Ex-Mayor C. H. Orme threw the first ball of the season. Introducing a new arrav of senior talent, the game was a good one and was thoroughly en-, Joyed by a large crowd of fans; Behind the Bat Outstanding plays of last night's game Included Ham Antonelll's pretty one-handed catch In right field of Freddie Calderone's fly in the first inning. Ham was in the limelight throughout the evening. Snappy handling of Antonelll's roller In the second by Lambie, third, to Domlnato, first. A newcomer in the Senior League, Domlnato looks good. Dido Qurvich did good work behind the bat for the Sons. He was on the job all the time and got in a little clowning, too. That boy Letourneau, the Sons' moundsman, looks like a comer. A new pitching discovery, maybe. He should give the opposing batters something to think about this year. "Scoop" Bury compensated at the bat for some, rather loose work behind the plate at times. The Sons showedthelr respect by de liberately walking him In the .seventh. But it was a rather questionable piece of strategy at that. They say this boy Louis Rogers used to play In the Vancouver City League. Maybe he will show up better later on. He didn't do much last night. Ifijhis "'is the brand'bf , baseball we, are to see this season, Ihe -As sociation should not have to worry ,abdut gate receipts. The broadcast of the game was an interesting innovation and was appreciated by the fans who were unable to get up the hill. Stan Morin gave a good running account of the play. However, there's nothing like being there In person at that. SQMY SOSTU AFRICA World-lmo. ptodweto el the Co-optMtiyc Win9rowtn' Aiioclttion, Urjcit pcoducwi of wirKi in Soirtli Afritt.

The Legion got away to a fasti start when "Scoop" Bury, their j lead-off man. made the first hit of j the season, lining out a lusty triple! to the centre garden on the se-i cond pitched ball and then camej home on a bad throw by Gurvlch In the last of the first Inning. It was in this Inning that Calderone of the Sons pulled off a nice one-handed stop of Simonson's Infield drive. In the second inning the Sons evened the count when Lambie scored on Gurvich's single. i In the fifth Don Arney, Legion moundsman, got wild and the Sons went on a hitting splurge to make three runs. The big hit was Herbie Morgan's triple to right field. In the last of the seventh the Legion came back strong, loading the bases, sending in Ray Commons to pinch hit and making two runs. They could not bring in the tying first league game and was a treat to watch. The youngster must have! plenty on the ball for twelve bat ters went down swinging and he only walked two men. "Dizzy" Arney whiffed seven men and walked five.
