Game Oshawa Ladies Softball 'Team Proves No Macth for Snappy Maple Leafs --Winners Play Smart Ball Throughout and Always Dominate Play - A re 3 "Bobby" Rosenfeld and her Maple Leafs were jnst a little too good for the Falcons, at the Motor City Stadium, last night and the Oshawa team was forced to accept the short end of a 17 to 1 count. +The visitors flashed real form and proved to. be a high class softball team, which knew what it was all about. The Falcons, despite the fact that they have been practising for quite a while, could not see to hit their stride and misplays were fairly common. Miss Elliott pitched good ball but her support was ragged at times and the visiting hurlers were much too good for the Oshawa batters. Miss Rosenfeld was good at first base. The Oshawa team lined up as fol- lows: M. Amsbary, -., Viv, Elliott, p., G. McComb, B. Morgan, 2b, E. Elliott, ss, C. Larson, 3b, A. Walker, 15, H. Holmes, c.f, H El- liott, r.f., and B. Blair, r.1\ WALTER MARTIN IS FIRST SON OF SASK. ON DAVIS CUP TEAM (By The Canadian Press) Regina, Sask., May 22.--Climb of 28-year-old Walter Martin, of Regina, to a position on Canada's Davis cup has been marked by a rugged fight along an impressive, if not meteoric path. Martin, nam- ed recently as one of the four on Canada's title team, brings the Davis cup honor to Saskatchewan for the first time. The rangy racquetist won his first major tourney in 1922, tak- ing the Saskatchewan junior title. The following year he lost his crown, but advanced to the semi- final round of Western Canada's open singles. In 1924, he was eliminated in the Canadian junior finals at Vancouver by Gilbert Runs. now ranked first in Can- ada. Martin sought the Canadian junior title once again the next year at Vancouver, but fell in the finals before Elsworth Vines, the Californian, who is now rated high among the America's prospects. Continued effort brought Martin the western Canada championship in 1928, repeating his victory in the Western hard court champion- ships in 1929 and 1930. Last summer in the east, where he is now a student at Osgoode Hall, Martin paired with Nunns to reach the finals of the Canadian doubles championship. The one- time junior rivals' fell before Fritz Mercur and J. G. Hall, crack American duo. But Martin's tour- ney play was so brilliant that he was ranked third in Canada by the 'mational committee. Early intuition by Dr. C. H. Weicker, Regina, for several years Saskatchewan tennis champion, has been accorded a major por- tion of the credit for young Mar- tin's showing on the courts. Mr. - Justice W. M. Martin, puisno judge of Saskatchewan's court of appeals, father of the student ten- nis-star and a clever player him- self, has also been instrumental in grounding the western Davis cupper in the net game. tl ---- NEW MARTIN NOW PLAYING Sr Shown at 2.30 - 7 - 9 . 25c : T 1931 Brand New Chevrolet De Luxe Sedan .

Phone 1160 |Hogsett Wins Battle From Red Wings Toronto, May 22.--Although he was touched for eleven hits-- one more than the Leafs got--Big Chief Elon Hogsett, the Indian southpaw, had enough mastery over the Rochester Red Wings to enable the Leafs to chalk up a 5-to-3 win in the first game cof the series at the Stadium yester- day afternoon. The O'Neillmen marshalled all their runs off Al Grabowski, once of the St. Louis Cardinals, in the four innings he worked. Mr. Grabowski retired from the scene of action in the fifth with nobody out, one run in and.two on bases, three solid singles having been pried from his flinging assort- ment in that frame. Following, as it did, a similar batting attack by the Leafs in the fourth in- ning, it was plain to see that Gra- bowski's retention in the zame was not helping the Rochester cause. Ira Smith toiled over the men- acing stretch for the Wings ang held the Leafs runless from then on, although they bunched *'hrec singles in the seventh without putting a runner across the plate. The Wings, with several new faces in their line-up, did not look as good, nor play as well as the champions of last season. Their defense was shaky in spots, the Leafs getting four of th e ten blows on infield chances. Grah- owski was inclined to be wild and walked four batters, two of them in the fourth, when the locals launched their first damaging at- tack on him. Up to that time, the visitors had been in front by reason of one run scored in the opening canto after two were out. But when the Leafs really went to work on Grabowski this lead was extinguished and the champions were always behind after that, Harris and Strong Lead Hitters Joe Harris and Ken Strong ac- counted for six of the Toronto team's hits dividing that number equally between them. Oshawa Lady Bowlers Open Clubhouse Wed. The ladies section of the Osh- awa Lawn Bowling Club will in- formally open their | new. club house on Wednesday evening of next week. The ladies, who had a most successful season last year are look: ing forward to a much more pros- perous summer, as they will be able to have quarters of their own. A new club house has been completed and fitted up for the use of the ladies and 'makes a fine addition to the property of the bowling club. This new club house will be used for the first time next Wednesday evening. All ladies who are interested in bowling as well as all those who are members: of the club are invited to opening.

