JAPANESE TO MEET KIAORAS ON SUNDAY.

[Úv“ CENTREFIELD."}

The Japanese baseball, team con tinue to make headway in their effort to win the championship and last Saturday they had things pretty much their own' way when they art and defeated the Texaco team by runs to 5. There were a lot of errors in the field by the Texaco men and that, more than anything else, accounted for their heavy defeat. Their infield needs tightening-up and in this direction, I wonder why they did not bring O. Ismail in from left-field to short- stop. He would probably show, up better in that position, for if my memary serves me, he played quite well in the infield when he played for the Indians some seasons ago.

You may ask, "Why did he blu a man who was so far on the road to defeat As one who has been following boxing for forty-five years, actively and as a writer, I will tell you: Stribling was nearly "sold out" himself in the second round.

This followed his own terrific attempts to defeat Scott in the first round, and Scott's hectic opening in the second round when he brought blood from the American's nose with a heavy left hook to the head. Stribling sparred for fully half a minute, and had Scott shown the determination he has in 6ght abroad he might have won.

Mr. G. A. Paul (a magistrate): Would there be any objection to seeing "an old lady?"

Mr. Gardiner said that in Do circumstances would his wife go and live in the cottage. He had lived in hig cottage for twenty-six years, and his father and mother in one close by for eighty years.

The Bench gave Gardiner, four weeks in which to leave the cottage and take alternative, accommoda- tion.
