Weather conditions were prohibi- tive to a large crowd otf visitors but there were about four hundred spectators on hand during after- noon. About eighty devotees of the quoit and horseshoe pitching game were on hand. Blackstock, Burke- ton, Orono, West Toronto, Toronto, West « Hill, Tyrone, Bowmanville Fenwick, St. Catharines, Whitby and Oshawa were all represented in the tournament. . The Presicent of the Club, Frea McBrien, gave a short address in which he extended a hearty wel- come to all the visitors, both play- ors and onlookers. W. H, Clark, of the General Motors, gave a short speech and with due pomp and dig- nity, tassed the first "shoe." After this, W. H. Clark and H. W, Nicoll smgaged in a "21-point" same which Mr, Nicoll won. The tournament produced some excellent pitching and the ability shown by several of the contestants was more or'less an education to a great many of the onlookers and local club members, Roy Mec- Laughlin, 11- year old Burketon boy, was the sensation of the tour- : He was knocked out of the singles competition by the man who was the eventual winner. In the ringer contest, he made eigh- teen ringers out of fifty shoes. This mark 'was only bettered Dy two men. The ringer contest was won By Ralph Ames, of Bowmanville, wth a. total of twenty-one ringers out of fifty shots, The competition in the singles and doubles was especially keen and the winners were only decided after a very stubborn fight. The doubles final, while not as close as some of the other matches produced some very exciting mom- ents and spectacular playing. There were twenty-four teams entered in the doubles and the fin- alists were G. Wiley of St. Cath- arines and H, G. Brady of Fen- wick, ve. A. Wiles of West Hill and ¥. Daniels; 'of Toronto.

Chicago, June 9.--Flying Frank Wykoff of the University of South- ern California has won the race he wanted most to win to be no reason why he should not be--in world record time---and there ay- pears universally recognized as the frst: man to run 100 yards in 9 2-5 sec. When Wykoff defeated George Simpson of Ohio State in the cen- tury event of the National Collegi- ate Athletic' Association champion- ships on Stagg field Saturday, Le realized his biggest desire. Major John L. Griffith, Big Ten Athletic Commisioner and mem- ber of the Meet Ccmmittee, said there was nothing to prevent rec- ognition of Wykoll's great per- formance as the world standard. "Wykoff did not use starting blocks, so I can't see how the In- ternatianal Federation could fail to recognize his mark when It meets again." Anderson tied Thomson's 10- year-old. 120-yard high hurdle mark of 14.4 in nipping See Seni- man of Illinois, iu the N.C.A.A. meet Saturday, but used the cou- troversial starting blocks, Simpson, disappointed by h's defeat in the century--a defeat which his triumph in the 220-yard dash did little to offset in his mind --said he would remain in train- ing, and would = race in Canada against Percy Williams, Canadas Olympic champion sprinter, and Eddie Tolan of Michigan, holder of the world record for the 100- yard dash, as well as running in the National A.A.U. meet. Percy Wyer Wins Canadian Marathon Toronto, June 9.--Pounding, re- lentlessly pounding, mile after mile, Percy Wyer, diminutive gal- loner: of the Monarch Athletic Club, covered the 26 miles, 385 yards in 2 hours, 51 minutes 17 2-5 seconds, to cross the finishing line, the winner of the second Canadian marathon championship. Forty-four years old, with a rec- ord second to none among the Jong-distance , runners of Canada, the "Pony Express' came strong- ly 'on end to overtake Gabriel Routsalainen, 38-year-old Finn of Moatreal, who had led for 23 miles, . .. The downfall of Ruotsalainen, within a. mile.and a half of the finish, was one of the tragedies of the race, The Montrealer was con- sidered the man to beat on his record of last year, when he fin- ished second to Fred Ward of the lirose A.C. of New York. On that occasion he finished in fine con- dition, In Hamilton last year he arrived late for the . race, but started after the field, and his time bettered that of the winner. He was up with the leaders going out of the Stadium on Saturday after two and a half miles had been run and at three miles he assumed' the lead, holding it until he reached the corner of Bathurst Street and Davenport Road, where he was forced to quit running, 'the muscles: of his ankle and leg haying tightened up on him, At this point Wyer, who had been slowly overtaking the field, took the lead and finished over a quart- er of a mile ahead of John Cuth- bert, the Guelph runner, ik ' Ruotsalainen's Game Effort : Whether it was the early pace g toll or not, Ruot- ye a most courageous lay, when, after he was unable 'to, run, he insisted upon finishing the race, covering the balance of the distance slowly walking, and 3 : suffering much agony, He entered | | the Stadium in third position, only of the South Seas Comedy "AN.

