 Back came the West Ends. Red Campbell hit to right and Sheehan to center. Sheehan was forced on Wojack's grounder. but Cormier beat out hit to kania.

 sautter and Mangan. Time: 1;3t Pirates ., Tabs !
 The Pirates found little difficulty in defeating the Tabs in game which proved interesting although slightly one-sided. This game was called at the. end of the eighth in- ming to allow the Cardinal-Ranger game to start on time. There was little doubt that the result would have been about the same had the game gone the regulation distance. as the Pirates sewed the affair up in the sixth and seventh innings. when they scored six runs and broke a two to two tie which had existed since the fourth.
 The Pirates appeared to being so- ing to settle the issue in the first inning. but they managed to score but one run, as a double play by the losers with three men on and only one out finished what appeared as the start of a great rally. Daly made an error on Begley's Erounder to start the game and McAloon walked. Both men advanced a base when Charlow singled. Weir walked. moving all the base runners up notch and sending Begley home with the first run of the game. Matulis (Continued on Following Page)

Opposed to the hard hitting Burritts. who had won tho championship last year by maul- ing his offering for IT runs. Blan- chard limited his foes to six singles and turned them back by 6-5 score. Behind his pitching was some timely hitting by Bill Cormier, who blasted three hits with men on the bases and drove in four ruEs. in- cluding the one which broke up the game in the seventh. This game was the best of the afternoon and its result was surprise to those who were looking for an easy Burritt victory. The losers management protested the game when it was called short of the regulation nine innings.
 Joe Potts held the Tabs in check in his City league debut and the Pirates won on s-2 victory in a rather one-sided contest which nev. CT. however. degenerated into a run away. The Cardinals and Rangers battled grimly for nine we'll played innings before the Cardinals finally emerged with 4-2 decision.

Play was called at the end of this frame to allow the Junior City league game to go on. and the Burritt management notified that it would protest the contest. The protest was based on the ground that there was still one minute tc play before the 1 o'clock limit sci by the league.
 The Burritts scored first in the second inning when Bjorklund fum. bled grounder and Stanley Bud. nick and Kania singled. In the third the West Ends staged a real rally A bad error by Budnick started things. Blanchard then hit through the tree in right field for two bases and. after Basil went out.

Runor Has It He Will Have
 Important Job

Cape Town. South Africa. Nov. 2. h-The suggestion is being made in political, circles, both here and in England. that the Duke of G1ouces ter, third son of the King of Eng land. take over the governorship of South. Africa when next it falls vacant.
 The fact that political prepara- tions, according 10 reliable sources, are now under way to test the ac- tual desire of the South African government shows that the sug gestion has passed the ''rumor stage.
 The present governor general is the 54-year- old Earl of Athlone, brother of Queen Mary. He has been in office since 1923 and last year consented to serve a secon: term only upon great pressure ex. erted by the South African govern ment. His term expires in 1881. but he may. of course, resign when ever he likes.
 The Duke of Gloucester is now in Africa with his brother. the Prince of Wales. He will go by easy stages. stopping for some big game hunts. from Nairobi down through Tanganyika, by way of Northeast Rhoiesia, the Zamhesi river and Lake Bangelulu. to the railway at Ndola. From there he will come on to Cape Town arriv- ing here in. time for Christmas
