Falkner put in a teaser, but Smithy was all there. I have never seen a team get such a greulling for a quarter of an hour as the Motors did, but I take of my hat to the entire defense, every man doing his bit. The Ulster team seemed to loose heart a'ter; 'his, and Hurst kept -urging on his men who responded nobly, Motors put an' the pressure and Ulster got the wind up. McManus broke through from a pass from McGreish, passed to Sethrang, and with only the goal ten- der tg beat, struck the post and went past. Ulster at last came. away ahd Tullerton in tackling Golloway in the pendlly box, -accidentally tripped him and - fell heavy himself. The referee gave a penalty to Ulster, which Gra- ham took, but to the delight of the visitors large following, Smithy brought off a great score.

JOHN in "ROPED IN" SERIAL BOY SCOUTS "Whippet", Driven By Ewart McLaughlin, Takes Lake Rosseau Victory Trere were six classes of motor boat races this year at the 34th an- naol Regatta of the Muskoka Lakes Association held July 30 to Aug. 1 at the Golf and Country Club on i Lake Rosseaun. The classes were fairly well filled and were keenly contested and plenty of eycitement was provided on the turns, where the larger boats especially keeled over at apparently alarming angles. Much interest was caused by the outboard motor--or skimming dish--class. These small boats with their canoe weight con- struction and 8 h: p. motors made astonishing speed as they galloped and skidded around the course. The winner averaged over 20 miles per hour, Perhap: the most interesting race was the free-for-all championship of the Muskoka Lakes, open to any boat. This was won by the ""Whip- pet," owned and driven by Ewart Mclaughlin of Oshawa. J. H. Hill- man of Pittsburgh, Pa., in the "Pro- hibition" was second and C. J. Ham- lin of Buffalo was third. The race was 16 miles long or 'eight laps around the course. Hamlin got away first with the "Whippet" and "Pro- hibition" ' some littl, distance be- hind. The "Whippet," getting the ! rough .swells from the other boats, did not take second place until the |10 mile mark, but at the 12 mile ipoint it took the lead from the "Prohibition,"" which had passed Hamlin a few laps earlier, after rumn- ping neck and neck for several miles. With clear water the "Whip- pet" steadily increased her lead and finished first by a comfortable mar- gin. The "Prohibition" was second and the Hamlin third. This is the second year in succession that Ewart McLaughlin has won the Muskoka championship in the "Whippet." This boat is equipped with a 200 h. p. French aeroplane engine, which |was converted for marine use. To la local concern--the Moffatt Motor .Sales-- much of the credit jis due for some of the "Whippet's" most ful features. Incidentally the normal supply of oil in this motor is 8 gall while the gasoline tanks Lold close to 50 gallons. It is cap- 'able of a speed between 40 and 50 Ken Mayard in "Somewhere Sonora" Be ee] miles per sour.

The prize winners are then 'decided by drawing lots--one draw | being aMowed ofr every chamce won {in the Yace: In this event the "Whip- pet" showed her superior speed, but first place was drawn by"s Detroit 'boat and second by Pittsburgh.

O'Hara's men lost the Tirst game 7 to 2 and won the second 7 to 4. Some weak defensive baseball brought about Joe Maley's defeat. But then the Leafs could not hit Sonny Horne after the first Inning. so probably would have absorbed the trouncing even if they had given Maley the support his twirl- ing deserved, The Leafs scored twice in the opening chapter of the first half of the bargain bill on a walk to Spencer, a flelding choice on Styles, Walsh's double and a single by Hargrave, During the balance of the game they accumulated four hits, one to an inning off Horne, who gave the finest exhibition of twirling he has ever shown on a Toronto lot, Joe Maley held the Trive to two hits and no runs until the fifth Then hits by Manger, Shanks anc Silva, and a boot by Lamotte, eased over two runs, the tying crossing the plate when the lLeats' shortstop made his dally hobble, Maranville's tripie and a single hy, Kunesch gave the Tribe another run and the lead in the sixth, They clinched the game In the seventh on Sliva's single, Rapp's double, a Gilhooley, an- other three hase smash hy Maran ville and a one base hit by Kunesch all for four runs, The hits played a hig part in the rally, so did errors of commissiol by Jacobson and Whitehouse, and those of omission by other player who should know better, Mervin Jacobson had a lot to say ih the victory gained in the secon game, But then he was long over- due with that bat of his. "Jake" hammered out two home runs, one in the first inning and the other in the third, apd each blow came with a man on base. Therefore, the fermer Oriole and Trolley Dodzer who has not been hitting his we'gh! in recent games, accounted for four of his team's seven runs, and the Leafs only won by three. It seems as if "Jake" had quite a say in the victory, even if he did play Maranville's drive to right centre for three bases in the third like a sandlotter. The old ball game was practically won in the first inninz after the Tribe had grabbed off a lead of two in their half on three hits two of them of the infield kind an error by Lamotte, and some Aumb play- | ing on the part of the So'man-Dunn hired help.

Rene Fonck, French war ace, will soon attempt a. non-stop flight from New York to Constantinople, the longest :in the history of aviation. He will be accompanied by Lieut. L. W. Curtin, US N., in a Sikorsky aeroplane, which is now nearin~ completion at College Peoint, LI. The flight will cover about 5,100 miles if successful. Fonck and Curtin crashed la:t September in their effort to take off from Roosevelt Field, L.I., for Paris, in a Sikorsky plane. Jacob Islamoff, a mechanic, and Charles Clavier, radio operator, were burned to death im the wreckage. Fonck arrived here .last April, bringing with him two Bristol Jup- iter radial air-cooled emgzimes. The proposed route will traverse France, Germany, Austria, Rumania, and Bulgaria. the goal cannot be reached. Helen: "What are y~u knitting, Alice?" Alice: "Somethin= to cheer up the boys."

