Sprague Cleghorn too much to sell him to the new Mont- real professional team or any other organization, sald Manager Leo Dan- durand to Eddie Gerard, mamager of the Montreals, in declining to con- sider an offer for the veteran defence player. The Montreals were anxious to secures Cleghorn in time for Wed- nesday's battle against the diens, and Eddie Gerard had been in- structed to close the deal before Wednesday evening or not at all. He met Mr. Dandurand Wednesday morning, prepared to submit a pro- position involving the transfer of the. champions' captain to the new local club but the former stated that after carefully considering the mat- ter he had decided not to, part with the player. have been rife as g A "FROM THE OUTSIDE LOOKING IN . To-night at Brampton the Pride of Kingston sextette line up against the Brampton intermediates and there is much speculation as to the out- come. The local team left at noon, followed by the best wishes of the local hockey fans. They will return Saturday afternoon and (here's hoping) with a victory. a, Tonight an exhibition game fe scheduled between Sunbury end Irish. men at the Arena and a good game should result. ' The Irishmen have been Playing fast hockey of late and are favored to win, but the Sunbury boys ane just as confident of coming through with a victory. The seat sale for the game on Monday night at' the Arena has opened up 'wide and the fans are taking up the pasteboards as fast as they can lay their hands on them. Azother packed house seems to be the order of business for the game on (Monday. The baseball fans are tuming over in their minds the question of baseball dn Kingston for the coming season. There seems to be very few in favor of professional baseball for Kingeton. There is no beating around the bush about it, Kingston cannot support pro. ball and it would be a losing proposition. Such is the opinion of a great many fans, who have been heard to pass their remarks on the subject. Before the intermediate hockeyists have hung up yet, a City League baseball fan wants to kmow if the City League is going ¢0 be run again ext summer. Secretary Buffam says it is. The bowlers in the Industitial League have been showing some great Scores and the boys can throw a mean ball down the old alley. The Bears looks about the best team in the bunch end are favored to cop the cham- plonship of the lealue. 1 According to the schedule of the County Hockey League, Cataraqui are slated to meet Battersea on Saturday in the junior series, while Verona are slated to méet Sunbury juniors. The Irishmen are well up fn the race for the championship of the Bay of Qu League and the beautiful Bay of Quinte trophy will very likely rest ® again. ' Some of the ladies are rolling big scores on the alleys these evenings. Miss A. Brunke, who bowls with the 'Woolwonth bowlers, is one of the best lady bowlers in the city. The Kingston Tennis Club, which operated so successfully last season, will be a greater success than fast year, mocordiig to tennis enthusiasts in the city. A great many took up the racquet last year and an even greater number is expected to turn out this summer. The Juvenile Hockey League prospects were none too bright when the seaon opened, but to-day the juniors are going strong gnd the games that they have played to date have been hard fought and clean. More power to the kids. "Eddie Collins is certain to he a big success as manager of the Chi- cago White Sox." So remarked Ray Schalk, famous catcher of the White Sox, to me shortly after the announcement that he would succeed Johnny Evers, "Collins has everything that goes to make a great manager," continu- ed Schalk. "His record as a player is an in- spiration to every athlete. They know: their leader knows his stuff. "In addition, Eddie has the cour age, proper temperament and the ideal disposition. Bvery White Sox will want to do his best for Collins, and after all, that is half the battle for a manager. So Won't Be Last, "l am willing to go om record right now that the Sox won't finish in last place the coming season. "My one hope is that I will be in good shape during the 1926 cam- paign, fit to give Collins my best al thereby contribute my mite to his success. "Last season, during the month that he managed the club while Johnny Evers was ill, I was only able to catch a couple of games, due to a broken finger. I never wanted to play more in my life. "Just say for me that the White Sox are not going to be soft pick- ing this year and that every player on the ball club will give his. best. The team to a man is for Eddie." 1 'wasn't at all surprised by the remarks of the brilliant little catch- er of the White Sox. That's the kind of a fellow he is. : Strong for Collins. I seriously doubt if there was a single member of the team more pleased than Schalk over the ap- pointment of Collins. As a matter of fact, Collins is ex- ceedingly fortunate in having so great a catcher to confer with on the many angles of the game that con- front a manager. Last season several injuries handi- capped Schalk in his play. If he can catch from. 75 to 100 games for Collins this season, it will mean much to the team and the manager. Collins is a profege of Connfe Mack. The instruction he received as a player from Mack is certain to be of value now that he is a manager. First Aid to Leaders. At Chicago he played under Kid Gleason for several years. The two are the direct opposite as to types, so that Colling has had a broad schooling. During the reign of Gleason, Row+ land and Evers as managers of the Chicago club, Collins was first aid to them. § No brainier, more capable player ever wore a pair of spiked shoes than Collins. He should be a. big hit and vie with the other star play er managers, Cobb, Speaker, Harris and Sisler, for high honors, clubs. AN of them have a ban on spring work.
