Chevs Put Up Great Battle for Honors and Were Equally as Good as Their Opponents -- Lost Great Opportunity to Win Out in Second Game of Series -- Hard Pill to Swallow for Local Fans But There is Another Coming Displaying a lack of batting ability in the pinches, but showing plenty of pep, the Oshawa Chevrolets went down to defeat Saturday afternoon at Oak- ville in the third and deciding game against St. Thomas Church team of St. Catharines. The score. was 4 to 3 and it gave the Churchmen the inter- mediate championship of the Ontario Amateur Softball Association. By vir- tue of their win the Expositor Trophy donated by the Brantford Expositor Publishing Company will go to St. Kitts, It is at present held by a Brant county team, Chevrolets suffered their second loss in two years when beaten and up un- til last Thursday, the locals had not lost either a league or play-off game. It was a bitter pill to swallow; Sat- urday's loss which incidentally meant a championship, and the Motor boys felt it hard. Three rousing cheers and many husky handshakes were exchang- ed between the champs and the losers, Manager Hill warned Manager Holmes there would be a much stronger team to battle next year, Last year St. Kitt's won the Niagara and District Softball League, but were not in the Ontario Association, They are hold- ers of an enviable win and loss re- cord. While the Cheyrolets did not hit overly well, the St. Thomas boys were aided not a little by getting nearly every "break" of the game. In fact during the series they have been helped materially by unfortunate hap- penings. A bad error in the outfield allowed the winning run to tally, A wonderful peg and an erratic decision at the plate caused the tying run Sat- urday, Webster, the local pitcher, did not seem in his usual good form although he pitched fair ball, One inning, however, he allowed the bases to fill up with free passes. He managed, by the support of his team-mates, to get out of this pinch. He was replaced by May in the ninth and although the latter twirledsonly an inning, he show - ed good form and plenty of speed. Pol- lock, the winning pitcher, looked good, although he was invariably in trouble. Short notice killed a good attend- ance and what few people were at the park were attracted there by the rug- by game staged by collegiate teams. Quite a few supporters from Oshawa and St, Catharines were on hand and gave plenty of support to their respec- tive teams. The Ontario body called the game hurriedly and according to Oakville fans, hundreds from the town would have attended had the event been made known locally. A more de- tailed account of play 1s given below. Neat Double Play Holmes, the first St. Kit's batter to face Webster sent a long single out to centre field and he was made out when Gummow threw to May and the latter in turn sent the ball up to Hubbell It was as nice a double play as one would care to see in any ball game. Hallett made the third out when he grounded to Gummow who threw to Hubbell at first. No runs, one hit and no errors, Chevrolets got two hits in their part of the initial inning. Young, first up, hit to left field, but on a fielders' choice by Gummow, went out, pitcher to second base. The latter went to second when Rowden hit a beauty down past the short stop. Both run- ners advanced on a wild pitch un- corked by Pollock. The next two bat- ters, Hubbell and Webster, both grounded out to third and short re- spectively and were thrown out at first. No runs, two hits and no errors. Only three opposing batters faced Webby in the second inning, and each of these went down on meagre flies and a grounder. Allen Coull, who by the way, is the player that won. last Thursday's game in St. Catharines, flied out to Rowden behind the plate. Pollock, the pitcher, did the same hut Young in right field made the catch W. Coull grounded out, the play being May to Hubbell. No runs, no hits gnd no errors. Following the style set by their op- ponents in their half of the inning, Chevrolets went out in one, two, three fashion. May foul tipped to Holmes for the first out, then in quick order Joyce and H. Luke grounded to sec- ond and short, respectively, and were thrown out at first. No runs, no hits and mo errors. The third was sweet and snappy for St. Catharines. Grasey flied out to Young in centre field and Darling did the same to Gummow. Howe, "Push "Em Up, Toney," grounded to second and was thrown out at first. No rums, no hits and no errors. First Two runs from two hits was the booty secured in their portion of the third. The most sensational and clean- est hit of the afternoon was furnished A-------- 19¢ Children's Stockings 68 King St. W. Phone 2141 i 1925 Word Tudor Sedan,' balloon many extras. from the bat of Doc. Rowden. To start things, H. Hall struck out. Young hit down past second base. He was