Mc a ki THE OSHAWA Day TIMES, MONDAY; AUGUST 13, 1927 WANIS B YI5 5.1 SCORE Saints' Invincible Hurler 15 of 30 Batsmen Who F ¥ Faced Him Daring the Game Peterboro Up Against an Un- Combination of | Slugging two pitchers unmercifully and playing air tight ball behind the invincible hurling of Jack "Dizzy" Og- den, St. Andrew's Juniors took their first step towards the finals for the O.B.AA, Junior Baseball champion- ship when they defeated Peterboro Kiwanis in Peterboro on Saturday by a 15 to 1 score. Superior play at all times both on the field and at bat gave them their unquestioned victory, It was the first of the home and home game series, the return fixture being scheduled for Alexandra Park tomor- row evening when a far better game should result, Something of a record for any pit- cher to hope for was the game which was turned in by Ogden from the mound for the Saints, In the nine inn- ings that Peterboro faced him, a total of only thirty batters came to the plate, fifteen of them going back to the bench via the strike out route, | four getting on bases through hits and one from an error, and twelve of them being put out by the outfield or in- field. Fifteen hits were collected by St, Andrew's when their batters, in all, _ faced the Peterboro moundsmen fifty times, or an average of a little more than five times apiece, Fine Team Work Every man on the St, Andrew's team turned in a credible game in one way or another, and as a whole they worked together like a real champion- ship aggregation, To make only twelve put outs between them on the field after discounting the fifteen strike outs made by Ogden, left them with very little material with which to prove their wares but some catches and pick ups of merit were made never- theless, Little at shortstop drew down the most attention when he pulled in a pair of line drives that looked like sure hits, while Young and Ogden also drew praise in handling ground hit balls, The only put out in the outfield was made by Baird when he snagged a foul fly in left garden. LeBar, the first baseman, Hollings- worth in right field, Hall at second base and Graham at shortstop were the greatest attractions for Peterboro with either some good hitting or smart fielding to make them outstanding, Their only run was counted by Gra- ham when Re singled into right field, stole second and was scored by an- other hit into the outfield by Hall This happened in the second after St. Andrew's had reaped their seven runs on one of their strongest batting con- ventions of the season, to indicate a good game in the offing but the second stanza destroyed or artially eliminated this theory. In St. Andrew's half of the opener, Car- ver flied to second and Baird and did the Saints one better by going out one-two-three on strike outs, Seven runs in the second put the argument on ice as far as the Motor City men were concerned and made the game am easy matter for them from this point on. Young started the procession of eleven batters to the plate when he hit a tricky grounder down |Cleveland. .- to Sturgeon at third who let it bounce out of his glove to let the first man to bat get on safely. A flight of wild- ness on Guiry's part followed this and three batters in succession were walke before he was able to find the plate again. The last walk forced in Young with the first run. Gummow brought in the second and Hubbel the third when Luke and Ogden both hit in front of the plate where a lack of haste in the first case and an error in the second permitted both the men at third, and the batters to go safe. A double from Carver followed which scored Little and Luke while Baird counted Ogden with a single through first and second. A play on Rowden and Baird killed any further chances of counting alt Young delivered a double before the third out was hy The third was uneventful but in the fourth the Saints sent their score sky- E i: | gE sacrifices and Rowden, and a stolen base. Andrew's retired in Spxestion in eight t although y are mot - erstitious, when they entered the ninth with a 13 to 1 score in their favor they decided that they were mot yet through with the offerings of Stur- geon. Two runs resulted from decision with Carver and Rowden do- ing the scoring and Ogden and Young providing the means. The game was a successful one from an Oshawa standpoint at least, an the occasi brilliant pieces of field- ing and some mice batting made up to some extent for the one sided aspect of the play.

