The local sogser seasiis got under way yes! ay with a practice game beiwcen the Oshawa City football team and Mimico Beach which game resulted in a 2 to 1 victory for the visitors, : The game, though only an exhibi- tion fixture, had the effect of giving the managers a chance to size up the material on hand for the coming sea son. Owing to the fact that not many soccer fans were certain as to weath er, the Mimico Beach team had dis- banded,' the game was witnessed by only a small* crowd. Neither team showed anywhere near mid-season form but all were wn fair condition being upon their toes at all times, The difference betwee. the visitors and I cals lie in the goal keeping. Herdman a crack goal keep- er of the Willy-Overland team at Mimico stopped many a difficult shot and kept all, but the one in the early stages of the game, outside. The maroon of the Oshawa club was everywhere during the first half, outplaying the yellow and black on many a play but were unable to gain a lead. Saxby for Oshawa, scored the opening counter of the game but the count was evened up with only a few minutes to play by Allen of Mimico, and the half-time whistle found the teams tie 1-1. [ imico Wins Early in the second half Allen again netted the ball after which the play was continually down at the Mimico end but the Maroons were unable to slip the sphere past- the cagey Headman and the game ended after many desperate tires with the visitors having won a smart game, The game was probably the earliest game of soccer played in many years. The teams: Oshawa--Staple, Con- nor, Boyd, Smith, Ramage, Parkin- son, Ahearn, Holly, Saxby, Carrick, Fairly. . Mimico -- Herdman, Hutchison, Stanhope, Allen, Lawson, Nesbit, Sor- bie, Craig, Bailey, Bremner, Henry. Port Arthur Swamps Saints Winnipeg, March 30. -- Marshalled to triumph by curly-headed Jimmy Creighton, a fighting Port Arthur squad Thursday night started its march towards a third Allan Cup ti- tle in five years..

Board Toronto, Mar. 30.--With the completion of another record year in the revival of Canada's national sport, the Ontario Amateur La- crosse association started another era that promises continued pros- perity at the annual convention held in the Prince George hotel yesterday. \ A. E. Lyon President Only a few minor changes were made in the constitution, the main one being to allow the president the privilege of being elected to a second term. In the past the office has been limited to one year but it was the general opinion that work could not be properly completed in a single season. President Mike Kelly, who made the suggestion, refused to be the first to set a pre- cedent of holding the chairman's position for two years and rather than seek a return to power he de- clined his nomination. A. E. Lyon of Brantford being elected by me- clamétion when P. Warr of Bramp- ton and W. J. Blainey, Toronto, also dropped out of the race. The appointment of a president by acclamation took considerable color out of the convention for a keen battle was anticipated. The office of first vice-president was also filled without contest, P, Warr advancing from second vice, while W. Blainey was promoted from the council to take Warr's place. An amendment was passed to make a slight change in the election of the executive council, eight instead of five being elected to the 10 posi- tions, and the balloting resulted in the following being selected: J. Burrell, Brampton; L. G. Donald, Toronto; E. A. Kopas, Fergus; Max Johmson, Toronto; H. W. Ni- coll, Oshawa; Walker Stevenson, Toronto, and E. A, Van Every, Stratford. The president will ap- point the other two members of the council, and he will announce his selections at the first executive meeting. Gene Dopp was return- ed secretary, and Dr. Wendell Holmes, treasurer. Windsor Blank - Kitchener 4-0 Windsor, Mar. 30.--Walking off with a 4 to 0 victory that left no doubts about their superiority over the Kitchener Flying Dutchmen, the Windsor Bulldogs qualified for the Canadian' Professional Hockey League final by taking the third and deciding game here last night. They open their championship ser- jes with the Detroit Olympics at Olympia on Sunday night. Alfie Moore, Kitchener goalie, who blanked the Bulldogs to give Kitchener the first game 1 to 0, made a valiant effort to stop them again last night, and, but for the fact' that his mates drew penalties in bunches, he would have come close to turning the trick.

Boston won the first game in the Hub Thursday night, by a 2-0 score, Dr. William Carson, product of the Ontario Hockey Association, prov- ed the hero for Boston last night when he fook a pass from Oliver late in the third period to beat John Ross Roach for the winning counter. The Bostonians had taken the lead late in the second period when Harry Oliver scored a pretty goal The Ranger cause seemed hopeless until "Butch" Keeling, another O. H.A. product, shot unexpectedly from the blue line to beat Tiny Thompson for the tying goal. The nolsy enthusiasm which broke out among the fans in tribute to Keel- ing's fine play was dampened, how= ever, when Carson displayed his clever ability at picking the empty corners, Boston--Goal, Thompson; de- '| fence, Shore and Hitchman; centre, W.

