Alliston was never in the game and lost out 30 to 4. It must have been disheartening for the Alliston team as they could only get six kits off the offerings of Whitely, while Mike's Place made 23 hits off Gould, who was generally wild and received poor support from his catcher. Although he struck out three Gould issued three walks and had three wild pitches. Mike's Place started off in the first inning on their march to vic- tery with three runs to which they added another two in the second juning, with six in the third just to make it sure. On the other hand the only innings in which the visitors scored were the third fourth and fifth, getting two in the third and one in each of the other innings.

ROCHESTER REDUCES NEWARK'S LEAD Rochester, N.Y., Aug. 26.-- Rochester staged a ninth inning rally yesterday to defeat Newark, 7 to 6, and take the lead in the series. The Wings went into the last frame trailing, 6 to 3, but a barrage of base hits drove Byron Speece from the hill. The home forces scored the winning runs on six singles and a walk.

The Bisons stepped out and cuffed Deshong so briskly he was forced to retire in the first in- ning as the locals assumed a lead of four runs. They picked up four more off Hartman in mid-game, as he was very wild, issuing seven walks. Manager Bob Shaw- key went in to pitch in the seventh and got a big hand when he retired the entire Bison side on strikes. Heinie Mueller hit his second home run in two days for the Bisons. Fred Fussell worked well in the pinches for the Bisons and fanned nine rivals, Native Sons Even Games With Brampton Brampton, Aug. 25--The O.A.L.A, senior championship will be settled on 'the battlegrounds of many fam- ous classics in Weston, for Native Sons, showing greatly improved form over their Saturday display at Ulster Stadium and gallantly fight- ing for the title from start to finish did the unexpected and won from Excelsiors here last night by 5 to J. They deserved their glorious victory for they showed more fight than the champions, while in passing and fielding they were much the better: Excelsiors took too much for grant- ed, and as a result turned in an- other chapter of mistakes, which ev- entually cost the game. Their ex- hibitions at Rosalea this*season left much to be desired, and, not de- tracting from the fine success of the Sons, the champions did not show so well as they did 'Saturday. And the series is now tied up, with both teams winning away from home, While the crowd was not as large as generally attend the O.A.L.A. senior classics, here, there were nearly three thousand fans present, and they took.a proper soaking as well as a disappointing ending for the vast majority. It 'was Bramp- ton s ninth consecutive participation in the final championship clashes, and there was a general confidence that a second straight title and The Globe Shield would be in Excelsiors' keeping tonight. But Native Sons playing as a team possessed chang- ed this arrangement, and now the scene shifts to Weston, where on Wednesday night the two teams will battle to a finish for the right to meet Montreal A.A A. at Varsity Stadium on Saturday, BASEBALL RESULTS INTERNATIONAL LEAGUE PLC.

I have training should be always taken nine hours of sleep for weeks before a critical swimming contest. Sleep is, of course, the best body builder in the market and without plenty of it all your exercising wont avail you much, Don't worry! Many a race has been lost hefore the contestant enter- ed the water by the waste of nervous energy brought on by constantly thinking of the race and of the chances of winning, off the contest. Keep your mind In training for speed swimming never do too much fast work before the contest. Conserve your energy work well before the race, trying to the days just prior to the races it is better to cover fairly long for the race itself. Do your fast get the best out of your time, In distances in perfect fory than to do short racing distances under full power, Never attempt even hundred yards through the water only a short race n good form without muscle or heart strain, All short races are won on form slackens speed. until you are able to take three Fast movement and thrashing If you have witnessed swim- ming contests you will have noticed that the winner seemed to swim "with practically no effort." The real effort should be expended in a vigorous, driving arm motion while making the stroke under the water. The recovery of the arm should be kept back consciously to prevent the tendency to hurry the arm movements in the excitement of the race. Too hurried recovery will disturb the even six beat rhythm of the feet which gives the crawl stroke its regular driving power, REGULAR 2 DRG POWER FOR SPEED « "NOT "THRASHING THE WATER -- .TO-MORROW--SWIMMING FOR DISTANCE ATHLETICS BUMP ST.

