CRICKET CORNWALL WINS LACROSSE MATCH Defeated Deseronto 6 to 2 Without Much Difficulty--. Keen Interest Shown. The trial lacrosse match put on be- tween the Deseronto.leaders and the Cornwall Midgets at the Old A"hletic grounds yesterday afternoon was 2a big success in every way, A large crowd of spectators gathered for the novelty affair and there was a good attendance of children. All of them, whether or no' they had any know- ledge of lacrosse, showed a keen in- terest in the game and it would not take very much to start it once more in Kingston. The Cornwall lads sized up as the better players, and 'his should be so, since they have very much more ex- perience than their opponents from "Deseronto and have been at the game longer. They ran, passed and stick- handled much better than the more inexperienced boys from the wes', who were stage-struck for the first three periods and only found their stride In the last, Two of the Deseronto lads attract- ed especial a'tention, one being the goal and the other outside home. Each one was about a foot high, but these little fellows put up a much better game than their huskier team | ma"es, The first . period, started off by Mayor Sam. Corbett, was fast and scoreless with the Deseronto goalie making some good saves. In the second quarter A, Lafave scored for Cornwall after thirteen minutes of play and F, Lafave for "he same team after fourteen minutes of play. The third quarter saw four more in quick succession for Cornwall, the scorers being E. Jourdin, 7 mins, J. Eagle, 9 mins., and J. Jourdin, two, 11 mins. and 12 mins, In tha last quarter the Deseronto boys seewled to find themselves in much beter fashion and secured the only two counters of the period, hoth being netted by Burley, fast home player for the lads with the green sweaters, . "Alfie" Pierce was conspicuous as one of the goal judges. The Deser- onto boys were coached by Harry Moore and the Cornwall lads by Fred. Degan, famous old lacrosse player. Mr. Harcourt of the O.A.L.A, was re- feree, and was given cheers by the Loys after the game. 0) 1 | | Nothing could indicate more cer- | tatnly the healthy condition of racing | than the high prices which are pre- vailing this season both for racers al- | | ready made and for yearlings. It is a banner year in this respect. When C. W. Clark disbursed $125,000 for the 3-yearpold Whiskaway; when Gif- ford A. Cochran is ready to pay $150,000 for the 3-year-oid Bunting and the 2-year-old Goshawk; when Harry Payne Whitney offers $100.- 000 for the 2-year-old Messenger, and when four other horsemen are will- ing to pay as much or more for the same colt--when such are the figures at which horses are being valued, then certain it is that those interest- ed in racing believe the sport to be on the firmest and most prosperous of foundations. In the Turf-World These are not the only high prices paid or offered for ready-made racers this year. There were the sale of the 3-year-old Snob 2d in the spring for $85,000, the sale of the 2-year-old Dunlin for $37,500, of the 2-year-old Bud Lerner for. an amount approxki- mately the same as that paid for Dunlin, the exact price not being old McKee for $35,000, and that of the 2-year-old Goshawk on Saturday, the latest of the big sales, for $50,- 1000. When -one turns to the conditions of the yearling market one finds the Same proof of the optimistic view cf the turf held by those best qualified to judge intelligently, The sale last Friday night in Sara- toga, when 43 yearlings from the Himyar stud brought a total of $214,- 200 for an average of $4,983 per head, shows the sound state of the market for racers in embryo, But this sale did not stand alone as an index of the times.

TEAM 'IS INTACT The Argonauts are claiming foot- ball prospects as bright as ever, as evidenced by the prevailing spirit and reports at their annual dinner. Many of last year's players attended the banquet and promised allegiance ta the Dominion champions, Dr. Jack O'Connor and Laddie Cassels were elected as coaches but there is likeli- hood that the greatest burden of the work will fall on the former, Cassels having stated that he is too busy to devote much time to football, Training season will be opened at the University of Toronto grounds next Tuesday. Argos will play their first game of the season against M.A.A.A. at the Scarboro Beach grounds on September 30th. The Double Blue officers expect to have last year's team intact and in such case they will again be the team to beat for the Canadian title. They claim the following players: Back- field, Sullivan, Moss, McCormick, Hennessy, Cotton, McCurry, Cona- cher, Ba!stone; quarterback, Coch- rane, Mackenzie and Dinsmore; fying wing, Stirrett; outside wings, Fear, Burt, Polson, Fisher. For the line there are Earl, Wallace, Heustis, Remeril, Ogden, Young, Hyslop, Spring, Pugh, Hay and several others. The teams: Cornwall, Haven't Lived In Vain i Deseronto.
