Skating Allowed At a meeting of the Oshawa purlers held last night it was de. elded that due to the absence of so many citizens from the city on their holidays that the time for veceiving subscriptions for the new eurling and skating rink would be. extended until Thursday, the 30th of August. On that date a meeting of all shareholders will take place and a final report presented by the special subscription committee. Tenders for the installation of the artificial ice plant will also receive final consideration at the meeting. Whe placing of the contract will depend upon the response the can- wass of the ¢ity meets. While the bonds for Curlers Ltd, fs considered a good, safe invest- ment, it is believed that not only shareholders in the company but all public-spirited citizens of Osha- wa should assist in the completion of the work, for it is the intention of the curlers fo permit public skating in the rink, As there is no other rink available in Oshawa at the present time unless the sport-loving public gets hehind the project the young people of this city are in for a long hard winter. Oshawa. residents should re- member that towns, hardly half the size of this city, are posses- sors of fine artificial ice rinks and Oshawa with its wonderful laca- tion and prominence in the prov- ince would indeed he of village proportions if the citizens failed to lend their aid to such a wor- hy cause. akesides Win First of Finals Last Scheduled Game of Season Halted By Weather Last l Night ' Toronto, Aug, 26.--Coming from behind, Lakeside ladies, champions of the National League downed Parkside "Millionaires" 8 to § in the first of the girls' softall city series, As the score indicates it was a thriller for Sunnyside fans, and Grace Child herself obviously contribu- fed to the downfall of Parksides by walking eight batters. Park- ides had the score 5-0 when the Walters-Page troupe started, and, mixing in free tickets and a coup- le of blows, they manufactured four runs in the sixth. In the seventh Doris Butwell singled to ghort centre, the ball going through Billie Gilding, while Miss Butwell scored the tieing run.

'While nicked for nine hits by Sar- nia, Fidler was unbeatable with men on bases, and his exhibition today stamped him as one of the most promising pitching pros- pects uncovered in this neck of the woods for some years. Strathroy found the slow curve of Moorehouse much to their liking and had the roly-poly southpaw constantly ducking the bullet-like curves they shot back through the box. i Sarnia scored their first and only run in the fourth en Norris single over short and Peryy's ter- rific helt for three bases to deep right centre. Strathroy got two in the fifth on singles by Fidler and C. Swales, errors by Garvin and Moses, and O'Neil's poke past second for a base. Their third run came in the sixth when Brady singled to centre, with two out, to tally Wilke. Strathroy starred in the field with Borchert's work at first out- standing. Wilkie made a great catch in the ninth, to roh Moore- house of a triple, and to end the game. Sarnia had the tying run- ners on third and second at the time. FUNERAL HELD OF HERBERT WOLFF Friends of Herh Wolff, popular outfielder on the Oshawa senior ball team, whose death occurred Thursday night, will be sorry to learn that owing to the mature of the disease, so far not defined, which caused his death, though to be contagious due to its deadly ac- tion and the illness of Mrs. Wolff, senior, the funeral was held to St Peter's cemetery in Peterboro yesterday morning. Many Oshawa friends of the de- ceased young man and especially the hall team, had planned to go to Peterboro for the funeral. His brother Cecil speaking to The Times today said that he visited Herb on Wednesday -- the day Oshawa played in Belleville, Herb, although deathly ill, got out of hed and was half-dressed, de- termined to make the trip and help out his team. He suddenly collapsed and although on the verge of unconsciousness murmur- ed: "Well T guess they'll have to do without me, I can't make it!" Herb took his athletics seriously, he never lay down on the job, bot- tled every inch of the game until the last man was out and then was quick to congratulate the victor if his team lost. He was the hest-kown player in the Central League having played for Peterhoro before coming here. His death leaves a gap that will he difficult to fill and every sport fan and player joins in sympa- thizing with his bereaved relatives. He leaves his wife and three little children in Toronto, his par- ents, Mr. and Mrs. A, J. Wolff of 452 Donegal St., Peterhoro. and six brothers and two sisters, Learn to Swim By Aileen Riggin (Olympic Diving Champion in 1020) LIFE BAVING In this section on the priceless work of life-saving I con only dis- cuss the fundamentals. A com- plete course of instruction can be obtained from any life-saving corps. But for those who have not time I shall give enough instrue- tion to make your fairly proficient when the need arises. To begin with: Haste is ruinous. While appreciating the fact that every moment counts, careful fore- thought will produce far better re- sults than unthinking rushing. If yon are fully dressed take an instant to disrobe, short time you will lose is made up by the increased ef- ficiency. Furthermore, it is a good idea to employ the time ied: a ing to size up situation. See if there is amybody mear on whom you can count for assistance. Decide the best place to land and ascertain in what direc- tion the tide or current is running. Above all, don't lose sight of the place where the drowning person is strug- gling for the spot where last seen. The theory of drowning people rising three times before the fin- al immersion is ridiculous. They may rise once or six times. Con- centrate on the saving process, not on silly superstitions.