' Gallant Fox to Get : Well Earned Month's Rest New York, June 9--Gallant Fox, winner of the Preakness, Kentucky Derby and Belmont Stakes, will not enter the American Derby at Wash- ington Park next Saturday, William Woodward, owner of the three-year- old colt, announced yesterday. Woodward said he believed Gal- lant Fox deserved a long rest and will not start him for at least a month. There is a chance Gallant Fox may run in tlie Arlington Clas- gle at Arlington Park July 19, St. Simons Win From Brampton Brampton, June 9.--A small crowd shivering for nearly two hours, wit- nessed the O.A.L.A. senior opening game here on Saturday, when Excel- siors went down to defeat before St. Simon's by 3 to 1. It was a cool at- mosphere for the national pastime and the attendance suffered and the faithful in attendance had their tem- pers ruffled when St. Simon's did not put in an apearance until half an hour after the game was due to start. Under the new penalty rule on the books of the O.A.L.A. the delay would have been costly for them, but it was not enforced, nor did Excel- siors make any request that it should be. St. Simon's did not outclass Excel- siors, but they won because they pre- sented a most stubborn defensive to the corsistent attacking of the ma- roon shirts for the biggest part of the game and when a sally result- ed in the tying goal they came out in the first two minutes of the last session and did about as they pleas- ed, two clever goals resulting. Af- ter that Excelsiors, led by Ella, Reeve and Beatty, threw everything they had into the battle to discount the advantage of the Saints, but it was | futile. "Suds" Sutherland was un- beatable and Thomas and D. Davis, in front of him, had Sproule, Zim-| mer and Gibson, tied in a sailor's | knot, While St. Simon's looked far from ance should have a good season, the game, their dangerous sallies from then on marked them as a real championship possibility. They were strengthened by Bain and Kingdom, the latter a Weston player who play- ed here last season, Both were a power to the field and were factors in every goal-getting expedition of the Anglicans. Bill Davis and Wall- ace plaved smart lacrosse close in The defensive work of the visitors left nothing to be desired. As the season progresses and the players fraternize better and show a keener knowledge of team play the Saints should give their Toronto following an article of lacrosse to enthuse over and Oshawa or Excelsiors will find them plenty of tro.ble, Sutherland Stars Excelsiors on their play deserved | victory, but fickle fortune had' no smile for them. Sutherland 'Had five dangerous drives to stop to dne by Large, but he survived the percent- age in a masterly manner. Excelsiors ficld cannot be blamed for- the defeat. Shot to pieces by the loss of such sterling performers from last wvear's team as" Worthy, Eddie and Ken Kingdom, "Hank" Gowdy, Carey and Jennings, Bill Beatty had to produce an almost reorganized sprinting sextet to overcome this handicap. The new men this year are "Ted" Reeve, Burry, former Excel- sior; Powell, 'last year with Toron- tos, and Stapleton, an ambitious | Georgetown lad. Gibson, a last year junior, will fill a regular role this season, and on his Saturday perform- dnce should have a gooda season, SEEK T0 CONNECT ESKIMOS WITH NEOLITHIC MAN Polar Expedition Will En- deavor to Link Canadian and French Aboriginees New York, June 9--A Polar expe- dition may be launched by Dr. Knud Rasmussen, noted , Arctic. explorer, demonstrate his belief that the is now France and other parts of Europe. This was revealed by Miss Hanne 'Rasmussen, daughter of the explor- er, who arrived aboard the steamer United States from Copenhagen. She said her father has noted there is a marked resemblance in the art work and cooking utensils Of the Eskimos and those of the neolithic period, didcovered in caves of France, Dr. Rasmussen probably will arrive in the United States next Winter, she said, to seek this government's back- ing in the venture.

