When Centre St. went into a bad reversal of form last week they opened the whole pie right up, and unless they can stage a brilliant recovery in their next two games we pick North Sim- coe, if they can tighten up their play, to come out on top of the heap. In the Central section Mary St. seems to be out on top for the moment but Albert street still has plenty of time to knock them off the top rung, and for that matter so has King St. Down south the first place looks like a sure thing for South Sim- coe but look out for Cedardale. "Those boys down there are mighty 'wicked hitters and let them get a start and you can't stop them. Judging by the game Ritson put up against the leaders they too, must be reckoned as a serious threat by any team hoping to rep- resent the south in the league fin- The North Group looks like a sure thing for North Simcoe. They have a great little pitcher and are playing a more consistent brand of ball than either Centre or St. Gregory's. In the Central Division, Albert -3t. has so far defeated all comers and the chances are that they will jontinue to do so for the remainder of the season. And now, just look at the South group, anyone who wishes may pick the winner of that group and je welcome to the task of backing All teams are right in * lhere with both feet and try and anscramble them! GIRLS' SOFTBALL The Girls' Softball Committee of the Association, under the conven- orship of Miss Bearson, of North Bimcoe School, have everything lin- ed up for the opening of the Girls' Ball season next week. Assisting her on her committee are Miss aidlaw of Mary St., Miss Gillespie, of Centre St., Miss MacDonald of Cedardale.

Ld Rainville Wins Again ins Agai Toronto, May 9.--Marcel Rain- ville continues to show the way to the players who are competing in the trials for the Davis Cup team, which are being held on the courts of the Toronto Lawn Tennis Club, The little Montrealer has yet to suffer a defeat, triumphing yes- terday in three straight sets over Gilbert Nunns of Toronto, 6-3, 6-5, and 10-8. The match was re- plete with brilliant tennis, both players displaying much ability, Nunns fought desperately to ward off defeat in the third set, al- though on numerous occasions he lost points through '""'double faults." Rainville in his matches to date has shown a slight margin of sup- eriority over his opponents and his placement shots, especially in yes- terday's game, have been well $25 Scotland Woolen Mills 8AM ROTISH, Manager 11 Simcoe Street South 2 PANT SUITS.

Jim McMillan Wins Main Bout Toronto, May 9.--The Queens- bury AC. regained the prestige lust at their last wrestling show when they presented a well bal- anced card at the Arena Gardens last night and sent the crowd, which numbered close to 3,000, home well satisfied. McMillen defeated Casey Jerger of California, in 'straight falls after an exciting bout, while the semi-final was taken by Gino Garibaldit, Italian star, after 45 minues of gruelling wrestling with Jim Clinkstock, Cherokee Indian, The curtain-raiser left little to be desired in the line of action as far it went.

The fans were solidly behind Berger, and when- ever McMillen was weakened they urged his opponent on with lusty cheering. From the start McMillen tried to manhandle his assailant, but did not get far, for the Casey armlock was working to perfection. The well matched men seemed in 12 minutes and 50 | Toronto Leafs Get Their | _ First Shut-Out Victory | Art Mills Wins His Third Victory for Leafs -- To- ronto Gets First Shutout and Evens Series With the Skeeters--Shiver Breaks His Jinx Toronto, May®9.--Under a 14-hit power attack, which broke out in all its fury in the fifth inning, and some finished pitching by Art Mills, former Bison, the Leafs coasted to an 8--0 victory over Jersey Cit} yesterday. Five of the 14 hits, homer by Chick Shiver with Ken Strong on base, gave the Leafs six runs in the fifth at Berly Horne's expense. including a That inning brought about the finish of Horne, with Chicago Cubs and Los Angeles in 1930. Kenner Graf and Charlie Perkins saw ac- tion on the pitching mound after the departure of Horne. The success gave the Leafs an even break in the four-game series, and were cautious for some time, McMillen applied many leg holds, and at other times tried to trip Berger, but this all proved tg no avail, which is a whole lot better than it might have been, Mills, who not only turned in as good a pitching performance as did Jack Allen, Guy Cantrell and Frank Nekola earlier in the set, even if he did not strike out a bats, gained credit for the Leafs' first shutout win of the season. Mills scattered four hits over as many innings. Three Hits For Richardson Biily Rogell, who was twice passe ed, and Art Ruble were the only Leafs to go hitless, while Nolen Richardson who has been in a more or less batting slump clipped Horne for one single, and also Graf and Perkins each for one. Shivers drive for his homer car- ried the ball up against a sign board on top of the fence in left, well down, and broke the string of bad luck he had been having:in his long distrance slams since coming to the stadium. Ray Morehart hit a triple and Harry Davis a double for the Leafs' other extra base blows. Mills' brilliant effort was back- ed up with near errorless support with Davis' muff of a thrown ball putting the unassuming righthand- er in the only difficult spot he exe perienced all afternoon. As a matter of fact not a Skeeter advanced past second base and only one travelled that far up to the ninth when Davis' error gave Max West a life. Mills then walked Clan- cy, who was forced by Yoyng, West going to third.
