Although the writer does not know what action will be taken

over Friday night's two iracas

in the Junior League game, it ap-

pears that it is about time that

some strict action was taken. O O e

Officials connected with the league especially those who have been handling the games have been doing all in their power to make the league s success. That they have succeeded is beyond any question of a doubt.

w O O e

They, especially miplre-in- chief George Francis, have been handling all the games in the league. At times probably their decisions have not met with the approval of some of the fans but nevertheless irl this writer's opin- ion they have been doing a good lob. \ O O O

George Francis, after e treat career with both City League and Abegweit teams turned to officiat- ing. His decisions at times have not met with direct approval; per- hws he was Iwrcns. we-are in no positim to judge but nevertheless the fact that he was always avail- able for duty speaks well for the interest he still has in the game in which he once starred.

O O O

Umblre Francis was well within his rights when he ordered the two offending players out of last Friday night's game. The players in question asked for the stern disciplinary action that was met- ed out to them,

O

not directly connected with both

in ordering the two players out of the game. The base judges with him are doing the best job they can and have the good of the game at heart. ' ' O O O

In Jimmy Allen's case Friday night. he was the object of an uncalled fol‘ attack. No matter whether he was right or wrong in the decision in question, his word should have stood.

I O O

The incident Friday night was uncalled for. It is to be hoped that such a spectacle will not be re- posted. Frobably the two players involved are, today, plenty sorry but st the same time their regret should not be allowed t0 stand in their favour.

O O O

‘llley are deserving o: luypgn- sion, the length of which ll en- tirely up. to league oiiiiclals and no matter how long the said eus. pension is, it should serve to be a lesson to any other players with the same ideas in mind.

O , O

' Oflioiele connected with 5°05 leagues now in operation are do- ing the best they can. But for them, and their willingness to o1- flciate st the games, baseball would become s dead issue. The uvrisins Friday nisht. as we said before was uncalled for; it did

sportsmanship of the two play- ers involved. Prompt action is now needed not only to leach the oi- fendlng players s lesson but also to serve notice that. decisions by the- officials in charge oi the guns must be respected.

Sun-tanned men end women piled out of housing centres to training grounds and hundreds of Londoners flocked to watch them.

Cyclists swarmed over the roads. dog-trotted on the sidewalks. marstlhoners pounded the pavements over the course in the north London area. and track and field stars. with the exception of those at Uxbridge where Canadians, Americans and others are staying was choked with athletes in varied colored track suits, sweat-shirts, blazers and shorts.

Freddie Whaiems North-end Rov- ers broke the winning streak of the League leading Anchors _ as they downed the west-end crew by e 4-8 score 'at the Old Diamond ln Victoria Park yesterday afternoon before a large crowd oi fans.

The Rovers were spurred to victory by the brilliant pitching of the young righhhander. Jackie Cairns. and the hard hitting of the two "Bucks", Whitlock and ‘lkalrlor.

oijen hits that accounted for the well earned victory esanuch es it was the pitching of the young- ster who. in carving his second will of the season. hurled e. fancysx- hitter and fanned fourteen batters as he struck out every player at least once. "Lefty" MacAieer. hurl- ing for the losers. spaced ten nits well enough so as to allow only four runs to cross the plate while he struck out six batters._ It was the slim portsidefls first lose against four wins and the loss accounted for the first setback for the Auth- ors ln eight games.

“Buck” Whltlock poled out three doubles in his first three times at bat to stre-lch his hitting streak to eight games. and in doing so rs"- ed his batting average to an en 400, "Bucko" 'I‘raln0r_ Jud wo in four times at bat and also drove in 0. um. Whitlock drove in the remaining three runs with his hard hitting.
