A general meeting of the Military Football League was held on Friday evening in the G.W.V.A. hall. H. C. Nickle occupied the chair. A num- ber | of important matters were brought up, chief among them being the reorganization of the executive, necessitated by the resignation of the president, Mr. Fitzgerald, and the secretary-treasurer, Mr. Adam. The following officers were elected: Presi- dent, George Young; vice-president, Sergt.-Major Tudwood; sercetary, W. Kershaw; treasurer, J, R. Forster. It was decided that a general meeting should consist of the officials and two delegates fro each 'of the teams, and the executive committee should be composed of the officials and one delegate from each team. Some minor matters in the inter est of the league were discussed at length, particularly the desirability of slight alterations in the field to conform to the regulations. Mr. Brown, of the 21st team, was ap- pointed fleld manager. A committee was appointed to revise the constitu- tion and submit it for Approval at the next regular meeting. Much satisfaction was expressed over the manner in which the games have been played and the enthusiasm shown by the individual players, who have made the league such a suc- cess. The interest of the citizens has been manifested by their attendance at the games sad during the remain- der of the season many splendia games will be seen. tI is expected that the schedule will terminate about the middle of September, but it is not the intention of the League to discontinue playing then.

The Canadian horses at Saratoga, other than those of Commander Ross, have not done much. John Lumsden, the Ottawa owner, has ta- ken down a couple of steeplechase purses, but William Walker's Har- wood, reported to have schooled won- derfully well through the Woodfine field, fell over another horse in his start and was himself injured. The Walker stable will" be shipped to Maryland, where the season Opens on Labor day with a short meeting at Timonfum. Messrs.

ALFRED SHRUBB'S PLANS Old Champion to Run Three Races Against McCrae of Scotland. London Mirror,~--Alfred Shrubb, England's famous long-distance run- Der, is back home from Canada after a spell there and in the States of 12 years. Shrubb, who looks just as fit as he did when breaking records in the old ddys, told the Daily Mirror that he will make his first public ap- pearance at the railway sports at Horgham Park August Bank Holiday, when he will act as Judge. Shrubb hopes to secure a race on the Horsham track in a fortnight. He is to race McCrae, of Scotland, over distances of three, five, and ten miles late in September. Talking with the Daily Mirror yes- terday, Shrubb, whe was 'accompani- ed by Nelson Smith, the promoter, who has brought him over, said that he wishes to prove that he if still champion at from two to ten miles. He wants to 'come back." In America he trained the Har- Who Will Win Here At Monday's Game ? Sn Everyone interested in baseball is looking forward to the postponed ex- hibition game at the Cricket Field on Monday afternoon between the Buf- talo Prospects and the Athletics. Such good showings have been made in the games previously played here that thare Is no doubt that the fixture will be one of the best of the season. The last time the Prospects play- ed here against the Athletics they were defeated by 3 to 2 in one of the best games ever staged in the city. The locals are going to try to main tain their record and two wins against the crack American nine will be quite a boost for them. How- quits a number of exhibition games in this district and are confident that they can register a win in Kingston. The game starts at 5.45 p.m. and ever, the Prospects have béen playing || the city league officials and "'Buff" Palmer want a large crowd out to cheer the home {eam. BASEBALLS TO COST MORE NEXT SEASON Baseball promises to be like golf next season in that the loss of a ball will hold up the game. There will be no more nonchalant throwing in of another, According to. sporting goods dealers, the best quality of lea- gue ball now retailing at $1.25, is going to be $2.50 next year, exactly double what they are now. They ad- mit that the quality will not be any better, if indeed, it is as good as the present crop. The high cost of labor and mater- fal is the reason given for the ad- vance in the cost of base balls. Horse- hide for the covers is said to be par- ticularly hard to get and high in price. The increased cost of the imple- ment of play will fall hardest on ama- teur and semi-professional clubs, of course, The leagues probably will be able to meet the jump by making harder efforts to retrieve balls that are fouled over the fence or into the stands. The fans' custom of keeping balls that come into their possession will have to be abandoned to a great extent. Appropriating a $1.25 ball is Just a pleasantry, but grabbing one costing $2.50 the copy will have to be classed as grand larcency, RIEL RECALLED, ~~ Bistoric Buildings In Regina Will Be Destroyed.
