They were leading all the way through the game and held an 8-5 lead going 'into the 8th inning when Broncs showed some real fighting spirit and came from behind with a hit- ting rally to knot the count. Both Tony Romaneski and Jack McCon- key hurled great ball again, It be- gins to look now that it is a ques- tion whether or not Tony can keep up two Westmount hurlers, McCon- key and McLaughlin. So far, he has held an edge. * 4 9 The General Motors Gold Cup lawn bowling tournament held at the Oshawa Club greems yesterday and ending up in the wee, sma' hours of this morn- ing, proved an outstanding suc- cess.

The Toronto hugling duo yielded five hits during the frame, includ- ing a pair of doubles, but three passes didn't help the local cause. The Leafs continued their amaz- ing display of light stickwork. The 20-year-old East, wno entered the game with a record of five wins and seven losses, permitted only one hit for six innings. That was a line smash by Tipton which Stur- geon couldn't handle. Behind an 8-0 lead, East coasted. through the final three frames. Latshaw's double and a single by Lodigiani gave the Leafs a run in the seventh and they tacked on thelr lagt score in the eighth on singles by Gray, Clifton and Tyler. --_-- Montreal, Aug. 22.---Gordon Mc- Lean of Beaumount led the quali- fiers 'in the opening round of the Montreal assistant professional golf tourney yesterday with a 74 over the Hampstead course.

In their half of the 7th, Dixon's broke out again and scored three runs on an error at third base and hits by Romaneski, Peters and a triple by Brabin. With the score 8-4, it looked to be a cinch win for Dixon's but the Brones fought back hard. Wetherup walked in the Tth and with one out, Peters threw low to ¥hird, giv- ing McMullen a life. McConkey singled to score Wetherup. In the 8th, Westmount tied it up when Hardy opened with a single and Smith, batting for Cameron, drew a walk. Wilson singled to score Hardy and then Wetherup singled and in some wild base-running, after McMullen had singled, Mc- Mullen and Bawks and Wetherup were all retired, the last two on a double-play. Neither club scored in the 9th, Bawks and McConkey were the best hitters for Westmount while Seneco, Romaneski, Willlams and Wilson were the big clouters for Dixon's. Having played two games in the first three, the two clubs will now meet again at the Stadium on Fri- day evening, with a "toss" for home game. Westmount must win in order to force a sudden-death game on Saturday afternoon. If Dixon's win on Friday night, they'll play Belleville hare on Saturday afternoon.

East York Ties Score in Last Minute of Game, Then Go On to Win in Overtim Coca- Colas L Lose Two Stor Players, Shine Bovin and Stan Cook, in First Half of Rough Tussle POORLY HANDLED Visitors Scored Tying Goal in Last Minute of Play and Then Outplayed Tired Oshawa Team in Overtime | Oshawa Coca-Colas faded from the 1940 Senior "B" playoffs last night when they lost a 13-11 over- time decision to the East York la- crossers, in one of the roughest and most spirited games ever played at the Motor City Stadium. It was a tough game to lose for the Oshawa lacrosse team for they gave everything they had in a des- perate effort to win and force a third game. They played all out and yet were the victims of more tough "breaks" in the one game than most clubs received in a season. Minus the services of Earl Ar- mour and Glenn Salter, star de- fensemen, along with Frankie Ed- dolls, ace scorer of the team who is on the side-lines with a twisted ankle, the Coca-Colas etill trotted out a strong line-up and until they were 'blasted by injuries in the sec- ond period, held -théir own, in fact held a slight lead over East York and it wasn't until one minute be- fore the final bell that East York scored the tying goal to make {t 10-10 and then they went on in overtime to outplay the fast-tiring Oshawa team and take the decision. Two Players Hurt Oshawa lost two of their ace- high players early in the struggle. Stan Cook, hard-working centre of the team and one of the most re- liable ball-carriers in the league, suffered a broken nose and a few minutes later, early in the ti stanza, "Shine" Bovin was put of action with a dislocated sho der. The loss of these two stars greatly felt by Oshawa, especie on the attack, as both have been the fore all season in the tea goal-scoring. Their roster depleted by injur| the rest of the Coca-Colas g everything they had in a gall attempt to win the game and th came within an eye-lash of do the trick. Blondey Hadley sco the tying goal just one minute fore the finish of the regulat time, when he shot at the net a mised and the ball rebounded the backboards, right into his st and on his second shot, he hit rigging. In the last three or four minu previous to East York scoring tying goal, Oshawa had outpla, the desperate East Yorkers and misted and the ball rebounded which would likely have cinc} the verdict, by scant margins. B ron and Campbell both hit the gol post with shots that had the gos beat while Grice, Sanders and C all missed glorious chances fr close-in range, by mére inches.
