It was a well-played game, featuring some smart team work. The home team, led by Art Shaw and Henry Lauzon, played very cleverly. This style of play was the winning factor against the individual work that featured most of the Oshawa attacks. The Falls led in each period as follows: 4-2, 8-6, 14-3 and 19-10. Niagara Falls--Goal, MacGilli- vray; defense, Massecar and Lau- zon; centre, Kinghorn; rover, Pennie; home, Mrtin and Shaw; substitutes, Sparling, White, P. Miller, G. Miller, McPherson, Wi- ley. Oshawa---Goal Hurst; defense, Hubbel and Lambert; centre, Lay- den; rover, Armour; home, H. Cardinal and Daniels; substitutes, Boan, J. Cardinal and Garrison. Reféeree--George Pennie, Nigg- ara Falls, Surprise Result In Golf Tourney Montreal, Aug. 12.--One start. ling result upset the equilibrium of the first round of match play for the Canadian amateur golf championship as it wended its way placidly through a warm, sun- shiny day over the south course of the Royal Montreal Golf Club. That came half-way through an afternoon filled with unexeiting, expected results, when Caroll M. Stuart, young Marlborough, Mont- real star defeated Jesse P. Guil- fornfer United States amateur champion, 'and one of those favored to reach the finals, by the amazing margin of 12 up and 11 to go. Stuart thus marched int, the second round of match play with the 16 survivors of yesterday's 36-hole round, who will meet' today over the same route for a further cut to eight. Otherwise to-day's play for the crown worn by C. Ross ("Sandy") Somerville. proved hectic, but comparatively uneventful. The de- fending champion found no diffi- culty in advancing over G. E. Fen- and 11, and Phil Farley, Fred 'Hoblitzel, Jack Cameron and oth- er favorites won their way into the ranks of the sixteens.

[ GroRY surmiorg Congratulations The members of the Oshawa Bowling Club who won their games in the inter-district championship finals last night'at Toronto are to be congratulated. 'The district involved stretches from the east half of Toronto to Ottawa, so that a considerable area is covered by the sec- tion in which the Oshawa club now holds the championship. Bigger honors are in sight in the provincial championship tourney®at Hamilton on August 27 and 28, and the local bowling club will be watching the games on these two days with keen interest, * * * A Wild Game It was a wild game in which the Malleables defeated the Chosen Friends at the Motor City Stadium last night. Any game which is featured by 43 hits and 14 errors cannot be termed anything else. But it was a nice game for batting averages, and many of the players boost- ed their stock as long distance hitters as a result. The Malleables, by virtue of this victory, are in a splendid position in the second series of the league schedule, and when they meet 'the Falcons on Friday night it should be a great battle for the leadership. . * CI Rotarians Win at Last After trying vainly for. the last couple of seasons to topple the Kins- they won by a score of 16 to 5 in an interesting game of softball in the service club's league. The Rotarians, Kinsmen and the Oshawa Street Railway are tied for first place in the first section of the league, and the playoff should be interesting. The teams last night were: Ro- tary Club: S. R. Alger, E. S. Alger, Jacobi, Phillips, Langmaid, Ferguson, Gray, Karn and Armstrong. Kinsmen: Palmer, Hubbell, Houck, Dr. Gifford, Bill Gifford, McDougall, Bunt, Rinker and Rorabeck. = * * * . The Crucial Game Tomorrow Tomorrow evening the Falcons meet Mille's Place in the crucial game of the Big Four playoffs. With two games already tucked away, the Falcons only need this one to take the title, while: Mike's Place will be battlingso get back into the running. It is a great set-up for a real ball game, and he fans should not miss it. * * * . At Port Hope Today Oshawa baseball fans will be interested in the game at Port Hope today between the Orono and Port Hope teams in the Lake Shore League. This is the first game of the league playoff, and the second game will be played at the Motor City Stadium on Saturday afternoon at 3.30 pm. * » * . Lacrosse in Bad Way An Oshawa lacrosse team went to Niagara Falls last night and met defeat, byvasscore of 19 to +10 in an exhibition of the new-fangled box lacrosse. The game, however, did not receive much public support, only a couple of hundred fans being present. HOW SWIM Ww Martha Noreliurs ~~ = HOW TO FLOAT Having gained confidence in the plunge and in under-water swim- ming the beginner should learn to float without aids such as wings or a log. Floating is valuable, not only in allowing the swimmer to take a period of rest during a long swim, but for the beginner it aids materially in gaining a sense of balance, so useful for proper development of every swimming stroke. Floating is simplicity itself if one cardinal rule is followed. Keep the body flat. This applies to floating both back and front, but parti- ularly to floating on the . Many people have told me that they "simply can't float," their legs are too heavy, etc. Generally I find that their fault lies in the position of the head. They believe that they are lying flat when actually the head is up and their eyes are focussed alon the water. Lie back slowly with the hands extended sideways, the head, the arms resting on the surface. Push gently back and up with. the legs. Then draw back the arms above the head as the legs rise to the surface, Draw. Je arms back further than seems necessary. This 'will tend to force | head back,.and will take some of the weight from the legs, which tend to lower themselves with their own weight. Focus the eyes directly up or slightly over the head towards the hands, and there should be no difficulty in assuring yourself. of correct head position. Another failure of beginner is allowing the back to bend downward, Proper attention to the back, as well as to the position of the hands as outlined, above should correct this tendency to allow the back to slump. ting face downwards carries the same principles as floating on the 'back. Always remember to keep the head well in the water, and have the toes extended so that the legs and fect are flattened to the surface. If you have found difficulty in sustaining the plunge after momenfum is. lost these floating exercises will be of great assistance, and you will find that with practice you can lengthen your plunge materially.

Oshawa's representatives in the doublés and rinks competitions for the inter-district championship last night were successful in their games 'played at the Balmy, Beach Greens, Toronto, and qualified to go to Hamilton on August 27 and 28 to play in the final games for the provincial championship. In both of these games, the Oshawa bowlers won by comfortable margins, but in the singles game, F. Cochrane of the Oshawa club was defeated by J. Wilson of Davisville by a score of to 15 In the doubles game, the Oshawa air, E. J. Goodman and T. P. Jobs were matched against J. randon and W. Young of the Den- tonia Park Club. This was a highly interesting game, and the Oshawa pair won a well-earned victory by a score of 18 to 15. - The Oshawa representatives in the rink competition were J. Heffer- man, C, C. Stenhouse, C. Branton, and G. Morison. Their opposition consisted of a rink from the Kew Beach Club, composed of J. Laing, T. Allen, W. McKenzie and W, Erwin. In this game, the Oshawa rink was up four shots at the close, the score being 22 to 18. . This double triumph of the Osh- awa bowling club is a noteworthy, and the progress of its representa- tives in the provincial champion- ships at Hamilton will be watched with much interest by their club- mates. BERMUDANS WIN GAME London, Ont.,, Aug. 12.--The Bermuda Wanderers finished their inspiring two-day 'match here yes. terday against the Western and Southwestern Ontario Cricket Lea- gue's elect with a margin of 30 runs and with a 172-149 verdict on the second inning's play.

Roy "Suds" Sutherland, former. Iy of Native Sons, Toronto, was al- most unbeatable in Canadiens' goal. The Leafs were handicap- ped defensively by the absence of Len Plummer, defenceman.
