ST WIN FR Lo Soin & § ORO HER ¥ i E TOMORROW Oshawa Has Three Left For Ontario Titles e Chances" Oshawa has three hopes left in championship in 1927 an three sole entrants are the Oshawa Motors baseball club of the Lake- shore Senior Baseball League, the Oshawa City team of the T. and D. soccer league and the Chevrolet softball team. The first two teams play crucial games tomorrow after- noon. The former SnEaging the Peterhoro Petes here in tussle that means the Hw of the Lakeshore league, while the latter lay an important game with Mim- co. Both local squads are in the best of condition and ready to meet their opponents. Should the locals defeat Peterhoro in their game tomorrow afternoon at Alexandra park the series will be tied with each team having won two games. As it now stands the Petes have won two and Oshawa one. Peterboro won the first and third games, while a week ago Saturday the homesters came out ahead. While the local team was decisive- ly heaten here Monday afternoon in the holiday fixture Manager Benson and his associates are pretty near certain that they will he out ahead Saturday night when the results are written on the score hoard. The whole squad was on hand at Alex- andra park last night and from early in the evening until dark the players went through their paces under the careful eye of Manager Benson. Plenty of batting and field- ing practice was given them in pre- paration for the game and the pitch- ers, all dour of them, had a good workout. They will probably rest tonight. When the many handicaps which the Benson hoys worked under last Monday are considered, it is no wonder that Peterboro came out on top. In the first place Dainty, who has pitched the greater part of all the games against the Petes needed a much deserved rest after the Sat- urday game and wasn't in any ioo good shape. Matthews, upon whom Benson has been depending greatly this year, had a sore arm. Kellar was away on his honeymoon, Delen- ey, the portsider, was at Queen's trying examinations, while Sommer- ville was competing in the track events at the Canadian National Ex- hibition. On top of all this, the junior catcher Norm Benson, split a finger last Saturday while relieving. However all the players reported in good condition at practice last night and arc confident of giving the Petes a battle. Just who will be selected to face the opposition from the mound is doubtful. Manager Benson has his four pitchers ready, two portsiders and two right handers. Whiteley will probably he behind the bat with Kel- lar and Harrington ready for first Penu and Morison are avail- able for second while Benson and Morison will play short and third respectively. This would leave Man- ager Benson free to use Williams, Fair, Matthews, May, Little, Schultz, Dainty, Deleney, Sommerville for the rest of the positions. The tunssle is scheduled to com- mence at 3 o'clock sharp and in view of the important battle a large erowd is sure to attend. In short it simply means that Oshawa must win to stay in the race.

Tilden, with an attack of dazzling brilliancy, outstroked and outplayed Cochet in four thrill- ing sets, decided by scores of 6-4, 2-6, 6-2, 8-6, after the machine-like game of Rene Lacoste had crushed "Little Bill" Johnston by the stun- ning decisive count of 6-3, 6-2, 6-2. Johnston's route was as tragic and complete as Tilden's triumph was spectacular. The little Californian was only a shadow of his former self, lacking control as well as power in a vain fight against the flawless ! defense and tactics of Lacoste. Til- den, in contrast, seldom has reached such astonishing heights of Btroking genius.

Lucas is an improved twirler, having gained by his short experience in organized ball. His progress will be watched with inter est by local fans, Sylvester Johnson, who shut out the Bisons without a hit or run on one occasion this season, wasn't hard pressed to in yesterday's en- gagement, He had the Leafs pret- ty well at his mercy and there was never much danger of the locals overcoming the lead which the YANKS NEED FIVE MORE VICTORIES 2 CLINCH PENNANT New York, Sept. 9--New York Yankees hung up their nineteénth vic- tory from the St. Louis Brown yester= day, Waite Hoyt winning a pitching duel against Sam Jones, a former team-mate, by 2'to 1. It was Hoyt's twentieth victory of the season. He yielded only thrée hits, one being Ken Williams' seventeenth four-bagger. Jones gave but four safeties. Ruth drew three bases on balls in four times up. It was Lazzeri Day at the Yankee Stadium, with 20,000 fans on hand.

On a motion proposed by A. C. Ross, Hespeler, Ont., president of the Ontario assocition, and seconded by Jun MeCona head of the British Columbia Association, it was decided that the winners of the present series new being played here between Tor- onto Westons and New Westminster Quicksands W MARTIN NOW Fred Thomson WITH SILVER KING THE WONDER HORSE IN "ARIZONA NIGHTS" COMEDY NO CHEATING would represent Canada in exhibition games at Amsterdam. In the event of the personnel of the winning team being unable to make the (rip intact, substitutions will be made by the Can- adian Amateur Lacrosse Association executive. 4 fd President A. E. H. Coo, of Winni- peg, in reviewing the work of the past year, said the present competition for the Mann Cup was an answer to cries throughout Canada that lacrosse was a dead game. He expressed the hope that as a result of the exhibition games scheduled for the Amsterdam meet next year, Canada's national game would become a permanent fixture at the Olympic games. Several changes were made in the constitution. In future no player will be eligible to play in any elimination or final Mann Cup series with other than the club with which he started the season. The appointment of offi- cials in Mann Cup games was delegat- ed to the president or any persons named by him. Auditors are to check up on gates. Secretary W. O. Graham, of Winni- peg, read an executive report in which he told of the association's activities last year.
