EVS PUT WIL LIAMS AWAY IN DISTRICT SOFTBALL FINAL 11-4 Industrial League Champs Capture Both Games From _ County League Winners Sensational Fielding Features Buttle -- Young Starts Two Fas! Double Plays by Pull ing Down Hot Liners-- Young and Palmer Hit Homers -- Each Team Scores Three in First The 1927 champ'onship of the Oshawa and District Softball Asso- clation which represents the peak ot softball honors in Oshawa and all the surrounding district includ- ing Whitby, 'Bowmanville, and, Port Perry; was last night annexed by George Hill's Chevrolet combina- tlon by an 11 to 4 score over Dick Branton's William's Plano priva- teers in a marvel of a game at Al- exandra Park before one of the bumper crowds of the season, This victory gives the car makers the series in two straight games and also the record of having gone through their entire league and play off series without a defeat other than through default, The game last night was very much similar to that played on the evening previous when. the Chevs pulled out in the tenth inning with an 11 to 6 count in their favor, Hard hitting again played a major part in the battle while as in the first game, sensational catches and bkrilliant field put outs also made their bid for the lime light. The same pitchers re-appeared om the slab, although both managers could have called upon moundsmen of equally 'good @alibre, Practially the same teams were also fielded although Chevs made a change in both their infield and outfield. Unlike the game on Thursday however, both teams made a broad- side at the score board in the very first session and counted three bulls' eyes before they called off their forces at the end of the re- partee... Williams went to 'bat first and with an error to pitcher and another: to center field to start it off, Fair, Hurst, and Hobbs crossed the plate in a merry procession be- fore Chevs called a halt, When the makers of the kerosine kottles came to bat in their half of the opener, they didn't even stop for an invitation through errors but walked right in and mauled the ball for two hits in succession, a hot fly" out™ to center field which resulted, in an error, and a third hit which accounted for the trio of -mnp 'Sunox Aq uj IYSnolq sae) mow and Rowden, Palmer severed the 3-all knot in the second canto when he socked almost the first ball pitched In the inning for a home run into left field. Another home run, coming this time from Young was respon- gible for a two run break in the fourth while two singles sent the geor: up to 7 to 3 in the fifth, Three men were left on the blocks in the sixth when the Cheve iweny on ja hitting rampgge that was only successful in bringing hom: one of the seven men who went to bat, Young seored the ritn when he singled and was fol- owed by a pair of safeties from Gummow and Rowden. Both teams did their last scoring 'in the eighth. On hits from Fair, Timmins and Gower, Williams brought their aggregate up to four when Fair made the circuit on some pushing from Timmins' and Gow- er's hits that couldn't have heen stopped" by anything. The count. at that, was made after two had been retired. In Chevrolet's half, two hits, =» pair of walks and a base on balls were responsible for the three ad- ditions which brought their total up to eleven. An error at first base on Rowden's ground hit ball start- ed the fun, he being followed by a walk to Webster and a brace of singles from Kellar and Luke, the tallies being made by Rowden, Web ster and Kellar, With three hits in four or five Young and Luke for the Chevs top ped the day in batting, while Youn: with three, also led in the run scor- ing. Two tallies were brought i bv Rowden and Webster for the Chevys and by Fair, for the pianc makers, Hobbs and Timmins. On the field, the remarkable plays were many and the honors were evenly distributed. Young at short for the Chevs was the star of the game by figuring in two dou- ble plays which he started by sen- sational catches of line drives. Tim- mins and Service for Williams alsc turned in performances which were of the first order, while Hobbs, Naylor, Gummow Hall and Kellar 211 had games which were worthy of mention.

Belle- ville was defeated by 11 to 6 by De- loro, although the locals led up to the end of the sixth innings. De- loro had managed to score but one run up to that time, but the seventh gave the visitors nine runs. The champions are heavy bat ters, and in the seventh frame by dint of bard hitting and taking ad- vantage of an error on the part of Belleville they carried off the trophy. Belleville previously has played senior ball, but this year, owing to the break-up of the Cen- tral Ontario League, went into in- termediate ball with Deloro and Point Anne, h IMPOSSIBLE A Peking flapper was fined the sther day because .she showed he. .nees when her rickshaw was tip- red over.

