Goodman and T. Johns in the Doubles, over J. All- man and Geo. Wright. Goodman and Johns will represent the Club in the Provincial playoffs. Geo. Morison's rink won the Club championship for rinks and the right to represent the local Club in this section of the playoffs. The winning rink, consisting of J. Hef- ferman, F. Cochrane, C. Branton, and Geo. Morison, skip, deefated J. H. R. Luke, O. M. Alger, H. M, Black and C. C. Stenhouse, skip, in the finals. : The competition in both competi=« tions was very keen and the win- ners had to overcome some deter- mined opposition before being de- clared victors. "Bunny" Austin Defeats Wood Paris, July 18.--Honors were even yesterday at the end of the first pair of singles matches in the tennis battle between Great Britain and the United States for the right to challenge France for the Davis Cup. Henry "Bunny" Austin, Great Britain's blond young stylist, de- feated Sydney Wood, his United States counterpart 2--6 6--0, 8--6, 7-->5, but strapping Frank Shields beat Great Britain's big fellow, Fred Perry, in the sec- ond battle of the youngsters, winning in straight sets, 10--8, 6--4, 6--2. Thus, the final result of the American and European inter- zone play will not be known until Sunday when today's opponents will be reversed for the final pair of singles. Victory either way in the doubles match tomorrow, tomorrow, however, may all but clinch the right to meet the in- jury-handicapped French for the historic trophy next week.

By Geo. CamppeLL, Sports Editor PORT SNAPSHOT . Game Postponed Until Tonight Rain prevented the playing of the Ladies' sottball game billed for the Motor City Stadium last night, when Falcons and Chosen Friends were to have met. It was decided to postpone the game and as the Stadium is open tonight, the game has been called for this evening at 7.00 p.m. Falcons and Chosen Friends are two sigart softball teams and if Chosen Friends flash their best form they will give the Falcons a real battle and with any kind of a break, may win the decision. Falcons won from O.M.L. last Tuesday because they know when and how to take advantage of the opposing team's errors. Tonight's game should attract a good crowd. * * * . Ontario Championship For Oshawa Girl Miss Ruth Fishleigh is to be congratulated on bringing the Ladies Junior Tennis Championship to the Oshawa Tennis Club. In defeating Miss Norma Hall of Ottawa in the final round yesterday afternoon, Miss Fishleigh had to play sterling tennis, and the games were close all the way through. She was given splendid encouragement by a large number of Oshawa tennis enthusiasts who were present for the final, and at the close of her victorious match she was showered with con- gratulations by her club-mates. * * . . A "Bouquet for "Bill" Blainey Some time ago the President of the O.A.L.A, "Bill" Blainey ac- cused several other members of the O.AL.A. executive of lacking "back-bone", Last night's issue of the Toronto Daily Star contained a reply from one, J. McGee. To say that the reply is definite is put- ting it mildly. The writer has the Oshawa situation very clearly stated and for the most part, he is not very tar wrong. There is no need for us to continue the subject as it is a well known fact that the O.A.L.A. has given Oshawa practically no co-operation, and almost no support. A copy of the letter is given elsewhere on this page. Al Ld LJ . Mike's Place Win in Port Hore Mike's Place Juniors played Port Hope's strongest softball team last Mike's Place proved much too superior for the homesters, who were only just able to avoid a whitewashing. * a . * Vince Barton Back in Line-Up Vince Barton, Toronto boy recently recalled by the Chicago Cubs from Los Angeles, broke into the line-up yesterday when he pinch-hit for Pitcher Bush against the Giants. He didn't hit but it seems only a matter of time until he will be playing regularly.--~Taken from the Mail and Empire. * * * * "Newsies" vs. Falcons Again Mon. Night Falcons and "Newsies" hook up again on Monday night at the Motor City Stadium in another "Big Four" game. This is the only sporting attraction billed for Monday night and the Stadium should be very popular. "Newsies" must win this game il they are to have a playoff berth. If Falcons win Monday's game they will have practically clinch- cd escond place and the right to meet Mike's Place in the playoffs for the City Championship and Miller-Libby Trophy. Thursday's night's game was a great softball struggle with the teams deadlocked at 3-3 at the end of the fifth. The teams are both very strong, with the Falcons having an edge, but it is so slight that it would not take much for the "Newsies" to take the decision, * * . . Miss England II. Commands Respect When Betty Carstairs's speed boats were beaten in the International Harmsworth Trophy race last year, it was feared that England would not challenge again for some seasons, but the prophets made an error, and Kaye Don will represent the Old Country with the fastest boat the world has ever known, the Miss England II, in which Sir Henry Sea- grave lost his life a year ago during speed trials. Don has driven his boat at the tremendous speed of over 110 miles A Hot Shot From A Lacrosse Fan The following letter appeared in yesterday evening's issue of the Toronto Daily Star. It should be of great interest to local lacrosse fans. Sporting Editor: Having followed the game Of lacrosse for a number of years, I am inclined to think that the drawback to the game is caused by the O.A.L.A. officials. The resident rule has been a bone of contention for