The "kids", some of them twelve years of age, start playing at six-thirty. There's another game booked for 7.30 p.m. and then of course, the Senior "B" game starts at nine o'clock. It's Brooklin vs. Oshawa tonight. *> + Those who went down to the Stadium on Saturday afternoon were surprised at the skill displayed by these youngsters as they wielded the gutted-sticks. There are more than 500, that's right, a half-thous- . and, red-blooded youngsters of this city who have bought their own lacrosse sticks this summer through the Minor Lacrosse League and are now eligible to play in the various sections of the organized associa- tion. The games on Saturday after- noon showed that the lads are learning fast and tonight's games, before the big game, will be worth seeing if you want to take a run down a little earlier than usual. > * © Now that it looks as if sum- mer has really arrived to stay and warmer weather is here, the lacrosse club is looking for a big- ger attendance at their games. Brooklin visits the Coca-Colas tonight and the "Cokes" are out to hand the Brooklin team a defeat.

The Cortown team almost pulled a surprise on the Lions, who had to stage big rallies near the fin- ish to cinch the result. * % Another club has dropped out of the Juvenile race. Young Ukfainian Nationsls have decided that they can not carry on any longer and so have notified the League of their in- tentions to fold up. Having played almost a complete schedule, the Y.U.N. players will not be able to play for any other Juvenile team this year but may play Junior. * + Y.UN. were supposed to have played Vikings on Friday night but they defaulted. Tonight, Y.U.N. are booked to play Lions and this game will also likely be defaulted by the "Ukes". Other Juvenile gemes booked for tonight are Victors at Vikings, Lakeview Park and Cork- town vs. Terriers, over at Bathe Park. + + & Tuesday night, the Interme- diates and Juniors are all in ac- tion. Pepsi-Colas visit John's Place at the Whitby Town Park while Fiberglas and "Tannery" clash at Motor City Stadium. The glass-makers are after a win tomorrow night against . Tannery, in order to stay in the running. Pepsi-Colas are also out to win in Whitby but will likely find their task a bit dif- flout. {ball must be played to reach the In the Junior ranks," they end their second schedule tomorrow night. Bill's Place visit Westmount Broncs and that will be a regular slug-fest while at Cowan's Park, Dixon's Coal and St. John's clash agetin, with cellar position as the "doom" for the losers. * + Well, no doubt we should be thankful for some things, in- cluding the fact that Ostranders will not likely play here again this season. They seem to do fairly well in mid-week games against their Toronto opposiiion but they certainly haven't look- ed senior calibre in their two trips to Oshawa, On Saturday, they couldn't have beaten any of the Lakeshore League inter- mediaie clubs. * b+ + We understand that "Snowball" Wilson, first-baseman, centrefield- er "Andy" McMullen and "Doug" Furey, hurler, all members of Osh- awa's good Junior clubs in recent years, are going to don Ostrander uniforms this week. They'll be an improvement to the club, that's a cinch--but the loss of Wilson and McMullen may be a headache to Westmount Broncs and Joe Chile derhose, for a week or two. + * Four Ostrander hurlers showed nothing at all on Saturday. In the field, Larkin had five errors and there were four others, while Osha. wa made five too. It's a habit that soon becomes a plague. *® + @ Frank McGarry, who to our way of thinking is just about the best pitcher in the Inter- City loop, didn't work hard at any stage. He merely breezed through on the strength of 18- hits by his mates, They were plenty of extra-base blows, a homer, six triples and three doubles, not to mention fifteen singles. Quite a day for the hitters and "Peg" Hurst, "Red" Jubenville ard Moose Matthews all helped their batting aver- ages. Hurst held the high .500 mark while the other two gave their percentage a boost. * +» It was poor baseball, slow and dull to watch. The locals play in Peterboro next Saturday and up in Toronto this Wednesday night, a floodlight game. After that, there'll be some "home" games and local ball fans can look forward to the visits of such clubs as Peterboro, Parkdale Derbys and Grads, the real opposition of the league. > + * Oshawa Yacht Club sailors suffered from "lack of wind" this week-end. Some of Satur- day's races failed to finish with- in the required time-limit and had to be run off again. All the times for the various events of the week-end, were compara- tively slow. * % * A couple of Oshawa owners made good showings in the power-boat races out at Lake Scugog on Satur- day. * » + Decision of the colleges to suspend imter-collegiate sport activities for the duration of the war, will greatly . curtail the number of outstanding sport attractions, with the autumn rugby games being the big loss in sport enteriainment. » + ® Playing at the Haliburton golf course on July 4, Charlie Eder of this city chalked up a hole-in-one, on a difficult 150-yd. hole, on which the pin is screened from the tee by groups of trees, over which the cup in a straight line, This is only the third time an "ace" has been made on the Haliburton course since it was established seven years ago. * +b Peterboro lacrossers are im- proving in leaps amd bounds, with Red Creighton back in | MEN'S and | as yo RTSWEAR This usually presents a heavy task for the cleaner--but our experts are ~ equal to it.

On Seturday, Rochester Red Wings scored three unearned runs for a 4 to 3 triumph while at Montreal Sunday, the Roy- als grabbed a double triumph, win- ning by scroes of 6-0 and 5-3. Home runs by Augie Bergam and Whitey Kurowski cost Phil Marchil- don the geme at Rochester. Montreal, July 8--~Thanks to the Leafs, the Royals were charging back toward the first division fol- lowing a twin triumph Sunday be- fore 5219 paying patrons. The scores were 6 to 0 and 5 to 3. The Royals' Cémadian contempo- raries encountered right-handed Bill Crouch in the first game and their hit harvest was indeed lean. They were limited to two blows by #Crouch, these being - singles by Chapman in the fourth and Grey in the seventh. Only once did they get a man £5 far as third base.

