SIMON WIN New York, May 6.--The St. Si- mon's Club twelve of Toronto ek- ed out & hard fought 5 to 3 tri- umph over the Crescent A.C. la- crosse team at Bay Ridge Satur- day in an extra session contest that drew the largest crowd of the season, . The Canadians deserved to take this game despite the 3 to 3 tie score which existed at the end of the regular hour's period of play. For the St. Simon's team flashed a fast attack and an uncanny de- fence, which bad the Half Moon- ers going uphill half way. It was sheer grit and unwillingness to be beaten that bled the Cr t outlit to do as well as it did, for there seemed to be something wrong with the usually smooth working team from Bay Ridge. BREAKS BECORD Seattle, Wash., May 6. -- Percy Williams, of the High School ov Commerce, Vancouver, BC. brought the spectators at the Uni- versity of Washington relay car- nival to their. feet. Saturday when he flashed over the cinders in the high school 100 ¥ards dash in 9.9 seconds. He set a mew record for the event breaking the old mark of 19.2. His time equalled that today of the Pacific Coast Con- ference event, won by Wesley Foster, negro star of Washington state college. The Vancouver High School was credited with a second record when the 880 yards relay team, with the aid of the flashy Wil- lame, won that event in 1.32.6, breaking the old mark of 1.36.1 The other members of the team are Scott, Dizon and Hendry. | Leats Win Nine Straight Games Toroato, May 7.--Baltimore, Md., May 6.--~The hurried one-day spec- ial trip here from Toronto proved very 'profitable for Bill O'Hara's Leafs. They easily banged their way to 13 to 5 and 8 to 2 victories over the Baltimore Orioles, Follow- ing the game both--~teams left for Toronto open a series there to- morrow, ' It was a gala day for Dale Alex- ander, Eddie Phillips and Clayton Sheedy, These boys each hammered two home runs, Alexander collected his circuit wallops in the second game and ran his string to seven. 0| He also hit two homers against the Orioles here last Sunday, when the Canadians won both coitests, Phillips' blows came in the open~ ing tussle, while the former Oriole first baseman banged out a four- ply hit in 'each game. Don Songer, relief pitcher in the second tussle, aslo hit for four bases, "Old Reliable" Jess Doyle, al- ways Nemesis to the Orioles, came through with a fine pitching per- formance in the opening affair. The Birds banged out ten hits, several coming at opportune times, but Doyle was the mdster of the situa- tion throughout most of the con- test, 'While Toronto used but one moundsman, - Jack Dunn paraded Stewart Bolen, who started, Fred Vincent, Clarence Allen and Bill Henderson to the firing line. They were all ineffective and the Leafs garnered 15 hits, Sheedy getting three, a double, triple and home run, Don Hankins, as he did last week, started the second game, but did not last long, for in the third inning he was yanked in favor of Songer, who pitched the remaining part of the fracas, George Earn- shaw, ace of the opposing staff, started for Baltimore, but home runs by Sheedy and Alexander in the third forced his exit. Howard Cates did not last long after re- lieving Earnshaw, and yielded 'the assignment to Bill Henderson, who was also a relief twirler (jn the initial game, ' Leafs Break Out The first game went scoreless for three innings. In the fourth the visitors got started and chalked up three runs, Rabbitt fanned to start the frame, Webb tripled to centre and came home when Bob Lamotte, former Toronto shortstop, threw wild to the plate, trying to retire Webb on Merwin Jacobson's grounder, The latter took second on the play. Sheedy doubled to left to bring home Jacobson, while Alexander's single to right tallied Sheedy. Baltimore in the fifth brought the game closer hy scoring one run. Urbanski singled and Dixon was hit. Maisel's single to centre scored Urbanski, This must have nettled the Leafs, for in «the sixth 'they tallied four markers. . Webb walked and was sacrificed by M, Jacobson. Sheedy also was placed, while Alexander singled to left, sending Webh home. Sheedy scoring and Alex. taking third on Porter's bad throw, This fcrced Bolen's retirement and Vin- cent went to the mound. Phillips greeted the mew pitcher with a home run, and Burke doubled, but was stranded, the next two batters being retired, : Another Rally in Seventh Toronto kept pounding the Balti- more pitchers aud added five more in the seventh. Rabbitt doubled to centre, which was enough punish- ment for Vincent, and Allen re- 5| lieved him. Rabbitt took third on Dixon's bad throw to pick him off second. Webb fanned. M. Jacobson singled, Rabbitt scoring, and on the first ball pitched Jake stole second. Sheedy and M. Jacobbson tramped home on the former's circuit blow. Alexander was passed, and Phillips came through with his second homer, and Allen also was through. Henderson taking up the pitching duties, He fared better, for he re- tired the side without further dam- age. ' Baltimore got to Doyle for three runs in their half of the seventh. With one out, Dixon walked 'and went to third when Henderson singled. Maisel hit safely to score Dixon, and Onslow beat out a hit to Cote, who threw wild trying for Maisel at second. That allowed Henderson to score, Maisel going to third and Onslow to second, Por- ter grounded to Alexander, Maisel racing home, Brower lined out. Rabbitt's double and Sheedy's tyiple, in the eighth ended the scor- ing in the first game for Toronto. The Orioles added another in the ninth on Maisel's double and On- slow's single. Rabbitt Starts Rally The visitors went into the lead in the third inning of the closing affair when they banged out four hits and tallied four runs. Rabbitt started the fireworks by singling, and was sacrificed to second by Webb. M. Jacobson got a double when his pop fly fell safe, Rabbitt pulling up at third. Sheedy hit into the bleachers for three runs and Alexander followed with another four-base blow. Earnshaw was taken out at this stage and Cates went to the mound. He did not last long for, after walking the next two batters, Henderson went to the box and got through. Henderson scored the Bird's first run with a homer over the right- field fence in the third. Maisel and Porter also got hits, but a double play saved the visitors more runs. Hankins was taken out after Por- ter connected for his single) and Songer relieved him. ~ SPOR1 SNAPSHO1S hand the Oshawa City teain needs they too will soon be fighting on in the senior series.

