JOHNS Central Press Canadian Sports Writer New York, July 5--A lowly fifth last year and stacked with several "ifs" this season, the New York Giants departed from their spring camp at Winter Haven, Fla, March 28, as just another ball club--not a contender. Almost every selector guessing the result of the pennant race picked the Cardinals, the Reds, the Dod- gers and the Cubs to do better than Bill Terry's New York club. They had reason to, perhaps, for the Giants had aging Carl Hubbell, once a great star but ailing with a bad arm; eccentric Burgess White- head, the North Carolina second base marvel who was stopped by a nervous ailment; Rookie Babe Young at first base. a question mark; almost a complete new in- field, and ancients Mel Ott and Joe Moore in: the outfield. Hubbell Wins Could Bill Terry come back with such a ball club? He could, for he's proving it now as the Giants con- tinue their fight for the league leadership and perhaps another flag. A glgnce at the record will give the low down on. the Giants' re- markable play. Hubbell, the old meal ticket has pitched as many innings as any other hurler on the club. And he's won his share like the "king of the lefthanders" of old. Whitehead, the biggest puzzle of all, not only has turned in excep- tional fielding plays as a trans- formed third baseman, but has been a 300 hitter. Jo-Jo Moore is pounding the ball at a 350 clip and Young has proven his class with a hefty batting average. Danning Hits Biggest surprise .of the whole Glant attack has been the pill- pounding of Harry Danning, the former rug salesman who today ranks as one of the best receivers in the majors. Danning has been batting at a .340 clip and had led the team in runs-batted in. In the matter of rookies, Nick Witek, second baseman from New- ark, and Alban Glossop, from Jer- sey City, have shared keystone duties with Witek now whaling the Carl Hubbell ball at the heaviest pace of all the Giants. Johnny Rucker, who showed up best in spring practice, has done some outfielding but he hasn't been hitting. In the pitching box, Rookie Roy Joiner, from Jersey City, has won a couple of games against no defeats and should blos- son out into a starting hurler. Paul Dean, the "washed-up" sec- ond part of the team of Dean and Dean, is the latest Giant to hit the headlines. Paul hurled two wins jn a row, one a four-hitter and the other a six-hitter. i J Today '.

Helping Hubbell help the Giants climb in the standings are Pitchers Cliff Melton, Bill Lohrman and Harry Gumbert, each of whom has won several more than they have lost. With tight play all the rest of the way, continued hitting by the Giant sockers and steady work by the mound corps, Terry's club may come through at the top of the heap. on's Coal team and that leaves the Bill's Place boys up in sec- ond place in the standing. *¢ * * With the second half of the sche- dule simost concluded the race is tightening up a great deal and right now it looks like either Dix- on's Coal or St. John's to be left out in the cold. * ¢ 0 Oshawa Tennis Club's team took a beating last night from the Bank of Commerce squad.

BILL'S PLACE WIN ANOTHER, BEAT DIXON'S Bill's Place jumped right up into second place in the league race when they chalked up their fourth- straight victory last night, at Cow- an's Park, defeating Dixon's Coal, 18-6, Williams hurled good ball in spots for the Coal Heavers, five strikeouts in the first four innings but the heavy-hitting Bill's Place team had three big rallies which netted all of their 15 runs. They got five in the second inning, seven in the sixth and three more in the eighth, In the first bad frame, Williams walked three batters, then McAtee clicked for g hit, Ritchie and De- pew did the same and five runs scored. In the sixth frame, there were only two walks, but two errors, two singles, a double and a homer by Goose Hewson netted the win- ners seven runs and enough in the one frame to win the game. They added three more in the 8th for good measure on hits by Wilson, Parfitt, Hewson and McAtee. Hewson and Geo. Ritchie were the big batters for the winners with R. Wilson next in line for honors. Dixon's Coal scored one in the first and one in the 8th and the only single inning in which they really got to the offerings of Wally Kosal was in the fifth. Andeley walked, Seneco singled, Williams singled and so did Romaneski. Then Rospond tripled and that netg ted four runs altogether, Beneco was the only big. hitter for the losers, none of the others getting more than one safe hit.

Each year the winner of the "B" section moves up into the "A" sec- tion and the team finishing last in the "A" section automatically drops | at club headquarters giving the boys | back into "B" section. In the "B" section this year the B. of C. team finished firs. with us | second and so the two teams played off last night on neutral courts at the Toronto Cricket Club. Each won two matches and so the next basis for decision automatically was used which is number of sets won. The B. of C. team won by two sets according to this basis. Armstrong of Oshawa won in *e sets from Costella, 2-6, 6-2, 6-2. ..arker and Dodwell played good tennis but were unable to. take the measure of the crack team of Mc- Neil and Irish. The latter pair, it will be remembered, were the final. ists in the district tournament held here July 1st, Scores--6-2, 6-2.

