Toronto in One of Best Games Played Here in Some | | Including July 16, follow: ~+ Time -- Smart Fielding By Both Teams -- Only Four Hits During the Entire Game -- Twilight Game Here © Wednesday With Goodyears Crashing out a double in Oshawa" half of the ninth innings, "Matty" Matthews chased a jinx that has ben following him for several weeks and cane through with the hit that gave Oshawa Motors a 2 to | victory over New Toionto in the best game of the season to be seen at Alexandra Park. From start to finish it was a pitcher's baitle and Matthews' hit on Saturday to deep left field came as a crowning event to a real exhibition of baseball. That there were only four hits in all credited to both teams in itself tells the story of a smart game and bi is also a remarkable fact that 20 batters struck out, eleven of them being the victims of Dainty's shoots and the re- maining nine being the Oshawa bat- ters who were unable to see the smoke and hooks that were served up hy Herod (pronounced like Heard) for the Torontonians. To add to the pit- cher's battle, there were only four walks issued, all of them being due to Herod's slight wildness, In ten half innings, the teams were retired in or- der, and in two, the side was retired by three strike outs, Dainty doing the feat in the sixth and Herod duplicat- ing in the seventh. Besides the pitcher's duel, the game was studded with some of the smart- est fielding that has been seen at Al exandra Park for many a day, and in this Oshawa took by far the largest hand. Reg. Fair was head and shoul- ders above them all for the premier honors of the day by gathering in two line drives that were shoe string cat- ches to say the least. One came in the third when there was a man on first, and it was on its way for the tall timbers when Reg. intercepted it. + pother came in the fifth when he came in behind second base and grab- bed off a hard fly that seemed to be mst where neither infielder nor out- fielder could get at it, A third catch came along in the eighth when Her- od cavght hold of a fast one and sent it out to center field at a mile a min- ute pact. Reg. was equal to the test however and made it perfect day in the ficld although he might have been pardoned had he let any one of the three get away from him, All the in- fielders, Morison, Benson, Penu and Kellar, also made brilliant plays that drew deserved applause from the stand, The excitement of the game began in the very first innings when Osh- awa came in to bat and Benson, the first man to come to the plate, rapped ont a single into short right field. It seems, in passing, rather of a coinci- dence that out of the two hits that rome Oshawa's way, one went to the first batter and the other to the very 19:f. Benton was advanced to see- ond when Williams laid down a lovely bunt which Herod delayed in throwing to fi st with the result that both run ners were safely lodged ar first and second without anyone yet being out. Another attempted sacrifice didn't go so well as Williams' bowever for it went too far down the third base line tn Taps and he had little trouble to snag it and touch the base to retire sw. son a torce out. With only one oiit, things were still looking fine for the Motors, but they were doomed to disappointment as far as runs were concerned, for Penu, the next batter, flied out to left field and Williams was caught stealing third by almost five feet to retire the side. In the second session, New Toronto sccred their only run of the game and what looked, up to the eighth, to be the only score for either side. It bhap- pened when the first batter, Holdenby, it an honest to goodness single into left field. He.was advanced by a bunt from McCauley and scored on New Toronto's second and last hit of the game, a Texas leaguer into center field by Johnston. The run was well carned and' they deserve credit for it. The third. fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh innings were only interesting in the fact that they saw some tight, almost errorless baseball, but the! eighth and ninth saw the Motors come | into their own and shove across the | runs that gave them the victory. The parade was started in the eighth when Kellar gave Herod a ground hi ball that was a little more than he could handle and went to second whils Janes at third and Cummins at firs' were both mussing up a play on Cam erom, with the result that two me: were again reposing on first and sec ond with no men being retired. Bur they didn't die on the bases this tim like they had in the first innings JPawaty advanced them on a sacrifice and at this stage Oshawa got their first' break of the game when Herou shot across a drop that dropped toc much and went through Holdeuwby legs. Kellar scored before the elusive pill had been recovered, and great was the as the result of the count now being tied. On a play that fol towed a minute later, the deadlock was almost broken them and there. Cameron being tagged owt on a close one at the plate when he made an al- mos" successful attempt to steal home. New Toronto's attemvst to break the fie score in their half of the minth was confined to three of their heaviest fatters grounding out in stccession to Reason, Dainty and 'Penu, but the Oshawa batters gave them a lesson in how ghey should come through in the princes when Fair hit a hot one to short stop who apparently cracked un- Ar the strain and booted the ball, and Foon waved Herod owt for a walk. vile Ma'ty Matthews came through wih his scorcher into left field wich o Aod the game. To add to their lau- ge'. hore was mobody out at the time | pod poreral wore ons might casily | have been scored had there been the necessity, since the Motors seemed at ast to have reached their chaiacter- stic fighting stride. Such a chmax to the game came as suddenly as it was warmly welcomed and it even seemed to be all over be- fore the innings had started. Too much credit cannot be given to the Motors for their sensational victory, since their all-round team play, their wora in the ficld and their performance at bat could hardly he improved upon by any team of Senior class, "Duke" Dainty, with Cameron catching him admirably, turned in one of the bet games from the mound that has been seen in Oshawa since he himself was seen here several seasons ago, and that is indeed saying somethink. The infielders have al eady been mentioned fcr the game they turned in and as to the outfield, Fair has also been mentioned. Williams drew plenty of ittention to himself by his part plaved vith the willow, while Mattey Mat: lews needs no further recommend) ion.

