Tom'ng from behind and scor- !"{ng three runs in the last innings, {ff Andrew's defeated Motor Jun- I fors by a 6 to 4 score at Alexandra | Fark last night, A good crowd {| eonsidering the very unfavorable weather turned out to see the game /'and they were more than repald iW for their journey to the top of the | hill, hy the exhibition of baseball ! that was produced. Although there has been two excellnet games of 'haseball seen here in the last three days, previous to this game, neith- ier one of them could compare to the battle royal beiween these | rival aggregations last night, The | excitement started in the very first | inningd and continued without a ! break In interest until it eultim- iated in one of the most thrilling climaxes that has been seen In any ball game at Alexandra Park for many a day, To start at the last innings first. ito show how the game went, St. Andrew's worked a knock-out of a double play with none out at the time to retire Motors' runners on third and second bases, Had these runners not heen retived and had they scored,the score would have i been tie and with the heavy hitting and of the batting order cominr to hat, the game would in al likelihnnd have heen all over with the Motors on top of the heap Bnt such was not the case and St | Andrew's held the lead which they | seenred with sueh a cyclone of a rallv in their half of the same in- ninms, Their onthnrst was started when Shannon, the first man wn, secured n walk and was followed by a hit from Young which placed men on first pnd second with still pone out. Carver advanred them when he laid down. n heautiful sacrifice bunt. and they were then scored on 8 hit, bv Baird into left field which put St, Andrew's one rup in the lead at the time. The two run . margin came later when Baird {stole third and came home on 28 throw to first base which was made 'to retire Gummow. ii As.gtated before, the excitemen' 'listartd in he first innings and con- tinued without a break until the llyery Jast man was retired. With twn men out when they got under way in the first stanzas, Motors scored their first two counters of be game and did it when Elliott rmeled into right and was follow- i by a hit from Jones which re- ¢ ~ ted in an error against Little 'Both men were scored when Mav stuck his finger into St. Andrew's ple and pulled out with another sinele into right field.

"Casey" Luke started the parade when he drew down walk pumber one. Walt Shannon followed with a sine'e and oung was safe when Luke was re- tired ot third on his ground hit ball. Carver was given charity pumber two to fill the bases, but the scoring was held off for a lit- fie while when O'Neill retired Shannon at the plate on an at- tempted sacrifice bunt by Baird which didn't work omt as it was evneocted.

Petrie advanced him when he sent 2 hot grounder between second base and stop. which went for a pull out with the much coveted vie- tory. They held the lead all through the sixth and also made an attempt to lucrease it, which was confined to a hit which was gathered in orf Har's bat But with the darkness falling rapidly it was apparent that the Saints would only have one chance left to make any additions to the score. They took advan- tage of this however and scored in the manner which has already been mentioned, Motors came back in thelr last half of the innings with a determ- ination to bring back their lost one run margin and they started in the right direction when Bouch- er took the second charity from Shannon, Petrie, the next batter, bunted in front of .the plate and in an unsuccessful attempt to catch Boucher going to second base, both men were safe with none out. Little wonder then at this time that the St. Andrews' supporters were beginning to feel uneasy while the Motors' followers began to find their voices again. It was at this stage that the double play was worked, the runners having advanced another base in the mean- time on a wild pitch by Shannon. It was started when Leveque hit a grounder to Little at short stop who immediately threw to the plate o catch Boucher who went in the minute the ball was hit, From Luke at the plate, the ball was thrown to Young at third who tagged Petrie trying to make the hot corner, while the third out was timost made then and there when Young threw to Gummow at sec- md to miss a play on Leveque only by inches. The double play and ear tripe play scened to have heen too much for the Motors an. the next out was made on Shellen- koff, the next batter, when he hit feebly in front of the plate, Evryone seemed to have a good hand in for the leading roles, and the stars were hard to pick. Pet- 'ie pitched good ball for Motors hile he was on the mound, and the same may be said with the same emphasis In regards to Shan- ion. Harrington played a good game on first hase and made a iice triple into the bargain. May got the hit that scored Motors' two runs ip the first, and played an :xcellent game at third on top of t. Baird looked good for St. An- Irew's by coming through with the iit that scored the Saints' tieing nd winning runs in the last frame nd also made two catches in the outfield. Young scored two runs and got the hit in the seventh that started the rally off in earnest. Hubbell got no less than three walks out of four trips to the plate and thus had very little chance to show himself, but he made sev- eral nice catches at first base. Rowden made one of the snappiest plays of the night by taking a low bounding hit in his gloved hand while on the run and throwing to first base to miss retiring Hare by A very close margin. Boucher made a pice catch for Motors. &89- tle fielded a good game for St. An- drew's. This game now decides the win- ner of the affair which these teams nlayed to a five all tie some time ago, and it glso gives St. Andrew's the undisputed leadership of the 'eague. On top of this it gave the fans one of the best exhibitions of exciting baseball that they have ieen in a Junior baseball game for some days. The box score was: Ishawa Motors A.B. Leveque, ss.

