THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG Tuesday, July 13, 192 MANAGER DALEY morrow's Gam - =Petes Play On Wednesday evening at the Fair Punds, there promises to be all 8 of good baseball for the fans Will doubtless turn out in large ID8rs to see the Peterboro and ston tems in action under new tions as far as games in King- are concerned. Hitherto games either the Belleville or Peter- teams In Kingston have been or less foregone conclusions to majority of fans, although it is © that Belleville gave Kingston bad scare in one gama, Bince the Peterboro team last ap- peared in Kingston they have bol- stered up to such aw extent. that they Were able to beat Kingston 2-0 and trim Belleville 6-3 on Saturday at Peterboro. The Peterboro team is an improved aggregation and don't make any mistake about seeing a Teal live team against Kingston on | Wednesday evening. Al 'Heckman and Swanston are both scheduled to play and with these two men going at the rate they have been in the last couple of games, J is hard to Say what the result of "Wednesday's eo will be. . There are many fans who are pos- sessed of the idea that Kingston is 80 far ahead In the Central Ontarro 'League race that it has become un- interesting, There's just where they are making a big mistake. King- 'ston may not be quite so far ahead Mfter Wednesday's game here. Al- though it {s the earnest wish of every foyal Kingston fan that the team should win, there's golng to be a whole lot more trouble for the locals fo come through this time than it 'has been for them so far this season, 4hat is, of course, providing that "Hetkman' snd Swanston form the | Mattery and the team doesn't go Blogey at some stage of the game. he Petes have played errorless ball thelr last two starts and there's IS UP AGAINST SOMET Team to Give Kingston Hot Reception in To- e--MHeckman and ing Erroriess Bal SPORTING ADMITS KI NGSTON NG Swanston Likely to Work I--Big Crowd Is Assured. To reason why they can't keep it up. Word comes from Peterboro that there Is every likelihood of starting Hecknian and Swanston as the bat- tery. If all this works out, then Kingston fans can expect to ses a real thriller of a ball game, and mo mistake. Local fans keep. talking about the change from the Stadium to the Fair Grounds and while some of them are loathe to give up their nice com- fortable seats at the Stadium, at the same time they expect to ses better baseball. Hits will have to be real hits all the time and that's what the fans want. Manager Joe Daley has had 'his gang of ball tossers out practising hard for the big game tomorrow and it is the first time this season that he has stewed so much about a com- ing game. While he does not think his feam can be beaten by the Peter- boro team in Kingston, he admits that they will have a mighty hard time to stay out in front if Heckman and Swanston work as they have been working in the last two games. Manager Daley asserts that his men will have the hardest battle of the seascn here tomorrow and every man will have to be right on his toes from the drop of the hat. The local infield has been stirred up a little, it 1s stated, and a little extra practice on ground balls has been going on. There is likely to be an improvement in the infield by to- morrow, although there will be no changes in the lineup. One muff is apt to spoil the whole works in to- morrow's game and Manager Daley wants no chances taken at any stage of the battle. It should be a real game worth well going to see and it it falls in any way to live up to ex- Pectations as a baseball battle, there will be many people ready to give up guessing for good.

There has "been more talk of junior baseball in the last few days than there & been in some time past and it 'would not be so surprising to see 'over two thousand people attend evening's first half schedule championship duel. Both teams have been right on ir. toes in practice since the last meeting when the Circle Six came rough to tie the series up, It wad last chance for Circle 8ix to put 'a fight to have a chance in the rst half of the series and they made : most of it, being beautifully help- | od but at critical times by the Vie- who made errors of commis- and omission that they would be guilty of in ten more games. wend to' pieces Just at the eriti- when they should have been their best baseball and they heard all about it from Man- 'Howard Somerville many times their last performance. ¢ ind In passing, Manager Somer- declares that hig team will be in 'shape for the game to-day.

Even though they won the last game, "Senator" Powell told the boys he was not at all Pleas- ed with some of the things they did in that game and he has more than let them know it since. The result is, Circle Six, anxious to live up to form, will be ready for a real hard grind to-day and they too, like the Victorias, will be hitting on all six. Torday's junior contest offers real fast junior ball and those fans who pass it up, will surely be missing ing something in junior baseball that would be worth going a great dis- tance to see, : I --_---------------- \ The Leading Hitters National League.

Connell, goaler for the Ottawa Hockey Club, has beed signed up for the next five years. Connell has become one of the highest rated goal-ténders in the pro- fessional game. He wis a former Kingston goal-tender under "Senator" Jack Powell with the Kingston juniors in 1918 and 1919. Shortstop Bverett Scott has been purchased by the Cincinnat!

Those who know "Dollar Bill" know what he means: He sends regards to his Kingston friends, especially the officials at the university, with whom he is a great favorite. The links at the Cataraqu! Golf and Country Club are expected to be crowded for the next few weeks while some of the boys who made the trip to Brockville last Baturday put on a little steam and get down to brass tacks. The local golfers sure had an off day in the River Town and they won't get over that 37-9 trimming administered to them for a few days yet. Some of the members of the team have gone so far as to start to learn the game all over again, it is Whispered, The entries for the tournament at the Kingston Tennis Club have not been coming in as well as expected by the tournament committee and the lists are being left open for a few days longer to allow the members a little more time to get signed up for the various groups of the tourna- ment. Great enthusiasm is being shown by those alréady entered and there is every indication that the games, in all branches will be keenly contested. The winners of the tournaments will meet the representa- tives of other clubs such as Queen's, Newboro and Regis. . The basaball card for this week is the best one listed in a long time. With a junior game to-day and ome on Friday and the senior contest to- morrow, local patrons will have plenty of good ball to enthuse over. * The local dinghy sailors made a splendid showing at the Chaumont races and showed by their splendid work that they are strong contenders for any prizes that are going this season. -- -- PRAISE FOR JONES, s-- iithan any other golfer.
