 The game between the Corbin | Red sox and Kensinston teams. | which was scheduled to be played | Saturday afternoon in Kensinston. has beer called off by the managers out Of consideration for the Indus- trial Athletic Council which is con- ducting the annual track and field | meet at Willow Brook park the -sme day.
 At first. the managers were going | to play the game, fearful that the | general public might be tired Of hearing about postponed games, | money and other matters connected with the games, but after due con- sideration, it was found that the game would undoubtedly clash with the track meet and as plans had been laid for some time to hold the meet, it was thought to he better sportsmanship to cancel the game and give the second annual meet a clear track.
 Manager Pat Buckley greets this announcement with joy as he would have been in hole for players Sat urday and with the Falcon game coming in Sunday, this weekend would have been a tough one. Sew eral of his players had made plans 10 go away with St, Paul's T. A. B. Drum Corps on a field day and Buckley would have had to go.
 Pat is the fellow who beats the bass drum in the corps and as he Is the only expert in that line in kensington. how could the drum corps play without the boy who swings the big stick. Now Pat can so along and belt the pigs pelt for all he's worth,
 Besides his many other accom- plishments, Buckley is bass drum mer extra ordinaire. He uses cres- cendos and diminuendos with ahan- don and when he is booming away in time to the shrill piping of the flies and the rattle of the snares, the time is perfect.
 Pat Is so skillful with the bass drum stick that he is qualified to join a Highland corps and, dressed in kits use two of them as the bag pipes whine away. He followed this avocation through life because in his creeping days, he had. good wallop and many an Iron horse or trolley car suffered when he swung the mallet.
 Todya is closing day for the en- tries for the Industrial Track and Field meet which will be held Satur- day afternoon at Memorial field in Willow Brook park.
