This victory puts the "Newsies" in a tie with Mike's Place for the leadership of the "Big ;Four" group and they are also at the top of the South On- tario League standing. There was a good crowd at {he stadium last night to see the sec- cnd of the "Big Four" Leagug games and they were rewarded with a real hard-fought battle which wes in doubt right up un- t'l1 the final putout. Losers Outhit "Newsies" An idea of the brand of. soft- ball played can be deduced from the fact that the Tannery out- hit their rivals and were still de- feated.

Both pitched great ball} but ils doubtful if ever the old saying-of "not how many hits but when," was more clearly prov- ed; Art. Gower allowed only five hits during the entire game, which is smart pitehing in any league. 'Tlree of the five hits were made in the fourth inning, when the "Newsies" got three hitg and two walks for a tota! of five runs, enough to win the game. Magill did mot do sp well in 'this respect.

Starting with this great piece of defensive work the "Newsies"' displayed the best fighting spirit they have shown yet. The entire team swung right in behind Magill and backed his fine hurling with stellar( support and although the Tannery had three more hits before the game nded, they never got another un. Five beautiful catches in the '"Newsies" outfield was the feature of the final two innings, when Tannery were trying vain- ly to drive the ball out of the Stadium, and looked as if they might succeed. N It was a great way to finish up a game. The "Newsies put on an extra spurt and held their lead very capably. Magill gave the winners a great lead by holding the hard-hitting Tannery team to two runs, up until the seventh icning. His teammates protect- ed the lead from then on. The reason that Tannery oul- hit the Times and still lost was because the "Newsies" got their five hits when they meant runs. Three hits in one innings scored erough runs to win the game. Cower had eight walks and of these, four scored. Magill issued only three free passes and oaly one scored. There were only two errors made during the game.

The Keys got another hit in the third when Quellich doubled, but 'were shut out the remainder of the way. The Leafs pounded three Read- ing pitchers for 15 hits, driving the starter, Geo.

WILLARD CROCKER CELEBRATES RETURN BY WIN OVER MARTIN Montreal, June 25.--The re- turn to form of one of Canada's greatest' tennis players, Willard F. Crocker, member of several Davis Cup teams, featured the Province' of Quebec tennis cham- pionships here yesterddy. In the quarter-finals of the "Men's singles Crocker met ' and over- came Walter Martin of Regina, a student at the University of To- ronto, in the greatest$upset of the day. 4 8 Following his long retirement from competitive tennis, Crocker was not expected to go far and ; Every Day Not prizes==but free gifis-- 'and you have an equal op- (portunity with everyone "else, no miatieh what your score--no matter if you 'have never played before.

The battle swayed back and fourth until it was tied at 10-all and 11-all. Crocker then ran out two games, The third set was tied at: winning strokes left. "Newsies" Win "Big Four". Game There was another good crowd at the Motor City Stadium last night to see the "Big Four" game between Tannery and Times and the spectators saw a great exhibition bi defensive ball. The Tannery outhit the "Newsies" 11 to 5 and yet lost the game 8 to 4, despite the fact that they didn't have a single error. The feature of the game was the smart work turned in by the Times' outfield, Little, Amsbury, and Trott. * * * * Two Softball Games Tonight Two big softball games are billed for this evening, weather permit- ting. Whitby will bring over their fact team to do battle with the "Newsies" Jat Alexandra Park while down at Cowan's Park, the Bell Telephone and the Tannery will hook up. Both games will start 2t 700 pm. These two South Ont, League games should produce plenty of action and both parks should be well attended. * * * * Oshawa Seniors in Toronto Oshawa's Senior lacrosse team plays Toronto Native Sons, at Ul- ster Stadium, tonight. This game should be a good one and although the Motor City crew have not the experience of the Native Sons' all- star collection, they can be relied upon to put up a good battle. * * * * Oshawa City Play League Leaders Oshawa City soccer team, now second place in the Ist Division T. and D. League, will travel to Toronto on Saturday where they will meet Swansea, the league leaders, in a scheduled game, A victory for the City will put them up on top and they are going to do their best. The following players arc asked to be at the corner of King and Prince Streets on Saturday, not later than 12.50 p.m.; Howells, Rodgers, Saxby, McLeod, Dunstall, Lobban, Brown, Bredin, Lappin, Head, Munro, Sing er and Cox. * * * * Chosen Friends vs. Falcons Encouraged by the Malleables' victory over the Falcons, the Chosen Friends are going out to hand the Falcons a beating, tomorrow night at' Motor City Stadium, when these teams clash in a league game. It should be worthy of a good crowd. * * * * Ukrainians Defeat Benedicts The Ukrainian Church League softball team defeated the King St. Benedicts in a league game last night, the score being 28 to 9. Ben- edicts failed to display their usual form and fell before the superior hitting of the winners, Four homers were rung in by the winners. A 'double play was the feature of the losers' play. * * * * St. Simon's Star Signs With Toronto Pros. Billy Davis, long a hard worker in the mterests of laciouse, star player as well, regretted by St. Simon's. Davis isn't very big, but he is fast and shifty, and he was the "Babe" Dye of the national game, his' shot being remarkably fast. ho a It has been reported that the Brampton Excelsiors,--or rather, what is left of them--will stick together despite offers to star players made by the Leafs. This may or may not be corrcct, but it is worth while noting that Jerry Kendall, Norman Zimmer, "Red" Spencer and Bert large watched the locals at work last night, and it is said that next Saturday this quartet will play their last amateur game, Teddy Reeve of the Montreal Maroons was also among the specta- tors, and in a fanning bee he stated that Toronto will be the team to beat if they line up the men whose services they are seeking. In Heeve's opinion Norman Zimmer has no superior as a home player, and the Leafs have acted wisely in trying to get his name on the dot- ted line. Reeve should know what he is talking about, as he has played with and against Zimmer, information about this had been carefully guarded. A few years ago Davis was awarded a medal for being the most valuable man to lacrosse At that time he was with St. Simon's, and also found time to be guide and counsellor to four Maitland teams.--Taken from the Globe.

