Graham Each Score Three Goals St. Simon's, Toronto's strong en- #ry in the Senior section - of the 0O.A L.A. defeated the Oshawa tgam at Mator City Stadium on Saturday afternoon, before a small crowd of spectators, by a margin of 10 to 3 The game was not exceptionally fast and played beneath a torrid sun. Play flashed at times with | brilliant speed only to slip into a slow. pace, which almost resembled | an exhibition game. Oshawa Scores First Oshawa scored the first goal of | the game and looked to be in for a big afternoon but the Saints soon hit their real stride and were not long in asserting their superiority. The game was exceptionally fast in mid-ficld but neither of the attack- ing lines showed a great deal of clean-cut finish. J. Graham and Compkin stood head and shoul- ders above the remainder of the players for their ability to beat "Paddy" 'Shannon. Both of these players scored three goals and ev- ery one were real shots, which bulged the twine in no uncertain manner, giving Shannon little or no chance. These two boys know how to beat a defence and they know where and how to put the ball when they get it. The winners showed a slightly better defence than the locals but their real margin came in the mid- field play and on the attack. They carried their plays through 'with speed and plenty of *zip" and there was no denying success. Long Rest for Bain "Piper" Bain, the visitors' lanky home-field speedster, drew down a large penalty for a piece of crude and entirely unnecessary rough play. In pursuing I. Luke to the fence for a ball, he shoved Luke into the with terrific force and then staged a short round of fisticuffs. The disturbance was quickly and efficiently quelled by the officials." "Case" was given a 10-minute penalty while "Piper" re- lieved his fect for just twenty min- utes, Outside of this, the game was exceptionally clean, hard but not dirty, and well played, with both teams ready to give and take every- thing in good part Kavanaugh, Leighton and Nettle- ship were good on defence but the work "Gordie" Thom was out- standing and he gave Hobson great protection, and handled the team very nicely, from the Bela.

Hobson, the goalie, caught flat-footed away from the net, threw his stick and hit Daniels but the latter went on in and scored. Hobson was given a pen- alty. Four minutes later, Robertson beat two men and then drilled the sphere past "Pat" to even up the score. Cardinal missed a great chance when Daniels worked his way in and gave him a fine pass. Oshawa continued to press but Webber cleared and broke away fast, Compkin took the pass and put the Saints into the lead with a great shot, 2-1, The first period ended a minute later. After a minute of play in the sec- ond stanza, "Piper" Bain streaked in alone and beat the local goalie for the third. Kavanaugh made it four on Bain's pass about four min- utes later, A few minutes later, Bain and Luke staged their little act and the teams played a man short for a while. As Luke went back into the game, Daniels came out for tripping Hobson. Compkin made it 5-1 just before the period ended. Oshawa got a goal in the third period after about seven minutes of play. It came as a result of a smart piece of cAmbination work and was the smartest goal of the game, Dan- iels went up centre, passed over to Leyden, who drilled it to "Shine" Bovin, who had taken up position just out in front. Bovin received the ball and shot all in one move- ment and Hobson never saw it go by. 5-2, Bovin was penalized a minute la ter for slashing. With two men on the beneh, St. Simon's had a big advantage and they used to allow J. Graham to get his first goal, making the half-dozen. L. Luke went off for tripping Bain, just as Bovin went back and Graham gave brother Al. his chance and Al. beat Shannon for the seventh, The per- iod ended a minute later. Play was close and even for the opening of the last frame and then Garrison drilled a pass in to Car- dinal, who scored with a nice shot. H. Luke went off for slashing and a few minutes later Compkin added to the St. Simon's lead, with his third and their eighth goal. Fifty seconds later, J. Graham again beat Shannon and he did it again just be- fore the game ended, to leave the score at 10-3, The teams: St. Simon's--Hobson, goal; Thom, point; Leighton, cover; NeNttleship, st. def.; McAlpine, 2nd. def.; Blakely, 3rd def.; Walters, centre; Bain, 3rd home; Davis, 2nd home; A.

Judge of Play, "Hank" ( Celtic Wins Game From Ben- rowdy Toronto 3-1 Toronto, June 29.--The wishes of thousands of Toronto fans who had eagerly awaited the visit of the famous Glasgow Celtic to the city, materialized on Saturday af- ternoon, when the Scottish cup- holders gave an impressive exh:- bition and defeated a clever To: onto team by 3 goals to 1. Throughout the Celts revealed the type of effective short passing for which Scotland is renowned, and which has stood out in strik- ieg contrast to the long, swing- ing game played by England. It is true that the game did not touch the standard of the exhi- hition provided by Rangers. But it was a brilliant exhibition and one worth going a long way to see. And the 10,000 spectators could not but have heen impress- ed by the youthful complexion of the Celtic team which is an elo- quent tribute to the ability ana astuteness of Willie Maley, the manager, Jimmy MeceStay, the captain centre-helf, and veteran of the team, is playing the same cool, calculating and effective game that he played when: last seen by the writer in Scotland nearly seven years ago.

Swansea, the home team and league leaders met Oshawa City second place team, in an import- ant league game which meant much to both teams, There was about one thousand spectators present when Davis kicked off for Swansea. Play opened 'very fast. The City team were the first to at- tack, when Brodie sent Saxby away on the right wing from his pass. Brown sent wide off the mark. Simmons broke away on the left for the home team but Howells made a«good save of his shot. The play at this period of the game was very snappy with both defences playing stellar foothall, The City looked like scoring when Dunstall drew the defence, »ass- ed to Brown, whose shot missed the upright by inches, The home team now took a turn at attacking, forcing thrce corners in suceession, which came to nothing. Howells was doing some fine work in the Oshawa goal. Cummings, the City's left back was playing a great game; he teams up well with Rodgers. Brown spoiled a chance of scor- ing when he got In the way ou} Dunstall. The City forced a cor- ner kick, from which Brown headed over the bar. At the oth- er end Howells was almost beat- en when the ball took a bad bcunce, but he managed to crear at the expense of a corner kick which came to nothing. A few minutes later half time came with neither team having scored, Ad The second half opened very fast with both teams $triving hard for a goal, Bredin was mak- irg some nice runs and great crosses but they came to nothin. The home team went to the at- tack and Francis was going through, when he was stopped by Cummings, a few minutes later, Howells had to be on his toes when he just managed to fist it over the bar for a corner kick. Brodie sent Saxby away on tha p wing trom his cross, ther scramble in front of th which lasted about two miinutes and from the fans' view off it al that could be seen of it wjas the dust.
