SOCCER NOTES For the third week in succession the Oshawa City team meets the Nationals, this time in a league game. The two games just played have been well contested and even the most rabid supporter of the Na- tionals will agree that the City team, although. the losers, had a big edge on the play, 'Third time lucky"--that is the City's motto-- and the team will be out to show these much vaunted Nationals that the results of the two cup ties were mistakes. The Nationals have had all the breaks so far, now it is the turn of the City. The boys are out to be the first team to lower the Nationals' colors and Thursausy is the day named for this deed. The following players are asked to report at 6 o'clock at Alexandra Park: King, Smith, Lappin, Con- senense seen veesd .*3 2 nors, Currie, Muir, Brodie, Sturch, Dunstall, Bailey, Lobban, Aird, Fairley, McGreish, and Cunliffe.

M. C. A. and pro- ceeded to the new playing grounas, The Motors City Stadium, on King Street West. The Parade wag headed by the Oshawa Citizens' Band and a large line of cars driven and occupied by prominent business' men of tne city, then came the players of a good many of the teams in neat array and some in automobiles. Arriving at the park the band proceeded to march from the gates at the south end to the playing di- amond at the north end, where at the finish of the musical number Mayor T. B. Mitchell addressed the large gathering with a short but op- timistic speech. After his honor, came Mr. D. M. Todd; an honorary member of the league who also ad- dressed the assembly with a short- er speech, the import of - which was his intentions of hitting the ball that his Honor served up to z|him plenty hard. R. W. Millichamp acting as catcher for these opening ceremon- ies was next to speak and he too spoke briefly. The first few that Mayor Mitch- ell let loose were wild but mr. Tod finally found one to his liking and the league was officially opened in their new park. ; Plenty of Room Mr. Fred Luke of the Motor City Stadium has yet a few boards to nail up on the bleachers, but that in no way takes away from the impressiveness of the large playing field that the intermediates have elected to play their games on, and when the minor completions are ready the Motor City Stadium will be an enclosed field that will have two softball diamonds, one in the North East corner and one in the South West corner, which will eas- ily accommodate two softball games at'the same time. The play- ing field has had a great deal of time spent on it and is now in A-sx shape, making an infield and out- field that offers the players little or no alibis, This is the case on both diamonds, so that there will be no dispute regarding the respec- {tive merits of the north and south diamond, Bleacher seats accommo- dating five thousand people are 1o be a feature of this park and seats for four of five thousand are now erected. Textiles Win The opening game was a fitting (no joke) one for the opening of the league and park. The Oriental Textiles coming from far behind to defeat the Fittings Ltd. in a game that was replete with long hits, sensational catches, and a close fin- ish. The Fittings went on a rampage six runs at the expense of Lazenby the starting pitcher for the T's. Turner replaced Lazenby in the first frame and retired the side. In the second spasm the Fittings add- ed three more to their early six. This was the last batting bee they were allowed. Turner settled down as did all his team mates and held the slugging Fits. to scattered hits that allowed them a run in the third and the sixth, while they, the Textiles, were slowly, but steadily coming from afar to even things up considerably. They were led up until the seventh by the Fit- tings; when they started to win the ball game by means of an error, a base on balls, and two clean hits that drove in the needed runs. In front they stayed, and at the end they had won an up-hill battle to win 13 to 11, The box score: Oriental Textiles AB RH Brady, c. f. Baird, 1. f. Young, 1 b. Elliott, 3 b. Creamer, c.

YANKEES WIN THIRD New York, Jene 4.--The Yank- ees made it three straight wins over the Chicago White Sox ,es- terday 1 to 0 by virtue of a bril- liant pitching performance by Ed Wells, young lefthander. Wells gave the Sox but two hits. The Yanks got to Lyons for only six hits, three of them doubles by Gene Robertson. Two of the hits came in succession in the opening inning for the only run. A'S STOP UHLE Philadelphia, June 4.--The Phil- adelphia Athletics breezed, in ahead of the Detroit Tigers in 13 innings yesterday 3-2; thereby bringing to an end George Uhle's winning streak of nine straight games.