ad- vanced to second on Gummow's sacri- fice fly and was brought home when Rowden hit a three bagger. The latter scored on a wild pitch by Pollock, Hubbell made the third out when he grounded out. Two runs, two hits and no errors. St. Catharines came back and made the score two to one in their section of the fourth, To start things Hub- bell dropped a throw and Holmes remained on the bag. He was assisted to second by Loundsbury's hit to short. Both were advanced and Holmes scor- ed on a fielder's choice by W. Coull, The next three men went out succes- sively, There was one run, one hit and one error. A clean homer by Doug. May fea- tured the fourth. The first man to face Pollock, in this inning was Webster. He struck out for the first out, Then May went up and slammed his four base wallop. It was a long hit to deep left that forced the batter to only a usual jaunt around the sacks. Joyce got on safely on a shortstop's error and H. Luke flied out to second. H. Hal went out via the air route to right eld. The visiting team threatened in the i plete the play, fifth, Six men faced Webster and three of them reached first base. The first man, W. Coull, grounded out to Joyce who threw to Hubbell to com- Grasey walked and managed to be a dangerous man on the hases. He went to second when Web ster gave Horne a base on balls, Dar- ling had previously struck out making two men out, a double steal sent Hosne to second and Grasey to third. Holmes walked filling the bases. 'Hubbell went to foul territory and successfully made a catch that made Loundsbury out. It was the third out and there were no runs, no hits and no errors, The Cheyrolets were not hitting the way they should have. Only one hit was secured in the fifth, Young, first man up, grounded out to Loundsbury at third and the latter threw to first, Gummow hit safely, but that is as far as he got. Rowden and Hubbell both tied out to centre field, No runs, one hit and no errors, The fruit districters went one nearer their goal in the sixth when they got their second run. Hallett hit safely to short and was advanced by Allen Coull who also hit. A long fly by Pol- lock helped the base runners not a little in getting to second and third respectively. Hallett scored on W. Coull's hit and Allen Coull went to third. Pollock stole second and stayed there for Grasey made the third 'out when he flied out to centre field. There was one run, three hits and no errors. The Oshawa boys showed up a little better in the sixth and got two hits. Webster started things when he hit to long centre. May sacrificed him to second with a fly to right field. Web- ster went to third on W, Coull's hit. The latter stole second and remained there stranded. Grasey flied out to centre and was the third man out. There were no runs, two hits and no errors. Horne was the first man up in the seventh for St. Kitt"s, He flied out to Webster. Holmes grounded to the pitcher and was thrown out at first. Loundsbury walked and went to sec- ond on Hallett's hit. A. Coull struck out and made thrce outs. There were no runs, onc hit and no errors, The Motor boys went out successive- ly. Young flew out to centre. Gum- mow struck out and Rowden went out on a peg from right field by Grasey to Holmes at the piate. The local boy had walloped the ball for three bases and appeared to have made a homer, but he ran away out on the third to home baseline, thus allowing plenty of time for the sphere to get into Holmes' hands. Rowden rolled over the plate and it seemed as though he couldn't nelp but touch the plate. The um- pire ruled him out, however. It was a nice peg on Grasey's part. There was no runs, no hits and no errors. Home Run Winning Tally The game was won in the eighth. Pollock, the visiting pitcher, had the honor of scoring the tying run. He hit a single and went to second on May's error. A passed ball helped him to third. Then a homer by Darling cleared the bases. It should have been only a double, but an error in the out- field allowed the runncr to advance. W. Coull flied out to the catcher. Grascy did likewise to right field and Horne also followed suit. There were two runs, two hits and an error. Two flies to left field by Hubbell and Webster and a grounder from catcher to first comprised the results of Osh- awa's eighth inning. There were no runs, no hits and mo errors. The ninth and final inning was a snappy one. Holmes of St. Kitt's struck out. Loundsbury grounded to the Oshawa shortstop who threw to first. Hallett flied to right. There were no runs. mo hits and no errors. All local hopes were shattered when two flies and a grounder resulted in three outs. Joyce and H. Luke did the aerial stunt by sending the pill to left and over second base respectively, and H. Hall grounded out to short and was thrown out at first. There were no runs, no hits and no errors.