On Saturday they defeated their old rivals, Peterboro Raybestosy by a score of 5 to 2 in an ecleven-inning game, 'It would be a bitter ill for the Peter- boro fans to swallow. Art. Gower toiled the entire game for the Aarabs and he turned in a wonderful perforfhance, This is the first time this scason, that Manager Kohen has asked a pitcher to go. the route. i 5k RE Three-Corner Tie for First Place Cobourg defeated Port Hope on Saturday !, the minimum score of 1 to 0 and this victory creates a threc-corner tie for league leader- ship, with the Aarabs, Peterboro and Cobourg playing the leading roles. The Aarabs play their next scheduled game at Alexandra Park on Wednesday, when they entertain Port Hope. Port Hope have lost their first two starts but both have been nip-and-tuck battles and as this leaguc is a league of surprises, anything is liable to happen. * * * * : Quoit and Horseshoe Club Opens The General Motors Quoit and Horseshoe Club got off to an ex- cellent start on Saturday when they held their official opening ceremon- ies and tournament. A large number of interested spectators were on hand and they were treated to an excellent exhibition 'of "barnyard golf" by scveral of the very capable players who visited the club to take part in the tournament. An cleven-year-old Burketon youngster, Roy McLaughlin, delighted the onlookers with his cool, yet brilliant display. It took the winners of the singles, to eliminate this boy and he stood third in the ringer contest, * » ¥ LJ Softball Games Tonight are two big softball attractions for tonight, an intermed- jate doubleheader at the Motor City Stadium. In the doubleheader, the Parts and Scrvice meet the Newsies in the first game and Col- umbias play the Regiment Black Cats in the nightcap. The Newsies gave.the P. and S. squad a sctback in the first game of the season and the Blue and White clan are out to get even. Jack Cotter and Murray Johnston are still upholding the relative merits of their teams and while the Black Cats lost their first game with Columbias, they threatened to reverse the tables this time, * The other attrat- tion will be a scheduled junior league game, at Cowan's Park, between The Oshawa Bakery team There have the Duco Boys and the Parts and Service, Pr a rap between the ears on Friday night and in no mood for fooling.

Oshawa Cricketer Performs Bowling Feat St. George's" Cricket Club, and its sensational bowler, Howarth, in particular, come in for a great deal of praise and glory as the result of the feat performed in Toronto on Saturday. The following is what M. J of The Globe, has to say regarding Howarth's feat: Rodden, Sports Editor While it is always a difficult matter to ascribe record titles to local cricket performances, it is quite safe to regard the sensational trundling of Howarth, member of the St. George's C.C. of Oshawa, as unparalleled in the annals of Canadian cricket, and probably the entire realm of the game's long history, as far as organized competi- tion is concerned. On Saturday afternoon the old Toronte C.C. ground at the University of Toronto campus furnished the setting for How- arth's phe | achievethent, namely, the taking of seven wickets with seven successive deliveries! In his first "eight ball" over, one wicket and a single were registered on the scorer's analysis. The sec- ond over brought another wicket and a "maiden." Four runs had to be chalked up during the early part of his third over, but commencing with his last ball he staged his spectacular hid for a world's record. Each ball sent down in the subsequent fourth and final over inexorably claimed its victim to gain for the bowler the super-unique distinction of a double "hat trick," Haworth's display, embracin_ an average of mine wickets for five runs, while not gained at the expense of an outstanding team, nevertheless, numbered some excellent "bats" and exceeds by a wide margin anything hitherto achieved in: Canadian ericket. \d » . . Lacrosse Interest Quickens The lacrosse fans of the city and district are showing a great deal of interest in the fast approaching International Lacrosse Series be- tween General Motors Sts, and the U.S. All-Star team. The U.S. team is being boosted as the strongest aggregation of lacrosse players ever to represent the Stars and Stripes, The Oshawa General Motors has been called "the foremost team in the world," but they will have to look to their laurels on Friday and Saturday. A large crowd of Osh awa people is expected to attend the games. Tickets for the game will be on sale at Mike's Place. Incidentally, St. Simon's defeated the Brampton Excelsiors right in Brampton by the score of J tol. *- - » .

London Paper Says Proposal Will Be Presented to Im- perial Conference London, June 9--All three British political parties may participate in the forthcoming Imperial Conference the political correspondent of the People suggests.

