Bye Whitby's elongated cat- cher, saved his team from a com- plete shutout when he grabbed onto one of Whitely"s slants in the sixth inning and drove it far into the distance for a homer. 'This was the only run to cross the plate, but the Whitby crowd sure cheered this effort. Whitely Hurls Well "Big Boy" Whitely was in fine fettle last night and he set the 'homesters down in fine style. He silowed only six hits and no more than one to a man. He struck out nine batters, three in one in- ning. Besides being in fine form himself, his teammates were right in step and as a result there were never more than, five batters face him in a single in- ning. Up until the fifth inning. when the score was still only 1-0 it was a very good game and bid fair to be the tid-bit of the season but suddenly the Mike's Place boys found their batting eye and from then on it was just too bad, scor- ing nineteen runs in three in- nings. Home runs by Hall, two in one inning, Hurst, and long hits by Gay, Peterson and Knox "put the Oshawa team well out.in front. Mayne, the Whitby hurler, was just a little too erratic and when the opposition got to him. in the fifth, he became wild and issued &. number of harmful walks, An unusual part of the game was the batting results of White- iy the winning hurler.

The result of that stroke causes the harm good. Realize the deeper significance of each shot you play, for it has an important bearing on each point vou win or lose, and consequently a real significance on the results you attain. Have a reason. for every ball vou hit. Choose your play long before the ball comes to vou. If von determine the ball should go to you opponent's backhand corner on the next shot--play it there re- gardless of where he may place his shot. Plays and the ability to make them is a question of mental atti- tude, habit, and practice of thinking correctly, 'The successtul result is a confident and happy tennis player, When once the beginner has learn- player or 'ed the fundamentals of "how to hit the ball", he should learn to play every shot with a definite purpose in mind. The habit of training the mind is as necessary as practising strokes There ate defensive and offensive plays. Those which are defensive are used for the purpose of keeping vour opponent from putting over his winning stroke and also taking the "sting" out of his attack. Plays which are offensive are used to manoeuvre your opponent into an insecure position, where he is at the least advantage to himself, In this manner you make vour op- enings through which ts score.

Toronto fang can heap praises on Johnny Allen, who was a Bear tames as a pitcher with Jersey City. Allen bad plenty of stuff in the early innings and what was knocked back was taken care of by outfielders, par- ticularly Jerry Walker, whose backhand catch which resulted in a double play in the ninth in- ning with the score 2 to 2, saved the day for the Leafs.

SOFTBALL TEAMS WARNED ABOUT TOURNEYS Guelph, June 12.--Any soft- ball players or teams participating in softball tournaments without receiving the sanction of the On- tario - Amateur Softball Associa- tion, will be immediately placed on the suspended list was the de- cision arrived at by the sub-com- mittee of the O.A.S.A. at a meet- ing presided over by Major G. C. McArthur of Guelph here to-day. This decision was the result of disclosures made that many tour naments have been taking place throughout the province and of which the association knew noth- ing, and at which it was alleged cash prizes were awarded. Several of these reports are being investi- gated, and it is possible that sev- eral suspensions may result. A warning has been issued hy the O.A.S.A, to affiliated associa- tions not to grant permission for their teams to enter these tourna- ments until they make sure that the tournamen has been sanction- ed by the parent body. Deglane wins First 2 Falls from Koloff Toronto, June 12.--Henri De glane, who claims the world's wrestling championship, convinc- ed about 4,000 fans at the Arena Gardens last evening that he com- pares with the best when he drop- ped Dan Koloff for two straight falls. Deglane, after his victory cn a foul over Ed Strangler Lewis, which gave him the right to class himself as title-hglder, was not considered worthy of the. honor but he proved by beating XKoloff that he is a highclass wrestler, who will be a mighty hard man to beat. The ghow was a good one all through, Einar Johanenson tying up Al Baffert in knots in the first round to gain the decision while Pat McGill outlasted Frank Alt- man in a rough and tumble semi- final, McGill just battered and hanged his opponent around until he was softened up enough for a merry-go-round twirl and slam. McGill did not confine all his rough play to his rival slipping Referee Jack Forbes the occasion- al jolt and shove, which did not meet with the approval of either the fans or the Ontario Athletic Commission and after the bout Le was fined $100, Speed and Science Deglane displayed a combina- tion'nf speed and science that off- set Koloff's treacherous arm throw. Early in the match Ko- loff picked up Deglane for heavy slams, hurling him over the ropes five times, while on the first heave he was tossed off the platform, Deglane, with almost acrobatic agility, took the slams without any damage, and always returned on the aggressive before Koloff could get properly set to meet him. On hig trip' off the ' plat- form he was back in the ring al- most on the bounce. Koloff's only offensive was his arm heave, and after a few tosses Deglane kept away from it, fore- ing most of the wrestling on the mat, keeping off his feet as much as possible. Deglane's speed won him the first fall when he twirled in a slam. reversed the hold and smo- thered Koloff before he had a chance to adjust himself. The first fall came in 25 minutes. The second round only lasted five min- utes when Deglane, with a back fiip spread Koloff on the mat, De- glane made a better showing against Koloff than any other man here, with the exception of Gus Sonnenberg, who beat him twice on the local mat with the flying tackles. Falcons Win Good Game From Times Last Night Winners Play Superior Ball| Throughout to Win Vic- tory--Game Is Featured by Several Clever Plays, But Errors Prove Costly to Losers Falcons defeated the "Newsies" at the Motor City Stadium last night in a scheduled league game, with a score of 14 to 6. The win- ners proved themselves to be the better team in every department and their victory was clear-cut and decisive. Too many errors was the main reason for the Time's defeat. The "Newsies" started out right and scored one in the first and anoth- er in the second. The Falcons were handed three runs in the second inning. The runners had got on base by hits but they were scored on errors. A couple of wild throws allowed all three runners to score. The winners got another unearned run in the fourth but after that they step- ped right out and piled up a com- fortable lead by means of good hits. Two Big Innings "Rocky" Guiltinan did the hurling for the losers and except fer two frames, the fifth and sixth he had the hard hitting Falcons pretty well under control He mixed them up nicely and was given fair support by his team. In the, fifth and sixth, Falcons scored eight rung three and five. They got eight hits in these two innings and won the game right | there. Guiltinan tightened up again and held on until the end | of the game but his team could | not get enough runs. Wills, who also went the route, pitched for the winners. "Lefty" was erratic at times, almost to the point of wildness, but just when it seemed that he was about to lose control of the game, after issuing a couple of walks, he ral- lied, and pulled through. He pulled himself out of a couple of tough spots and deserves credit fcr the victory. The winners played great de- fensive ball and the "Newsies" had to fight for almost every run they scored. It was a good game, interested and punctuated with some sparkling plays. The Ei- liott Bros. drew the limelight for the winnerg, hoth making some fine catches. Little and Trott supplied the fielding gems of the evening, two beautiful running catches Shelenkoff and Topp- ings also looked good on their plays. Ed. Cornish was the best hit- ter of the night, getting four hits and a walk out of five trips to the plate for a perfect aver- age. Amsbury got a nice homer. Theo. Elliott was best. for the winners, getting four hits out of five. Grey had three hits.
