What the Falcons sid to. the O.M.L was just too bad an what the O.M.I. did to the Falcons was also bad and that's the kind of a game it was.

Each team scored enough us to ames but nei [Sin twa or The Falcons got. off to a flying start in the first innifigs with six runs, one a home by Ede. Elliott.

Malle- ables were a little better on the field but when at bat, they were not quite as good, getting only nine- teen hits. The errors, were not near as num- erous as many games have produc- ed but they nearly all occurred at times when an error was very cost- ly, Both hurlers who started, were just a little short on control and passed balls weer more numerous than usual E. Elliott in Relief Role Annie Walker started in the box for the winners and gets credit for a: victory in her first season's start as a. pitcher. She hurled nice ball, did not issue too many walks and kept them out of the groove, until the sixth inning. In that frame, O.M.I. snapped into an eight-run scoring 'streak, by means of two er- rors and six hits. Starting the sev- _enth, the first batter was safe on an error and the next walked. At this stage the score was 18 to 17 in' fa- vour of the Falcons and it looked as if the O.M.I. were going to pull out.in front. Ellen Elliott was call- ed.in from right field to do pitch- ing 'diify' and she certainly did it well, . A left-hander, with a natural, easy delivery, this girl apparently has the makings of a real softball pitcher. She retired the side in suc- cession and in the three innings, al- lowed only one run, in the ninth. It "looks as if the Falcons have dis- covered another good pitcher in the Elliott family. I, MacDonald was the most suc- cessful batter of the night, getting five hits out of seven. J. Wilson had four out of six, E. Elliott and M. Elliott each had four out of six to lead the winners.

The games will be played Sat- urday afternoon and Monday night at Homewood field. at John Hopkins University. St. John's which is coached by Dinty Moore, a former . Johns Hopkins stickman, has lost only one game in three years and that by a 3 to 2 count last season to Hopking in an upset. The Johnnies have played 33 games in the past three years and have scored 347 goals to 44 for their opponents. The Canadians will have the edge in experience, as their play- ers' ages run from 23 to 29 years, but St. John's is expected to more play. There will be little differ- ence in weight of the rival squads. Half of the Canadians will come from two teams, the Mon- treal Amateur Athletic Associa- tion and the Excelsiors of Bramp- ton, 1930 Dominion champions, each providing five men.

Leafs Lose To Bears 4-0 Newark. June 13.,--There is something radically wrong with this team that is representing To- rento in the linternational Lea- gue and Manager Steve O'Neill is one who recognizes the faet, but what to do about it is another thing. The Leafs displayed a lazy brand of ball here yesterday aad went down before Leo Mangum and the Newark Bears by the score of 4 to 0. The Leafs were devoid of that thing called '"'pep."" They were listless. Of course when a team is not hitting it appears worsa than ever. But other Toronto teams have come here and put on a show with inferior material and gained plenty of respect. O'Neill trusted the pitching job to ¥lon Hogsett, the Indian, and to Hogsett went the defeat throug his own carelessness, plus the indifference of his team mates. O'Neill, of course, misses the hard-hitting Ken Strong in. left field, said Mr. Strong, of former New York University football fame, being fofced to flirt with splinters on the bench because of an injured wrist, Poor Old Weatherman The power of Strong at bat is missed. .but Manager O'Neill also blames the weather for the poor performance of the Leafs. "We haven't been getting any- thing from the weatherman since ! the season began," declared the rotund pilot of the Leafs after the defeat today. We have struck all kinds and today came the warmth and sunshine and I guess the shock was too much for the boys.' Hogsett pitched a game that should have earned him a victory but he had a bad start. The Indian displayed his cunning from the second spasm on and all the Bears could get off him were three measly hits. All the while Leo Mangum, the Bruin Flinger, was pouring in a combination of slow and fast ones, a mixture that was not to the/ldiking of the Leafs, save Rich- ardson, who managed fo get two of the five hits made by the in- vaders, Mangum did not. allow a hit until the fifth inning when Rich- ardson singled to left.

Memories of the glorious days of Marathon events were revived as the loping Indian and the smooth-striding Shrubb fought again for supremacy. Time was when thousands would have paid to see this pair in action, the long-distance running craze having gained many followers. But professional Marathons soon passed along, just a mem- ory. Shrubb was the speedicst of them all, but the full Marathon distance was too much for him. As for Longboat, he was as good as he cared to be, but he didn't exactly take the sport seriously on occasions. Last night Longboat set the early pace, but Shrubb passed him "on the second lap, sprinted when nearing the finish, and won by, about twenty- five Yards--Taken from The Globe. * * * * > Tuxis vs. Trinity Monday Night King St. Tuxis softball team are billed to meet Holy Trinity team, at Cowan's Park on Monday night.