Marlboros Win First Game in Overtime Toronto, March 30--Setting a with- ering Jace through three torrid per- iods o Hockey, Marlboros, champions of eastern Canada, held enough in reserve to drive in a fatal blow dur- ing the first overtime session and de- feat Elmwoods of Winnipeg, peers of the prairie provinces, by 4 to 2'in the first game of the dominion junior fin- als at the Arena Gardens Thursday night, giving the Dukes a one-game margin for the Memorial cup. Marl- boros' mighty front line, backed up by a sturdy defense, gradually bled the westerners' strength, slowly sap- ping every ounce of energy as a threat to the eastern challenge for the adian crown, i Throughout a long, tedious trial that has led to the dominion finals, Marlborors have always saved enough for a winning punch, ed their power to the smallest degree and they repeated the performance Thursday night, just keeping a shade in front all 'the time, although the gamble threw a. thrill into their followers, for the least breax would have blasted their campaign. Whenever the crown- crested club needed a counter they had that punch in the pinch and it drove into the Winnipeg hopes like the sting of a hidden serpent when least expected in the first of the final series. Practically all the Marlboro victories this season have been by one or two scotes and they followed their campaign Thursday night of oal and holding it, forcing their rivals to carry the pace and war themselves into exhaustion in an effort to overcome it. 3 Marlboros' edge in ' experience, weight used to advantage and blazing speed all combined to drain the last dregs of the Elmwoods' 'power and they had little left to stop the east- erners' winning charge in the first overtime period. On the play in the regulation perfod Marlboros deserved the win, only an unexpected rally in the latter part of the third period preventing. The Dukes were prac- tically always in command; although the courage, typical of junior finalists, enabled the westerners to come from Simcoe St. N..

The total receipts were $1,192.01 and the expenditures $805.06, leaving a balance on hand of $386.95, over a hundred dollars in excess of last year's balance which was $260.72. The report of Secretary MacKay showed that the association had just passed through one of its biggest years. There were 24 affiliated as- sociations and 352 teams and through it all they had little trouble, the one lone protest speaking well for the association. Certificates for players will likely be ready for distribution for Tues- ex- pect a large turnout of delegates as there is some important business to be considered. Softball Moguls Elect McArthur Stratford, Mar. 30.--Major G. C. McArthur, of Guelph, is the new president of the Ontario Softball Association, when J. Sullivan of Peterboro withdrew his nomination for the office the Guelph man was swept in by popular acclamation at the annual meeting of the associa- tion at the Board of Trade rooms yesterday. There was one other ac- clamation that in the case of the treasurer's office, W. J. Innes of Paris returning to the work with- out opposition. 'But for the other offices there was spirited competition, R. Rob- ins of Brantford was elected firs. vice-president over V. Springstead of Haniilton, Fred Grant of Toron- to defeated W. Harmer of Osu- awa for the office of second vice- president, and two votes put V. Mackay of Hamilton back into the office of secretary ahead of V. Mc- Ilwraith of Guelph.

Miles Wins Bloor Race Toronto, Mar, 30.--~Johnny Miles of the Hamilton Olympic Club scor- ed a brilliant victory over a great field of the Province's distance men in the Bloor district road races held Yesterday the players of the Oshawa City Football Club took advantage of the weather and staged an exhibition game at Alexandra Park with a team from Mimico Beach, Although they lost the game, the score being 2--1, an afternoon of real smart practice and conditioning was spent and the game gives the management a chance to know where they stand. The difference in the two teams was only in the goal keeping. Mimico had Herdman a veteran ace from the Willys-Overland team and he stopped many shots that should have been goals, H. W. Nicholl on Friday was elected to the 0.A.L.A. Council and those that know Mr, Nicoll will rest assured that the electors made no mistake in placing him on the Board. There .was considerable talk about an outdoor practice for the Chev Ladies' Softball team today but owing to the rain these girls will have to be content with a workout in the Y. gym. The invitations are ready for the big rugby dance to be held on April the twelfth and they are a smart looking card, with a blue sillouette of the championship O.R.P U. crest on the fyont, The Boston Bruins are as predicted by many the world's professional hockey champions having won two games in as many nights from the champion New York Rangers. Amateur hockey may end tonight providing Marlboros are again able to defeat the Elmwood Millionaires which is doubtful when one con- siders the confidence of the westerners. Then the other provision is that the Port Arthur Seniors win the third from St. Francois Xaviers. Johnny Miles of Hamilton yesterday won the Bloor Street race of fifteen miles with Cliff Bucker of Galt only able to squeeze in at fourth place. George Moss of Oshawa finshed strong although out of the money. under the direction of the Toronto Monarch Athletic Club yesterday. Miles, in winning, showed similar form to that which won him the Boston Marathon in 1926, running always well within himself at all times, and finishing comparatively fresh. Cliff Bricker, who was fa- vored to win, was fourth. After leading the race for two-thirds of Last night's hockey games res sulted as follows: he faded and was Reynolds and the distance, passed by Miles, Snell.