BALMY BEACH HAS LITTLE DIFFICULTY IN BEATING TIGERS Hamilton, Oct. 24--Balmy Beach, of Toronto, experienced no difficulty in disposing of Hamilton Tigers to the tune of 26 to 3 in an Ontario Football Union game here Saturday afternoon, It was weight that told, and the To- ronto heavyweights repeatedly de- molished the light Hamilton line, crashing through for yards time and again. Tigers fought "gamely," and through strenuous efforts managed to hold the visitors to seven points in the initial half, but the strain hegan to tell as the end of the game neared and Beaches went over for three more touchdowns. The locals scored only twice, with a safety touch in the third quarter and a rouge in the fourth. "Red" Moore, fast Toronto back, was the star periormer of the day, contributing a long series of beauti- tul runs "Yip" Foster was a close second, and Ponton and Billings werc prominent, On the Tiger side Smith- son, Bewley, Crawford and Haywocd turned in the best games. It was good weather, with dull sky and light, but threat of rain kept the crowd to a- bout 1,000, U. OF T. SCHOOLS SMOTHER COBOURG BY 62 TO 1 SCORE Toronto, Oct. 24--University of Toronto Schools, local O.R.F.U, In- terscholastic representatives, defeat- ed Cobourg Collegiate in a league fixture Saturday at U, of T., Stad- jum by 62 to 1. The local collegi- ans outweighed and outfooted the visitors, and the latter faltered un- der the pressure in the last half. But, despite, the disadvantages. the Cobourg players stood up valiantly, and, though mighty tired in the lat- ter stages, stuck to their guns cour- ageously and made U. T. S. earn every inch of their gains until the final whistle sounded. The tireless Jack Shields shared the honors with Copp, a 16-year-old newcomer, and Harry Cominsky, Fear and Heggie could not be stop- ped in their excursions through the wingline. "Tubby" Bennett ripped over for a pair of touchaowns and shai ed in the tackling honors with Keith. Quarterback Gilmore emulated the great "Pep" Leadley by dropping three goals from the field in ten minutes. Douglas Peacock ' handled the whistle. U. T. 8. will play an ex- hibition game on Wednesday at Up- per Canada College. U.

Toronto Argo- nauts, Tt was the first win of the season for the locals, and it gave them possession of third place, Argos being relegated to the cellar, The game was rather loosely played, with Ralph Harrison's goal from the field in the first period providing enough margin for a Montreal victory, Argos' two points were made by way of two singles, one in the second quar- ter and another in the third, The Montrealers were value for the win, their wing line outplaying the vi- ating front rank by a wide margin, The Toronto backfield, however, had an advantage on the local rearguard, but it was not wide enough to offset the advantage gained by the Montreal line, The Winged Wheelers took the lead in the first quarter on Harrison's neat field. goal from the 33-yard line. It was a fine effort by the diminutive quarter, who gave the best display he has shown since entering senior foot- ball from the intermediate ranks at the start of the 1920 season. In the second quarter when Argos were pressing and Montreal were in possession close to their own line he broke through centre ior a long dash which was only culminated when he had passed centre ficld, "Pee Wee" Chantler was magnifi- cent in defeat. The former Queen's backfield star caught faultlessly and ran back kicks with monotonous pre- cision. He was the fastest man on the field, Just before the final whistle be caught a long hoist by Booth be- hind his line, and, taking the ball on the run, ran it out to his 15-yard line before beng brought down. It was the dying effort of a hard fight to kecp Argos from defeat. i. LEAFS' ROSTER IS ALMOST COMPLETE Toronto, Oct. 24.--With two excep- tions, all the members of the Toronto Maple Leaf Hockey Club reporteo Saturday. The missing members are Beattie, Ramsay and Art Duncan. Ramsay will be here about the end oi the week, and Duncan's difference of opinion with the club-owners over the matter of salary is being arbitrat- cd by President Calder by mutual consent. The club directors tendered the players and officials a get-together luncheon at the King Edward Hotel Saturday noon. The boys were wel- comed back in brief addresses by Pet- er Campbell, E. H. Bickle and Conn Smythe. The latter will manage the team this year, and he gave the play- crs to understand that condition would be a factor in the team's success or failure this season. The training season of the team be- gins today. 