BIRDS' STREAK HALTED Baltimore, June 9--The Newark Bearg divided a doubleheader with the Orioles here Sunday. They broke the Birds" winning streak of eight straight by taking the first game 4 to 1, but the Flock captured the nightcap 6 to 1. Carl Fisher held the locals to six hits in the opener. Foster Bdwardg making his first appearance for the Birds, held the Bears to two hits in the second game. Andy Cohen batted i2 four of the Bears' five runs during the two gameg his homer in the second game being the lone counter. SKEETERS BREAK EVEN Jersey City, N.J., June 9-- The Jersey City Skeeters broke even with the Reading Keys here Sun- day afternoon before an audience of 10,000 fans, winning the first 3 to 2 and losing the second in eleven innings to the tune of 2 to 1. Johnny Welgh, on the mound for the Keys in the second mateh, pitched a masterful game, going the limit and allowing the pests but seven hits in the evelen-inning tussle. TIGERS FORTUNATE Dotroit, June 9---~Walite Hoyt, for- mer New York Yankees pitcher, won his first start for Detroit Sun- day, holding the Boston Red Sox to four hits and taking a 1-to-0 de- cision from Ed Morris. The game was called because of darkness after six Innings. Morris allowed only two hits, but an error by Rhyne followed by Alexander's single brought in the winning run in the first inning. Pald attendarice was 26,505--the largest crowd ever to seen the Red Sox play here. Toronto Divides Twin Bill Toronto, June -9+-1It" required a brilliant = pitching. effort by Guy Cantrell to give the Leafs one game of the series with the Royals, which concluded at the Stadium on Saturday afternoon with a double header, Cantrell opposed Herb Thormahlen; Montreal's previously unbeaten southpaw, and the local right-hander held the Royals to four hits and did not allow them a run. The final score was 2 to 0. Eddie Phillips doing some pro- digious pelting of the old spheroid to give the O"Neillmen the neces- sary counters. The Royals took the second game by 6 to 4, and made it three out of four in the series, There were no Cantrells or Phillips in the Tor- onto battery for the abbreviated contest. 'Manager O'Neill sent in Johnny Prudhomme and Bill Stein- ecke and neither of them qualihea for any laurel leaves. Prudhomme was hit all over the lot by the vis- itors, who collected an even eleven smackers from his offerings, while Steinecke was guilty of one of the dumbest plays seen at the Stadium this season, Guy Cantrell gave a great display opposing Thormahlen. He had to be good for the stalwart Montreal left-hander, who had previously won seven straight games, pitched well enough to win half a dozen or. dinary games. Cantrell let .the Royals down with four scattered hits and struck out nine of them, He tanned the last five batters to face him while the fans were cheer- ing wildly. On two occasions Mont. real runners reached third base, hut they got no farther. In addition to the fine pitching feat, .Cantrel) supplied a three-base hit to score Eddie Phillips' with the Leafs' secs ond run In the eighth inning. Phil- lips had previously doubled. HEALTH MINISTER GOES TO SENATE Hon. J. H. King and Hon. J. E. Sinclair Fill Remain- ing Vacancies Ottawa, June 9--Four Cabinet Ministers remained in Ottawa over the weekend and will probably meet again early this week to put through such, appointments to the Cabinet as may be decided upon. Saturday they passed the Orders- in-Council filling the two remaining vacancies, in the Senate. The new Senators, whose appointments were officially confirmed are: Hon. J, BE.

