iN ¥ \ MANVILLE AT RUGBY 15-5 Although New Bowmanville Up Stubborn Opposition} Los [world's wel at' the Game Students Put All Scoring in Last Twenty | Minutes of Game -- First Half Saw Teams Evenly Matched -- Plenty of 'Ex- citement: Throughout the Contest Another High School is now com- pletely "sold" to .rugby. Yesterday afternoon at Alexandra Park, Bow- manville met the track team of Osh- awa Collegiate Institute in the first game of rugby-football that. school has ever participated in, and al- though they lost by a 15 to 6 score, (they gave an admirable account of themselves and made up for their lack of experience hy their all round enthusiasm and aggressiveness. A fairly good crowd turned out and they were well repaid by the close- ness of play whieh was in evidence in the early stages and by the excite- ment which fringed the latter part. All the scoring of the game was geen in the last twenty minutes of play. Oshawa's tallies being ac- counted for. by a touchdown from Daniels and twe from oKhen while | Bowmanville's five points came on a touchdown from Lunmney in 'the first minute of play in the third quarter. The first half saw the teams fairly evenly matched and although Osh- awa had .posseseipn for a greater part: of the time, Bowmanville stood out by their good defensive work and were successful in holding their own with the tri-color youths, es- peeially when their goal line was endangered. Owing probably to in- experience, their greatest handicap was in their offensive play and with the local boys throwing up a stone wall opposition, the visitors were not once successful in gaining their yards in the first half, Yards were gained on numerous occasions hy the collegiate boys but although they were .once on the Bowmanville ten ivard line, they were unable to take advantage of their gains, In the second half, Bowmanville kicked off to Oshawa and with the ball taking a bad bounce past Rus- sell, it went hehind the goal posts, from where Baird, in an attempt to kiek it out. from hehind the line, booted the oval into Lunney's arms who hung onto it for a touchdown hrough one of the most unusual lays seen at Alexandra Park for me time. With a 5 to 0 count now facing m, Oshawa greatly increased their ssure for a score and soon had thé ball driven back into Bowman- villd: territory. An offside by Bow- manvitle helped 0.C.I. considerably at this stage and on their Tast down with a yard to go, Louis Kohen skirted the short end of the field and plunged over fod a touchdown which was unconverted to tie the by Deyman, Kohen and Bair on the Oshawa team. The visitors' tackling was their best attainment and Col.' mer, Jamieson James and Jackson were particularly worth of mention. Daniels and Cox, Oshawa's outsiders, also had some good defensive work to their credit.

CHARGE OF FALSE ADVERTISING A Now. 5.--Joe Dundee, eight boxing champion, was arrested last night by police of Pasadena, on an eastbound Santa Fe train near here, on a Las Angeles warrant, charging false advertising in connection. with the title bout fiasco here last night. The title-holder's manager, Max Waxman, also was arrested on the false advertising charge. They were taken into custody by the Pasadena officers when the Santa Fe trdin pulled into the station here. The officers found Dundee and his manager 'aboard. Although Dundee put up an argument of several mine utes, he and his companion accom- panied the officers docilely. Possibility that the charge might be increased - to "attempting to obtain money under false pretenses" appeared when it was learned that the prosecu- tor contemplated such action if any ticket-holders cared to make the com- plaint. When Dundee refused to enter the ring at Wrigley Baseball Field, members of the Commission pointed out that they had no knowledge of the reported guarantee to the cham pion. The Commission looked over Hud- kins's elaim: to the welterweight crown by default and tabled it. A crowd of angry ticketholders, with tickets rang: ing in value from $2 to $11, stormed Donald's office and demanded return of their money. As. a result, the Better Business Bureau representatives called on the City Prosecutor and the com- plaints were issued. A committee of business men was appointed to assist in getting refunds for the ticketholders. Ball park of- ficers estimated that the "gate" prob- ably exceeded $80,000. Of this amount it was expected that the State and Federal Governments would lop off their taxes. After that the prelimin- ary bout boxers would have to be paid, as well as ushers, ticket-sellers, po- licemen and firemen on detail, An advance of $33,000 on Dundee's guarantee was returned to the Com- mission by Waxman. Dundee and Waxman: were put in an automobile and headed : toward Los' Angeles. .

The Fire Department was called by Constable John Thomas and answering with great promptness soon 'had the blaze under control, The fire was confined to the floor and wall at the west end of the building on the second story. The damage through fire was not great but water ran down through the ceiling and flooded the bank below.

