John Fitzpat- rick of Hamilton broke away on the Sutside to set a hot pace.

It was, indeed, an occasion for re- joicing on the part of the local cash customers. With a scant two-game nding close on the heels of the O'Hara hirelings, the outlook for a double victory was anything but bright. But the Leafs threw off the batting slump that has ed them consistently of late, and beat a merry tattoo of hits off the offerings of Roy Buckalew in the ng t, hoisted a couple of "Doc" Dunagan's slants for extra bases in one inning of the second ame to score enough runs to win. he result evened the series at two games each, and enabled the Leafs to gain some lost ground in the race for the bunting, : Johnny Prudhomme and Don Han- kins toiled on the mound for the Leafs, and the Royals found them for- midable indeed. Of the eight hits collected off Prudhomme, only two were gathered in one inning, With an early lead to work on, the Toron- to twirler was never in much danger of losing, and, though the Holly hands kept trying all the way and managed to get men on bases, the timely wal- lop was rarely pried loose from Prud- homme's pitching. w Pounded Buckalew went the full distance for the visitors, He looked like money from home to the Leafs and parti- cularly to Dale Alexander, who made five hits, including a double, in as many trips to the plate, Paul Eas- terling was also prominent, last two occasions he faced the Montreal heaver he. had to be satis- fied with triples, although in any other ball park on the circuit they would have been four-ply smashes. Cotgaalso collected a triple, The only extr®-base hits the Royals got were Schreiber's triple and Gaudette's dou- ble, both coming in the fifth to ac- count for the first two Montreal runs. .» Loyal and Courageous "Lena" Styles deserves much cre- dit for his plucky effort in catchin both games yesterday, He is suf- fering with tonsilitis, and was under t.. doctor's care all Tuesday night. He had a high temperature and was ill before yesterday's games, but he insisted on going in, knowing that Manager O'Hara had no one else available other than Walmsley, the former Copper Cliff amateur, Eddie Phillips may be able to return to the line-up at the end of the week. An X-ray of his wrist injury revealed that there was no fracture of the bone, and the wrist swelling is going down. ' ¥ Old Bird Race Won by J.

Howarth played in the G.M.C, net replacing Tom Smith, and made many sensational saves. Ee Sathrang was the best of the visit- ing forwards, being only held in check by the good defensive work of Lloyd and Hodgson.

NEW MARTIN HOOT GIBSON | REGENT "Why Sailor Go Wrong" Comedy and Learnto Swim By Aileen Riggin (Olympic Diving Champion in 1080) Lesson Eleven MORE ABOUT BREAST STROKE Breathing in the breast stroke is done in this manner: As the arms drive down the tendency will be for the head to come out of the water, Inhale through the mouth deeply, and immerse the head on the back stroke of the arms, While the head is under water, the air should be exhaled through the mos- trils, as in the erawl, An important feature of the breast stroke is the glide, which follows each drive forward. This can be used to advantage when the swimmer has any long distance to cover, as it serves as a rest period. The trunk of the body is at all times level. Moreover, the begin- ner should be careful to avoid roll- ing. b am not in favor of the breast stroke, as it can meyer offer the chances for distance or speed swim- ming that the crawl does.' Then, too, there is always danger that its peculiar movements will prove a detriment to you unless you are ac- complished at the crawl. I have only introduced the lessons on this condemned stroke in deference to the hundreds who are still inter- ested in it. (Copyright, 1928, Big News Fea- tures, Ine.) TOMORROW, Resume of Swim- ming, BEARS TAKE TWO Buffalo, Aug. 1.--Fighting up- hill battles in both games, the Buf- falo Bisons twice nosed out the Rochester Red Wings here today, by scores of 6 to 5 and 5 to 4. The double victory made it four straight for the logals over the visitors. A remarkable hitting streak by Al Moore featured, the Bison out- fielder registering two homers and two singles in the second in six Kingston Bows to Belleville Central League Leaders Too Much for Jos Delys Ponies and Gibson Registers Tenth Victory of Season Belleville, Ont, Aug. 1.--Play- ing the same air tight game that has sustained their position at the top of the Central League and hit- ting with ferocity, the Belleville Nationals = snowed - the - Kingston team under an avalanche of runs here this afternoon and won a scheduled C.0.B.L. game by the one-sided score of 17-3. It was a listless and uninteresting erhibi- ton from the start, the locals piled up an insurmountable lead, and it was just a cise of adding to the score, The Nationals lashed the of- fetings of the two Kingston pitch- ers, Jamieson and Cherry, fore and aft, and their ability to hit for ex- tra bases was a marked feature of the Donnybrook. Led by the youngster, "Bob" Scott, who poun- ded out a homre. run, the Belle- ville sluggers started an early bar- rage, while they played a faultless game in the field, The visitors started Jamieson on the mound, but he lasted three in- nings, and in the fourth, after Scott's home run and a triple oy "Peeney" Mills, which cleared the bases, the youngster willingly step- ped from the mound, and Delmar Cherry essayed the task of taming the Nationals. He fared a trirle better, although the home team collected four hits in the eighth to count five more runs. "Hoot Gibson was sent to tne hillock for the winners, and while he was not extended he pitched fair ball, allowing but eight hits and fanning five. His support was brilliant, Ross, Hagerman aud Scott making feature catches. Hewitt Smith and "Brick Stone accepted very difficult chances and got under high flies on the rum. "Wicky" Ross had a field day at bat collecting no less than four hits, while Hagerman and Alex Weir had three singles each, Cher- ry and Ada were the best with tne willow for Kingston, each getting 8 brace. . The Kingston team threatened in the eighth, populating the bases with no one out, Gibson forged the next three batters to fly, vo the outfield and they were kept off the score sheet in tihs frame.

