The following is a description of the play in thé Davis Cup finals be- tween Cuba and Canada, in which the Canadian team were defeated and the Cubans qualified for the next round at Montreal: When the players took the court the score stood 4 to 3 in favor of Paris, The match had been succes- sively postponed from Sunday to Monday and Tuesday, * This post- ponement, however, should have re- sulted in an advantage to Crocker, who had been suffering from a cold throughout the play here and had collapsed after two of the matches. Crocker served and evened the count. Paris then served a love game and broke thrqugh on the next, pre- venting the Canadian from getting a single point. With the opening game of the sec- ond set, Paris developed a slashing attack to win easily. With the score 5 to 2 in favor of the Cuban, Crocker made one of the stands for which he is noted on Canadian courts and won the first three points. Parls evened, and the game see-sawed, going to deuce three times before Crocker succumbed. Paris took the first three games of the third set with ease.

Crocker's loss of the deciding point caused' some astonishment, for he had taken the preceding gamé by a love score. - The Canadians, though disappoint- ed, offered no excuse for their defeat None were necessary, for, despite their ill fortune in the 4llness of Crocker and Arthur Ham of Toronto and the fact thgt the climate, which militated agaimst all the tennis play- ers, affected to a greater degreethose to whom it was unaccustomed, the Canadians put up a great fight.

From the appearances of the last two junior games, the Victorias are away to capture the second half of the series and take the championship. They were awarded the first half and should they win the next game in the second half, they are sure champions. The Victorias are stepping out faster than ever these days and have plenty of fight. The Circle Six, on the other hand, do not seem to have the same pep at al that they had in the first half. p---- The Bellevile team plays here Friday evening in a Central Ontario League game. The Nationals and the locals shoud be able to stage an in- teresting battle. There will be enough baseball for one day on Civie Holiday. The senior club will bring in a team for two games and the juniors will have a fast Toronto team here for two games also. It will keep the fans go- ing to see them all, Monday next is the date of the next junior game between the Victorias and the Circle Six. The Victorias and Circle Six will get down to hard practice for much depends on this game. If the Circle Six lose, it will give the Victorias the championship of the League.»Two games out of the five of the second half have already been won by the Vics. length of the holes of the course where you play the most, Soon you will find that what you need is not more clubs but more practice with a certain club to help you once in a while to paralyze par.

Sesiebiline Woodstock, July 22.--Comment- ing on the proposal emenating og Hamilton that he might be prev z ed upon to accept the presidency of the proposed Western Ontario Pro. Hockey League, # rank Hyde, a mem- ber of the O.H.A. executive, declared emphatically that nothing would in- duce him to accept the position. "There is real humor in the situa- tion when you consider 'that all my life as participant and executive I have been @ most arden booster for amateur sport. Aside from this, I have already been quoted on several occasions to the effect that I do not believe the proposed Western Ontario Pro. League <an be a success. Know- ing the cities of this group from er- perience as convener of amateur hoc- key groups in which they have par- ticipated in the past, I do not believe it will be 'a successful enterprise. "Thete are so few opportunities afforded for worth-while careers in the professional side of our pastimes that only in very few branches of sport should a boy look seriously on the money-earning side of the games. Too frequently do we find boys en- tering the arena of professional sport, losing sight of .the obligation they owe themselves in the round- ing out of a career in the duties of citizenship, "I would rather be credited with having brought this home to young boys than to earn a $25,000 a year salary as an official in any profes- sional scheme." - Lightning Struck Post of Barn and a Tree.
