A DEFINITE MOVE FOR NEW LEAGEE Ousted Detroit Hockey Inter- est Determined to Fight the N.H.L. Montreal, Aug. 9.--Following the pro. hockey mix-up in Detroit, caus- ed by the tentative award of a Na- tional Hockey League franchise to the Seyburne-Townsend interests and the refusal of a berth to the Fried- berg syndicate, it appears that a de- finite move is under way to launch an opposition major pro. hockey Jea- gue to operate in Detroit, Chicago, Cleveland, Toronto and Jersey City.

By Capt. Innes-Taylor. The most interesting piece of ten- nis news for many a year was the recent announcement Suzanne Lenglen that she was going to turn professional and tour the United States and Canada. As already point- ed out by Mr. Garnet Meldrum, the president of the Canadian Lawn Ten- nis Association, there is nothing in our Canadian rules to prevent an amateur playing with the French girl, provided, of course, that the player does not receive any prize or remuneration. Trouble Ahead in U.S. In the States there is mo doubt that the United States Lawn Tennis Association will do everything in their power to prevent any of their players from taking part in any matches with Suzanne Lenglen. The English Lawn Tennis Association will, I believe, do anything to help make any matches that Suzanne may play in England a success. After all, one cannot blame the Freach girl for capitalizing her skill. Whether she was wise if choosing the man- ager she has remains to be seen. Pyle certainly knows little about ten. nis and bis part of the show ds to make some money for himself, A Previous Case. Some years ago A. E. Beamish, who was twice in the final at Wim- bledon and who was one of the most attractive players to watch, turned professional, and from that day he has completely dropped out of sight. a I -- Suzanne Not in US. 1 do not believe aar.in ¥ play- ers would go and watch Suzanne Lenglen play in a match with an un- I Of course, you'll always remem- {ber Scott as baseball's "iron man"; ithe fellow who played 1307 consecu- tice games.

Pipp, Mays and 'Witt will also be re- membered for illustrious deeds established during their Amerfcan League regimes. Not much was sald when one after another passed on to the older circuit. Fame Is indeed fleeting ! equal opponent. Maybe* those who have not seen her would 80 once. Suzanne Lenglen is not popular in the Unfted States. I remember well an exhibition doubles match she played in at Forest Hill the year she played Mrs. Mallory. The match was staged after'the doubles of the Davis Cup match. The match had hardly proceeded a few games when a good portion of the audience got up and left, and when the game finished half the people had left. Of coursq in | that year the American public were rather sore. at Suzann | account of her default to Mrs. Mal- {lory. Time has, however, healed this feeling and she will doubtless draw good crowds, but I miss my guess if Mlle. Lenglen does not apply for re- instatement after a year in the pro- fessional ranks. » BARERAL (Saturday.) Toronto, 8; Baltimore, 5, Buffalo 6; Reading, 3. Buffalo 11; Reading 2.

Champions are be- ing kicked all over the lot. None of the contestants in any of thé cham- plonships played thus far has given a hang about the titleholder. They start right out, and lo, before the championship has gone any great distance the king is out. It started déwn in Florida and out in California and swept north- ward and eastward. Champion after champion was beaten and a new king crowned. It seems as if nibst of this country's golfers have been guilty of better employ = the | Pinkertons. With the metropolitan open and amateur titles in pew hands, as, happened in the Long Is- land and dozens of other amateur championships, a continuation of this sort of stuff may be expected throughout the week, Sa -------------------- BASEBALL PROBLEMS By Billy Evans. Baltimore. . Toronto... . Stan Explain what is meant by a fleld- er's choice? A fielder's choice 1s created when the player handling a batted ball de- cides to try to retire another base- runner instead of the batter. For instance, with a runner on second, the batter hits to the short stop. A perfect throw to first would have easily retired the batsman. The flelder elects to try for the more dificult play, the retiring of the run- ner trying to advance to third. In such a play, the batsman fs scored as having reached first base on a flelder's choice, He is charged with a time at bat, (See Aso Opposite Page) #6 LaPreferencia CIGAR Ask 2 or 25¢ 0g size es still in their #4