Base on Brief Comments On Local Sport About the only noticeable difference between last night's between championship game that on Th Williams and Chevrolet and evening was that it was played in one in- ning less and Williams were one run less in the final score, Chevrolet is a championship team which any impartial fan couldn't help but admire. Their hitting. prowess has wrecked many a good and close game while the home runs, triples and doubles which are-accounted for in nearly every. contest by one Jlayer or another, has proved to be the terror of every pitcher season, they have faced since the very first of the he hits don't come singly, either, but usually to the accompaniment of a regular anvil chorus of wood pound- ing leather. To go hand in hand with the Chevs, hitting, there are the remaining features which are unquestionably present and which are the requirements of any team that is expect- ed to get anywhere, The first is their pitching staff, which requires no comment except a hundred words of praise while the others are their fielding combination and their re- serve strength. Their expertness at fielding has been shown in every one of their recent games while the ably of the players on the bench is probably the best, with illiams and Trimmers the only possible exceptions in South Ontario, The Robson Leather-General Motors Ladies" Softball League game played on Wednesday evening at the Collegiate grounds wasn't a tie game after all, although it was declar- ed a 15-all tie at the time, A close scrutiny of the official score book and a lengthy debate last night resulted in the score being changed to a 16 to 156 count in favor of Rob- sons by virtue of another run which was credited to them in the last inning when they staged a five run rally, which through the decision made last night gave them the game, Will the Pontiacs defeat Buffalo? Will St, Andrew's beat Richmond Hill and will South Oshawa submerge Peter- boro? Such are the questions being asked on the eve of these three yvhampionship play-off games in which all Osh- awa is vitally interested. At present the only one of the three questions which are being answered with apparently absolute certainty is "St. Andrew's." One of the largest crowds of the lacrosse crowds of the season should see the only one of the three games which is being played locally, although a wealth of well wishes will follow both the Saints and the South Oshawa aggregation to their respective fields, CHICAGO BEATS YANKS 3.2 IN NEW YORK PHILLIES, BROWNS WIN New York, Aug, 19.--Lou Gehrig was the Yankee offence today, but his efforts could not quite match the hurling of Ted Blankenship 0 the White Sox, and the Yanks tou. # 3-to-2 licking at Chicago. Columbia Lou took a lead of one homer over Babe Ruth in the race for distance hitting honors by e¢'out- ing his 39th of the season w:th noue on in the ninth, In the sixth Geh rig's double scored Koenig, who had singled and moved ahead on Ruth: bit, The White Sox pecked away ai Waite Hoyt for the winning runs in the first, third and fourih in- nings, combining two hits in each for a single warker, Bern.e Nels ianded two thuely counts 1or the Sox, At Cleveland, Philadlephia made it tour out or five when they de- feated the Indians, 5 tv 3. Walberg won his own game with a long single that scored two runs in the eiButh. He also struck out seven men, The Browns won from Washing- ton, 6 to 1, for the third straight victory over the Senators at St. Louis. An error by Gerber let in the only run off Wingard, who was cred- ited with his second vietory of the season. Wingard also got a home- run in the sixth with one man on base, Detroit" continued its winning streak to nine games by taking bot; end of a double-header from: the Boston Red Sox at Detroit. The scores were 5 to 2, and 14 to 7. The Re. Sox made a triple play in the eighth inning of the second contest. D'ANNUNZIO USES PRIVATE WARSHIF Gardone, Aug. 19.--Gabrielle D'- Annunzio cruised the lake in his private submarine-chaser and fired private cannon in honor of Minister of Public Education Peitro Fidel The submarine-chaser was the sift of the Italian pation to D'- Anpunzio. In it the poet-warrior penetrated the Austrian harber of Bugdari during one of his many raids. Fid.l and Prefect Vaceari, of Trent, were met at Riva da Trento by D'Apnupzio, who brought them to his home here abroad the war- craft. Arriving at Gardome, the D'Apnunzio cannon fired a minis- terial salute. LEAGUE-LEADING BISONS BEATEN A™ JERSEY CITY New York, Aug. 19.--The league- leading Buffalo Bisons met defeat at Jersey City, the Black Cats scor- ing a 4 to 3 triumph. Bob Grody, Jersey rookie, was in fine form, and held the visiting Bisons to seven hits. Poor support enabled Buffalo to score all three rums.

