THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, MONDAY, APRIL 23, 1928 - GUELPH AND GM.C.DRAW 1-1- OSHAWA BOXER LOSES IN SEMI FINALS A Bad Field and Poor Weather Conditions Mar Opening of Soccer Season Despite Disagreeable Condi. tions, Play Was of a High Calibre and Excitement Reigns Throughout The first soccer game of the Pro- vincial League was played at Alex- andra Park on Saturday, between G.M.C. and Guelph, under poor playing conditions. The result was a draw each team scoring one goal, G. M. C. lost the toss, and Guelph kicked off with the wind in their favor. Excitement was intense for the start, and G. M. C. looked like winners all the way. Lobbans crosses from the left were of the Alan Morton type, but the treacher- ous condition of the ground kept the forwards from counting. Some good work by the Guelph right wing was broken up by the G. M, C. defence, who were playing good football. Play swung from end to end at this time, and Guelph showed that their forward line were out for goals. Sethrang, who was being heavily watched, let go a shot from thirty yards, which just grazed the left uprjght, with the goalkeeper out of reach. Guelph then took up the offensive, but were unable to penetrate the G. M. C. defence. Corners were numerous, but did not help the scoring any. The wea- ther conditions. got worse, and made good football impossible, al- though both teams were playing hard for a counter, Cregg, on the right, showed the fans that he could play more than one position. He had the Guelph defence guessing al] the time, and it was only ground conditions that kept his crosses from being coun- ters. Motors were rather unfortunate here, as their forward play deserv- ed better luck. They frequently carried play in the right direction, but their close footwork was of no use against the rigorous defence opposed to them. Conditions got so bad that fit Tooked like the game being stopped, and at the interval the lines were completely obliterated. On resumption, G.M.C, looked as if they intended business, and a bad decision hy the referee robbed them of a goal. Dougal, the inside right, kicked the hall for goal, and Sethrang, running in, scared the goalkeeper, who tried to fist it out, but knocked it into the net, The referee was certainly at fault here, when he awarded a foul a- gainst Sethrang, some of the Guelph team admitting it was a good goal. Cregg made EE up for the bad Outdoors or indoors = whatever your task. Let WRIGLEYS re refresh -- 'our i publi i digestion, pee keep teeth clean, After Every Meal » Breaks when he scored a great Joa), libbing the ball over the heads of the defence into the met. It looked as if the Motors were going to bag a few goals, but again the decision of the referee robbed them of their chances. It was impossible to see any lines, but the referee comtinued with the game. The second goal of the game, scored by Guelph, should never have been allowed, as the outside right, glaringly pulled the ball down with his hand, but the referee paid no attention to this infringement, although appeals were made, but in vain, With the score at one each, Guelph seemed to concentrate on defence, and con- tinually kicked the ball out of touch of goal kicks. This did not meet with the approval of the fans, who followed for "play the game." G. M. C. certainly had no breaks, or they would have beaten Guelph, In the closing stages a strong blizzard was blowing across the fleld, and the goalkeeper didn't seem a bit at home. Bad weather and questionable de- cisions kept G. M. O. from winning their first league game. Rest for G.M.C. were the half backs, but Craig must learn to give his wing man more of the ball. Guelph were hest served by their hacks and right wing, who were always dan- gerous. BASEBALL RECORDS INTERNATIONAL LEAGUE Won Lost P.C.

Jackson met Upper of St. Catharines in his first encounter whom he "K.0'd"" in the second round, Upper was out for a full five minutes, Jackson drew a bye in the next draw, and met Ray. Ste- phenson in the semi-final, and although he had him almost out on his feet in the last two rounds could not administer the knock- out punch, Stephenson put up one of the gamest fights seen at the trials. In the final against Wilson of Windsor, Jackson knocked him out in the first round. A bright future is predicted for Jackson in the fight game, and it is thought that he will blaze a bright trail along the way to the champion- ship affairs at the Olympic con- test this summer, Earl Pickering, clever St. Ag- nes lad, won the flyweight class honors; Bobby Crothers, with his rapler thrusts and speed of foot, took the bantamweight division; curly-haired, aggressive Johnny Grant, of St. James, annexed the featherweight laurels; rugged Bill Putwain of §t. Agnes, was unbeat- en in the lightweight se; Ray Smillie, another St. Agnes color bearer, survived in the middle- weight section; *'Red"" Melville pride of St, Thomas, eliminated Koskey, in the light heavyweight final; and "Firpo"" Brown, of Cen- tral "Y,"" waded through the gor- fest bout of the tournament to win the heavy-weight tilt from the willing Jack Burns, of Windsor. "Firpo' Brown, the heavy- browed schoolmaster, who boxes under the banner of Central "Y," and Jack Burns, of Wind- sor, rushed at each other like a pair of tanks at the stroke of the first gong. They met in the cen- tre of the ring and the carnage commenced, Brown forced the fight to close quarters but though hoth men were bathed in a welter of blood the tally was mighty close at the end of the second round. In the final mix-up Brown forged ahead slightly, though hoth boxers were exhaust- ed and their punches were stead- ily losing power. In the last min- ute the referee called upon the men repeatedly to hreak but had they done so It is likely that they would have dropped to the can- vas, It was the most spectacular tilt of the tourney. Orothers and Glionna Bobbie Crothers, of Stratford and formerly of Toronto's East End leather pushing eolony, sur- vived in the bantamweight divi- sion by outpointing Bland of To- ronto in the semi-final and then being awarded the decision over Vinve Glionna of St. Agnes, in the final when the latter accidentally fouled him in the third round, Crothers was unable to coaotinue. He held a slim margin in points up to the time the bout was halt- ed and it is likely that hoth men will be given a chance to compete in the Dominion tests. Earl Pickering"s experience earned him the decision in the 112 pounds final over the rugged "Scotty" Ferguson of St, Catharines. The Garden City flyweight carried the fight to Pickering but the latter's flicking left and thudding right hooks to the body caught the eye of the judges. Bill Putwain, the sturdy St. Agnes lightweight, lelt-jabbed his way to the top when he easily out- pointed Sprott, of Varsity, in the semi-final, apd then disposed of Urbin Pare, of Windsor. in the final, Putwain's left found an easy target in Sprott's face in the semi-final, and 8 judicious admin- istration of a rugged right to the jaw had the red head in trouble on several occpsions. The St, Agnes lad adopted the same tac- tics against Pare in the final and steadily piled up points. John- ny Grant outpunched Eddie Judges in the featherweight final, when the latter fell down badly in the long range exchanges. Kos- key gave "Red" Melville of St. Thomas plenty to do, but the Western Ontario boy was well out in front at the end, as was Ray Smillie jn with Al Cohen, Results; 112-1b, Class Final -- Earl - Pickering, Agnes, obtained decision "Scotty" Ferguson, St, ines, St. over Cathar- 1184b, Class Semi-finals -- Vincent Glionna knocked out Johh Siecle, Wiad- sor, in third round.