At the meeting it was decided to ascist the Government in making the new Mobilization Act effective by having every student take com- pulsory army training when the college opens this fall, and it was felt that this would be aided ma- terially by cancelling intercollegiate | sports. Details of the cancellation of such gport schedules will not be made known until later, but it is under- stood to be inclusive of all sport events, Warren Stevens, athletic director of the Universityof Toronto was not available for comment. A meeting of Intercollegiate athletic heads had been planned for late in August at | which time it was planned to dis- cuss the advisability of continuing with football and hockey for- the season of 1040. Doug Kerr, McGill's footbatl coach, said that "naturally I'm sorry that there is no football this fall, but it is a minor matter in yimes | like this, when the welfare of the country comes before everything else." Montreal, July 8--Dr. A. S. Lamb, director of the Department of Phys. ical Education at McGill University, said Friday night that the decision to cancel all intercollegiate sports for the duration of the war had not been unexpected among university officials. "The universities will now map out individual programs for intra- mural sports in which all students may take part without losing time from military training," Dr. Lamb sald, | Louis next Tuesday. ALL-STAR BERTH FOR EDDIE MILLER New York, July 8 -- Eddie Miller, former Toronto player and now Boston Bees shortstop, was selected Friday to replace Bill Jurges of New York Giants on the National League All-Star team, which will meet the pick of the American League in St. Jurges is con- valescing from a head Injury. ART UPPER GETS NO-HIT, NO-RUN OILERS BEAT P'S Toronto, July 8--Two brilliant games featured the Inter-City base- ball twin bill at Maple Leaf Stad- jum on Saturday, with Riverdale Grads and Good Rich Oilers being returned winners. The former shut | out Perkdale Derbys 5 to 0, while the latter repulsed Peternoro 5 to 3. Excellent pitching was the order of the dey with Art Upper's no-hit, no-run effort in the first game claiming the spotlight, the River- dale Grads' ace southpaw entering the mythica! hall of fame with a grand performance as he chalked up his fourth win of the campaign. Sparkling defensive work, plus a nine-strikeout effort, left no doubt in the minds of close to 1,000 fans as to the ultimate outcome. Upper was complete master, the Parkdalians being only able to nawvi- gate one runner as far as second during the seven innings of action. Upper also stole the snow offensive- ly by claiming two: of his team's 4 hits, with Park cfead of him. The second game also featured a neat flinging effort by Al Yarnell, on the hill for Good Rich Oilers. The. big Port Credit righthander set the Petes down with a four-hit effort, while on the other hand "Iron Man" Joe Jakafby went to the well just once too often and succumbed to a ten-hit powdering by the. homesters. One big inning, the first, settled the issue, when the Oilers led down a damaging five-hit outburst, with Ken Long lifting one of Jakafby's pitches out of the ball park to account for three of the Oilers' first-inning markers. x Remus Points officially. Remus Harry Short up, a candidate for the 1940 Hambletonian stake and who will match strides with a host of other Hambletonian entrants at the Toledo Grand Circuit races, July 8-12, in what is tnown as "the little Hambletonian" for a purse of $4,500 called the Matron ssake Remus is the largest horse despite his mere three years of age, campaigning on the Grand Circuit, For Hambletonian Supertests Win Another Game, Defeat Victor's Clark's Supertests chalked up an- other Juvenile softball victory on Friday night up at North Simcoe School grounds when they took the measure of Murray Kirby's Victors by a score of 12 to 6. The third inning saw the "Ollers" break up the ball game with an eight-run rally that fairly blasted Crossman from the mound. Met- calfe and Trimm both walked and then doubled, Higgins singled and so did MacInally. An error and two more singles completed «ie rally. The winners added two more in the fourth frame and again in the fifth inning, to complete their total. MacInally, with four hits in five trips, Black and Keeler with three gafe blows each, along with Weatherup, who had two for three, were the big hitters for the win- ners. Only Wragg was able to do much damage against Keeler's steady hurling. The Victors made good use of the walks and errors given up by the Supertests and some extra- base hits by Crossman and Wragg also helped out. Keeler only allowed four hits, for one of the best pitch- ing displays in the Juvenile ranks this summer.

C. gave Lions a real scare up at Alexandra Park on Fri. day night and it wasn't until the last innings that Lions were able to definitely salt away a 19-13 win and thus keep their spot as league- leaders in the Juvenile loop. It was a nip-and-tuck tussle for the first four innings and then in the fifth, with the score 5-2 for Corktown, Lions broke out with a rally which netted them eight runs, Triples by McMillan and Rudka, along with two-baggers by Fowler and Monaghan, greatly helped in the big splash. After this success Lions manged out four more in the sixth inning, on a homer by Fowler and hits by the other batters previously men- tioned. It looked to be safely tucked away but Corktown blasted Sawyer with an 8-run splurge in their half of the sixth inning, aided by quite a few walks and a nice homer by Reid. This made the score 14-13 and the frightened Lions went to work in the Tth, scoring five more runs in another hitting splurge, to cinch the win, Neither pitcher showed a great deal after the fourth inning. and hitting won the game for Lions, with Pelkey, Monaghan and Turner each getting three hils but Me- Millan giving them all g lesson. McMillan batted five times and scored five runs and yet officially, he had only four hits out of four |: official trips. He walked the other ! time.
