed by U.S. Secretary Baker was: "Very well, run along and play your game, but have it over with by September." But now, instead of having it over with at that time, the magnates are edging up an extra day to get Labor Day crowds, and then propose to play their big games, with all the attendant publicity, after the time when the Government and the fans think baseball should be laid on a shelf until after the war. It is flirting with disaster, and Ban Johnson was right when he said; "Let's observe the law to the letter and get the whole thing out of the way this month." The players on | Such a Thing the pennant-win- ning teams have already indicated | that they will not put on their uni- forms after Labor Day unless a spe | cial ruling is made which will pre- | vent discrimination against them in the draft classification after Septem- ber 1st. GIVES $117,000 FOR SPORT. Red Cross Provides This Amount to Equip Soldier Athletes, A call for more baseball equipment has been received from Harvey D. Gibson,United States Red Cross Com- missioner to France, who states that balls, bats and uniforms are needed for at least 200 teams among the sol- diers.
