All you need to do is to hear it and you will see the differ- ence between it and what other dealers say will play all records. Why Buy Old fashioned machines that only play one style of record properly, then have some attachment that plays others in a kind of a way, when you can have the Bruns- wick at less money than the ordinary ma- chines. "Just hear the Brunswick," which has the new tone "Amplifier," automatic stop and every feature, that is good and is worthy of the Brunswick quality. The reason Brunswick phonographs are so low priced, in keeping with the economy of the timed, is that it is made by one of the largest and oldest wood working factories in the world. They have their mahogany forests and factories for every part of a phonograph. : TREADGOLD SPORTING GOODS CO, 88 Princess Street "Sole Agency For This District." .

'Hamilton will have plenty of hockey this winter. The aviators at Beamsville have organized for the coming winter and have made ar- rafigements to play their games in the Ambitious City. The Fliers have only an open rink at Beamsville and will use this to practice on, but in- tend to play their home games in Hamilton. 8 With war conditions to work un- der it is a very difficult task for the O.R.F.U. to keep the game going among the juniors. The "flu" has added increased difficulties, until it is almost impossible to know just which way to turn to keep things in rutiniig order. A club professional baseball play- ors is not wanted by the soldiers in France, according to an editorial in the Stars and 'Stripes, the official or- gan of the' 'American expeditionary forces, ' ONE OF THE OPTIMISTS.

Dunn, the president, "fully ex- pects the major leagues to resume operations in the spring and is al- ready making its usual arrange ments for the -next campaign. firmly believe the war will be over long before baseball weather ar- vives. "For some time of course the vari- ous clubs will have to operate with experimental talent. It will be a long time before the soldier players can be demobilized, and some of them in line for commissions will never wint to return. "What is more," I do not believe any people know what a flock of athletes Tyve gone quietly into ser- vice since the end of the haseball season. '1 have no exact statistics at hand, but I understand that at least twenty men from each of the major leagues 'have put on the uniformsof Unele Sam since September 1." ¢ 3 Rs DEMPSEY I8 WILLING TO BOX FOR NOTHING Will Be Delighted in Fact to Qet Chance Against Jess Willard. Jack Dempsey, heavyweight con- tender, and his manager, Jack Kearns, are in Philadelphia, where Dempsey will get ready for his match with Battling LevinsKy, to be 'held as soon as the lid is lifted. Regarding the report that Demp- sey and Jess Willard were to meet at the big benefit show in New York, Manager Kearns said: "If the promoters will get Willard to box six or ten rounds with Demp- sey we will work for nothing; that is, we will agree to turn every Lpenny over to the war other opponent for Jack then we figure on getting something for our- selves, as we have been doing no- ting but give benefit performances {or several months outside of the Fulton match. "We also have an offer to box Willie Meehan at Oaklands, Ca!, Nov. 7th, for some charity, but we are to get something for ourselves this time. A club"at Atlantic City, N.J., has also made a good offer for a match with Gunboat Smith or Bartley Madden. . We prefer Willard to any of them and hope that the New York promoters will land the big fellow for Jack." : ENGLISH PLAY BASEBALL, Soldiers in Barracks in Game--Lion. don Times Describes It. The baseball germ is multiplying rapidly in England as well as in France, where the game is now well established as a result of its por-* trayal by the American and Can- adian expeditionary forces. One can imagine the Frenchman's natural liking for. g sport that has S50 many thrills, but it is more diffi- cult to conceive of the Britigh adap- tation. The Englishman has never encouraged radical changes in lines of 'athletic endeavor and his preju- dice against baseball is natural be- cause he has hitherto viewed it as a mere offshoot of the ancient sport of cricket. The war, however, is slowly es- tablishing a foothold - for 'baseball here. An example of how the game is "catching on" is afforded by 'de- scriptions of the games played at the American .field days near Lon- don. A recent issue of the Lofidon Times says: CRS "Several thousand people gather- ed on Saturday afternoon round that part of Hyde Park which has been devoted to baseball. Two teams met in an exhibition match, and, to ev- erybody's surprise, these teams were not American, but English; soldiers from Knightsbridge Barracks, who had been instructed by a member of the American YM.C.A. In blue and red they looked the parts they were playing and they placed admirably, considering that they never even saw baseball before last July. Their batting seemed especially good; the fielding was not so good, and the pitching, though adequate, as critics say, was possibly undeserving of more than $10,000 a year. No man on the ground was better pleased than the American instructor, who considers that His PUP Have made wonderful progress in a short time. An American sailor umpired, and anothér American sailor, with two wounded Canadian soldiers in the ghest spirits, did all that was ne- cessary-¥h the way of advice and rooting for both sides impartially." Do Not Approve Semi-Pro Bill. Several American League club owners do not approve of the pro- posed semi-professional week-end baseball league planned for next season, B. B. Johnson, president of the league, stated. In communicat- ing this to him, he said, they asseri- ed they would not permit the use of their plants for such an organiza- tion. "The promoters plan a league of major league players and cities and a Saturday and Sunday sehedule throughout the season, as I under- stand it." Mr. Johnson sald. 'The expenses of such a project td be enormous and there nt be difficulty in obtaining ' players, as baseball is not essential . employ- ment." 1 adc ------ Leading Pacer Sold For $5,000.

