It was a gruelling fight and a slug- ging match all the way with J ohn- ston's cleverness and slugging ab- ility earning him the decision. He landed more frequently than Eb- ber, using a stinging left to the face and a hard right cross to tne head and body. Ebber fought a game battle opening up a deép cut over Johnston's eye in the sev- enth round, but the younger man had plenty in reserve and won by a comfortable margin, Johnston weighed 123 1-2 and Ebber 122 1-4. The semi-final on the card was a whirlwind of speed and clever- ness, Doddy Oldfield, flyweight from England, taking the decision from Harry Goldstein, Toronto, formerly of Boston in a six round bout that was all action. Going forward all the time, Oldfield flafl- ed his way to victory, willing to take punishment, and was seldom slowed up by Goldstein's solid blows. The young Englishman outhit his opponent and kept the upper hand on a driving offensive practically throughout. Oldfield weighed 111 1-4 ad Goldstein 111 1-2. Qeorge Fifield, Toronto, 152 12, earned a close six round deci- sion over Dory Shimar, Syracuse, N.Y. 148 1-4.

A. Hewitt and J. P. Fitzgerald, Pedlar People Start Tonight When the Pedlar People decided to withhold their entry in the City and Industrial League they also formed the idea of having a base- ball league of their own, this has been done and the first game was to have been played last night but owing to the falling mercury they put the opener off until tonight. Many people were in doubt re- garding the reason of the Pedlar People not being represented and this evidently is the reason. Their opening game tonight is followed by a series of games that will 'not only interest the Pedlar People but the softball fans in he city. The schedule has also the ad- vantage of being run off in a busi- ness like way and the finals will be played by the. time that the summer holidays start thereby not disrupting the teams by absentees.

The scores were 6-3, 62, 6-2. Crocker for the past several years has represened Canada in the sin- gles and doubles of the Davis: Cup competition, Rainville, ranked No. 9, appear- ed in perfect physical condition and should he continue to perform in the same brilliant style as he did yesterday he will possibly nose out either Dr. Jack Wright, No. 1, or Crocker for one of the singles berths on the Canadian team. Rainville drove hard and his placements were all that could be desired .yesterday. He scored many points with beautiful cross court shots. Crocker at times displayed brilliant tennis but he could not cope with the playing of his fellow Montrealer, The only other official test match was a doubles between Rainville and Crocker against Gilbert Nunns, ranking No. 3, and Dr. Art Ham, ranking No. 4, both of Toronto. Thig match produced some 'smart' tennis. The Montrealers won in five hard sets by scores of 4-6, 6-4, 7-9, 6-3, 6-3. The playing of all four men was good but often erratic. Crockegp es- pecially being brilliant at times. Many long rallies featured the match, The Toronto couple took the first set 6-4, but the Montreal- ers evened the count by taking the second, also by a score of 6-4, The third set was a battle royal with first one pair leading and then the other. The Toronto team finally winning out 9-7. After a short rest the four resumed their hostil- ities. In the fourth and fifth sets the team work of Nunns and Ham took a "flop" and Crocker and Rainville won both sets by a 6-3 score to take the match, Dr. Jack Wright, ranked No. 1, did not perform yesterday as he had a slightly sprained wrist. He is expected to take part today. Can- ada's Davis Cup team will be chosen from these five players. your pocketbook also Good roads everywhere, nowadays. No wonder more people are riding C.C.M.
