o Softball Fi inals; Win St. Catharines Here 5 to 2 Pitchers': Sond Lol Oshawa Chevrolets will journey to St. Catharines with a one gameilead when they go to that city next Wednesday afternoon for the final game for the intermediate championship of the Ontario Amafeur Softball Association. The Motor City representatives won a hard fought game here Saturday afternoon at Alexandra Park 'when they trounced the visiting St. team 5 to, 2. Thomas Church of Si. Kitt's, The game' was said by followers of the sport to be the best game ever played in this city and the Chevs, in their opinion is the strongest team that ever represented the city in a championship. Saturday 's game was essentially a piteher's battle between Webster of the locals and Pollock of the visitors.: Having no less than a dozen strike-outs, the tall Chevrolet pitcher allowed the visitors nothing and with 'the exception of "one inning when Luke mussed up a ball in the field le was decorded support that meant not a little. Oshawa Motors Play Drqw T: "ih dion h Willys Oshaw; go ed a; vo all tie with thé y be land Wm the Sec- ond softer game. at Alexandra Park Saturday afterfioon in a Provincial I .cagug fixture, The game was a good exhibition of the favorite English past- time and it, was too bad a larger crowd did not 'atterdd. The earlier game be- tween Oshawa City and _Goodyears tended to" fill 'the sport card for an afternoon 'and the majority of fans did not stay'for the second battle. It was five minutes past four o'clock when the Motors kicked off against 'the wind. Right from the start the General Motprs attack lacked force and from the outset the Willys representatives sent, the locals back on the defence. They did. not, however, take long to come around and soon were making tracks for the Willys' goal. Their stay here, though "was of short duration. Again the play hovered on Willys' goal and a foul close in gave them a chance to scoré, but movements were slow and Willys 'hacks cleared easily. The visi- tors now 'todk a turn at pressing but all they got was a corner, though they might have scored on one occasion. Smith was too smart for them, at this stage and Willys' did most of the of- fensive "work and for a time looked like scoring. Motors then trrned and made 'a combined attack on Willys' goal where Sathran piloted his way through the defence and neatly placed the ball in the net after twenty-five minutes of play. The visiting players tried hard for the equalizing goal and it came rather easy for them. In fact it seemed a mistake. Jrodie let Jarvie in to beat Smith with a low fast shot exactly thirty minutes after the initial whistle blew. A few minutes later Young for Willys' struck the upright. This awakened the Motors and they made a great attack on the visitors' goal. Sathran was making nicely for goal when he -was held, a foul being awarded against the visitors for holding. Motors nearly scored from the foul. From this time on until half time play was fairly even. The count at half tigie was one clock registered 5.17 o'clock second half got underway. ors were the first team to be- come dangerous and several good at- tempts wernt on past and became use- less. After fifteen minutes of play in the second half Willys again forced matters, but the home defence steadied up to the attack and prevented them from scoring. After placing the bali to their forwards who in turn tried a few tricks. One of them had effect, Later another was disallowed on the plea of off-side. It was a close deci- sion. Sathran followed this up by sending in a stinging shot, but Edge- gold by a great piece of work saved. The game from this point to the finish was quite even, Willys managed to get another €ounter just before the fin- ish of the game. It was quite dark at this stage and it was difficult for play- 'ers and spectators to see the plays: The final score was 2 to 2. The line-up was as follows: Willys Overland Edgegold goal Searle R.B.

