If the O.B.A.A. were as efficient and strict as Secre- tary Dulmage led Kingston people to believe, and if its constitution is worth the paper that it is written on, this protest should not be necessary nor should the Picton team be in the play-off: : Kingston, Aug. 31.

Peter Manning Creates A New Track Record n-- At Readville, Mass., on Aug. 30th Clyde the Great, black horse, piloted by Tommy Murphy, captured the Massachusetts 2.08 trot for $10,000 the feature of the third day's grand circuit race meeting. The Murphy horse, after coming in third in the first heat, beat Eleanor Guy and Favonian in two spectacular fin- |ighes. : In another feature Peter Manning trotted a special mile against time in 1:59 clipping a quarter of a sec- ond from the track record he estab- ished last year, ; All Are About Even. "Of Mathewson, Johnson, Cy Young, Ed. Walsh or Rube Waddell, which is rated as the greatest pitcher of all time?" asks "a reader. Cy Young won a hundred more ball games than any other pitcher has ever won. Mathewson held the ad- miration of greater crowds, and Johnson, with a losing team, has been the marvel of two decades. « There is no basis for any fair or correct judgment. Cy Young, by winning over 500 games for twenty- two years, was the most durable-- one of the greatest, Young, Mathew- son and Johnson have all been great enough to hold an equal place along the plateau. The longest baseball game on re- cord is the thirty-inning 3-1 game between the Broklyn A. C. and the East End All:Stars at Cleveland, July 4th, 1907. ARTILLERYMEN HELD DISMOUNTED SPORTS (a) Section V. on page 26 of the 8gt, R. J. Graham Won Cham= pionship--Events Run Off With Precision and Zest Intercollegiate track meet officials should have some of the local mili- tary men to plan their events for them when the meet (is held at Queen's--it would save much time and trouble. Yesterday afternoon the dismount- ed sports of the Royal Canadian Artillery Units stationed at King- ston were held on the Lower Com- mon at Barriefield, A good crowd was on hand for the events and Capt. Alfred Light was present with his band to add color and attractive- ness to the tourney.

(M.A.), who se- cured two firsts and two seconds in the events in which he entered. Much better time would have been record- ed had the ground been in better condition but the closeness of the contests kept the spectators "on their toes" all the time. The hundred-yard dash final be- tween Gray and Derome furnished a thrill and a hard task for tne judges as the two men were neck and neck for neariy the whole dis- tance. The results were: 100 yards dash, first heat---Sgt. Graham, Gr. Homerton, Gr, Wilson, time, 12 2-5. 100 yards dash, second heat--Sgt. Derome, Br. Baulne, Gr.

FIRPO IS A GREAT EATER 'Qives Steak and Eggs Worse Licking Than He Does Partners. Luis Angel Firpo at his meals in Atlantic City, N.J., is as interesting as the Firpo of the boxing ring. What he can do with his fists oun a punch catcher is as nothing com- pared with the treatment he gives an inch and a half thick sirloin steak smothered with 'fried eggs. The Argentine gladiator is one of the greatest eaters the boxing ring thas known, Dr. Juan Relly, an Irish- Spanish specialist, who is making a study of Luis Angel for the Unt- versity of Pennsylvania and various health institutions and foundations, declared today. The man Jack Deuipsey will meet for the world's title September 14th, insofar as eating is conecrned, is following an idea directly opposite to those of all the great American trainers and specialists. He eats eggs and meat and fruit three times a day in great quantities and nas compartively few vegetables on his plate, In a single day the food that Pirpo takes contains, according to Dr. Reilly, about 7,000 calories more than those in the food of the huskiest of longshoremen. The calories in Luis Angel's food are about 3,500 to the meal as com- pared to 3,600 a day for a long- ghoreman, and 2,600 a day for the professional man, or white collar worker, "This man Firpo is no ordinary modern being," said Dr. Reilly, "he has come down through the ages a real gladiator. In phychological studies of him I found things entire- ly new to me and puzzling. He trains his mind as jwell as his physical self and seems to know just what will happen when he meets Dempsey. What this knowledgn is, I, of course, don't know. But I am of the opinion that Dempsey will have a great man against him." Mrs. Vanderbilt Pays $30,000 for Sarazen -- Mrs. Wiliam K. Vanderbilt paid. a fancy price, said to be $30,000 for Sarazen, the two-year old chestnut gelding, which has been runnmg in the colors of Pat Chinn and which is unbeaten in three races, two at Chicago and ome in New York. The colt has made such a favor- able impression ,particularly in the race a few days ago in which he won easily from H. T. Waters and Pick- Pocket among others that many horsemen expressed the opinion that Mrs. Vanderbilt did not pay too high a price. Sarazen is by High Time, the son of Ultimus, which gets horses of great speed, out of Rush Box, which was sold at one time for only $70. Rush Box was a farmer's mare for twelve years and was well aequaint- ed with the plow and the wagon be- fore she was purchased on tae off chance that she would make a good brood mare. It is one of those peculiar twists that amount almost to a turf ro- to one of her being sold for $30,000, even ough he is a gelding with the son may train on Oshawa's career in the playoff for the C.0.B.L. title was short but It may have been hard to lose out after winning the series but it was open violation of rules and could not be ) However, Oshawa fans have the satisfaction of knowing that their team gave Belleville an awful trouncing.

