Although the teams battled with all their usual aggressiveness they failed to reach a decision, the game ending with the teams deadlocked 2-2, Alex Webster hurled for Chevs. in place of "Ike" Sutton and yield. ed the same amount of hits as Pontiacs good twirler following an even half dozen. Rogers was in fine form striking out nine play- ers and walking but one. All the runs were unearned, seven errors paving the way for the tallies. Morley Jacobi, one-time star or the Central Ontario baseball league played first base for Pon- tiacs and handled himself nicely. Pontiacs Lead, Pontiacs were leading 1-0 until the eighth inning when Chevs scor- ed twice to give them the lead, the Chiefs coming back in the final inning to count one and even the score. Pontiacs first run came in the initial inning when Rogers made the runways by a walk and coms pleted the circuit when H. Hall er- red on Claus's single to left. Ike Sutton who covered first base for Chevs started his team's rally in the eighth when he slap- ped a hot one through Roger's, stole second while Rowden was striking out, went to third on a wild pitch and registered on a du- plication, Gord Young came in with the other run when he was safe on Cy Elliott's error, stole second and scored on Claus's bad peg. O'Dowd fanned to end the gession, The Chiefs tied it up in the final stanza, Claus flied out to third, M. Jacobi walked, Lowe lifted to cen- tre for an easy out, Cy Elliott sin- gled through second advancing Ja- cobi and on Lovelock's single to left, H. Hall threw wild to the plate, Jacobi scoring.

Canada champion, defeated Norman Scott, Royal Mont- real, today in the first round of the Canadian amateur gold championship which opened yesterday on the course of the Summerlea Golf and Country Club, with C. Ross Somerville, Lon- don Hunt, as favorite for Donald Carricks vacant ttle, after winning the much-prized medal with a score of 145. Mountifield eliminated Scott, a veteran of American tournament golf, at the 41st hole. The match re- vealed the Western champion as a stout-hearted golfer, The match between Mountifield and Scott was the feature of the opening round of the tournament. A feature of today's matches was the manner in which the youngsters met their opponents. Mountifield took the measure of Scott; Gordon Taylor defeated Alex. Weir, a golfer with a fund of experience gathered in tournaments during the past ten years; Nicol Thompson Jr. defeated H. McD. Henry, Toronto Golf Club, while Carroll Stuart disposed of the aspirations of G. G. Murphy. When Norman Scott and William McLuckie went out, and Maurice Hodgson was defeated, none of the familiar figures from Quebec remain- ed in the field, The East is now re- presented by A. B. Darling, Watson Yuille and T. G. McAthey. Mounti- field is left from Western Canada. There are eight players from Ontario clubs remaining in the tournament, and the invasion from the United States is composed of Brodbeck, Newton, Lanman and Kaesche.

Leafs Defeated by Reading 10-7 Drop Second Game to Keys in Hitting Fray -- Leverenz Re- lieved By Songer Reading, Pa, Aug. 14. -- Reading made it two straight and cut the Leafs' lead again by ing a free- hitting contest today, 10 to 7. Walter Leverenz, Toronto southpdw, was hit hard by the Keys and after Reading had scored nine runs off him, Songer was called in. He pitched fine ball, although Quellich hit a home run, his 17th of the season. Pete Fowler ran his streak of wins to four straight over the Leafs when he hurled nicely. He had the Leafs resting in the palm of his hand until he cased up in the seventh when five Toronto runs crossed the plate. The Leafs almost got Fowler off the hill in the ninth when they loaded the bases with one out, but he rose to great heights to fan Alexander with the bases populated. Then Bedore singled to score two runs, but the rally ended when Sheedy was thrown out at the plate. Leverenz Driven Out Leverenz blew up entirely in the fifth and the Keys grouped five hits with a sacrifice and an error for five runs before Songer was called in to stem the Keystone tide. The Leafs got their first real hit off Fowler in the sixth when Sheedy singled sharply to left. One was out and after Alexander popped weakly to Hawks, Bedore walked, 'Rabbitt lacked punch and Walsh threw him out. Quellich~hit his seventeenth home run of the season in the sixth for an- other Reading tally. It was a long high fly over the left field fence. Two were out and Hawks followed with a double, but Webb made a nice play on Legett's hard hopper to end the rally. Alex. Gets His 23rd The Leafs rallied for five runs in the seventh, Alexander pounding a home run over the right field wall with two on. It was Big Boy's twenty-third of the season. Sexton walked and Phillips reached first and Sexton second on the former's field- er's choice. Songer fanned, Cote doubled off the left-field wall and Sexton scored. Webb popped to Scott, Phillips scored when Sheedy scratched a single to short, Alexan- der then hit his homer, driving in Cote and Sheedy ahead of him. Con- roy threw out Bedore to end the inning. Toronto put on a great rally in the ninth, but with two runs across, Sheedy ended the uprising with fool- ish base running. Styles, pinch hit- ting for Songer, singled to start the frame. Cote forced him at second, but Webb singled through third and Sheedy dumped a Texas leaguer into right to fill the bases. Alexander struck out. Bedore singled off right field wall, scoring Cote and Webb, but Sheedy also tried to score and was thrown out at the plate. Sheedy led the attack with three hits, Gains Battles Godfrey Tonight Colored Title at Stake Wher the Toronto Heavy Meets George Godfrey at Stadium Toronto, Aug. 15.