Because of this acute shortage, the men who volunteered for um- piring last year were overworked. and the Secretary made a strong appeal for more volunteers in this direction.

He appeated particularly to the young men of the Colony to come forward. If twelve or more could be trained at the special classes held for this express purpose, the

COOLER WEATHER IN CANTON

•

It is to be hoped that the sup- port forthcoming this season will be more encouraging than has been experienced to date, as this is an important branch of the game. With ineficient umpires the game is bound to suffer and this will not do anybody any good. More especially should members of playing teams of the tournament support the umpiring lessons, as it is almost assured that there will be à considerably larger number of teams competing this year for league honours.

FRIENDLY GAMES

SHOOTING OF MISS EVELYN HOEY

נו

Westchester, Penn., Sept. 12. Mr. William H Parkes, District Attorney, declared that the shoot- ing at Miss Hoey looked so much ike suicide that he felt justified in accepting ball for Rogers. He added that the authorities were, unable to break down the story that Rogers was downstairs when

Miss Hoey was shot.

After conferring with Mr. Parke, however, Mr. Grubb, the county detective, announced that Rogers and Kelly will not be released. but will be held without ball unt the inquest, & week bence.— Reuter.

An earlier message stated that Henry Rogers, junior, son of the late all millionaire Huddleston Rogers, was arrested on suspicion in connection' with the death of

Miss Evelyn Hoey, a Broadway »musical comedy star whose body' was found in a bedroom of Rogers' farm at Coatsville.

Rome, Sept 12. An Italian motor coach has just returned here after a six thousand kilometre tour through ten Euro- pean countries, using wood gas as motive power.
