The Missouri Mule Abroad. | A long-and patient but vain effort on the part of a khaki-clad driver to induce a mule, drawing what ap- peared to be a load of laundry, through the gateway of a local hos- pital, afforded considerable amuse- ment to the boys in blue who were | watching the proceedings. The mule would do anything but pass through the gateway. 2 "Want any 'elp, chum?" shouted one of the boys in blue Lo the driver, as he rested a moment. "No," replied the driver, "but I'd like to know how Noah got two of these blighters inte the ark!" A jolly good fellow is one who a > POOR FOOTBALL OUTLOOK. Only Two Teams Now Left in O. R. F. U. Senior Series, early and abatement of the epidemiie influenza there will be organized football in Toronto and throughout the pro- vince. Officials of the various leagues and unions are constantly receiving notices of default from clubs which find it next to imposs- ible to muster enough players to make a team. Following upon the announce- ment that the Parkdale team would not fulfill its senior schedule dates, the Dentals of the same series issu- ed a statement Wednesday night to the effect that they would not play any games for two weeks 'at least. College of Dental Sur- geon$s has-been. closed indefinitely. Most of the players of the Denia) team have gone to their homes. Only two O.R.F.U. senior teams remain, Beaches and Camp Niagara. The latter team is under quaran- tine, thus precluding the possibility of playing any games with Beaches or 'anybody else.

CARNEY, Authority on Trapshooting Topics. One of the singular things about the recent Grand American Handi- €ap Trapshooting Tournament is that there wasn't a perfect score made in any one event --- in fact, there were only three runs of more than 100 made during the entire five days of shooting. The nearest thing to the perfect score was the three 99s that tied .for first place in the Chicago Overture. In this event - last year four shooters tied for first place with 100 and 11 others broke There were just as many good shooters this Jas sa last, but they didn't break e 3 R.

Boys Now Overseas to Furnish Big League Material. The war has wrought changes in American institutions, BULTIt is doubtful if baseball mag-' nates in the past would have thought of looking to the firmy for diamond recruits. Such is the case at present, however, and it is not unlikely that after the close of hos- tilities many youths who have worn the khaki of Uncle Sam will change for the uniforms of major league clubs. Reports from prominent baseball men, now serving overseas, are to the effect that there are plenty 'of young men playing the .zame Ye- hind the lines in their spare hours who are well worthy of a trial with the big clubs. In fagt, several have urged their. former managers to either, come over or send a . scout across to see the type of men who is being uncovered in these games which many times are played with- in sound of the heavy guns. They are superbly trained, from a physical standpoint, and handle, themselves, both at bat and in the field with the perfect confidence and pose which alone. comes from excellent condition and discipline. While but few are at-present quali- fied to enter hig league play, there are scores, according to the reports, who are right now better prospects than the average mdnor leaguer of recent seasons.
