Komonen, however, did not win the classic without s. terrific battle. Little Mel Porter of the Irish-Amer- ican A. C., of Newark, N. Jt, fought stubbornly the entire 26 miles, 385 yards to lose out only when the To- ronto man burst loose with a mighty spring in the last 100 yards.

The winner's time was two hours, 53 minutes, 43 seconds, some 22 minutes slower than the American record set by Pawson at Boston when Komonen finished second.

illiE CRUISE

(Canadian Press)

WINNIPEG, June ill-With only Flip, his police dog, as a compan- ion, W. Jamleson Field, former Toronto newspaperman, has em- barked in a small sail-boat on a cruise which _he hopes will land him in New York harbor, 5,500 miles away about the first oi Oc- tober.

Inland mariners describe his pro- posed trip as the craziest venture- ever attempted. Field is not an ex- perienced sailor, having gained all his knowledge of how to handle a craft in two weeks on the Red River between Winnipeg and Sel- kirk. Experienced boatsmen claim his little vessel cannot withstand

the buffetlng it will receive on Hudson Bay and the Atlantic Ocean.

Field's projected course is down the Red River to Lake Winnipeg, thence through Playgfeen Lake. and up the Nelson River to Hudson Bay where he will stop at Moose Factory for provisions and boat re- pairs if necessary. He then faces the Quebec coast line into Hudson Straits. For the remainder oi the trip he will be at the mercy oi the Atlantlc_

‘Despite disparaging remarks by old-time boatmen, “Bill" Field is confident he can make the 3,000 miles to be traversed on ocean wat- er down the Labrador coast, skirt- ing the province oi Nova Sootia and into New York harbor. Par- ticularly interested in Indian folk- lore, Field is seeking material for a book.

Lake seamen shake their heads and say he will be lucky ii he reaches New York by New Years Day, if at all.

He was only 33 years old and was born in Nottingham, England. where his father still lives.

Pilot Martin received his com- mission when ha was 17 years of age, and saw service in the Royal Air Force in Italy during the War. At the conclusion of the war he became an instructor in the Not- tingham Aero Club. Subsequently he came to Canada, and served as a pilot in the Canadian Airways on various runs. Three years ago he flew on the Montreal to Mone- ton mall route on the Trans-Can- ada service. He later served on the Toronto-Detroit run.

All those interested in cricket are asked to be on hand at Victoria Park this evening for practice.

NATIONAL HOCKEY RUMORS

There are changes impending in the National Hockey League. The latest barb wire despatch is to the effect that the New York Ameri- cans are liable to change hands. In fact, it might not be surprising if William Vincent Dwyer sold the team to his former associate Col- onel John Hsmmond. The latter is reported to have done quite well by himself in recent market move- ments. He is anxious to get back into hockey, is believed to be dick- ering for the team. It is all more or less rumor, but a few moves in that direction have been made. Cooper Smeaton is mooted ns man- ager. Other hockey moves place Cooney Welland with Canadians next winter. Ottawa is reported very much interested in Albert Ieduc and Johnny Gagnon. Leo Dandurand in Ottawa at present has conferred with Frank Ahearn. Results should he disclosed later. Routine denials from Chicago the deal for Gardiner involving Burke, Starr and Halnsworth for Gardiner do not dispose of the belief that the deal will be announced ill Septem- ber.
