George's sin- gle's champion played Russ Lear- month runner-up to the Oshawa crown one set, which resulted in Russ winning by 6-2, After this match everyone retired to the large verandah where a very tasty tea was 'served, After the tea a mixed doubles tournament was played with play~ erg from both clubs being mixed to~ gether and after some very keenly fought matches, Bev. Thompson and Jim Drummond came out win. ners, St. George's have two very good prospects in Parrish brothers, We also noticed five lady players who could hold their own at The Oshawa Club, they being Mrs, Es- ther Walker, Misses Jean South- | worth, Ruth Thompson, Moira Clark and Doris Coldrick. The Oshawa Tennis Club would have liked to have invited all of St. George's but due to just four courts being available could not ac commodate any more this year, next year we hope to have six courts and then we will have you all down, Just prior to the war, tennis was gaining popularity in leaps and bounds in Canada and now that the war is over we must teach our youngsters this grand game, Next Year The Canadian Lawn Tennis Association wil] send a professional down to our club to look over our young crop and if we have any promising players they will receive free tuition, The following is the result of mixed doubles tournament; First Round Phil, Corrin and Cec, Walker def.

Getting In Shape For Opening Games Both squads of the "Red Raiders" rugby team are out practising faithfully these nights with the Intermediate having a very good turnout now that it has been an- nounced that they are definitely in a league. The management received con- firmation ay of the exhibition game with Western that was ar- ranged way back in early summer and the Intermediatesrare all look- ing forward to this game "with Johnny Metras' Mustangs. Inci- dentally it should be quite a game, with both teams using practically the same as Coach Doug Waugh is an annual member of Metras' coaching school. The Intermediate game scheduled for Oshawa on Sept. 31 with Peter- boro has been ed off and ar- rangements are under way to have the switched to Peterboro. It appears that a track and fleld meet has been scheduled for that date at Alexandra Park and sb the rugby team is out of luck, "At a recent meeting of the Parks Board, one of it's members stated that only three rugby games would (Continued on Page 2) DUCKS, AMMUNITION AND GUNS ARE ALL VERY HARD TO LOCATE BUT PLENTY OF DUCK HUNTERS Canada's duck hunters will be out, in full force this year, but. they may have trouble finding guns, am- munition -- ducks, More hunters than ever before are expected to watch the sun rise over reed-bordered decoys and toot duck calls, But a Press survey today indicated: 1, Ducks may not be as plentiful as in other years, 2, In some provinces seasons have been shortened and limits curtailed. 3. Guns and ammunition will be generally scarce, Mallards, canvas backs, teal, and black ducks will be the chief targets and while federal officials claim fewer ducks will be 'migrating north this year, most provincial game de- partment officials said they expect- ed hunters would have a satisfac- tory season. Wood ducks are protected by game laws in some provinces but in Ontario hunters are allowed a quota of one a day. Licence fees for. non-resident hunters range from $10 in Prince ds, launch | $2 Edward Island to $25.50 in Mani- toba while in most cases residents pay $1 for a licence, In Nova Scotia, however, residents do not require a licghce, In Manitoba they are charged $2.60 and in Saskatchewan Ammunition is available, but the hunt for it may be as exciting and exacting as the hunt for ducks. The man who wants to buy a new 12- bore pump-action will have to wait another year, but there is no short~ age of other types of equipment =~ decoys, calls or clothing, Quebec game officials said birds | would be plentiful and hunters would have little difficulty reaching the limit of 12 birds a day or 150 for the season, The six-week sea- son opens in various districts be- tween Sept. 1 and Sept, 21, Cox tion plans in Ontario have cut the limit from 15 to 12 birds a day during the season which is Sept. 16 to Nov, 20 in the north' and 11 days later in the south, Teal and Mallard are the most prevalent birds but the ammunition shortage will be acute, Accountants Win Honors GM League Accounting Dept, captured the 1046 championship of the General Motors Office Softball League, when they defeated Parts Distribu- tion Dept, last night at Alexandra Park by a score of 12-7, It was the third win in four games for the Accountants, the 3rd contest resulting in a 13-13 draw. In winning the 1046 GM softball crown, Accountants did it with a 6-run scoring splurge in the 4th inning that broke up a 3-3 dead- lock and decided the issues right then and there, making the score 9-3. Lander again hurled steady ball for the Accountants, He fanned only a couple but he also only gave up three walks and while he was cked steadily each frame, for a total of 18 hits in the entire game, he was the best in tight spots and that settled the issue, Took Early Lead Accountants opened with one run in the first inning when Conlin drew a walk as Johnston got off to a shaky start, He was the first of three hurlers used by the Parts Dept, team as they, tried vainly to halt 'their rivals and extend the fina] series. The next two batters went out af- ter Conlin got his free ticket but Jim Timmins doubled to score Con- iin With. the opening run, In the 3rd, Parts tied it up when Drew singled and so did Johnson, then a couple of outfield flies let Drew get home, Accountants came right back in their half of the 3rd to score two more runs and make the score 3-1, Jenkins singled and so did Paget and Timmins in success- ion, then a walk to Brockman set the stage for more but only Jenkins and Paget got home, Parts clipped four hits for a cou- ple of runs in the 4th, Kellar start ed the frame with a single and Ley- den did the same. Crothers drew a walk, then Luke singled. A fielder's cholce let Kellar and Leyden score to make it 3-3, But that was the Parts Dept. error, They should have waited a little longer, Accountants came roaring back to stage a 6-run parade in thelr half of the 4th and that put the game on ice. Johnson started the trouble hime self when he walked Sereda and Lander and Conlin, all in succession, to fill the bases. Neal then took over the pitching duties and Jen- kins tripled and Page walked. Time« mins popped out but Brockman hit a homer and that completed the 6- run splash, Still Another Hurler Neal stayed until the 6th when Accountants ran wild again at the plate and this time, Neal went off the mound to be replaced by Brady, 3rd pitcher of the game. Paget, Timmins and Brockman all singled in succession as the 6th inning got under way, then Daniels walked and a couple of flelder's choice plays let the first three men- tioned score, making it 12-6. After that there wasn't much to it but the damage had been done. Parts had scored three runs in thelr half of the 6th on one hit and a flock of errors. With two out, Drew was safe on an outfield bobble, then Brady drew a walk, Neal was safe on an error by Timmins who then repeated for Baker and Gum- mow then got a hit, the first of the inning, to score the 3rd run and leave two on 'bases as Kellar grounded out. . The losers got their other run in the 9th when Kellar walked but was forced by Leyden, Crothers popped out but a passed ball and a single by Luke scored Leyden, to oe the counters for the game at "Casey" Luke with two hits, was hig team's best at the plate. 'Most VV JG Ooudty Checked!

Motors exceptionally fine quality; but we believe you will understand that we and General Motors are as eager to deliver cars as purchasers are to obtain them. Unfortunately, the cars roduced so far this year are far fewer than we and the factory had counted on. General Motors headquarters at Oshawa sums up the situation thus: "Even though our rate of production normally exceeds that of anyother manufacturer, we have been able to build, up to August 1, only a small percentage of the number of cars we built up to that date in 1941. Our own produce tion, like that of the industry in general, is still far below normal, because of frequent shortages of essential materials and parts. Strike after strike at the plants of our suppliers has seriou impeded our progress toward full production, and the cumulative effect severely hampers both manufacturing and assembly." While production is restricted, so -- In proportion -- are shipments of cars to us. As production increases, we - are assured of total number 3 etting our proportionate share of the cars from the factory. But we want you'to know that as quickly as these cars are received, we will speed deliveries to our customers.