Bobby Pearce, already holder of the Oiympic and British Empire sicgle sculls titles, an Australian who now makes Hamilton, Ont, his home, seeks to make a clea sweep by 'capturéng the historic old classic of the Royal Henley Regatta, emblematic of the werld"s amateur single sculls championship. The regatta takes place from July 1 to 4. Pearce comes from the Doinin- ion in the wake of stalwart Can- adians who have battled promin- ontly and with success over the beautiful but gruelling Henley ccurse since 1927. In that ycar Joe Wright, Jr., of Toronto, made a gallant attempt and was un- lucky to lose. He progressed to the final and was beaten by R. T. lee, of England, when his oar cought in a rope from a boom. Wright returned in 1928 with Jick Guest, also of Toronto, de- feated Guest in the semi-final anc then turned the tables on Lee to win the Diamond Sculls. In 1929 Wright and Guest again competed and Wright was beaten in the final by a yard hy I. Gunther, of Holland. Last year it was Jack Guest's turn Guest made a brilliant showing and easily defeated Gerhard Beot- zelen of Germany, by 200 yards in the final. The "modern" invasion of Hen- ley of course is not the first time the Dominion has figured in the great Henley Classic. Lou Scholes of Toronto became a hero by tak- ing the prized trophy to the Do- minion for the first time back in 1904, after a brilliant triumph over A. H. Clouette of London. The next Canadian competitor was Bob Dibble, Toronto, who met defeat in the final of his year, and then Hilton Belyea of Saint John, N.B., who was de- feated in his heat. Classics of Rowing The Royal Henley Regatta re- mains the greatest event of the year in the rowing world. Since 1839--Henley thus celebrates its centenory in a few years --- the picturesque stretch of the Thames kas been churned hy the blades of champions. As in other Eng- lieh sporting classics, there have been frequent and sometimes suc- cessful foregn invasions, not in- c'uding in these of course the challenge from the Mother Coun- try's Dominions. The Henley Regetta bears some similarity to those famous insti- tutions--the Grand National, the Derby. the University hoat race ~--in the modesty of its begin- nings. Like the other events Henley has grown in prestige with each succeeding year, its fame increasing by the quality of the competition it has develop- ed. 'The regatta was founded at a public meeting here 92 years ago, when two challenge cups were purchased, the Grand Chal- lcnge Cup and the Town Chal- lerge Cup, the first for eight- oared crews and the second for four-oared crews. The Town Chal- lenge Cup was a district race and in 1840 came another similar event, while the Steward's Chal- lenge Cup for four oared crews wee added in 1841. Henley's four great open events are: The Diamond Sculls, founded 1844. The Silver Goblets, founded 1845. The Steward's Challenge Cup, fours, founded 1841, The Grand Challenge eights, founded 1839, The other four events are: The Visitors' Challenge Cup, fours, 1847, and the Ladies Chal- lenge Plate, eights, 1845, schools 2d colleges in the United King- om. singles, doubles, Cup, The Thames Challenge Cup, eights, 1868, barred to the win- ners of the Grand Challenge Cup. The Wyfold Challenge Cup, fours, 1865, barred to winners of the Steward's Cup. The races are all rowed against the stream, and the time usually occupied by the winning Grand Cliallenge Cup crew for the mile and 550 yords--the course is a pattern for Henley Courses the werld over--is within a few sgc- onds of seven minutes. The Dia- mond Sculls' time {is between eight and nine minutes, the fast- est time having been 8.14 get by W. D. Kinnear, of London in 1911. Guest came with 15 sec- cnds of this time last year. Pearce a Champion Australia, as well as Canada, will have peculiar interest in the 1931 racing for the Diamond Sculls. Pearce is a naturally great sculler. He was not eli- gible for the Diamond Sculls of 1928, which he watched just be- fore he crossed to Amsterdam and there won his way through to the Olymnoic single sculls cham- pionship. Wright and guest were eliminated in the heats in that great Olympic competition. In 1930, when the British Em- pire Games were instituted at Hamilton, Ont., Pearce had de- cided to remain in Canado perm- anently, and he established his home at Hamilton. He. had lit- tle difficulty in capturing the first British Empire single sculling championship. Now Pearce enters the Dia- mond Bculs an acknowledged champion, and one of the very few who are favorites in their first appearance in the classic. He will have good competition and is not making the mistake of under-rating his opponents. Am- ong them are Bradley, of Pem. broke College, a powerful scul- ler. whose strength was used up In crew racing in the last Hen- ley. and T. A. Brocklebank of Cambridge, famous stroke of the Light Blue Varsity crews. The actual Diamonds entrants will be revealed in the draw just before the regatta opens. 'earce has been over here many weeks and has become So accustomed to racing on the slower" waters here. He has dominated all opposition in pre- Henley regattas at Putney, Wal- ten-on-Thames and Marlow, easi- ly winning the final of the senior singles sculls events at these re- gattas, At Marlow on June 20 he trounced Stephens of the Lon- don rowing club and covered the one mile in four minutes and 10 seconds. At Walton-on-Thames he beat E. L. Thompson, L.R.C., in six minutes and 41 seconds. Walter Orbenessor, of Hamil- ton, Pearce's coach, has been keeping a keen eye on his charge and Pearce is fit and ready for the best sculling of his brilliant ca- reer. The Australian-Canadian is also very popular among Eng- lish sportsmen and the British public generally.
