§ Anak. Aadbaaad THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 21, 1928 ---- INDUSTRIAL SOFT BALL LEAGUE ORGANIZES FOR COMING SEASO Grads are Given Big Reception Toronto, Mar, 21--There have been better organized receptions to con- quering atbletes who have returnel to Toronto after capturing honors in foreign countries than that which was extended to the University of Toronto Graduates, world's amateur champions, upon their arrival home from their triumphant visit to Swit- gerland and other European coun- lries' late yesterday aiternoon, but there have been few, if any, in which the public have given such a spon- taneous welcome as that tendercd to the winners of the Olympic cham- pionship at St. Moritz, a little more than a month ago. Despite the fact that there was a committee sclected some time ago to make arrangements for the reception, the parade and the presentation to the players at the City Hall, there was a most apparent lack of co-operation among the vari- ous athletic bodies in the city, and it fell to the thousands who filled the roles of spectators, at the station, along the route of the parade to the City Hall, and at the scenc of the 'presentation to assure the members of the championship team that their efforts, which resulted in the world's championship coming to Canada for the third successive time, and to the city for the second time in four years, are heartily appreciated. The Olympic hockey party, in charge of Manager W. A, Hewitt, ar- rived via CanadianNational at the Union Station at 5.40, and after the various members had been greeted by relatives, future relatives and friends for about ten minutes, Inspector Mil- ler marshalled the returning conquer- ors and led them through the con- course to the front of the station where they were assigned to cars and followed in the rear of the par- ade along Bay street to the City Hall. The Royal Grenadiers had pre- ceded the players' cars, and the route was thronged with those who wish- ed to acclaim the boys who had re- tainedthe hockey supremacy of the world for Canada, and in addition to the vocal salutations there were con- tinual showers of colored paper rib- bons and confetti from the many of- fice windows that overlooked the par- ade, They were greeted at the City Hall by a musical salute from the band of the 48th Highlanders, Missed the Heroes The spontancous nature of the wel- come more than made amends for the lack of organization, and another fea- ture that made a hit, with both the players and those who witnessed the presentation, was the brevity of the ceremony, The Grads were conduci- ed to the City Hall in cars, the ma- jority of them being of the closed variety, and many of the spectators along the line of route missed them entirely, but at civic headquarters they were given a noisy welcome as they took their places on the plat- form. Capt. Jack "Red" Porter, who carried the Olympic championship trophy in his arms, was easily pick- ed out as he towered above his team- mate and the civic and athletic offi- cials, and the other 'members of the team were quickly recognized and ac- tlaimed. HOCKEY RESULTS Hockey games played last night re- sulted as follows: : Allan Cup Series xManitoba Var. 4 Trail ,... x--Varsity wins round, 10-0. National Leagu: Maple Leafs .... 6 Boston Canadiens 5 Americans ... Otticers Ele cled and Plans Discussed For 1628 Softball Season * Gordon Jacobi Chosen Presi. dent -- Many Clubs Rep- resented at Largely At. tended Meeting -- Wes. ley Davis is the Secretary Treasurer Gordon Jacobi was elected president of the Oshawa Industrial Softball League last evening, at a meeting of the league at the Y.M, C.A. A large representation of the clubs interested in the league turn- ed out, and one of the industrial league's most successful gatherings was held. Perhaps we should say Industrial City League, for such the meeting decided would be a more fitting name for the association. Two or three clubs that could not be termed "industrial" have signi- fied their anxiety to enter teams in the league, and with the G.M.C. entry uncertain, because of the con- templated Big Four organization, which will comprise teams playing under the names of divisions of General Motors, it was thought that the name should be enlarged so that these outside teamrs could be included. It is expected that it will be affiliated again with the parent Softball Assoriation. William Moncur was elected vice-president of the newly-named league, and Wesley Davis was elect- ed secretary-treasurer. William Harmer, past president, acted as chairman last evening, but declined the nomination for the office for this year. "Bill" is running for the office of president of the On- tario Amateur Softball Association, and in view of the facet that the power of this organization has here- tofore heen lodged in the western section of the league, it would he advantageous from all standpoints if *Bill""" Harmer could be elevated to the presidency. He has heen an exceptionally hard worker in the Industrial League proved that he could take over the reins of office in the larger field acceptably. David Stratton was appointed to see Alderman D.A.J. Swanson, and to ask Mr. Swanson if he would have any objections to the league being ahanged slightly in form, Mr. Swanson was the donor of the cup to the Industrial League. Tt was thought that perhaps a Con- solation Cup, i.e., the City League Cup, might be given to the team finishing in second place at the end of the season. This was not final- ly decided. Discussion anent the referees, and their payment, and the number of teams, and the manner in which the schedule would be arranged were all left for the next meeting, It was thought that the best way in which to draw up the schedule was as last year, divide it into two groups with the winpers playing off. The next meeting when all these held in two weeks from last even- ing, April 4, at the Y. M, C. A. at eight o'clock. Any teams wish. ing to enter should be sure to have representatives present. They do not have to be 'industrial' teams. One of the new articles in the league is the Ukrainian Catholle Club, who announced their wish tn field a team in the City Industrial League. The officers of the Oshawa and District League will be out in force to the Ontario Amateur Softball Association annual meeting which will be held here on Good Friday, April 6th, The City Industrial, with other softball leagues in the city, is affiliated with the senior organization, and Oshawa is for- tunate to have secured the meet- ing, The officers of the Oshawa and District League are: H. l. Broomfield, president; Willian Harmer, vice-president; Richard Branton, secretary; IF. Heaslip, treasurer. Whether the city iadusirial league will arrange for a juvenile division, or have a sephrate exccu- tive. to conduct the affairs of the juveniles will also come un for de- cision. iWth Gordon Jacobi ut the helm, however, it seems probable that a juvenile league will be op- erated along with the geuier ser- ies. A junior series will form part of the City Industrial activi- ties, in. all probability BASEBALL DOPE FROM THE SOUTH New York, N Mar. 20.--The baseball dope that is being waft- ed gently northward already offered answers to most of the mo- mentous questions that accompan- ied the major league outfits to the South.

