Is Keen

On Sanglot Ball

(By Elmer Dulmage Canadian ‘ Press Staff Writer) TORONTO, May 22-Generally

speaking, the efficiency of amateur‘

baseball players in Ontario is not to be compared with that of the athletes who play hockey outside of the professional leagues. After all‘ hockey is the national sport and the standard, however high or low among amateurs, is set by Canadians,

The.strangest part of it all is that Ontario has almost as many baseball players as it has hockey players. The diamond is every bit as popular as the ice. It some cit- ics-perhaps not very many-a baseball playoff game ‘attracts more paying fans through the turnstiles than a championship hockey game.

It can only be explained by say-

Most Ontario cities and towns [are “hot" hockey spots in the win- . ter. The national sport is still the game. Yet a ball game will attract quite as larg ea crowd. In Guelph. a traditional ball town, hockey hardly holds up its head. It has to be a pretty exciting occasion be- fore Guelph fans will crowd a- round the ice.

The ball stars-and they'll never reach any heights worth mention- ing-are as widely known in On- tario as the slmon-pure hockey headliners. who some day may be in the National League. It is questionable whether any amateur hockcyist has spread his fame cs far as Hector (Lefty) Goldsmith,

WILMINGTON, DeL, Mull 22- Walter Martin of Renae. and Tor- onto. anq Marcel Rainvills of Montreal, were chosen tonight to

tennis singles aBB-inst the United Bil-Iva in the opening American zone matches on l. ay.

They were named by Captain Gilbert Nunns after a conference with Philip n. Lyons, President of the Canadian Lawn Tennis Asso- elation.

There was no announcement oi the United States singles nomin- ations, but it was °onsidered virtu- ally certain Martin and Rainville would be opposed by prank Shields and Lester Stoeffen.

This would leave George Lott and John Van Ryn paired against Cap- tain Nunns of Toronto, and Laird Watt of Montreal, in the doubles on Friday. The round will be con- cluded with two more singles matches Saturday.

(C. P.-A. P. Cable By Guardian's Special Win)

PRESTWICK, Scotland. May 22- The luck of the draw brinns about s. great Anglo-American battle in the third round of the British amateur golf championship tomor- row. Jack McLean, the smiling Scot, Britain's main 1w!» a! W1"!- ing off the strong united States challenge, clashes with Johnny Fischer. the quiet oolleaim from Cincinnati.

While McLean was eliminating Hugh Gow today by a 8 and I count, Fischer got into the third round attire expense of his coun- tryman Gus Morcland of Texas by the game margin.

McLean was s. little erratic with his putting but his iron play was superb and tonight he was quietly confident about the outcome of the lmliending battle with Fischer.

Fischer flashed a brilliant game to turn back Moreland. squaring the match at the eighth and never giving him a chance to recover. Fischer's feat in shooting the last five holes in three under pfll‘— three fours and two threes-stamp- ed him a dangerous ‘

The remainder of the first round was cleaned up today, conditions being not so blustery as yesterday. and 35 of the 64 second-round bat- tles wero decided. A feature of the late first-round matches was the elimination of J. A. Stout of Brid- lington by H. N. M. Fogg of Liver- pool, who won 3 up. Stout. a for- mer English champion, gave an exhibition of mighty hitting and was one up at the tum but on the way home persisted in hooking his drives.

Johnny Goodman, the American

o open titleholder, was another late

starter. He had no trouble entering the second round at the expense of’ W. M. Robb of Moseley. Good- man was outdrlvcn most, of the way and was shaky on the greens but his approaching wagdeft. l-Is made the tiun three up and wonii and 4

Cyril Tolley, Roger Wethred. Stanley Lunt, the British domestic champion, Johnny De Forest, na- tive champion of 1932, and James Wallace, the Scot who eliminated Chandler Egan of the U. S. Walker cuppers yesterday, were British stalwarts advancing to the third round along with McLean.

Dunlap, Jr., the Ameri- can amateur klng, Jesse Guilford of Boston. and Jack Westland of Chicago. Noel Layton of Surrey however eliminated P. A. Valentine.

Although the season sprang the barrier a few weeks ago. uncertain weather conditions pre- vented many from participating in this favorite pastime; but tomor- row the city will experience a gen- eral exodus of sportsmen who will hit tho trail for the old haunts where the "big ones" are alleged to rosin. _

Anglers young and old, some with improvised line and tackle, others with rod and reel, will greet May 24th in its infancy and many and varieu will be the reports circulat- ing on the suocess-or near success of the adventurers. Catches to date have served to stimulate the inter- est in the fishing gams and it is expected conveyances of all de- scriptions will be called into use to carry the sportsmen, providing "Old Sol" does his stuff, to their destin- atlon.

NEW YORK. May 22. — Brooklyn Dodgers at home today tumbled Chi- cago Cubs right out of the National league lead when they lasted to gain a 5-4 decision in 12 innings of the final contest and win their series. two games to one. The defeat put the Cubs, for the second time since they came East, in the odd position of trailing Pitts- burgh Pirates by a few points in the percentages although a count o! games won and lost would give them a half-game lead.

Y. M. C.

A most successful year's work was reported at the annual meeting of the Young Men's Christian Associ- ation last evening. After a sumptu- ous meal had been enjoyed, reports of the various committees were re- ceived. The president. Dr. J. A. Clark, was in the chair.

The meeting opened with prayer by Rev. Dr. E. H. Ramsay. Two much appreciated solos were ren- dered by Mlss Marion Whitehead and Miss Alice Coffin, accompanied by Miss Thelma Bums. The minutes of the last annual meeting were read by the secretary. Mr. J. L. Douglas, and were approved.

The president, Dr. Clark. pre- sented his report on the year's work.

As a result of balloting on the report of the nominating commit- tee the following directors were ei- ected: Messrs. W. R. LePage. Wm. Rowe, Claude Smith, Dr. R. D. Mc- Laughlin. J. E. Harris, F. M. Stew- art, Roy Cudmore.

Rev. Dr. E. H. Ranlsay in ad- dressing the meeting remarked on the fine report presented by the president. For the new year the Association would be making new plans. He knew the difficulties which the Y. M. C. A. had to face. Under the existing conditions the work of the local Y. M. C. A. could not be duplicated anywhere. The Y. M. C. A. must have a physical foundation, but. the Association took into account the whole man, mind. spirit and body. By way of advice he urged the members to keep up their spirit and their ideals. It was not failure, but low ‘aim that was crilne. The Y. M. C. A. was a clear- ing house in the community. and served as a great uniting agency.‘ The organization had a common community task with the churches. in training the young people of the community. One element had been neglected. that of adult education. Some institution was necessary for the control of the sport of the com- munity. The speaker did not be- lieve in commerci llzation of re- creation. Dr. Ramsay stressed the importance or adult education. and referred to the work of Prof. L. W. Show in this connection.
