Supertests Win Over Lions for Major Upset, 4-1 Clark's Supertests, who last year at about this time, under the name of "Hoboes," started to roll along in great style, clicked off an upset victory last night when they de- feated the league-leading Lions by a score of 4-1, in the closest game of the Juvenile schedule. Played on Park road south, the game was one of the best seen in 'Westmount in years. The home club clicked for four runs in the first inning when Black walked, Tony Higgins beat a bunt, MacInally walked and then with one out Hodgson singled and MaclInally scored on a wild pitch. Hodgson scored later on a similar play to make it a 4-run rally. After that, Ted McLaughlin held the Clark's team completely off the score- sheet, in fact, they only got two mort hits in the entire game. BUT it was enough to win for the Supertests proceeded to give the nicest display of defensive softball seen this season as they held Lions to one lone tally and they didn't get that one until Fowler, first bat- ter in the last inning, hit @ triple and scored after there were two out, on a hit by Rudka. Pitching equally as well as Mc- Laughlin, Johnson for the Clark's was as steady as @ rock and his mates behind him were "the : rock." Trimm pulled off a couple of sizzling double-plays to shut off Lions' threatening rallies. Lions had seven hits as against four for the winners but they couldn't bunch 'em for runs. The Supertest in- field and outfield all starred. Daniels and Davies each had two _ hits for the winners, whole Hig- b t3 gins, Keeler, Hodgson and Trimm divided the four safe blows for Clarks', The teams: LIONS: McIntyre, c¢; Pelkey, rf; Daniels, 2b; Davies, 3b; Mc- Millan, cf; Fowler, If; McLaughlin, p; McArthur, ss; Rudka, 1b, CLARK'S: Black, If; T.

RANCHERS REGAIN THEIR LEAGUE LEAD With a combination of , almost perfect fielding, timely hitting, and with afi assortment of distance clouts, George James' Pleasure Val. ley Softball team vanquished Palm Billidrds, their rivals for top hon- ors,' last night down at Lakeview Park, finishing up with a 12-7 vic- tory. © Errors, failure 'to hit in the pinches, and indifferent fielding on the part of the Palm Billiard "Cues" contributed to "their own downfall, and nullified somewhat the fine pitching effort turned in by "Hooch" Melemeester. Actually, the relation of hits to runs was the same in both cases, P.V.R. securing twelve runs for P thirteen hits, the "Cues" getting seven runs for eight hits. But while the winners seeined able to produce a hit whenever it was needed, the Billiardmen errored miserably when- ever a snappy play would have cut off runs. The losers nicked Mullins, on the P.V.R. mound, for five singles, two doubles and a homer by that reli- able shortstop, Hall, the doubles be- ing contributed by Potts and Hobbs. Now Safe on Top As a result of the win, Pleasure Valley are this morning firmly en- trenched in the top berth of the Independent Softball Loop, with although they have both played the same number of games. In third place are the Orioles with three wins in eight starts, all at the e¢x- pense of the Apprentices who are holding down fourth place. Last night's game between Orioles and Apprentices was defaulted to the Orioles, when the Apps were unable to field a team. With most of their lineup working overtime, the luckless Apps had to drop an- other game by default. P.V.--Mullins, p; Taylor, e¢; Gul- liver, 1b; B. Hobbs, 2b; J.

