'Suffer de 2-1 'Goalie Prevents Nationals 'From Scoring in First Half, When They Had . Most of the Play -- Red 7 All hopes that the Oshawa Na- 'tionals had of repeating the show- 'Ing made last' season in the Con- 'naught Cup competition, were shat- fered last night at the Motor City 'Stadium before a good crowd of " mbout eight hundred people, when 'the Ulster team of Toronto, de- Seated the Nats, by a score of 2 to The game was one of the finest exhibition of soccer ever given in hawa and was certainly the Na- tionals' best home effort of the sea- 'son, The Nats. were weakened a (great deal by the absence of two of 'their strong \efence men, Connors, the back, who has signed up with the CN.R. and Brodie, the sturdy "gcentre-half, who is in the United States' at the present time. David- gon, taking Connors' place, played pecially in the first half. Harry Boyd turned in one his character- "istic sterling games. Hurst work- 'ed hard and played a clever game "while Myles Coll was one of the 'best men on the field. He workea "hard and pulled off several smart plays. Sathrang was watched well hroughout the entire game while sser, the left winger, made sev- 1 nice plays when given a chance t he was starved practically #l of the game, 'Oshawa' s defensive play was very bod until they weakened at the gst and at times they showed part work in front of the oppon- net but their mid-field play as woefully weak. In the first f of the game, the Nats. had a light edge on the play and they jere far more dangerous but Kirk, he Ulster goalie, played a senma~ nal game and it was only his Bctacular work which prevented @ Nats, from having at least a fio-goal lead at half tinte. Eadfe, ton, Galloway and Hagan show- | up well for the visitors. Hagan, the former National: re) scored ors in the game. The Nats. kened badly in the second half. Nats. had plenty of scoring ances and with any kind of a feak at all, would have won the lame but. Kirk was practically un- iatable. win, *" Although they did not the Nationals made a very favoy- able showing. The Nats. are now eliminated from the Connaught Cup competition but they intend to make a real effort to win the Ons tario Cup. The Game Ulster began to press right at the start and the Nats. were given a busy session, They broke away and got a corner kick but foozled it. The Red Handers came back and got a corner but Coll cleared. Muir and Rosser combined nicely and Muir scraped the bar with a hot shot, Sathrang ggt away and Kirk managed to save a rattling shot. The teams took turns at tak- ing the aggressive. Ulster got a corner which they didn't deserve put they failed to make any use of it, Sathrang gave Sturch a fine pass but Sturch missed the net. Play surged up and down the field and both goalies got plenty of work, Sturch and Rosser combined for a nice try. Sathrang let drive, with # wicked shot from forty yards out and Kirk barely managed to save. Rosser got away but was going too fast and his shot was weak. Kirk made a wonderful save of Sath- rang's sizzling drive, Half time saw the two teams still even, with no score, but the Nats, had had the better of the play. Second Half Nats. started out with a deter- mined attack. After three min- utes of exchanges, Hogan scored a nice goal with a high, far corner shot. Ulster had quite an edge at this stage and Smith was call- ed on to make several hard saves, Oshawa were deprived of a corner when Sathrang was blamed for put- ting a ball out that he didn't touch. Smith made two smart saves in quick succession. Graham scored the second goal for Ulster with a low hard shot that gave Smith no chance, Oshawa got their first and only goal when Coll took a free kick and passed to Sathrang, who scored with a good shot just in- side the post. Nats. kept trying but they did not seem to get the bredks, They kept plugging away and twice Kirk had to save. Sturch was moved 'to insde felt and the change improved the team a great deal. Play slowed down as the time drew to a close. The whistle blew to end the ghme just one sec- ond before Ulster scored another goal. Oshawa Nats.

Armstrong, Orangeville Orangeville, June 6---~Canada's na- tional game, lacrosse, lost one of its best supporters yesterday in the death of James Armstrong, here. For several montlis he had suffered from bronchial trouble and his sudden de- niise yesterday morning was due te a heart attack. He was born in Cale- don Township, Peel County, 61 years ago, being a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Michael Armstrong, pion- cer settlers of this district, Lacrosse was his hobby, though he never played the game, and during the many years he had charge of the famous Dufferins, every player of note and officials had enjoyed the hospitality and friendship of the ge- nial "Jimmie." Many years ago when the beautiful Idwyld Park was to be used for other than lacrosse, Mr. Armstrong purchased the property and made it onc of the best fields on which the game was ever played. He was known wherever the game was played and his teams have won every championship with the excep- tion of the Mann Cup. Butchers and Packers Play Tie © Softball Game The Oshawa Butchers and the Packing House Travellers held a soft ball 'game last night at Alexandra Park and the game ended with the score tied at 16 all, Atkinson and Robertson were the battery for the Butchers while Peacock and Parker acted for the Packers, The Travel- lers' had to use four pitchers as' the Butcher continued their killing ways. S. Peacock took Writer's Cramps and had to be removed on account of a sore arm. Harrison, Tresise and Marks were the substitute pitchers. Babe Barwell starred for the But- chers and Webster was the best for the opposition. Art Holdsworth was a big gun with the willow. Harry Sud- dard relieved 'Barewell at first base. S.

