In the third inning, Grimsby scored ten runs and in the fifth inning again put six runners across the plate. Scott, pitching for the Kings, allowed only six scattered hits, while his team mates collected fifteen off Quatâ€" trine. Tufford, Hyland and Scott each got three hits to lead the Grimsby hitters.

LOCAL and D1iTS TRICT LEHIGH VALLEY ANTHRACITE HAMCO AND STELCO COKE â€" WOOD "It Is Harder And Lasts Longer" GRIMSBY, ONTARIO ORDER Leafs Schedule Drawing To Close The Toronto Maple Leafs Baseâ€" ball team take on the fastâ€"stepping Newark Bears for a threeâ€"day serâ€" ies, starting with the benefit game tonight, (Thursday), August 22, another floodlight on Friday, conâ€" cluding the series with a doubleâ€" header on Saturday afternoon, August 24. Single night games start at 8.30 and Saturday afterâ€" noon double bills at 2 p.m. SPORTING NEWS Start Series With Newark Bears Tonightâ€"KFinish Seaâ€" son On Sept. l4th Against Montreal. f After August 29 the Leafs have only four more home series before the end of the season. The visitâ€" ing clubs are Montreal on August 29, 30 and 31; Rochester on Sepâ€" tember 2 and 3; Buffalo on Septemâ€" ‘ber 4, 5, 6 and 7; iand Montreal again on September 12, 13 and 14. All these games are night games except the Saturday afternoon game on August 31, the Labor Day Doubleâ€"header with Rochester on September 2, the doubleâ€"header with Buffalo on September 7, and the last game of the season with Montreal on the 14th. Followers of the Leafs have been enthusiastic over the special nights the club has been putting on this summer in conjunction with the Baseball Booster‘s Club. Father and Son Night is the most popuâ€" lar of all these special nights and the last one of the current season is being staged on September 4. Roy Worters, the old N. H. L. goalie, is now the energetic Presiâ€" dent of the Boosters‘ Club and he is responsible in large measure for these special nights. He is the man who thinks up the novelty events that delight kids and adults alike. He always has a number of conventional events like sprints and throwing for accuracy on the proâ€" gramme, but the big hits of the previous nights have been the bolo contests and the wheelbarrow and balloon races, which never fail to panic the crowd. Roy Worters promises something brandâ€"new in this line for the night of Septemâ€" ber 4, when the Leafs entertain the Buffalo Bisons. When the Leafs come nome off their current tenâ€"day road jaunt, they will have a new figure out there at shortstop in place of the sprightly Freddy Chapman, who has been recalled by the Philadelâ€" phia Athletics. Chappy‘s replaceâ€" ment is Bill Lillard, who was purâ€" chased by Connie Mack from San Francisco at the end of the 1938 season for a reported $45,000. That season he hit .335 against Doubleâ€" A pitching on the west coast. Bill is not exiactly unfamiliar to Toronto fans. He played for the Baltimore Birds during 1939. He is one of those skilful fielding shortstops who make hard plays look easy because they study the hitters and shift around for them. At the first glance his batting mark of .263 iat Baltimore seems unimpressive, but a second look shows that while batting in eighth position he drove in no less than 73 runs, which makes it look as though he is at his ‘best in the clutches. Only 21 years of age, he broke into professional ‘baseball with the Tucson Club in the Arizonizsâ€"Texas League four years ago. PT.COLBORNE OR SIMGOE PLAY PEACH KINGS HERE TOMORROW NIGHT AT 6:30 Grimsby Peach Kings, by winâ€" ning the first round of the O.A. S.A. Intermediate "B" playâ€" downs, now go up against either Port Colborne or Simcoe here toâ€"morrow night (Friday) at 6:30 sharp. Local fans should get behind the home team and help support the best softball team to carry the Grimsby colors in many years. They are a well balanced aggregation and have the pitchâ€" ing to carry them far along the playdown trail. This Friday evening should be the supreme test, as Port Colborne have one of the strongâ€" est teams in Ontario in their class and fans are assured of an exciting hour at the local Public School Grounds. The admission fee is small, so be out in full force and give the Kings your support.

The Grimsby Peach Kings provâ€" ed themselves to be too strong for the Thorold team, when they handâ€" ed them a 15â€"4 defeat to take the second game and the series 33 to 7.

The various committees are now arranging plans for the show which was organized by a special committee to take the place of the annual fourâ€"day show which was postponed in June this year beâ€" cause of war conditions. The show will commence Labor Day morning and continue until early evening. At night a Gdance will be held at the St. Catharines Golf Club to conclude the program. The exchange of goodâ€"neighbor visits between the Provinces of Ontario and Quebec has been a pleasing feature of the holiday season this summer, Bound closely together geographically and in a score of other ways, Onâ€" tario and Quebec are as different as night and day . . . different in language, customs, laws and, to some extent, climate. The average man or woman from Ontario finds Quebec City as foreign as any of the cities of Europe. Walk through lower town, outside Quebec‘s famous wall, and talk to some of the peoâ€" ple on the street. You will hear the musical French language spoken on all sides, and most of the English you hear will have Ontario Flocks to Ancient Quebec ‘The Grimsby Golf course is beâ€" ing well patronized by members and friends and a very good season is being enjoyed.

ONAL EXHIBITION Quebec has, of course, the same forms of summer recreation as Ontario but it is the setting that is different. That is why the proâ€" vince has played such an imporâ€" tant part in the holiday plans of Ontario people this year. Good roads have enticed more Ontario cars to Quebec this season than ever before and the good people of each province are getting to know one another as never before. even the farms are different. Their smallness and narrowness dates back a few hundred years to the days when the river was the only route for travel. On some farms the equipment and buildâ€" ings show great age, paint is genâ€" erally brighter than in Ontario and occasionally cattle turn out to be oxen. BASEBALL FOOTBALL AND TENNIS T. 220A