HERES MILDNESS FOR YOU+*AND A LOT CHESTERFIELD CIGARETTES Leafs Newcomers Show up Well Albany, Ga., Mar, 20, -- It was cloudy and cool today, with rain not very far away, but the Leafs had the most satisfactory session of the Spring training season in the afternoon, and it is beginning to look as if some of the regulars, notably Les Burke, will have to do some tall hustling to hold down their jobs. Bedore, the Chicago infielder, improves on acquain- tance, and that he is a fair sort of a hitter his performance in the last two six-inning scrambles would attest, He had two more lusty swipes today, nicking Fish« er for one of the two hits that the veteran permitted in his stay in the box and getting the other at the expense of Lucas. His field- ing was all that could be desired, Burdine had three sizzling smacks, and the Boston Adonis, whose offerings included a soarer over the left field fence, will have to be seriously considered when the outfield question is being dis- cusssed, It was his second of- fence of the kind in as many days. He reported to the Leafs with a reputation as a free-swinging slug- ger, and in his case advance no- tices were not far astray, Doyle Riel and Bobo looked alike to him, and all three were bearing donw at all stages, Pitchers Coming Along As a matter of fact, most of the Toronto twirlers are almost ready now at this early period in their preparatory work to pitch winning ball. The strength of the club lies in its pitchers, and with Col- lins due to report the Toronto club will have a flinging corps that should command a lot of re- spect, It was with great glee today that Manager O'Hara received the intimation that the Texan is due to come along, With Collins on like the major possessed of anything form that made him a league star for many years, has ! 1--George Sisler has beaten out | broken leg, staged a come-back and | pepped | up by the addition of Hornshy, will | not | filling | the second hase bill for the cham- | will be a great acquisition. Clar- ence Fisher showed that he is just | tbout ripe in game, when he worked three in- | hings at top speed, striking out Daubenspeck and Keyes in order | to finish his chore. Kiel worked almost as nicely, but Doyle didn't have much luck, Sheedy to Join Leafs | Clayton Sheedy, whose purchase | from Jack Dunn of Baltimore for | £10,000 wa saunounced today by Manager O'Hara, is expected to report a tonce, He refused to join the Birds this year and has been at his home in Baltimore | awaiting notification from Dunn | as to what disposition he intended to make ol him, Sheedy is a fair fly chaser as well as a first baseman and it is likely that he | will be stationed in the outfield with Toronto It is in that par- ticular that the Leafs are a little | hit shy Sheedy may fill the bill, He is a .300 batsman in any com- pany Today's game saw tained respectively hy Billy {and Les Burke battle six innings and it was anybody's contest until { the final frame when Burdine | broke up the affair with a eolossal clout over the left field fence for the circuit. l.ena Styles was much to the fore in batting, but his base running was not up to the Once he was caught cold off second on a snap throw by Fisher and on another occasion he was headed off at the plate when he attempted to score on a short hit, teams eap- | Rensa Injured "Catcher Rensa was a casualty, the energetic backstop having a finger split by a foul tip, but al- though the blood streamed freely from the cut he refused to quit, but received first aid from Train er Tommy Daly and continued in the fray.

