LocAL S37 CR NGSTON TOOK OPENING GAME defeated Reusrboro Here Sat- _ Urday by 13-2---"Bubs" Britton Got First Homer.. Kingston walloped Hardill of - Peterboro for thirteen runs while tes were only able to collect from Cairne' deliveries in the Baseball League at. the ) Richardson Stadivm Satur- afternoon. The game was offici- opened by Mayor Angrove and " r Manley Baker before a "frowd of about seven hundred, the or tapping out the Mayor's delivery. "Bubs" Britton won . the prizes for the first home run of "the season when he winged a circuit © clout into the bleachers in the eighth frame. The champions proceeded to wal- _ 10p the apple hard from the very 3 Inning and collected eleven hits Off the youthful Hardill. Kingston Shoved two runners acrGss the plate in the first act, Teepell drawing a 'walk, Halbert tapping out a double, 2 ® sacrificing and giving Tee- i a passage in and Cherry riding @ ball for a single to score Halbert. hd J Bl game of the Central Ontario | A single by Halbert and a double by Batstone added another in the fifth up to thirteen; enough to convince even "Shiner" Johnston that it was all over but the shouting. Peterboro managed to slip one runner across after collecting three hits in the fourth, and two more singles in the climax netted them their second ang last score. Bruce Cairns twirled an effective, steady game and allowed Peterboro {but five hits, three coming in the | fourth and two in the las: inning. Twelve players fanned the air ia an {attempt to connect with his de- Hveries and he refused to hand out any complimentaries. Besides that he robbed Hall of a nice single when he hauled down a sizzling hot mes- sage in the sixth inning. Jimmy) Arniel was his old self behind the bat and handled the receiving end nicely. ! "Jeff" Hardlll displayed plenty of | spéed but outside of that his per- | formance was nothing out »f the or- dinary. He did not .seem to mix | them very well and passed four men | to first "free of 'charge." He was | | struck for twelve hits, had an error | marked against him and collected a | Boose egg in the batting column. | Seven men breezed against his | twists. Bruce Thompson appearad In left { fleld and lost no time in showing the | fans that he is as good, if not better, than ever. Hardill felt as if he was , being stuck up for fair when Thomp- | son chased after a beaut!ful clout | from his bat in the fifth inning, lunged forward, speared the ball and turned a flip to come up with the { horsehide resting safely in his mitt. | Halbert and Batstone also appeared in the spectacular role, Halbert pull- ing down a high one after ascending a few feet and Harry nabbinz a | scorching liner from Collins in the | eighth. "Bubs" Britton only had| one to handle at short but collected | two hits, his homer slapping against | the stadium wall only about a foot from the top. Peterboro were without services of Swanston and Heckman as neither coitld make the trip. Heckman is {not in form yet, according to Peter- boro dope, but will get down to work soon and will be ready to prance about the mound. Collins, the junior, who caught Whitehouse here two years ago appeared with the mask on and handled the position well. "Shiner" Johnston aired his lungs considerably at the twinsack, had four assists and figured in a dumb- bell play in the fifth frame, when Harrison picked a fast one off and Batstone about fifteen feet off sec- ond base but no "Shiner" there to complete a double play. Judging from the way the players were clouting the ball Mato the bleachers in practice, it looked as If there were going to be plenty of cir- cuit clouts but Britton was the only player who had enough ginger be- hind his swing to land the ball there. Home plate is situated near the south end of the grand stand, the batter facing the middle of the | bleachers. ; Box score. Kingston.

