The charity baseball game that was to have been played at Dominion Park last night between the girls' teams, the Princess Pats ajid Connaughts, did not materialize. According to one of the young ladies, the clubs were informed about three o'clock in the afternoon that the park was in a wretched state and unfit to play on. This may have been the state of the grounds at three o'clock in the afternoon, but at seven o'clock they were in splendid shape, according to information given The Leader by the manager of one of the teams. It is indeed regrettable that the game was not staged, as a postponed ball game never is the same success.

The majority of the plajg; ers were very disappointed, and sa-were a large number of interested. fans who journeyed over to the park, particularly when they saw that the field was in good ehape. The players are keen for battle, and they will now have to hold off their encounter until next Friday evening. In the meantime they intend to practice faithfully each evening, so that they will be better able to show up some of the City and Commercial Leaguers. The promoters of the charity game are almost assured of a bumper crowd when the girls' teams do come together, for hundreds of tickets have been disposed of, and many more will be sold by the young ladies before next Friday.

The game is to be played for a worthy cause and deserves all the encouragement that the general public can render. Every dollar that is taken in at the gate will help swell the Red Cross Society's funds, an organization that is carrying on such able work during the present war. FLEET FOOTS DOWN THE.

His two two-base hits were responsible for the score being so la-nge. cS-nell worked in good, style at short, McLellan of the W.W. waa not up to his usual form, nor did he play his position up to his standard. It. Fraser played a good game in the field.

lag Dominion championships that will he held in Winnipeg next month. The local athlete, when seen yesterday, stated that, although he haa been handicapped in his training1 by the Inclement weather, he never felt better, and he certainly looks the part, he is the picture of good health. Hammond is going to Winnipeg, and he Is going to rstnm to Regina with honors. This statement may be broad, but the local hoy has always done well at every meet he has competed in, and he states himself that he will do better. Hammond will compete la the broad jump, hop, step and Jump, lOO yards and 300 yards.

He may also take a chance at the high jnmp. Se believes that he will make his best showing' in the Jumps, as he has been jumping near the record marks this season. Regina sport enthusiasts will join in wishing Hammond, and all other Saskatchewan athletes, the best of good luck. Announcement has been made that Rev. Father Stanton, the famous coach of Ottawa University, is leaving to take up missionary work in the United States.

He has been one of the leading lights in eastern sporting circles for some time, and will he missed, not only In Ottawa, hut in Toronto, Montreal and other cities, where rugby and hockey are played. For several years he coached the football team which represented the Ottawa University in the Intercollegiate Rugby Union. One of his most notable achievements was that of 1907, when, with a team of youngsters, he romped off with the championship of the union. In the days of the old city baseball league he coached the college nines, which were winners many times. In 1913, when the.

Ottawa Football Club and Ottawa University teams amalgamated, he acted as honorary coach. During his terms in the Znterprovlncial Union he made many friends In Toronto, Montreal and Hamilton, and his departure will he regarded as a serious loss to the various lines of amateur sport. "Moose Team Commits Suicide While Crowd Cold-Bloodedly Shouts," was the heading that a Calgary sport writer put over one of his baseball stories recently. Sounds almost like a dime novel feature. But it wasn't, it was a game of baseball, or rather a pretence at ball.

In which a club named Moose were defeated by the Empire 17 to 1. No, gentle reader. It was no cricket match. Immediately after the swatfest the league held a meeting and banished the Moose from the organization for life. That's where the suicide part evidently comes In.

Can yon imagine fans turning out for baseball of that class. The youngsters on the local corner lots could outshine any cf those Calgary teams. The Wews-Telegram of Calgary seems to be worrying" over the Western Canada Here's the latest from that paper: "If Sam Savage had been financing' a club in professional baseball this spring how much would he have been in the hole now do you think? With rain falling since May 24 almost every day and making it impossible to play, and get receipts, how high would expenses run? It would have cost him nearly 52,000 to bring the club here from the south. There would he about 850O initial expenses. The team would be lying around for six weeks, which would mean that Sam would have to pay them their salary just the same.

This would amount to about $1,800 plus 3900, equalling' $2,700. The whole loss would he over S4.OO0. And this would not only have been the case here, hut In every city in the league large sums would have been dropped. Regina, Saskatoon and Moose Jaw, the cities which wanted professional baseball this year should thank their lucky stars that this city and a few others held out against it." And now James Gilmore. president of the Federal League, steps to the front and confesses that from the standpoint of the baseball magna te'i pocketbook this is going to he about the leanest season ever.

