Y. M. C. team into camp by a one run mar- gin in a close scoring game and the St. Gregory's team had a sim- ilar edge over the Moffatt Motors aggregation, The two games ran- ed with the best seen in the series this season, with snappy fielding and good pitching the features. The result of these two games throws the league standing open once again, and every game to be played will count .in deciding which teams will participate in the playoffs. Textiles, 5; A. Y. M. C. 4 In the curtain-raiser game, the Textilse, with two runs in the sixth, went ahead of the A.Y.M.C. by two rums, and guarded that lead in the final seventh, holding the losers scoreless in the closing frame. Both teams played great ball, the two pitchers, Wills for the Textiles and Keith for the A. Y.M.C., being in rare form. Only four hits were garnered off Wills slants in the seven innings played, while Keith, with his opponents at allowed seven safeties, Two of these, however, were home runs, and these .count- ed heavily in the scoring. Young, the Textiles first man up in the fourth, hit for the circuit, and Wills, the pitcher, won hig own game in the sixth when, with his team one run behind, he slammed a homer with Young on base to send. the Textiles into the lead. Young was the only batter to se- cure more than one hit, his aver- age standing at two runs and two hits in three times at bat. The Textiles played wonderful ball in the field, and gave their pitcher great support.

Regent Catholics to win a hectic game by a score of 15 to 14. Up to that in- ning, it looked as if Moffatts would add another to their string of vic- tories, as they had taken a com- manding lead in the first two frames, and held it until the bar- rage of base blows from the St. Gregory's bats blasted their hopes in the final inning, Both teams were hitting well, but the winners did most of their scoring in two frames, the fifth, when they sent six runners clattering across the platter, and in the fatal final seventh, Luke's home run in the fifth was a material factor in the winners' big count in that inning. Moffatts were leading by 14 to 11 when the St. Gregory's boys came to bat in the last inning, Im- mediately the fireworks started, and four successive hits, followed by a long fly to centre to Luke, gave them sufficient runs to win the game with only one out, The score by innings: St. Gregory's 3 0 0 2 6 0 4--15 Moffatts ....4 2 0 4 4 0 0--14 Phillips Wins - Welter Title From Bragan Toronto, July 30.--~After being kicked around for some months with- out an owner, although there were several who claimed to be rightful possessors of it, the Canadian welter- weight crown last night secured a resting place, and if Jackie Phillips' showing in the ten-round main bout at the Coliseum can be taken as an indication of his ability in the ring, and there is no reason why it shouldn't, then it will be some time before the diadem is plucked from the brow of the pride of the Phillips fam- ily. In defeating Red Bragan, who had three decisions to his credit over George Fifield, a former holder of the title, Phillips clearly demonstrat. ed that he is the classiest welter- weight that has been developed in Canada for a long time, and in all probability it will be some time be- fore he is deprived of the title and crown in the ring. Phillips showed everything that a champion should have. He packs a hard punch in each hand, with the right doing the more substantial da- mage, although the left is always dan- gerous, and last night picked up many points for its owners. He showed clever footwork, an effective defence that occasionally had to give way be- fore Bragan's charging attacks but soon was functioning again, and a- bove all he had a systematic plan of campaigning that he followed practi- cally throughout the ten rounds. He was too smart for Bragan, and in addition to out-boxing the redhead he out-punched. Phillips' punches were either straight with the body well be- hind them or short, sharp chops that were damaging. He punished Bragan severely at times, scoring two knock- downs, although the one in the sec- ond round was not productive of a count, and at the end of the bout Bragan had two badly battered op- tics, the right being in particularly] bad shape, while Phillips did not have any marks to show. The rest of the card was not quiie up to the standard of Shamrock shows this season. In the four-round curtain raiser, Ernie Taylor of this city obtained the decision over Bert Artt of Newark, but the decision was not unanimous with the officials and fans, the latter showing an appre- ciation of Artt's work, especially in the last two rounds, Harry Sacks, the ex-Canadian ama- teur middleweight champion, made his pro debut and knocked out Frank Schwartz of Buffalo, in the first round. Bobby Clary, of Buffalo, was a lit- tle too smart for Earl Duquette, of Boston, The latter landed low in the first round, although not as low as Clary indicated, and the latter was given a short rest. From then on there was quite a lot of feeling, but Clary took the first four rounds and Duquette did little better than get an even break in the last two. Sam Hackett made it 13 straight since he turned professional by decis- ively outpointing Tony Johnstone, of Syracuse, in the six-round semi-fianl, but Hackett was not as impressive as he