The local teams and their support- ers think it is about time they climb- ed into the winning column before hanging up their skatdz and gloves and both the local squads are going out this evening with that end in view, Queen's have captured one vie- tory so far and have tied one game. Frontenacs have played two ties but have no wins in the scoring columns and are out to take one at Brock- ville's expense this evening. They expect to put out a stronger team than at any other time this season and will try hard to win this even- fog and to eventually better the re- cord of Queen's for the year's work, which means that they must defeat Queen's in the next local fixture. Queen's should slip ome over on Cornwall this evening. Since their last meeting with the Factory Town boys they have run Belleville close and have defeated Brockville and there is no reason why they should not get the jump on -the Cornwall six. But they will have to keep hust- ling to do fit. There is a possibility that a local referee may be agreed on by the teams concerned. Oity Stuff Saturday. The city league supporters scarce- ly need to be invited to the double- header at the Arena to-morrow even- ing in which Bt. Mary's meet Live Wires and the R/C.A. play the Circle- Six. It is so long since city league fans have had a look at their favor- iteg that they will be keenly interest- ed in to-morrow's games and the popular two-bit admission is also an attraction which brings results. The city league has been handing out good hockey this year and will continue to do so. To-morrow n'ght's battles are going to be good. Don't miss them. CONACHER'S SERVICES MAY BE ASKED BY BOSTON Mayor Curley, of Boston, {s after Lionel Conacher to be physical in- structor in the Boston public school, according to a special from that city j to thé Toronto Telegram. "Conny" i is now attending Bellefonte Acad- emy, and plays defence on a Pitts- burg hockey team. The mayor also saw him in action when the "big train" played hockey with Aura Lee and visited Boston. The special quoted the mayor as saying: !'Bos- ton is seeking an all round director for the public schools. Why look further or id other words, what's the matter with Conacher?" The mayor then points to Conacher's many ac- complishments in athletice--rugby, baseball, lacrosse, boxing and wrest- ling. "The name "big train" seems to have applied quite as much to Conny at Bellefonte as when he with Argonauts. He is so good in baseball, the mayor declar- ed, that the manager of the Boston Red Sox had made overtures to him. He has also recently won victories in 100 and 200 yard dashes. He 1-2 inches.

Cleveland, Feb. 1.--The trading of one unassisted triple play hero for another and the passing of Catch- er Steve O'Neill, the last surviving hmember of the Cleveland Indians of 1911, were features of the seven- player trade made by the Cleveland and Boston American League clubs. It "was 'the largest baseball deal in which Cleveland has figured since Tris Speaker came to the Indians in 1916, and strangely enough that trade was made between the same two clubs. . The trading of Willir n Wambs- ganss, second baseman, who has the distinction of making the only unas- sisted triple play In a world's series game, for George Burns, first base- "man, who pulled the same stunt in a game against Cleveland last season came as no surprise. This deal has been "in the alr' since early in the fall. Incidentally, Wambsganss almost figured in" the deal which brought Tris Speaker to Cleveland. At that time Boston wag'to have the pick of an infieller, and Lee Fohl, then manager \of 'the Indians but now holding a similar position with the Red Sox; kept him on the bench and used Fred Thomas during the train- ing season. Boston is thought to have fallen for the fait and selected Thomas, who failed to last, While "Wampy" remained the star of the Indians. Besides strengthening the Indians at thelr weakest position, first base, the deal will give Cleveland the greatest wrecking crew it ever had, with six sluggers who last season batted better than .300 leading off. These are: Charlie Jamieson, If, «345; Homer Summa, rf, .328; Speaker, cf, .380; Joe Sewell, ss, .363; Riggs Stephenson, 2b, .319; and Burns, 1b, .328, The trading of O'Neill created a sensation among the local fans, with whom he was a favorite. He had given Cleveland some of the best catthing it has ever had. His pass- ing, it is belleved, will put the bur- den of receiving In 1924 on Luke Sewell and Glenn Myatt, with chances favoring the former.