"In 'my opinion," said Frexy Gilmore recently, "the present season will he the most disastrous ever experienced. Many leagues will go under and many clubs will go broke, but we will light to the last ditch." Enc oar aging', isn't it? At last Jack Munro has been wounded In battle. The giant. Canadian, who once upon a time held Jim Jeffries even for four rounds and was subsequently trimmed In two periods, was wounded recently, according to despatches. He is with the Prlnoess Fats.

Dominion Day, Canada's national holiday, will he celebrated at Bethnne this year by the presentation of a big programme of horse races, baseball, football, athletic sports and a concert at night. Xt is the eighth annual celebration, and each year it grows bigger and better. If you miss this event, you will surely miss one of the best in the district. Ty Cobb was presented with a line and a fes from the Lu In Temple of Mystic Shriners recently at Philadelphia. Then he went to bat, missed a three-base bit by a yard land forced a runner at second.

He made up for this afterward by getting two hits and a base on balls and stealing four bases. As a result of the government prohibition of racing in the Old Country, the value of the country's blood stock has declined from fifty million dollars to less than five millions. The breeders especially criticise the stoppage of racing at the suburban and home counties meetings, which the horses could reach by road, as they did in the days prior to the railroads, while rail transportation is still required to reach Newmarket, where racing is still permitted. The Jockey Club officials will consult the new government with regard to the possible extension of the privilege of racing. Every soldier an athlete 1 That is the theory on which recruits are he-.

lng trained in Lord Kitchener's fast-growing army. All forms of sport are popular with the men, and during Whitsuntide thousands of khaki-clad athletes took part at the military meetings specially promoted in all parts of the Old Country. Boxing, too. has a peculiar fascination for the soldier. It seems to make a special appeal to his lighting spirit.

Every regiment has its champions sometimes a professional champion like Jim Driscoll, Fat O'Keefe or Sergt. Basham and the man who stands in this exalted position is something of a hero. To be a good boxer means much in the way of liberty and relief from irksome duties, though, of course, all com under the same strict disciplinary regulations. This military enthusiasm for boxing has created an unexpected boom and several Important contests have been LACROSSE irAOUB ST Alf DIW G. W.

1 Capitals 1 Students 2 3 f-hamrocka 1 I 4 .169 In a game that was featured by hard, close chocking, the Capitals defeated the glimrofk 6 to 5 at the Strathcona Kvhool grounds last night, before a falr-led crowd of enthusiasts. The Shamrocks, with the addition of Austin Cres- ell. the hotkey star. Darke, another hookey 1st of not, and Sutherland back in the gam, started off like a house on Pre. and at the end of the first period had a lead of four goals to one.

They, however, shot thetr bolt, and despite numerous changes in the Hne-UvP. were tinabl to hold the fast traveling Capitals, who evened the score In the second quarter at St won out in the final, damson a Surprise. The surprise of the name the phenomenal playinjr of jounif Adumson, who was substituted for Martin in the second period. The appearance of Adamson gave the Capital the required fnish. as he fitted In ntcety in combination with Law-son and MoliskU who ran around the jshams' defence for suttk-lenl goals to win and give the Capitals a boost in their lead for the championship.

The playing of Adamson was a revelation. This youngster took part In a game as a goalkeeper early In the season, and he wasn't expected to deliver anything extraordinary as a home fielder. This ts probably where the hanirocks made their fatal guess, a he worked wonders in the Capitals, and helped overhaul and surpass the btg lead that the Irishmen had secured early in the play. Another Clean Game. Atthoujih the play at all times waa exceptionally close, so far as checking was concerned, there was no deliberate rough work, and the officials, Re-fere Stevenson and Judge of Flay Taylor, had an easy time.

Patterson was benched twice for over-strenucus checking. Robinson was oft for slashing, and Vrquhart and Adamson were penalised for the mia-urp which did amount to anything. Wasted Shams To Win. The crowd took much interest In the play, and were pulling strongly for the bhaxnrocks to win. Manager Corrigan, In his endeavor to put a crimp in the league leaders, used three substitutes, but to no avail.

