We should hear from those in charge o7 the stadium and the O.A.L.A. offic- lals this week. The purpose of this game is¥wo-fold: to give the Leaders the experience 'hat they need and to introduce lacrosse into Kingston and the surrounding small towns 50 that they may put teams in the field this summer, if not, in the spring. Every boy in Kingston who is 12 years of age or under would be admitted free and a secticn of the stand will be re- served for these little chaps. The ad- mission - would be about 25c. for everybody. It is thought that this nominal fee will meet the heavy ex- penses of the Cornwall lads who would have to come by train, amuse- ment tax, printing, advertising und the emaller expense of getting the Leaders into Kingston.