South ries trade with Germany is expanding there is every pros- spect of a great further development. Four Innings When Chevs Register All Their Runs-- Malleables Behind 17-1 at End of Fourth But Rally in Closing Stages After one thousand fans had cheered and rooted till they had developed sore throats, Chevrolet again proved themselves superior to Ontario Malleable in a schedul- ed Ladies' Softball game played at the Collegiate grounds last night when they nosed out Abbie Fos- ter's clan by a 17 to 10 score in an exciting game. Marion Kay developed another streak of inconsistency last night and after allowing 17 runs in the first four innings, came ' back to shut the ex-Pirates out in every frame from there to the end of the game. Had she shown the same form in the opening stanzas, there is no telling what the final result would have been, Kay Wild With the Malleable hurler hoist- ing the odd one over the screen and dribbling another along the ground in the opening frame, Chevs. required no over-exertion to score the five runs which came their way. Doris Kennedy and Ma- bel Elliott reached out for hits, but all the rest got to first on walks, The same thing happened in the second when Marion Kay walked four with two of these scoring on wild pitches at the plate, In the third, Chevs again hadn't much trouble in scoring, adding seven. to their larder before the third out was made. Three more followed in the fourth and then Marion Kay got down to business. In the fifth, she made a trio of batters pop out in a row and in the sixth only three batters faced her. The seventh was featured with some snappy fielding on the part of OM.1.'s infield, while the eighth, Chevs' last, saw four bat- ters.come to the plate and a dou- ble play to stop a possible rally, Malleables counted one in the second when Marion Kay singled into right, went to. second on a passed ball, advanced to third on Doris Kilburn's sacrifice fly into McLean's single. Two more followed in the fifth centre field, and scored on Helen when three singles in a row accom- pani by an error brought the fans hack to life, and started some cheering from those who were out to see something happen. The cheering was in earnest in the fol. lowing frame when Malleables star- ted a hitting bee and slugged the ball all over the lot. This was culminated with Marion Kay con- necting for a home run with three on bases. 0. M. I. came back for one more in the eighth and another in the ninth to raise the score up to 10 to 17, but although they tried vaj- antly they were unable to come within striking distance of the pace setters. If the first four in. nings of the game were as excit- ing as the last five, it would have been some argument. As it was, it was acclaimed a game well worth watching and many still hold hopes of seeing Malleables making it in- teresting for Chevs. for the league leadership before the season closes.
