Miss Swail's steady lobbing, with Armstrong's smashing attack at the net, more than offset Miss London's brilliant driving, and Dr. McMullen's steady placement strokes. The match proved a fitting climax to an interesting tournament, which had already provided many close and exciting games. The Senior section of the Eastern Ontario League, in which the local club is entered, finished their schedule last Sat- urday, with three clubs dead- locked for first place--Oshawa, Kingston and Tweed. The play- offs will commence next Satur- day, August 22nd, probably be- tween Oshawa and Tweed.

Regan's Homer Won for Orioles | Baltimore, Aug. 15.--Bill Re- gan's home run in the eighth, de- livered with Harry Rice and joe Hauser on base as the result of passes, gave the Orioles a ting- ling victory over Toronto in the final game of the series here to- day. The final score was 6-4, and with Guy Cantrell pitching in rare form until the eighth it ap- peared as though the locals were doomed. The big righthander . held the Flock to four hits but was yanked in the eighth when he walked Rice and Hauser. Allen finished the inning and it was off him Re- gan blasted his homer, but the de. feat was charged to Cantrell be- cause he had put the winning run on base. SAFE CLEAN DEPENDABLE ECONOMICAL .

The Leafs turned on their machine-like play in high speed at the start, and before the bewildered Maroons could organize a defence against it the first period was over and the locals enjoyed a four-goal lead. The extra goals gathered early in the game were enough for vic- tory, but the Leafs were not sat- iefled, and after being held in check in the second session they broke lose again in the closing 20 minutes and rammed in six more. The largest crowd of the season defied the sultry weather, and was treated to a splendid ex- hibition of the indoor game. Somerville and Yates to Play in Golf Title Final Montreal, Aug, 15.--Head and shoulders above an original inter national field of 122, two golfing giants marching over the historic fairways of the Royal Montreal Golf Club into the final of the Canadian amateur golf champion- ship. They are C. Ross (Sandy) Somerville of the London Hunt Club, London, and Arthur (Ducky) Yates, broad-shouldered affable member of the Oakhill Country Club~of Rochester, N.Y., and this morning they will begin a 36-hole match round for the Dominion's classic crown, now held by the dour, silent Somer- ville, thrice the national king of he amateurs of the links. Indicative of their clean-cut caperiority over the field were their victories of yesterday in the cmi-final round. Somerville shook off one of the most doggedly-fight. ing aspirants for his title in Bob Morrison, the soft-spoken repre- sentative of the Uplands Club, Victoria, B.C., by a margin of 7 and 6 in a gruelling match tha? went 30 holes of its scheduled 38. Yates at the same time was scor- ing a victory over Jack Cameron, the youthful veteran of Laval- sur-le-Lac, Montreal, by a count of 7 and 5. Thug the finalists completed four rounds of match play in all of which they scored | one-sided triumphs to send star: i from all over the continent back to their homes unsuccessful. Canadiens Beat Cornwall 19to 5 | Montreal, Aug, 15.-- Montreal Canadiens went on a scoring ram- page last night and smothered the Cornwall Colts, 19 goals to 5, in a scheduled Professional Lacrosse League match. The local team had a clever, accurate passing game working to perfection and ripped . their way around and through the Cornwall defence. Canadiens held their place in sec- ond place in the league, keeping step with the Toronto Maple Leafs who are two points ahead. RUTH AND GEHRIG KEEP UIP THEIR RACE ! Cleveland, Aug. 15. -- Cleve- land's Indians survived Babe Ruth's 31st home run and Lou Gehrig's 32nd yesterday and wal- Joped the New Fork Yankees in both' games of a double-header, The scores were 13 to 7 and 9 to 1. The Indians won three of te four games. JACKIE PHILLIPS LOSES TO DONOHUE New York, Aug. 15.-- Gordon Donohue, New York, 1461-2 pounder, last night outpointed Jackie Phillips, Toronto, 145, 4n a six-round boxing bout at the Long Beach Stadium, | | GPORT SNAPSHOT 3 S| What a Game! What a game that was at the Motor City Stadium last night. When the Falcons went to bat in the ninth inning, seven runs behind, few ex- {pected them to win the game. But they came through in brilliant fa- | shion, got their opponents badly rattled, and finally V. Elliott's smash- ing home run ended the affair with the Falcons winners, That is just the Kind of game that makes softball fascinating sport for the fans, and the crowd sure had its money's worth last night. » * * * ' Tannery in the Lead The Tannery team got the jump in the South Ontario league play- offs last night by winning the first game from the S. and A. Billiards It was a good ball game, tightly played, and the two teams appear to be very evenly matched. The second game should be another fast con- test, and any team might win it. * . * * Won Main Event Goodman's rink, of Oshawa, won the main event at the tournament of the Whitby Bowling Club in earning the right to hold the Farewell Cup.

