Cornish ART COLONY PLANNED FOR PRETTY ROOKITS Lethbridge, Alta.--At pictur- esque Glacier Park, in the Rock- ies, an art colony is being estab- lished, preserving best examples of Indian and western life. This year it will harbor 25 persons. Winold Reiss, noted New York artist, is the leading spirit behind the scheme. The colony will be made permanent, Reiss, painter of several views of Waterton national park, ad- Joining Glacier park, and his bro- ther, Hans, will conduct sessions of their art-school during July, August and September. Instruc- tions will be given in drawing, painting and sculpturing of cow- boy and Indian models. Among the students of 'the college this season will be Miss Harriett Coo- -lidge daughter of Senator Marcus Coolidge of Massachusetts, At Glacler park, Winold Reiss declares, an artist can find "a nat- ural centre for the study and in- terpretation of art." The pur- pose of the colony, he said, fis chiefly educational, "for here the Indians and cowboy life find a nat- ural getting--muel more so than. in the southwest." Members of the colony this year will represent several states of the southern re- public and at least one European country, he said. ------------------ ALBERTA DOUKHOBORS GREET HEAD WILDLY Cowley, Alta.~--Greetings ten- dered trans-Atlantic and world- girdling aviators when they ar- rived home after epic journeys were rivalled recently when Peter Veregin, head of Canada's Douk- hobors, paid this town a visit, Accompanied by nearly 500 of his brethren, Veregin is touring from Saskatchewan to British Colum- When the Veregin cavalcade, comprised of multi-colored motor vans and' trucks, struck this Al- berta Doukhobor settlement, the populace. ed out en masse.

The scores were 9 to 0 and 2 to 1, the nightcap going ten in- nings before Ken. Strong sup- plied the hit that produced the winning run. The double victory placed the Leafs above the .500 mark in the league standing for the first time since about the middle of May and, judging from their recent performance, they intend to stay above it, In the first game the Leafs gave about as good a display of opportune hitting as has been seen here this season, Their first two hits off Johnny Welch pro- duced two runs in the third in- ning. They got only one hit off him from then until the sixth, and then they exploded five more drives, including a triple by Joe Rabbitt that fell a few feet short of clearing the right-field fence, and scored five runs, Welch re- tired after that bombardment, but the Leafs crowded three blows into the eighth inning off Pitcher O'Keefe, who succeeded Welch, and added two more runs. Only one of their eleven hits did not figure in the scoring. Southpaw Frank Barnes was toiling for the Leafs, and he gave one of his masterly performances, The Reading team had only been blanked on two previous occa- sions before Barnes did the trick, and it is no mean feat. The Keys got eight hits off Barnes, and in three innings they bunched two each, but they could not hit him with men on bases, In the fourth the first two batters to face him singled, but an otherwise danger- ous situation was immediately re- lieved when the 'third batter hit into a fast double-play, started by Billy Rogell. SASKATCHEWAN OUT FOR CRICKET TITLE Regina, Sask, July 20--Saskat- chewan plans to send a cricket team to the interprovincial tournev at Victoria, B.C,, in August. First difficulties which appeared to have rendered it impossible to compete are believed to have been surmount- ed, and selection of a strong eleven is the new problem, ORONO RAMBLERS DEFEAT PORT HOPE TO LEAD THE LEAGUE Port Hope, July 20.--Orme Gamsby"s Ramblers from Orono invaded Port Hope Saturday and humbled 'the locals 8 to 5 in a Lake Shore Intermediate League contest.

Perry conquered the New York youngster, Sydney B. Wood, 6--3, 8-10, 6--3, 6--3 to ev- en the count at 2--2 and then, with tennis fate hanging on the final match, Henry M. (Bunny) Austin swamped Frank Shields of New York in straight sets, 8--6, 6-3, The British team now will clash wth France's tennis warriors in the challenge round here, starting Fri- day. An ovation greeted Auston's final polished volley which beat Shields. It was the end of the United States international tennis hopes for 1931, an end which seemed inevitable as Shields after a magnificent opening spurt, carrying the score to § - 2, against Austin lost the set. He nev- er looked like a winner after that, A popular Victory When it was over French fans whooped, cheered and dotted the court with hundreds of red cushions hurled from the seats. Great Bri- tain's revenge for Wimbledon was complete, for Shields, who withdrew from the Wimbledon singles final so his injured knee could mend, was soundly beaten, while Wood, who holds the Wimbledon title, was beaten here both by Austin and and Perry, Oshawa City Lose Hard Game to Leaside on Sat. & > Leaside Goalie Is Showered With Bullet-like Drives But Allows Only One to Go By, While Team- mates Score Three to Defeat Oshawa City Oshawa travelled to Leaside on Saturday to play that team in a league game. Lobban won the toss and kick- ed off with the wind at their backs. Play opened very fast, the City did all the attacking and Currie, the home goalie, was soon in ac- tion, Leaside pressed and Fulford missed the upright by inches. The City went to the other end and Currie saved shot; from Brown, Heeds and Singer. The City continued the atttack but Currie in the home goal was al- ways on the alert, Leaside broke Away, but were easily held by Rodgers and McLeod. Lobban had to retire for injuries receiv- ed when he collided with Askins, but resumed play after being out for about 10 minutes. The City team were playing a nice game, their forwards show- ing some nice displays of foot- tall but Currie was giving a great exhibition of goal-keeping. He saved three terrific shots from Brown in less than a few sec- onds., It was left to Singer to open the scoring for the City and after 35 minutes of play, when Lhe beat the defence and put the ball to the far corner of the net cut of Currie's reach. Play resumed with the City still attacking. Numerous at- tacks on goal were stopped by Currie. Half time came with the City 1, Leaside 0. Brown started the second half and play opened very fast, poth teams were showing a great dis- play of football, Leaside forced a corner, from the kick a scramble in front of the goal took place and from this Atkins scored for Leaside. On the start of play, Leaside were not long in taking the lead, from a throw in. Kelly scored from a high lob thot which dropped be- hind Howell's hands, to the back of the net. From the re- start, Brown passed to Dunstall, who sent it to Singer, back to Dunstall, who gent it tot. n?Dan Dunstall, who put it back to Sing- er, the latter just missing the upright with his shot, not a Lea- side player touched the ball in this shot. Lobban at this period was limping very badly and the City were playing great football but Currie seemed unbeatable, Brown having numerous shots on goal. Dunstall, one one occasion, lock- ed like scoring when he drove 2 terrific shot to the far upright put Currie threw himself {full length to save. Bredin onthe left wing for the City was play- ing a nice game and had some beautiful crosses, but Currie was too smart. Leaside, when they broke away which was very rare, wera Jan- gerous. McKellar looked like scoring when he heat three men and drove a high shot into goal, but %lowells just managed to tip it over the bar, two min- utes from time. White scored fiom the centre of the field when bis high shot dropped under the bar. Final score Leaside 3. Oshawa City 1.