--Whether or not Larry Gains, heavyweight champion of Canada, has any chance to win the championshjp of the world will be demonstrated to a large crowd of Toronto fans at Maple Leaf Stadium tonight, with George Godfrey of Philadelphia, colored heavyweight champion of the world, acting the role of dem- instrator. The answer to the ques- tion will be a negative one for Gains, Godfrey predicts, At any rate, Larry has beaten the best that he has been sent against here and has fairly earned a shot at one of the leading contenders for the title relinquished by Gene Tunney. Matchmaker Playfair Brown has picked on just about the toughest of these contenders, which means that if Gains can turn in a victory tonight he will be. in line for the big money commanded by the foremost heavyweights across, the line. Outweighs Gains Gorfrey will outweigh Gains by 40 pounds or more, according to the weights the boxers stated yes- terday that they expected to weigh, Godfrey weighing around 235 and Gains 195. The Philadelphia black menace will also have height over Gains, but . Toronto fight fans have yet to see anyone match Lar- ry in cleverness and speed. In his gymnasium workouts Godfrey has proven himself exceptionally fast for his size, but whether he can maintain his speed in a hard bout as Gains can remains to be seen. This is the biggest boxing attrac- tion ever attempted in Toronto, and that it is regarded as such by the public is proven by the remarkably large advance sale, Given the ex- pected last-day rush for tickets, the show will set a boxing attendance record for Canada. The following high-class prelim- inary card is offered by Matchmak- er Brown:-- Marty Gold, Philadelphia, v. Er- nie Brooks, Toronto, 6 rounds at 115 1bs. Bobby Booth, Toronto, v. Joe McCarthy, Erie, Pa., 6 rounds at 128 Ibs. Artie McCann, Toronto, v. Cliff Graham, Toronto, 6 rounds at 138 1bs. y Alex. Hart, Toronto, v. George Suber, Niagara Falls, NY. 6 rounds at 147 lbs. "oe | SPORT SNAPSHOTS Peterboro's battle with Oshawa this evening has the Central league fans all het up, chiefly due to the fact that the visitors have won their last four starts and appear headed for a winning streak not unlike Belleville. With a final chance for the league play-offs in their grasp, folks can depend upon it that the struggle will provide plenty of action with the final outcome very much in doubt. The league meeting after the game might uncover some news worth noting. Rumors that all Kingston's remaining games would be thrown out and not counted as wins for the opposing teams, would help Peterboro and Don | not Oshawa, and raise hades. South Oshawa juveniles are in Peterboro today for the. return game in the semi-finals of the O.A.B.A. and are favorites for the minor flag, having defeated the Petes here last Saturday 12-7. Reeves, the sensational local twirler who whiffed 13 in that game, will go right back into action. Textiles and A.Y.M.C. will meet again at Cowan Park tonight in the second of the Intermediate Industrial play-offs. A win for the Weavers will give them the title of the hard-fought industrial softball league and the right to meet Chevs next Friday, The sport program for this week is rather interesting. Maitland's junior. lacrosse team here tomorrow is sure to bring many fans from To- ronto for their victory over Torontos who gave Oshawa such a battle, points to a rare mingle before the decision goes either way. Chuck Davidson should count at least one goal, working his way through a junior defence being comparatively easy after the gruelling he has received piercing the senior rearguards. Many of the juniors are ripe for the major series but Oshawa's Schepley, Fox and Davidson trio displays its talent in both loops. Buster Whitten played one game with the seniors but since then has confined all his efforts to the lower league. His tricky billed on the Wednesday. this eventide? If those colored pugs column, A little action, please! lage of Howard Pringle, an Oshawa in various locations, under difficult swimming map. * am, running is the high spot of all the games, Chev, ladies are playing Belleville Beavers at the Collegiate grounds Saturday evening in an exhibition tilt and Malleables will be at Lakeview Park at the same time for an argument with either G. and W. Argyles (cheerio) or Patricias of the Toronto Sunnyside League. The Malleables management promises to bring out two or three new players for the en- gagement who have never been seen in action in Oshawa before. The Malleable-Whitby game scheduled for next Wednesday in Whitby has been changed to Monday, a benefit game between the two teams being What thinkest thou anent the Gains-Godfrey embroglio in the big city mix things up and don't stall around like most overweight people, the mill should be decidedly interesting. Gains' manager thinks Larry can "take" anyone in the world, An organizati.n meeting should be taking place very soon if the In- termediate football team we mentioned is not simply hooey to fill up the After watching this chap Thomas Nisby in action you can stake the roll he'll be in at the finish of the C.N.E. marathon swim. Under the tute boy, Nisby has come along marvel- lously. He's as strong as an ox and recently Pringle kept him in the water for eight hours--a whole day's work Pringle claims he's absolutely immune to cold water and