From Picked Team. At the Labor Day Celebration at Falr Grounds yesterday the peo- had any amount of bascbali te act their attention and in spite 'two or Lhree very heavy showers, f absence of two team managers and some of the players, the whole programme was carried out. The first contest was between Ius- #ars and A. Davis, ahd wes won by uy league champions by a 14-2 ai. the runs being scored in Hussars were going dh ag field get wet and Cur- Fan's hooks would not work with a wet ball. From then on they were not anywhere in the running. Ourran started on the mound aad for five innings held the Quinn tribe scoreless. Then the rain came and In the sixth Tanners got four, in the seventh six, and when "Ted" Blome- A went in in the eighth got three more. Both pitchers got very poor support once the game started to nst them and there wae evid- of "quitting" which has heen a to Hussars all year, and ito: which they might have taken city league title. "Ourren was touched-for-10- hils, 'Blomely for four, Karl Quinn for seven, and B. Fenning who reliev- od Quinn in the last inning, for one safe one. Curran struck out seven an seven innings, Blomely two in one inning, Karl Quinn nine in eight innings, and B. Fenning two in ofle inning.

Only four or five of the Ath- letics showed up and the team was made up of "Del" Cherry from tne sidelines and others of the Hussars who had just finished their game. Cherry played in left field, at third and behind the bat and turned in a fair performance each place, picking off one hot one at third like a vet- eran at that bad corner. Homers were thick during the game. Rice collected onc, Spencer one and Compeau two. Tanners started off with three rune in the first inning, but their opponents worked hard and in fourth the standing was 9-7, in the fifth, 9-8, and then Tanners scored again and with their pitcher gone Athletics were stumped until Lexis Rice walk- od into the box and proceeded to show that he is some twirler. It was getting late for baseball and the crowds was getting tired so the match was calied at the seventh, with the score 10-8 for Tanners. The score by innings: R. H.

STRONG SUN FAILED 10 SCARE RUGBYISTS About Twenty Out for Initial Workout of Limestones on Saturday. Saturday was built for boating, swimming and cool drinks as far as temperature went but the strong sun failed to keep down the ambitions of local rugby players and about twenty men were on hand for the initial "kick-about'" of the Limestones on Saturday afternoon at the cricket field. They kept two balls soaring in the air for a couple of hours and as odd enthusiasts knocked off and rested others turned up and filled in the gaps. Trainer "Jock". Blake and Major Victor Willlams were on hand to watch their squad's first appearance and were satisfied with the number and eppearance of the players. There were many expected who could not attend on Saturday but the usual roil call should have about thirty names on it once regular practises start, . Among those on the field were: J, Fleet, H. Madden, A. Twigg, W. Shaw, B. McCarthy, K. Douglas, B. Edgar, W. Dungan, J. Geoghan, A. Harrison, 'J. Aykroyd, and many others with more or less football ex- perience. The Limestones have equipment at the plate; THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG GENERAL REVIEWS FROM THE OUTSIDE--LOOKING IN. | Amy old time that there is any doubt about Kingston having players of senior calibre we'll just trot out the senior city crowd and let them perform. People do not seem (to realize that their class of ball ds about as good as the eastern section of the C.0.B.L. had to show thls year. up arrangements and players out of practice, yesterday's games were not Yet they showed some mighty classy expected to be anything wonderful. baseball and something worth watching all the time. The work of those enthusiasts who have been working up the city football league here is certainly to be commended. From baseball sea- son until hockey season there is nothing to attract the young fellows in Kingston who are not attending any school or college. The Limestones' Club offers an outlet for the energies of many of them. "'Shag' Shaughnessy took into the mountains with him a group of Be careful that he does not bring back with him a squad of man-eating young grislies.

When Belleville defeated Ottawa St. Pats in the eastern semi-finals of the O.B.A.A. senior series they surpnised not only St. Pats, but most of the fans in this section of the country also. They had the same case against Dainty--opractically--as Kingston has against the Picton team, only the infraction in the intermediate series is worse. It is too bad that track sports--running, jumping, tug-o'-war, and such things--are not generally encouraged in our schools. In OM Coun- try schools what we term the minor sports are just as important as the next thing and are perhaps much better because they give more young- Yesterday's gathering, at the Fair Grounds showed con- sters a chance. clusively that the youngsters would approve of them.

R.M.C. a good run for the honors. Cherry, "Bill" Evans, and three old RM.C. stars in the persons of Brownfield, Evans and Fanet, have stated their intentions of turning out and there should be little diffi- culty in forming a team. -------- King Off The Jockeys. Earl Sande, king of the presenmt- day jockeys, earns in the mneighbor- hood of $75,000 a year, as much as the president of United States is paid to represent 100,000,000 peo- ple. Sande is under 30, with per- 'haps several years of big earning capacity before him. Then increas- ing weight, grim tragedy in the lives of jockeys and women, will end his riding career. Sande is an in- telligent young man who is pro- longing his life by strict abstemious- ness.

That Inverary ball team you've all heard about, Is made up of mén both short, tall and stout, Homely and handsome, some fat and some lean, But as fine -a ball club as has ever been seen. Now there's Catcher Bill Arthur, you all know his well, He goes round Inverary and cuts a big swell, He's our champion base stealer, with his big pad and mite; We are always afraid that his trous- ers will split. Then there's Captain Frank Loney, a pitcher is he, He shows up the batters as slick as can be, When he picks up the ball and he gives it a fling, It goes over so fast that it makes the mit ring. Billi Denee can pitch and excel at first base, His fast ball goes o'r at a terrible pace. The ball goes so fast that it burns off a seam, If you spit on it then you could see the thing steam. Then wo have long Bill Welsh, a first baseman is he, His antics out there are a wonder to see, He can sland on one car or he'll throw himself flat, He'd be lost on first bag without his felt hat. Bill Leaman is next, he plays at short stop, He gathers up grounders with a sort of a flop. He tears his pants sure when he slides for a base, But he always comes up with a grin on his face. When Roy Leaman bats, the ball goes with a howl, But he pulls up round second when someone yells, "foul!" He shakes a mean hoof when he gets @ sa' hit: With hurried- and not have to supply TIMELY COMMEN1S Still The Most For The Money |. the ball on the heath. He is safe on the base by the skin of his teeth. Oh, yes! There's one more I'd for- gotten about, When he comes to the bat he'll itkely strike out' He's not much of a player, the rest all know it. If he can't play ball he may yet make a poet, there's manager Dradér to finish this rhyme, The worst job he's got is {o start games on time. He doesn't like errors but he loves a home run, When we win a game he says, "Aint we got fun!" Next Now this Inverary Ball Team that you've all heard about, That is made up of men, short, and stout, While the players can't catch, can't run or can't bat, Is a darn good ball team for all of that. --F.
