We consider the reports published as a smireh on our records of which we have reason to be proud, We would he very grateful if your department would give this letter prominence in order that the public will be- come acquainted with the facts, Sincerely, John Cameron, 295 King St. W.

CRIPPLED PIRATES LOSE TO THE CARDINALS 7 TO 1 Pittsburg, May 29.-- The St. Louis Cardinals took the (first game of the series here today by hitting timely behind the effective twirling of Rhem. The score was 7 to 1, and it was the Buccaneers' fourth consecutive setback. The Pirates presented a weaken- ed line-up, Captain Pie Traynor, Grantham and Adams being out with sickness and injuries. Maranville's fielding at short was a brilliant part in the playing of the Cardinals. He handled eleven chances without a miss and figured in three double plays. TORONTO LADIES CITY CHAMPIONS The winners of the Toronto city ladies' golf championship since the event was inaugurated in 1923 are: 1923--Mrs. F. J.

Sa 'SPORT SNAPSHO1S Scout Notes | Chevrolet girls softball team, who Qe the Rochester All-Stars such an interesting aggument on the last Holiday will journey to Belle- ville this soning Saturday to engage the Belleville Beavers in an exhi- bition contest at six o'clock standard time. The team has also arranged to visit Rochester on the American National Holiday, July 4th, in an ef- fort to turn the tables on the All Stars right in their own home town. The Oshawa Ladies' Softball League will officially open their sea- son at the Collegiate grounds on Friday night of this week, a double bill being on the program. Buicks will clash with Whitby, and On- tario Malleable wit evrolets. The games are only exhibition affairs, the schedule not having been drawn up to date, but the fair sex are sure to give scintillating exhibitions for the entertainment of the fans, BE Ld Oshawa and the surrounding districts are being submetged in a deluge of softball encounters. Undoubtedly the game is in for the greatest scason of its rather brief career, The officials of the league are asked to co-operate with the sports department in its attempt to cope with the situation, If the scores are left in the Times office after the games they will be published in the next edition, The junior lacrosse team, O.AL.A. entry from General Motors, held a strenuous workout at Alexandra Park last night under the watchful eye of Coach George Constable. Only two or three seniors managed to get out but the players all caverted around the field in energetic fashion, The executive behind the juniors are very optimistic regarding their chances in the race for the gonfalon and judging by the form shown last night they have every reason to feel that way. Both Schepley and "Chuck" Davidson, wha made such an auspicious senior debut are eligible to play junior, and there is no clause in the rules that prevents them from mixing their talent between the seniors and the juniors, One thing that should make the juniors popular is the fact that several local boys are sure of a place on the team. The Luke brothers--Lionel and Howard, although ncither has cver participated in organized lacrosse--are considered promising material, and impress the fans more at every practice. Daniels, Boven, "Buster" Whitten, who played for the intermediates last year and is still eligible for junior, and Cardinal, who guards the nets, are all local products, Then they have "Red" Cowley, two years ago with Walkerton juniors; Rickson and Lyons, from Deseronto juniors; Fox from Wallaceburg, Kidd from Mount Dennis, and several others, all of whom will receive plenty of opportunity to display their wares. Harry Lott, of hockey fame, is managing the team. Harry starred with Oshawa intermediates on local ice and last year was with Detroit Olympics and finally with Stratford Nationals, champions of the Cana- dian Professional League. The team will most likely be grouped with the Toronto and suburban teams, Maitlands, Weston and several others, althqugh the chedule has not yet been drawn up, the juniors generally holding off until the first two weeks of June. The seniors were also given cause for joy by the appearance of "Pete" Walsh and "Norm" Irwin, both of last years intermediates, and "Bill" Luke, who played with the last junior team Oshawa had about four years ago. The juniors and seniors will stage a practice game on Thursday night, 1) The Kingston Whig-Standard makes the following comment re a lay~that occurred in the game against Oshawa in the Limestone City pa Saturday: "There was one peculiar play pulled on Saturday, which had some of the fans guessing, and which may be the grounds for a protest. Buck was on third and Ada at bat with two strikes, and two out, On the next pitch Buck started to steal home, and the catcher stepped to the plate, took the pitch and tagged Buck, Umpire Nichol- son ruled that he had called a third strike on Ada, thereby retiring the side, and the run did not count. Rule 56 of the official baseball rules says, 'In event a base runner is trying to score from third base on a piptched ball or the 'squeeze' play, a 'balk' and also an 'interference, shall be called if the catcher runs out in front of the plate to catch the ball; and the runner shall be allowed to score and the batsman be en- titled to first base, In such event the same penalties must he imposed in case the catcher pushes the batsman out of the way, or tips his bat.' It is one of the very few plays in which a double-penalty is provided, and to all the fans who saw it on Saturday, it looked like a wrong decision on the part of the umpire." As a matter of fact, Elliott, Oshawa's