Will Hughie, after twenty-eight years of continuous labors in the national pastime, re- turn to private life to spend the re- mainder of bis days in comfortable surroundings When he recently announced that he was going to France as a member of the Kuights of Columbus foreign service staff, he also told some intimates that he did not expect to return to the game when it is resumed after the war, Jennings is forty-eight years of As remarked above, he has seen twénty-eight consecutive cam- paigns and took active part in play until he cdme to Detroit in the spring of 1907 as manager of the Tigers. He quit playing that year aud has not resumed a position on the field. ~ * Hughie does not have to stick to baseball. He is well fixed. Stocks and bonds in his name will bring him enough revenue to free his mind a worry for the remainder of his e. Care of his future and when a man reaches the age of forty-eight he can well figure that he has done his shure of athletic campaigning. His only rival in the American League to-day is Connie Mack. The Phila- daoiphian has won more pennants taan Jennings and has been a man- ager longer in the American League than Hughie has, but outside of the tall and slender tactician of the Athletics, Jennings has the edge on everybody else in Ban Johnson's cirouit. The lure of the game is a great thing, particularly in baseball. They stay there well beyond their time," aud, although we do not mean to imply that Jennings has outlived his usefulness, we do mean to say that he did not have to stick to baseball and that he preferred it to any oth- er means because of the fascination that it holds. There are a lot of people connected with baseball who would still be connected with the game even if their income went into millions each year. That is one of the strongest recommendations that can be given the great American sport. Why Germans Are Atrocious, Willlam Heyliger, a writer of books for boys, advances the theory that the state of mind which makes German atrocities possible may be attributed to the fact that German boys have md national sport in which they may learn the ethics of fair play. They are mneitifer clean win- ners nor good losers, says the theor- ist, because they have no baseball. "Germany is trying to steal home," says Heyliger, "by spiking the catch- er, and cannot understand why the bleachers are jeering., Spiking the catcher is Germany's way of playing the game." The nearest Germany comes to having a national sport for its youth is the dueling -eontests-in}- the universities, where the students are proud to acquire scars from slashing each other, This is typical of the German temperament, Battlen Not Broke. Battling Nelson has issued an of- ficial] communique asking news- papers to refrain from publishing stories that he is dying or that ae is down and out. He states that 'he expects to leave St. Luke's Hos- pital, Chicago, in a day or two and that he does not need money, adding that he had to return 4 number of cheques sent to him. - " ational Smoke" Wirsons Te ons k / Smokers who appreciate the Tull satisfying flavor of carefully matured Havana leaf will en= Joy the Bachelor cigar.