1 .r the first week only light exercises will be indulged mn. 1 he boys will get a chance to display their wares on the ice on Tuesday morning at the Arena Gardens. The serious part of the traimng period will com- mence next week, when the team gets own to real business, and the fina selections are made. The players are looking particularly are keen to get on the ice ¢ 'I'here is promuse of some in- psting battles for regular positions. Ahe Maple Leafs will farm out five players to the Ravina Minor League team, and it will depend on theu showing during the practice period which players will be weeded out. YOUTH LOSES LIFE IN AEROPLANE CRASH Mount Clemens, Mich., Oct. 23-- Bernard Albright, 20 years old, of Detroit was instantly killed tonight, when a Packard field aeroplane, in which he was a passenger, crashed on the road mear here. The pilot, Hollis Woodworth, who escaped with slight injuries, has no license, and has made only three solo flights, it was said by officials at the field where he was taking a course im flying. Permission to take Albright afloat had not been granted Wood- worth, officials also declared. Witnesses said the plane went in- to a tail spin and then crashed. The body of Albright was found in the wreck. Oshawa' Collegiate by 29 to 5 Defeat Lindsay C.I. Motor City Students Have Little Difficulty in Disposing of Scngog Town's Football Representatives -- O. C. L Lads Continue to Improve in All Departments -- Take Early Lead Although minus the services of two of their regular and perhaps most val- uable players, Oshawa Collegiate rugby artists came through with colors fly- ing in a decidedly fast and exciting game played in Lindsay on Saturday afternoon when. they defeated Lindsay Collegiate Institute by a 29 to 5 score in an interscholastic' junior O.R.F.U. series game. The Motor City boys led all the way, the score by quarters be- ing 10-0, 13-5, 19-5 and 29-5, and as the score indicates, they were unques- tionably the better team in all depart- ments. Ay the result of this win, together with! that in Cobourg on the Saturday previous, Oshawa will now be meeting niversity of Toronto schools at Alex- andra Park next Saturday for the championship of the group, U.T.S. having also scored two victories to cause a present deadlock for the league leadership. It was team word with only very few examples of individual flashes, that was responsible for the green, gold and red's victory, The point scoring was well divided and the defensive work was also well distributed, showing again as ip the Cobourg game the well balanced and smooth working team which has this year been rounded into shape by coach M. F. Kirkland. Camp- bell, by a touchdown was responsible for Lindsay's five points while touch- downs by Cornwall, Deyman, Carver, Baird and Smith, in that order, and a kick to the deadline, a rouge and two converts were instrumental in mount- ing up Oshawa's total of twenty-nine. The game opened with Lindsay kick- ing off to Oshawa. Cornwall ran the kick back to his twenty-five yard line and on their first two scrimmages Osh- awa made yards, Smith and Hele to- gether carrying the ball about forty feet. Cutler followed with a ten yard smash around the right end and while Smith and Carver sent Lindsay back to their twenty yard line on another pair of straight bucks, no fake plays or end runs having yet been attempted, Lindsay strengthened ¢onsiderably at this stage and on the next two plays, also bucks, Oshawa failed to gain. On their third down and before Lindsay had even once gained possession of the hall, Bert Cornwall sent over a kick to the deadline which made it a 1 to 0 score for Oshawa after only about four minutes of play. With the play resuming with Lind- say in possession on their twenty-five yard line, it seemed for a tigre that they were going to jepeat the march which the visitors had started, when on their first play Spratt the quarter- back went through the center of the line on a fake play which netted him fifteen yards. An end run followed but was stopped in short order by Cutler with hardly a yard having been gained and when almost the same thing hap- pened on the next play, the homesters were forced to kick from about the middle of the field with their visions of a victorious march down the field shattered. Cornwall took the kick and advanced to the thirty yard line before he was hauled down. Good gains by Meek, Carver, Baird and Stott sent the ball into Lindsay territory while a 30 yard run by Cutler carried the ball to about nine yads out from the goal posts from where Cornwall went over for a touch- down which was unconverted, bringing the score to 6 to 0. On the kick off which followed, de- zidedly the longest and most sensa- tional gain of the day was seen when Baird took the ball on the run at his own