Although deprived of the privi- lege of scoring the clinching point, Budge remained the heroic figure in America's successful drive. It was the singles victory the Oak- laud, Calif. red-head scored over Hare on Saturday and the doubles ‘ triumph he and Gene Mako earn- ed against G. R. D. Tuckey and F‘. H. D. Wilde yesterday‘. that left Parker in a position where he . could win the cup. When Budge appeared for his meaningless match with Austin the crowd applauded long and called his name. Actually it wasn't a match at all. Both men experimented with ihcir shots. They exchanged rac- qiict-s for one game. Budge taking Bunny's unorthodox strewn-lined creation and breaking the little fellows service with it. They laughed and joked with one another. In the middle of the fourth set. for no reason at all. they stopped playing and or- dered tea. And the crowd loved ft.

S u p e r i 0 r s Pound Out l4-6Vict0ry Featured by the smart relief pitching of Willie Warren after Walter Goes was forced from the mound 1n the seventh with an in- jured leg. Superlors last night kept alive their hopes for a playoff berth fn the City Softball League by outhittfng and oiitscoring the E-qulres 14 to 6. Racing into an 11-0 lead mainly on the strength of Esquire errors in the early innings, superiors were always in front at every stage of the game. The lozei-s were held to two hits and no runs for five innings by Walter Goss; they scored five runs in the sixth on 65 ma"? hits but Warren coming in in the seventh, after seeing the first ball pitched knocked for a double, the runner scoring as the left fielder let the ball get away from him, checked the Esqtifres thor. oughly for the remainder or the 881116. holding them hftless and runless.’ Earl Goss, hurling for the Es- qulres was again the victim of bad support by his mates. Although hit freely at times only half the Sup- eriors runs were of ‘the eamed variety but that in itself was en- ough to win as the winners played heads up ball in every frame. Ranger Off T0 Mattap i1 Search Of l3th Vii Endeavour ll Rests In Dr) IN THIS lCORNER Just how much George Leslie has improved will be amply den-i- oiistrated on the night of August 5th when he meets his former conqueror Bill Maitch of Toronto. Maitch is the boy who knocked Leslie out in two rounds at Tor- onto durfng the staging of the White Hope tournament earlylast year. Although there will be no importance attached to the scrap as far as titles go. nevertheless plenty of interest is being eviden- ced fn it which is usually the case whenever the big Sourfs battle!- cuters the ring. Maitch, an experienced fighter and rfngwise in every sense of the word, should give the Islandcham- plon by far his stfffest test. A1- though Leslie has an imposing string of victories to his credit nevertheless, not attempting to take anything away from him. the big majority of his opponentshave hiid little experience inside the squared circle. As a result ft has been a diffi- cult matter for anyone to judge just how far he could go outside Island circles. some fans are of the opinion that he would aur- prise his critics; Maftch seems to be the right answer to that. If- Leslie can beat him as he firmly believes he will. then he will go a long way fn showing his "knock- ers" that he is far ‘from the setup they have been judging him l1’ he ivris stacked against an experien- ccd fighter.

Two of the best Wills today ivere accomplished by Halifax players- youthful Don Bauld and Mrs. Har- old F. Jones. Bauld, who reached tlic tourna- merit too late yesterday to start in the men's singles, got into actou with Doug Grant of Mndoc. 0111., as his partner. It was the same Grant who three times has won‘. the Canadian Badminton cham- pionship. He is a Halifax boy. Bauld and Grant eliminated two Toronto stars, Bruce Hail and Gor- don Shields, in a hut-d three-set battle, 4-8, 11-2, 6-3. After a wobbly start, the Nova Scotituis had com- plete command. Mrs. Jones reached the third round of women's singles with an upset victory over Mrs. Helen Dy- son of New York, 11-3, 6-3. The New York player, sem Jinallst Ill mixed, doubles at Wimbledon 1n 1936. was; expected to make a real bid for the title. Om of the Wfghtman Cup pliiy- ers. Miss Evelyn Dear-man, showed too much power for Mrs. F. V. Woodbury of Halifax and won al- most as she pleased 6-0, 6-2. Diminutfve Marcel Ralnvllle, who predicted several weeks ago amid a cold silence that he trould regain the title. went down and out to Bill Reese of Atlanta. Ga. As a matter of fact, Reese march- ed into his bracket snmewhnt litte because 1t took him just four hours to accomplish the doivnfull of stub- born Marcel in three mtii-ptliou sets.

Not any one of the teams mentloned are sure of their position; either of them ran be eliminated and the balance of the games could easily be term- ed as playoff affairs. superiors are 1n the toughest position of the trio but they are a team that can never be counted out. For below their form for several games after leading the league at the start of the season Superior-s are again hitting the stride that stamped them as the surprise of the league. ‘Their vic- tory over the Esqulres last night showed them at their best and al- though they are really on the brink of elimination they might still prove plenty tough to dislodge from the coming playoffs. But whatever the outcome of the league you have to hand it to the officers arid officials for pro- viding the best softball leagiie ever experienced in local circles. Play- ers were made to lfve up to the league rules. 'I‘liere_was no use- less arguing either on the field (the umpires looked after that) or off the field and as a result every- thing ran smoothly while provid- ing the fans with the closest of competition.