LJ * * * The Fourth Playoff Game Mike's Place and the Falcons clash again on Monday night in the fourth game of the Big Four League Playoffs. The count now stands two for the Falcons and one for Mike's Place, so Monday's game will cither see the Falcons declared champions or the series tied up. These playoff games have provided many sensational features, and another big crowd should be on hand for Monday's tilt. » * . * More For the Pros. Along with two former amateurs, Bill Coulter, member of the Dom inion championship Oshawa team of 1929, and player this year for the Native Sons, has jumped to the pros., and played for Montreal Maroons last night in a box lacrosse game. This was expected, as Coulter was last week banned from amateur lacrosse. The Toronto Leafs are up in the air, however, as they claim that Coulter was on their reserve list, and there is likely to be quite a little argument over his jump to the Maroons. HOw «SWIM Martha Noreliur Wrig ht THE TRUDGEON STROKE The trudgeon stroke has been generally superseded by the crawl but [ advise every beginner to learn it as it makes an ideal stroke to bridge the gap: between the overarm stroke and the crawl. In both the trud- geon and the crawl the arms and breathing are the same, the difference being in the movement of the feet, While the crawl has the peculiar rhythmic flutter heat, the trudgeon retains the "scissor kick" of the side stroke, modified slightly because the swimmer is lying face down on the water, Care should be exercised so that the kick is made smoothly, as any jerking will act in retarding the forward progress of the swimmer and will cut down speed. Keep the gs rigid to the knee without impeding free action from the knees downward, The kick is made with each downward movement of the hand. For the arm movement the body should rest on the water with the hands swinging alternately forward to the full reach, in a direct line from the shoulders, palms down. The stroke is downwards, fife arm returning to the side. The elbows should be kept rigid until the arms come back through the stroke to the side. The arm is then brought up out of the water and brought forward with the elbow bent at first, the hand coming out sideways, palms outward. This stroke is similar to the over-arm stroke. When the right arm is pointed back in line with the legs at the finish of the stroke, the left arm is just catching the water, thus assuring the continued forward action agains the resist- ance of the water which is the prime feature of the trudgeon and the crawl strokes. Make sure that the forward arm is beginning the stroke before the other arm starts out of the water. The scissor kick is executed simultaneously with the drive of the arm through the water, a kick to each stroke of the left and right arm, making two kicks to each full rotation of the arms. When the scissor kick has been mastered in the use of the side stroke the transition to the scissor kick in this new position will be a simple matter, except that slghtly more strain on the stomach muscles will be noted at first owing to the fact that these muscles are tightened with the body lying flat and rigid on the surface of the water.

Ninth Inning Rally Gave Falcons Win Winners Ninth Inning Seven Runs Behind and Scored Eight Runs to Score a Victory Over the Malleables In one of the most thrilling girls' softball games seen this year, or any year, the Falcons at the Motor City Stadium last night went into the ninth inning seven runs behind, staged an eight run rally and defeated the Ontario Malleables by a score of 18 tos 17. It 'was'a tough game for the Malleables to 'lose; but a great one to win, and the crowd went wild in that hectic ninth frame when the Falcon batters made hay of the offerings of the Malleable pitchers, and with two In Girls League Game Went Into the, Over O.M.1. | home runs, three walks and a variety of other run-scoring stunts, delighted their supporters by winning a game which looked hopelessly lost. Up to the sixth | and seventh, it was a close game, | withthe two teams alternating | in taking the league, but in the | last three innings the pitchers | weakened, and rung came thick | and fast. Malleables got one run in the | first, and stayed aheads until the third, when the Falcons scored a couple. In the third the Malle- ables went ahead again by scor- in, three runs, and they added two more in the fourth, while the Falcons, with one in the fifth and four in, the seventh, kept within distance. In the seventh, however, the Malleable girls tore lose, and, scored three, adding two more In the eighth. The Fal- cons came right back with three in the eighth, to make the score in that frame 13 to 10 for the Malleable girls. Then came the ninth. The Malleables with a couple of walks, a hit and a home run, scored four rung and were up seven runs when the Ialcons went in to bat, / - Miss Holmes started things with a home run. Miss Walker hit safely, and the next three batters walked, forcing in a run, E. Elliott, hit safely, and two more runs scored, M. Elliott was safe on an error and another run scored. Then V. Elliott strode up to the bat, and smashed out a home run, to score the runners ahead of her and the old ball game was all over with only one out. The batting stars of the game were on the Malleables lineup, Miss Spencer getting three hits in three official times at bat, end gcoring four runs, while Migs Sib- lock had five runs and five hits out of six trips to the plate, in- cluding two home runs, For the Falcons. Ede. Elliott had three hits and three runs in five times at bat. The pitchers failed to show their usual effectiveness. Ten of the Falcons reached first base on balls, while five of the Malleables walked. The Falcons were outhit by 17 to 12, but their hits, coupled with the epidemic of walks in the eighth and ninth innings, were enough to win, the game, The score by innings: R. H. BE.
