Italy's hopes were shattered in the mid:week . when Tom Saetta and Fioravanti Baggio were forced to retire from the race due to injuries. $ Saetta's injury was incurred about eleven o'clock on Tuesday evening. He and Baggio had just jumped the field for a lap and--were out in front to gain another, and incidentally $20. offered by an admiring fan, when he went over the fence on the west bank at dazzling speed and was knocked unconscious, sustaining a dislocated shoulder and internal injuries, which ne-- cessitated his withdrawal from the race. In about thirty--six hours To-- ronto's fifth international six-- day bicycle race will end. Tor-- chy Peden and Jules Audy, To-- ronto Maple. Leaf team, are holding on grimly to a slight lead over the star--spangle team of Charlie Winter and Frank Bartell, who are forcing the le-- aders all the way. EXECUTIVE OF THE CLUB Past Pres. Gid De Spirt President Joe Piccininni Vice--Pres. Rocco Polito Secretary } Jas. Simone Asst. Secretary Fred Catena Treasurer John Longo It was a disappointed crowd of Italian fans who saw Tom Saetta carried off the floor on Tuesday. They were delighted at the brilliant showing the Ita-- lians made in the sprints earlier in the evening and all shouted words of encouragement to Baggio to carry on. Baggio then joined forces with Henry Lepage of the Red Devil--team, who was left part-- nerless when Letourner met with an accident on Monday. Early Wednesday morning, in the last lap of the final sprint before settling down for the night, Baggio rode right into a pile of seven fallen riders and was badly cut--about the face. He hung on until -- Wednesday noon but was finally compelled to give in. Thè number "thirteen" cer-- tainly spelled disaster to the wearer. Letourner and Baggio both wore it and crashed.

Several of the boys, who are addicts to the sport of kings, can be seen nightly perusing the daily rac-- ing forms and in just two we-- eks' time they will be waiting tensely in the huge crowd at Woodbine for the barrier to be sprung, when some twenty tho-- usand people will shout in uni-- son, "FThey'te off!". Who will be the winner of the King's Plate? That's the. talk of the town to--day. The opening day ceremonies are over. Chev. Vic. Gianelli certainly put on a fine show, al-- though the Toronto ball team spoiled the afternoon 'for the fans by losing a close game to the Albany club. It was a good game, full of sparkling plays and tense moments. Toronto put up a game fight after spot-- ting their opponents three runs in the third inning. They mana-- ged to score twice but did not have the final punch. Tke Boone's 'team are going to be very popular. Their infield com-- pares favorably with any in the league while their outfield al-- though not so good defensively can certainly boast a dynamite offensive. They are all power-- ful hitters, liable to break up a game at anytime. 7 There were over thirteen tho-- usand fans there to support the home team. It was a perfect setting, warm sunshine, neat newly painted grandstand and bleachers, bands, bunting, fire-- works, flags, speeches, and above all a good ball game, with one sore spot, as mentioned before -- the final outcome of the game. i Chev. Gianelli once again de-- monstrated his artistry as a master of ceremonies. He had the boys rehearsed in their marching, making intricate pat-- terns, etc. The street parade with a civic reception at the ci-- ty hall was well organized. He was congratulated by all for his fine work.-- But it is nothing new for the genial Chevalier to PLAY BALL! I "ÈÎÉ RCO MBQL .

R. will ad-- dress the members of the Cir-- colo Colombo and their friends on Sunday, May 6th, at 8 o'clock in the club--rooms. The whole Italian colony is invited to at-- tend. Chevalier Ambrosi, vice-- consul, will act as chairman for this special occasion . Last Saturday the amateur ball teams got under way in the local sandlots. It was noticeable that in the reports of the ga-- mes, many Italian boys were prominent. 3 This is indeed a great change since the time when the writer used to play. In those days the n am es of Freddie Genian, Adams Casciato, Bob Abate, Geo. Sansone and probably one or two others were the only Ita-- lian names to adorn the box scores, but . nowadays Carmen Bush, Lou Spalla, Ronny Ron-- cetti, Galimberti, Vince Laman-- tia and a host of others are right up with the leaders. Of course, . these are in the senior leagues; the number playing in the minors is great and in the not too distant future it would not be surprising if a complete team of Italian players organi-- zed to play senior ball. Lion's Club Show Next Monday night the Lion's Club annual boxing show will take place at Mutual St. Arena. Matchmaker Charles Ring has lined up a card which includes several young Italian boys from various points in Ontario. The-- se boys and all other partici-- pants are donating their servi-- ces free of charge. The Lion's club is a service club, working in the interests of underprivileged _ boys who will be able to spend happy ho-- urs at some summer camp thro-- ugh the proceeds of this show. It is a worthy cause which me-- rits the support of all. The show is well worth the money as all the outstanding amateur boxers in Ontario will take part. At-- tend this splendid show, enjoy a night of . thrille and --action, and at the 'Same time help a worthy cause along. The pastor of this church has worked ardently to make things go, but owing to present condi-- tions it_ is a hard struggle. It is fortunate that a group of West Toronto ladies have inte-- rested themselves in this pro-- iect. They have arranged a first class 'dance with a floor show and made the price of ad-- mission so low that everyone can well afford to attend--25 cents. Amongst the numerous women on the committee the Misses Befrene are taking an active interest. They will be on hand to greet the Italian guests. A group of prominent West Toronto ladies are holding a dance in St. Patrick's audito-- rium on McCaul street next Monday night in aid of the new Maltese Catholie church, St. John the Apostle. s DANCE IN AID OF MALTESE CHURCH ON THE SANDLOT SPORT BRIEFS BOLLHETTINO George F., Sansone, R.O., Editor DEL Congratulations are in order to the following who celebrate their birthday during the com-- ing week: May 6th-- Miss Marie Piccinin-- ni, daughter of our well known ex--president and se-- cretary, Jimmy Piccininni.

Italian Information Bureau 12 Elm Street, Toronto Dalla fotografia pubblicata nel "Telegram" del 27 aprile u. s., diciamo subito che merita lo studio del Lombroso. Non lo crediamo. Però riteniamo che é molto leggero in affermazioni come quelle pubblicate dal gior-- nale in occasione del furto cui é stato vittima. Esso, senza base alcuna, afferma che i due indi-- vidui che lo hanno derubato gli sembrano due italiani. Ques'to! tutto. Noi diciamo, invece, ch dal modo come il furto é stato consumato, la cosa non ci eem-- bra troppo chiara. Non voglia-- mo fare insinuazioni, ma non accettiamo che si facciano insi-- nuazioni. Dopo un breve ricevimento privato in casa della sposa, la coppia é partita per il suo viag-- gio di nozze in Bermuda ed al suo ritorno si stabilirà a Toron-- to.