Perhaps the fact that 1a is credited with making a state- rent whieh eoncerned Al Mamaux, th: ace of the Bear pitching staff, bad much to do with his downfall. Early ip the season the baseball layers heard that Faulkner sald that he did not know where Mamaux got off to win so many games as he did not have anything. The Bears heard it, and of course they did their extreme darndest against Faulkner, 'or Mamaux here is a pride and joy of the fans. Perhaps Jim talked out of turn and it worked against him. At any rate he was a mark for the Bears this afternoon, and he gave way to a pinch hitter in the eighth. The only run scored by the Leafs came in the fifth inning, when the mighty Alexander plastered one over Jocko Conlan's head in centre field. At maple Leaf Stadium the drive would have been good for at Jeast four bases, but a concrete wall blocked the drive by Alexadner, and not being a speed merchant he was forced to be content with two bases. It was the longest drive ever made here. Faulkner followed with a smashing drive between Conlan and Carlyle for which he gained three hases and Alexander scampered over the plate. That was the extent of the scoring "Chick" Davis, a New York Giant cast-off, who twirls with is fork hand. The Leafs got but seven hits from Davies and they were well scattered. FARM WORK "Getting back to the farm" is a present day slogan. In spite of this, most of those on the farms, are steadily and regularly educating their boys and girls, who after a year or 80 at high school, postitve- ly refuse to return to farm work: It remains for some agriculturist with phychological training suffi- cient to make boys believe it is fun, to load a manure spreader on the south side of a barn on a sweltering hot day in Jume or July. After all, the work is not greater than that exerted in rowing a boat or paddling 2 canoe along the beach, where also the odor of stale fish is just as sweet as that of the barnyard while the sand- flies and other flies in the vieitity are more nu- merous than flies round a cow stable at milking time on a warm sultry evening. What a boy you 'are for asking questions!" said the exasperated fa- ther. "I'd like to know what would have happened if I'd asked as many questions when I was a boy." "Per- haps," suggested the young hopeful, "you'd have been able to answer some of mine." "I do mot choose to rum," wrote President Coolidge.

Girls 17 Four runs in the last inning gave Ontario Malleable Iron a 19 to 17 vietory over Gemeral Motors in a Ladies' Softball League game at the Collegiate grounds last night which was both well attended and well contested. The biggest sur- prise and feature of the game was an eight run rally which was staged by G.M.C.'s in the seventh inning and which put them ahead in the score at the time by a 16 to 15 count. Two home runs were hit during the game by Marion Kay which almost gives her the undisputed title of Babe Ruth in the League, Everyone had a good sized hand in last night's proceedings both in batting, run scoring and fielding. Besides her home runs, Marion Kay counted on five occasions to lead the day with Isa McDonald and Siblock with four apiece, the only ones anywhere near her for the honrs. With the exception of these three the remainder of the runs were very evenly divided among the players, none being forced to call it a day without at least one rum being tallied up to their credit, As it is now becoming a habit with the ladies, both teams scored in the first inning. Siblock, the first batter up for G.M.C.'s tallied the one which went to her team while Isa McDonald, Kay and Rom- bough broke the ice for the Malle- ables. Another trio followed in the second for OM.I, while G.M. C. held theirs over until the third and then unloaded four while Ab- pie Foster's clan were applying one more, to make the count at that stage a 7 to 6 sum in favor of O, MI Marion Kay's first home run of the day brought in three counters in the fourth while the Motors were idle, while in the fifth G.M. C.'s again stood by and watched another home run sail off her bat which bettered the result of the last inning by one. After being idle in the fourth and fifth while O. were doing some business in the wholesale scring line, G. M, C.'s came to life in the 6th and forced the Malleables to return the compli- ment by remaining dormant in their (O.M.1.'s) battidg half while they were sending across a pair and a half in their section of the in- ning, Eight runs by the Motors in the seventh stanza was the grand up- get of the game and only a four | run recovery by Malleable in their |1ast half of the last frame saved them from a sad and disastrous ending. Everyone made a lusty assault on the ball in G.M.C.'s ral- ly and all but one in the line up aceounted for a run, Malleable's four in the last which were responsible for pulling out with the victory were brought in by Jean and Isa McDonald, Kay and Larson in a regular rally that saw the runs cross the plate before any had been retired, The line ups were: -- G.M.C.--Siblock, 1.f.; cf.; Tyrrell, r.f.; Reece, 1b.; Thompson, p.; McLean, 3b.; Cun- ningham, 3b.; R.

