Indoor Baseball, | The Kingston Garrison | Baseball League was re-organized in the fall of 1922 and since that time |there has been a great deal of en {thusiasm apparent among the mem- {bers of the units concerned. The {league originally consisted of ten teams, but another unit was admitted pefore the playing season had com- menced, and shortly after this one of {the teams dropped out of the league, [thus leaving five teams in the two | groups, The league was organized to stim- ulate recruiting in the various militia {units, as well a8 to promote good | tellowehip between the members of {the military fraternity of Kingston. In this 'he ideals of the officials have {been fully realized, and it { dpubt- { ful if there are any sport leagues in {the eountry that have shown beiter | sportemanship, with no protests and few arguments, than has been {brought out in the garrison associa- tion.

In the nkmbar of events, their high class, ond the crowds who attended, the year just drawing to a close has prob- ably made a record in this city and next yaar is looked forward to as oliering even greater possibilities. Queen's University has, of course, been one of the big in the sporting life or the oity. Kingston own teams and organizations 8 sporting fleld, but the big part in Canadian Athletics by 's has given this city sporting which only half a dozen other in the country enjoy, bringing the best players in the senjor end junior groupe of the leading amateur unions and leagues in the Dominion. 5 Hockey. Owing to the formation of two new O.H.A. groups including Frontehacs, Belleville, Brockville, Cornwall and Queen's in the intermediate rating and Frontenacs, Brookville, Cornwall and Queen's in the junior section, Kingston had a well¥filled season of O.H.A. games in the first three nionths of the year. e Intermedi- ate group was taken by BelleviMe, Frontenacs giving them their fire de- feat In Kingston, and the junior Frontenacs had a hard tussle to place an intermediate team on the ice but showed up well, while their jun- lors, even though stil young and inexperienced, made & very good re- cord. Queen's were juet a Mtile be- low the mark of the Belleville team in the intermediate, but thelr juniors carried all before them and went on until St. Andrew's, Toromto, stoppad them in the semi-finals, ; In intercollegiate circles Queen's again figured quite prominently in hockey.

However, a few statements re- garding the units raised during the war might not ba amiss. Suffice to add that the Canadian militia was the backbone bf the Canadian Ex- peditionary Force throughout the war, and was previously the stamping ground for our country's most pro- minent military men of to-day, It Was the nucelous of that 1fttle force which miled from Valcartier to Eng- land in 1914, and it continued to furnish a stream of officers and men until Armistice Day,-over four years later. The total enlistments for the dis j trie totalled over 60,000, and the |easualtios, killed and Mounded, num- jbered 12,000. - Among the various units radsed for service overseas, besides the many drafts and unattached men who were lowing: Infantry--2nd, 21st, 38th, 39th, 50th, 77th, 80th, 109th, 130th, 136%h, 136th 146th, 154th, 156th, 156th, 207th, 224th, 230th, 235th, 240th, 247th, 25%nd, 253rd, and 364th Bat. talions, Ci.

The County Hotkey League had a busy and enjoyable season. There were a few disputes, but they, for the most part only added to the fan, now that they are past and gone, and their number is being reduced every year, A junior group was introdue- ed to this league and is now going strong, in competition for the Smith Blitott Trophy, donated by Ra Elliott.

Indoor basaball is a sport that is taking an increasingly stronger hold locally, The Kingston Garrison In- door Baseball League held a very successful season last winter, with teams entered from the various units of regular forces and militia. Games were played in the Armouries. This teason the sport is again going well. Ten teams are entered in the title race and over one hundred players, with their many supporters obtain a iot of enjoymen' from the matches. which ars usually played on Tuesday and Saturday evenings, i Tennis, Tennis, one of the best of sports, was well patronized in Kingston dur- ing 1922, although not followed to the extent it enjoys in some other centres.