H: King, Minister of Pensions and National Health, who sat in the last Parliament for Kootenay East, Bri- tish Columbia, Leafs Win And Lose At Buffalo Buffale, June 9--After a few minutes less than five hours of tedi- ous pulling and hauling the Buffalo Bisons and the Toronto Maple Leafs reached a draw verdict in thelr double encounter yesterday after- noon at Bison Stadirm. Given a sound thumping in the opener, due to the classical twirling of "Hoot" Gibson, coupled with their own mis- erable fielding, the Bisons came back and eked out a close verdict, the game requiring two extra innu- ings for a decision, The scores were 10 to 1 and 7 to 6. Thirty-one men took part in the hectic second encounter, and tne Bisons had men left on in every one of the nine Innings. Not less thas two men were left stranded in sev- en of the nine heats, "Hoat" Gibson, clever right- hander. of the Leafs, pitched base- ball of superfine quality in the op- ener. and it was only in the last inning, when the big fellow relent- ed behind a lead of ten runs, that the Herd averted n shutout. Gib- son made an ambitious start for a no-hit, mno-run performance by blanking the Bisons without the vestige of a safety for first six in- nings and he had Mueller out of the way in the seventh betore Thomas poked a bouncer just out of Cote"s reach for the first hit, Gibson whiffed six batsmen and up to this stage the monotony of Bison outs on easy offerings testified viv- idly tp Gibson's craft, Barrett and Grube edded two singles to the Bis- on hit total in the eighth and runner reached third base for the first time, in fact, the bases actual- ly became loaded, but no damage resulted. In the ninth Moore whacked a double and ventured home on Tom- lin's single to blot out the shutout: insult, Frank Grube also rammed his second single in this stanza to bring the Bison hit fotal to six on the game, Whether it was the influence of Gibson's grand twirling or some other agency, the Bisons checked in one of their most miserable per- farmances of the year in more ways than one. Leo Mangum was oppos- ed to Gibson, and the support ac- corded him was atrocious. Light Bisons errors cluttered up the game against a spotless exhibi- tion by the Leafs. Thomas was the worst offender in the field, com- mitting three blunders, while two misplays by Grube caused a heap of trouble. Mangum, Moore and Sax also erred badly. GAPONE'S HATED RIVAL MISSING "Bugs" Moran and Five of His Lieutenants Are Thought Killed Chicago, June 9---Brutal murder of another grangster chieftain sent police last night on a& checking-up tour of 'the underworld which re- sulted in the announcement that six more of the city's notorious racketeers were missing. All were believed to have been killed. Their bodies, said police, may have been burned in the rumored gangland crematory or they may have been tossed into the Chicago drainage canal, as was that of Eugene "Red" McLaughlin, found in the water last night. : The missing: George "Bugs" Moran, north side gang leader and hated enemy of "Scarface" Al- phonse Capone, Leo Mongoven, Moran's bodyguard. Renpit Bennett, who came from New York to join Moran. Willis Higgins, who took up big time Chicago raketeering after coming from St. Paul, Ted Newberg, night club impressario and lieutenant of Moran. All of them, said police, probably were executed by Capone gunmen after they had rebeled against the recent reorganization of the under- world with the slogan, "All for Al and Al for all." A certain John Jones had been a 20- years' abstainer, but fell from the ways of grace and worshipped the vinous god with the fervor of a per- vert, Fecling the need for recuperation he sent his boy to an adjacent host- lery for a bottle of whiskey, ° "But," cried the hotel proprietor, "who's it for?" » "For my father," said the boy. "Nonsense! Your father is a total abstainer, and has been to my know- ledge for longer years than you've "Well, at all events, he sent me for "What does he wast it for?" "To let you into a secret," said the boy, ashamed to tell the truth, "he's going fishing, and he wants the cork to use for a float." The philanthropic lady was visiting a school, To test the brightnes of a group of rather poor pupils she ques tioned : "Children, which is the greatest of all virtues?" No one answered. "Think a little, what is it IT am do- ing when I give up time and pleasure to come and talk with you for your own rood?" A grimy fist went up, "Well, what am I doing little boy?" "Please, ma'am, hLuttin' inl" was the reply.' Additional Sport on Page 9 | Gallant Fox and Sande Clinch Title Belmont Park New York, June 9 --Gallant Fox, with the bruised and bandaged Karle Sande in the saddle, answered the challenge to their greatness Saturday by scoring a smashing triumph in the rich Belmont stakes and capturing the three-year-old championship of the American turf beyond the shadow of a doubt. This was the big test for William Woodward's big bay son of Sir Gal- lahad 111., and Gallant Fox met it by running the legs off Harry Pay Whitney's famous Whichone, the favorite, in a finish that was start- ingly decisive in every respect, The Fox and Sande outsmarted and outran the star of the Whitney stable to win by four good lengths in a common gallop. Only four horses ran in the rain that spoiled an otherwise colorful scene, but the Fox galloped through it as comfortably as he did in the Kentucy Derby a few weeks ago. James Butler's Questionaire was third, eight lengths -back of the Fox and W. J. Salmon's Swinfield fourth, thirteen lengths behind the winner. A crowd of nearly 50,000 specta- tors, alternately drenched, thrilled and surprised bv the sequence of unexnected events, saw Sande ride the Fox to the Colt's fourth succes- sive triumph as a three-year-old, completing a triple conquest of the three hig claseics-- Preakness, Ken- tacky Derby and Belmont, In previous turf history only one other thoroughbred, Sir Barton, in 1919, has registered this "grea achievement.