J. A. Mol- lison, who landed at Croydon, Aug. 6, on his ninth day out from Wynd- ham, Western Australia, has to his credit one of the most carefully planned long distance solo flights in aviation history and his triumph is but the culmination of 12 months of arduous preparation. No detail was omitted. The route . was studied again and again, his machine -- a standard "Gipsy Moth" light biplane fitted with extra fuel tankage--pre- pared to perfection, information of any kind likely to be useful along the way was eagerly sought. Fin- ally, all these data were condensed into a notable document, a guide- book of the route showing minute particulars of every aerodrome, facts about prevailing winds and weather along every direction, times of sun- rise and moonrise, fuel stocks, an engine inspection schedule and a time-table which, if fatigue had not defeated him, Mollison would have followed to reach England one day carlier than he did. Add to this intense preliminary work a de gged insistence on tho- rough routine inspection of engine and aeroplane at the end of every stage and astonishing trustworthi- ness of the engine--though run at full throttle for several days, some- times for more than 20 hours at a time, it never missed a beat--and the almost miraculous achievement may be more accurately estimated. Mollison not only knocked two days off the time taken a few weeks ago by C. W. Scott, in a similar machine for thehomeward journey; he also beat by several hours Scott's record for the outward flight to Au- stralia, and, therefore, has made the quickest journey in history between Australia and this country. His ma- chine lifted into the air no less than 110 gallons of fuel (nine gallons more than Scott's fuel load) 'the heaviest load ever airborne by a light aeroplane. With tanks full Mollison's 'plane could remain aloft for a distance non-stop of approxi- b mately 2,000 miles, A cigarette was his first request at Croydon. Then he had a bath. On reaching his London hotel he went straight to bed. He had tra- velled 12,000 miles with only 10 hours' sleep. He left Rome at midnight on the last "hop" of 900 miles. He had to fight bad weather all the way and at the time he was expected at Lympne he was cruising over Mar- seilles waiting for the weather to improve to enable him to fly up the Rhone Valley. In the end he fad to risk the wea- ther--and he landed at Le Bourget to refuel shortly after 11 o'clock. Master George Inson was the first of a party of children to reach the aeroplane when it landed on the Crumbles, near the famous Mahon murder bungalow. "What is the time?" asked the airman. ing told it was 1.35, he said: Mollison, the Australian affman. "vl am Am On be- | I near Folkestone? I have lost my way. I must be at Lympne before tea-time to break the record." While the airman was resting a: party of women and children, di- rected by A. Western, who had been left in charge of the machine, push- ed it three-quarters of a mile to a grassy marshland and Mr. Mollison - 4 was able to make a good take-off at 345 to continue his journey. Threee quarters of an hour later the little Gipsy Moth appeared behind the hangars at Croydon in the wake of a giant German air ner A crowd of nearly eople waiting to greet him i ed F. Montague, Under-Sceretary for Air, Mrs. Hislop, an aunt, and Mr. Ren- wick, an uncle. Describing his flight to a News~ Chronicle reporter, he said "The last lap from Rome was the worst part of the journey. "I reached Marseilles just before daybreak and intended to follow the Rhone inland, but low clouds blocked the way. For two hours I cruised over Marseilles hoping for an improvement in the weather. When the mnprovement did not come I made an attempt to get through over the mountains, but I found this impossible, too, and I re- turned to Marseilles and chanced my luck up the Rhone Valley, "I managed to get through and reached Le Bourget shortly after 11 o'clock to refuel. While my machine was being got ready again I spoke to an Imperial Airways pilot who advised me of my best passage across the Channel. 1 decided to take his advice, but when I reached the Channel I sorgot his instruc- tions and had to cross as best I could. Apparently the route I chose was the worst that could be found "There was a heavy mist when 1 reached the English coast shortly after one o'clock. But TI was in England, and that was all I cared." FARL JELLICOE APPROVES Montreal, Aug. 25.--A nation- al government for Britain was strongly endorsed by Earl Jellicoe when the famous British admiral was interviewed here yesterday, Commenting on the reported formation of a national govern- ment for Britain, along non par- tizaun lines, Admiral Jellicoe re- parked that he could not express an opinion on behalf of the Bri- tish Empire Service League, "However, my own persvnal view," he said, 'has been all alcng that the only way to solve Britain's difficulties lies in forme ation of a national government.