Weston, New York, Aug. 24.--The lead of the world champion Yankees was reduced to three games here today when the New York defend- ers found their citadel sacked twice in the same afternoon by the St. Louis Browns, 5 to 2 and 3 to 1, as the Athletics nipped the Cleve- land Indians by 1 to 0. The Yankees were unable to hit Alvin Crowder in the opener and were even more helpless azainst George Blaeholder in the second game, The former Tulsa star had the champions shut out until the ninth when Tony Lazzeri collected his tenth home run. Bill Dickey followed with a tri- ple, but Huggins permitted Hei- mach to bat for himself and rolled 'to Blaeholder for the final out. Wally Schang started the scoring in the third with a homer, and hits were bunched for a total of four more in the sixth and the seventh. Pipgras fanned nine, but had to have Wiley Moore finish.the game. Reading Downs Montreal 17-3 Six Homers Clouted in Hitting Fray at Montreal Montreal, Que., Aug. 24.--The Reading Keystones staged a real Wrigley Marathon here this after- noon at the expense of the Montre- al Royals, and when they got through circling the hases, the bases, the score was 17 to 8, The Keys ran wild on the paths in the first two innings, scoring ten runs and then tallied pretty much as they pleased after that. From the time that Walsh hit the first hall pitched for a home run, the game was a slaughter of per- forming moundemen, Hubbell, with a ten-run lead, lasted the route, although clouted unmereifully by the Royals, but Miller, local starting pitcher, was taken after three runs had heen scored in the first with mone out. Dunagan finished the game, pitch- ing the entire nine innings. Six home runs were hit in the flock of extra hase hlows collected by both parties, Pitcher Duna- gan, whose batting average is in the neighhorhood of .150, hit a home run off Hubbell with none on. Dunagan, however, ran true to form in his other three trips and did the usual strike-out, Conroy, with six runs batted in, led the assault on the local piteh- ing pair.

Olympic games, The sudden death of Herb Wolff has cast a gloom over sporting circles in Oshawa. Herb was a real fellow, an all-round athlete and a fighter for his team every minute he was in the game. His failure to appear for the game in Belleville Wednesday was thought to be due to missing train connections and the management kept the wires hot to Toronto trying to locate him. His value to the team is shown by the fact that his teammates kept up a constant query as to The final averages released yesterday for the league, show that Herb was fourth in hitting for the regulars, with the excellent mark of .357, tied with his outfield buddy, Nipper Jones. He was second in runs scored with 23, for 17 games and was also second in home runs with three to his credit, That Herb will be sadly missed goes without saying. He generally batted in the clean-up position and seldom failed to come through. Everyone connected with sport extends his sympathy to the bereaved The weather played havoc with the softball games scheduled for last night but they will be played the first of next week. The leagues are rushed for time in order to keep the time-limit set by the O.A.S.A. St. Andrews juniors and South Oshawa juveniles should keep this city prominent in Toronto sporting circles, The two playground teams Eliza. beth juveniles and juniors have a difficult afternoon's work ahead of them trying to register a win from the logal talent. St. Andrews will go into the struggle favorites for the decision having already nosed out the Toronto juniors 5--4. The game was a battle all the way, however, and the eleven innings it took to decide the winner shows how little difference there is between the teams. every confidence in Chick O'Neil and the ex-McCormick satellite who was considered the best junior hurler in Toronto should justify the conviction. St. Andrews have The senior lacrosse game this afternoon will be a rare tangle although rumour has it that one or two of the St. Simon regulars will be missing. The Saints always have plenty of fight and are sure to make it a battle. The juveniles who will mix things up before the major battle always Tecumsehs and Shamrocks are exceptionally well-mat- ched and there is hardly a micrometer of difference. now the same players, with more ability of course, will be the main at- traction while the little brothers will perform in the preliminary. A few years from Only next year there will he more than two juvenile teams with the result that the senior teams of the future will have more players to choose Finally, boys and girls, Canada will turn out a lacrosse team that can take the States representatives at the At that there would be a different story if three of the Westminster Salmon Bellies' players had not admitted to the wide world that they played the game half for fun and half for lucre with the result that they were not allowed to compete with the Simon Pures in league games. The moral is of course--always count one hundred or more if you have time, before you place your John Henry upon the dotted line. Dunn's Men, Idle at Roch: ester -- Leverenz Retires in 6th, Replaced By Doyle --Leafs Stage Late Rally Toronto Aug. 25. -- Today the Baltimore Orioles are on top of the International League Ladder, one point ahead of the rapidly retreat- ing Leafs, said retreat being more responsible for the rise of the Dunmen than any extraordinary prowess shown by the present pace- setters. Yesterday at Maple Leaf Sadium Bill O'Hara's men dropped an 8 to 7 decision to Newark--this heing the thirteenth time in the last'sixteen starts that the locals have finished second. They tied one game and won two others. With a record such as that it is littl wonder that they have finally heen deposed, the sur- prising part of it heing that they maintained the lead as long as they did. When the Bears came to town after losing nine games in a row it was suspected that the Leafs would help them add another re- verse or two to that string and thus take away from Toronto the doubtful honor of dropping the most games in succession this ses- son. But O'Hara's men were rather inconsiderate to the hun- dred or so fans who attended and also to thelr own permanent chances. They declined to win this game or at least it looked that way. They had chances gal- ore to break it up but these went aglimmering. Newark Celebrates Victory Following this unsatisfactory baseball bout the Bears led by; Johnny Conlan, held a celebration under the grand stand, cheering wildly because of the victory. To- ronto players and fans strolling past looked on in amazement. That any one should imagine that it is a difficult feat to vanquish: the Leafs these days and that such a performance merits a celebraion is beyond the understanding of those who know anything about | the national pastime. Leafs Attempt Rally Carroll's double, Uzmann's sac- rifice and Goldsmith's single gave the Bruins their final run in the eighth, and then the Leafs got busy and almost pulled the game , from the fire. Shinners and Be- dore got om by hitting rather Scratchy singles to the infield. Satterfield struck out and Styles walked, loading the runway. Doyle was allowed to bat through gxtreme courtesy on the part of someone and fouled to Uzmann. But Cote hit a three-bagger into left field, same being badly played by Carroll, and Toronto were only one rum fin arrears. Manager 0O'Hara claimed that, the ball hav- ing gone out of sight, Cote was en- titled to a homer but the arbiters layghed this off. Burke brought this final bid for victory to a close when he flied to Carroll, h, the latter making ® good catch, , be a ls An OR Leafs Lose to Newark ~ First Place to Orioles To L One Point Margin for ohn' In the ninth Sheedy walked, and advanced on Alexander's sac- rifice fly, but Shinners and Bedore left him stranded there.