Both H out and the catcher threw On the other hand 'he visiting Pollack also pitched a re- markahle game and he .was given in- different support. Records have been made by teams, both hardball and softball, but it is doubtful if there are teams that can compare to the record of the Osh- awa Chevrolets. They have won twenty-five consecutive league and playoff games this year. Not only that ball but they passed through a good year | last Summer losing out only in the lat- est stages of the Ontario finals. If they win next Wednesday against the St. Thomas church team in St. Cath- arines they will have completed the season without a loss. Oshawa Scored: First St. Catharines started off in the first inning and for a few minutes 'it looked ag though Webster was in no shape to pitch. Holmes, the first man on the visiting line-up got a long drive for a first base hit. Webster walked the second man up advancing the pre: vious runner to second. He then, with two men on bases and none down, struck out the next three men, Hal- lett, A. Caull and Horne. No runs, one hit and no errors. Securing one run their half of the first, helped the winning Chevs. not a little in later stages of the game, Webster lead-off man struck out, but Bill Gumnmiow got a base on balls. Doc Rowden advanced Gummow to sec- ond when the former hit to deep short. A wild pitched ball by Pollock sent each runner a base nearer home. Hub- bel tried hard to hit them in but flew out to second in the attempt. "It fell to May to do the trick and he re- sponded with a base wallop that scor- ed Gummow. It was an unearhed run. Joyce grounded for the third out. One run, one hit and no errors. Webster got going very struck the first man, W. He walked Allen, however, and then allowed: Darling to hit safely. The lat- ter, made two cut when he was "caught off" Pollock grounded to third, mak- ing three down. No runs, one hit and no. errors, Pollock, the visiting twirler, was dis- playing nice art at the pitching game and he was tighteping up. He fanned L. Luke and forced H, Luke to ground out to the pitcher who threw to first for two out. J. Hall got on base when the first sacker on the visiting team dropped a throw from the short stop- per. Webster went out third to first. No runs, no hits and one error. The game developed into a regular pitchers' battle in -the third, there be- ing four strike-outs out of "six men up. Webster fanned Holmes and Lounsburg and then Hallett flied out to left field, In the Chevrolet half of the inning Gummow and Rowden, who "started things" in the first, both struck out . No runs, no hits and no errors on both sidés. High flies featured the fourth. A. Caull struck out and the next two St. Kitters were forced to flv. They were Horne and W. Caull. The homesters were in the same box, although. there was no strike out to start things. May, the first nan, was walked, but was caught off first by Pollock, who threw to Hallett. "Flash" Joyce and L. Luke flew out to second and first re- spectively. No runs. no hits and no errors. well - and Caull, out. St. Kitts. Score Two / Things looked rosey, as far as Osh- awa was concerned up to the half way mark, but in the visiting players' half of the fifth the Chevrolet stock took a sudden fall." Allen, first man up, struck out, So well and so good. But when Darling, the centre fielder of the fruit city players, came to bat he hit a semi- fly to centre field, guarded over by L. Luke, The latter played the ball in- differently and the batter got a hit. Still messing the ball around, the Chev. fielder allowed the runner to get to second; L. Ilulie was credited with an error by the official scorer for allowing the extra base. : Pollock, the next man up, walked, and both Darling and Pollock | stole bases. 'Holmes struck out. Lourns burry got cn base on an error by Gum- Darling. and Pollock scored. After ail the 'damage had been done, Hallett flew out to first base.

The lo- cals had complete control of the game from the start, and excelled Dave Harding's Airmen in every branch of the play. "Yip"..Foster's good kick- ing on the baekfield put the Beachers in scoring position often, and the wing-line, which was far heavier than that of Camp Borden, plunged over for the touchdowns. "Red" Moore and Foster started on the backfield for: Balmy Beach, and since his injured shoulder has been cured, Moore lived up to his reputa- tion of being a promising player. Fos- ter's punting was superior to that of Harding, and 'his running was a fea- ture of the game. Camp Borden kick- ed off, and when they fumbled Fos- ter's return Balmy Beach recovered. After a 15-yard run by Balmy Beach, Foster scored the first, touchdown when Crowhurst crashed through the ling for ten yards after but three minutes of play. Cawkell converted it. This early score seemed to take the heart out of Camp Borden, and from then on it was a parade. "Scotty" Cawkell, the .captain of "Balmy Beach team, was again seen on. secondary defense, and turned in a good game. The few of Camp Bor- den's plays that did get through Beach's wing line were stopped at the second liné, and this was due much to the work of Cawkell. He scored two touchdowns .and- converted them. He made some good plunges, and was prominent on end runs. He also fea- tured with tackling that saved Balmy ILieach some big losses. Oshawa One Goal Over Goodyears in Playoff' Between: Win- ners of "A" and "B" Sec- tions for T. and D. Senior Honors -- Big Crowd Sees Battle Here Saturday Oshawa City Football Club won the first game of the series for the cham- pionship of "A" and "B" sections of the Toronto and District League Sat- urday afternoon at Alexandra Park when they