Toronto Scottish Won Title in National League, Sport Snapshots | Enthusiastic Sportsman Every town in Ontario would give almost anything in their possession to have a man like Orme Gamsby, of Orono, in their midst. Orme has done wonders for Orono in all lines of sport, but first and foremost Mr, Gamsby is a baseball enthusiast and takes the sport 'with great ser- iousness, This year hc sponsored the Ramblers and instilled them with the winning spirit. In the first half of the schedule, the team finished well down on the list; but after gathering together a team of eligible players, Orme won the second half and the league champion- ship, After that they put Peterborough out of the contention and only succumbed to Brantford afer a strenuous three game series. But it is not in baseball alone that Orme finds enjoyment. Last winter he gathered a team of young boys, all homc-brews, and made a good showing in a number of exhibition games in preparation to placing an entry 'in the Ontario Hockey Association this year. 1f Mr. Gamsby can do all this with the material at his disposal in Orono what would he not be able to do.in a larger centre, -. Lm * - The New Convert Rule With the advent of the forward pass in Canadian Rugby the rule with regard to the converting of touchdowns has also undergone a change. Heretofore touchdowns were converted from the 25 yard line, usually by a drop kick. But this year after the score, the side which made the points has the choice of rescrimmaging the ball on their opponents' 5 or 10 yard line directly n tront of the goal posts, As soon as the ball is snapped the side in possession has three choices (1) to run the ball the necessary yards to the goal line; (2) to drop kick the ball over the goal posts, or (3) to throw a forward pass, the receiver of which must run the ball over the goal line before being tackled, This. revision of the rules was tried out in the game on Saturday be- tween Lindsay and Oshawa and had the spectators completely at sea, At that the rule tends more toward team play as before the team with a strong drop kicker had the advanage in adding points after a touch, but with ¢he new ruling a team without the services of a reliable kicker has other opportunities of adding the point that sometimes means victory or defeat. » * . LJ Have They Cracked at Last After the result of the game between the Philadelphia Athletics and New York Yankees on Sunday became gencrally known among the sportsmen of America, the first thought that occurred to most was, have the pitchers gone stale on the Athletics. It is hardly likely that Grove who started the game would let down as he would in all probability try Yor another win to extend his record, While Earnshaw and Walberg who followed him would hardly be guilty of the same offense. It is common knowledge that these three have carried the team to a third pennant, but the question will be forthcoming in the series that starts on Thursday.

For a comparison of the two competing vessels shows that the weather will have much to Bluenose, hold- er of the trophy and title by right of conquest in 1923 is a much larger boat. than Gertrude L. 'Thebaud, pride of Gloucester. A heavy wind is expectc¥™to give the Lunenburg- er an advantage, while breezes would whisk the lighter vessel along at a good clip. Thebaud, designed by Paine, Bel- knap & Skene, built by Arthur D. Story at Essex is nearly 14 icet shorter on the waterline, with smal- ler spars, booms and gaffs, and spreads 3,000 feet less canvas than the Canadian contender, She is a comparatively new vessel, having been launched on March 17, 1930. Captain Ben Pine, who piloted The- baud to victory over Bluenose last fall in the Lipton Cup races, with no title at stake, will be at the helm, The Bluenose, was designed by W. J. Roue of. Halifax, was built by Smith & Rhuland at Lunenburg, and launched on March 26, 1921. The average life of a fishing schooner on the Grand Banks is twelve to fifteen years, so Bluenose is nearing the end of her days. She soaked up a lot of wa- ter during her ten years on the Banks, ahd is now on the marine slip at Lunenburg undergoing a drying process, Captain Angus Wal- ters, the most famous skipper on the Eastern seaboard, will sail Blue- nose with a crew of picked Lun- enburg fishermen, The following measurements of table shows the the two vessels: Bluenose Thebaud it, In Ft, In. 134.0 25 Length over all Beam Waterline ...... 1 93 Depth in hatch Draught 148 Main mast ... 92 Foremast 3 82 Main topmast ... 53 42 Foretopmast 18.6 38 Main boom .,. 81 72 Main gaff .. 46 43 Fore boom ...... 326 30 Fore gaff ....... 30.6 Sq.

Simmons Best Fielder New York, Sept. 29.--Taken as a group, the Philadelphia Ath- letics have not the greatest out- field in the world, but Al Sim- mons, the "big punch" himself, plays left field for the American League representatives. The St. Louis Cardinals boast a fine, well-rounded corps of fly-chasers, but there is no Al Simmons in the lot, Charles "Chick" Hafey, the National League's outstanding slugger, is the closest approach, For the purposes of a short series, in which the championship might ride on a single batted ball, the Athletics hold the aces. Simmons Dangerous Simmons, who has amassed a .390 average this season to lead the American League for the sec- ond straight time, is likely to break up a ball game any time he comes to bat. The pitchers in- sist he has no weakness. This year he has made 72 extra base hits, including 22 home runs, and bas driven in 125 runs, Roaming the Athletics gar- dens with the volatile Al are two veteran teammates, George "Mule" Haas in' centre field and they strive, They could not, old-time tossers Make four ringers out of five. like proved as the game progressed and that only wretched shooting pre- K~ (Thats All You Need To KnowAbout AHAT/ also ST.

