England passed Australia's total of 383 yesterday with six batsmen in hand Earlier in the day Aus-Iralia lost two of her best batsmen -Capf A Hassett and Keith Miller -for a combined acore of only five runs can happen and if it does Sir Andrew his satellites like the usually amiable Red Burnclt will be giving everybody In this bailiwick the well turned needle Leafs are now snapping nt our heela the heels and maybe they will be breathing down our necks before playoff time When a Torontonian ilarts brehthing down your neck particularly when he Is in Montreal you had better beware They have a long way to go of course and we doubt If they will wind up In first place but they will be very strong In the playoffs In the meantime they are making a lot of money around there and they ran attribute It to the fact that tinj lie! valla here In fact both and Montreal teams are lucky that they have such keenly enthusiastic baseball followers among their writers They may not appreciate the fact but those who follow the game in both citiea certainly can't complain of lack of factual and entertaining coverage IflTHER and yon' If Dick 1 1 Para is back Bill Hughes should try and get him out

as BUI the prexy and Bill the umps it concerned they will meet All Stars Bill Eva the other umpire not only concurred In the decision but added his opinion that Lhe stalling was very apparent Now President Bill has to he sustained by his executive It appears that after calling the game the teams went along and played at an accelerated pace and the incident is tha talk of the district This is one of thf strangest of all sport cases to come up and it would seem to us that the onus of proof is on the umpires Since they are convinced that neither team wanted to win it poses a question How can one be actually sure that a team doesn't want to win It is a state of affairs in which President Bill will revel no end In any event one of the teams was bound to meet Durnan and Co and conceivably both of them would have had a chance to gaze at his fast ball but little else in the playoffs REPORTS have it that the Montreal Club has adopted the name of Hornets If the team is good enough the tame will go over if not it doesn't matter Many years ago the public laughed out loud when Boston came into the National Hockey League with the name of Bruins They laughed at Bruins for a year or so but not very much after that The namo Became significant of success and it will be that way if Hornets have a winner They haven't any grounds at the moment they seem to be sure just where they will play There was some talk of erecting stands at Loyola but they couldn't pack very big crowds out there By this time they should at least know who they are going to play Tha other teamihave been practicing like blazes but not one Montreal player haa kicked or passed a football to date We don't want to ba tossing wet blankets all over tha layout but we are only voicing the (sentiments of many well