Rensa shot a fly to left which Keyes muffled, but recovered quickly and his return throw was gobbled up by Davis who raced over to the centre of the diamond for the ball. He caught Alexan- der off first and then pegged SPOR1 SNAPSHO1S The Grads received a tumultuous reception at Toronto yesterday on their arrival with the Olympic Trophy. It was almost a repetition of the reception accorded the Grads after their conquest of Fort William. They have certainly had a wonderful trip, and in their preambles through Europe, visited England, France, Belgium, Holland, Germany, Austria and Switzerland. They travelled to the coast last year to mect Fort William and now have covered the other part of the journey, from Toronto to Halifax twice. Hockey has its advantages. "Joe" Sullivan's dad came to Oshawa yesterday to meet the train coming through from the East carrying the Grads. A party went down to Montreal to meet the team, but their train arrived in Montreal 13 hours late. Next year from advices received, another intermediate hockey team will be operating in Oshawa. A team for the Toronto Mercantile League is also considered, and plans have been under way for some time regarding the formation of these teams. It is felt that a great amount of hockey talent is going to waste with only two O.H.A. teams operating here, and if the new rink is built, steps will certainly be taken to see that every player with latent ability is given a chance to show his wares, The Regina Monarchs who visited the city yesterday as guests of the General Motors, seemed to be a particularly clean looking bunch of hockey players, and have made fine impressions on all their trips, The occasion for their visit to Oshawa, is that Ross Robson, the pre- sident of the Regina Monarch Hockey Club, is the Chevrolet dealer in Regina, They play Ottawa Gunners tonight, and many in this scec- tion will be pulling for the westerners to win. It would certainly do hockey more good to see the trophy travel west for a change. The Ottawa district have been long without a junior cup also, but the majority seem to feel that they will be still longer. The westerners are credited with one of the best teams to come from the golden west, The Industrial Softball League have decided that City Industrial would be a more fitting appellation for their organization, and outside teams will be eligible to enter the league. Gordon Jacobi should make an excellent president, as he is one of the most ardent softball fans in the city, Wes Davis, who formerly was responsible for this column, 15 sceretary-treasurer of the league for this coming season, Bill Mon- cur, the vicespresident of the league, rounds out one of the finest execu- tives since the inception of the league. The meeting of the Ontario Amateur Soithall Association takes place in Oshawa on Good Friday, April 6th, and one of the largest delegations the league has ever had at an annual meeting are expected to make the pilgrimage to the Mo- tor City, The advance sale of tickets for the boxing show on Friday would indicate that the largest crowds to ever take in a regiment show will be on hand.

Galbraith and Harrington were re- sponsible for the Bruins' pair of goals, The Bruins appeared to be trying out a new passing attack for the Stanley Cup series, It was not a suc- cess.

GYPSY SMITH IS COMING TO TORONTO Plans are well under way for Gypsy Smith's coming to Toronte for three weeks of evanzelistie meetings in Massey Hall, opening on April 9, the day after Easter, and continuing until April 29, A gathering of miniscers and office- bearers is to be held in Massey Mall on the afternoon of Easter Mon- day, followed by the opening pub- lic service, with reservations for young peoples' societies, that night, Afternoon and evening .neetings will be held daily thereafter, ex- cept Saturdays, during the cam- paign. Noon-day meetings are be- ing arranged for the Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays of the period. The general commitiee, meeting yesterday under the chairmanship of Ex-Mayor W. W. Hiltz, found preparations so far advanced that completion of plans was referred to the executive committee, which is made up of the following: Hon- orary chairman, Rev. Geo. C. Pid- geon, D.D.; chairman, W. W. Hiltz; vice-chairman, Rev. Jobn Coburn; secretary, Rev. W, A. Hunnisett; WALTER JOHNSON ILL St. Augustine, Fla., March 20.-- Walter Johnson, veteran of the baseball world, and pitcher-man- ager of the Newark, N.J., Bears, is suffering from a slight intestinal trouble, but will be on the mound for his club by May 1, James T. Sinnot, president of the Interna- tional League Club, said tonight. Johnson has been ordered to take a rest and probably will go to Daytona Beach within a few days, Sinnot said.

Manager Schepner is very sweet on the 17- year-old who is as neat as a new pin around the base and there is talk of leaving him here when the leafs break camp. At any rate he will not be allowed to go with- out strings. Daubenspeck to Go The first player to be dropped will probably be Daubenspeck, the outfielder, recommended by Bugs Hersche. He is out of his ele- ment entirely in this company. There was a welcome arrival this morning at the Leafs' camp in the person of Erwin Sexton the young outfielder, who led the Toronto Club in battling in the few games that he played last Fall. Sexton, who has been a hold-out of sorts, reported in good shape, having been working out at his home, and if he starts where he left off last season stands on excellent chance of making the club as a regular. The Leafs ecan use experienced men in the outerworks, and Sex- ton pretty nearly answers the bill. Rabbitt Expected Joe Rabbitt is expected along ; any day.