Orioles Apprentices Bunty Lawless Nosed Out at Wire In Comeback Race Rochester, July 5--~The pace-set- ting Rochester Red Wings tramped over Toronto Maple Leafs twice yesterday, to the delight of 7,000 holiday spectators. A pair of youth- ful right-handers, Herschel Lyons and Hank Gornicki each won his eleventh victory of the season, in recording 9-1 and 4-2 victories. While Lyons held the Leafs to four hits, including two in the ninth for the lone Toronto run of the opener, the Wings pounded Les McCrabb and John Pezzullo for thirteen solid smacks including homers by Davis and Kurowski. The leaders kept up the extra-base barrage in the nightcap, driving Carl Fischer to cover in the fifth. one more win than the Billiardmerf;\ SMITH WAS WITH THE NEN YORK GIANTS FoR A FEW YEARS BUT NEVER CREATED MUCH OF A SENSATION A 4 \ AR ' HE FOUND AMSELF BUFFALO LAST YEAR, WINNING | 16 GAMES FOR THE BISONS | IS EXCEEDING ALL EXPECTATIONS oN THE. MOUND FOR THE THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, JULY 5, 19 TRAINING PILOTS AT LOCAL FIELD Ottawa Approves Ally's Use of Island Airport For Flyers Toronto, July 5.--Toronto's Island Airport is to become the main training ground for fighting pilots of the Norwegian Air Force it has been learned. An agreement has already been signed between the city of Toronto, which owns and operates the airport, end a repre- sentative of the Norwegian govern- ment, 4 Official Ottawa approval of the use of the Island Airport by a for- eign government has been granted. There was no difficulty there, as 'Norway, with a refugee government headed by King Haakon in London, is still an ally of Britain and Canada. Bernt Balchen, who has been sta- tioned in the United States for some months as head of the Norwegiaa Air Mission, will arrive in Toronto within a few days, it was announc- ed. ) Balchen, who flew the Atlantic in the early days and has also flown over the South Pole, was appointed heesd of Norway's civil aviation in 1935, He has been in the United States supervising purchase of war- planes for Norway since last fall. Balchen's pet scheme is to take good United States flyers who are over the age limit for the Royal Air Force or the Royal Cgnadian Afr Force, train them on today's fast United States fighters, 6f which Norway has purchased a hundred, and send them over to his country to fight. It is expected these are the men who will be trained at the Island Airport. Mayor Dey confirmed that 125 Norwegian flyers will commence training at the Island airport at once. The training will be carried out under the same terms and con-~ ditions as R.C.AF. flyers are being trained at the Mziton airport. The men will be housed in temporary buildings on the north side of the ship channel. Training planes will be brought from the United States. Official representative of the Nor-" wegian Government who has been dealing with Toronto civic officials .was revealed &s Col. Oscar Klingen- berg, who was inspector-general of artillery forces of the Norwegian army until April 24, The flyers and their planes should arrive in Tc- ronto within the next few weeks, he declared. ; RED WINGS WHIP TORONTO TWICE Fort Erle, Ont, July 5.--Making his first start since last fall, when he was injured while being shipped by train to Chicago, Willie Morris- sey's home-bred champion, Bunty Lawless, made a brilliant showing here yesterday, but suffered defeat by a nose in the final stride when K. T. Dawes' Brodea charged to a thrilling victory. FIFTH COLUMN * CAUSES ALARM IN GUATEMALA "People's Revolt" Brewing U.S. Embassy Told -- Mexico Elections Seen as Screen Mexico City July 5.--Fifth Col- umn activity is assuming "alarm ing proportions" in the Republic of Guatemala, bordering Mexico on the southeast, it was reported yes- terday. ! Foreign elements plotting there, it was said, might attempt to utile ize the presidential election in Mexico this Sunday to incite trouble throughout Latin America, Three Guatemalans, it was learn- ed, recently visited the US. em-' bassy here and volunteered infor- mation that @ "people's revolution" was brewing in Guatemala against Gen. Jorge Ubico, president. An agent of a nation friendly to the United 'States who was station- ed in Central Americer said the. plot reported by the three Guatemalans was not fostered by Guatemalans but was inspired by European for- eign elements. The agent said the German le~ gation in Guatemala City, the capi- tal, was distributing as many as 1,- 000 copies -of a "news bulletin" daily which not only gave partisan war news, but bitterly attacked the CLEVELAND INDIANS United States and Britain, OSHAWA BLUES WIN OVER BOWMANVILLE Oshawa Blues won a nip-and- tuck ball game over Bowmanville Roamers on Wednesday night by the score of 14-9, Bowmanville started off with hits and these combined with five Osh- awa errors in the second inning gave the Roamers a 4 run lead. Oshawa soon put in the reserves and from there on slowly gained control of he situation. Double : | plays played a large part in the game with' no less than four being completed, two apiece. Both teams started new pitchers on the mound. M. Pennington for Oshawa and C. Colville for Bow- manville, but the batters soon found the mark and five strike-outs were registered. Oshawa's reserves have bolstered the team since the last game and they now have a well- balanced club. The main hit of the night was the long fly by F. Johns, which rolled right to the fence.

