No doubt they voted on that before the aldermen saw the front page of last night's Toronto Star, in which that sheet with typical authentic veracity, printed a picture of "four Toronto members of the Canadian Olympic team"--and one of the four was Nancy Murrall Mackay, who no doubt, like a lot of other Oshawa fans, wouldn't cheer for or admit any Toronto connections, "on pain of death." Nancy has belonged to several Toronto ladies' clubs, during her career as a sprinter--but she has lived in Oshawa, married in Oshawa : and bragged about Oshawa, practically all her life. But then, why get excited over typical Toronto tactics--although just the same, we'd like ! fo offer The Star "two bits" they couldn't name « Toronto address for Nancy Mackay. [ BY | Geo. H. !

Today's sport page carries a fine picture of the Phoenix Queens, world's champion lady softball team, who have on their rostér a couple of Hollywood movie stars--and besides that, they can really play softball. The U.A.W:A. is bringing the Phoenix Queens to Oshawa next Tuesday evening, to play a game against the famous Sunday Morning Class "Swing Skirts" of Toronto, and the total proceeds will go to the Kinsmen Civje Mem- orial Stadium fund. In addition to seeing the world's c fons in action against Canada's strongest girls' softball team, local fans will also have a chance at a flock of valuable attendance prizes, which 'have been 'arranged, Sunday Morning Class have played about a dozen games against men's softball teams this summer and the only & game they lost was a 3-2 decision to the Bowmanville All-Stars, Y down there about a month ago. They'll give the famous Phoenix Queens a real battle, the softball fans will see a great game and a . great array of talented beauty, * »* + : Big softball game of the evening is at Alexandra Park tonight, when : U.A'W.A. meets GM-Colts, for the last time before the playoffs. These ! two teams are at present tied for second place and tonight's game will ! géttle that spot, for the time being. GM-Colts got busy last week and : filled out the balance of their roster by signing "Red" Jubenville and ' Freddie Bidgood. This week (all players had to be signed by yesterday, July 15) the Pedlars team signed up a couple of players to round out | their squad, Lyle McIntyre and Bob Tyson, both of whom have plenty of softball experience, while U.A.W.A. also got busy with the fountain pen | and signed up Andy McMullen, Tony Romaniski and Gord. Hanna, all members of the Oshawa Merchants, who can hit a ball hard and have played as much, in fact, played more softball than they ever played on ' the big diamond. However, getting back to tonight's softball battle, Union will likely have McMullen, Romaniski and Hanna all in the game against { Colts and it should be a spirited softball test, drawing the biggest crowd of the season. 4% * * * SPORT SHORTS--Toronto Leafs are making the best showing in as many years as Burleigh Grimes has been away from the fold.

Jack Luckman, Leafs' shortstop, hurled for Guelph, allowing 13 hits but receiving good fielding support from his mates. Bert McCrudden lasted. until 'the eighth for Terriers when he gave way to Ed Bush. Mc- Crudden gave up all the Leafs' runs and 11 hits. Frank Liscombe led Guelph at bat with: three for four while Ralph Hammond and Leo McQuaid had two apiece, Mc- Crudden paced Galt's, attack with three safeties, one an inside-the- park homer, Changes Standings Coniston's 7-0 win over Garson switched their loop standings, Buz- zers climbing into fourth place. Chuck Hews, Coniston's second sacker, pitched five-hit ball in his first mound appearance. He struck started for Garson but was relieved in the second after issuing two hits, two walks and hitting a batter, Art Clemence allowed eight hits the rest of the way. The Houcks-Dodgers game went 10 innings with Carmen Rienzo on the Houck hill allowing nine hits and fanning 15 batters. Bob Wil- son's triple in the 10th sent across two runs to break a tie and he then scored on a wild pitch. Coach Roman Piskor of Dodgers was chas- ed in the fifth for arguing with the umpire.

Last night at Alexandra Park, they. proved to their fans that they are still going to be tough to stop in the play-offs, when they dunked the league-leading Le. gion by the score of 9-8. Skinners scored the winning runs in the eighth frame, as both teams scored one apiece ia the ninth, It was in that eighth ing, that re- lief-pitcher Zakarow started to get a big wild, and allowed two walks in a row, and this as it turned out, o be fatal. : P ordra went the route for the win- ners, and gave up 10 hits for the eight runs scored against him. His worst frame was the last of the sev- enth, when he allowed in three runs, these were also due to wildness. Legion connected for one run in the last of the first to give them an ear. ly lead. Skiners came back in the top of the second with a three-run rally on three big errors by the Le- gion. Two of these were good. for two-bases, Legion came within an ace of ty- ing the count in the last of the third when the score was 4-1 for Skinners, as an error to the pitcher, a couple of passed balls, a walk, and then McMillan's single scored two run- ers making it 4-3. : Menaul Toced the ball past third base in the bottom of the sixth to tie the 'score up with a heme run for Legion. The ball travelled on a line and must have sounded like a jet job to the bewildered third- sacker. Errors and a couple of good sound singles pushed Kuch around the paths in the top of the seventh to put Skinners out in front again. However Legion scored those three runs in the last of the inning to lead the game 7-5, Skinners equalled that count in the first of the eighth for a count of 8-7 and with both teams tallying once in the ninth, the final count was 9-8. ; SKINNERS--Lakas, rf; Roznik, 3b; O'Reilly, cf; Richards, ¢; Cair- nes, 1f; Kurelo, lb; Kuch, ss; Lott, 2b; and Zoldra, p.