ten yard line and romped through nearly the entire Lindsay team to be finally brought down when he had reached Lindsay's seven yard line to constitute a gain of almost the entire length of the field. On the following play, "Hank" Deyman side stepped and twisted his way to the second touch- down of the game, only a little more than a minute having elapsed since Lindsay's kick off following the previ ous touchdown. The convert by Smith succeeded in bringing the score 12 to Lindsay's kick off was again taken by Baird who passed to Cornwall fol- lowing a short run, who in turn carried the ball up to Oshawa's 35 yard line. Carver, Hele, Cutler and Cornwall on successive plays swept the ball up to Lindsay's twenty-five yard area and in the center of the field, and with only a minute to go to quarter time, a drop kick was attempted. It was unsuccess- ful but went behind the Lindsay line and resulted in one point by a rouge. The period ended with the home team resuming play on their twenty-five yard line. In the second quarter, with Lindsay taking the aggressive with the wind behind them, the play was much more evenly divided. After about ten min- utes of see-sawing the Scugog men succeeded in hammering over their on- ly score of the game, a series of ground gaining bucks and end runs paving the way. A twenty yard gain by Spratt who broke through the line on a cley- erly worked play followed by a plunge of about four yards which carried the ball to only a yard away from Osh- awa's line turned the trick. The touch- down which came from Campbell on the mext play barely had a foot to spare across the last white strip. With about three minutes left be- fore half time, Lindsay took Oshawa's kick off and proceeded to again work their way down the field but their 3d- vance was soon rudely stopped when Baird broke through the line on an ex- tension play and seized upon a loose ball to run it back almost 35 yards to within six feet of a touchdown before he was brought to earth. Before a single play could be called by the Osh- awa team, the whistle blew for half time denying them of an almost cer- tain score. After about seven minutes of fast and furious play at the beginning of the second half, Carver went over for Oshawa's third touchdown of the game which was nicely converted by Smith to bring the score up to the 19 to § mark where it remained until the last quarter. Carver's touch was preceded by some heavy line plunging {from Smith, Cutler and Deyman, the three together carrying the ball almost thir- ty yards up the field. Except for sev- eral fumbled balls and a thirty yard gain by Baird in running back a kick, the remainder of the quarter was un- eventful and ended with Lindsay in possession on their three yard line, Oshawa losing the ball through having failed in their attempt to gain yards on their last down. Lindsay kicked on first down at the opening of the last quarter to give Oshawa possession on the home team's 27 yard line. An end run to the left navigated by Fletcher and Baird net- ted Oshawa eight yards while a heal- thy buck by Cutler sent the pigskin down to 12 yards out from Lindsay's goal posts. Smith diminished the dis- tance by three yards and Carver took off another two, both on plunges to the outside of the line while on the last down with about five yards to go, Baird went over on an extension play for a touchdown which was unconvert- 2, making the count now stand 24 to Henry took Lindsay's kick off, fol- lowing the score, back to Oshawa's 30 yard area from where Oshawa made a steady but hard fought advance down the field thanks to some smart work from Stott, Cutler, Fletcher, Smith and Bondurant and a 25 yard run by Cornwall. With the ball 20 yards out from the Lindsay line they made their final effort and on, last down, Smith succeeded in scoring, to raise the tally for the last time with only a very few minutes left to go. In those few min- utes, however, the visitors started an- other trip up the field with Fletcher, McKay, Hele, Carver and Cornwall all contributing lengthy gains. With Osh- awa gomg thus as hard as ever and still in possession of the ball, the game ended, with the long end of the 29 to § count standing securely in the local tri-color's favor, Spratt, the captain and quarterback of the Lindsay team was easily their best man and he certainly may be said to have contributed a great deal in making Lindsay's opposition such that it was, For Oshawa, Carver, Corn- wall, Cutler, Smith, Deyman and Baird especially stood out in their ball car- rying activities while for defensive work, Bowden, Hele, Henry and Stott are equally deserving of credit. Corn- wall did the kicking for Oshawa and Galloway for Lindsay.

