LATEST | LOCAL | SOCCER ENTHUSIASTS "STARTING ONCE MORE Association Badly in Need of Support But Determined to Carry On. + A general meeting of the King- ston and District Football Associa- tion was held in the G. W.V.A. rooms last night to consider the outlook for the coming season. The financial and general reports for the previous year were presented and approved. The treasury showed & very slight 'balance, though not nearly enough to secure the medals voted to last year's winners, nor to start the organization out on an- other schedule. It was moved and carried to wind up last year's reports and commence new bukiness. The officers elected for this year are: Honorary executive, Major-Gen- eral Sir Archibald Macdonell, Major- General Elmsley, G.0.C. M.D. No. 3, Wm. Harty, Jr., Wm. Casey, B. N. Steacy, Col. Foulkes, Mayor Angrove, Leman A. Guild, W. R. Givens; pre- sident--8gt.-Major Mcintosh; vice- President, T. Partiss; secretary- treasurer, E. Warburton. It was moved that all clubs or in- , stitutions Interested in soccer be notified that applications for mem- bership in this year's series must be In the hands of the secretary-treas- urer on or before Sept. 20th next, ac- companied by the entrance fee of five Be. SPOR dollars. The entrance fee was changed from five dollars for per- manent membership to five dollars per year, as the assocfation could Ro longer carry on without all possible financial help. . The Kingston and District Foot- ball Association was formed in 1920 and has carried on a series of games each year since that time. Support has not been very good but the smail circle of enthusiasts who yearly launch the series once again have managed to also raise enough funds to keep things going. This year they look forward to a better season than any in the history of the organization. TEAMS ARE ALL READY FOR SOFTBALL FINALS The dates of the Frontenac County Girls' Softball League playoff be- tween Sydenham and Wilton have been set and the first game will get under way tomorrow at Wiiton with the return match at Sydenham on Wednesday next. Both games will commence at two-thirty and the teams will have any number of en- thusiastic supporters. Rev. Roy Blacklock, secretary-treasurer of the league, has found far more enthus- fasm over the girls' games this sea- son than he ever dared hope for and many fans have been awaiting anx- iously the dates for the finals. Both teams have been chosen for the big matches and are as follows: Wilton--Hazel Frink) ¢; Helen As- selstine, p; D. Neilson, 1b; I. Burt, 2b; L. Peters, 3b; A. Babcock, ss; E, Emberley, ss; L.

This morning after breakfast with a little time to &pare, | I wandered dow: the yard to pick the ripe tomatoes there, I picked a few and took the last of all the peas and beans, Then glanced next doorand saw at once one of the strangest scenes. My neighbor stood at his window, his face with lather thick, His right hand held his razor, in his left he grasped a stick Of crayon, which he used to make a mark now and again pon a little card stuck in tHe cor- ner of the pane, I watched each sweeping razor stroke across his smiling face, | With every scrape the razor made I noticed he would piace A crayon mark upon the card, 1 gazed and wondered why. And all the way uptown I mused: Where did the secret lie, I reached the office early, but 1 found Bob in his chair. Now Bob's been late each day for years, I couldn't help but stare, And as he talked upon the 'phone I saw he'd slashed his cheek.

S------ i Colonel Jake Ruppert's notion of an ideal baseball game, according to the semi-facetious remarks of his friends, is one in which the Yankees would score 15 runs in the first inn- ings and the other side wouldn'i get a hit or a man on base in nine inn- ings. | Colonel Ruppert is the owner of; the New York Yanks, a terrific base- hall fan and a great sportsman, but he has a decided aversion against] close games. ! When the Yanks were sharing the | Polo Grounds with the Giants, the Colonel used to be a daily occupalit of the press-box, and the tide of the game could be registered from his seat. When the Yanks would be! 'way out in front, the chair would! be occupied with a smiling chest- | fouffed colonel, but when a pinch | <wame, with a thrilling rally by the! opposition, the chair would be empty. | In marked contrast is the case of Harry Stevens, the caterer who made | a couple of millions selling peanuts, | *"'dogs," cones and soda to the crowds | at the races and the baseball ames; in New York. i Stevens has his office and head-! quarters in the dark caverns under the concrete stands at the Polo Grounds, and he emerges, hatless, | 1 only when the big excitement is on. He has too much to do to sit through the monotony of a one-sided game that thrills Colonel Ruppert, and he has so thoroughly learned the meaning of various yells and shouts from the crowd that he knows Just what is going on and when to come out just in time for the big doings. Another good type of the fan un- usual is Ferry Grogan, the genial wire chief in the . two New York parks, who has been watching base- ball every day for more than 20 years. Millions of words about thousands of games have passed over the wires that Grogan sets up each day for the writers. Perhaps because he has seen so much of it, read so much of it and heard so much, Gro- 8an has long ceased to be a fan. He can't name the cleanup man in two of the 16 batting orders, he doesn't feep track of Babe Ruth's home run record, the noise of the crowd bounces off his ears, and the collarless and perspiring profusely, | <= 'New Fox Trot and all the latest Re- cords are received and on sale first at Treadgold Spor 88.
