MAJOR SOFT BALL - FITTINGS DEFEAT SAINTS Rogers' Pitching Leads Pontiacs to Victory Over Oldsmobile 9-1 Pontiac Twirler Strikes Out 18, Allowing But One Hit -- Matthews Upholds Oldsmobile By Hitting a Homer in Ninth Inning Pontiac's sensationa) twirler, Ro- gers, gave another exhibition of brilliant pitching at Alexandra Park last night when he struck out 19 Oldsmobile batters in a Major Softball league game to lead his * team to victory by a 9-1 score. He was only prevented from pitching a no hit, no run game when Mat thews, right fielder for the Ponti- acs, clouted a long hbmer to left. field in the ninth inning. Jerry Montgomery tried out sev- eral new players on his team in an effort to get a winning combina- tion, but no less than six errors were chalked up again Pontiacs and Smith's good heaving went for nought. C. Elliott, playing 3rd hase for the winners, was the chiet hitsmith, slamming out three safe- ties, with Rogers and Frink getting a brace each, The game was interesting all through the piece and .kept the crowd in a high state of excitement. The eighth inning produced three runs for Pontiacs and Olds. were unable to come through in tneir last session, although Matthew's homer was a pretty effort, It was rather unfortunate for Rogers; who was just a step from the Oshawa hall of fame. The winners showed vast improvement over their game against LaSalles last Friday, when they had five errors and lost tne game 3-2 after Rogers struck out sixteen. Smith struck out seven Pontiac Braves and displayed a slow ball that had the' opposing batters breaking their backs in an effort to ride it out of the park. Only three of the nine runs registered by Pon- tiacs were earned. The contest next Tuesday, when Pontiacs and Chevys. stage their ar- gument, should be worth going miles to see, ' Oldsmobile = Wilson, 3h, Hobbs, 1b, ...

The teams are expected to furnish plenty of excitement und a large crowd is sure to bé on hand. YANKEE SLUGGERS HIT FIVE HOMERS Chicago, June 12--A home run bar- rage, which included Babe Ruth's twenty-third and Lou Gehrig'y four- teenth and fifteenth circuit blows, en- abled the Yankees to win as they pleased from the White Sox. today. The score was 15 to 7. Earle Combs and Pat Collins also hit for the round trip. Each Yankee { homer except Combs' came with one runner on base, The victory was George Pipgras" eleventh of the season against one defeat. CRICKET NOTES The local cricket "Derby" on Saturday last, between St. George's and the Oshawa Club, ended in a victory for the latter. Oshawa bat- ted first and compiled the useful total of 82, When the church boys went in,, they found the Oshawa bowlers-- Howarth and Pickup--in good form, They played havoc with the batsmen until the last man went in, The last pair of batsmen, B. Otway and 1. Bennett, made a stand and took the score along to 37 hefore Bennett was out on a catch by Sargent. - The town team was too good for St. George's, but the church team is just a newly formed organiza- tion, possessing plenty of young tal- ent, and only needing plenty of practice to bring them along. When the teams meet again in July, the church boys will no doubt give a better account of themselves. Phil- lips and Price for the church team were the best performers; the for- mer taking four wickets for 12 runs, and the: latter three for 26, B. Otway had top score to his cred- it with 7 runs. The best bowling and batting of the match came from the Oshawa club. Howarth taking five wickets for 11 runs, and Pickup four wickets for 5 runs, bowled finely, and the first named man also contributed the top score for his side with 21 runs, being well backed up by Haning with 16 runs to his credit.