This event was the first time the club has entered any ser- fous competition and although this score will likely be well beaten, it was nevertheless very good for the first time out and no doubt the boys will do considerably better in the next competition they enter.

Fifteen Runs in First Frame Wins Game for Victor's In a free-scoring tilt st North | Simcoe School grounds last night, Victor's nosed out Westmount Mounties by a score of 17 to 16 in a Juvenile fixture, which had been previously postponed. The whole story of the victory lies in the fact that Victors scored fifteen runs in the first inning when they simply lam-basted the cover off the ball as McKee tossed 'em up. Walks, singles, doubles, these along with errors, were com- mon but Andrews with a triple and a homer, both in the same inning, was the big gun of the frame. Wragg and Bryant also had two safe hits each in the same inning, Every player on the club crossed the plate at least once in that big inning. After that big splash, the Victors were so tired they couldn't do much i more but they did get one in the fourth on a double by Morphy and one by Andrews and then another run in the fifth on three singles by Brown, Hicks and Hobbs. Mounties, who have more "fight- ing spirit" than any club in the league, fought back gamely and al- most made it. They scored three in the first inning, three more in the second, the same in the third and then six in the fourth inning to tie the score at 15-gil. However, the effort of overhaul- ing Victor's big lead was too much for the Mounties and a change of pitchers didn't help either. Oross- man took over from Hobbs in the middle of the big rally. After the bad inning was over, he settled down, shut out the Mounties for two frames sad yielded one run in the seventh. Lakas beat out a bunt. Batten walked. Miners scored Lakas but forced Batten and Vann forced Miners to end the game, In. the free-hitting affair, every- Body had a good night at the bat but Andrews for the winners was the big gun with three doubles, a triple and a homer for a perfect night.

Advoca- tor defeated Joe Schenick by a length and a half, with Yale O'Nine third, WESTMOUNT IS BACK IN FIRST, WHIP SAINTS Westmount Bronks, who were greatly in danger of losing their grip on first plate in the local Jun- for softball race, took a fresh hold last night with a 16-9 victory over St. John's, 3 Bill's Place vaulted from the cellar into second place with a win over Dixon's Coal. It was a nice even ball game up |. at Westmount diamond last night until the last of the sixth inning. At that stage, the Broncs were trail- ing the Szints by 7 to 6 but Bunny Zakarow, who pitched nice ball for five innings, weakened badly. Big- wood opened the disastrous framfe with a" homer. Hardy walked but was forced out and then with two out, Wilson singled hard and Mec- Mullen hit a double, to complete a 3-run rally and put the Broncs out in front. They finished "going away". Zak- arow was left in for the seventh when Westmount bunched two walks, a triple, a double and a single, plus one error, for four more runs. In the 8th, after a single «ad a triple, Paul Osmok took over but couldn't 'get the raly stopped until three more runs had scored, making it 16-7. St. John's scored two more runs in the 9th on an error and a hit by Fraser. Wilson's homer in the first, with a mate aboard, gave Bronks their first two runs. Bigwood's homer, behind Bligdon's single, meant two more in the second. McConkey scored in the third and McMullen hit & homer in the fifth. Bigwood, with two homers and a long triple, was the big clouter for the winners, with Wilson, McMullen, Bawks and McConkey also doing some nice hitting. : For St. John's, Kowanick, Brown, Fraser, who had a homer, Tureski and McMaster were their best hit- ters. The fielding gems were pulled off by Forshee and Bawks, both of whom meide brilliant catches. 8T.

Poor Attendance Causes Postponing Soccer Finals Winnipeg, July 4--Sam Davidson; secretary-treasurer of the Domin- fon Football Association, yesterday announced cancellation of the Doe minion football play-offs for this year. 'vhe decision to cafieel the play offs was reached after an investiga- tion of Provincial play-down gate receipts by the Association council. Davidson's statement announcing the cancellation follows: . "A recommendation to this effect was received from the British Col- umbia Football Association and af- ter checking over the attendances at the gates played in the qualify- ing series, it was found that the ate tendances showed a very consider. able decrease, some Provinces show= ing decreases of 50 per cent. The above figures force us to the conclusion that the play-offs could only be conducted at a serious loss to both our association and the clubs participating. Our associa~ | tion is not in a position to stand this loss and we believe very few, if any, of the clubs can do so either. YR CIGARETTES to two singles, and hit a homer to help his. own causa
