G into the inning they had a t run lead, but the five run mar- | gin with which they emerged, off- set a valiant three-run rally which the Leafs staged in their portion of the concluding frame. Barnes was hammered for fourteen hits during his tenure of toil. "Hammered" expresses it. Most of the Reading drivers were solid smashes to the out- field. With one out in the ninth, they produced four in succession, by "Rabbit" Glenn Leibhardt was brought into;the game at that stage.

Strong came to bat three times and Shiver twice ihird Whitman. Cricket Notes The local cricket club opened the season in fine style by defeat- ing Scarboro, to the comfortable tune of nine wickets on Saturday last, at Lakeview Park, The morning storms had not af- fected the playing pitch in any way, although the light could have been better. Larmouth won the toss and sent Scarboro into bat. Lindeay and Wilcox opened the innings with Hodgekinson and Pickup consti- tuting the attack. Lindsay was missed twice when he had scored six, but after reaching 19, he put one into the hands of W. Sargant at point, and the first wicket went down. The bowlers got down to busi- ness and they proved too good for the batsmen, runs coming slowly, and wickets falling frequently, Frank Whitfield, & new men in the local team this year, made his debut in fine style and captured four wickets. He howls a catch ball, and the batsmen fell for the trap. v He got two wicket in his first over, and was bowling down a good length ball. Only three men were clean bowled, all taken by J, Pickup. The fielding had tighened up and the boys were on their toes, and all the catches given were taken in fine style. i After Lindsay had left, no other batsmen proved up, and the team was dismissed for a total of 47 runs. The usual pair Larmouth and J, Chappell opened the innings for Oshawa, After scoring 11 runs, Larmouth put his leg. in front of 1931 Brand New Chevrolet De Luxe Sedan ROSS, AMES AND GART.

Ladies' softball team, formerly the Chevs, - will clash with Miss "Bobby" Rosenfeld's Maple Leafs, 1930 Senior cham- pions of Ontario, at 6.45 p.m., sharp. The Oshawa Ladies' softball teams have been practising faith- | fully for some time now but the | first time this year that a real! game will be played. The Falcons | have lined up a smart softball | team and they should be able to give the fast Maple Leaf team a real 'argument. With such well known softball players as the El- liott sisters, A. Walker, H. Holm- es and many others, the Falcons Will present a line-up formidable enough to give any team a batle. The Maple Leaf is one of the smartest ladies' softball teams 'which has ever been organized In Toronto. They will put up an ex- well worth seeing and no doubt there will be a good crowd on hand to- night, when the umpire calls "Play BaN." The admission being charged is 15 cénts.

The King's Plate (it was the Queen's Plate then) had royal patronage from its be- ginning in 1860, and has come to be the classic of the Canadian Turf, with the same appeal in Downs or the at at Epsom Derby Derby Kentucky Downs, And like all great horse races, the King's Plate has its glorious uncertainties. For a time during the winter it looked as thougn the 1931 Plate would be a walk- over for R. W, R, Cowie's fine colt Frothblower. * blower, by Cudgel, out won four four times out of his eight races as a two-year-old last season, The only horses to beat him were th Seagram Stabl Spherette and Cannie Smythe's Rare Jewel. And both Spherette and Rare Jewel died during the Winter. Frothblower however, will face strong opposition when, the barrier is sprung and the field is off on the mile and an eighth race which has $10,000 added to the King's 50 Guineas waiting at tue finishing post. The Seagram Stable holds a strong card in Freethinker, Gelader and Toe Dance. The Thorncliffe Stable, winners with Shorelint two years ago, have a promising pair ef contenders in Bronze and Oil Rite. Ryland H. New, winner last year with Aymond,' pins his hopes on the four-year-old Par Excellence and the three-year- old Royal Guest. Besides the eight named, there if always the possibility of surprise from the lesser-known runners. Venerable History The King's Plate hLegan as ¢ mile and a half race, the same distance 2s the Epsom Derby. The royal donation of 50 guineas had been received from Quuen Victoria in 1859, upon the peti- tion of the Toronto Turf Club. The first "Queen's Plate' was of this part of the Dominion as the | Churchill | from the early days eof horse-rac- starts and was second | run at Carleton, nowy West Tor- onto, 4n 1860, and was won by James White's Don Juan. In 1864 the race was movel to Guelph and for some years there- after was shifted around at the whim of the political powers- that-be. London, Hamilton, St. Catharines, Newmarket (near Tcronto), London, Whitby, Kng- ston, Ottawa, Barrie, Hamilton, Woodstock, Woodbine, Prescott, London, Picton, Ottawa, Wood- Line and London--so the thriving young classic was shuttled hack and forth between 1864 and 1852, But in 1883 the Queen's Plate came hack permanently to Wood- bine Park, now a beautiful racing plant in the East End of Toron to on the shores of Lake Ontario. The distance was cut to a mile and a quarter in 1887 and again in 1924, was reduced to one mig and a furlong. The money value of the race had increased with its prestige until it carried $15,- 000 ddded by the Ontario Jockey Club but this was reduced this year to 0,000. On t long roll of wiane ing in the province until 1950, the Seagram stable shone mo conspicuously with 18 victor the latest of them with that fin: filly Young Kitty, in 1928, James White, whose horse won the in- itial race of the series, repeated three times later--in 1863, 1867 and 1868. But no stable is likely to repeat the Seagram record, which inalhded eight consecutive victories between 1891 and 1898, Notable Years Ryland H. New's Troutlet, win- ner in 1927, holds the time re ord since the King's Plate wa reduced to a mile and an eighth. Troutlet covered the distance in| 1.56 4-56. When it was a mile and a quarter the honors had een shared among three horses--Si. Bass, 1911, Belle Mahone 1917, and Springside, 1918, who all travelled the route in 2.08 4-5, contrasted with the times of be- twen 2.14 and 2. 22 hung up jn the latter part of the 19th cen- tury. As for the long shots -- old turfgoers remember no outsider comparing to Maternal Pride, who won in 1924 for H. 8. Wil- son at about 95 to one. Province-Breds Only The King's Plate is for three- year-olds -and upward owned by a British subject resident in On- tario, that have been foaled, rais- ed and trained in the province and have never won a race, ex- cept as two-year-olds, have never left Canada, and have never been for a period of more than three months, out of the Province. Thus, the four and five-year-olds in the race on Saturday---notably the four-year-old TFreethinker and W. E. Bulmer's five-year-old Postville--have not only failed to win since they were juveniles but have had to give weight to the three-year-olds. Freethinker in- | deed was a highly regarded can- | didate for last year's Plate, jut hurt his knee in training and did not race as a three-year-old.