It was superior team work and" excellent passing that was mainly responsible for the Capitals" victory. The winning goal was negotiated after one of the pretties! piece of combination displayed in any game this season. Defence Out Too Far. Th Shamrocks were badly at fault pfter they secured their three goal lead. Relieving that they had a sufficient advantage, the defence played too far out.

leaing excellent openings for the po-poslng home. It would have been wiser to have played a strictly defence game and take chances of getting the breaks. Both gmlkeeprs had plenty of work to accomplish, and they did it well. Gray for the winners made many sensational eaves In the last two- periods. Ryan was called upon to stop several shots that looked good for counters.

2few Flayer Xackd Condition. The addition of gives tht Shamrocks a strong line-up. These players lacked the necessary condition last night, but they did their share of the work in grand style under the circumstances. Manager Corrigan bow has a line-up that with a few practices will have a whole lot to say In deciding the chamoionshlp. The teams lined up as follows: Capitals.

Th hard luck, streak which ha dogged th Butchers all eeason was in evidence on the Broad street grournl last night when the Thistles defeated them by the wor of wen roals to nil. On the play the Thistles had the game in hand all the time h-ut they were not of value for a seven goal win, for the Butchers should have scored on at least two occasions.

In the opening half the Scotchmen got five goals, and there was not one of them that the goalkeeper had a chance to 'savs. The shooting of the Thistle men was very effective, and Charlie Laing was In a pcoring mood with a vengeance last evening, four of the goals coming from his foot. He has improved out of all knowledge since he Parted playing centre for the Thistles, and the marvner in which he passe the bail to the other forward is a treat lo watch. lie never misses an opportunity for rushing through and has acquired the happy knack of judging the exact time when it is to the team's benefit to do so. He is seldom robbed of the bail when In poesion of It, and when working: on the leather the opposfinj defepc need to be on their fruard.

Weir Handled Bail. In the opening: minutes of the gam Barnard, who showed up well throughout the match, shook the posts with fast shot from twenty yards out, and shortly after put in a beautiful centre from which Arnold opened the scoring. Barnard came back but his shot was well saved by the roftikeeper. but the respite was not for long-, as Arnold apaln put in a shot which Lowe Just managed to clear. In the scramble in frort of the Butchers eroal Weir in a most stupid fashion handled the ball and from the resultant kick Culverhouse got the second for the Thistles.

A curiou coincidence is that the Dominion record of 23 feet inche is held by the well-known C. D. Bricker. a brother of Dr. Brickr, made at Toronto in 130S.

Roy HaJiburtoni holds the Alberta record at 21 feet 3 inches.

Tommy Blair Enlists. another Regina athlete has enlisted for his country In F.urope, in the person of Tommy Blair. who leaves this morning for Sewell, as a member of the 46th Battalion. He was one of the best intermediate rueby players in the city, and also gamed considerable fame in "the hocKey game as a member of the Civil Service team.

Look out for his accurate shot when he strikes his right form.

Captain Gilllgan was all smiles. He had good cause to be pleased, for his work helped considerable in deciding the victory. Gilllgan is always In the right apot at the right time. With Gray, Taylor and Ryan between the nets, the City Lacrosse League has a trio -that will be hard to beat. They are all good, with Taylor having a shade on the other two.

Although the Capitals have a big lead In the chamlponshlps race, the honors are not decided by any means. Nine games have been played so far, one of which was a tie. This makes ten more to pull off in the first series. Freddie the automatic baseball magnate, scored the goal that placed the Capitals on even footing in the third period. Whether it Is lacrosse, baseball or hockey, Mac can sure "deliver the goods.

Adamson. the find of the lacrosse season, will be a valuable player for the Rough Riders when they play the Moose Jaw Maple Ieafs again. He will do some efficient work with Longworthy, Abbot! and Lawson. Manager Lawson, of the Capitals, had lined up a well-balanced aggregation of gutted stick artists. With quicker passing and more chances on the nets, the Capitals will be a hard team to overtake.

The Law Students were on hand looking things over. "Piffle" Taylor and his gang believe that they can stop tho Capitals. They say the problem has been solved, and will fee carried out when they stack up against the Caps again. Judging by the large turnout and the keen enthusiasm displayed, lacrosse will be back better' thah ever before 'the season terminates. The players are doing their share by dishing up a clean variety of lacrosse.

Why not get Brandon, KeTrobert, Edmonton, Calgary or any outside team to come here? uch a game would draw a big crowd.