The complete schedule, for: the' Candas National Game Was Played Back In 1763 | | The Game 'of Lacrosse Has, Many Interesting Fea- tures and Facts Connect- ed With Its History-- Progress of Game Until Present: Stage Makes Fascinating Story As the ancient and honourable game of lacrosse, Canada's notion~ al sport, is at present attracting a great deal of attention; not only in this city, province and Domin- fon but in the United States, it will be of interest to all sport fans to learn something of the his- tory of the game. Lacrosse is the national game of Canada, although for the past ten years or more it has been a dead issue in some places where it used to flourish. But it is now being revived and bids fair to return to its former prominence. Lacrosse derives its name from the resemblance of the Jacrosso stick tn a bishop's erozier. The game originated by the Indian tribes of North America. In the old days. according to Catlin, the warriors of two tribes in their war paint, would form the sides, often 800 to 1,000 strong. The goals were placed from 500 yards to 1-2 mile apart with practically no side boundaries. A solemn dance preceded the game after which the ball wag tossed into the air and the two sides rushed to catch it on the "crosses,'"' similar to those now in use. The medicine men acted as um- pires and the squaws urged on the men by beating them with switch- es. The game attracted much at. tention from the early French set- tlers in Canada. In 1763, after Canada had become British, the game was used by the aborigines to carry out an ingenious piece of treachery. On the 4th of June when the garrison of Fort Mich- ilimackinac (now Mackinac) was celebrating the King's birthday, it was invited by the Ottawas un- der their chief, Pontiac, to witness a game of '"baggataway" (La- crosse). The players gradually worked their way close to the gates, when, throwing aside their crosses and seizing thelr toma- hawks, which the squaws sudden- ly produced from under their blankets, they rushed into the fort and masacred all the inmates ex- cept a few Frenchmen. The game found favor among the British settlers, but it was not until 1867, the year in which Can- ada became a Dominion, that G. W. Beers, a prominent player, suggested that lacrosse should be recognized as the national game, and the National Lacrosse Asso- ciation of Canada was formed. From that time the game has flourished vigorously in Canada and to a less extent in the United States. Association Formed 'In 1868 an English'lacrosse as- sociation was formed but although a team of Indians visited the Unit- ed Kingdom in 1867, it was not until some time later that 'the game hecame at all popular in Great Britain. Its progress was Much encouraged by visits of teams representing the Toronto Lacrosge. Club in 1888 and 1902, the methods of the Canadians and their wonderful short passing ex- cited much admiration. In 1907 the Capitals of Ottawa visited England. They played six matches, all of which were won by the Canadians. The match, North vs. South has been played annual- ly in: England: since 1882. A county:championship was inaugur. ated in 1905, league' matches in 1897 and. a match between the universities of Oxford and Cam- bridge has beeh played annually from.1881'to 1904. The ball used in lacrosse is made of india rubber sponge be-, tween 4 1-4 and 4 1-2 ounces in weight and measures'8 1-2 inches. in circumfernce.' The "crosses" is formed of a light staff'of hickory wood, the'top being bent to form a kind of hook from the tip of which a thang is drawn and mads fast to the shaft about two feet from the other end. The ova! triangle thus formed is covered with a network of gut or rawhide, loose enough to hold the ball but not to form a bag. At no past must the crosse measure more than twelve inches in breadth and no metal must be used in its manufacture. It may be of any length to suit the play- er. The goals are set up not les: than 100 nor more than 110 yards apart. They are set up in the middle of the 'goal crease" a space of twelve feet square mark- ed with chalk. A net extends from the top rail and sides of the post back to a point six feet he- hind the middle of the line bhe- twen the posts. Boundaries are agreed upon by the captains. Shoes may have india rubber soles but must be without spikes. Object of the Game The object of the game' is to send the ball. by means of La- crosee, through the enemy's goal posts 'as many times as possible during the two periods of play, precisely as in football and hoe- key. There are twelve players on each side In every position save that of goal, there are two men, one of each side whose duties are to mark and neutralize each oth- er' efforts. The game is opened bv the act of facing, in which the two centres. each with his left shoulder towards his opponent's goal. hold their La crosses, wood downwards on the ground, the ball being placed between them. When the signal is given the centres draw their la crosses sharply inwards in order to gain vossestion of the ball. The hall may be struck with the crosse, as in hockey, but the goal-keeper alone may handle it and then only to black and not to throw it. Al- though the ball may be thrown with the crosse for a long distance 220 vards is about the limit. Long throws are seldom tried. it being generally more advantageous for a player to run with the ball rest- ing on the crosse, until he can pass it to a member of his side who proceeds with the attack, either by running, passing to another or trying to throw the ball through the opponents' goal The crosse, usually held in both hands, is made to retain the ball by an in- genuius rocking motion only ae- quired hy practice. As there is no offside in la- crosse, a player may pass the ball to the front, side or rear. No charging is allowed, but one play- er may interfere with another by standing directly in front of him (body.check) though without holding, tripping or striking with the crosse. N, one may interfere with a player who is not in posses- sion of the hall. Fouls are pen- alized either by the suspension of the offender until a goal has heen scored or until the end of the game or by allowing the side of- fended against-a free position. When a free position is awarded, each player must stand in the po- sition where he is excepting the goal-peeker, who may get back to his goal. 'Any opponent who may be nearer the plaver getting the ball than five yards must re- tire to that distance. The one tion then proceeds with the game as he likes when the referee calls "play." This penalty may not be carried out nearer than ten yards from the goal. If the hall crosses a boundary, the referee calls 'stand' and all plavere stop where Baseball Results INTERNATIONAL Won LEAGUE ~ Lost P.C.
