Baseball stars of a former generation, many known only by reputation to present-day enthusiasts, met in battle yesterday in a game staged despite the rain for several hundred jackies from the Great Lakes naval station. Among the veterans were "Billy" Sunday, once the fastest sprinter in the National League; Fred Pfelffer, one of the greatest second basemen the game has known; Tony Mullane, who pitched for the "Reds" when Com-iskey played first base, and "Jimmy" Ryan, of the old Colts. The veterans were divided into two teams the All-Nationals and All-Americans. The Nationals won the game in the fourth inning on a single by Billy Sunday.

At this time the score was fourteen to nine, rain preventing further play.

Laviolette's career as an athlete has been a very brilliant one as he starred in motor cycle racing, aero- nlanine. lacrosse and hockey. It FNAL D-DAY AND SA UKDAY AHt fHh O'CONNELL'S GIGANTI OF DAYS was his craze for speed that undoubtedly brought his athletic career to such an unfortunate end, as speed was his middle name.

He always remarked that they didn't build motor cycles too fast for him, and that he hoped to see the day that he would operate an aeroplane 150 miles an hour. Few players, if any, could travel up and down a hockey arena as fast as Laviolette. In fact, he was a sensation pn the steel blades, as he skated just as fast backwards as he did going straight ahead, and it was a very common sight to see him jump clean over an opponent rather than waste the time of stick-handling around. Laviolette was equally as speedy on a lacrosse field. The Montreal whirlwind, as he was commonly known to his friends, first came into prominence as an athlet when the old International Hockey League was organized.

Laviolette played for the American Soo team along with Pitre, another famous Montreal athlete. When George Kennedy organized the Canadiens, one of nnTni SACRIFICE LEAGUE BASEBALL Come! Every suit in our own high-grade stock is involved in this price-smashing clothing drive. Don't miss it. Come! This is the last opportunity you will have to benefit by our purchase of Kirk Dunkley's entire suit stock the first players he signed up was Laviolette. He has been a fixture with the red, white and blue aggregation ever since.

He played defence for many years. Two winters ago he tried a forward position and made good. Even last winter he played a tew games, and despite his age, which is forty or over, he delivered the goods. Laviolette's misfortune will be regretted by all true sportsmen, for he was a popular favorite, especially in Montreal. His genial disposition and his clean, gentlemanly conduct, both on and off the ice and the lacrosse field made him many friends.

He always tried hard to win a game and he was always fair and above board in all his dealings.

Thirty dozer, lacrosse sticks to be distributed amongst the school boys of Vancouver have been ordered by Con Jones, the well-known local sportsman, and just as soon as they arrive they will be turned over to the Public Schools Athletic League for distribution. Since bis return from Winnipeg Mr. Jones has been enthusiastic over school lacrosse, and it is hoped to organize a league similar to that in Winnipeg, in which thirty-four teams are competing. It has been suggested that a large number of old-time lacrosse players would be willing to give part of their time to the organization and coaching of school teams, and arrangements are now under way which will undoubtedly result in the formation of a school league similar to that in Winnipeg. If lacrosse is to be perpetuated it will be necessary that the rising generation have some experience in stick handling, and it is to be regretted that the revival of the sport some four or five years ago in the schools of Victoria did not come to stay.

It may be that the teachers consider the game unsuitable for boys. At any rate, baseball seems to be the chief activity in the sporting line at present So far as rough play is concerned rugby puts lacrosse in the shade and yet it is being widely encouraged in the High Schools. It would be a pity if lacrosse should be allowed to die out in Victoria as it certainly will unless it receives the support of the boys. 17.9 14.9 11.9 National League. At New York R.