KINGSTON WON AT BELLEVILLE Ninth Inning Rally Gave Them a 4-2 Victory Over the @rand Trunks. (Special to The British Whig.) Belleville, May 25.--Failure fo hit in the pinches when men were on the runways lost Belleville the opening game in 'this city yesterday with Kingston as their opponents. The score was 4-2. The game tied going Into the ninth and Ouellet, who, up till that time had the Ponies baffled, weakened and walked the second man after Cherry had grounded out. On a hit and run play Purvis singled, sending Thomp- son to third. Purvis then stole sec- ond. Britton singled to score Thompson and sending Purvis to third. Arniel grounded to Meagher and on a flelder's choice Pur- vis scored, sewing up the game. Young was an easy out to end the frame. Walter Gerow used two pinch- hitters in the ninth but. they were both victims of foul flies. Up until the time of this blow-up the game was very close with neither side having an advantage. Young, who was Ouellette's opponent on the hurling heap, pitched a fair game but he received sensational support from his team. Halbert and Cherry making nice plays in the pinches. Ouellet struck put eight getting Bat- stone three times Young whiffed four. For the locals "Peeny" Mills play- ed a sterling game being grand de- fensively but a little weak with the willow. Mills has not got his bat- ting eye. There was one of the largest crowds present that has ever graced a Belleville ball game it be- ing the occasion of the opening of the new agricultural grounds. ' The grounds are spacious, there being no ground rules of any sort. A fine covered stand has been built and all can be seated to watch the pas- time. This win gives Kingston a real chance to stay in front for the entire journey as they won in two starts. The box score: Kingston.

Belle- BRITI CIRCLE SIX DO COMEBACK STUNT Defeated: Victorias In Second Game on the Holliday by 14-7 Before Big Crowd. Playing a brand of ball entirely different from that of their first game, Circle Six defeated the Vie- torias by a score of 14-7 before a very large crowd at the ' Cricket Field, Monday morning. Four twirlers, Jamieson and Fournler for Victorias and Buck and Smith for Circle Six were used. Buck twirled nice ball for seven innings and part of the eighth, when he tired and the Vics started to pound the ball hard. Jamieson lasted five innings and part of the sixth, pitching neat ball for the five sessions but allowing a string of hits In the sixth. Circle Six started determined to the first inning a walk, two hits apd a sacrifice allowed two runs. One more was added in the third on a walk and a hit and in the fourth an- other runner crossed the plate, glv- ing them four runs for a start. The Victorias snapped into it In their | fourth chance and four hits netted | the same number of runs, tying the | game, but in the first of the sixth | the balloon went up. Reid, the first | man up, winged out a nice single and he was followed by Sullivan, who drew a walk, Macpherson slam- med a hot one down to S. Gibson, lacross the plate with the run that | broke the tie. A double by Powell and Joyce and singles by C. Smith, | Buck, Reid and Sullivan allowed | seven more runs, making the score , 12-4. Fournier replaced Jamieson | after Circle Six had batted around | fn a row while [and after allowing two hits, retired | the side. . Circle Six, determined to run up a big score, got two more In the | eighth on an error and two hits and | practically cinched the game, Vie- { torias staged their rally in the last {of the eighth, Connolly starting the parade witle a double. Pennock, Fournier and S. Gibson each tapped ,out a single. Smith replaced Buck after two runs were scored. Albert- son also got a hit, scoring another run and the last, giving the Viec- torias seven runs to fourteen of Cir- cle Six. Smith struck the next two batters out and the third was thrown out at first by C. Smith. Neither team scored in the ninth inning. The ball played was of' the "kill the hotsehide" type, Connolly tak- ing the honors by driving out a beautiful circuit clout into right field. M. Gibson and Jamieson each contributed triples and Tetro, Joyce, Reid, Powell and Connolly collected a double each. Circle Six touched the Victorias' twirlers for fifteen hits while the Vies eollected eleven from the deliveries of Buck and Smith. Although Buck and Jamieson were forced to retire, they both twirled very good ball. Buck turn- ed ten away without connecting and Jamieson forced seven to fan. The relief hurlers went on the carpet in ticklish situations but each suneceed- ed in drawing out of the hole with very little damage. Fournier fanned three during his term of three inn- ings and a half and Smith struck out the same number in two ses- sions. "Bud" Macpherson appeared at second again for the Circle Six and besides accepting five chances nicely he seemed to give 'the finish to the team. "Jerry" Arneil played a very neat game at short and gave the crowd the usual spectacular stuff by running back and pulling down a bh one which looked good for a ety. On two occasions Victorias allow- men to reach first base safely who muffed, and Reid went racing] turn the tables on the Vics and in| | { IG SPORTING =| NEWS Years of insure to One Cigar Blend experience and modern ufacturi which Never Changes | when they should have caught them lout. In the early stages of the game a high one was knocked into the field and both Gray and Vince start- ed after it, with the result that neither caught the ball. Again one was hit some distance past first base in the air and Stone attempted to make the put out, dropping the ball when it should have been the fleld- er"s catch.
