It is to e 'Tegretted that the fans have been given the opportunity 'of seeing more hardball this year 88 a large crowd turned out to see 2 this game and showed their inter- pis gs L..est in the popular summer game. While some of the Falcon play- ers have played this season with the Orono team in the Lakeshore League a full team has not played +» together and to this fact can be "attributed in some degree the de- " feat of the Oshawa team last hi t Neither team were able to score in. the first inning, but Beaches in the second frame secured five on four hits and an error. feature of the inning was the home run by Porter with none on base. In their half of the inning Falcons pushed across a run with the aid of a hit by Hubbell and a walk to Gobdall. In the third inning Falcons held their oppon- ents safe and went in themselves and scored two runs with the head of the batting order up with three hits, That made the score five to three in favor of the visitors. In the fourth Beaches were' retired in order, but managed to get an- other run in the fifth on hits by Pearson and Mays. The visitors dded two more runs to their tal in the seventh to make their total eight. As for the Falcons, after the third inning they were retired in order in every inning but the seventh, and were not able to add a single hit to their aver- ages after the third. Falcons Bow to Beaches Even though the Falcons lost to the smart Beaches team, of Tor- onto, at the Stadium last night they showed that they are a smart ball team which would make the best of them step with a little more practise' together, The Oshawa team had a chance to look at some high class pitching last night and did not disgrace themselves by any means, The score was 8 to 3 with the visitors getting eleven hits and the home team five. One big inning spelled defeat for the Falcons, as Beaches got five runs in the second, and went out in front with a commanding lead. * = \4 LJ Bowmanville Boy Honored Harold Colmer, of Bowmanville, will be one of a number of boys who will atfénd the Ontario Athletic Commission instruction camp, at Portage, situated on Lake Couchiching, near Orillia, as guests.

Brooklin Defeats Whitby Royals The Whitby Royals, the junior girls team in the county town which has caught the fancy of the fans there, bowed to the Brooklin team in an exhibition game last night by the score of 19 to 15.

Win by Carsteel Ties Round 3-3 A goal scored in the last min- ute of play as many spectators were leaving Ulster Stadium last night enabled Montreal Carsteel to defeat Toronto Scottish by 2 goals to 1, thus necessitating an- other game to break the 3--3 jdeadlock on the round, the Scots having won by 2---1 on Monday night. While replete with thrills, last night's encounter was far below the standard of the exhibition served up in the first clash. Up to about the last fifteen minutes of play, the exchanges were merred by a deplorable display of rough play. When a number of the Montreal players learn how to control their tempers and play soccer as it should he play- ed, the team as a wholes will bene fit. While the Scots were guilty of several flagrant fouls by way of retaliation, the Quebec cham- pions were by far the greater sin. ners in this respect throughout. As a result the majority of the players are feeling the effects of the game. Near the close of the first half, Campbell, the Montreal contre half, sustained a dislocat- ed jaw following an accident, and was unable to resume until after the second forty-five minutes was under way. Leaders Gain The American League half of baseballs big six was the whole show yesterday, Ruth, Morgan and Simmons improving their batting averages, while the Na- toinal League trio of Klein, Ho- gan and Hendrick either failed to gain or lost ground. Ruth tacked three points onto his bat- ting average, while Morgan added two and Simmons three. AB R H PC.

GIANTS BOW TO REDS Cincinnati, July 23.--John Mec- Graw returned to active manage- ment of the Giants after a three days' suspension, but he failed to stop the Cincinnati Reds from winning their first game of the year from New York on Redland Field. The score was 4 to 3. The Reds got to Clarence Mit- chell in the early innings, while "Red" Lucas kept the Giants' eight hits well scattered. The Giants threatened in the eighth when pinch-hitter Leslie and Terry doubled, but Lucas tighten- ed and retired the invaderss only one run crossing the Plate.

