MAYFAIR LANES TIGHTEN INTER. "A" WITH VICTORY OVER LEGION Legionnaires Get More Hits But Mayfair Lanes More Runs In Free-Swinging Inter. Game &-- Lg Each Team Uses Two Pitch- ers In Long - Winded Game--Plenty of Hits, Walks and Errors Results In Big Scoring Rallies-- Victory Puts Mayfairs Within Reach of 2nd Place In Standing -- Greene and Barker Pace Winners' Attack The Legionnaires lost another up- set decision 12-10 to Mayfair Lanes on Thur:day night at Alexandra Park, The Legion again seemed to have no pep and lost the game through careless errors and hits which could easily have been called errors, through bad fielding. "Al" McKee pitched a nice game for Mayfairs but got tired after seven complete innings and Doug. Keeler replaced him. It was little wonder the pit- cher tired for it was a very long game and only missed by a shade being called on account of dark- ness. Legion Started Well Legion started off the wild scor- ing game with Barnes getting a walk. He went to second on Wil liams' ground out. Then Davies hit to right field where a fumble was committed allowing Barnes to score and Davies to go to second. McMullen struck-out, but Mayne hit a rousing double sending Davies scooting across the plate. Wilson then popped out to left field end- ing the top of the first inning, Mayfairs replied to these two runs in the last of the third in- ning, when with one out Greene hit a line drive single out to centre fleld. Barker then slashed out a Jong home run, bringing in two runs and tying the game. Walker blazed one at the pitcher who toss- ed him out at first for the last put-out of the frame, In the first of the fifth Woods singled and went to second when Barnes gained first on an error to the catcher. Williams then lived up to his namesake of the Bosox by pmacking out a double and scoring two runs. Davies singled, but the next three men went down in order, leaving two men on base. Big Rally For Mayfairs McKee led-off for the 'Mayfairs team getting to second on a hit and an error to the first baseman, Mc- Kee went to third on a passed ball and was sent home on an errored fly by Turner to the. shortstop. Greene the big hitter of the night stepped to the plate and belted a line-drive homer bringing in Turn- er. Keeler was safe on a fumble to the second basemen. 'Barker ». pushed him to third on another er- ored catch this time in centre field. eeler was nipped at the plate on a fielder's choice hit by Walker. - Batten bunted safely and brought in Barker who was then on third. McLaughlin's bunt was not. safe but it drove in another run. A single was stretched into a double by Kewin scoring Batten. McKee finally fouled out to the catcher to end the fifth inning. Legion got another run in the sixth when Weathrup walked and was sacrificed to second by Nor- myle. Weatherup stole third and came home on a passed ball by the Mayfairs' hurler. Woods was out on strikes, and Barnes walked, Wil- liams ended this half of the sixth by striking out. x The Mayfair Lanes teany collec four runs in the last of the sixth off a single, a double and three walks and in this frame, Mayne took over the pitching duties from Al. Woods, with one out and two on bases, Mayne, Wilson and Weatherup crossed the plate for the Legionnaires in the seventh tallying three runs. Couple of Double Plays With none out in the last of the seventh and Turner on first, Greene slapped one right at the pitcher who knocked it into the air where the third baseman deftly caught it and made the throw and put-out at second. Keeler then hit a fast grounder to third where that man picked up the ball tossed to first, put out one man and the first baseman threw to second where Greene had overun the bag and was 18808 out for a very quick double play. Williams and Davies came in on McMullen's hit to add two runs to the Legion's total making the score read 12-10. Another double play was completed by the Legion team in the last of the eighth at May- fairs expense. ' McLaughlin popped out to second base ending that inning. That was the way the game end- ed, for in the top of the ninth, Normoyle got to third but was left stranded when the next three men were out, two by strikeouts, as Keeler bore down. Greene and Barker had the best batting averages for the winners, while Normoyle's "two-for-three" was the only. high average for the Legion. Greene had 3 hits, one a homer while Barker had a home run, two walks and a single. =~ R.H.

