HYPE HALT.— THE CANADA CHAMPIONSHIP. 



A. (Jaiiada puper in refui ring to lie corn- 

 ing struggle for championship honors in the 

 Dominion says: "The rivalry that- has ex- 

 isted between the leading clubs, in Ontario, 

 in years past, will lose none of its intensity 

 the coming season. In the early da'ys there- 

 was red hot opposition between Hamilton 

 and Woodstock; later, Quelph and Duniitis; 

 and then finally Guelph and London, be- 

 tween whom the war is now waging. Uutil 

 this last fitrlil the contests, it might be said, 

 •were conducted on an amateur basis, but 

 now both of these dubs have thrown off the 

 gossamer mask, and boldly taken their stand 

 among i he professional nines of America. It 

 is a matter of history that London won the 

 Canadian championship last year, having 

 without doubt the strongest team in this 

 country. Guelph is not, willing to lose the 

 proud name it held for years, as being cock 

 of the walk, and tliis year ha* made extra- 

 ordinary exertions to re-capture the whip- 

 pennant, by importing quite a number of 

 strong players from the United States. Lon- 

 don has also strength! ned its team, and 

 the games between these two clubs will be 

 classed with the most exciting sporting 

 events of the year. The other clubs who 

 aspired to the championship honors last 

 season appear to be m u torpid state.. The 

 chances of Kingston, Toronto, or Hamilton, 

 against either London or Guelph, without 

 the assistance of salaried players would he 

 quite small, and if no changes -are made in 

 Hie championship rules, U is altogether likely 

 the i wo professional clubs will li'tive the fight 

 all to themselves. 



"Tilt" playeTS of the London and Guelph 

 nines for 1S77 will he as follows: — 



• 'London — Teeumneh, — Powers, c, Captain; 

 Goldftmith, p; Bradley (late of the Bostons,) 

 lb uuil change pitcher; Siimc-iviUe (late of 

 the Louisville-,) 2b; Doescber (late of the 

 Buokeyes of Columbus, Ohio,) lib; Knodell, 

 (lute or New Havens, )s sand change catcher; 

 Hliincn, r f ; Hunter, r f ; Hornuug, If; and 

 Leary, sub. 



h— Maple Leaf.— Sena Hastings, 

 (lateof tlicLoui.-villo,) c; Sullivan, (late of 

 the Detroit iEinas,) p; L>aphum, lb; Gilles- 

 pie, (h Chicago graduate,) 2b; Dixon, (late 

 of the Taunton and Auburn nines,) 3b; 

 Wekh.ss; T. Smith, 1 1'; W. Smith, cf and 

 change pitcher; J. Hewer, c f ; and, probably, 

 Hot tiling (laic of_lhc Hions,) r f and change 

 catcher." 



— The- second annual meeting of the Cana- 

 dian Base Ball Association will take place 

 in Toronto on April 5th. Clubs belonging 

 to or desirous of joining the Association 

 should not be lardy in organizing and remit- 

 ting the annual fee of $2 to the Treasurer, 

 Mr. W. F. Mountain, Toronto. 



The Convention will doubtless adopt the 

 League code of rules. 



— George Hull has signed with the Louis- 

 villes, in which case their nine will be as 

 follows. Delvin, pitcher; Snyder, catcher; 

 Latham, Gerhard t, and Hague, on the 

 bases; (raver Latterly, short stop, with 

 Ryan, Hall, and Schalter, in the out-field, 

 and Crawley as the substitute. 



—An effort is being made in Philadelphia 

 to rui-e a strong co-operative professiona. 

 nine that will prove worthy rivals of the 

 Athletics: The veteiau, Tom Pratt, is men- 

 tioned as the leading spirit in this new club, 

 which will be selected from the many dis 

 engaged professionals now in Philadelphia, 

 including McGtnley, Abadie, Qumtou, Hen- 

 liel, and Cutlibert. Au excellent nine could 

 be easily raised, and the Athletics will serve 

 Iheir own interests best by encouraging the 

 Formation of an honest rival nine. 



— About two weeks ago a younglady broke 

 through the ice of a deep skating pond near 

 Toronto, and a young man rescued her at the 

 risk of his own life. As the half-drowned 

 girl was recovering consciousness her agon- 

 ized father arrived on the spot. Taking one 

 of her cold, while hands in one of his own, 

 he reached out the olher for the hand of her 

 rescuer, but the young man realizing his dan- 

 ger, with one frightened glance broke for 

 the woods, and was soon lost to view. He 

 has not been heard of since, and it is sup- 

 posed that he is traveliug in the United 

 Suites under the false and hollow name of 

 Smith. 



A Toad-Eating; Ply.— Nature, among 

 those occasional odd freaks wherein she 

 seems to oveiiurn her own laws, often re- 

 vetses in the strangest manner the condi- 

 tions of destroyer and prey. Toads, it, is 

 Well known, live on insects, and for this 

 reason are valuable aids to farmers and 

 gardeners in protecting their crops. Lule- 

 ly there has been discovered au insect which 

 lives ou toads, and which afflicts those rep- 

 tiles in away that suggests the concentra- 

 ted revenge of the whole insect class. It 

 deposits its eggs ou the eye of the toads, 

 arid the larv:e. iu the form of minute white 

 worms, devour not only those organs but 

 the no^e and jaws of the untortunate bat- 

 riciiin. Curiously enough, the toads do not 

 seem to suffer, but continue their usual 

 habits apparently undisturbed, The name 

 a has been given Uw fly.--

Brown, jun. — Aw — 'pon m'word, don't, 

 know what I saw 'xacily; only I know I

 same time.
