Napanee, Oct. 31.--The two local lodges of Oddfellows and visiting brethren formed parade last night and marched through the streets of the town to Argyle Lodge 1.0.0.F., headed by their band, the occasion being the initiation of new mem- pers. © The procession was a Very long one. The initiation team of the Campbeliford Lodge as well as deputations from lodges at other, points were in attendance to take part in the ceremonies. A successful bazaar and afternoon tea, yesterday, givem by the ladies of St. Andrew's Presbyterian church, was succeeded in the evening by an excellent concert which gave much pleasure to the large audience in attendance. The cantata, "Peni- tence, Pardon, Peace," with chorus of forty voices was beautifully ren- dered. The soloists were, Mrs. E. Burritt, soprano; Marvin Rathbun, baritone; Miss Helen VanLuven, pk anist; Mrs. J. E. Madden, organist, and conductor.

LIMELIGHT AGAIN His Canadian Pro. Causes Lots of Dis cussion. Seeing the futility of aiding and abetting the existence any longer of the Michigan-Ontario Baseball Lea- gue, George (Knotty) Lee, the To- ronto promoter, who was instrumen- tal in ofganizing the Canadian Lea- gue in 1911, as well as the Michigan- Ontario League in 1919, now comes forward with a plan to recreate the | Canadian League. The old Canadian League stayed its operation at the close of 1915, .| owing to the war, and even then was flirting with disaster, owing to the tact that the railway jumps from London to Ottawa were too costly | for the volume of business done on | the circuit, just as overhead ex-| penses 'are far beyond the expecta- | tions of club owners in the Michi-| gan-Ontario League. Since 1915 great changes have been wrought throughout centres in- | cluded in Knotty" Lee's plan. Am-| ateur baseball and civic pride laid the foundation for many years of summer pastiming, as enclosed parks with seating accommodation | and grand stands have sprung up in all the cities where senior baseball has held full sway since Armistice Day. | Senior amateur baseball, as play- ed throughout Western Ontario in| the Ontario Baseball Amateur Asso-! ciation, aside from creating a wealth | of enthusiasm and attracting - im- mense crowds, has not provided a high-class article of pastiming, and the organizatiofis behind the game could provide an entirely different order of things with comparatively little additional expense. | "Knotty" Lee's proposal to or-| ganize a class "C" league, affiliated | with the National Association of | Professional Baseball Leagues and | the protection it provides, is a real | incentive. His plan is to weld into the con- stitution of the leagues, which has been his dream for years, a proviso that each club carry no less than four Canadian-born players. This departure from the uspal in profes. sional ball throughout Canada is not a selfish motive, Aside from creat- ing that local atmosphere baseball harbors for home-bred talent, it should provide an opportunity to the cream of the Canadian players to de- velop for the major leagues. Ability of Canadian players is not question- | ed, but the development has been retarded because they have not been thrown into competition on the dia- mond with or against United States players who ate capable of retaining berths in the salaried ranks. The only Canadian-bred ball play- er developed in recent years, was Babe Dye, who was given his start by "Knotty" Lee at Brantford. Dye has played three consecutive ygars in the International League at Buffalo, and has been mentioned as major league timber recently. Pride in Canada for its athletics will not be denied, and there is no reason why United States money | should not be poured into Canada for baseball players, just like it is for the talented hockey player. It is a well-known fact that Canada is working overtime to keep up the de- mand for the latter. A Canadian league composed of cities in Ontario is desirable, and when these are linked up with Lon- don on one end and Hamilton on the other there is again no reason why such a circuit should not prosper.
