Lions ! finally won a 10-8 decision when { Jimmy Deniels hit a homer in the H eighth inning, with one out and a { mate on first base. ! Daniels' four-ply blow ended the | game after Mounties had forced { Lions into extra innings by a spir- } ited display of softball. The Moun- ! ties scored four runs in the first inning when McLaughlin got away to @ shaky start. In the fourtn, Mounties were leading 6-2 and they | were leading 8-5 in the fifth but ! Lions clicked for three runs in their ! half of the inning, to make it 8-8. After that, neither team scored - again until the eighth. McLaughlin, with two homers, played a big part at the plate in his own gs'me, his hits be- ing a big help in the two three-run rallies staged by Lions in the 4th and 5th innings. Daniels homer won the game and he previously had a double. They were the only two Lions batters who had much success against the Mounties' hurl- Parks hit a homer for Mounties but for the most part, hits were scarce with them. They got most of their runs by making use of the walks issued by McLaughlin and running fast on Lions' errors. The teams: MOUNTIES: Batton, Miners, Val- entine, Rospond, Van, LaBrash, La- kas, Brudek, Parks. LIONS: McIntyre, Daniels, De- wies, Fowler, Monaghan, Pelkey, McArthur, Turner, Raike, and Mc- Laughlin. Larry 0'Connor Double Winner At Track Meet Toronto, July 18--Larry O'Connor of Toronto West End Y.M.C.A., hol- der of the Canadian record for the 110-metre high hurdles and George Downing of the same club raced to victory in two events to record the only double triumph at the On- tario track and field championships here last night. O'Connor, internationally famous rack star, won the 110-metre high hurdles and 440-yard events, and Downing the 100 and 220-yards sprints. Canadian record holder won the hurdle race over his clubmate, Doug. Armstrong, in 15:2, and the 440-yard race over Alan Everett of the Hamilton Olym- pic Club in 51:3. Downing retained his Provincial championship in the 100-yard dash by beating his clubmate, Pete Tay- lor, 1940, 100 and 200-yard Ontario junior champion, and Elliott Gooch of the Hamilton Olympic Club. Downing was timed in 10:2. The identical runners finished in the same positions in the 220-yard ev- ent, the winning time being 24 sec- onds flat. * Sammy Richardson, Toronto west } End Y.M.C.A,, holder of the Cana- + dian record for the running broad jump with a mark of 24 feet 11 inches, jumped a half-inch further than Wallace Brown of Toronto \.' West End Y.M.CA. to win this _ event. Frank Cater of the Toron- 8. to Police Force placed third.

Last Tuesday evening at the Exhibition Track in Toronto, he won two races out of two for a 1000 average. Winning the one mile open did not seem to satisfy him, so he really went to town and coppeh the two mile handicap as well. He rode from scratch in the handicap, that is, from the last starting line and caught the other riders on the last lap, going on to win over Tommie Leslie of Mimico and Hal Pringle of Oshawa, who finished in that order. * + * Hal Pringle did very well for him- self as he captured a second and a third in the two races, He was seC- ond in the one mile open and, as we mentioned above, third in the two mile handicap. * % * Evidently, we are not the only ones who rate our two ace riders with the best in the province. On Tues- day night, Pringle and Pugh were the only riders to start from scratch in the handicap. With such pedal. lers as Art Leadbetter, the Canad- fan track champion, Frank Strug- nell and Tommie Leslie starting ahead of them in a handicap event, it can easily be seen how the of- ficials rate them. + * While Oshawa was winning two races on the four event card, our Aurora friends were winning the other two. Cliff Chapman annexed the three mile Class "B" lap race, winning almost every lap. The one mile novice also went to an Aurora boy, but unfortunately we did not get his name. With the Aurora boys coming along so well, the bike fans very fine racing next Tuesday, when that club visits the city. It is not known yet if the track will be avail- able for this meet, but we will let everyone know before then, so watch for it on this page on Monday. + 5% From all advance notices, the bike races at the Police Games in To- ronto this coming Saturday are cer- tainly going to be worth seeing. Entries have been pouring in steadi- ly, so it looks like a big day. Osh- awa riders are making an effort to be there in full force and are also hoping to bring home the huge Dunlop Trophy for winning the two mile handicap. With Pringle and Pugh riding as they are now, it seems very likely that this might happen. Frank Ball, Pete Wilson, Borden Slack and some of the other boys will probably ride and may make it interesting for the others. There is also g half mile open event on the card, so if the boys ride as they did Tuesday evening, we can start cheering now. + + » It seems that Art Leadbetter has rode his last bike race. The Can- adian champ hasn't been riding very much this year and when he did, he did not seem to be in very good shape. After the races on Tuesday night, he stated that he was through. If Art does quit the game, bike racing will lose one of its greatest stars, He has been riding for ten years or more and has won many championships. Last season, he captured the Ontario Board Track Championship and also the Canadian Dirst Track Champion- chip. He has been one of the most consistent riders we have ever seen, always being in perfect condition and a good sportsman as well. He has ridden for the love of the game, having many offers to turn profes- sional but has stuck to the amateur end, \d * + That covers just about everything for this week, folks, except that we would like to see some of the Osh- awa fans up at Toronto on Satur- day. You saw how the police ath- letes performed last Saturday in the Shamrock Track meet, so we know you won't be disappointed. YANKEES EDGE TRIBE & FELLER New York, July 18 -- Cleveland, Indians climbed into first place in the American League yesterday by the inspiring process of losing a thirteen-inning 4-3 decision to New York Yankees. Detroit Tigers, of course, co-oper- ated by losing both ends of a dou- bleheader at Boston and fell hack to a tie with the Red Sox for sec- ond place. The struggle at Yankee Stadium, sparsely populated by 16,084 fans, might have been a magnificent pitching battle between rabid Ro- bert Feller and Marcellus Monte Pearson, a couple of no-hit heroes on their best days, But some apnoying trifles took the edge off the performance and sent the contest into overtime, fin- ally ending when Red Rolfe and Bill Dickey wrapped two singles around a sacrifice in the thirteenth for the deciding run. Until that time Feller, who had won fourteen games and lost nly five before today, had given the world champions just four hits. But he never had been ahead of the same. second base, Trio of Dykes Travel With White Sox 7 Jimmy Dykes, of the Chicago White Sox, made it a family affair at Fenway Park in Boston as the team worked out prior to game with the Boston Red Sox when he introduced his two sons and permitted the lads to practice with the squad.