To make it still more interesting, both teams rendered ex- cellent support and it was for these reasons that the score found such a low level. The game was replete with fast plays and interesting circumstance es and there was no one who left the Agricultural Park on Saturday with wt acknowledging that they had seen a rare exhibition of baseball. Bowmanville drew first blood in the scoring column and did it with a grand rush in the very first innings. Thurs ton and Moise were responsible for he two and only counters which were nnexed in this spasm and they came as the result of three singles, the first going to Thurston, the next to Moise and the last, which did all the dam- age, to Desjorges. With the exception of the seventh and ninth sessions fo: Rowmanville, the innings following their run making first were unevent- wl and the batters were returned to 'he bench in one-two-three succession | "n the seventh and ninth, a runner in cach case managed to make his ac- waintance with the environs of first 'ase through an error but the side as retired before he bad a chance to 'o any damage.

Heavy rains on Thursday and Friday created the impression that the courts would not be in shape for tour- noment play and as a result there was a limited number of entrants in the men's doubles and' in the mixed dou- bles which were held. Contrary to ex- pectations the courts, hardened by Saturday's sun were in good condi- tion and it was possible to start play at four o'clock. Mecause of lateness in starting all matches with the ex- ception of the final .in the men's dou bles were restricted to a single set. First place in the mixed doubles was taken by Miss Margaret Myers and A. H. Walker who were successful against Dr. W. J. Langmaid and Miss (Gioheen in the final match. Top hon ors in the men's doubles were annexed by A. H: Walker and W. Robertson who downed Dr. C. E. Ferrier and (ie. Jamieson after a strenuous match which went three sets. After the firs set which Walker and Robertson won rather handily Dr. Ferrier and Jamie son came back brilliantly and evened the standing with a well earned vic- tory in the second set. In the third and deciding set every point was keenly played, thrilling "rallies were frequent and some fair net work was seen, In both series partners were draw: by lot and as a result most matches were evenly contested. Refreshments were served during the afternoon by the lady members of the club and an interested gallery watched the progres f the tourney. Following are the results: Mixed Doubles First Round Dr. W. J. Langmaid and Miss Go heen defeated 1. Kelly and Miss Northcott (+4, H. Spanton and Mrs. W. J. Lang naid won from W. Robertson and Mrs. C. E. Ferrier 6-3. A. H.

Not since that great year in | Which he won the title has he finished |a foe in the first frame. | Sharkey's shorter record shows but one first-round knock-out, scored over Billy. Muldoon in 1924. Both have been knocked out, once im cach career the mighty has fallen Dempsey's conqueror was Fireman jim Flynn who downed him for the ount in one round in 1917. Sharkey's was Romero Rojas who knocked the sailor helpless in the night in 1924 Analysis of the evolution of Shar key's punch shows a startling increas mm its power in the years that have lampened the dynamite in Dempsey': hsts. | From a "fighter without a punch" Sharkey became this year a dangerous hitter who slashed Mike McTigue sc severcly~tire referee stopped the bout, and who knocked out Jim Maloney in the fifth round. These were his last two fights. In them Sharkey seemed to find and use, almost for the first time, the devastating power of his punch. While Sharkey's victory over Wills last fall was won on a foul, the Lithuanian had all the better of it and that battle served to rank him among the logical contenders for the title. Outstanding among Dempsey's great fights is his three-round knockout of Jess Willard in Toledo in 1919 for the championship. In its defense he knocked out Billy Miske in 3 rounds, Bill Brennan in 12, Georges Carpen- tier in 4, Luis Firpo in 2 and won from Tom Gibbons in 15, before Gene Tunney outfight him to win the crown in 10 rounds at' Philadelphia. Dempsey at 32 is a veteran of 78 fights of which he took 47 by knock- outs, won 11, drew 4 and lost 3. Ten were exhibitions and three mno-decs sions. Sharkey at 25 has to his credit 10 knockouts and 17 victories in 33 fights He lost 4 and 2 were no-decisions.