VE TY Toronto Loses Again To Royals| Toronto, June 6.-- Eddie Holly's Montreal Royals took another "ride" at the Stadium yesterday, winning their second straight vi-- tory here by a 6 to 1 count, It was a listless ball game from a Toronto standpoint, the Leafs making little or no impression against the pitching of . Elam Vangilder, while the Royals fat- tened their batting averages at the expense of Frank Barmes, Toron- to's lone and lofty lefthander. The Royals are certainly provid- ing plenty of woe for Manager O'Neill and the other officials of the Toronto Baseball Club,' The Leafs are suffering their worst slump of the season, and as is usual under such circumstances cannot do anything right. They got eight scattered hits off Vangilder, and it required a three-base wallop by "Art. Ruble, = with Richardson on first base, to give the O'Neill- men their line tally, The Royals secured enough runs in the first two innings.to counterbalance any- hting that the Leafs could do against the big Pennsylvania Dutchman. Barnes Hit Hard Frank Barnes was hit hard and often by the visitors. In only one inning, the fifth did they fail to slice Lis offerings for a safety, They reaped a total of 16 solid smashes, good for 23 bases, and they ran the local outfielders rag- ged retrieving their clouts. Barnes pitched the entire game. Had the Leafs not been so helpless at the plate it might have been a fairly close and interesting ball game. Koloff Wins From Maloney Toronto, June 6.--Dan Koloff, will wrestle Gus Sonnenberg, here next Friday evening, which doubtful honor M won by taking three straight falls from the Giant Irishman, Jim Mal- oney, at the Arena Gardens last night. The bout was won in the usual Koloff tashion of body slamming his opponent into. submission, at which art the Bulgarian strong man is a pastmaster. Maloney, at the com- a combing that he will long remem» ber, and looked to be well 'out in front. His terriffic strength, coupled with the reach of two ordinary men,' made hint an unusually tough man) to beat, and if he could learn to fol- low up his advantages before his op- ponent has a chance to, get his bear- ings again, he might beat the most! of the mat men who show ere. But he doesn't do it and as a conse- quence Mr. Koloff opposes Sonnen- berg: next week.

From the Allen- Thompson mat tangle that opened the bill of fare, to Kid Barnes' whirlwind knockout of Bert Ripley in the last round of the last bout, the fans were kept constantly on their toes. With the exception of the unsatisfactory technical K.O., which 'ended the Walker-Amato clash, every bout provided speedy action, and a clear cut decision, The standout of hte evening, of course, was the convineing knock- out which brought the main bout to ap abrupt ending. Ripley and Barpes were boxing an extra round at the order of the judges, who declined to give a decision eithe" way on the scheduled threc rounds.. Ripley, short on condi- tion, weakened, and left himself open for Barnes' deadly right. A flurry of heavy blows-to the head paved the way, an a terrific right flush to the point of the jaw set- tled the issue beyond any doubt. Ripley was out for two minutes. Ripley scored repeatedly in the first round with a stabbing left to the head." He absorbed two stiff punches in the first minute, but covered nicely for the remainder of the round. Barnes tried a swinging right with little effect, and Ripley 'had a clear lead on points at the bell. The second stanza was called a draw. Both boys landed three or four solid blows. Ripley's lack of condition began to tell, and a couple of heavy body punches slowed him up. In the third round Barnes came ahead fast. He had his taller op- ponent down once, but the Oshawa boy was up before the count start- ed. Barnes had a clear margin on the round, but not enough to overcome Ripley's early lead and an extra round was ordered. No dolibts existed in anyone's mind whlen one minute of the round was up. They came out of the coraers, sparred, amd clinched. Barnes connected solidly to the body, then once again to the jaw, and Ripley was down, He came up immediately, only to run wide open into another right to the face. He wavered, that powerful right shot in once more, and the bout was .over. Speedy Wrestling The flashing speed of the open- ing mat struggle between the, two Toronto boys, Jimmy Allen and Frank Thompson, was a revelation to the Oshawa pewholders, Allen and Thompson, an exceptionally well-matched pair of boys, tore in- to each other with yim and. vigor, and the tempo of the match was at times almost bewildering. Body slams and flying mares succeeded each other rapidly during the op- ening minutes, as first one slim body, and then 'the other went flying through the air to crash o® the mat. The youngsters displayed more than a little versatility in their holds, shifting rapidly in their tactics to maintain constant action. Allen, who holds the provincia! amateur championship = at 145 pounds, took the first fall in 4.60 with a body slam. .After the rest, Thompson attacked aggressively, Allen had him in a bad way with a perfet half<nelson, but Thompson } broke it with a toehold, 'and 'went |! on to sceure 'the sepond fall when the sam he sent Allen flying over his Head. and fell on him to pin