Saturday to consider disposal of English cup coming in thick and fast to the Dominion football association As to what should be Dono with the new handsome Silver trophy donated by the English football association for annual Competition in the Domin Ion. Now a suggestion comes from the in a Way is a very Good one. This suggestion states that the Connau Fht cup played for by Elimina Tion produces two different champions Eastern and Western Canada who play off for the title of champions of the Dominion. Why not give the new cup to Tho losers final both finalists must travel Many Miles and play Many hard and gruelling zanies before they finally face each other and decide who will have the Honor of being champions of Canada for this year. The losers in a cup final Are champions in this respect they represent Eastern or Western Canada they Are champions of that part of can Ada Auu As such Are entitled to a Tro Phy of great value. This suggestion would Stop All talk of using1 it in an International with the United states the cup was presented to Canada this also would Stop any ill feeling that would occur were the cup Given to any one part of Canada it also avoids the costly expense of run Ning practically two cups and leaves our own cup the Jear Connaught cup in its rightful position giving the f. A. Gift the place it really deserves the second Best cup in can Ada played for by All teams in Canada and won by a championship team.

Patent Ottlo j j cop once again in the course of the last few Days two fanatical delegates have sent in offers of wagers along these lines no. Ruth this season will be More valuable than Hornsby. No. Hornsby this season will be mors valuable than Ruth. So once again the old argument relating to these two stars is on with All its ancient Fervour. Who is to judge the True value of such Talent Huth last season was the greatest card. He amassed Many More Homo runs and several More runs delivered at the plate. Against this Hornsby by Over forty Points and a Star infielder Lias much More work to do defensively than an outfielder has. Ruth remains the most spectacular figure in the the Best All round ballplayer. What Price dear have just read a Story of the death of mint Howell of Stanford. In 1922, when lie was quite 111" with the flu he got out of bed to take part in a dual track and Field meet Between Stanford and California to win Tho Point needed of Stanford to escape defeat. The result was that after a. Relapse he had tuberculosis and died. With All admiration for such spirit is this what College athletics is made for i have read other stories of football players continuing to play after breaking arms or legs risking the Prospect of being crippled for life. In t All this carrying our will to win 1 just a Little too far h. R. H. No Ope desires to Check the spirit of service and sacrifice which College athletics Call for. But these Are things which no coach or Trainer should Ever allow. The. Foundation of College athletics must remain recreation and physical health. Tha next idea is service sacrifice wit flu healthy limits. There is enough serious work in the world without making our play the hardest work of All. As to Washington. If you care for a better slant on the Washington Ball club and Buck Harris you might recall this incident last May Washington dropped to sixth place on May 10. The club remained in sixth place until May 24. Here was a. Sixt n place duo six. Weeks after the season opened with a Young and new manager. Yet at that Point it was hustling harder than Ever and by june 28 was in the Lead. The club dropped As Low As third place on several shifts but from late August to the finish held on without skidding from the ring Battles ahead. Tuere Are two ring contests scheduled ahead that Are sure to have action. One is Tho meeting Between Berlenbach and Mctigue the other being the Walker Greb affair. Mctigne May be a bit on the cagey but Berlenbach. In t. He goes after his opening from the first two seconds and never eases the finish. Walker and Greo Are both willing to mix it. There May be no Knock out joust there probably won t be but there will Dull or listless moments. Desired dullness a correspondent informs us that in winning the North and South championship Mcdonald. Smith s Golf was so flawless that it became Dull and tiresome to watch. There was too much monotonous perfection he wrote. Probably six or. Seven duffers around who would be quite willing to bore their friends with Golf that had too. Much monotonous Here seems to be fault. Paddock and Murchison on.

An International flavor has Boon contributed to saturday s engage ment and incidentally England is con fronted with the menace of seeing the trophy taken out of the country for the first time in its history for should Cardiff succeed in getting the better of the the cup will sojourn for a time on foreign England pins Strong Faith to Sheffield Wales is equally As confident that the City will come Home with honors thick upon them. Additional piquancy is Given to the sumo inasmuch As it is the fiftieth contest. The Jubilee year in Point of actual encounters of the English cup Competition. Soccer enthusiasts for weeks past have been engrossed in weighing up form but Little assistance is vouchsafed them from a. Study of Tho records o the respective clubs in their league contests nor does the atmosphere be come clearer by examination of what they have already accomplished in the cup fight. Not improbably both Sheffield and Cardiff will Field the same elevens that have brought them thus far in the Competition. Cardiff May have some difficulty and it a problem whether Beadles will be Able to take his place at inside left. It is expected that Cardiff will have to rely a great Deal on the resource of Keener and Hardy in the mediate Una to Check Tunstall and ii Lespie both of whom usually manage to get through a tremendous amount of work. Tie Cardiff defence has ways been Good both Nelson and Blair presenting a formidable screen in front of Farqharson while in the front line Nicholson has a a Rula had Good support from his wings. Whether Nicholson will play or not is another question it is a toss up Between him and dates. In any Case the car diff forwards Wili have their work Cut out for against a Trio like Pantling King and Green who will probably constitute Sheffield s line they will find themselves faced with players who Are Tho last word in resourcefulness and opportunism.