TIGERS DEFEAT OTTAWA 14 TO 7 Ottawa, Oct. 24.--In one of the most sensational football games seen here in years Hamilton Tigers Saturday afternoon won one of their greatest victories when they defeated the Do- minion champion Senators at Lans- down Park by 14 to 7. More than ten thousand people jammed into the big stands, encircled the playing field, and were in turn sunk in the depths and raised io the heights as the Yellow and Black clad crew showed all the football that champions should show and sent the Senators down to their bist defeat on home grounds since The defeat practically knocked Otta- wa out of the Big Four race. Tigers will have to drop one game to Argo- rauts and Ottawa will then have to defeat Tigers in Hamilton to let the Senators get back into the running, and, judging from yesterday's display, there is little chance of this occurring. There is no discounting the Tiger vic- tory. They outplayed the Senators along the wing line throughout prac- tically the entire 60 minutes, and Lead- ley was a whole backfield in himself. BOY UNINJURED WHEN HIT BY CAR London, Ont., Oct. 23--Driving west on York Street Saturday after. noon, Alfred Hardley, 230 Maitland Street, struck a smatl boy who dart- ed out from behind a parked car. Hardley, in reporting the accident to the police, said the boy was not injured and refused to give him his name. County police raided the Lewis barber shop in Lucan last night, with the result that a gambling charge will be laid against the pro- prietor on Monday. High Constable Wharton reports finding many young boys on the premises using a punchboard. COP'S BIKE STOLEN Ottawa, Oct. 23.--While investi- had his bicycle stolen by an on- looker. \ 1 MERCEDES GLEITZ DISAPPOINTED IN CHANNEL FAILURE Folkestone, Oct. 22--A desperate and gallant attempt to vindicate the claims of British women swimmers failed heroically yesterday, when Miss Mercedes Gleitz, London typist, who once before had conquered the English Channel, was dragged from the chil- ling water half-unconscious, but pro- testing against surrender. After swimming for nearly eleven hours the young woman was taken on the convoying tug by the advice of physicians, She had started from Cape Gris-Nez, France, and was with- in eight miles of the cliffs of Dover. She seemed as though asleep then, but returned after a brief rest. "1 won't cry over my failure," she said, half smiling through a semblance of tears, "although I am terriluy disap- pointed, and I will try again next vear." At 4.15 in the morning Miss Gleitz dived off from Cape Gris-Nez, and plowed through wind and roughened water; scarcely above degrees, She was accompanied by a jazz band and a group of newspaper reporters, who shivered under heavy wraps as the girl battled the tricky currents and icy tides. Good progress was made for several hours, but toward noon the trainer and the two doctors aboard the tu, saw that the girl was near exhaustion from cold. The end came in sight of the Kentish coast, about eight miles on, After reaching her hotel, Miss Gleitz said: "I was not a bit fatigued when taken from the water, but 1 suppose my pilot knew what he was doing. I was terribly sleepy, and I felt that I could have gone to sleep there in the waves and thoroughly enjoyed it, I suppgse I would have dropped right off had I been left any longer." The deep interest which Miss Gletiz's attempt stirred up among the public was evidenced by the great crowd on the beach to cheer and con- sdle her.