And her name is Dorothy Snyder, | age 19, a junior in the college of arts | and science. In a recent elimination test Miss Snyder not only qualified for the boys' varsity squad but led the whole competing field with a perfect score. 8he is the only girl on the squad and the first girl ever to qualify for a position on a masculine team in the history of the university. West Virginia will meet the lead- ing universities of the country at the traps this year and Miss Snyder is expected to hold her own with the best of them. ok VIS Only Twelve According to the London Adver- tiser, Babe Dye gets $4,000 from St. Pats for playing hockey this season and will receive $3,000 for playing baseball with Buffalo next summer. And no person wishes more than the Babe that the figures were correct. Dye's salary with St. Pats is not more than half of the figure quoted, and there is some doubt as to its reaching that much. With Buffalo, he will get close to $3,000 for the season, it is true, which means that with his combined baseball and hoc- key salaries, professional sport is proving profitable for the Toronto lad. George Vezina, the goal-keeper for Canadjans, is rated higher Bratstreets than any other profes- sional athlete in Canada. The Chi- coutim! cucumber is credited with being worth $200,000, He owns the biggest part of the main street in Chicoutimi and owns § timber limit three miles square. But he needs to be wealthy, for he is the father of 12 children, despite the fact that he Is but 36 yedrs of age. Vezina does not have to depend on hockey for a liv- ing, but he loves the game and Mon- gieur Dandurand will find it hard to fill his place if the capitalist decided to retire.--~Hamiiton Spectator.

Four her imposing She was born records make up achievement to date. March 18th, 1908. "She is the only person, girl or boy, who ever made a world's record or won an athletic championship at her age," says Eck, Who is her train- er. "This coming season, outdoor and indoor, ought to bring some great performances from her. She expects to break every record she now holds and to add a few more to her list." Helen's greatest single day was on Labor Day last fall at the A. A. U. national outdoor meet in 'Chicago, when she broke two records. She made 16 feet 6 3-8 inches in the broad jump, a world's in 11.9 seconds, a new American record for girls. Then, with only a 12-minute rest between events, she entered the 75- yard high hurdles and finished sec- ond in 11 3-5 seconds. In the run- ning high jump she finished fourth, going 4 feet 8 inches. "To show she was a better hurdler than the girl time at another meet last fall. She went 75 yards over six hurdles jn 10.6 seconds, breaking the record by one second. "In an exhibition at Washington Park here she threw a two-pound discus 76 .feet 3 inches and threw the girl's javelin 87 feet 9 inches, throw, although it does not stand as a record. She also made 8 feet 1 1-2 inches in the standing broad jump without dumbbells. "At an earlier meet here, staged by the Illinois Athletic Club, she won the 50-yard dash, and in win- set a pace of 8 4-5 seconds, equalling the world's record. The same day she. broke the world's 60-yard low hurdle record in § 2-5 seconds." Helen Filkey was a delicate child until she was about 11 years old. Her mother took her to California for a year then, and she began her remarkable physical development by playing on the beach and taking ath- letic training. At 16 she looms up as the world's greatest athlete, McTIGUE MUST FIGHT FOR JACOBS, FORMER MANAGER Mike McTigue, world light heavy- weight champion, who believed he was free of all contract obligations atfer purchasing his release recently from Joe Jacobs, his former man- ager, now finds that he is still ob- liged to fulfill coditions imposed un- der that agreement, Including matches with Gene Tunney, Tom Gibbons and Ad Stone.

This was the gist of a declaration made by State Senator James J. Walker, before the annual dinner of the Baseball Writers' Association. The statement by Senator Walker, father of the present boxing here, and Democratic majority leader in the Upper House of the Legislature, was the first admission from an of- fielal souree-that the fistic game here is in a precarious condition. Reports have been current for some time of anti-boxing agitation, due to alleg- eg gaming, unpopular decisions and oth.r causes of dissatisfaction, but until last night they had not been given official cognizance. Within the past few weeks a num- ber of measures have been introdue- ed in the Legislature designed either to curb certain phases of box- ing, or abolish it entirely in the State. From other agencies, at- tacks have been levelled at the game, but so far belief has prevailed that no drastic measures will be taken. ------------. Robert J.