catcher, made no interference whatever, remaining behind the batter's box until he received the ball Ada attempted to bunt, missing by the proverbial mile, making the third strike and the final out of the inning. The ball was a foot or so ahead of the runner and Elliott tagged Buck as he slid in. But the inning was over as soon as Ada missed the strike and Buck's effort would not count whether he was safe or not. Certainly if Elliott had interfered with the batsman there would he grounds for argument bu Umpire Nicholson, behinds the plate, says there was no interference and basc-umpire Dell backs him up in the assertion. Even the King- ston supporters in the vicinity agreed with the arbiter, New Martin Theatre Starting Thursday MONTE BLUE '~ T5103 om Lr ™ COMEDY that everyone will enjoy and laugh at 2d Episede-"The Haunted Island" Regular Prices -- Don't Miss This Show With the summer drawing near, and the weather becoming notice- ably warmer every week, most Scout Troops will by now have con- cluded their program of winter and indoor events and should be pre- paring to carty out most of their activities, for the next few months at any rate, in the open air. Hikes and open-air meetings i will of course : take their usual important place, but these are not enough, since the value of the Scout training as the A Chief Scout has repeatedly urged, consists largely of the knowledge and good qualities which may be acquired in camp. Nor is it suf- ficlent for a Troop to hold one summer camp only, A "Scout" troop aime at being in camp as often as possible and makes a point of having a few of its mem- hers at least, in camp every week- end. A week-end camp 1s best held from Friday evening to Sunday evening or Monday morning, and excepting the case of a Special troop week-end camp which would be run with the same rigid adher- ence to time and rules as prevails at a summer camp, every boy comes and goes as he can, provides his own ground sheet, hedding, food and cooking utensils, and gets to the camp site by any means he finds most convenient, This, of course refers to Scouts of at least 2nd class standing who Rave had previous camp experience and are otherwise qualified. No boy should camp for the first time without his Scout Master's permission, and inexperienced campers should he accompanied by a Patrol Leader till the tenderfoot stage in camp has heen passed. A "tenderfoot' in camp is not necessarily a Scout who has not yet passed his second class tests, He is the person whn trips over the guy ropes, pitches his tent under a tree, or on a slope, lights his fire to the windward side of his tent, and makes those little blunders which all campers make at first, Sometimes, often we hope, the Scout Master is in camp and takes charge of the activities, but usually the week-end camp is the Patrol Leader's opportunity, It is his job to train the newcomers to his Pa- trol, fe them how to light their fire, how to pitch a tent, and cook their food. It {is there that the Patrol Leader is able to develop both in himself and his patrol, the resourcefulness and good health that comes with going back to nature. The value of week-end camps, particularly Patrol camps, cannot be too highly rated. There are two things necessary for this kind of camping; tents, and an easily accessible camp site. A word about the first:--Tents for a Scout camp'are usually not of' the bell variety. These give the camp a military appearance, and are not encouraged by Headquart- ers. All tents and Scout equipment can be best obtained from Domin- fon H.Q., 172 Wellington St., Ot- tawa. With regard to the question of a camp site for week-end eamps, the suggestion is made to Oshawa Troops, that each Troop should have a common Scout camping ground where all Scouts and Cubs could obtain camping facilities free, and at any time they wished. Within easy distance of Oshawa there are numerous spots which would be ideal for the purpose, and it should not be difficult to obtain a lease on one, each group bearing a share in this and any subsequent expense which might crop up. We would thus have a place where Scouts could go any time without fear of trespassing and where Troops, both local and visiting, could meet and enjoy the happy fellowship of the open air. As the plan developed we might rup a standing camp through the summer, with a tent always ready for use, and possibly a camp chief to supervise. Naturally these arrangements are made by a local n, where one exists, but in Oshawa at the present time these matters could very well be discussed at a meeting of Scouters from the var- fous Troops. The suggestion is made here in order that sScout Masters may talk the matter over with their Troops and Courts of Honour, beforehand. But first of all, in order to as- Sure some support for a general site, lets have some Oshawa Scouts camping this month!

Next week will see the return game in all probability, The 6th Wolf Cubs were kept inside by the rain and in place of a hike last Saturday and indoor sports meet was held at Head- quarters, A reorganization of the 6th Scout Troop resulted in the forma- tion of Four Patrols and every- thing now points toward a splendid season, The Salvation Army Troop will hold their regular meeting on Thursday at Headquarters at the usual hour, First meeting will Saturday afternoon All Scout = Masters Leaders will meet at Simcoe Street Sunday School and proceed to the Headquarters grounds bringing with them steak and potatoes for cooking over open fire, Every Senior Officer in Oshawa and district should be present at this meeting since work of import- ance will be taken up.
