Spencer Gets Five Hits Out of Six All Right, All Together, "1 Told You So!" ei Believe it or not, but the Chosen Friends ladies' softball team stepped into the Malleables at the Motor City Stadium and handed them a licking to the tune of 21 to 17 and to the very evident delight of most of the spectators. The "Kids" certainly flashed real form last night. They took advan- tage of all breaks, most of which came their way but what is import- ant, they did not get an garly lead on flukes and then hang on but they came from behind in the sev- enth inning, with one of the nicest rallies anyone could ask for. : The Malleables outhit the win- ners by 20 to. 15 but they did not outplay them enough to win, Eure ors were about .even, 6 to 7. "The Chosen. Friends got their hits when they mattered and they capitalized on all chances. J . Some very erratic pitching in the scventh inning gave the Friends the victory... Four walks were given out in the seventh inning and one error was anade. However, the Friends scored seven runs in this frame to pull sthe game out of the fire and win the decision. Every one of the walked runners scored and that's the way to win ball games, An Improved Team The Chosen Friends ficlded a very much improved game and they carngd their victory.

Falcons Trounce Bell 31-3 Whether it was really necessary to show just how superior they were or not, is not known but the Falcons gave the Bell Telephone a disheartening beating at Cowan's Park last night when they piled up a score of 31 to 3. The Falcons are the strongest softball aggregation in the city un- doubtedly, as a team, they have had much more experience than any oth er entry and the Bell Telephone were no match for the last night. Backing Alex. Webster's superb pii- ching up with almost errorlgss ball, the Falcons simply smothered the opposition and the game was not even interesting, except as an exhi- bition of the winners' strength with the bat. . Alex Webster celebrated his first game in the 1931 season with a great victory. He hurled smart bail at all times and contributed threc valuable hits, one a homer. Scott Hubbell had a good night for the Falcons with two home runs and two doubles out of seven trips to the plate. C, Elliott had five singles. Rowden Gets Seven Hits However, "Doc" Rowdén was the boy who beat Bell Telephone him- self. He had almost a perfect night, getting seven safe wallops out of eight trips to the plate, one a dou- ble andthe first and Tast Nit§"each being circuit clouts. What a bat! He scored seven times himself. No one on the losing team got more than one hit.

Team for the City Public School Jr. Title -- Winners Show Rare 'Form and Eam Their Victory In a fast game which display- ed more real softball than any other game this season, Albert St. Juniors last night at Rotary Park, defeated Ritson Road Jun- fors in a sudden death game for the Public and Separate School Junior championship of the city. Both teams appeared in enappy new sweaters. Ritson in red, black and gold and Albert in green and white. These sweaters have been purchased by the O.P. S.A.A. and through the boys themselves and in addition to saving the boys own clothing, as- sists the onlookers in distinguish- ing the teams and leads to better playing among the players. Y For the first two innings game was tight. Both teams played fast but careful ball. In the third, Albert played spettac- ular ball while Ritson's errors lcwed Alpert to place 5 runs a ross: the pate.

He was robbed of a home run in the ninth when his drive hit a lighting wire, which prevented it from going in- to the bleachers. Frank Cook, Star Goalkeeper For Collingwood Dead Collingwood, June 10.--Frank Cook, one of the greatest and best known goalkeepers in the O.H.A., passed away at his home here yesterday. Cook had the grand record of twenty-five years' ser- vice in the O,HLA., having played on six intermediate O.H.A. cham- pionship teams, five for Colling- wood and one for Midland. He wag noted all over Canada for his marvellous ability to keep the puck out of the net, and his clean sportsmanship. Cook was born in Midland and it was in the little ship-building town where he learned his hockey. In 1909, a year after Midland won the championship, the clever net guardian moved to Collingwood, where he lived and played hockey until his death here today. It was Cooke's great goalkeeping that led Collingwood to her first championship in 1910. The same team repeated in 1913 and then agaln in 1918-19-20, A few years ago Frank hung up his goalstick, but only last winter he came out In mid-season to play town league hockey. He brought his team, the Oddfellows, from the bottom of the league to a champlonship with six straight shutouts. It was a grand climax to a great career, for only a week after the hockey season closed he was operated on for stomach trouble from which he never re- covered. All hockey fans, past and pres- ent, mourn the passing of a mas- ter workman; and the cleanest of clean sportsmen. SENATORS SWEEP SERIES Washington, D.C., June 10.-- The Senators defeated Chicago, 9 to 3, yesterday, to even the four- game series and keep their sea- son's record against the White Sox clean. Washington bunched 10 hits oft Pat Caraway and took advan tage of erratic fielding hy his teammates to score their nine runs, Meanwhile, Crowder allowed the Sox 14 hits, but kept them scattered, and tightened up with men on bases. He pitched the entire game, For the ninth time in a row this has been accom- plished by local hurlers. BEAT OM. -- TIMES AND FALC "Newsies" Show Real Form Defeating Whitby at Home In Smart Softball Battle Times Softballers Defeat Whitby Right in County Town, 15-7 -- Game Is Fast and Snappy With Plenty of Smart Softball --Strong Defensive Play And Hitting of Winners, Brings Victory Completely smothering a threat- ened rally and finishing their own batting cfforts with a five-run ad- dition to their total, the Oshawa Times' softballers handed the Whit- by South Ont. league entry a 15 to 7 setback, right in the County Town, much to the dissatisfaction of over two hundred fans who were present, last night. . Starting right in at the first in- ning the "Newsies" played lovely softball throughout the entire game. The infield played a strong game and gave the two hurlers winning support, Magill started for the winners and gets credit for the vic- tory. He held the hard hitting homesters well in check until the seventh when Whitby scored threc to make the score 9-6. Mayne, the first man up in the eighth inning, homered, cutting the Oshawa lead to two runs. Campbell replaced Ma- gill at this stage, with none out. The first two batters both reached first hase on decisions by the umpire, af- ter a great deal of argument re infield hits and how a pitcher should stand in the box. With none out and the tying runs on the paths, the next six Whitby batters were retired in order, two via the strike- out route, to end the game. Just to clinch things, the "News- ies" scored five runs in their half of the ninth, and put the game out of danger. It was a good game, featured by the strong defensive play of the Times team, Morris, at third for the winners, had a great night, making some lovely assists and get- ting three doubles and a single out of five official trips to the plate, Only one member of the winners failed to get a hit.

Scorer, Jison Stadium, Buffalo, June 10.--Unleashing a furious bat- ting attack in the first four in- nings, the Toronto Maple Leafs eventually overthrew the Bison again here last night by a score of 16 to 5 before 3,500 patrons. Old Joe Harris, Bison cast-off, gave his old mates at lot of head- aches by crucifying Bison pitch- ing for a single, double and homer on his first three trips to the plate, driving in four runs in ad- dition to one he scored on his own hook. Three hurlers vainly sought to stem the tide of To- ronto hits in this first four-in- ning barrage, while five alleged curvers saw service before the debacle ended. The unkindest cut of all was handed Johnny Wilson, who es- sayed to pitch the ninth and final round, only to have eight Baseball Results INTERNATIONAL LEAGUE 677 Newark seeeeess 30 Montreal Baltimore Rochester . seesene 27 536 631 500 474 472 373 Jersey City sese..27 Buffalo ...ee00,.26 Reading ..ee0000.19 Yesterday's Results Baltimore ..5 Jersey City ...1 Rochester 4-1 Montreal ..3-7 Toronto ...16 Buffalo Reading at Newark--Rain, Games today--Toronto at Buf falo; Montreal at Rochester (2)7 Jersey City at Baltimore; Read- ing at Newark (2).