It was Marchildon's STATEMENT ON FORD R WORK IN CANADA This Company is in the war to the full limit of its resources. Until the British Empire is victorious, until the battle for freedom of nations and liberty of peoples is won, we have pledged all the vast manufacturing facilities of our Canadian and overseas affiliated companies to the service of the Empire. We regard this to be our simple duty as a Canadian in- stitution, one of the industrial resources of the Dominion. The 8,400 employees in our plants as well as our wide- spread dealer and service organization from coast to coast are Canadian. The Company's shareholders include a large proportion of Canadian investors. No one individual, family or company has a majority control of our shares. For these reasons, aside from our deep feeling of loyalty to the Empire and its high purposes, it is fitting that Ford Motor Company of Canada, Limited should give whole- hearted support to the national war effort. From the very beginning this has been our course. Even before war was declared, in co-operation with officers of the Department of National Defence, we laid in our plant the groundwork of military production. Since conflict became a reality we have given war orders precedence over everything else. More than fifty per cent of our pro- duction is in vehicles for military use and this percentage is increasing rapidly. We are now engaged in supplying approximately 35,000 motorized vehicles of many types, of which 10,000 are for f the Canadian government and 25,000 for other Empire : governments. We are constructing at our own expense a $700,000 are similarly engaged in Empire service. rendering valuable service. freedom and peace. Statement in Parliament by the Hon. C. D. Howe, Minister of Munitions and Supply "The president of the Canadian Company has shown perhaps as keen a desire to assist in Canada's war effort as any citizen of this Dominion has done. His corporation since the outbreak of the war has done and is doing very important work for Canada's war effort, in the way of building motor transports and Universal carriers. The company has placed itself entirely in the hands 'of the government as to the terms of the contract which it has had. "A contract, providing for a fixed price as low as we could find any basis for asking, was worked out; an overriding provision was inserted that the books of the company would be audited and if the stipulated price produced a profit more than a very low percentage indeed, that price would be scaled down.accordingly. In other words, the work of the Ford Motor Company of Canada, its attitude toward the war, and its ability to assist in Canada's war effort, have been so far as I have been able to observe, beyond criticism." Statement in Senate by Senator Raoul Dandurand, Government Leader in the Senate "Ford Motor Company of Canada is doing its utmost to serve the interests of the country, the War Supply Board and the Governe ment." Statement in the Senate by Rt. Hon. Arthur Meighen, Conservative Leader in the Senate "They (Ford dealers in Canada) are numbered in the hundreds. And the number of employees of these dealers is very large. The ramifications are tremendous. For all the purposes concerning us, the Company is a Canadian concern, and I can add to the assur- ance given by the honourable leader of the House my own feeling that there are no better Canadians than those at the head of the Ford Motor Company of Canada and throughout that Company's organization. They will assist us to the utmost in our war . work." a Types of Motorized Vehicles for Military Use Being Made by Ford Motor'Compuiny of Canada The Company is gaged in facturing 35,000 motorized vehicles for Canadian and over- seas governments. They include light two-wheel drive trucks, knows as 8-cwt., which are used for carrying light stores, personnel or wireless sets; 15-cwt. units, used to transport heavier loads, Women's Auxiliary Motor Service Barly in the war the Ford Motor Company of Canada, Limited, organized free training courses for women in the care and operation of motor vehicles for possible wat service. 284 such classes have been conducted, with an enrollment of 7,343. The number who have completed the eight week course is 3,473, with 2,656 now under instruction and 1,214 enrolled in new classes about to start, All instruction and equipment has been furnished by Ford dealers and the Company without charge: v plant addition to provide facilities for the building of Universal machine gun carriers of which we have under- taken to deliver fifty a week to the Canadian government as soon as production can be started. This addition will also enable us to increase production of other types of military vehicles. Our affiliated companies with. plants in South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, India and Malaya Beyond our manufacturing facilities we have been fore tunately able to contribute skilled man-power. From our Canadian and overseas organization, engineers and men with special training in transport and other lines are Major adjustments in our business have been necessary through loss of export trade and because of domestic taxa- tion. We have made these adjustments cheerfully.
