All runs were being earned and smart "defensive plays were the order of "the day. Both teams were playing t game and the fans had airkady settled down to a real nip- md-tuck struggle. The big break the game came in the sixth, with 'two men out. Wills had singled but Ross struck out and Petrie ground- out. With two men out, it look- as if the rally was ended but drew one of his many walks "and Rowden promptly singled, scor- fog, Wills It was here that Alex. . er golfed a low one to deep & centre field for the circuit. This put the game on ice for the Fal- | EB cons and the "Newsies" showed a b distinct lack of pep after this event. Webster Hurls Good Ball Alex. Webster was in fine form night, and given almost airtight port by a re-vamped infield and k eld, he had the "Newsies" al- i ways well in hand. He allowed on- ly five hits during the entire nine 4 gs and the only time he was : tened was in the fourth inning, three successive hits by Cor- "mish, Shellenkoff, and Kitchen and a sacrifice by Morris helped to con runs. ns_finished strong and scor- § ed five runs in the last two innings to boost their total on to the even dozen.

Falcons were is- sued thirteen free passes to first base, six in the first half of the game and seven in +h» second half. A couple of smart catches by Lit- tle and the snappy play of the in- field were the features of the "New- sies' play. Webster, Rowden, Little and Petrie figured prominently in the Falcon victory. : This win puts the Falcons in un- disputed possession of second place in the "Big Four" league, with the "Newsies" having an outside chance of reaching a playoff berth.

They made history for themsel- ves as they defeated the Reading Keys, 9-2, in the twilight game at the Stadium last night before 3,000 fans, They extended their winning streak to six straight vie- tories, the longest run of suc- cesses they have enjoyed in two years of campaigning. A fine pitching struggle between Johnny Allen and Al Van Alstyne for seven innings, with the Leafs at no stage of the affair being worse than locked in a tie, was cracked wide open in the eighth. In this spasm the Leafs comb- ed the Reading hurling star for five hits and seven runs, two of the taHies being on the runways when Mulrooney, with two out relieved Van Alstyne, Mulrooney was biffed for a brace of hits, in- cluding a double, before Davis was retired at the plate as he tried to score on Rabbitt's two- base smack. Until the eighth was reached Van Alstyne had yielded only seven hits, but the Leafs had managed to bunch two in the sec- ond for a run and three, along with a pass, in the sixth for an- other score. Allen a Puzzle In the meantime Johnny Allen, though inclined to be wild at times, had kept the Keys pretty much the under-dog. They jum- bled together a walk, a stolen base and a hit for a run in the fifth, and they also made another / / The balance of our Child's Wash Suits in sizes 2 Falcons Win "Big Four" Tilt For almost six innings, Falcons and "Newsies" battled to a 3-all tie in a good "Big Four" game at the Stadium last night and then Falcons won the game. We say almost, as there was two men out in the sixth when Rowden's single scored one run and then Webster's great drive for the circuit scored two ahead of him and from then on, Falcons had everything their own way, being assisted by too much generosity on the part of the Times' hurler. It was a great game for six innings. The crowd was not as large as it should have been. i * * * - Tannery Defeat S. and A. Up at Alexandra Park, tne South Ont. leaguc rivals, Robson Leather and S. and A. held a great scssion, which resuited in a close score, be- cause both teams made .about the same number of errors. The game was not nearly as fast as usual when these two teams. meet, there be- mg two many misplays but at that, it was exciting and close. The Tannery stayed in the leadership of the South Ont. league with the "Newsies" by winning the game 13 to 10. Parfitt and Cardinal were the opposing hurlers.

"An outstanding list of entries has been mT with the keen competition, some fine races should result. L * * = Outstanding List Of Entries For Oshawa Races Sat. Manager M. E. Wicks made no idol boast when he said that the Ontario Harness Circuit Meeting at Oshawa would be the best of the year. The class of horses that have entered with the energetic Secretary are the Creme of On- tario. When the handicap race was mentioned many thought it would not fill but the entry is more than gratifying. The en- trance was reduced to 3 per cent. and purse money raised to $400 and certainly judging from the response it is an unqualified suc- cess, The barrier system of start- ing will be used doing away with the prolonged scoring. On the American side this system is pen- erally used now and horses are never at the post more thau one minute. Noted horse officials from all over Ontario will take part in the race meet in the Motor City on Saturday. The Handicap entries--2.15 to Free for All: 1.--Willis Grattan ch. g.

The Anglicans only gained their win with a sensational stampede for scores that had the large crowd in a spell of excitement that was only broken by the final whistle. Play in the twelve-man game is not any criterion of strength or weakness in the seven-man style for Mimico, trailers in the senior O.A.L.A., just missed a win over the leading Anglicans in the box test last night.

KILLS A FISH WITH GOLF BALL Salt Lake City, v.ah, July 1 --_Golfers and fishermen often Vie for honors in their respective sports, but Pat Gilbert, former professional boxer, claims the prize of both aggregations. Gilbert, playing golf at Nibley hit in this inning, but wasted fit. Allen was prodded for the small number of six hits, and he was strongly backed up by his supporting cast, the Leafs play- ing fast ball afield. Allen was the only Leaf to go hitless and Davis clipped three singles with Rabbitt, Strong, Rog- ell and O'Neill each connecting twice. Davis Burke and Rogell each drove in two runs. There Second-Half of the schedule to make a playoff necessary. This is their first game and a win tonight will get them off on the right foot. Fal- | 'the end of his were only two extra base blows, Rabbitt and Whitman punching doubles. Van Alstyne opened as if he was going to make a show of the Leafs, and he did do a neat plece of elbowing for seven innings. Purcell Wins Over Proctor Toronto, . July 17--The first real upset in the men's events of the Ontario provincial lawn tennis championships which are nearing conclusion on the courts of the To= ronto Tennis Club, occurred yesters day afternoon when Jack Purcell, world famous badminton player, scored his fourth victory in the tournament by eliminating John S. Proctor, one of the strongest play- ers in Ontario. Proctor won the first set handily and appeared to be on the road to an easy victory. Pur- cell, however, is in fine physical condition has a perfect eye and is developing an overhead smash strongly reminiscent of his deadly badminton strokes. He steadly wore his opponent down and thoroughly earned his victory. Joe O'Hara, of Ottawa, came to victorious career when he bowed gracefully to Gil- bert Nunns after putting up a good fight 'in the first set. His lack of experience was noticeable in the game, and Gilbert did practically what he wished in the second sef. O'Hara, however, has made a thor- oughly good impression among com- petitors and spectators during the week.