years, yet the players are allowed to play with teams for which they cannot properly qualify, The former presidents of the association have allowed this affair to go on with- out checking it, and to my mind this year's president has been the worst the association has had in years. The reason is because he does not seem to have any back-bone, yet he accuses his as- soclates of not having any. Oshawa dropping out can be put down to his failure to live up to his word. Oshawa was ad- vised early in the year that cer- tain players would have to play in Oshawa this year or would not be granted certificates to play in the O.A.L.A. this season, Osh- awa entered the senior series with this understanding, yet some of their last year's players moved to Highland Creek, yet they were working in Oshawa and brought on to Toronto and given positions with the city (which I should judge is not very falr for the taxpayers of Toron- to). One player was granted a certificate on the strength of a letter from one of the commis- sioners at the city hall, stating the said player would be starting to work on such a date. Another player got his certificate by se- curing a position with the city. I find that there are two other players living and working in Oshawa and I understand they wish to play for a Toronto team. One player in particular has been refused a certificate on several occasions, and if thig player likes the game so much, why did he not play in Oshawa and help the game on, but apparently players want to be on a winning team or some other reason. Now, if these players had not been granted certificates to play with Toronto team and the president stood firm, no doubt they would have been playing for Oshawa, and Oshawa would have been up near the top instead of at the bottom. The men back of the Oshawa team this year, no doubt have lost a lot of money, and they have been given no protection by the association, What lacrosse needs is men with strong back-bone and not weak ones. This latter cover just a small proportion of the way lacrosse is handled by the O.A. L.A. and if anyone ever attended some of their meetings, they would see for themselves how the meetings are conducted. Enough for the present, J. McGEE. CORNWALL WINS FROM MAPLE LEAFS 18.--Cornwall's Cornwall, July 18 band of veteran lacrosse players humbled the (firstplace Toronto Maple Leafs by a 7-4 score in a professional box lacrosse league fixture here last night. The locals' win cut down the Maple Leafs' first-place margin and helped the Montreal Maroons and Canadiens in their drives' to overtake the leaders. The game was roughly played and penalties were numerous, Cornwall took the lead a min- ute and a half after the face-off when Collins beat Large on a clean shot. The Whitford boys made it 2 to 0 in another 83% minutes, Rube doing the scoring. Cornwall had the better of the play, vet Silmer stopped some sizzlers toward the close. New York, July 18.--Wes Fer- rell, young Cleveland ace, made a personal matter of defeating the New York Yankees yesterday, 2 to 1, to give the Indians three games out of five for the series.

Under Wood knows that course Keys'Errors Help Leafs Win Again Johnny Willis, Reading sotuhpaw, formerly of Nashville, where two or three other "present Reading players were pastiming last season, did not deserve to get beaten by the Maple Leafs at the Stadium yesterday af- ternoon. He gave a fine hurling performance and appeared to have the Leafs' winning streak knocked into a cocked hat until the eighth inning. In that inning a defense that had cracked on two previous occasions and given Toronto a run each time made a third misplay, and the O'Neillimen, quick to seize the opportunity, batted in three runs and recorded another triumph, their seventh in a row, by a 5 to 4 score. The Leafs really didn't earn one of their five runs. An error by Conroy in the fourth handed them their first counter, and Matthews obliginly let Stack's single get through him in the seventh to en- able Burke to score from first. In the eighth, with one out and Shiver on first, Strong grounded to Con- roy and with a double play in sight, Partridge droped Conroy's throw at second and both runners were safe. A base on balls and two singles followed and three runs were in. Although Guy Cantrell was. the Leafs' starting pitcher, Nick Har- rison got credit for the victory, Cantrell held the Keys to five hits in seven innings, but when he de- parted in favor of a pinch- hitter in the seventh the visitors had three runs, one of which was scored in the first inning when Joe Rabbitt let a base hit trickle through him. For four of the seven innings that Cantrell pitched, the Keys did not get a man to first base. But they got full value out of four of the five hits they made oft him. Harrison worked the last two Yrames and managed to get out of a bad jam in the eighth with only one run scored on him, the Keys being retired with the bases filled. A Hard-Fought Contest The game only drew a small corwd, for the weather was far from favorable previous to starting time and the last two innings were paly- ed in a slight drizzle of rain. It was an interesting contest, though, and as hard fought as its predeces- sors. The Leafs. showed a real fighting spirit, and that, coupled with the kinks in the Reading arm- or, enabled them to keep their wine ning streak intact. GROVE WINS 19TH Philadelphia, July 18.--Lefty Grove registered his nineteenth vittory of the season and tenth in succession here yesterday by hurling the Philadelphia Ath- letics to a 6-to-3 decision over Detroit.