defeated Goodyears of New Toronto 2 to 1 in a keenly contested game. By virtue of their win the lo- cals will go into the return game a week from next Saturday with a one goal lead, as goals on the round count. While the game was billed for three o'clock, it was 3.15 by the time Referee Mitchell called for the kickoff. There was a great crowd on hand and it was plainly evident from the way the spectators acted that there avas going to be excitement. Oshawa lost the toss and had to play against the wind which was blowing frem the South. Metcalfe kicked off for Osh- awa who immediately went to the at- tack, Gow losing the ball when he tried to beat the wind which was certainly helping the Goodyears. A good piece of work by Flack sent Greiverson away on the left and he started and centred nicely only for Lappier to come across with that old head of his and take the ball away from Stephens who was going in for a nice header at Mitchell. Not to be denied Good- years again came back and determined to score. Braddy had a wonderful chance with only Mitchell to beat. He placed in the goalie's hands in fine style. In less time than it takes to count five, Chadwick came through with a nice run on the right and end- ed up with a nice centre. Braddy re- CR I a a a i a SR SS SE joofoeforte Eleven Wins iFirst Game of the Series: For Soccer Championship Local Soccerites Have Lead of ? ing together, Three wins and a tiesthat in short is exactly what Oshawa sporg teams forced during the week-end. "Not a bad job, is it? The first win of the after- noon was probably the most important one from a city standpoint. In this game the Chevrolets, winners of Eastern and Western Ontario sections of the Q.A.S.A, defeated the St. Thomas Church teanr, winners of Southern Ontaric section of the same organization, in the first of the 'Ontario finals for the in- termediate title. The score was 5 to 2. Immediately following this clash Oshawa City Football Club defeated Goodyears of New Toronto 2 to 1 in the first division championship of the Toronto and District League. Then Oshawa Collegiate Gridders downed Cobourg 16 to 6 in an interscholastic fixture, Just hefore dusk the Oshawa Motors tied with Willys-Overland 2 to 2 in a Pro- vincial League battle. SPORT SNAPSHOTS an a a ae If Oshawa City is to be represented in the Ontario Amateur Basketball Association this year, representatives should get together and make prepara- tions for the coming season. Delegates will have to be appointed to the annual meeting November 12 in Toronto. Last fall a team was gathered together and when it came time to get going the locals found they were "out" of it simply because they had not been represented at the annual meeting. There was nobody to blame but themselves. Basketball has been a little backward in the past two years and there is absolutely no reason for it. Some organi- zation should get together and take the matter up and thus set this city back on the map in the basketball world. Quite true, the collegiate teams do repre- sent the city to a certain extent, but a place with a population of 20,000 inhabi- tants, without taking the rural district into consideration, can certainly support a City team. Two better sports than Bill Gummow and Scott Hubbell never lived. These two lads worked hard to help the Chevroiets get the lead in the first game for the intermediate championship of the Ontario Amateur Softball Association and immediately following the win they were'sped away to Cobourg to help the Oshawa Collegiate win from Cobourg interscholastic boys. With all due respect to the two athletes, officials of the teams. should step in and take a hand in the situation. It should either "+, rugby or softball. Rugby is altogether tdo dangerous a game for the players to indulge in es- pecially when they are depended upo by the Chev. management to help not a little in "bringing home the bacon" next Wednesday. her of these lads would have been injured seriously Saturday in Cobourg the Chevs. would be in a pretty pickle Wednesday. Well, it looks like a battle between University of Toronto Schools and the Oshawa Collegiate gridders when they fight it out for the supremacy of the local interscholastic grouping. The UT.S. won handily from Lindsay Saturday in the latter placéd and Oshawa won rather softly from Cobourg 16 to 6. There should be a sweet crowd at old Alex. park on the 29tth of this month when the T boys play here. While teams at times may go great guns, they can also be 'beaten 'at times. Here's hoping that is the way it goes on the 29th inst. Rugby would be given a great boost in this city if the local boys won. the grouping' this year.. It is really too bad that the strong U.T.S, team was put mn this grouping for it is certainly a team of highen calibre than the local C.IL Many of the old time soccer players were standing on the touch line at Saturday afternoon's big game between the Goodyears and Oshawa City, Not- able among them were Franky Sturch, Nicholls, John' Bregg, McEwan, Sid- away Payne, Burke and the old reliable Tom Bouckley. They were all stand- Wouldn't they still make a nice team? Jock Muir was sent, off the ficld in Saturday's Toronto and District Soccer League' game for «a foul and now he has been summoned to appear. before the Toronto and District Council at Toronto tonight. Referee Mitchell and offi- cials of the Goodyear team are also asked to attend. It would be quite a blow to the local team if Muir was to be suspended for a time, but this action is hardly likely as it is the first tithe the player. has ever been banished from the playing field. He is counted upon for the line-up in the return game a week