New York. September 1.-Labour Day literally meant what is sounded like to big league baseball players, to-day, when they took part in a total of eight double-headers in the two leagues.

The diving exhibition of Ed. da Roza was one of the outstanding features of the night and a friend who has seen a good bit of diving exhibitions in other parts of the world told me that some of Roza's efforts were the best he had over seen and asked why a youth with such talents was satisfied in ams. tear exhibitions in a small place like Hong Kong.

Miss Enid Scull will probably start a hot favourite for the Indies barbour race this year, after the splendid win on Saturday. I think, however, that the Chinese are going to provide the winner for this event this year, as I am aware that they have some very good long-distance lady swimmera in their midst and these have been practising consis- tently for some time for the harbour event, Whatever the outcome, a good race is promised and there should be nothing lacking in the way of thrills when it comes off in