his should- ers to the mat. Allen secured the deciding fall in 1.50, He put Thompson down with a cross-buttock, and nailed him with a stranglehold. Decision To Langley George Langley and Rainy Lab- elle earned one fall each within the fifteen minute time limit in the second match, and referee Benny Sheridan gave Langley the decision oh his superior aggressiveness, and 'on the fact that he was on top during the majority of the final three-minute . period. The two Youngsters, neither of them over 17, were short on science, but dis- played all kinds of willingness and speed, and made the contest an excitizg one, Labelle took the first fall when Langloy failed in an attempt at a body slam, and' left himself open. It came in'five and a half minutes. Two minutes after they resumed, Langley took a fall te even it up. Might more minutes of wrestling failed to produce the deciding fall, and the decision was awarded to JiLangley.. Sonnenb The crowd a perience of the famous = Sonner« son' embroglic. Labelle. 'a shom chunky chap, hurled his weight through the dir at Lawson's mid- 'viff half-a-dozen times, but, it must be, confessed, without: any partic. protested the umpire's decision on the play. A ularly devastating results, '-Law- uff g its first ex- bergian tackle in the Labelle-Law- | "Mit and Mat" Show Produces Some Excellent Bouts son was too quick for him, and avoided the full impact every time, This was one of the briskest set- tos of the evening, Tho gladiators sailed into each with abandon, and on several occasions the referee had to step lively to avoid the fly- ing arms and legs which filleq the atmosphere. Larry Labelle secur- ed the opening fall in 2.20, forcing Lawson's shoulders to the mat with a perfect arm-lock, executed on Lawson's portside wing. Immediately after the two-min- ute rest, Labelle chased Lawson into every corner of the ring in the attempt to put over a flying tackle, but missed connections every time. Finally he secured a punishing toe- hold, but Lawson broke it with a strangle. Labelle applied the splits, and Lawson again broke it before his shoulders could be pin- ned. Finally Lawson evened up the match with a combination half- nelson and crotch hold which stood Labelle on his neck, with his ghoulders on the mat and his legs waving in the air. i Labelle finished the affair oft in short order. Four successive body slams put Lawson in a bad way, and a double armlock fin- ished it off in 55 seconds. Oshawa Boy Wins The final wrestling match of the card brought togetner Cliff Lain- son, wrestling instructor of the Oshawa A.C., and John Taylor of Toronto. Taylor put up a clever exhibition, but Langston was a 1lit- tle too strong for him, He pun- ished Taylor severely in the initial moments of the match with an ap- plication of the splits, immediately followed by a toehold. He gained the first fall in 5.15 with a com- bination strangle and arm hold. Taylor came back with a rush, but could not get an effective hold on the local boy. Finally he man- aged to apply a full nelson, and took the second fall in 1.10. Langston was much the better after the second rest and took the third and deciding fall in 3.55. Towel Thrown In The one unsatisfactory bout of the evening was the Amato-Walker match. Amato was clearly the bet- ter for the round and a half that the bout lasted, but Walker seem- ed rugged enough to have weath- ered the storm and finished it out, Walked went down for an instant in the first round, but was up again before the count. Amate landed solidly to the head in 'the second round, and Walker 'again went to his knee for a moment. The third time he went d6wn his second tossed a towel in as the referee started to count. Walker did not seem unduly dis- tressed, and was apparently taking a count to gain a rest when the towel was thrown in, However, there was no alternative but to award Amato the bout then: and there on a techaical knockout, Decision to Leslie 3 Tommy Leslie, of West Toronto A.C. took the first and third round of his three-round bout with Jack Goodall of Oshawa, and fought to a draw in the second round to earn the judge's decision. The 'paiYr were well matched, and fought a fast, clever bout. Goodall, dis- played a nice straight left, but its effect was largely nullified by L sli e's cleverness in slipping, or rolling with, the punch. The win- ner used an effective one-two punch to pile up a Jead on points, but Goodall was never far behind, and the fight was interesting right up to the last gong. Bag Punching Exhibition Al Middleton, of Toronto, claim- ant of the world's bag-punching championship, 'did some tricks with the punching bag, during the intermission that made the watch- ers' eyes pop. Middleton stood on his head and kept the bag going with his Bre impar- begs. going at 'the non- he iacms, tu a woman powdering her nose. The exhibition. was something new io most the crowd, and a deciied addition to the eard, Benny Sheridan, 108 pound wrestling champion of Cafada in 1920, handled the wrestling match- 6s. Russell Young was the third man in the ring for the boxing, while Benny Sheridan and Staft Johnston acted as judges. Now that we have achieved the silent turnstile, we may hope for the taciturn after-dinner speaker. -- Shoe and Leather Reporter.