trom next Saturday and if he is forced out the team will be considerably weak- cned. Toronto officials no doubt will try their best, but just wait and see. Golf tourhaments have been held in the past and will take place in the future but it is doubtful if any "gouf"' players enjoyed themselyes as much as the G.M.C. fellows did at the Oshawa wolf Club Saturday afternoon. Sixty stgong, good, prizes and a bumper dinner in the club house following the game were only a few of the features on the program. The less said the better. Prize winners at the Motor City Bowling Club for the past week were Bill, 'Ponkin who carried off the ten pin with a score of only '190, while Violet Copeland rolled the highest single score ever bowled in Oshawa by a lady when she knocked the pins for 322. The previous high score was made in 1925 by A. Robertson and the mark was 302. Miss Copeland' s mark will likely stand for some time to come. The men's five pin prize was awarded Lew Roenigh of the Bowmanville Recreation Club. The high single in the.men's five.pin ocm- petition goes to William Thomson with a score of 319, Leagues will get going Tuesday. night when Phillip"s Work's; League starts in the ten pin game. It is a new league. The Major Ladies City League will meet tonight to make pre- parations tor the coming season. Oshawa Motors don't know when they will play their game with Hamilton here in a provincial league fixture. The Hams. made a trip to Montreal re- cently and thought that by stopping off here on the return trip they would save money. The date wasn't suitable to the' Motors and the contest has been held up. The league wants the teams to straighten out the tangle but so far indications are that an agreement will not be made. The league will have to let the Hamilton squad know on which side of the bread their toast is buttered. Oshawa Motors made the trip to the; Mountain City at their own expense and now the Hamilton outfit wants expenses to come down here and play a league game. That takes thé cake. Oshawa teams in any sport haven't got enough cel-skins to send around the country like that. We'll bet all the onions in their high horse before very. long. ceived the ball dnd 'plafed a lively shot at the goal." It Tooked like a certain counter, but Mitchell surely deserved the ovation he received from the crowd when he pulled off as nice a save as anyone could see in anv game. Oshawa Pressed Hard It was Oshawa's chang: next to do something and Simpson: and. Dunstall worked good and very hard on right wing. Simpson "nearly opened the scoring on a neat pass from Muir, but he just sent the ball over the bar with a lovely try. Oshawa was just be- ginning to wake up and pressed the Goodyear defence hard. After a mellee in the Goodyear mouth Stewart got a hot one from Metcalfe and the former tried to fist it away, but the ball. went out to Simpson who took a first timer only to miss the upright by inches. The crowd was excited and "up in the air" at this point. A breakaway by G. Greiverson went to waste when he ran the ball a little too far. Conners re- lieved him with a masterly kick away up the field. Connors played a nice game and he, together with Lappin, was tackling well against the wind. After a nice piece of work Muir' sent the ball out to Gow who in turn placed a' nice pass out to Hamilton. The latter swung the ball across to Simpson who drove over the bar. Ney- ertheless it was a fine try, the miss be- ing partly attributed to the damaging wind. The element was doing much to stop the city boys from getting in thein finer points and the Goodyears were taking full advantage of it and continued to press for goal. Oshawa defence was playing a determined game and was not to be caught nap- ping at any time. Play got interesting were playing a great and understand- better of it. Ramage, Muir and Reid with Oshawa: having a little of the ing game. Half time blew with a 0 to 0 score. The second half opened up in a live- ly fashion and Oshawa, full of deter- mination, went down on the Goodyear goalie every few minutes. The game has not been resumed very long when Muir, who was chasing FY opponent fouled Chadwick and was immediatel sent off the field for foul play. "This was hardly fair as the player had not been warned but as far as the rules of the game go, the referee was justi-. fied and it was hard lines for the city team, who had to play ten men against eleven, But woe, just as if the set- back and loss of a player had meant nothing the team went through their paces and with deliberation bombard- ed the Goodyear citadel without being able to score. Oshawa was awarded a penalty when a Goodyear full back used his hands. Hamilton was entrust- ed with the kick and.made no mistake about. it and beat Stewart for the first goal of the game. The score was now 1 to Q for Oshawa City. Ie Was-now | that Oshawa City players were show- ing their superiority over, the rubber men. Oshawa's Second Goal Soon after the first count had been Yegistered Simpson made a nice dis and scored.a goal from thirty yar out. It was the kind of a goal that fans would like to see more of, but the game at this point was ome of big kicking' by Goodyear and pressing without any luck by Oshawa. . If the lucky man had been with them the team would have had a five: goal lead to take to New Toronto. A break- away by Goodyear and Connors stumb- led letting in Stephens who beat Mit- chell with a fast shot for the first Goodyear count of the game. This again set the homesters going and they pressed hard without any luck, - The game ended 2 to 1 for Oshawa. The teams lined up as follows: Oshawa Position Goodyears W. Mitchell goal R. Stewart W.

