Dewart, who is one of the men in the run ming for the Liberal leadership in Ontario declared that the fight was between the profiteer and the peo- pie.

Pirates late this season. At least this is later day record
 In the famous twenty-four inning battle between the Athletics and the Red Sox at Boston, September 1, 1906, the longest game in major league history, none of the first basemen even approached Daubert's record Grimshaw of Boston had twenty one put outs and two assists, Davis and Schrek divided up the in itial bag labor for the Mackmen. Harry had twelve put outs and an assist and Ossie fourteen put outs The two together were two short of Daubert.
 It is probable that Pitler of the Pirates also hung up new mark for second sackers when he took care of fifteen put outs and four assists, a total of nineteen chances without error. Only Daubert of the players in this game exceeded him.

HERE'S LEONARD'S STORY. ON REASON sksssx.s HE nJnN,T ENi ICT

Benny Leonard's lightweight cham pion, got in awfully bad with the box ing public when he didn't enlist, but he has an alibi.
 No one would have thought any thing much about Leonard enlisting had he not loudly declared that if he whipped Welsh and won the title he'd hurry to~the recruiting station And when he copped the champion ship and allowed days and weeks and months to pass without enlist ing, tongues began to wag and the things they said were not compli- mentary to MT. Leonard.
 Now Benny tells why he didn't join He says he tried to enlist in the aviation corps, but that the War Department officials urged him not to do so, but to be in readiness for service as boxing instructor in army camps in this country. His appoint ment to this post has come, so Ben ny now tells why he didn't keep his promise to enlist
 It's a mighty good story at that
