They had had plenty of campaigning in Maryland and on the Canadian courses through the spring and- summer. Donaghee, a New York bred son of The Curragh and Mabel Strauss, a product of John Sanfords Hurri- cana stud, which has given Cana- dian racing many fleet runners. and Canadian thoroughbred production scores of valuable stock horses, has worked almost as swiftly for Smi.h at Saratoga as any 2-year-old rac- ing here, That is saying a Jot for there are some fast 2-year-olds about this season.

The local juniors have had a long layoff but They should give a good account of them- have selves. The date of the return game has been fixed for Wednesday mext here. This evening at five-thirty the Kingston intermediates will meet Picton in the return match of the first round of the playoff. Thé Picton nine is one game up on the locals but the senior city's winners expect a dif- ferent result to-day. The game is being played in the Fair Grounds. Now that the other baseball groups have either finished up or gone into playoffs, the Mercantilers are having their entertainment once again and the amusing part of it is that their cup is about the finest of any of- fered in the city. Printers, we are glad to say, have taken their first game in the second round--even if it was by default. (While other fields, and even lawns, are dried and scorched, the Rich- ardson Memorial Stadium looks as if it had come through a beautifully wet summer. The playing field this fall will be a hard one to surpass. Paint on the bleachers would now make an even greater improvement. The formation of the city rugby league 18 a 'wise move and should pave the way to greater things. Some people were thinking of en O.R.F.U. team but the time is hardly ripe for that yet. The city league will give the Limestones, Kingston's city team, an opportunity to get established. Last year it was reported that Miller Huggins was in danger of los- ing his job as pilot of the Yankees. This year it is reported that the job is in danger of losing him--as he is tired of the strain of looking after temperamental ball players. It 'would be a great satisfaction to Kingston fans if Kingston should run into the next round of the O,B.A.A. intermediate playoff with Syd- enham. Many conjectures have been made this year as to the relative merits of the Kingston city league squads and the Sydenham team. nets. His first Blue Bonnets race, probably, will be in the Hockelaga handicap renewal. Fanny Bean, a stout distancg run- ner, as ane all sons and daughters of Zeus, a star of Canadian 3-year-old racing some twelve years back, beat Commander Ross' Flag of Truce in the Niagara purse at Hamilton. She was a useful mare in Canada in June and July.

With the horses of Mrs. Clark, Donohue will take to Montreal his wife's flat runner Listen Dearie, a daughter of a. daughter of Trojan and Ansolenna and a very fast horse in muddy going.

Willard Says Dempsey Will Get Big Surprise Unless Jack Dempsey wins from Luis Firpo within four or five rounds he 'will not win at all in the opinion of Jess Willard, former heavyweight champion who is in Chi on a visit. Firpo, he said, remited him of Jim Jeffries. 7 "In my opinion it is a *Issup," the former champion said. "They are BULLDOG - both tearing fighters who rip and slash and hit with Mttle regard for boxing and it is merely a question of which lands the first hit. Firpo, more than any other fighter I have ever seen reminds me of Jim Jeffries He hits like Jim used to and hg con- ducts himself in the ring wita about the same general taotics that the former champion used to. And I'll tell you he can hit. Don't let them tell you this guy is a setup for the champion. He has a right and lately he has been learning to use his lef: In my opinton his barnstorming tous 'has done him a lot of good. He has gradually worked himselM into using two hands where formerly he did little except jab with his left and swing with his right. "I consider Dempsey the greatest QUek starter In the busines wut I do belicve that unless he cops in five rounds he will not cop at all. I hon- estly believe Dempsey is going to ger the surprise of his life when ha goes against irpo." ------ A | THINK BATS MUST QO Trick bats must go, President Ban Johnson Las declared such bats ta- bed.

According to Joh ison, there are about a dozau'olber men in the league who will have to dis- card their old Sails, but he proferred at tc make public their nan es Auother practice of batters is to cover the hitting area of thel- sticks with short nails, the elicct of matal when meeling a ball csn be easily figured. George Sisler, not a few seasons ago adopted this schema to add speed to his drives, but later dis- carded it. y In his bulletin, on the subject, Johnson stated that any a'hlete caught using a bat that does,not con- form to regulations will be aulocmati- cally subject to five days' suspension without pay. No protests of games In which an illegal bat was discovered will be recognized. cm -------- ONTARIO JUNIOR GOLF, Championship Tourney Planned for Early September.