A . last evening the application for the It is hard Concerning Cross Checks Now that we have another team disposed of, for the time being any way, we will take the time to in- troduce to you Reginald (Red) Spencer. Maybe you already know him? He was up at the park on Saturday and was a big factor in the low score netted by the Toron- tos. "Red" started to play lacrosse in senior company with the West- ern Senior team where he was a valuable man to that now defunct aggregation, Last year he was with the local seniors, the General Mo- tors' Lacrosse Club, and was one of the reasons that the O.A L.A. cham- pionship came to Oshawa, He is big and fast and the going can not come to rough for the improperly called "Red". "Red" may be short for Reginald, but it does not define the color of his hair as ac- curately as "Blondy'"' or "Whitey" would. This big boy is a defence flelder and is not only always checking a man, but is constantly buzzing around that old ball waiting for a locse ball, and he gets plenty. When he does get these wandering pills he is an expert at carrying it down the field to start plays for goals. Another thing to the advantage of Spencer is his condition as he is in the "pink" and Kendal or Wor- thy of the Brampton team will have to "dangle" to stop him next Sat- urday when the Oshawa Blues go to the home of the Excelsiors. It was with regret that many old- time lacrosse players and enthusiasts learned of the death of Con Jones in Vancouver yesterday. The deceased, an Australian by birth, moved to Vancouver in 1904, where he opened up a billiard room. Of a sporting nature he became actively connected with soccer and lacrosse, It was he who got Archie Adamson, Newsy Lalonde, Si Griffiths, Harry Pickers ing, Eddie Longfellow, Bones Allan and others to migrate to Vancouver, for it was his anibition to win the Minto cup, emblematic of the la- crosse championship of Canada. This he accomplished in 1911 when his team defeated New Westminster. When lacrosse became a dead issue he organized a professional football league and built a park in Vancou- ver.--Toronto Mail and Empire. INTERNATIONAL | ROCHESTER GETS A GIFT Montreal, Que., June 4.--Montreal Royals handed a . to 4 verdict to Rochester here yesterday afternoon and the Wings took a 2 to 1 lead on their first series here. Four errors, all of them com- ing in the first two innings, spoil- ed a fine h urling performance by Herbie Thormahlen, who outpitch- ed a pair of Red Wing hurlers. BIRDS DEFEAT TRAILING CATS Baltimore, June 4. -- Gordon Rhodes, late of the New York Yankees, hurled a good game for the Jersey City Black Cats here yesterday but lost by a score ov 6 to 2. Rhodes held the locals to six hits but Bill Clarkson was also in rare form for the Birds, holding the invaders to five hits and fan- ning an equal number. LEAFS PETER OUT Toronto, June 4.--Winning two games in thea fternoon is a hazard the Leafs have yet to overcome. For the second time in three days they shared the points with the Bisons when they broke even in yesterday's doubleheader at the waterfront vark. On several oth- er occasions this season they have endeavored to turn back their op- ponents twice on the same aay, Stars of Aquatic Sports Perform at Brale Lake Crack Welshman Have Close Win Hamilton, June 4--The touring Welsh soccer team ran into a lot of opposition in their second Canadian game at the civic stadium here last night when the 'Hamilton all-stars held them to a 1 to 0 score and came mighty close to reversing the verdict on the famous visitors. The Hamil- ton aggregation fought every minute of the way and showed such ability that 23 minutes of the last half had passed before the red shirted visitors could find the net with the orphan 'score of the game. RUTH OUT FOR WEEK New York, June 4--Babe Ruth took his cold to the haspital yesterday but was able to return home after a stay of several hours. He underwent an examination and received orders to rest, "According to our club physician," Ed Barrow, Yankees' business man- ager said: "Ruth has a heavy cold and his upper chest is pretty well congested.

Y.T.. June 4.--Most ivory hunters go to Africa and shoot elephant, but Jack Elliott seeks his prize in the valleys of the Yukon and the tusks and bones he finds there belong to animals that have been dead for thousands of years. Elliott went into the Yukon when- the first flush of the gold excitement had paled. He did not find gold, as hundreds of his pre- decessors had failed to do, but he did dig in the creek beds and he found another treasure there.

Frank Barnes, fling ing his first game in Toronto tog= gery, was quite a southpaw for five rounds in the game that was lost. Toronto Scottish Gain in Cup Play' Toronto, June 4--Toronto Scottish won a hard-earned victory over Maple Leafs by a 1-to-0 score in the Connaught cup district semi-final at Ulster stadium last night before a fair crowd of spectators. Maple Leafs put Scottish through their paces during the early stages of the game; in fact, the Conboyites never got settled during the first half, Noke and Halliwell being called upon to give of their best so pressing were the Leafs' forwards. Simpson accepted a pretty pass from J. Hendry to beat Pritchard for the only goal oi the game. (NATIONAL BRAVES BESTED ' Cincinnati, June 4.--Six hits off Cantwell, three of them doubles, and an error in the first inning which prduced six runs, gave the Reds a lead which they never re- linquished and Boston dropped its second straight game to Cincin- nati 12 to 3 here yesterday, GRIMES SCORES ANOTHER Pittsburg, June 4. -- Pittsburg Pirates, after losing two straight to Philadelphia, wrecked ven- geance on the Quakers yesterday by beating them 14 to 2. It was the ninth consecutive win for Burleigh Grimes, spitball ar- tist, who has not dropped a contest . this season. CARDS INCREASE LEAD St. Louis, June 4.--The Cardine als took a firmer grip on the Na- tional League lead yesterday by de feating the Brooklyn Robins ¥ to 8, in the twice delayed opener of their series. The Cards had a slight hitting margin in the ding-dong battle that was tied up four times, and not decided until the eighth ine ning. They collected 13 hits off Dudley and Ballov, while Sylves- ter, Johnson and Sherdel yielded an even dozen, x ' § _ HUBBELL STEADY Chicago, June 4,--The New York Giants made it three in a row over the Cubs yesterday, winning 8 to 1 behind the steady pitching of Carol Hubell. It was the fourth straight de- feat for Chicago and the Giants' eleventh victory in the last 12 = games played. Coupled with the defeat of the Phillies the victory put New. York into the first divi. sion. Pat Malone was driven from the mound in the sixth inning un- der a barrage of Giant base hits which netted three runs.
