Penn-Smith f Tuesday night the Furniture Co. earned the right to meet the Hockey Club in the three-game final series for the Town League championship and cup. The game. which was originally billed for Friday evening, but post- poned on account of rain, did not get away on time and as a result had to be called on account of darkness at the end of the eighth. And the way the Bachelors were going in the last in- ning it is doubtful if the Factory men could have held them had the full nine innings been played. For the nrst couple of innings the Bachelors were in the lead, but in the third, a couple of fumbles. and sever- al timely hits put the Factory in front 3-1. In the next two innings they in- creased the lead to 5-1, and then the Bachelors spurted and pulled the lead down to 5-3. This seemed to be their final effort, however, because the Furn- iture boys gradually increased their lead until going into the eighth in- ning the score stood at 10-3. In the last of the eighth, the Bachelors, in a do-or-die spirit, and favoured to some extent by the gathering dusk, staged a fighting rally, and before the third man was put out, shoved six runs across the plate, making the final ver- dict 10-9. At this point the “Umps” conferred and deciding that the dark- ness was not conducive to good ball playing called it a game. As mention- ed before, it is somewhat doubtful as to what the final result would have been had the final inning been played. First Final Game Tuesday The first of the final series is set for next Tuesday evening. Owing to the Sports Day this (Thursday) afternoon. it was not considered wise to start the finals tomorrow (Friday) night. Unless otherwise arranged the first two games will be played next Tuesday and Fri- day evenings between the Hockey Club and the Furniture Co. If a third game is necessary the date will be announc- ed after the second game. Furniture Co.

Athletes have been smashing so many record into small bits that the prodlglous feats of officials have been practically neglected. But the 3,000 metre steeplechase finals brought into the Open what appeared to be a stir- ring little contest among the arbiters, an old game known as “errors.” Loco-Metres Scratchâ€"Jacobus van Egmond, Holland. LOW-Metres Time Trialâ€"Edgar L. Gray, Australia (new Olympic record, 1.13). While the athletes gathered at the Olympiad are setting new world rec- ords every day, the officials in chargq of the games are also getting in the spotlight with a record. of their ownâ€" tor blundering.

Strangely enough, greatest honors thus far have been won by a compara- tive newcomer who served anonymous- ly as alternative lap checker. (A lap, if you please, means once around the track) . Although lacking the experience of a lot of other officials, he succeeded in working in an extra lap of about 410 metres into the 3,000-metre steeple- chase event, a feat no other lap check- er has been able to duplicate. ' CYCLING 4.000-Metres Pursuit Raceâ€"Italy. loo-Kilometres Road Raceâ€"Ammo Pazesi, Italy. This caused Volmari Isa-Halo, the sturdy Finn, who won the event, extra lap and all, to lose what possibly was an Olympic record in the distance and is cost Joe McCluskey of Fordham Uni- versity, second place in the race. With a start like that and pr0per training for a few years, the unknown lap checker has a brilliant future as an all-round official. His record has been the very ulti- mate, as officials figure it, but some of the others have turned in extremely creditable performances. Just as an instance, there was the man who placed Ralph Metcalf, the Marquette negro, four feet behind the others in a staggered lane in the 200- metre dash. These were individual efforts, but the officials have showed pretty good team work, too. When Jules Noel of France heaved a mighty heave in the discus all the officials who had been getting in his way in his preliminary throws were looking at the pole vaulting. He had to make the throw over again, and he was pretty mad about it, too. Metcalfe, starting even, might have finished either first or second in the event. As ”rt was, he came in third. Just as the steeplechase bobbling was the best of the bunch, the official ex- planation of it merits note. The offi- cials said the reason an alternative was checking laps because the regu- lar checkerâ€"and the Olympic games are held only every four yearsâ€"had the day of! ! ” Take no chances when swimming. Take no chances by being careless when on or in the water. The other day one of the greatest swimmers on this continent, Johnny Weissmuller, said: “I am a champion swimmer, yet I would no more swim a half mile from shore alone without a boat in attend- ance than I would put a loaded gun to my head and pull the trigger. It is as dangerous as that. Don’t show off, and just keep cramps in the back of your mind when you are tempted to swim out of sight or aid of others.” Are ordinary folk as careful as Weiss)- muller? His adviceâ€"the advice of a championâ€"should be taken to heart.â€" Exchange. (Our Own Correspondent) Miss Dorothy Ritchie visited over the week-end with Mr. and Mrs. Jas. Peart, Traverston. Mr. H.
