In the World of Sport - Sporting Notes John MoGraw ys that there is absolutely no reason why baseball should be adjourned for the war in the United States, John's inability to see the reason is sald to be due to the fact that his weekly pay envel- ope will become more weakly than ever. |g y vt The Toronto Leafs should have no difficuity in hanging on to the top pag in the new league until the end of the season. The Jim MoCaffery aggregation will not leave' the Queen City again this season. Before the wind up on Labor Day they meet Hamilton, Rochester, Binghamptlon, Jersey City and 'Buffalo. George "Mooney" Gibson, the only Canadian in the big leggues, played a good game when McGraw's Giants walloped the Toronto Leafs the oth- er day. "Mooney" went from Pitts- burg to New York last fall. He is chasing the half-century mark, and has a boy at the front. He halls from London. There was too much DePalma at the New York automobile races the other day. With the exception of winning five heats and busting about four records, the speed king had an off day. Ralph Mulford and Dario Resta had to be satisfied with get- ting second and third ribbons. A New York girl who was never heard of before, broke the w ! record for a women's 880-yard- a few days ago. Her name was Claire Galligan and she made the distance in 13 minutes, beating the former record by two minutes Those Hamilton players are fak- ing no chances on the new Jeague ending before they get their money. They have wired Pres. Farrell to "come acros or they will quit the former Syracuse club immediately We cannot blame the players, for the way Hamilton fans feel about them they are likely to starve to death in the Ambitious City. Petawawa Camp Athletic Notes. The weekly athletic events at the giant Petawawa military camp are growing in interest. The 12-Ib. shot- put was the event held last in which 800 men participated Points were given for every inch over 18 feet and the total points of the highest fifteen men in each battery decided the winner. The Y.M.C.A. is giving a medal to the highest point winner in each battery and a solid gold medal to the man making the high- est number of points in camp. silver Hospitality To Americans All the leading British golf clubs have invited members of the Ameri- can forces to accept their hospitality and play over their courses. nnn 807 Princess Street. Telephone 1931 BASEBALL TO BECOME FRENCH ARMY ROUTINE Ministry of War Issues Order Recommending Adoption of the Game. Baseball playing is to become aj regular part of the physical training of the French army as a result of reports made by French officers on what they had seen of the effects of baseball on the American army, The reports led the Ministry of War to issue an order recommending the adoption of baseball in the French army, General Vidal recently sent Capt. G. Forbes, an American officer at- tached to his staff, to the headquar- ters of the Knights of Columbus with 2 request tthat John Evers, the for- mer-baseball sta, be sent to his carps to instruct the soldiers in the game. The request was granted, and Evers will go to the French camp, w (h two assistants, and equipment provided by the Knights of Columbus. He will remain a fortnight, after which his assistants will continue the in- struction. Baseball Out of Question. No attempt will be made to reopen the American League parks next year. Even if it should be possible to use players exempt in the next draft, President Johnson would be sustained- in his -determination to keep the gates closed until the war is over. Johnson contends that the Government doesn't favor profes- sional basqpall in any form and that an effort to keep the sport alive un- der limited conditions would not meet with popular favor. It is pointed out, that baseball was attracting the usual patronage until Secretary Baker declared the sport "non-essential," whereupon the at- tendance figures began to decrease until at present may of the ball parks are practically empty. In short, Johnson has arrived at the conclusion that baseball will amount to nothing unless the Government's attitude is changed, which 'is entire- ly out of the question. The National League, too, will suspend operations until peace is restored. . Who Can Answer? What is going to become of the forty or fifty ball players over or under the draft age who are not af- fected by the *'work or fight" order? Will they try to force the club owners to pay them thelr salaries for the en- tire season? They are said to be rea- dy for a test ease on the ground that they are ready to fulfil their contracts up to the close of the regular season, and that the leagues could have con- tinued without their stars and with- out Government opposition. Race Until Oct. 26th, Horse racing in'New York State will continue until Oct. 26th, The con- cluding events will be run at Empire City track. PRINCE ARTHUR GLAD TO MEET OLD COMRADES OF THE FIRING LINE |SASEBALL PLAYERS TO DEMAND SALARIES Club Owners in Quandary Re- garding Contracts Running . Until Oct. 15th. | It is understood that the major 'league club owners will get together yin the near future to consider what will be done with long-term and iron- {clad contracts held by players who are not amenable to the "work or fight" order until the new draft law goes into effect. These contracts call for salary up to and including Octo- ber 15th. The pennant races will end on September 2nd, after which all but the Cubs and Red Sox will close their {parks . The players who are under {and over the present draft ages have notified their employers that they will claim salaries up to October. 15th, and that if théy are not paid lawsuits will follow. It is said that about $100.- 000 is involved, and that the magnates are in a quandary. i | Attributes Luck to Skill. i Louis Chevrolet is known as the luckiest driver in the auto racing game He has escaped death as though by a miracle a score of times, and his minor accidents have been innumerable. Some say that the daring Frenchman has a charm- ed life, but Chevrolet lays his good fortune to something else. To begin with, Chevrolet is no fatalist; he be- lieves in the law of percentages. While luck may have played a big part in some of his escapes from death on the racing track, Chevrolet believes that what others are pleas- ed to call luck is due largely to his 'preparation Lor a race, his skill as a driver and his perfect knowledge of motor mechanics. Lindsay Wants To Play. The Lindsay Town Baseuall Leagug has concluded one of the most suc- cessful seasons in its career. In fact, for four years past the sport has been "dead."" Four teams Rlayed a com- plete schedule, finishink as follows: Oddfellows, F. B. Wilford Company, Woodmen of the World and Arsenal. The 1.O.O.F. team won ten games out of twelve, and the Wilford nine out of twelve. The league also had a | splendid financial season, with some 350 to be divided among the four clubs, The exegutive, Messrs. F. Mar- tin, M. J. Dedman, and Ford W.

That baseball is a ht preparation for one branch of the military ser- vice was shown recently when Gordon Sarre, an American member of the Foreign Legion, established a new world's record at Fontainebleau for throwing the hand-grenade, Sarre threw the death-dealing grenade a dis- tance of 70 meters and 50 centime- ters, or nearly 215 feet. A few years ago Sarre was a ball player on one of ! the best known preparatory school | teams in the United States. | The former record of 66 meters and 67 centimeters, made on the Fourth of ! July, is also held by a former baseball player named Shockers.