Claset Hurls Both Montreal, July 23.--"Lefty" Claset pitched the Royals to a double victory over the Reading Keystones here yesterday after- noon to increase their leading margin in the International to three ful games, The scores were 1--0 and 3--1, and Claset miss- ed a doube 'shut-out because of his own error in the second in- ning of the nightcap when the Keys got their only run of the afternoon, The victories were Claset's fourth and fifth straight of the season over the Keys. They have won only one game in twelve against him in two years. The double win also ran his total of victories to ten for the season, and his shutout was the second he has scored this season. Claset also took a prominent hand in the attack, getting three hits in five times at bat. The Royals took the series from the Keys, four games to one, RED SOX AND WHITE SOX SPLIT Boston, July 23.--The Red Sox and White Sox split a double- header yesterday, Boston taking the first game, 3 to 2, and Chic- ago the nightcap, 9 to 3. In the opener, Danny MacFad- yen outpitched the veteran Ur- ban Faber, the winning run being scored in the last of the ninth on Earl Webb's single and Bill Sweeney's double. Al Thomas held the Red Sox to six hits in the second game, while his mates were pounding four Boston pitchers for 15. Johnny Watwood had a perfect day at bat in the finale with a triple, double and three singles. SENATORS BEATEN AGAIN Washington, D.C., July 28.-- Poor pitching yesterday put Washington on the losing end of an 8-4 score against St, Louls, which won its first game of the season on the Senators' lot. "General" Alvin Crowder, Washington hurler, was nicked for nine safeties, one a homer by Stortl, with Kress on base, in five innings, to overcome a four-run lead piled up by the Senators in the first, Maroons Bow to Maple Leafs 9-7 Lionel Conacher, the big train of Canadian athletics and his train of coaches in the Maroon colors of Montreal, were stopped by too many red lights at the Arena Gardens last night! Tor- onto's Maple Leafs turned on the goal glow nine times with their scoring efforts while Conacher's collection only lit the little goal light seven times and the locals added another victory in the Pro- fessional Lacrosse League, climb- ing into a deadlock at the top of the league standings, It seemed just a matter of Conacher against the Maple Leafs and the stout hearted son of Cot- tingham Square almost stole the victory from his home town with hir wonder display. Seven of the Montreal goals were the result of Conacher's superb play, six being on shots from his stick, while one went on a pass to his play- ing partner, Nels Stewart. Con- acher earned the name of the su. per athlete in lascrosse as an am- ateur and now as a professional he is still superb. Accompanied by a chorus of wild cheering from first to fin- ish the Maroons and the Leafs battled with all the keen rivalry of hockey and only a stronger finish by the locals gave them the needed win. 'Cover Conacher," was the cry of the crowd, but it took more than words to stop the one-man hurricane, Conacher was here, there, and everywhere and only the fact that he was off most. of the last period, partly from his own determined efforts and the extra checking of the Leafs, gave the locals their big chance to win. RUTH HI HITS TWO HOMERS New York, July 23.--A pair of home runs by "Babe" Ruth, his twenty-fourth and twenty-fifth of the season, and Lou Gehrig's twenty-ninth circuit drive gave the New York Yankees an even break in yesterday's double- header with the Detroit Tigers. The three homers won the sec- ond game 9 to § after the Tigers had taken the opener, 3 to 2. Ben Chapman stole his thirty- seventh base and Lazzeri tripled with the bases loaded to help the Ruth-Gehrig act. The Tigers took the first game behind the six-hit pitching of George Uhle, and with the aid of John Stone's hitting and Gordon Rhodes's wildness, BASEBALL RESULTS INTERNATIONAL LEAGUE Won Lost P.C. 39 .593 567 536 525 .506 .434 429 412 Montreal c..ee...58 Newark ..c.e000..55 Rochester .......52 Baltimore Toronto ,.

Outfought for the .firat ten rounds by an opponent h2 had figured to beat decisively, wit! every physicgl advantage in h favor, Sharkéy was forced to put on a two-fisted drive in the last four rounds to get so much as an even break. The outcome was distinctly an upset, for Sharkey crawled into the ring a three-to-one favorit to whip the chunky, barrel-chest- ed New Jersey Irishman. Walker spotted Sharkey ex- actly 29 pounds, plus big margir in height, reach and strength, but Mickey lashed and harassed hi bigger foe with a courageous de- termination that frequently hac the sympathetic crowd of 35,000 fans in an uproar. Sharkey's stronger finish, how ever, appeared sufficient to bhal- ance the scales that were topping strongly against him and saved what little prestige there was left for the hig Bostonian, CUBS BEAT BRAVES Chicago, July 23.--"Woody" Engligh's single in the eleventh inning with Hemsley on base gave the Chicago Cubs a hard-ea 5-to-4 victory yesterday over e Boston Braves in the first game of the series. The Bruins spotted the Bostonians four runs, hut ral lied to tie the count with two in the ninth. By the wietory the Cubs took third place in the National Leagug race, passing New York. BIRDS BLANK BISONS Buffalo, N.Y., July 23.--The Baltimore Orioles had scant diffi- cutly Steeping the Bisons in kal- somine in a twilight game played here yesterday evening.