has been in the past. This was partially due to the fact that John- stone's most apparent reason for be- ing in the ring was an ability to ab- sorb punishment without being mat- erially damaged. South Africans Collapse at Bat Manchester, Eng., July 30. Only the fickle weather can save South Africa from losing the fourth cricket test match and the rubber from England at Old Trafford. Over the week-end, after England on Saturday had stacked up 427 runs for seven wickets, on which score they declared yesterday morning, rain fell heavily. The South Afri- cans had to reply to this impressive total on a wicket drying out and made for such a bowler as A. P. Freeman, the Kent twist ball trun- dler. They made only 130 in their first innings and lost three of their second innings wickets for a mere 15 runs, South Africa, therefore, need 282 runs to save themselves from a single innings defeat. Success He wrote a sordid novel, full of dirt, and dull despair, And cornbeef hash, and dreary wives, And homes oppressed by care -- And all the little flappers, far Removed from pain and strife, Devoured the book, and all agreed, "How very. true to life!" Port Hope and Arabs Play Here Tonight Baseball fans have an opportunity this evening at Alexandra Park to see their intermediate team, the Aar- abs, in action against the Port Hope nine in a scheduled game, The Aar- abs are all set for a victory in to- night's tussle, and with Duke Dainty ready to go the route to turn back the Ports, the game should be worth seeing. The time of starting has been fixed for six o'clock, so as to ensure good' light for a complete nine innings game, and while this may be a little early for some of the fans, there should be a good turnout of supporters "to give some encourage- ment to the intermediates, SCHMELING AND SHARKEY MAY T IN SEPTEMBER New York, July 30.--In virtual defiance of the wishes of the New York State Athletic commission, William F. Carey, president ot Madison Square garden, announced definitely that a heavyweight match would be staged in September be- tween Max Schmeling, German heavyweight, and Jack Sharkey, ot Boston. Carey's announcement, in effect, hurls defiance at the commission, which warned the garden head last Tuesday that both he and his or- ganization would be suspended for three months if they persisted in negotiation for the services of Nch- meling. The fighter's license has been revoked here along with thoss of his United States managers, J: ¢ Jacobs and Bill McCarney, be- cause of Schmeling's refusal to go through with a contract to fight Phil Scott here for Humbert J. Fugazy. Canada Sends Strong Entry To U.S. Regatta Toronto, July 30.--Canada will send a powerful entry to the U.S. national regatta at Springfield, Mass., this week-end, most of them holders of dominion champlonsuips. Jack Guest, Canadian king of the single sculls, and Joe Wright, the dethroned monarch, will most iKe- ly renew their rivalry in the chal- lenge for the American singles ti- tle, which should be a battle be- tween them, as there are not any known scullers in the States cap- able of staying with the Toronto boys from Argonauts. Johnny Durnan, the Dons' Hen- ley sprint winner, and Elswooa Bole of Winnipeg, winner of tho senior sculls, while Bill Reed of Argonauts and possibly W. Whep- ton of Hamilton Leanders, are uu- ing for the lightweight sculling classes. Two_crews will enter the fours with coxswain, Argonauts sending the great lightweight four from Dons, which proved the sensation of Henley with the iron man act of four wins, will add a cox to their cremfor the event. Dons have nut aa shell with a coxswain's chair, but have been promised the loan of one at the course. St. Catharines Enters Eight R. Richards and A. McKay, the Winnipeg pair, who rowed so well at St. Catharines' great junior 8, are also going. The complete Canadian entry, which was definitely made yester- day, is composed of five singles scullers, a double, two fours and an eight, which means 26 competi- tors and possibly another if Whep- ton of Hamilton goes. The Canadians will not be with- out supporters as Wilf Knight, the coach of the Dons, Frank Ward, J. Bole, father of the Winipeg scull- er, Jack Guest, father of the Cana- dian champion, A. H. Lyons and Capt. Stevenson, both of St. Cath- arines, are also in the party which will 'be in charge of Alex Sinclair, coach of the Argonauts. - American - SOX BEAT ATHLETICS Philadelphia, July 29.--The Chicago White Sox cut the Athletics' lead over the Yankees to 9 1-2 games to- day by winning the final game of the series 8 to 6, The Sox broke the Philadelphia winning streak of four games by climbing aboard George Earnshaw, "A's" right hand ace, in the sixth in, ning, batting him from the box with a three-run rally, It was Earnshaw's fifth defeat, against 15 victories, STRIBLING LOSES ON A FOUL Tulsa, Okla., July 30.--Babe Hunt, Ponca City heavyweight, won from W. L. (Young) Stribl- ing of Macon, Ga., last night vn a foul in the sixth round of their bout here. Referee Dave Barry of Chicago gave the decision to Hunt when one of Stribling's powerful rights land- ed below the belt. The heavy weights fought furiously in the round and Stribling twice knocked Hunt down before the foul blow was landed. e------------ "Business before pleasure." "Where do you place golf?"