GIANTS WIN FROM REDS New York, June 12--The Giants hit hard behind Larry Benton's good pitching here today, and easily sub- dued the Cincinnati Reds in the third game of the series, 10 to 1. It was Benton's tenth victory in 12 games, all of which he completed for 2 run of 110 innings without relief. Just after increasing the Cincinnati assisted dual killing in the fifth, Hor- ace Ford snapped his run of error- less play at shortstop by making a double miscue on Hogan's grounder. In 25 straight games and half of the twenty-sixth, Ford handled 135 chan- ces without a bobble. While Benton was holding the Reds to six scattered hits, the Giants were pounding Pete Donohue and his suc- cessor, Jablonowski. Edwards quiet- ed the home team from the fifth to the finish. PIRATES 15, PHILLIES 4 ... At Philadelphia-- RHE. Pittsburg 430 223 010--15 25 1 Philadelphia .. 300 001 000-- 4 5 1 Batteries--Kremer and Smith; Mil- SPOR1 SNAPSHO1S ul The Senior Ball team was out" in force last night in prepara- tion for their important game this Saturday. Manager Walt Schultz is grooming the hurlers in an effort to get a winning pitcher that cam subdue the opposition with the consistency of "Duke" Dainty. The team is hitting well and the fielding is up to the mark but a team can not last the season on one right arm. Burgoyne and Schultz are quite confident however that the twirl- ers need only a little work and weather like yesterday for them to display their real worth, The luckless "Petes" engage Deloro in a double header at the Smelters' home town tonight and with any kind of a break should swell the win column. The Lock City players have a betters team than the present records show and tonight might change the standing considerably, Deloro already have on victory to their credit over the "Petes" and that when Jack pitched a one hit game for Smelters. The same twirler will be on the mound in one of the games this evening. Belleville will be at Kingston tonight also in an effort to ob- tain a one game advantage over the Ponies, Kingston lost the opening game to the Nationals 3-1 and then reversed the decision at home when they won 7-6, in a closely fought contest. The locals are the only team in the league idle but they will watch the results keenly. The players are divided as to which teams will have the' laugh after thé games. The Lacrosse team worked hard every minute it was on the field last night and coach Bob Stephenson switched the players around to advantage. Norm Irwin made his appearance and will most likely play Saturday on the home. He is big and fast and should be of great assistance in stopping the speedy St. Simon's fielders. If G. M. C. take a fall out of the Saints there is every reason to believe that they will lead the league all season. Here's hoping! St. Andrew's Juniors, who last year won the Oshawa and District Group to be defeated in the play-offs by McCormicks, the ultimate winners of the O.A.B.A. championship, are unfortun- ate this year in being unable to receive a grouping in a Junior series due to lack of opposition, with the result that the players will be idle most of the Summer until they meet a group winner, Last year St. Andrew's were grouped with Motors," Whitby, Bowmanville, and Orono but these teams have all disbanded or moved up. Last Saturday the Saints journeyed to the Brooklin Fair and handed Stouffville Intermediates a 6-3 trimming. Stouff- ville last year defeated Port Hope Intermediates in the 0.A.B.A. play-downs, The Parkwood Stables, owned by Mr. R., S. McLaughlin will send eight horses to the Toronto Horse Show which commences tomorrow. Five of the performers were shipped yesterday and the remaining horses will go today. Mc. McLaughlin's. collection of trophies will undoubtedly be augmentoe, Fishing enthusiasts will be out in large numbers at Alexandra Park tomorrow evening when the casting competition will he held. Both fly and plug casting will be practiséd with regulation tar- gets. The way some of the boys can handle the rods and reels is a treat to watch. Anyone who has played a sure thing during the week is warned to stay away from the vicinity, This hoy Rogers who twirls for Pontiacs in the Motors Major Softhall League is creating a sensation in local ball circles by his brilliant hurling. Last night at Alexandra Park he struck out 19 Oldsmobile batters and was only prevented from pitching a no hit ho run game when Matthews connected with one of his slants in the final inning and rode it for four bases. Last Friday Rogers struck out 16 players in a game against La Salles hut lost the con- test 3-2 due to errors. Thirty-five strike-outs in eighteen sessions a record for this city, The rest of the mound performers have a mark to shoot at, Now is the time for all