The three leading sellers of the Gen- eral Motors line in Canada show a gain of 10 per cent, for Chev- rolet, 8 per cent. for Pontiac, and 13 per cent. for McLaughlin- Buick, in spite of the.fact that tctal sales of ali passenger cars in Eastern Canada area. are off 23 per cent. A year ago, Chevrolets trail- ed the leader of all cars by 42 per cent., but this year Chevro- let has not only cut down this substantial lead but has actually nozed ahead of its nearest com- potitor by 276 units. The sales of the seven leading motor cars on the basis of 1931 businéss shows the General Motors line holding three of the first four po- sitions. Among the high spots of 1931 certainly must be classed the achievement of the Chevro- let car. In a drab and, to many, an un- happy year, Chevrolet, holding its production close on demand, Las managed to show a rising output curve month after month, with the single exception of Feb- rary, which fell stightly short of the fanuary total. + "Too Late to_ Classify CASH FOR GOOD USED CARS Apply Cottage No. 31, lake, or 1662 Dufferin St., Toronto. 32¢ MADAME NEVADA, PALMIST Ross' Corners, Phone 2894. 30-32 TO ' RENT.--THREE UNFUR- nished rooms, Central.

The Ontario quartette ended the day with a total of 289. strokes, represent. ing the aggregate 18-hole score of four players. The final 18- hole round will be played to- morrow afternoon. SONNENBERG WINS BOUT WITH McCOY Toronto, Aug. 8.--Many of the 6,000 crowd at the Arena Gar- dens last night went away with the opinion that Gus Sonnenberg was lucky in his win over Bibber McCoy in the main bout of the wrestling show. The bout ended with both grapplers stretched on the carpet, apparently helpless, Sonnenberg reviving enough to crawl across the ring and roll his rival over for the winning fail. Both were laid out when they hit almost head-on in flying tackle ending a crashing bout that had the crowd in an uproar most of the time. The show compared with the best for beside the crash-bang bat- tle between Sonnenberg and Mc- Coy there were two other high- class matches. In the semi-final Count George Zarynoff gave an- other clever display of acrobatic wrestling to gain the decision over Nick Lutze while the opener resulted in a win for Carl Pospe- shil over Bob Green on a fall in 15 minutes, The main bout was an aggres- sive battle of everything in wrest- ling, with McCoy setting the pace most of the time. Slaps, punches, slams and tackles were all crowd- ed into the action. Sonnenberg, as usual, absorbed most of the punishment taking advantage of his opportunities to score the two falls for victory. PENETANG BEAT BARRIE Midland, Aug. 8.--In the first game in the play-off in Simcoe League of the O.B.A.A. at Pene- tang the home team beat Barrie, 13 to 3. Ken Carleton was in the box for Penetang, and held the visitors to four hits. In the fifth inning Penetang scored ten runs and Barrie used three pitchers in an endeavor to stop the heavy hit- ting. The next game will be play- ed in Barrie on Wednesday. BRITISH YACHT IN CLOSE WIN Cowes, Isle of Wight, Aug. 8. The British yacht, Felma, yester- day .defeated-the Lucie of the United States in one of the most exciting races of the Royal Yacht Club's regatta. After leading practically all the way the Lucle went too far inshore on the last leg and was beaten by 27 seconds, The railroads make out a good case for increased income; but, for that matter, so could most of the rest of us.--"Boston Tran- script." THE AXE HAS FALLEN, The axe has fallen, and fallen hard, on four of the former members of Oshawa's championship lacrosse team of two years ago. Bill Coulter, Smithy Smithson, Ty Silk and Chuck Barron are expelled from ama- teur lacrosse for all time on account of the manipulations by which, while still residents of Oshawa, they were lined up to play for the Toronto Native Sons. This action on the part 'of the O.A.L.A. seems to indicate that that body is in earnest in its desire to clean up lacrosse, but what a fine thing it would have been had it been taken at the beginning of the scason, instead of waiting nutil the tail-end. Strict enforcement of its own rules by the O.A.L.A. might have made it possible for Oshawa to get together a team that would have been right in the runing for senior honors. TIMES WON IN BOWMANVILLE. The Times team went to Bowmanville last night and played a game of softball against a picked team from the town. The Oshawa boys were just a little too good for the Cream of Barley town selects, and won by a score of 15 to 10. BOWLERS GOING OVERSEAS. The Canadian Lawn Bowling Association is sending a team to Great Britain next year, and a call has gone.out to all clubs, asking' bowlers who wish to make this trip to submit their names without delay to A. A. Langford, London, secretary of the Ontario association. Much interest is being taken in this trip, and a strong Canadian team should be available. ORONO IN PLAYOFFS, By defeating Cobourg on Wednesday, Orme Gamsby's Orono team took six straight games in the second series of the Lake Shore League, and entered the playoffs, Port Hope and Cobourg have to play off today to decide which team will meet Orme's stalwarts, and Oshawa fans are particularly interested, since the Orono team has decided to play its home games in the playoffs at the Motor city Stadium, CHOSEN FRIENDS WIN AGAIN The Chosen Friends are becoming a jinx for the Fancons. For the second time in succession, the Friends defeated the Falcons last night, the score being 16 to 13, in an exciting game of softball. This defeat for the Fancons evens up the second series and makes a race out of it, so that the Ladies' league games from now on, will be more important and exciting. than ever, JUNIORS PLAY TONIGHT, A good game of softball should be seen at the Motor City Stadium at 6.45 this evening, when the Marlboro juniors, onc of the crack young teams from Toronto, will play Mike's Place junior in an exhibition game. Mike's Place team is a clever aggregation of youngsters, and should put up a good fight against their Toronto opponents. THE SECOND PLAYOFF GAME. The second game in the Big Four playoffs between Falcons and Mike's Place is scheduled or Monday evening. Falcons, to be played at the Motor City Stadium by winning on Thursday, have the cdge on the series, but Mike"s Place will be battling right back on Mon- day and it should be a great game. THEY'RE OFF. Today sees the opening of the soccer season in Scotland, and the vari- ous leagues will get off to a start on their long grind which will end next April. The first division of the Scottish Lcague promises to be much cioser this year, as many of the clubs haye been considerably strengthened and should challenge the supremacy which Celtic and Rangers have held for several seasons.

Scottish Seceer Season Opening This Afterneon Glasgow, Scotland, Aug. 8.-- Soccer gets under way in Scot- land for the season of 1931-32 to- day when all the first and second division clubs will be in action. Dundee United and Third Lanark will be in senior company, while East Fife and Hibernians, - tail- enders in the first division last season, will be in the second div- sion. Prospects for the new season are much brighter than for the past four years. This is so even though economic conditions In most localities do not hold out great hopes of increased 'financial reward for clubs whose existence since the big slump commenced has been a succession of night- mares in the shape of bank over- drafts with occasional gleams through the sale of players to wealthy English clubs. The settlement of the tour- year-old dispute with the inter- mediate clubs had released a 1g number. of seasoned players for senior football and the scramble for the best of them has been a feature of the last two months, Whether the advent of the inter- mediates will bring Scottish foot. ball back to its old standard re- mains to be seen, but it is certain that there will be an improve- Eo a ai Benedicts Are Out of Playoffs In one of the smartest games of the season, Ukrainians defeat- ed the King.

The Benedicts starréjl with a smart double play, while the steady pitching of True was one of the highlights of the game.
