Keeping their ds, the swimmers headed for , breasting the tempestuous strongly, and making def- pite headway. Johnny Walker, { the accompanying row boat, 'was being tossed about as if he "Wyere in a cockle shell, and sev- al times narrowly escaped being t into the water. Finally, jd much relieved, the whole par- reached shore, after a difficult ggle with waves in which no dinary swimmer would think of mturing away from land. In Johnny Walker's camp, in dition to Margaret Ravior, last 's winner of the women's thon, and George Young, ous as the winner of the Cata- Channel swim, are some good pects for the C.N.E, races. At risk of being over-optimistic, @ considers that Margaret Rav- will have little difficulty in re. ting this year." She is a fe improved swimmer since year," he said, "and is in re- | markable condition." Young Doing Well Johnny Walker was also enthu- ¢ over the serious way .in George Young is settling to the training grind. "I ive been training George ever he was a youngster," he and I have never seen him anything so seriously as he taking this year's swim.

This test pleased Mr. Walker very much, and he was hopeful that within the next week or two they would tackle even longer dis- tances. The water, he said, was a trifle too warm for them as yet, and it was necessary to go a mile or two out into the lake before finding water of a sufficiently low temperature to provide proper conditions for training for a mar- athon swim in Lake Ontario in the last week of August or first week of September. A Happy Family The swimmers are accommod- ated in a group of tents located near the Red Cross Cottage, and constitute a very happy little fa- ily. Mrs. Johnny Walker and her little daughter, and Mrs. Rav- ior, mother of Margaret, are also in the camp, and, according to all of them, the utmost harmony and good spirits prevail. Under usu- al circumstances, swimmers go into the water at 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. daily, although some fore- noon swims are also being under- taken, and large crowds are at the beach every evening to see them go through their paces.

It was the first of two games scheduled here between the reams and the winning eleven will hit the trail for the west in quest of the Dominion champiohip. The Scots, who are champions of On- tario, should have had a lead of at least four goals instead of one last night had they taken full ad- vantage of the opportunities which came their way, while there were times when they did not appear to have any luck at all in front of the goal. Had the Toronto boys rattled in a few more goals, it would not on- ly have been their due, but it would have given them a greater degree of confidence when thy line up agaim to do battle with Carsteel in the second game at Ulster Stadium tomorrow night. Although Carsteel were out- played for the major portion of the game, it is a team which can- not he taken too cheaply and one which is capable of turning the tables at the second call. The fact that they can take an op- portunity was 'exemplified after last night's game had gone 12 minutes. Up to that time the Scots had done everything except bulge the net. The ball came to Chedgzow, famous English inter- tional, who used to wear an Ev- erton jersey and who has now thrown in his lot with the Mont- real team. Showing remarkable speed for a veteran, he weaved his way down the right touch- line and sent over a perfect cross to McLaine, who nodded it just ont of Halliwell's reach. FALCON LADIES MAY HAVE NEW HURLER It was rumoured around town last night that the Falcon Ladies' softball team had discovered a new pitcher. Manager Phillips was very secret when interviewed last night, but hinted that the new re- cruit would surprise the O.M.I. and Chosen Friends' batters. The new hurler will be out to the next Falcon practice. Rail Birds, note. HOMERS WIN FOR BISONS Buffalo, July 21.--A trio of home runs off the bats of Ralph Shinners, Johnny Hughes and Ollie Tucker gave the Bisons a 6 to 5 victory over Baltimore here last night, to even the series with a win apiece under the flood- lights. The Birds touched up Fred Fussell for eleven blows, while the Herd collected but gev- en off the offerings of Koupai and Hopkin Shinner's homer in the fifth was his thirteenth of the year, while Tucker's plow was his seventeenth.

Twice a day the swim- mers go for a jaunt in the waters and while this statement may not be accepted by all those who have been swimming at the lake lately, Johnny Walker stated yesterday that the water is really too warm for training. Chosen Friends vs. O.M.I. Tonight Chosen Friendd hook up with the Malleables at Motor City Stadium tonight and according to advance notices, the Chosen Friends are going to give the O.M.I, their second straight defeat. Malleables intend to win the second half of the schedule but Chosen Friends have the same idea in mind and the difficulty is that only one team can be successful. Falcons claim that the one team will be them. At any rate, the team winning tonight's game will have * . a big advantage, Whitby Visit init Tonight Whitby visit the Robson Leather team at Cowan's Park tonight for a South Ontario League game, There is a great fight going on in the South Ont. league, S. and A. being tied with Whitby for second place and a playoff berth. Every game that either of these two teams play is an important one. As long as they both win or both lose, they remain even, but each team is trying to defeat either Tannery or Times and so get a victory ahead. by winning from Tannery at Cowan's Park tonight. Whitby can get the jump on their rivals, S. and A. It should be a good game and the hard-hitting Whitby clan will make things very interesting for the Tannery hurlers. * * Beaches Play Baseball Here Tomorrow There will be a smart baseball game at the Motor City Stadium tomorrow when Oshawa Falcons will 'play an exhibition hardball game with the Beaches team of Toronto. Beacons are pushing St. George's close for a playoff berth and are now considered one of the strongest aggregations in Toronto, win this game, "Chips" May, former Oshawa boy, will likely be on hand with the Beaches team. Falcons will make a real effort to The usual adrhission of twenty-five cents will be charg- cd and it is hoped that the attendance will be large. . » * Oshawa Inter.

So large was the crowd that gathered in the east end Wednes- day night to see the apparition that police were called out to reg- ulate the traffic. And the "ghost" did not disap- peint thrill seekers. Dressed in a leng white robe, he or she moved swiftly across the street, 20 yards ahead of the crowd, there was a gasp of amusement as the spirit meade its leisurely way down the street, Suddenly one man dart- ed forward in an attempt to catch the unearthly visitor. The chase was soon taken up by the major- ity of men in the crowd and a milling throng followed the white robed figure. Mere human beings had no chance of catching up.