If there was ever a more exciting game of baseball, those with weak hearts should have kent away. There was mud two inches thick all around the infield and it was about twice that deep at third base, and yet the hoys didn't seem to mind it at all, no more than they did the drizzle of rain that almost soaked them at the first of the game, were out to play baseball and They play baseball they did, The bare facts of the game without any of the seem- ingly necessary adjectives, were as follows: Motors scored two earned runs in the first innings, St. Andrew's scored three in the third which were the result of O'Neil walking five batters and allowing one hit, Motors scored two in the fifth on a walk, a hit and an error to go one run in the lead, St. Andrew's scored three runs in the seventh and last in- nings, on a walk, two hits and a fielder's choice. Motors were prevented from scoring in the last half of the seventh by a double play with none out, bases at the time, St. Andrew's have won Men were on second and third eight straight games without a defeat this season, If they can come through the Oshawa District playoffs with this record sustained, they will truly be a great ball team, This is more than can be expected, however, since the Motors are a rejuvinated team and a 100 per cent better aggregation than they were at the first of the season, Herbie Wolfe deserves a lot of credit for this and the honors will go to him as much as to the play- ers if they make a name for forward to play-offs, themselves in the much looked Motors Seniors are also beginning to set up a string of consecutive victories, and th them in the remaining league games this season, e fans will do well to watch It was stated in this column yesterday that the whole team would make the trip to New Toronto today but the fact was over- looked that Harry "Hank" Morison is at present on his honeymoon and in parts unknown, although it is learned from a good source that he may be in the vicinity of Mont- real, "Hank's" absence from the third base will certainly weaken the team and it will mean that the remainder of the players will only hustle that All other games with the much more, exception of that already men- tioned between Motors and St. Andrew's were called off last night, Two Industrial League games, between Textile and LaSalles at Alexandra Park and Trimmers and Phillips at Cowan Park were postponed, while a Ladies' Softball affair between G.M.C.'s and Robsons also had to be added to the bulky list of L. 8, L. games which have to be replayed, By the looks of things at eleven o'clock this morning, all of to- day's games will have to be carried over also, Oshawa has seen a touring ball team from the west, and now gets a chance to see a touring ball team from the east, Following the popular visit of the Regina Argos, there comes the good news from General Motors Baseball Club that the Maritime Senior College stars will play an ex- hibition game at Alexandra o'clock. It's a Canadian ball Park on Monday evening at 6.30 team which is doing as much for the east as the Argos is doing for the west, and the game should see as many, Junior games. These tourin there is little doubt but that The Industrial League s if not more fans on hand as did the two ~ teams deserve support and they will get it. tandings which appear in to- day's sport page, do not include any games which have been played this week.

They are touring Can- ada from coast to coast, Manager Barto sends, on word that he is out to take the measure of the Motor City gang and thay he will use his very strongest line-up. Here is the way the Hastern College nine will line up for the game: -- "Swank" Dugan, 1b; Fred Regan, 2b; W. Barto, ss and Manager; "Bern" Eaton, 8h; "Con'" Munro, ¢; D. Munro, If; T.

Monday it is now: practically assured that he will be with the Easterners here. It will be a real exhibition. Fans will see the star athlete of the Maritime Provinces in "Swank Dugan at 1st base--this boy has won honors galore for Acadia Uni- versity and a peep at him is well worth the admission price alone. Then there is "Bill" Matthews. It Is a treat to see this boy run the paths. Reports have it that is he once gets a base, he will steal the shirt off an Egyptian mummy. "Con." Munro, is the "Babe Ruth' of the party and Oh, Boy! how this baby can sock the old ap- ple. He hits the ball often and gets a tremendous drive, also places his hits well. Oshawa fans are cer- tainly lucky to be able to see this calibre of baseball. Have Own Orchestra and Comedy Play The boys. are real hot stuff and are very versatile, having made up 4 jazz orchestra and a one act comedy play amongst themselves. Whenever they have put it on it has gone over big. They are all students of Acadia and Mount Al- lison Universities--a clean cut, good living buneh of athletes and a real credit to the Maritimes, Their's is the work of binding the bonds of friendship between Ontario and the Maritime Provinces and a'l Oshawa lovers of baseball should turn out at Alexandra Park on Mon- day night to give the visitors the an event well worth remembering. an event wll worth remembring.