It appears that O'Brieh was not informed by the head line man regarding the time to be pl ed, as called for under the. rules. A similar incident occurred in the Mec- Gill Second-Loyola game last Wed- nesday, the ruling in the contest leaving McGill Seconds winners by one point, the decision being that a protest was not in order through the laxity somewhere of an official.

Oshawa Colle Whirlwind Game at Coboprg| Saturday: Sees O. C. L in ' Fine Form--After Trailing. 6-0 at Middle of Second vail Throughout Rugby games may, come and "rugs gamés may go, but it will be many a day before Lakeshore Park, Cobourg, sees another such game as that played there on Saturday afternoon last when Oshawa Collegiate Institute and Co- bourg Collegiate met in a whirlwind game which finally resulted in a 16 to 6 victory in favor of Oshawa, despite the fact that the Q.C.I.' youths were in arrears by a 6 to 0 score up to the middle of the second quarter. Three touchdowns by Bill "Wink" Gummow all of which came after plunges vary- ing from ten to twenty yards in dis- tance, together with one point from a kick to the dead line off Scott Hub- bell's boot, were responsible for Osh- awa's sixteen victory gaining points. Such a game for excitément has rare- ly been seen in these parts and we may safely say, has never before been seen in the Ferry Town. Starting from the opening whistle and the kick off and continuing without a break in fevered interest right to the very closing play, it was truly a great game and it was made still. more so by the clean exhibition of. sportsman- ship which was displayed by. both teams throughout. Bill Gummow made the touchdowns for Oshawa and Jack Fowlie, also by a touch, was responsible tor 5 of Co- bourg's 6 points, but not by any sem- blance of a doubt did these alone have everything to do with the final result. Every player, and especiaily those on the Oshawa team, played a truly great game and particular credence must be given to them as well as to those who wer responsil..e for the points.' Osh- awa's line botn in defensive and ag- gressive work, turned in a game on Saturday that will remain long in the memory of those present while the daring and sensational work which was turned in by Gummow and Hub- bell in the backfield was the most thrilling exhibition of ground gaining which the writer has ever seen. Time and again did this pair break away with the ball and just as the one was being tackled he would pass sometimes fifteen or twenty feet to the other who 'would carry the pig- skin, in the majority of cases, another ten or fifteen yards before he was brought down. In all, Hubbell! and Gummow together easily gained 150 vards on Saturday. Team Si But while Messrs. Hubbell and 'Gumitow carried the punch and did the sensational work, the steady and reli- able element 'which is necessary on any team, was also in evidence to a gratifying extent and with this com- bination continuing, O.CI. . should: make a real mark for, herself in rugby this year. Don Cutler in the line, al- though playing with his bad ankle swathed in bandages, turned in a game both defensively and offensively which was indeed a spectacle for sore eyes and so also did: Jack "Tub" Smith who although only in his second real year at the game gained ground and turned. back the Cobourg advance through his position like the real vet- eran he proved himself. to; be. "Bonny" both turned out for the game only ra- ther recently also proved themselves to be real eye openers especially on defence while Tom Hele especially in the early stages of the game, and "Hank" Deyman drew attention. and applause on: numerous occasions through some healthy bucks or good tackles. Oshawa's outsides and flying wings also had a day of it. Jim Stott, the new recruit from Upper Canada and North Toronto had little real tackling to do at his position at left outside but well made up for any inactivity there by carrying the ball to several lengthy gains aon a well constructed play and algo made about the best interference flany on the field. John Meek, an- Rey newcomer, from Newmarket, carried -the bulk of the tackling around the right end and was well assisted by Louis Kohen and Ed Crothers. Ar- mour