With the increased in- terest that lias been manifest the la- dies section of the bowlers have cv- ery confidence that the summer will be a most successful one in every way. U.3. CITIES TURN BOROUGH SYSTEM Junior Board of Trade "Hears Lecture Montreal, May 22--After many years of complicated systems of civic administration, American cities are beginning to realize that the federated or borough system is the pest means of get- ting them out of their muhicipal difficulties even though that sys- tem is British in its conception and practice, Frederic Wright, director of the municipal service bureau told members of the civics committee of the Junior Board of Trade Tuesday night in the Board of Trade Exchange Hall. Mr. Wright spoke on "Munici- pal Systems in Other Lands' as the_third lecture in a series of nine to be given before the Jun- for Board of Trade every Tues- day. He described the systems of municipal government in Ger- many, Scotland, Ireland and in the United States. Armand Mat- hieu, K.€., honorary secretary of the City Improvement League. gave a brief addréss on muniéfpal government in France. Mr. Wright indicated that on the whole, local government:on the continent of Europe is re- sponsible to higher authority ra- ther than to the community, In the United States the forms of lo- cal government are difficult in- asmuch as every known system would seem to have been super- imposed 'one on the other.

Doubles Team Lose To French Team Auteuil, France, May 22-- W ith the wide open battle for the men's singles of the French hardcourt ten- nis championship opening today, and Henri Cochet ill on the side- lines, the mixed doubles teams took their last fling yesterday at the un- divided spotlight, Mnch to the amazement of the crowd, George Lott and Helen Ja- cobs of United States went down to defeat 'before Doris Metaxa, clever little girl from Marseilles, and Antoine Gentien, an excellent doubles playef, 3-6, 6-4, 6-1, while Johnny Van Ryn, and his wife, an- other United States pair, were elim- inated from the third round by two of - Great Britain's most promising vouths, Mary Heeley and Fred Per- ry, 6-4, 6-8; 6-4, Miss Ryan and Cllly Aussem, the German girl, advanced to the semi- finals in the women's doubles, de- feating Mrs. Phyllis Satterthwaite, and Muriel, Thomas of England, 6-4, 6-2.

'This system of local government still prevails in a large measure in the United States, notably in New York and Chicago where the mayors. are supreme in authority and the city councils little more than advisory bodies. In Germany, in order to un- derstand the civic form of gov- ernment there, one must under- stand the mentality of the people. Mr. Wright said. Tn a last anal- ysis it is seen that the control of the civic administration is en- tirely in the hands of the weal- thy classes, and the worker, knowing quite well that their votes will be thrown away; take little or no interest in its affairs. Mr. Mathieu indicated that civic government in France is largely that of delegated powers, the national government retain- ing control over many local func- tions which under the British sys- tem would come under the direct jurisdiction of municipal councils. A man with more wealth than sulture succeeded in having his son accepted for a celebrated pub- lic school.

The heavy-hitting game in which there were thirty-two safe hits, for forty-six bases, con- trasted sharply with the pitching exhibitions. by which the cham- pions won the first two encoun- ters. The winners' eighteen hits included home runs by Cochrane in the fifth, McNair in the sixth, and Simmons in the eighth, the latter two with one man on base. McNair went in in the fifth after Dykes was spiked by Johnson. Seven pitchers were used.

Babe Ruth led the Yankees to victory by hitting his fifth home run of the season, a triple and a double, The home run, Ruth's first since May 6, came in the first inning, after Combs had stretched his hitting streak through twenty games by smash- ing out a double. The Indians took the lead in the fourth in- ning, driving George Pipgras from the mound, but could not hold their margin, as two walke, an error and Chapman's single gave New York two runs in the sixth inning, Vernon Gomez, sec- ond of three Yankees pitchers, wag credited with the victory.

Canada has been taking part in this international contest, which the United States organized in 1900, ever since 1913. Until yes- terday no Canadian has achiev- ed the distinction of taking a | match with a member of a United A States Davis Cup team. To Marcel Rainville, of Mont- real, fell that honor yestordaw and in spite of the fact that in places the tennis was of a .ist- he nevertheless de- served his victory, in that he was quite distinctly superior in tac- tics on the afternoon play. Rain- ville defeated Sydney B. Wood, 19.year-old New York boy, who ranking player of the United States, three sets to wo. In the first match, Frank 3 Shields, the *"W. T. Tide the next few years, defeated Dr. Jack Wright of Montreal, in straight sets, §--6, 6--2, This game was by no n and as Shields is ed second in the United the Canadian veteran's perform was entirely commendabie. Rainville Comes Through But the second mateh was the one that must be brought for- ward to. premier position. It was admittedly not so good ten- Wright and Shields. Rainville was fac- ed with the necessity of winning or letting Canada be two down at the end of the first day, instead of playing aggressive tennis, as he can. Wood tried to tire Rain- ville out with a fast ball gome which the Montrealer could have kept up all night, The resuit wag that Rainville defeated Wood 3 sets to 2, 4--6, 6--4, 6--1, 2 --~--6. 6--4. At that Marcel almost beat himself. He persisted in irying the little drop sliot over the net, played so wonderfully by some of the United States players, by Richards of the Canadian team of eight. years ago and by Walter of | Martin now. The stroke is not a part of Rainville's repertoire, and yet he seems to persist in consids ering that it is, He lost many points this way during the Davis Cup trials. He lost at least 19 out of 20 of his efforts with that shot today. He either netted thé shot directly or else left an ab- solute set-up which his opponent killed. . Apart from that, his conirol | and cleverness were phenomenal. | Wood is considered of all the young players in the United States, the man with the finest tennis brain; and yet a scheme very definitely laid down by Wood was promptly accepted by Rainville, just as a gambit by chess--and Wood's chosen wea~ pon proved the boomerang which drove his opponent to victorys Jack Miner's Son To Get Tryout With Rochester Toronto, May 22--=Jasper: Miner, | son of Jack Miner, roler of the | Kin gsville, Ont, bird sanctuary; is being giver a tryout bythe Roches- ter Red Wings.