PRESIDENT ST. LOUIS CLUB NOT SATISFIED WITH HOWLEYITES Toronto, Nov. 5.--Dan Howley and President Phil Ball of the St. Louis club may be the best of friends and all that but there is every assumption for the belief, that the boss of the Browns is any- score, \ Following a thirty yard 'gain by Deyman and a twenty-five yard Po dg] vance by Baird after Bowmjnville's kick off, Louis Kohen again went over for a touch down for Oshawa in the early stages of the last quar- ter. Murray Kohen and Russell also assisted considerably in carrying the ball up the field in this exciting non stop advance. Oshawa's last touchdown came in the dying minutes of play when on a muffled kick behind Bowmanville's line, Daniels fell on the ball for a touchdown which partially made up for that present to Bowmanville though Baird's graciousness in the early stages of the second half. The ball was kicked well over the line from about twenty yards out by DeMille who did all of the local squad's kicking with consistent suc- cess. . Candler, Devitt and Brown, Bow- manville's halves, carried nearly all of their team's play through the game and made good showings al- though they weren't favored with thing but satisfied with the show- ing of the seventh placers under the leadership of the ex-Leaf. At any rate Ball is planning radi cal changes in the personnel of the Mound City club and among piuy- ers who are likely to he shipped to other scenes is Otis Miller who was a near whale with the Toronto club but anything but that in the Am- erican league, Steve O'Neill, anoth- ther protege of "Howling Dan," and a former Torontonian, is also said to be on Mr, Ball's little list, and taking everything by far and lzige the Browns will not look the same when the Missouri magnate gets through with them. Mr. Ball has a mind 'of his own and he is evi-. dently doing just what he said he would do last summer--sell or trade every player on the club if it was necessary: Bill O'Hara could do worse than make a play for the return of Otis Miller to the lceal club, No more popular athlete ever wore Mr, Sol- oman's regalias than the shortstop- per whose tast season was a vauner sensational runs such as those pulled | a one. --_-- o1 wT In handy packs The Oshawa City Football Club team has been playing a fine calibre of the favorite game and they are worthy of the hearty support of the sporting community in general, Reports late today. were to the effect that the team is in the best of condition and is confident of taking a fall out of the visiting -Mimico . e! even, The General Motors Football Club is playing an exhibition attraction in Broome today and indications are that the locals will return home winners. a good brand of football this fall.

Although they lost to the more experienced Oshawa Collegiate second or track team, tneir ardour was undampened, and they are already after the same team for a return game next week. With proper coaching, a few more plays and a little more weight, they would develop into a real credit to bowmanyille High School. Oshawa and Peterboro have been almost traditional rivals in rugby for the past tour or five years but this season Peterboro Collegiate were unable to enter a team in the interscholastic O.R.F.U. this fact has been bothering the rugbyists of Oshawa Collegiate For three weeks insta- tute, but about Wednesday of this week a letter came to the school which immediately drove away the dark clouds. Someone with a flash Of genius in Peterboro had written suggesting that Oshawa play their Jun- or O.R.F.U. team which is comprised almost entirely of former stars and some of the present pupils of Peterboro C.I The telephone wires were immediately almost burnt up in getting that man on the phone and mn arrangmg a home and home series with the Petes, the first of which, ir is now: definitely announced, will be played in Peterboro on ThanMsgiy- ing Day. To take another fall out of Peterboro such as they did last year to make up for the long string of defeats in the past, is the height of ambition of the local team, and from present indications, they stand a good chance of doing it although Junior rugby is usually much faster than wterscholastic, CHARGE OF ARSON | Hebron Elson, Uxbridge, Was Alleged to Have Set Fire | to Haystack (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, Nov. 5.--Hebron Elson, Uxbridge, was acquitted yesterday in the County Judge's Criminal Court of a charge of arson. Elson was ac- cused wth having set fire to a hay- stack on his father's farm, The evidence brought out strain- ed demestic relations, existing for several years between Elson and his father. The accused made threats three years ago against his father's | person and property, On the morn- ing on which the fire broke out, a disagreement arose between them again and the son stated his inten- tion of leaving home, He left the house going in the direction of the haystack. He was not seen in the immediate vicinity of the stack but a short time after he passed by it, it took fire, on the | side away from the house, He at- tempted futilely to extinguish the blaze, and then went on to Clare- mont, not returning home till night, His Honour, Judge Thompson, who heard the case ruled that the evidence was not conclusive enough to, warrant a conviction, and dismis- | sed the charge. I$ CONVICTED OF RECKLESS DRIVING (By Staff Beporter) Whitby, Nov. 5.--D. J. Desmond, Breckin, was found guilty of reck- less driving yesterday in Whitby Police Court. Desmond's car collided with a car driven by C. Wallace, Manchester, about a mile north of Brooklyn on the night of October 26. Wallace testified that Desmond's car was on the wrong side of the highway and in addition it had only one light. Edward Gammon, who lives a few yards from the scene of the crash and who was standing a short distance from the place where the collision occurred, told the same story as Wallace. Desmond claimed that Wallace turned to the left side and met him but the position of the cars after the accident showed that Desmond and not Wallace was at fault. Magistrate Willis imposed light fines on Desmond, $2 and costs on a charge of having only one light. and $10 and costs on the more serious charge of reckless driving.