DeMille on the mound for Fit- tings was in great form and he was very stingy with hits and runs, A homer by Welsh gave Arenas one run in the 3rd inning. In the 6th, they added two more, Jenkins and Goulding crossing the plate on hits by Hopps and McGillis. They didn't score again, although they had men on 3rd in the 7th, 8th and 9th in- nings. Fittings got one in the second when Locke walked and scored on an infield putout and a passed ball. In the 3rd, Ford came home on his hit, followed by DeMille's single and an outfield fly by Arnold. Two runs scored in the fourth, Chopik and Ford on infield outs and a hit by Arnold. The score was 4-2 and it was any- body's game until the 8th when Fittings opened up with a rally that netted two runs, Dervent, Keeler, Brooks and Chopik all helping out. In the 9th, the Fittings cinched it with a 6-run splurge, as Massey wilted badly. Keeler, Chopik, Ford all were good at the plate for the winners with Jenkins, Goulding and Welsh best for the Arenas.

Umpire, Claus, 3-RUN RALLY IN 7th INNING WINS TILT FOR THISTLES A 3-run rally in the last (7th) inning gave Halliday's Thistles an 11-10 victory over O.Y.M.C. "Beav- ers" at Sunnyside Park on Thurs- day night, Beavers opened with a 3-run rally in the first inning when Mec- Ghee walked, Henry singled, Mc- Diarmid, Smegal, Guscott and Rut- ter all helped out to score the first three mentioned. After that, Mec- Laughlin held them in check nicely, aided by good support from his mates, until the 4th innings. In that inning, McLaughlin didn't have a thing and Beavers slapped out six hits, which added to two walks, gave them a total of seven runs and made the score 10-8 at the: time. A double by McDiarmid and singles by Henry, Snowden, Smegal, Guscott were the blows that produced the rally, plus walks to Rutter and Jackacki. It was Guscott that started it off and Henry, Snowden and McDiarmid kept it going after both Burrows and Siblock had struck out. Thistles got four runs in the second inning when Thursby open- ed with a two-bagger, McLaughlin singled, Hurst flied out, Day singled, Wilson drew a walk and so did Baldwin then Johns singled. Hayward popped out but O'Connor singled to keep it rolling for 4 runs, In the 3rd, a walk to McLaughlin and a single by Day, followed by one by Wilson added two more runs. O'Connor tripled in the 4th with one out, Thursby and Mec- Jugal po Angled and an out- e y allowe ur: to 'score, making {t 10-8. hy The Fic stayed at this as Sib- lock tighfened up after he had taken over pitching duties from Mc- Ghee. But in the 7th, he weakened and Thistles were on the alert to win the game. Hurst walked but was forced by Day. Hall drew a Beaton's Dairy Juveniles Beat "Cokes 11:3 Beaton's Dairy: came through with an 11-3 verdict over Coca-Co- las in a game which had all the fans thinking it was going to be another high scoring atfair Thurs- day night at Alexandra Park. Thete O.M.B.A, games are start- ing to become something to see as the boys are coming back from their camps and the baseball is of an improved calibre, "Cokes" made a good showing but were not strong enough in the batting department and so lost out. The Coca-Cola hur- ler Gavas who relieved Simpson in the Fifth was very successful for he struck out every man to meet him in the sixth and seventh in- ning, and two of those to face him in the fifth, ' Giford.led off for the Dairy boys with a clean single to left field. He gained second on a wild pitch and was belted home on Turnbull's hit to centre field. Souch struck-out and Wallace bagged a base on balls. Powers was the second out and he went down on strikes also. McGrath went to the initial sack on an er- ror to the third baseman bringing in two runs. Locke walked, but Sal- mon went down swinging to end the inning. Coke's got these runs back in the last of the third when Gavas and Wilson 'led off with two consecutive home runs to centre field. Canning singled, Keeler went down swing- ing and Bradley hit into what should have been a force-out but wasn't due to an error by the first baseman, Canning who was now on third with a stolen base to his credit came home on this play. Simpson grounded out pitcher to first and Kennedy struck-out end- ing play in that inning. With one out in the fourth and Taylor on first on a walk, Gifford singled to left field placing Taylor on third. Turnbull walked to load the bases and then Souch struck- out, Wallace finally clipped the hit the runners were waiting for and it brought in two runs. Powers went to second "on a two-base error which brought home two more runs. McGrath singled to bring him home and McGrath was in turn brought home after two stolen bases were given up to him, Salmon hit a dour ble and so another run came in. Taylor walked but Gifford went down second to first on his second at-bat in the inning to end the seven-run frame for the "Milkmen." Beaton's scored again in the fifth just to make sure of their win and that was the last run to cross the plate in the game. Although Cokes tried hard to make this statement false in the last of the seventh when with one out they got a man on second, the die was cast, for he was nipped on an attempted sto- len base and the next man was put out on a high pop fly to the third baseman, Gavas and Wilson were the best men in the batter's box for the Cokes while: Souch and" Gifford were the better m=n as far as of- ficial records go, for Beaton's Dai- Ty.

