Playing up i wrong with the Powers con trolling this Competition. The game was of undoubted importance yet in j quiries elicited the information that one of the contesting teams had not even been instructed from . Headquarters that the game was on much less that it was scheduled for play commenced at something around 7 o clock and the rules Call for. Full 45 minute periods. Thus tile necessity for finishing in darkness rend ered Only the More intense by the glaring arcs. Scottish were value for a win on the evening s play but it is a question if they had a two goal superiority. Bens had a fair the Outfield play especially during the first half but they lacked the Boring in spirit and consequently their assaults generally were repulsed by the Strong opposing defence. They experienced one or two spells of hard look around the Scot Tosh goal and at least one of the i counters might have been saved. It never aspired to being a Good game and too Many illegitimate tactics were in evidence tolerated by the referee. To allow real football to be played. In this respect Bens were the chief aggressors. Scottish were the better team Bens played hard but lacked ability to finish. After a Long desultory period in which first Bens then scottish held the upper hand Gorrie took advantage of an error in judgment on the part of Collins sent in a High swerving shot which failed to Guage. This Fol Lowed a Good try from strange and furnished the Only score of the first half. Scottish had the Best of matters in the second and except for two Nar Row escapes their goal was Seldom threatened. Strange had again hard Luck when his first drive from close in was blocked and Lynch also made a Good attempt to open the count for his team. The Only goal of this period came from . Who took the Ball Down the Wing to the Flag crossed i nicely the Ball hitting the net just inside the far Post. Play at the end was characterized by poor sportsman ship on the part of Dickie who intentionally put the Ball but of play of two occasions. Once he was sent after it. Concerning the teams it May be said that both can play much better football. Referee Macgregor lined up tha following teams Anderson and Gar diner Wood Ross and Whitehead Fortsythe Corrie. Cook. Beattie and Mackenzie. Ben Jackson and col Lins Henderson Hart and James Lindsay strange Corbett. And Lynch. Labor Der replay.

Both goalkeepers Whettan and winning came out of last night s trying ordeal on Manitoba College grounds with much of the credit for the draw both putting up a Superb defence. Brits had somewhat Gart Cross country Champion of am Erica staff sergeant Craig Campbell o the grenadiers former president o the province of Quebec football ast so Clation major Sandy Cameron of Ottawa celebrated Rugby player ant oarsman and scores of others really is a sad Outlook for sport even horse racing will come in for a loss without doubt and the Grant scheme of the Dorval jockey club to bring some of the King s race horses Here for Competition is naturally nip Ped in the Bud. Racing in general seems to be in a pretty bad Way in the East and no matter How much or How Little truth there is in the Story a Man named Mckeon a bookmaker s Magnet has bribed jockeys on the big tracks it is bound to leave an unpleasant taste of suspicion in the Mouths of those who really have the Good of horse racing at heart and take a wholesome interest in it. The fact that some of the men arrested in Mon Treal on the keeping a. Fake poolroom Are Well known in bookmakers circles in the East has added to the harm done by the bribery Story. Soccer will suffer very greatly that is if a determined Effort is made to bring British reservists Back to eng land for half of them at least in. The East Are such and the Are members of Canadian Volunteer regi ments. It is also very unlikely that the visit of Britain s greatest professional soccer teams to Canada will be carried out As con Jones in tended to it out. King Edward Park races. King Edward Park aug.

Presbyterians Brooklands Tea and the presbyterian ii couple of runs Wirth much. When they have pitching they Are Likely to resort to the sacrifice method and Cen tent themselves with one score at a time. The Chicago club of 190s is the most conspicuous Caa quote of a club that always played for one run. Fielder Jones had wonder fully effective hurling the year he won the Pennant and a couple of markers looked As big As a million. Walsh. Doc White jut Rock and the others thought themselves in a soft spot if they Ever got a couple ahead. It was a fortunate Jones was Able to get away with this system too for he had practically no batting strength on his club. A base on balls a steal and a couple. Infield outs would have been considered the Ideal Way to score by the White sox of 19-06, and of course situations where this style was practicable did not arise often. The Chicago usually had to get their first Batter of an inning on the bases to have any Chance to unless there was an error or so to. Help them. To get a couple of hits in the same round was practically Unkow to them. The Detroit club plays the free hitting As a Genera. Thing unless it Hap pens to Ibe getting excellent pitching. We Are fortunate in. Having several base run Hera. And some Long hit ters which makes this system very effective. Crawford and Veoh Are noted As sluggers and when they connect they Are just As Likely to score a Man falling the have made some have also real reason for a Gate receipts.

A player who cannot think for himself is Likely not to think at All. It is usually with the Best in Tention that the worst play is made. The last Hole is past. Next one that counts. It s the the Best plays Are often those one team has tried5 and discarded and another has taken up and perfected. The Boston americans Are Well fitted to use any method of attack that appeals to them for they have plenty of hitters and some excellent base run ners. As their pitching is usually Good however they generally play for one run especially when the top of their batting order . One thing that handicaps there Are several slow men in the lower half of his batting order. So when one of this Section gets on it is necessary for tha. Following batsmen to Tae a so hot at the in Hopes of getting a Long hit. Carrigan himself is a hard reliable hit Ter but he is riot exactly a Speed dem on and it takes Good husky single to score him from second especially if the. Opposing outfielders have any sort of arms. Suppose that some of the fans Are looking for outbreak of hostilities among the various men the old world descent on the Folk league Ros ters but they have nothing to fear.