She sustained extensive head in- juries, and was dead when she was carried into the emergency ward of the Western Hospital. John Mason the driver of the cab was taken to Claremont Street Station, but was released. He claimed that the little girl darted out on to the street in front of his machine. An inquest will be con- ducted by Chief Coroner Dr. M. M. Crawford. Echoes of the Election At a meeting at Derby, J.H. Thom- as, who now occupies an important post in the new Government, was continually being heckled by a Com- munist, "You've sold us," the Com- munist kept yelling. "You've sold us." For a long time Mr. Thomas made no reply. "You've sold us!" repeated the Communist, and in an attempt to draw a reply he added. "If you haven't sold us explain why vou haven't" ° "Because I have not had a bid for ones you, my lad," replied Mr. Thomas, | sipootbly, apd 'the heckler subsided: Red Aces Win From King St. By 17 to 12 The Red Ace juveniles came through with a fine victory at the expense of the King Street United team in the juvenile series of the City Softball League, the score at the end of a free hitting game being 17-12 at the end of 5th frame, things | did not look any too good for the Red Aces, for at that time the King St. boys were ahead and going strong, The Aces, staged a strong rally in the last four frames, and sent enough runners home to win the game by a good margin. Three home runs, by Toppings, Neill and Whitely, coming in the seventh and eighth frames, were big factors in this belated bat- ting bee. The fielding was not up to the usual standard, the winners hav- ing four errors and the losers. five, The score by innings is a good indi- cation of the run of the game: Red Aces 601 012 43x--17 King St. v..000es veo 142 020 030--12 - International - ROCHESTER GO DOWN Rochester, July 29.--The Rochester pennant-chase lead was cut to six and one-half games today, as Buffalo trimmed the Red Wings 8 to 5, and Toronto defeated Montreal. : Leo Mangum pitched well for six innings but was swatted hard in the seventh and eighth to make room for "Lefty" Williams in a victory role. LEAFS ON RAMPAGE Montreat, July 29.--The Leafs, fresh from battling the Rochester Red Wings to an even break in a four game series, arrived here today to engage the Royals in a set, They caught the wobbly Royals' moments and mowed it down with a machine gun attack that for a time turned the first tilt of the series in- to an endurance test that rivalled all records ever made on land, sea, and in the air. The Leafs shelled three Montreal twirlers for 18 safe blows, 11 were for extra bases, and a total base count of 32. he contest really developed in- to a merry foot race between the Leafs' base runners and the Royals' outfielders. But the Royals hinterland perform- ers showed a remarkably persistency in running after all the balls the Leafs fired around the enclosure, The Leafs finally gave up through sheer exhaustion but the game ended in their favor 13 to 7. - The Big Six - Rogers Hornsby and Paul Waner clouting National league rivals, added a bit to their standings in the Big Six while the rest of the field either lost ground or remain- ed idle.

Hack Wilson's 28th home run of the season, with Heathcote on base in the eighth inning, was the blow that broke a 9 to 9 tie and gave the Cubs the victory, Hornsby and Heathcote had hit home runs pre- viously.

The Giants fell on Willie Sherdel from the start, clubbing him from the box in the fourth. Holland and Frankhouse fared little better, and Hallahan finished. Mell Ott hit his 29th homer of the seagon in the second inning, after Bill Terry had hit one out of the park.

Driving into the much-vaunted defence of the champions of West. ern Canada, the Montrealers had pounded out a two-goal léad by half-time and then, after stubburn. ly resistipg all efforts on the part of Weston to break into the scor- ing column, further smashed tue hopes of the prairie contenders with a series of sparkling attacks in the dying minutes of the contest that netted them an unbeatable 1vaq and made them overwhelming fa- vorites to take the Dominion ¥oot- ball association championship to the east for the first time- since 1925. : Unable, except for a short time near the close of the first halt to really strike the form that 'carried them over all opposition west of the great lakes, Weston gradually became disorganized in the face of the gruelling beating they were forced to accept and at the finish were a badly defeated team. Play Again Tomorrow The teams play the second game of the series here Wednesday "night and Weston can jump back to even terms with the Montrealers by win- ning. While total goals on the rounds up to the finals decides the winners, the first team to 'capture two games in the deciding' series will be champions.
