THE STRATFORD MIRROR | In The Realm of Sport This Ingersoll team should be known as the "Winless Wonders." Eleven losses in a row, without so much as , a semblance of a win to break the monotony of the long column of goose eggs, should constitute a record cf some kind. Most. of the fans around the league will be ready to predict that Cream Cheesers' losing streak will be limited only to the number of games which they play. While the In- gersoll lads are a mighty fine bunch of boys, they are not much of a draw- ing card and their presence in the loop is not altogether a fair break for the other teams. However, it must be remembered that it has not always been thus. It's~not so Many seasons ago that the name of Ingersoll was one to be feared on any man's ball dia- mond in any part of the province. The race in the Community Softball League appears to be a duet, with Tog- gery and Kroehlers holding the spot- light and Larks tagging along in a position where they might make a spurt and sneak through on the rail. St. Paul's are not getting anywhere in particular, but nothing sensational was expected of them this year. The Brothers entry is the real disappoint- ment, as the wise ones had them sized up as the team to beat. Tog- gery are on top of the heap right now, as a result of beating Larks on Tues- day night. Kroehlers should be back in a tie with them after tonight when they play St. Pauls. That is, unless--. To.hear some of the howling which comes from the direction of the Col- legiate flats on Tuesday and Thursday nights, one would almost conclude that the Cubs and the White Sox were bat- tling it out for the championship of the Windy City, while their gangster pals did the rooting. But it's just the Uptown League carrying on in ap- proved style. The boys take softball seriously in that loop, the scores do generally mount into double figures. Just now, Beacon- Herald have a scant lead, with Cloth- iers chasing them closely, Markies in third place, resting easily, and Post Office in fourth place, with the Bank- ers right at their heels. Of late, the Civil service men have been taking it on the chin regularly. even if Most fans in this city will agree with him when he Says that now is the time for the towns and cities out- Side Toronto to prepare for a show- down if they want one. If there are 80ing to be fireworks at the next an- nual meeting of the O.H.A., now is the time to get the fuses set. If the Hozg- town tactics are to be assailed, Should be done in some sort of or- ganized manner, and the only way to do it is to get the organization going _now. Then, when the annual meet- ing comes along, the outside bloc will know what it wants said and done, and who is going to Say and do it. Otherwise the meeting will probably Slide along in the Same old rut, and next Winter, when the teams in the Sticks begin to get a few bumps, they will set up their wails too late to be of any avail. The time to holler is ait the meeting--not about the middle of January: -- Every few years, the O. H. A. smart- ing under the criticism which is di- rected its way, puts on the clamps. The last big year~for clamp-putting Was the year the old Canadian Profes- sional League, now the International League, come into being. It was as a result of the refusal of transfers to players that the cities concerned de- |} eB ahs cided to go pro. Stratford Was one of the cities that year. This year, after a number of years during which clubs were allowed to change players with the abandon of professional clubs, te O. H. A. is put- ting on the «lamps again. Unfortun- ately Stratford is one of the cities to suffer again. i is @ CANADIAN DEPARTMENT STORES inane Stratford.

CLOTHES ARE BURIED WHILE LADIES BATHE LONDON, Ont., July 7 (CP)-- Four London women narrowly es- caped burial under tons of sand at Port Stanley yesterday and then had the embarrasing experience of travelling 30 miles in their wet bathing suits. Mrs. Harry Pope and her three companions were visiting their sons at a Boy Scout camp and while waiting for the boys to complete exercises went for a swim down the beach. They changed their clothes under an overhanging cliff. When they returned from the plunge they found the cliff had crashed. Their clothes, purses, jewelry were buried beyond ,recov- ery.
