Miles, of Sidney Mines, champion marathoner, won the Cape Breton road classic, the Nathanson three- mile race, here Monday in 13 min- utes 28 seconds. Miles took the lead about three hundred yards from the start and increased it until the fin- ish, when he came {in about 150 yards ahead of Mike Sullivan, with Reid Ross third and Dan Macleod of North Sydney, fourth, + Sullivan and Ross staged a lively duel for second place, changing positions several times.

The infield fly rule applies with first and second or first, second and third base occupied with less than two out. At such times the batsman is auto- matically out if Wis effort is a fair fiy ball other than a line drive which, in the judgment of the umpire, can be handled by an infleldef. There is one exception. If with first and second or first, second and third occupied, and less than two out, any attempt to bunt which results ina fair fiy ball shall not be regarded as an infleld fly. That is the one case where an | apparent infield fly is not so re garded. t I... sth2, HISTORY OF LACROSSE. ; Li EE SPORTING NOTES AND COMMENT | Well, it looks as if we are due for another C.0.B.L. championship. With two wins in two starts, the prospects are very bright for Kingston winning the honors again this season. Sr mem-- The fans were rather doubtful about the Richardson Stadium being a good baseball field when they saw the players rapping the ball into the bleachers and over the fence in practice, but when the game started they $aw that it was not so easy when the balls were steaming over the plate with plenty of twists. Britton"s clout into the bleachers would likely have been good for four bases on any fleld, unless a Paavo Nurmi was playing in the outer garden. The Victorias and Circle-Six are now even and the next game should be a hummer. If the Circle-Six had lost the game on Monday the con- fidence that many fans have in them would have been dropped, but when they trimmed the Victorias to the tune of 14-7, it looked much better for them. No matter which team wins, Kingston is going to be répre- sented by a real outfit in the O.B.A.A. finals, | Book fuk yous dele fot Fes Riot Bock of Sports for boys or write for a copy to Sports Free Dominio Rubber Co, Lad.

The goals were situated from one to several miles apart and any part of the interven- ing landscape was playing ground. Contests often lasted a week, and the game was a gruelling task of courage and endurance. The ball used was of leather, filled with feathers, and of about the same weight and size as at present. Originally the goal consisted of a single post, and a game or goal was scored by hitting this post with the Later two posts were used, and goals Stored by driving the ball between them.

Fort Worth, May 22.--Johuny Sher- rod, 18, and a lightweight, learned to fight because he had to. And since he's learned he wouldn't trade his chances in the game of give and take for all he might get out of all other vocations put together. At the age of 12 Johnny Sherrod was left an orphan with the obliga- tion to take care of two younger brothers. He picked up odd jobs here and there----wherever he could find them, in fact About a year ago he took up box- ing, professionally. Until recently his fighting has been on the side -- what time he could spare away from & job firing a boiler in a metal works here.

He has aligned himself with Earl Puryear, a few years ago one of the cleverest of bantams. He looks to Puryear to push him along---maybe to the top of the lightweight ladder. 3 IANTIAIANINAMAE There is usually quite a bit of fear mixed with forced repentance.
