The Kingston Circle-Six baseball team left to-day for Brockville where they were slated to meet the Ottawa East team in thd third and deciding gamé of the series for the right to enter the mext round Ta the Ontario playoffs. The team left the Walsh & Derry corner shortly befdre one o'clock to-day amid the best wishes of the local fans and the hope was expressed more than once that the boys would bring home the third game. * The team was in the best of shape | and expected to give the Ottawas | anothers defeat although they realiz- i ed that they would be up against a! harder-fighting team than the one | they met here on Wednesday. They | did not overlook the fact that the Ot- tawa East team was playing under! great difficulties owing to the fact 'that they had had a long drive in a motor bus and they expected to have to go the limit to beat the Ottawa team to-day. It was expected that Manager Derry would start Howard Reid in the box." It was also ex- pected that Twigg of Kingston and Wylie of Ottawa would handle the game.

The local seniors left this morning for Oshawa, where they were to play their last scheduled game of the season. The players will have a rest until next Saturday, when they step into Peterboto to open up the final series with Peterboro. The game here on Wednesday, August 26th, will very likely attract the largest cvrowd of the season of any game here. The fans are already asking about tickets for this big attraction and the early birds will be the ones to get the seats in the bleachers. There is some talk of starting the game at 5.30 in case of extra innings, but this point has not yet been definitely decided upon. Teams have to go some to play nine innings of ball starting at six In the event of Wednesday, the 26th, not being o'clock these evenings. a perfectly clear evening, the teams might find that extra half-hour mighty useful. Far be 1t from us to tell the officials what they should or should not da, but it does seem as though a little earlier start would make things better for having nine full innings at least, with a chance for overtime if necessary. ' There's a tang of fall in the morning breeze, There's a trace of haze on the sky line wall, There's a flight of ducks to the summer seas, And a tint of brown where the first leaves fall, Signs of autumn everywhere. The tang of the sea, and the morth-wind's rage, But nfore conclusive than all of these Is A of Queen's of the sporting page. --Ottawa Journal. During the season there were some pretty curt remarks passed about ball players, officials, scorers and even the sport writers, but it is evi- dently all forgotten. In the junior league in particular, where the interest was high, there were some things said that were anything but complimentary, but all bands have showed their good sportsmanship by forgetting it all and backing up the winner to go into the playoffs. That's the way of sport all over, that is, real sport. The Toronto Globe says that Karl Quinn will be the "Pep" Leadley on the Tiger backfield this fall, but Dr. Quinn, who is in the city at the present time, does not deny that he will be ih Ottawa this fall. The Queen's Athletic Board of Control is in receipt of a request from Balmy Beach of Toronto for a game this fall, but it is very unlikely that the Beaches will be accommodated. There are no more open dates for Queens' outside of the one they have arranged with M.A.A.A., as they will bg busy for four straight weeks. It is doubtful if the Balmy Beach Club would be an attraction here. ¥ ~~ Argonauts are getting ambitious. They are anxious to arrange an exhibition game for Sept. 26th, and will issue a challenge to Queen's Uni- versity, which will likely be aveepted, as Coach Bill: Hughes plans to start the Tricolor away on the training grind earlier than ever this season. The game would help*both squads, and put them in good con- dit 2 for the opening games. --Toronto Globe. Queen's will be in Mont- real on the 26th of September, playing M.A.A.A. an exhibition game.
