For some time past Nisby has been doing some swimming around Oshawa that the pcople of this city should be proud to talk about, but while his prowess as a long distance swimmer is well-known 'to many, there are still a number of the cit- izens of Oshawa that are ignorant of the fact that their city has a swim- mer that can hold his own with the best of them. In 1927, Nisby swam to Bowman- ville and back, a distance of approx- imately 20 miles and in 1928 he swam one way in four hours and twenty two minutes, These trial swims took place during his training for the 3rd Annual Wrigley Marathon, Another fast trial swim recently has given Nisby all the confifidence in the world in regard to his making a good showing in the coming "big swim." At the last meeting of the Council a letter was sent by Nisby to the council asking for a little financial did for his training period preceeding the swim. His letter was forwarded to the finance committee and will be TONIGHT'S SPORT CARD C.0.B.L.

League Toronto, June 12.--Preston North End, the touring English eleven, secured a comparatively easy 4 to 1 win over a selected National league team at Ulster stadlum last night before 5,000 spectators, The attraction was a good one and left the impression that proud Preston still have a formidable team composed of players well versed in the soccer art. The National league selection looked well on paper but proved a disappointment on the even- ing's play, chiefly due togthe bustling tactics of their opponénts. Russell opened the scoring for hte visitors after ten minutes of play and to be candid the goal should not have been registered as Allport might quite easily have cleared, Play remained even for.a period when on a breakaway Nel- son put Preston further ahead by completely fooling the local te- fence with a good shot leaving All- port little chance. Gwaham, the Nationals' centre man, had several good tries which Ewart handled in masterly fashion on each occasion. Preston continued to play won- derful combination, but were un- able to add to their margin before the interval. Toronto pressed start, many excellent plays being frustrated by the clever combin- ation plays of their opponents, who all through the game exemplified a marked superiority in every de- partment, The North Enders' third tally came by the penalty route when Noke handled when in a tight corner. Harrison, the 'pen- alty kick king," registered from the spot, Moir was responsible for the Nationals' only goal when he put over a nice cross which Gra- ham assisted into the net. Close on time Hair and Bargh engaged in a pretty play which culminated when the former player headed into the corner of the net for the final goal of the game. from the re- F ittings J uveniles Humble King St. The Fittings Limited Juveniles last night won their firstl eague game by the handy score of 15 to 3, from the King Street Juveniles.