The Juvenile game here was the better of the two although it was expect- 'ed that St. Andrew's visit to the Kiwanis in the Lift Lock City would result in the ost interesting affair for some time, LJ W'S JUNIORS DEFEAT PETERBORO The Juvenile game at Alexandra Park between Peterboro Royals and South Oshawa was one of the most exciting games of the season and yet it wasn't attended by 100 people. The G.M.C. picnic at Lakeview Park was the reason but the Juveniles may rest assured that on their next appelvance they will get a good deal better encouragement than they did on There will probably be a few supporters follow moral assistance to make up * The largest softball turnout of the season should be on hand tonight at Alexandra Park to see Trimmers and Chev- rolet meet in the third game of the series for the Industrial League championship, The score of 9 to 8 and 2 to 2 in the first two games should prove to be sufficient invitations for The game will be a good one and there is no doubting that, the only uncertainty about it being as to whether it will be a slugging battle with a high score or a ith a low score, » St, Andrew's unexpectedly one sided victory over the surprise to everyone, but the reason is easily found in the fact that the Peter didn't have their phenomenon, Jeff Hardill, difficulty which he is having at present with the 0,B.A A, It is whispered that he has signed a Senior certificate for the Peterboro Lake Shore League team while his certificate with pitching for them owing to a ned by the club secretary, not, we cannot say, and the only way by which we will be assured is hy Hardill's presence Alexandra Park on Tuesday Executives-Sup Considerable uncertainty still sur- rounds the outcome of Saturday's soft- ball match between the General Mo- tors executive and the amalgamated superintendents and foremen and the worst of it is that Umpire Fred Hatch started all the trquble. Shading his eyes from the sun, Umpire Hatch in stentorian tones announced that owing to the darkness the game would be called on account of rain. This state- ment had the immediate effect of stop- ping the game and of having Umpire Hatch surrounded by an arguing group of superintendents and foremen who sought to establish that they were shy one inning's play and that they were sure to emerge victorious. Meanwhile the executive forces led by Lt.-Col. R. S. McLaughlin with the. redoubtable General Manager as aide-de-camp de- parted from the scene. It was later rumoured that they were leading by | several runs when the game was halted so presumptorily. The foremen and superintendents propose lodging a pro- test with the Privy Council but in all probability it will be thrown out, Probably it is just as well that the game ended when jt did. Considers able rivalry existed between the two teams which battled last year to a 67-67 tie and Saturday's tussle was to decide the problem, had it not ended so abh- ruptly. Fro mthe outset there was no doubt about how competition would be. The executive were out for business and there was no better proof of this than that offered by Mr. Lefebvre. He took his place behind the bat armed to the teeth. A heavy mattress served as a chest protector and a handy fish net no the end of a pole enabled him to spear the offerings of pitcher Sam McLaughlin who at first threw them high, wide and handsome. The fact that the superintendents appeared on the scene with bats which would have made elephant guns appear insignifi- cant as pop guns as a mode of attack did not deter the executive. After considerable jangling as whicld side would take the outs the executive took the ins. R. S. Me- Laughlin went first to bat. He wielded amran stick and connected for a terri- drive. He was almost tagged out while attempting to steal a base and for this breach of form came mighty close to getting thrown out of the game by his captain. Gordon Lefebvre the next batsman tipped a foul and had to return to the bench. Bill Coad swatted the sphere and got on bases but H. H. Henschell spoiled it all by flying out. There was no score. Of course the opposition when they came to bat tried to score, but Mr. Lefebvre's fish net had them buffaloed and they failed. As catcher the gen- eral manager made several nice stops including one which he stopped with his chin while attempting to coerce the umpire into reversing a decesion. Roy Mcintosh got a safe hit off the Me- Laughlin delivery but Bob Hyndman couldn't get the ball past Bill Coad who gathered in all hits to first base. Jack Beaton lost the bill in the crowd at the first of the second innings and fost an argument with the unpersuad- able Mr. Hatch who refused to let him score on the play. The matter, could have been fixed up all right but Mr. Beaton only had one cigar with him and he was smoking that. Geo. to markable style but was forced to re- turn and bat again when the ump cail- ed his hit a foul. Several of the exe- cutive criticized the decision warmly and the umpire retaliate by waving Mr. Aansley to the bench, making the first out. Geo. Hezzlewood got a fucky hit when Harry Gray after stop- ping the ball forgot what the mext Ove Was. Roy Mclntosh's advice that he throw it to first base came too late to be of any use. A. J. Gardner batted in two nuns and counted when R. S. Mclaughlin hit safely. Later C. E. McTavish came to bat with a weapon that was not unlike the Tom- tom sticks used by the Zulu chiefs fin mative warfare. While the foremen were having their anpings, Harry Lecky got thrown out ers Game Called Through Darkness feft field. His captain's decision was warmly applauded by the opposing players. He was replaced by Geo, Da- vies. Jack Beaton also was chased from the game for a honer which he pulled at third base. Captain McTavish sure insisted on keeping the boys on their toes. Bert Birchard was called in to fill the breach. Ike Bulmer with a small edition of a telephone pole sock- ed out a likely looking hit. In the next innings H. H. Menschell batted with a porous stick. When the ball came he missed the hole in the bat and banged out a fly. But he was un- able to miss the hole between Jack Hunter's outstretched hands and as a result was caught out. Geo. Davies hit the ball hard and Geo. Smith went through the motions of catching it but when his act was complete the ball was somewhere else. Gardner at the bat fouled out and received the humble apology of the umpire who ' assured him that had he known he was going to do that would not have called the last one a strike. "Ball one strike" Umpire Hatch roared as the pitcher threw one a mile wide to Mr. Lefe- bvre. Later he explained that he ad- ded strike when he saw who was bat- ting.