has tested him conditions. Nisby is a conscientous worker and if consistent training will do the trick, Oshawa will be on the Johnny Walker claims Veirkotter is not as good as he was last year, that George Young is the fastest swimmer the world has ever known, and now that he, Walker, is back as his trainer, that Young will pass the German carly in the race and never be headed, He furthermore claims that the ado about George's blonde friend was not for publicity purposes and that the said blonde, which gentlemen prefer because--is now in the States in order that George will be abed before 1 So that wasn't she at the picnic Saturday, two other people. TIMES TEAM TOPPLES IN SOFTBALL STRUGGLE The ball fans of Oshawa were asked to witness the Champion Oshawa Daily Times team mop us the ball diamond with the Baptist team at Alexandra Park last night in what was billed to be a first class exhibiion qf softball, bu® which turned out to be a succes- sion of errors 'that made the champs look like a lot of axe-men from the bush league. From the moment the umpire called the game until darkness mercifully intervened, the losers piled up errors galore and fatten- ed the Baptists total score by at least ten runs, allowing them to get away with a final decision for seven innings of 17 to 14. Freddi» Kitchen, the juvenile star catcher, was sadly missed be- hind the bat and had he been playing there's no doubt but thas the Times would have turned in a win, The umpire was evidently suf- fering from tonsMitis or some oth- er affliction and most of his de- cisions seeed to be made by the players involved, There is some talk that W. G. threw away a lot of chances pur- posely, in order that the night staff could lay claim to a chance to play the champs. Not yet, my boy, we are still holding or hang- ing on the top rung (till we play the next game,anyway). The' rooters rooted gnd the raz- zers 'razzed, but all in vain, Blood wlll tell in the pinches and it be- gins to look like this champ, stuff is all the bunk and they are all second raters. We would strongly advise Cap- tain Campbell to get out the old pruning: hook and lop off a few of his wooden Indian players, and wire Newnham and Fry to get back for the next game, or fit is the cellar position for the champs without a doubt. . Looks like the big edition rob- bed the boys of the ole pep, and at times it seemed as if they were all stalling around waiting for the call for the free lunch. TOMMY ARMOUR WINS Philadelphia, Pa., Aug, 14.-- Tommy Armour, of the Congres- sional Country Club, Washingtoy, former Canadian open champion, added the Philadelphia open cham- plonship to his golfing victories to- day at North Hills. He scored 292 for the 72-hole battle. Before landing the title Armour had to stand off the persistent Leo Diegel, Canadian champion, who finished second with 295, and Dan- ny Williams, the young Shacka- maxon, N.J., pro, who took third Learnto Swim By Aileen Riggin (Olympic Diving Champion in 1920) Lesson Twenty-Two SH DIVING Diving offers many opportunities to lovers of aquatic sports, graceful exhibitions, improvement of the form and good fun, few things can equal it. Another advantage is that there are so many different types of diving that a note of great variety can be introduced. I know from experience that fancy diving will cause a throng to con- gregate quicker than anything. You must realize, thought, that there are jolts and slaps aplenty in the learning stage, Many a resound- ing whack will greet your initial at- tempts, However, we all went through the same novitiate, The prudent course is to start with the simpler dives and work up to the more complex variety. Just as in your swimming you will find practice imperative--perhaps more so. You will do well to commence by using a board not far from the water. Thus, the dive, if poorly done, will not have a painful conclusion, A simple rule for the beginner to remember is that diving is controlled chiefly by the head. For instance,.in the forward dive, the head is inclined forward. In the back dive, just the reverse is true, ° Form counts for everything. Ac- quire this in your first attempts and the rest will become much simpler, Remember, in this connection, that once you leave the board you have little time for thought, A good mot- to might be: "Learn before you leap."

AMERICAN ASSOCIATION a Yankees Lose to Chicago Athletics Lose Chance to Gain When Tigers Take a 4 to 1 Deca New York, Aug. 14--The Yankees collapsed before the fine pitching of Grady Adkins in the first game of thé Chicago s:ries here today, 5 to 2, but might have chosen a worse spot in which fo lose. The Athletics again fell Lefere Elam Vangilder and De- troit, enabling the champions to re- tain their lead of four and one-half games over the Mackmen. "Babe" Ruth wasted his forty- fourth home run, but stepped into a lead of fifteen games, nineteen days and eight homers over his old record pace, after going through seven con- tests without a circuit blow. He now needs seventeen homers in 41 games to break his record. The game was a pitching duel un- til the eighth inning between Adkins and Fred Heimach, New York left- hander from St. Paul. The home pitcher weakened in the last two rounds. BURNS, FORMER GIANT, SIGNED Williamsport, Pa., Aug. 14.--George Burns, one-time New York Giant star, who resigned as manager of the Williamsport Grays last Thursday, signed to manage the Hanover (Pa) Raiders of the Blue Ridge League.

Howard Ehmke, who start=d for the Mackmen, was wild and in- effective.