and Davidson also did well in "their tackling. "Stew" Carver and "Bear" Fletcher divided the duties at quarter and their good. judgment in: handling the team was hardly: ever questioned. Both also made some fine gains when carrying the ball themselves while for their con- sistengy in getting. the plays under way as they should, Fred Bowden at snap deserves a world of credit, Snapbacks are not made in a-day and this year, Fred should prove himself to be, if not a starring quanaity, ome of the most appreciated members of the team. he game was late in getting. started | because of the softball game in Osh- awa, from which five members of the team along with the eoach, M. F. Kirk- land, came directly after the game in Oshawa had been completed. They didn't arrive until the beginning of the sécond quarter, just in time to see Co- bourg score their touchdown. The team indicated as the. regular line-up below, started the ga At 3.30 they lined Te: for the kick- off with Cobourg with the wind be- hind them, booting to Oshawa. Fletch- er took the effort on the run and banged his way up to the center of the field before he was brought to earth. On the next play, Tom Hele slashed off eleven yards on a buck throygh the outside. but on the fol- lowing scrimmage, Oshawa- was called for offside and Cobourg secured pos- session. Cobourg made their initial offensive by hitting, the Oshawa line twice without budging it an inch and then kicking to Oshawa"s 25 yard line. Then followed a short sample' ofy the "two bucks and a kick" game with the Motor City lads getting a slight edge be a relief.--Detroit News. in the repartee, greatly because of Bondurant and Johnny Northcott who giate Comes From Behind te: Win 16-6 In n Opening Rugby Clash some smooth backfield wie and gpod kicking by Bert Cornwall Take Offensive A Cobourg offside and yards gained twice in succession through' bucks from Hele, Cutler and Fletcher put {Oshawa well into Cobourg territory for the first time with the result that when Oshawa was finally forced to kick, Cobourg found themselves in pos- session on their six yard line. Then followed Cobourg's support- ers' chance for exnitation to the skies when on a kick formation, Hodgetts ran around the end and galloped forty- five yards down the. fairway before Bert Cornwall and Ed Crothers man- aged to bring him in tow. Not satis- fied with that, on the very next play Conlin, another half, whisked the oval around to the other side of the line and broke through for a thirty yard run to the accompanyment of cheers from the 500 Cobourg supporters which must have been heard as far away as Port Hope. An offside following this on Oshawa's part increased the visit- ors' difficulty and although they held valiantly on the next two plays, a rouge was scored*by Cobourg when they kicked to Cornwall behind the Oshawa line and tackled him before he had a chance either to kick or run the ball out from behind the touchline With three minutes of play left be- fore quarter time, Oshawa came back in earnest to make up for the one point and their efforts due to gains from' Fletcher, Stott and Deyman in that order, landed them almost in the center of the field and still in, posses- sion when the quarter ended. At this stage, Hubbell, Gummow, Smith, Car- ver, Bondurant and Mr. Kirkland ar- rived already for action from Oshawa. In their anxietysto get into the game immediately in the second quarter, thirteen Oshawa players instead of twelve found their way on the field for which they lost ten yards as a pen- alty and from which situation Cobourg succeeded in scoring their touch, Osh- awa being further penalized for off- side. 'The five points came when Fow- lie plowed his way past half a dozen tacklers and crossed the line with only four feet to spare from a five yard gain. © With Cobourg now leading by a 6 to 0 tally, Oshawa went into action in no uncertain manner and when the Ferry Town men mussed up the kick- off following the touchdown and Osh- awa sectfred possession, the impetus of the strengthened and determined team (Continued from 'page 7) Additional Sport on page 7 NEW: MARTIN Now Play ig » The Greatest Drama of the Sea "Blood Bi: ...Ship"' = A Most.
