Smith can play better ball than he did last It was just not his night and show up to far better advant- As for Victorias, they deserve all kinds of credit. They form a smart ball club that will take plenty of beating. 'They have worked hard to get themselves in shape, they have team play, they can fleld snappily, they have the necessary confidence now and added to this, they had any breaks that were going. Thig does not take away from their' victory, however. Breaks or no breaks, they would have won the game anyway and they are to be congratulated upon the start they have made. It looks like a finished junior team in the making and they will be much heard from before the season is over. In Pennock they have a smart catcher, who knows how. to handle his job. He has a nice throw to sec- ond and can use his head. The Gib- son boys as per usual, are plugging right along and showing better stuff every time they come out. Young Mel, Gibson looks like the real thing but his two brothers are no mean ball players either. The rest of the team is coming along well and in Jamieson they have a pitcher that knows a thing or two about slab duty. All this boy needs to do is to keep on like he's going now, keep tis head and he will be one of the best pitchers ever turned out around this part of the country.

Cairns and Hardill are more than likely to be the opposing pitchers in the Peterboro-Kingston clash at the George Richardson Memorial Sta- dium on Wednesday evening when the schedule of the Central Ontaric League opens up. This announce- ment is greeted with satisfaction by local fans who figure these two lads to be good opposition, one for the other and here is a chance to see some classy pitchinf™ The Petes have not beer able to get down to brass tacks in practice as yet but "Shiner" Johnson declares that even though his team may not be at full strength, he figures on a win anyway. Of course that old alibl "stuff about under-strength is the bunk "when it comes down to hard cases and if you happen to ba looking in the gate when tha teas trot out for the preliminaries, "Shiner's" outfit will be there with their glad rags on, "Red" Legon and all.

They may show some action in the next game with {the Vics, -- lucky win or a gift, as the score alone indicates. The would have beaten Circle- It was no way the Victorias played ball last night, they Six at their best. And maybe the girls' softball games didn't attract a big crowd. The junior game was beginning to be somewhat deserted when the fair maid- ens, excited by the long hits that were being made, started to scream in their excitement. The result was theres was an exodus from the junior game over to the girls' tussle to see what all the yelling was about. They saw. Perhaps {t.was because it was the opening game and things were not quite settled, and it can be overlooked for the first time, but it is to be hoped that the executive of the junior league, together with the players and umpire, will see that there are no more half-hour delays in starting the games. Last evening's game was scheduled for six o'clock, and it was six-thirty before the game got started. Fans don't want that sort of thing and it is to be hoped that the officials, the powers tht be, will see that the games get away as per schedule. That will make the league more popular than ever. It will draw bigger crowds, for people know then they can get down, see the game and be away to whatever evening engagement they have without missing any part of the game. And one word to the fans--that is, to those who do not contribute anything at the junior games. These uniforms that you see the players wearing, cost money. The balls, the bats and all the other equipment all cost money. The games have to be advertised and a ground-keeper has to be paid. Now, such being the case, when you attend the games, give what you can towards the &xpense. You see good baseball with an odd exception once in a great while when you may get a 'poor game. Remember that real sports are willing to help pay the expense of good sport. These teams do not play within gates and they are relying on the generosity of the fans to see them through. Don't be a plker. Go to the games and slip in a quarter or a dime, or even a nickel if you haven't anything more to give. Don't stand back and let a few do the financial supporting all the time. The softball game is becoming more popular than many suppose. it would. It is no uncommon thing for a softball game, especially when the girls are playing, to lure half the crowd at a hardball game away. It doesn't take all night to play a softball game and there is something doing evedy minute. Despite the declarations of the dyed-in-the-wool hardball fans, softball is here to stay. holes for the locals to crawl through. Everything is set for the big oren- ing. The Mayor has his arm in shape to start the season off and the Kingston players are aching for a chance to get into action. The ouly thing that can stop it now is bad weather.

In view of tHE fact that there is no '| agreement between the Calder cir- cuit and the proposed International loop it is difficult to see how there has been, or can be, any violation of territorial rights or privileges. Pér- haps it would be nearer the fact to say that there has been an invasitn of territory in which the Interna- tional had signified its intention of operating next winter. Unquestion- ably there has been a clash of inter- circumstances, and the players reap- ing any benefit that may acc're to a war among rival hockey leagues.
