The usual Inaugural ceremony of flag raising with band playing, preceded the start of play. Besides Mayor Curtsy, who threw the first ball. Governor McCall, Coolidge and other public officials witnessed' the contest. Run making Xi sit I proved 'dirncntt-rfor We can call to mind many good (porting events thst have been pulled off In Saskatoon to mention oae, there was the hockey game between Moose Jaw and Saskatoon for 81.000 a side four years ago but theoe, together with the proposed Winnipeg-Saska toon bowling match, also for 11.000 jr side, must fade Into lnslsiflcsJsoVu a real sporting proposition beside the match that was made last evening. Roy Luck against Fred Betta in a fifty yard sprint for 100 aside this Is surely the best attraction that the public of this city haa ever had the opportunity of nod within one month from this date they will have the chance of witnessing such a race, and furthermore it will be a good cause, the patriotio fund, that will benefit as a result.

Roy Luck, or "Tiny," as he Is familiarly known to his friends, is no stranger to the sporting world of Sas katoon, ho being one of the very best trap shots In Canada and a prominent member of tho local gun club. Neither Is Fred Betts any stranger In sporting circles, seeing that tho genial president of the Pilgrims' hockey club, winners of the Northern division of the Sas katchewan league, has probably been! more in ino umeiism idis pose winier than any other man connected with sport In the city. To the uninitiated we may say that Roy Luck weighs exactly 222 pounds and his opponent 221. Tho match was tho outcome of some good-natured chaff, which brought a retort from Roy Luck that he would run the hockey magnate fifty yards for lit. It waa soma tlmo before "Tiny" able to make tho other under stand that ha was In earnest.

But once this waa accomplished things moved quickly and the match was finally made on tho following terms: Ths Terms 1. Tho distance to be fifty yards. 2. Tho stakes to be posted with tho sporting editor of The Daily Star at least one week before tho data decided upon for tho race. 2.

Tho race to be run within oao month from today. 4. Permission to be obtained to hold It in Cairns Field if possible. 6. A gate to be charged and the pro ceeds to be devoted to tho Patriotio Fund.

6. Soma other events to bo arranged to round out tho program. CHICAGO, April 11. Opening day In the two baseball leagues attracted approximately 159,000 people, according to figures compiled today. The 32,000 who crowded Whits 8o Park proved the biggest turnout of the day and the White 80s turnstiles were the only ones that clicked 10,000 times or more.

Be Ides being the largest collection of fans that ever wished a White Sox team bon voyage on a pennant trip, ester day's assemblage was probably the greatest opening day crowd since opening days cam Into vogue. Singularly enough, the Cuba, other Chicago team, helped attract the biggest National League throng.

The weather man provided his best brands of goods in most of the cities.

Attendance sharks overshot 'the mark a bit when they predicted that 200,000 would speed the 11 season on Its way, bat had the weather man been kinder in Boston and other points east the turnstiles surely would have registered around the 175,000 mark. Severe cold held the admissions at Boston to 6,000, which Is an unusually low figure for a world's championship club to play to on Its start for other honors. All told the American league showed an attendance of 76.151 and the Na tional of 71,106.

Another point about tho diet la that It is better to take three slim meals, consisting of non-fatttnteg foods, than to eat only one meal ai day, in which enough Is eaten to make up for four other meals.
