NS 6- Falcans Beat Mike's Place In Thyilling Game, Filled With Brilliant Softball Team Puts Up Great, Battle With Strong Fal- con Team--One Big In- ning Gives Winners Most of Their Runs and 'Wink' Gummow Saves Game by Smart Playing] in Last Inning "Wink" Gummow saved a soft- ball game at the Motor City Stad- jum last night and enabled the Falcons to retain their slim lead of one-run over the never-say-die Mike's Place Juniors. The game ended 6-5. Heralded as a softball treat, the game far exceeded all ex- pectations.: About a hundred paid admissions were on hand and they witnessed one of the finest games ever played between two Oshawa teams and certainly the best of the season, to date. It was a nip- and-tuck struggle from start to finish and the winners were lucky to win, and if Mike's Place had won the game, they would have been lucky too. It was that kind of a game. Both teams deserved to win and it was , simply the breaks which decided the issue. Brilliant Finish The game closed in a style fit- ting such a battle. Mike's Place two runs down. Hall doubled and Peterson singled. The ball was fumbled and "Peterson went to third, Hall scoring. With the tying rum © third and none out, "Wink" Gummow stepped into the lime- light and simply dazzled the crowd with his work. Major, the batter, drove a nice low fly into short right field, for what look- ed like a certain hit, - Creamer didn't have a chance but Gum- mow, second baseman, {turned and speeding out into right field, with his back to the plate, caught the ball over his shoulder. Maun- drell, the next batter, flied high to Gummow again, Peterson tried to go home after the catch but Gummow made a perfect throw to the plate and Rowden tagged Peterson to end the gante. Falcons scored their runs in the second inning, when they staged a scoring bee, tallying five times, Creamer"s homer was one of the big factors in the five runs, meaning three of them, The Fal- cons won the game in this innings and saved it in the ninth, "Big oy" Whitely went the route for the losers and given almost per- fect support, outside of the sec- ond inning, he had the Falcons pretty much at his mercy, His twirling was effective and Gray and Hubbell were the only play- ers able to get more than one hit, eaclt getting two. Hall Has Perfect Night Hall, Mike's Place third base- man turned in a smart game, especially at bat, having a per- fect average for the game. Out of five trips. to the plate, he gar- nered four hits, and one walk. Knox was next best for the losers, getting two safeties. , Wills, the winning hurler, pitched a great game.

Still, the onlookers don't run the team and it's usually just as well. The Juniors put up a great game against a team which is practic- ally an Oshawa All-Star inter- mediate team.

OPEN TITLE Carnoustie, Scotland, June 5. Driving long, low drives down the fairway, and finishing them off with accurate approaching and sure putting, Joze Jurado, who came all the way . to Scotland from the Argentine, equalled the course record of 71 at Carnous- tie yesterday and tied Henry Cot- ton, youthful British profession- al, for the half-way score in the British open golf championship today. Cotton made a 72 in the first round yesterday and 75 to- day, for a total of 147; Jurado had an off day Wednesday and took a 76, but today his 71 was the best score of the tournament, And 147 is great golfing so far as this course is concerned. But the final result is by no means sure yet, even with the two tied for first place, Just one stroke behind is Tommy Armour, Canadian open champion, and Tommy has long been noted for his terrific finishing, Johnny Far- rell, who himself was in a triple tie for first place, had dropped back to fourth yesterday with a 77 and now has a total of 147. TIGERS' EIGHTH STRAIGHT LOSS Washington, D.C., June 5. The Washington Senators contin- ued to keep pace with the fast- meving Philadelphia league lead- ers by defeating Detroit 5 to 1 to make it three straight against the western invaders. Bunching hits, Washington knocked the Tigers' starting pit- cher, Tom Bridges out of the hox, to administer Detroit's eighth straight defeat. Singles by Myer, Rica, Cronin and West netted the Senators two inninz end singles by Rice, Manush and Cronin, together with an error by Walker, were good for two more in the fifth inning. Bridges gave way to Sullivan after Waeh- ington scored another in the sixth inning on an error, Crowder's single and a long fly.

Garl- baldi won in straight falls, taking the first in 19.31 and the second in 7.20, each by use of a body slam, Kasley substituted for Milo Steinborn of Germany, who, with the Afghan, Ghafoor Ghan, who was scheduled to appear in one of the preliminaries, was turned back at the border by immigra- tion officials, It was unfortunate that the fans had not been noti- fied of the substitutions prior to entering the Arena and naturally the announcements of the canges came as quite a surprise tp most of them, Steinborn, to judge bv his record, would have given Garibaldi plenty of trouble, but Kasley scarcely had the ability to be deangerous when opposed to a man of Garibaldi's type, and consequently the bout was not as exciting as had been expected. The absence of Ghafoor Ghan, from all accounts, a colorful per former, also detracted from the general interest in the program. George: Where did Sandy Mac- Dougall get the training to win all thpse long distance swims? Charlie: Well, when Sandy was a boy in Glasgow he lived across the river from school and there was a toll bridge. A man is usually logical -- and is often wrong; a woman thinks logic is fudge--and is often right. "How many more times are you going to litter up my bus with your parcels?" asked the conduc- tor as the man dumped a large package by the stairs and went inside for the tenth time that day. "Only three times more," was the reply. "There's the kitchen stool, the gas fire and the um- brella stand then we'vé moved!"

SMITH, 1930 CHAMPION, IS ELIMINATED Glendale Golf and Country Club, June 5.--Two6 previous winners of the Ontario ladies' golf championship, one the de- fending titleholder, Miss .Cecil Smith, and the other the present Toronto city champion, Mrs. E. W. Whittington, both members of the Toronto Golf Ciub, passed out of the picture in the semi- finals round yesterday afternoon, Mrs. Whittington losing to Miss Winnifred Robinson of St. Cath- arines, the Provincial junior champion, 4 and 3, and Miss Smith falling before Miss Ada Mackenzie of Toronto Ladies' Club, 4 and 2.

Miss Robinson Brilliant In both matches the winners played brilliant golf in the home- ward journey and at the same time both losers slipped badly. Mrs. Whittington, who has a rep- utation of being an exceptionally steady player, 10st her game al- most entirely, and this, com- bined with Miss Robinson's brilliant recovery, made the second nine as far as it | progressed more or Jess of | a parade. Mrs. Whittington was | two up after eight holes, Even if | she had been at her best, it is | far from certain, that she would | have won, as Miss Robinson was brilliant coming home.

Pinky Whitney, Philadelphia third-baseman, with a pair of doubles, hit safely in his eighteenth consecutive game. A young man whe had come down from one of the. universities, was sent to a "'crammer." That learned gentleman, as soon as he met his pupil, inquired: "Have you got a good knowledge of the clasgics?"' "Well," replied the young man hopefully, "pretty fair. I won on the Derby and Oaks last year, but I came a bit unstuck on the Leg. er." 'Cat swallows a Shilling." A quarter in the Kitty?