Neither is a star of the first magnitude, but they are capable and they have been through the world series mill for two years. Although he has been handicap- ped by an injured wrist for the last month and. been forced to let young Roger Cramer fill in for him, Haas finished with an average of .326 and had 44 ex- tra-base knocks. Miller, the weakest, hitter of the trio, posted a .281 mark. Martin v. Haas Conceding Simmons an advant- age over Hafey, bespectacled star of the Cardinals, Haas also ap- pears to rate an edge over Pep- per Martin, the rookie sensation, who opposes him in centre, That 'is, providing the "Mule" has rounded into top shape for the big series. If he has not, the Athletics will find themselves seriously outnumbered in that position. Neither Cramer nor Jim | Moore, Connie Mack's best avail- able substitutes, can hold a can- dle to Martin, who has hit at a .298 clip his first year in the majors, If Martin is unable to play because of his injured leg, wrenched Saturday. Sergeant Street has two capable substitutes in Wally Roettger, .318, and Ernest Orsatti, .295, 4 The confident youngster, who this time a year ago was playing with Rochester, is the only new face in either outfield. He is not as 'accomplished a ball hawk as Haas, but he partially makes up for it in pepper and hustle. He 'was good enough to win.a regu- lar berth this year over Taylor Douthit, one of the smartest out- fielders in the business. : About Watkins In George Watkins, the Cards have ® right fielder who is at \ | Why Schedules in Three Unions Inteprosncial Oct. 10--Ottawa at Montreal; Argonauts at Hamilton, Oct, 17.--Montreal at Argon- auts; Hamilton at Ottawa, Oct. 24--Hamilton at Mont- real; Argonauts at Ottawa, Oct. 31--Montreai: at Hamil ton; Ottawa at Argonauts, Nov. 7--Argonauts at Mont real; Ottawa at Hamiltcn, Nov. 14--Montreal at Ottawa: Hamilton at Argonauts, Intercollegiate Oct. 10---McGill at Western; Queen's at U. of T.

Rlades, the club's leading hitter last year, hit only .284 this sea- son, but he is a capable fly hawk. Ot the five regular gardeners who are facing each other for the second straight year, Sim- mons has proved by far the greatest 'money' player, He hit for a noble .364 average in the 1930 classic, while Hafey posted a respectable .273, Watkins ,167, Miller .142 and Haas .111, Present Prizes At St. George's A most successful season was brought tv a close last night by the Lenuis Club of St. George's Church, when prizes for the best lady and gentleman player and the best all- round player during the season were presented.

Sparky Adams, diminutive third baseman, has a sprained ankle. Pepper Martin, centre fielder, ha a wrenched knee. Both players were ordered to rest by Dr. Robert Hyland, club doc- tor, in hope they might: be in playing condition for the first game, Coupled with this gloomy news for Cardinal fans was the official admission, often rumor- ed, that Jesse Haines, leading pitcher of the National League, appears definitely out of the ser- jes, Haines injured a shoulder muscle early in September.

Yesterday's practice was with the American League baseball Watking and Frisch slammed it for long blows. Frisch, although in uniform today, is another ail- ing player.

Should Be Track Team Cleveland, O, Sept. 29.--The Detroit Tigers are in the wrong business. They should utilize their talents as a travelling track team. They lost a hall gama to the Cleveland Indians, 6--8, on Sun- day, but humbled the tribe 'in a fleld meet of no mean calibre. The score was 22--11. Harvey and Gerald Walker for Detroit emerged from the ruckus ag something of stars and set themselves up for all-track hon- ors of the 1931 season.

DEPUTATION ASKS FOR NEW SCHOOL (Continued from page 1) a whole in discussing school ac- commodation., He did not wish to appear to be blocking the de- putation's desires, but pointed out the necessity of considering the whole situation. Inspector Cannon Inspector C. F. Cannon also spoke briefly on the matter, and mentioned the problem which was experienced every September in transferring children to differ- ent schools in order to keep the grades up to standard, There were 166 children from the Col- iege Hill district attending Sim- coe Street South school, he said, and 25 attending Cedardale tcheol, most of these living on Bloor Street West, to which Ce- derdale school was the wueuarest school. - To take these children away from Simcoe Street school would leave vacant rooms there, but on the other hand, as the younger children kept growing up, there would be need for more school accommodation, He be- ileved, however, that the children in the Rosedale Avenue, Jarvis, Huig and French street districts who were attending the North Simcoe Street school were in a more flagrant position than those on College Hill from the.stand- point of distance from the school. He suggested that the accouiuo- dation problem as it affected the whole city be discussed by the proper committee of the board. One of the members of the de- putation pointed out that in ad- ¢ition to the 200 children now attending school, there were 142 in the College Hill district who would be ready for school next | vear. "We are isolated up there," he said, "and get nothing, and vet we have to pay our taxes the same as everyone else." Dr. Donevan again assured the deputation that the request would be considered, and it withdrew, CHAMPION CANADIENS WITHOUT A MANAGER | | Montreal, Sept. 29., The world's professional hockey cham- pion, Montreal Canadiens, were without a manager to pilot them through the approaching busy schedule of the National Hockey league to-day. Cecil Hart, mana- ger of the team for several years, sald he had not come to terms with the owners of the club, and bad not signed a contract for the coming season. At the same time Hart said he expected to leave for St, Louis to. morrow to confer with Joe Cat- taranich on the matter, Cattara- nich, President and owner of the Canadiens, is in the southern: city in connection with his race-course interests.