At a meeting held this week, of the four Juvenile softball clubs, Au- brey Crouter, 305 Buena Vista Ave. on behalf of the District Deputy of the Knights of Pythias, offered the O.C. & D.A. a trophy. for annual competition in the Juvenile League and the offer was accepted. The Knights of Pythias Trophy will be awarded this 1946 season to the champions of the Juvenile Softball League, An investigation into - the age proofs of the Juveniles revealed that Reg. Welsh of the Beaver Ju- venile Club, had signed a certificate knowing himself to be too old for | Juvenile rating. The Executive pla- Iced the player under = suspension | until July 1st, 1946 and in doing so, | issued stern warning to all age- [limit players that the rules must | be strictly obeysd and that any vie | olation will be given stern treat- { ment, Mgr. Joe Mitchell of the Beaver Club was exonerated of any blame in connection with the signing of the over-age player, on the evi- dence brought forward. The other Juvenile teams showed sportsmanship and tolerance when they voted that the three games won by Beavers, while Welsh was a playing member of that team, should be allowed to stand. In preparation for the playoffs, which will get under way likely next week, the Juvenile representa- tives authorized the Executive to appoint umpires for plate and bases, for all playoff ames, at a fee of $1.00 (plate) and .75¢c (bases) and the "home team" will be re- sponsible for paying the officials, but in a 3rd game of any series, the SRpenes will be shared by the two clubs, London--(CP)--Jasmine Bligh, 33-year-old television announcer with an "ice-cool" voice, resigned two weeks after the BBC resumed television broadcasts because the work was "too strenuous."

This is one of a series of tllustrations on the sub- ject of the Conservation of Canada's natural assets designed to em- phasise the fact that the beauties of unspoiled nature that we enjoy today are a precious birthright which we must protect for tomorrow. 1 COPYRIGHT BY CARLING'S, 13 Where Good Neighbours Meet Texas, Idaho, California, Maine . . . think of any State you wish and you're sure to see its name on the license plate of a car somewhere in Canada during the summer. unerring directness Each year, with the of migratory water- fowl, millions of American tourists come north to Canada. They come because Canada offers them Nature--unspoiled and unblemished. They come to revel in those joys of the outdoors which we Canadians are prone to take too much for granted. In their travels and during their stay here the money they spend forms the basis of a $150,000,000 industry, bringing an added measure of prosperity to all of us. Like any asset, the tourist industry must be protected. This we can do most surely and easily by protecting and conserving the heritage of natural beauty and wildlife for our~own enjoyment as well as theirs. Every Canadian, as a shareholder in Canada's natural wealth, has a vital interest in the heritage. conservation of this Conservation is not just a doctrine to be Y preached to hunters and fishermen. Itis a vital part .in the continuance of our national economy, and must, of neces- sity, fail if its measures do not receive the full support of all Canadian citizens.