After scoring thirteen rums in the first inning, the Trim ladies rested on their oars and matched courtesies with the Office girls until the last when they went on another batting spree which netted them twelve runs to carry th, score up to the 34 mark. The office girls scored almost as often as did the Trimmers but their runs came in smaller parcels, Four in the first and six in the last were their biggest innings, but they eculdn't compare with the total of 26 which were brought in by the Trimmers in these two stanzas, They counted three in th, second, one in the fourth and two in the seventh besides those already mentioned.

Fine i KING SREET EAST Scotch By The Sons of Scotland turned the tables on the Men of England in the much looked forward to soccer match between the representatives of these two countries in the "International" game which was played at the Gen- eral Motors' picnic at Lakeview Park Saturday afternoon and which was won by a 7 to 2 score in favor of the Scots. The last time these two teams met, England won by a comfortable margin so that Scotland's victory was all the more sweet. The teams marched on the field led by the local pipe band and almost im- mediately on their arrival, the coin was flipped and with England winning the turn, the game was under way with Scotland kicking off. The Scots followed the kick-off down to the England goal and a beautiful save by Bouckley on a shot from McKellar proved to be the first break of excite- ment in the game. Offside against Scotland brought a temporary relief to England who in turn pressed the Scottish goal but their invasion prov- ed a failure they they made a good try. By some good combination, Scot- land now made fast headway towards the English nets where Hamilton took advantage of a mice forward pass to ge Bouckley mo chance to save, for the first goal of the game, ten minu- tes after the kick-off. The game af- ter this was of a give and take order with Scotland having the edge by a trifle, especially in their combination. After seventeen minutes of play, Scotland scored their second goal and followed it up with several more at- tacks that ended in passes. Their last m this period came with four minu- tes to play while England came back with a desperate rally to score heir at ith only a minute before the whistle to make the score at hs A Bre 2 ie uw fa half time, of the game for messing up a play in | In the second half Scotland settled Regain Lost Laurels inning 7-2 International Soccer Tilt at G.M. C. Picnic down to business right away and after a fruitless corner, Gow headed into the Engtish net five minutes from the start, and five minutes later Scotland got their fifth goal; two minutes later they mearly scored again, Bouckley- saving from Geo. Simpson close in. Offside against the Scots gave Eng- land a chance and breaking away they scored their second goal, Smith mis- judging the ball, twenty-five minutes from the start. Scotland, however, re- plied with another three minutes lat- er, and four minutes later they scor- ed for the seventh time. Full time result--Scotland 7, Eng- land 2. Both teams played well. There was not a weak man in the Scottish team; the half backs were almost impregn- able. The English forward could not really settle down against them, while one would think the Scottish forwards had played together all season, their understanding was so complete, it would be hard to tell who was best. In the English team Bouckley saved some good shots, and could not be blamed for six of the goals at least. The backs were good though at times erratic; the halfs worked hard, though not always effective. Some good n- dividual touches were seen in the for- ward line, but combination was lack- ing. It was a good, clean game, and played in a good old country sports- manlike fashion, and was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone. Some are hop- ing the game may be an annual one. The line ups were: Scotland--Smsith, goal ; backs, Vassie and McEwan; halves, Muir, Reid and Hurst ; outsides, G. Simpson and Gow; forwards, Ford, Hamilton and Mc- Kellar. England---Goal, Bouckley; backs, Gilbert and Murrell; halves, Price, Tappin and Nicholls: outsides, W. Simpson and Metcalfe; forwards, O. Weeks, Sturch and C. Weeks.