good men to think up excuses for golf! Both for scores and why the office is deserted. Yesterday provided ideal weather for the Scottish game and quite a few local members tooR advantage of Old Sol's big heart. The fair- ways and greens are in wonderful condition at the Oshawfi Golf Club and work is being rushed on the new club house in order to have it completed by Saturday. The members will be delighted with its' appearance and comforts. The first tee has been changed from the entrance at the east end to directly in front of the Club house verandah, The pro's house is also well on the way to com- pletion and the club appears headed for its banner season, The Glasgow Rangers' appearance at the Maple Leaf Stadium in Toronto this evening to play Ulster United is attracting many Soccer fans and players from Oshawa. The visitors are cMedited with being the greatest team that ever left the British Isles and should provide an interesting exhibition. If the game is witnessed by 10,000 spectators the promoters will be doing well even though a crowd of that proportion does not look rather puny in compari- son with the throngs of 100,000 and over the team plays before across the pond. The Yankees had a field day at bat yesterday when they ham- mered out no less than five circuit clouts to the sorrow of the White Sox. The Babe poled out his twenty-third and Gehrig grabbed two to count his fifteenth, : ~~ ler, McGraw, Willoughby and Losain. PORT PERRY TROUNCE OSHAWA B. M. 326 The Oshawa Business Men trav- elled to Port Perry and accepted a bad drubbing at the hands of the Scugog men by 32--6, in a South Ontario Softball League fixture. The only man who held up un- der the strain was 8. Bloss, who played, a great defensive game in centre field and at third base. Every player was on his toes for Port Perry and as a result deserv- ed the victory. The six runs O.B.M. scored came from the efforts of J. Gil- lie, C. Hubbell and Dr. L. Hub- bell, who crashed out a homer each. 0.B.M. were handicapped to a certain extent because of the Port Perry using the 12 in. ball instead of the 13. - Among Oshawa'd few support- ers was Dick Branton, secretary of the league, who was so disgusted with the game that he talked foot- ball all the way home.

A a gn | Roettger and Hornshy also drove out Leats Lose 7-1 to Reading Keys Reading, Penn, June 12.--Reading handed Toronto a decisive 7 to 1 de- feat here this afternoon in the final game of the series, hammering the curves of two invading hurlers, Han- kins and Satterfield, for fifteen hits, including four doubles, three triples and two home runs, a total of thirty- one bases, Pete Fowler, the southpaw, whom the Keystones borrowed for the sea- son from the Chicago "Cubs," was in rare form and held the hard hitting leaders to six hits, of which Clarence Sheedy collected four, including a double. « Sad to relate, however, there was no one on the paths when the former Georgetown University star hit, ex- cept in the opening frame when the lone Toronto tally was registered by Joe Rabbitt, who had doubled to centre. He scored on Sheedy's sin- gle into the same garden. After that the "Leafs," although they were successful in getting run- ners as far as third base, lacked the punth. to score, Fowler fanning eight batsmen. Hankins Batted Out Don Hankins opposed Fowler on the mound at the start. Clouting the former Reading hurler consistently, the Hinchmanites chased him to the showers in the seventh, after a bar- rage of long drives had netted the Keystones four' runs and brought Claude Satterfield in to complete the game. Quellich, who emerged from a bat- ting slump on Monday when he had two home runs off Walter Leverenz, continued his batting spree today with four' hits, including a home run, and three singles in four trips to the plate. Quellich divided the batting honors with Sheedy. Quellich's three home run in two days won him a suit of clothes from a local firm. Brilliant fielding by Moore and Rabbitt robbed Alexander and Whit- man of long hits, both athletes mak- ing sensational catches against the centre field wall. RAY KEECH WINS AUTO SPEED RACE Holder of World's Record Does 100 Miles in 1 Hour 17Y, Minutes Detroit, June: 12.--Ray Keech, holder of the world's speed record, won the 100-mile special A.A.A, championship auto race here Sun- day.

Following an investigation of the accident, Coroner Dr. L. Dales stated that no inquest would be held. Widdifield,who was working on the farm of Stewart Pegs, Fourth Line, East Gwillimbury Township, was riding on a land roller, on which the shotgun was lying, when it is thought the weapon accidentally discharged. LEAGUE OF NATIONS SOCIETY ADDS THREE TO EXECUTIVE . Ottawa, June 12--Dr. H. M. Tory, Rev. Father Lamoureux and Major W. R.
