Lefty Gene Davis pitched the Senators to their easy triumph, yielding 10 hits but fanning seven. Mamie, Ottawa second baseman, and Saner, Amsterdam fielder, shared batting honors with four hits apiece. Mamie had two -doubles and Sarver one. Take Early Lead.

Senators, who poled out 14 kits, scored twice in the first inning and repeated in the second. They got their other runs one at a time in the last three innings. Rugmakers scored in the fifth, sixth and eighth innings. The victory, combined with I'tica't 3 to loss to Auburn, pat Senators back in the league lead they lost over the week-end. The Morgan crew now moves against Oswego whom they trimmed twice last week.

Today's display started Davis where he left off last year.

Acquisition of Whaley gives Oneonta, the town to which the Cornwall franchise was transferred, a smooth fielder. Last Summer he led the league as a fielding second baseman until the last game when three errors saw him drop to third place. Whaley, a popular performer here, was the leading base stealer of the circuit in 1939. His 64 stolen bases constituted a new record for Can-Am baseball. Mamie, Whaley's replacement, has been getting hits when they counted in Senators' drive.

The Etealm of Sport By WALTER GILHOOLY TT TAKES CONSIDERABLE to bring the blush of embarrassment to the cheeks of James Patrick McCaffrey, but the deep red that flooded his cheeks during the annual meeting of the Quebec Senior League at Montreal on Friday is only now fading. What caused Mr. McCaffrey to blush so profusely, and painfully, was the presentation of a cup to him to hold on behalf of his Senator hockey club. Had the cup come to his club for winning the league title it could be imagined that a slight blush might have enkindled his cheeks, since it doubtless would have been accompanied by words of praise of his players, and himself as manager, purchasing agent; and diplomatic relations chief.

Such was not the case. The Senators finished fifth in the six-team league. They didn't even make the playoffs, so there was nothing in their expioits on the ice to merit them receding a cup or to cause anyone to go out and buy them one. Unless, of course, the Cornwall club, which was the fourth team to reach the playoffs, might have purchased them a mug in gratitude for having been so accommodating as to step out of the way, giving it the opportunity of going into the post-season series. SENATORS SET NEW STYLE OF PLAY.

THE CUP WAS WON by the Senators because they were the clean-est team in the league. Not in the sense that they shot pucks more cleanly than their opponents, or that they took the discs away from them in the Spenserian sense "through fine handling and cleanly Skill and adroitness naa notmng to ao wiui u. mey rnum io dish out the dirt, they insisted on playing like models of deportment, i i QiirT-HH thin trftrthv. It was. it is believed, the first time that an Ottawa team in any line of athletic endeavor has ever won sucn a cup, ana an.

mwnuic; that it is the last time that any team he's connected with so distinguishes itself.

But he does believe In a certain carefree, rude and boisterous style of play and is firmly convinced that the hockey or football team that doesn't possess it is going nowhere with giant strides.

He wants no part of the av.a v. 1 1 Fauntleroys oi sporx ana its imiu wonaer um uiun his carcass when convicted of managing a group of them and receiving a cup for having done so. BREAKING WITH ANCIENT TRADITION.

THERE ARE EXCUSES to be offered for the Senator hockey club. The majority of the team hail from points east, west north and south of this centre and probably never heard the cry, "Dirty Ottawa!" They might not have been aware that it's a description held dear by football and hockey teams of this city. Those who first earned it by dint of lusty blows struck in battles for championships on the ice and field were the creators of a noble tradition. That shout has warmed the cockles of the hearts of Ottawa athletes on many a foreign gridiron and in many a foreign rink, and if the athletes who originally evoked it knew that any Ottawa team could ever stray so far from play procedure, as they laid it down, as to win a cup for clean play they'd spring en masse and full armed from their graves. Regrettably, the tradition is weakening as witness this award and other evidence.

Only occasionally, as one travels here and there with our football and hockey teams and as they wheel out and go into battle action, does he hear the tribute flung forth by enemy adherents. Why. there was one afternoon in Montreal a few years ago when the reception to the Rough Riders was so calm that an Ottawa cheerleader stepped down in front of his own section and raised for them and with them the old war shout. If the Montreal supporters weren't going to extend the customary courtesy of hurling "Dirty Ottawa! at our boys, their admirers were not going to permit them to be deprived of what by long and encrusted practice was their due.

(CP) Racing fever gained momentum today as balmy breezes turned thoughts of turf followers to the King's Plate, turf classic which officially opens the Canadian racing season Saturday. Workouts, favorites, conditions, probable odds and all the whys and wherefores connected with the mile and a furlong race at Woodbine Park cropped into general conversation. To the fore were the names of Dark Comet, Hood, Katie Bud and Frobisher. They did not maintain all the support in a field that Ucks a clear-cut favorite. H.

Neither was brilliant during the 1939 juvenile campaign. They wintered well, however, and have grown into sturdy three-year-olds. Curwen has not been tested over the full route, but in a half-mile breeze he was caught in 48 seconds. Silvos has been given a preliminary trial over the distance and turned in a credible 1.58 2-3. Bobby Watson, leading Canadian rider last year, will pilot Curwen in the big race.
