They wallop- ed the Bathe Park Bantams by the score of 12-4 at Bathe Park. Walker pitched six-hit ball for the winners, and was in serious trouble in only one inning, the eighth, when he allowed two saYe- ties and a walk to score two of the runs against him. He claimed six strikeout victims, not a bad total at all, seeing that his mound adversary, Romanuk, was unable to set down more than one man in this fashion. Romanuk had his worst inning in the third, when the Eastview squad hopped on him for eight rups, enough to win the game right then. This was the first scoring in the game, and the rally was highlight- ed by a heme run blast by White, with the bases well ftenanted. One of the other runs scored against Walker came in the last of the sixth, when pitcher Romanuk teed-off with a homer of his own. The only other extra-base blow al- lowed by Walker, was a triple to Hruska in the last of the ninth. This didn't amount to anything, when the next three batters were made easy outs to end the game. Involved in National League Manager Changes = BEN CHAPMAN In perhaps the most amazing managerial shake-up the major leagues have ever known, the following developments cracked down-on a be- wildered baseball world: Leo E.

Ott, perennial Boy Wonder of the Giants, resigned his post | bush Flock once more. ' LEO DUROCHER BURT SHOTTON as skipper, to remain, however, in the organization in some as yet un- determined capacity for at least the duration of his contract which still has through 1950 to run.

Bantam game last night, the Red Sox found the going plenty tough and lost to 28-15.

The Sox didn't start connecting for their runs till the last of the fourth, and then it was with a ven- geance, as they tried to get back into the fight.

By JOSEPH LISTER RUTLEDGE Years ago the name of Walter Camp represented the ultimate in the world of sport. Once it was put to him, "What is the outstand- ing quality of a great athlete?" A lot of bystanders hazarded guesses. It was strength, It was skill. It was adaptability. It was the quick sensing of opportunity. It was the willingness to share with others; the team spirit. Walter Camp shook his head. "They are all im- portant, but you were asking for the most important. You said: 'the outstanding quality'. Well I'll name it for you. It's a fighting heart." You don't have to be a big man. You don't even have to be very brainy. But you are hard to beat, when you don't know when you are licked. No one could have doubted, for instance, that the British Army retreating to Dunkirk was a beaten army. Their flanks driven in, their rear an open and unprotected beach, their armour decimated, their supply cut off. History has a | thousand instances where armies, | less precariously 'placed, have sur- | rendered unconditionally. No one, | even in England, dreamed that you | could rescue 400,000 men from such a pass. But most of them did es- cape, It was a triumph, not of | arms in which they were pitifully | outnumbered, but of a spirit that did not know the meaning of de- . feat.

Tests Advance To Semi-Rounds Ottawa, July 22 -- (CP) -- Top- notchers tangled at the Rideau Club today in matches that will tell the story of Ontario's 1948 tennis cham- pionships. Wednesday's play moved almost all contestants into the semi or quarter-final brackets, The toughest match turned up unexpectedly when Pat Lowe, Ottawa's junior star, teaméd with Nancy Webb of To- ronto to extend the Montreal team of Pat Macken and Pauline Le- querre to a 10-8, 5-7, 6-3 set. In a first round match in the | junior men's doubles, Don Ross and John Coles of Woodstock defeated Don Fontana and Rick Arnold of Toronto, 6-0, 6-4. In the senior men's doubles the Kingston team of Ted Smythe and | John Johnson advanced to the | quarter finals before bowing out. | In that round they were beaten by | Lucien Lecomte and Dick Cherry | of Ottawa, 6-3, 6-4. Earlier in the day Smythe and Johnson scored | a 6-4, 9-7 win over Gill Jolicoeur | and Johnny Blackburn of Ottawa in | a escond round match, In the junior mixed doubles, the Kingston team of Marian MacLach- lan and Don Hooper were elimin- ated by Diana Lowe and Johnny Clouthier of Ottawa in a quarter- final match.