Last night at Alexandra Park, they swamped Veterans Taxi by the score of 35-0 to make their 13th straight win this season with- out a loss. | Mills sent "Bunny" Maeson to their big hill, and the "pencil sha- dow" marked up 19 strikeouts in claiming the shutout, which along with the five-hitter made for a very neat chore, He sent the enemy down on strikes in order in four innings, so one can see how slow the game must have been. The Mills side of the ledger look- ed very different from Veterans, in fact in comparing the two, the Mills side might be expected to light up, shoot fireworks and top that off with a wild yelping. The Mills squad got 31 hits, which included six homers, six triples, and seven doubles. The outfielders were not gomplaining about their feet in running after the ball so often, they just set up a signal system with a practice diamond across the park and had them return the ball when things got tough. Mr. Maeson wasn't exactly hold- ing himself for pitching alone. He hit homers in the fourth and sixth innings, consecutive at-bats. Not too bad if you know what we mean. George was the big slugger for the Veterans squad; he collected two of their five hits. Two singles. Tch! Tch! Final score again was 35-0.

SLOW ADAPTATION Birds take at least 25 generations to adapt themselves toynew situa- tions, 3 McCallum's Tie Victor's Sports In OMBA Game Victor's: of the O.M.B.A., finally ran into seme opposition last night, | when McCallum"s Legion kept them | | to a 6-6 tie after two extra-innings of play. Victors were without catcher Jim Claus, who has been doigg quite a bit of the hitting for the club, and with MecCallum's out in full strength, it was really a tight battle all the way. Johnny Lawrence on the Victor's mound had as his opponent Mec- Gillis for the first half of the game, and then Ron Fallman took over and kept up the steady work. Both teams got four hits for the number of runs scored and so were even in that department. Both squads committed five errors, and both teams got five men to first base on walks. How even can you get? Legion took the lead in the top of the first on a single run and then made it 2-0 with another in the second frame. Victors rallied in thelast of the third with three runs to go ahead in the tilt 3-2. They added another in the last of the fifth making the count 4-2, one run in the first of the sixth, two-run rally by Victors in the last of the sixth seemed to have won the game for them, but in the top of the seventh, the last inning in these abbreviated contests, Legion rapped home three runs to knot the count and send the game into overtime. Of the two teams in those extra frames, Legion came the closest to winning, as they got men to third base twice only to have sharp in- field work cut off the run. Thus, the game ended 6-6, it being called off on account of darkness at the end of nine frames.

NZARK IKE the | SURPRISES CONTINUE IN INTER. 'AA' RACE STORIE PARKERS WALLOP SMOKEYS IN- EASY FASHION Ini keeping with the other two Juvenile softball league games play- ed last night, another one-sided score was turned in, up at Con- naught Park, where- Storie Park walloped Smokey's Lunch 25-6. Storie Parkers opened with three runs on a sirgtle, an error and doubles by Tonkin and Corse. From therein it was just a case of how many. They. scored another in the 2nd and then staged a 10-run par- ade in the third on a bunch of er- rors, as Smokey's "blew up" in both the infield and outfield while Bar- ker and Swinson hit doubles to help along the rally. Three more runs in each of the next two frames, again with walks and errors proving a big help, saw Storie Park steadily build up a big lead. They were stopped in the 6th and Tth but came back with two in the 8th when Parker hit a homer after Durno had walked and in the 9th, three more runs scored. Smokey's, on the other hand couldn't seem to do very much with Barta's steady pitching and the good support he received. They scored two runs in the first inning when Fry doubled after Ka- tocs walked and Lack singled. Lack walked in the 3rd and eventually scored. In the 5th, he doubled and scored when Fry smacked one out of the park--for a single (he for- got -to touch second-base) and in the 8th, Douglas tripled and scored on an outfield catch. Their final run came in the 9th when Fry walk- ed, moved on a passed ball and scored on a hit by Howes. The entire Storie Park team had a big night at the plate, especially Marshall, Shearer, Swinson, Durno, while Fry and Douglas were the only two good hitters for the losers.

JACKS BAR ARE VICTIMS WHEN COACHERS WIN Collacutt's Coach Lines doubled the score on the Jack's Lunch Bar club at Victory Park "last nig winning by the count of 14-7. Des Seles pitched a seven-hitter for the win, and looked the good pitcher that he is, all through the game. For the losers, Wilson' and Beaton went the route and allowed a total of 12 hits between them for the 14 runs scored by the Busmen. _ Jack's Bar were just about routed in the first inning when Collacutts romped in with six tallies. They did however, reply with four runs in the top of the second to make thirigs interesting. A single run each in the fifth frame made the count 7-5 and the balloon had not as yet gone up. It rose rapidly after that though, when the busmen drove in two runs in the sixth and seventh innings, and with but a two-run reply in the top of the ninth from the Jacks Bar club, the final count remained at 14-7. Booth tripled in Collacutt's cause in the first inning, and it was the only extra-base blow for the teams that night. All the rest of the scor- ing was done on singles, errors, and walks.