'The challenge rang out just pefore midnight tonight as a private of the Local Defense Volunteers stopped an automobile on a road leading to a munitions factory in the south of England. From the driver's seat of the big limousine a uniformed chauffeur answered: "His Majesty, the King." The L.D.V, private, obeying or- ders peered inside the car. He stif- fened to the salute as he recognized the King in his Admiral's uniform, and waved the car on. The King was on his way to pay a surprise visit to the factory.

This Makes It Official, Lew Presentation of a gold belt symbolic of the lightweight champion- ship finally makes it official that Lew Jenkins is the titleholder. presentation took place at Lew's training camp at Grossinger Lake, N.Y., where he preps to meet Henry Armstrong. Promoter Mike Jacobs, Commissioner Bill Brown, Jenkins, Ring Maga- zine Editor Nat Fleischer and Hymie Kaplan, Lew's manager. The LEFT to RIGHT, New York, July 18.--A wild as- sortment of high-explosive bombs dropped square in the middle of the Polo Grounds last night, and when the smoke cleared away there was 1i'l Henry Armstrong the' bossman again, He didn't come through without absorbing some damage, but his cannon packed more dynamite, and he put Lightweight Champion Lew Jenkins away in six rounds of &% wild and woolly a battle between | two little men as has enterteined the customers since Benny Leonard and Lew Tendler were serving them | up. No title was at stake. For three rounds the welter- weight champion just waded in anc took a good sound licking. Then he found the range. He battercd the lightweight titleholder to the floor six times through the' nex' three heats and hurt him so badly that the Texas thin man just couldn't make it for the seventh. | He slumped to his knees in his own | corner ten seconds before the bell rang opening the seventh, and the State Athletic Commission ruled it a six-round technical knockout for the great little negro. Didn't Remember a Thing A fair-sized crowd, somewhat less then expected because of threaten- ing weather, loved it. They roar- ed when Jenkins started to pitch his right hand in the early going. They howled when he opened a cut on "Hennery the Hammer's" left cye in the fourth. They shook the stands when Lew went down for the first time in the fourth, and from there on to the finish they pulled out all the stops as Jenkins went down twice more in the fifth a~1 three times in the sixth, Afterward, in his dressing roow, th: skinny slugger from Sweetwat:c said he did not remember a thing after the early minutes of the fight For the last five minutes of the fight he was going up and down like an elevator and must have been all worn out getting to his feet. He was game to the finish, but gameness wasn't the prescription the doctor ordered last night, Henry, gone back somewhat from the fine little fighting machine who held the featherweight, lightweight and welterweight crowns simultaneously at his peak from 1936 to '39, still is a great bettler.