The affair was the first of the home and home game series in the opening round of the Juvenile O.B.AA. play downs. After an impressive beginning, the game developed into a slugging battle that ended with Peterboro scor- ing four runs in the eighth and three in the tenth with South Oshawa re- taliating with five in the seventh, three in the tenth and one in the eleventh which won the game. This. gives them the edge to carry with them when they journey to Peterboro for the return game, Both teams used two pitchers who were all equally good but who were all handled unkindly by the opposing batters at almost every. turn, it being only the smart playing of the men in the field that kept the score from mounting any higher than it did, Jack Smith was the first to go to the mound for Bobby Bint's men and he held the Petes in check fairly well except for dangerous outbursts in the third and fifth. He was followed by "Chuck" Reeves who made a good showing hut was bothered by a few visits of wild- ness although he well made up for it in his strike out activities, especially in the ninth when he retired the side in one-two-three order, In all, he struck out six while Smith whiffed four in seven stanzas, Smith only allowed four hits against five which went the Royals while Reeves was on the hill. Cripps started the game for the Lift Lock City men and was followed by Holmes who pitched with such suc cess against the South Oshawa Mid gets last year. His success stood for little in this contest though, the seven hits' which were nicked off of him indicate. In two innings the re- tired in succession by strike outs, The first ocenrred in the very opening can- to with South Oshawa being at the unpleasant end of the bargain while the one in the ninth with Reeves bein the cause has already been mentioned, Although Peterboro had two men on bases in the first, the introduction to excitement came in the second when South Oshawa rung up the first counter of the game with Siwowkoski being responsible. Peterbor came back with two in the third and the game was then under way in real earnest, both teams realizing that they had no task ahead of them. - A hit, a sides were easy walk and an error went for these two | runs, with the lead-off men, Hope and Hollinesworth doing the counting. A walk to Trotter started a three J run break in the fourth for South Osh- awa which was followed by a similar outburst from the Petes in the fifth | which brought them to a 5 to 4 score for the Royals. Trotter, Siwowkowski, and. Russell scored the three for South Oshawa while Hollinesworth, Hartley and Cripps went the circuit for the visitors, Lull in Storm The sixth was a lull in the storm for bath aggregations, it being followed by a five run melee by South Oshawa in the seventh and a four run rally by Peterbora in the cighth which tied the score, 9-9. Hits from Leydon, Smith, Craggs, Reeves, McConkey and Si- wowkowski were responsible for the local men's five rims, the counters go- ing to the first five mentioned. The quartette which were garnered by Pet- erboro came from Hope, Hollinesworth, Jones and 'Gordon, The sides went out in order in the ninth but the tenth saw a merry hit- ting match that gave both teams cause for heart failure before they came off the field. Peterboro, who went to bat first, started with a walk and ended with a combination of loose play and hits to account for their scores. For the third time for Hope and fourth for Hollinesworth, they again took part in the scoring, the third run going to Cripps which was his second of the day, South Oshawa evened it up in their half of the tenth when Brady lifted the lid and was followed hy Russell and Leydon around the circuit. Clean hits were the cause of the runs and that fact was also evident when they went after their winning counter in the ele- venth, The first man up in the last struck out to make it seem at the time that the game would have to go twelve stanzas but Craggs, who had gone in for Trotter, deemed otherwise when he bagged his first hit of the day. He was followed by hits of no uncertain quantity from Siwowkowski, Drinkle and Brady, the last of which brought in the run and ended the game with a real climax, With this success behind them, there will be no stopping for the local men until they have made a name for them- selves in the local baseball annals, and playing the brand of ball they did on Saturday, they certainly should elimin- ate Peterboro's hopes.