Freddy Conant or Red Cockburn will do the hurling for the Danforths and cither one of them is alone worth while seeing in action, while Compers at the red-light corner is rated as the best sacrifice hitter in Toronto's ama- teur ranks. Terry in right field is the batting sensation of the Viaduct League and boys-oh-boy how he can hit. Also in , Fleming and Eddie Ashton the Dan- forths have two ex-Osler players who are pretty to look at.

These games are both being played at Alexandra Park and to pick a win- ner from this series is like shooting at the moon. It will be a real argu- ment. From all angles it should and is creating a tremendous Interest locally, as the two teams are the best in the province and called by many to go through to the Cham- pionship. Motors' stock went away up when they knocked of the cham- pion Ontario McCormick club so handily on the holiday, while St, Andrew's had a successful doy up around North Bay. By the interest displayed it looks as though a record crowd for Jun: for ball will be out on Saturday and Monday to see these twn teams fight it out for the championship, and fight is sure the best thing that these two teams do.

Christians' Pinch Hits Wins Cobourg Game 7 to 3 Local Intermediates' Victory Makes Third Game Neces- sary to Decide Finals Con- testant < Christian Intermediates made a third game necessary to decide the team which will meet Port Hope in the play offs for the Intermediate Highway League Championship when they de- feated Cobourg in a fast game of ball at Alexandra Park last night by a 7 to 3 score. Hard hitting in the pinches and weak fielding by Cobourg when it was most needed to be otherwise, was responsible for Christians' victory "Lefty" Gowar went the route for the local intermediates and turned in a consistant game all the way, show ing plenty of stuff and steady contro which only faltered three times throug! the charity channel. The brilliant spots in the game however were the work of Christians, outfield especially Frink in the center garden and Jack Broad' receiving as well as his successful da: at bat. Kallar, Conlin and Roddicl also stood out for the Oshawa men Hardly anyone on the Cobourg tean drew favorable notice from the fan owing to the fact that nearly ever one of them pulled some blunder om the field which marred their perform ance. Mackey; the center fielder, ha the best batting average for them wit two hits in five times at bat, Cobourg were the first to score an they weren't long finding their wa home on the strapge diamond. Th very first man up in the first inning was hit by a pitched ball and prompt ly' went to third on a hit by Butler He remained there however whil Gower gave Coole the pleasure « lashing at three hooks, but Mackay upset the ink pot when he cam through with his first hit, to scor Hutton. Payne, who followed Macke: to bat, was hit by a pitched hall to fil the bases and it seemed for a time that the Christians would be lucky i they could get off with only a quar tette being sccred against them, bu Gower pulled them out of the fire when he struck out the next two bat ters in first class style. Came Back Christians came hack for their first dip into run bucket in the second frame when the tail end of the batting order went on a spree and combined a fielder's 'choice, error, stolen base, a walk and a hit to' go for three runs, with Elliott, Huxtable and Gower playing the leading parts. The next score was in the fourth when Chris- tians got the most earned run of the day, with Gower doubling into right to be followed by another double from Kellar which went through in the di- ample time to canter home with the rection of second base and gave Gower run. Both teams came in with a plus one in the fifth, with Broad counting for Christians and Payne for Cobourg. Broad got to first on a single into center field and went to second when McMann walked Frink; scoring when Boundy dropped Elliott's fly in left today befone 89,000 fans coming out in front hy 8 to 6 in the final struggle after losing the fiirst con- test by 6 to 5. It was the largest midweek crowd of the season and Lou Gehrig was loudly applauded when he drove out home runs, one in each game, running his season's total to 37. Gehrig is now three runs ahead of Ruth, A four-run drive polished off Heil- mann's four-bagger with Manush. on base in the fifth inning decided the Tigers' victory. through eight innings in the second through eiht innings in the second contest and then gave way to Moore as the Bengals staged a fourrum ral- ly in the final session. Rothrock's batting was the main factor in Boston's 2 to 1 victory over Chicago at Boston. His single in the first developed into the first run and his single in the seventh brought in what proved to be the winning run. Thomas and Ruffing fought an old-fashioned pitching duel but the Red Sox fielding was superior. The Athletics won both ends of a double-header from Cleveland at Philadelphia winning the first by 9 to 2 and the second by 7 to 4. The Athletics hit Joe Shaute hard in the first game, while Eddie Rom- mel held the Indians to seven hits. The Athletics put the second game beyond rach by scoring three runs in the fifth.

He was chased to third on Conlin's error at short and came home when the ball found its way out into the outfield. Cobourg realized their third and last run of the game in the seventh stanza when Hutton made it his second of the day. He opened the inning with a single and went to third on Coole's hit to right field. Coole stole second and in the g¢hrow to catch him, Hutton came home, the throw back to Broad from Kellar going high in an attempt to catch him. Critical Eighth Two runs, two hits and two errors developed in the eighth when Chris- tians went on the war path for the last time. Gower rapped out his second hit of the day to start the fun but he was retired when Conlin hit down to hortstop and was himself safe on a ielder's choice. Conlin went to third m a bad looking error in right field vhich might have been a good catch ad it been played right.