Monday is Labor Day, on which only scribes and those who cater to public amusement work, and in com- mon with their usual custom -the local Trades and Labor Council has arranged for a big programine of sports at the Fair Grounds, There will be all the usual spoils and attractions with a few additional ones thrown in and the attendance provided good weather favors us, should be as big as on a Fair Day. A feature of this year's cclebra- tion will be a baby show, prizes for which have becn domated by H. C. Nickle, There will be two classes-- under six months and from six months to a year old and there are prizes of $7, $5 and $3 in each class for the lucky babies. The judges have not as yet been announced but we do not envy them their task for there are some mighty fine babies in Ee ey could not help be- ing so many, when they have such fine mothers. A regular baseball festival is also on the bill this season with the thiee city league teams fin competition. The two-game tournament was ar- ranged some time ago and on the draw for tho bye Athletics won out. The first game wiil therefore be play- ed between Hussars and A. Davis and the second between the winners and Athletics. Those fans who think one team or another better will now have a lust chance to size them up--and all on the same biil. The Trades and Labor Council al- ways make their celebrations attrac- tive and this year's promises to bo even better than ever. The proceod- ings of the day will be wound up by a dance in the Labor Hail in the evening--after which there will be no more general holidays wuatil Christmas. take advantage of this one, How Sir Thomas Lipton ., Earned Tip on Liner Sir Thomas Lipton arrived in New York recently in the White Star Liner Cedric, having come to inspect his yacht Shamrock before it sails for Britain. "Last time I went across," Bir Thomas told an interviewer at Euston, "I made some moncy, and I am hopeful I may make some more this time. I was promenading the deck, when a passenger came along, gave me a shilling, and asked me to place a deck chair in a shady corner. I obeyed, but ever afterwards that passenger ran when he met me. Maybe he thought I wanted another shil- ling." Regarding the 'America's cup, to win which he has made four at- tempts, Sir Thomas said--""It is a remain in America now that they have nothing to fill it with." Sir Thomas said he had definite- ly decided to make another chal- lenge to America next year for toe race in 1925. His new yacht for this race is to be built in Great Britain, and the question of ils design is still unger consideration. Man Would Not Ilay. Leslie Mann, outfielder, property of the Cincinnati Nationals, was the direct cause of a game between Corning and Creston, Ia., being for- feited to Corning, when he refrain- ed' from playing because the op- positig team had an "outlaw" play- er, on advice of commissicfidr Lan- dis. ---- Marry Manush, who jumped the Omaha Western league club, was in- cluded in the Corning lineup. The Creston team, following Manns o0b- jections, refused to play. Dan Patch holds the 'world's pac- ing records for one and two miles; Elastic Pointer for three miles and Marconi for five miles.