GREECE NARROWLY AVERTS UPRISING Conspiracy to Overthrow the Government is Discovered in Time Cooper, Athens, Greece, Aug. 19.--A con- spiracy to overthrow the Government and reinstate General Theodorus Pangalos, the former dictator, has been discovered, it was stated today. Thirty leaders, including two offi- cers, were arrested. London, Aug. 19--An Athens des- pateh to The Westminster Gazette says that 40 non-commissioned offi- cers of the Athens garrison have been arrested on a charge of being members of a Pangalos league for the overthrow of the Government. Recent despatches from Athens said that propaganda in favor of the releas: of General (Pangales, who has been under arrest on the Island of Crete for some time, had been in- temsified. 'These despatches also stated that the Government had rea- son to suspect that certain army and nave officers were displaying unwon- ed activity in his behalf. Generad Pangalos, who assumed the dictator- ship of Greece in January, 1926, and was ousted in August of thesame year, is being held om charges of improper conduct im power.

DETENBECK KING SREET EAST PIRATES AND GIANTS IN EVEN BREAK New York, Aug. 19.--Two rousing rallies from opposite sides of the di- 'amond, both 'in the "stretching sev- enth" gave Pittsburg and New York an even break in a doubleheader to- day, the Pirates taking the first game 9 to 3 and the Giants the second § to 2, Six telling singles as part of a 10- hit eight-run attack that drove Lar- ry Benton to the showers gave Lee Meadows his 16th victory of the sea- son in the first struggle. Burleigh Grimes let the Pirates down with five safeties in the second, while his mates gathered three runs in the seventh to push over the victory. Kiki Cuyler, in a pinch hit role, broke Benton's string of eight stralght wins by tripling with the bases full to cap the climax of Pitts- burg's big inning. Rogers Hornsby and Bill Terry hit homers in the first game. Travis Jackson, Paul Wa- ner and Earl Smith drove for the :ircuit in the second. Ben Cantwell, $25,000 recruit from Jacksonville, stopped Pitts- burg's scoring in the first game and finished the contest without trouble. Fred Lindstrom was knocked uncon- ielous in a collision with the out- field barrier in the first game and was unable to play in the nightcap. Cubs Divide Bill, At Brooklyn the Dodgers and the 'league-leading Chicago Cubs split a doubleheader to even the four-game series, John Blake shut out the Dod- gers, 3 to 0, in the first game, but Doug McWeeney hurled Brooklyn into an even break with a 6 to 1 win in the nighteap. Blake's victory was the 12th shut- out suffered by the Dodgers this season and the fourth succesive game in which Jess Petty's mates have failed to score a single run for iim. Five Brooklyn errors helped he Cubs to victory. Brooklyn bunched hits off Jones n the second contest, scoring three allies in the eighth on three sine les, two passes and a sacrifice. The vin was McWeeney's first since the pening week of the season, Heath- cote gathered three of Chicago's five hits, After Kent Greenfield had held 3t, Louis to two hits while Boston hammered out a 6 to 1 vietory in he first game of a doubleheader at Boston, the world champions turned 'he tables and won the second game 'y the same score. Sherdel was ef 'ecive in the box and had perfect support.