Tax extra | IEEE EEENS frigid weather conditions. er Walter Schultz and Coach | Oshawa Motors Win 10 - 2 in National League Game for Motor City Eleven -- 'Display Machine-like Work in Second Half and Score Almost at Will General Motors soccer team had matters all their own way Saturday afternoon when they defeated Lon- don Canadian Nationals 10 goals to 2 right in London. There was no comparison between fhe two teams on the day's play, the Motor City kickers scoring almost at will, How- ever one thing stood out and that was the Motors have a much strong- er eleven and should be heard from for the rest of the season despite the fact that they are fighting with the best teams in Ontario. The first half was fast and it seem- ed as if CN.R's would provide stiff opposition. A last minute change in the lineup brought Lobban from out- side left to inside left, and McKean to outside left. Cole played left half in place of Cregg, who was unable to travel to London. Lobban was the outstanding player with five of the ten goals to his credit. Sathrang was in his usual good form bagging three counters. Hurst and McKean scored the other two. Some good work was seen in thé first hali, when Barr of the CN.Rs scored a great goal. The count at hali time was 3 to 1, * In the second half the Motors team gave a great exhibition, scoring al- most at will. Ii they continue the same form throughout the season they will be right in line for the championship, Just before full time, Smith saved a penalty earning a well deserved ovation from the fans, Quite a large crowd was on hand to sec the contest, Bickford, the CN.R. goalie, put up a plucky de- fensive battle but he was not to blame for the large score piled up against him. With Motors as they did no defence could have stood up against the machine-like movements of the front line. The final whistle brought td a close onc of the finest games of soccer ever seen in London. Motors--T, Smith, goal; Conner and Matt Smith, back; Hurst, Ram- age and Cole, half backs; N. Dougall, E. Dougall, Sathrang, McKean and Lobban. London CN.R, -- Bickford, goal; Wonton and Brown, backs; Askew, Russell and Barr, hali backs; Taylor, Morgan, Henderson, Thompson and Woods, Referee--George Robertson, of London. ' First Half The teams took the field at 2.50 p.m. and kicked off prompt to 'time. The ground was in good condition and everything in order for a fast game, Sathrang kicked off for the Motors, passed to 42. Dougall, who wormed his way through the defence in brilliant fashion, passing out to his outside man, Neil Dougall, who swung a picture of a cross in front of the goal and Bert Lobban meet- ing the ball oh the drop, delivered a terrific shot which the goal tender never saw till he picked it out of the net. (Time 2 minutes). This put CN.R. on the offensive, but Motors defense was solid, Barr, the left half, tried his luck with a good shot, which showed that T, Smith was all there, tipping nicely over the bar. C.N.R. were not to be shaken off and Barr scored a great goal from 18 yards out, the ball striking the under side of the eross bar, with Smithy making a desperate attempt to save. Motors put on the screw and gave the crowd something to shout about in the way of delightful football Lobban and N. Dougall were sending across great balls and Sathrang was ever ready for a chance. McKean pushed a nice ball to the centre, which put Motors iin the lead. Mot- ors seemed to be all out now for goals, and after 30 minutes play Sathrang added a third goal, after a nice piece of play by Lobban, who was fairly keeping the London de- fence on tender hooks, When half' time arrived it was the general op. inion of cveryone present 'that no team in Canada could have stood against the Motors on the days' play, * from goal outwards they were solid. Half time, Motors 3 goals, CN.R. 1 goal, Second Half The teams took the field after § minutes interval. - CN.R. kicked off and made tracks for the Motor goal, Thompson crossed the ball and Smith set himself to pick up the ball, but it struck Conners in the leg and was deflected into the net. Now the fat was in the fire; and Motors simply carried all before them, but the Railwaymen were not lying down. Lobban carried the ball from the centre of the field and beat five opponents and cooly planted it safely into the net. End to end play followed, and Smith, the Motors' left back, was being cheered for his cool tackling and splendid placing. Lobe ban was again in the picture with some lovely dribbling, crossed the ball to Neil Dougall, who in turn passed to Hurst who drove hard and true into the net from 20 yards out. There was not a weak man in the team, and Myles Cole who was play= ing left hali, through John Cregg losing the train, was placing some nice balls, Ramage played his best game for the Motors and was mak= ing some good openings for his for= wards, Hey, Presto! Lobban again, another pile driver from Neilly Dou- gall, and Lobban headed into the net, Goals now came easy to Lobban who followed with another two, making his total five. People present at the game won- dered how he was ever allowed to leave the Old Country, McKean, his partner, finished up a good day's work by scoring his club's 10th goal. Motors team cased off after this, and C.N.R, pressed. Matt Smith gave away a penalty, but Smithy was a- gain equal to the call, and brought off a great one-handed save from Thompson. Smith's record for pen- alties saved is 10 out of 12, I question if a goal tender in Canada can equal that record. Summing up--Every man was good, Goal scorers--ILoh- ban § goals, Sathrang 3 goals, Hurst 1 goal, McKean 1 goal. Motors, 10 goals; London C.N.R., 2 goals, Rochester, May 6. -- Rochester opened its series with Reading here today with a victory, 10 to 3, Every man on the home team, with the exception of Bell, obtain- ed at least one hit, Joe Brown get- ting a homer to right centre in- side the park. Bell allowed but seven scattered hits. Hc -- Dominion Clothing Co.