It is neither impossible nor a dream. This colossal task is possible, though to carry it out a great deal of time and money would be needed.

Traders large and small registered their enthusiasm by bidding up almost 'the entire stock list. The gains in the most active {issues ranged from 2 to 16 points. It was the broadest advance that has taken place since the collap early in June of the last big b movement. The total turnover, amounting to 3,838,110 shares, was the largest since the 5,052,790 share volume in the break of June 12 that definitely ended the spring advance on the Stock Exchange, Today's market literally boileq from the opening until the eclor With the broker's loan surprise the afternoon before as an induce- ment traders all over the country shot buying orders in to Wall Street for execution at the open- ing. The result was that the gens eral market opened several points above the closing level of the day before. Four of the favorite trad- ing vehicles, United States Steel, Chrysler, Armour 'A" and Nation al Cash Register made a sensas tional debut at the opening, init- ial transactions in each being 10,- 000 shares. A number of §,000- share trades made their appear- ance at about the same time. All of this had the effect of touching off a demonstration the like of which has not heen witness- ed%n some months: For the first time this summer there was utter confusion on the floor of the ex- change. So rapidly did the order: pour in that by 10.30 o'clock, or 30 minutes after the opening the ticker was running 11 minutes be- hind, something htat has not hap- pened since the hig advance was halted in June. The system of ah- breviated quotations for which the exchange has had little use in the apathetic markets of late, was re- sorted to in an effort to bring the ticker abreast of the market. Customers' rooms of brokers' houses were filled at the opening and remained so most of the day.

Several barrels a day of dog fish oil are being used in the manufacture of the preparation. A Pacific Coast mariner whose mame is well known throughout the country has announced his inten- tion to retire from active service. Captain James D. Troup, veteran of 55 years of continuous service on Pacific coastal waters, 36 years of which he spent in British Colum- bia, has relinquished his position of manager of the British Colum- bia coast steamship service of the Canadian Pacific Railway. His place has been taken by Captain C. D. Neroutsos, formerly assistant manager. Golf in the heart of the Canadian rockies is becoming so popular that a miniature course has been opened at Castle Mountain Bungalow Camp in Vermillion Pass on the Banff Windermere Highway. This new course is probably the highest, smallest and most effectively sit- uated of any golf links in the Brit- ish Empire. The ingenious lay out of the course is the handiwork of Stanley Thompson, internationally known golf architect, who also de- signed the recently enlarged links at Banff, Another recruit has joined the ranks of the famous Contented Cows at the Carnation Milk Farms at Seattle, Washington, the Canadian Pacific Railway supply farm at Strathmore having sold one of their prize heifers to the Carnation Milk company, The animal, bred at the C.

So notorious a reputation has the fisherman won for himself as a prevaricator that he must needs enter his fish in competitions with a duly signed and witnessed affi- davit.
