Tor- rence's "Monsoon" won the Queen City Club race to Oshawa. With a brisk and steady west wind prevailing, the Toronto boats made excellent time for the first portion of their journey but the American boats, mostly competing in the power and motor launch groups, made fast time c sidering the water was fairly smooth, which also helped atly.

The father-and-son combination led the field of 149 contestants in the thrilling marksmanship finale that ended the six-day Dominion of Canada Rifle Association meet An unusual occurrence of the meet was the lifetime disqualifica- tion Friday of one of Canada's crack shots, Maj. Fred J. Goodhouse of Ottawa, He would have been the 150th contestant in the "Gov- ernor's" match. For Lieut. Boa, who has been shooting in D.C.R.A. meets since 1908, it was his first time as win- ner of the Gold Medal. Firing over the long, windswept 900-yard range, he put on a daz- zling display of marksmanship, carding 14 bull's-eyes with 15 shots to overtake his son's three-point lead from previous 300 and 600-yard range shoots. Lieut. Boa shot 46, 49, 74 for a score of 169 of a possible 175.

Both races had an international flavor with skippers from Olcott and Youngstown getting into the competition, However, the boys found the boats a little strange and consequently didn't do so well.

The first-place Indians are 1% games ahead of Philadelphia athle- tics, 2% in front of Boston Red Sox and five ahead of New York Yan- kees. : Further cause for jubilation among the Indians is the fine pit- ching form displayed by the two Bobs, Feller and Lemon, who hurl- ed the Indians to a 6-2 and 8-0 sweep of their doubleheader with the White Sox in Chicago Sunday. The happiest note for the Indians in Sunday's triumphs was feller's fine showing in the first game in which the former fireball specialist spaced 11 hits for his 12th victory. It marked the first time he has pitched a complete game since he was beaten by the Browns 3-2 July 11. Manager Boureau played a big part in both victories. He collected seven hits in 10 times at Bat, scored three times and drove in three runs. The athletics rebounded from their two crushing defeats at the hands of the Yankees by whipping the world champions in both ends of their doubleheader at the sta- dium 5-3 and 5-3. The first game went 10 innings. The twin triumph enabled the athletics to take over second place from the Red Sox who were held to a split by the Senators in Washington. After Washington won the opener 5-4, the Sox came back to win the nightcap 8-7. In the remaining American lea- gue game, Detroit Tigers came up with two runs in the top of the ninth inning to break a 1-1 tie and defeat St. Louis Browns 3-1. Brooklyn climbed back within three games of the national league- leading Boston Braves by defeating the Braves 4-2. The third-place St. Louis Cardinals picked up a half-game on the leaders, dividing a doubleheader with the Pirates in Pittsburgh. They now trail Boston by 3% games.

The Cubs won the opener 7-6 and the Reds 'copped the afterpiece 5-0. Phil Marchildon of Penetangui- shene, Ont., started for the athle- tics in the opener which drew the largest Yankee stadium crowd of the year, 72468. He had a 2-0 shutout going into the ninth inning and appeared on his way to his ninth victory of the year when he threw a home run ball to Joe Di- maggio of the Yankees with one man on. It was the Yankee Clip- per's 26th of the year and knotted the count. Carl Scheib relieved Marchildon and the Athletics came roaring back with three runs off Ed Lopat in the 10th inning to put Philadel phia in front. Dimaggio tripled in another Yankee run in the last of the 10th, but Lou Brissie replaced winning pitcher Scheib and retired Larry Berra for the third out. Mike Guera's bases-loaded triple was the big blow for the A's in the nightcap. Bill McCahan won his third game, but yielded home runs to Berra and Tommy Henrich to give the Yankees a total of 101 for the reason. It marked the 25th year that the Yankees have reach- ed 100 or more runs, a major lea- gue record. SPORT SNAPSHOTS (Continued from Page 10) 11 years ago today.

It was his 13th win against four setbacks. Three of the walks he issued came in the fourth inning with only one out. But Newcombe fanned pinch- hitter Oscar Judd of Ingersoll, Ont., and Vic Barnhart to get out of the jam. Judd tossed the season's first no- hit no-run game when he blanked Syracuse Chiefs, 7-0 June 14. This also was a seven-inning game. The Leafs won the opener from the front-running Royals, 14-8 to end a 16-game Montreal winning streak. Hank Biasatti blasted a two- run homer and Johnny .