A home run by Dale Alexander with three men on base in the seventh inning settled the issue beyond all doubt. It was Alexander's second rap of the four-base wind in as many days, the ball going on a line into the right field bleachers. The victory was the Leafs' first of the season, O'Hara's men having lost the first two games with the Jears, 6 to 0 and 15 to 9, "Rip" Collins, veteran right- hander from the Detroit Tigers pitched effective baseball for the Leafs. He was inclined to be wild, and passed seven batsmen, in addi- tion to hitting another, but tighten- ed up the pinches, and was given fine support by his team-mates. Jack Bentley, in the past a puz- zla to Toronto teams, was on. the firing line for the Bears, and he gave a fine hurling performance, striking out no less than seven Leafs, but his backing was weird all seven misplays hy the home team figuring in the scoring, Joe Rabbitt, Leafs' right fielder, again gave a clever all round dis- play, his batting, base-running and fielding being of high order, while Warren Cote, Mervin Jacobson and Billy Webb also were very much to the fore in a defensive way. But the real headlight of the game, outside of Alexander's cir- cujt drive, was provided by Fred Bedore, the Illinois semi-pro. with the Leafs. When Bucky Burke was asked to give way to pinch-hitter Lena Styles in the sixtii, Bedore went to second base, and played bang-up baseball in the field, while he hit safely both times at bat, Bedore may be kent at the key- stone sack, for Lurke has not shown very much to date. Eddie Phillips, new catcher from Detroit, and last season with Nash- ville, in the Southern Association, where he batted for 38% in 51 games, was sent in hy Manager O'Hara to catch Collins and his work was good, when the pitcher's wildness is taken tion. He allowed onn of the Tex- an's pitches to get by him, hut it was an excusable muff, and ne went hitless In five times at bat, Nowadays when you see a woman sewing on tiny clothes she may be making something for grandma, Council Bluffs Nonpareil, his middleweight final | J ---- Regent rr Sm SHOWING MONDAY and TUESDAY Only War as it is fought at the front and by the people who are left behind "The Enemy" has always captured the fans wherever shown Showing at Regular Prices 3 New Martin Now Playing Lon Chaney re Bp wee 6 " Shadows ADDED ATTRACTIONS COMEDY AND FOX NEWS . into considera. |.

CUBS 8 PITTSBURG 2 Chicago, April 22.--PFifty thou- sand fans, the largest crowd ever to witness a baseball game in Chi- cago, watched the Cubs win a 3 to 2 victory over Pittshurg in the op- ening game of their series today. Percy Jones' masterful pitching and Riggs Stephenson hitting were responsible for the victory. Jones held the Pirates to five hits, while Stephenson drove out three hits and scored the winning run in the eighth inning. His triple in the eighth inning was protested by the Pirates, how- ever, on the claim that ground Yules limited it to a double, Steph- Oshawa City « ana Goodyea me Not Compicred Oshawa City Football team met bad weather in their game at To- Tonto with Goodyear, the opening affair of the season, and it was finally called shortly after the first half, because of the heavy wind and snow, with Goodyears leading. Oshawa in the short time that they had the wind and Snow at their backs, scored two goals but not enough to overcome the early ledd acquired by the Goodyear outfit, The game will have to be play- ed again, it is thought. The city showed a strong line-up, and an ecouraging prospect for the year. The opinion was generally express- ed that they have a stronger line- up than last year. Two new full backs were played, in Rodgers and McDonough, and they payed well together, and the kicking was strong and timely. The half back line looked well, Muir at left half playing a stellar game throughout, and is a star both on attack and defence. Brown at centre half played his usual effective game, and kept plugging away until the whistle went. Preston, the recruit with the city at right half. was a con- stant threat, and made himself a pest to the opposing team with his clever checking. Ernie Dun- stall's play was a treat to watch, and this player who was with the city last year did the nicest drib- bling and passing on the field. His play made him a fixture at the wing position. Frank Sturch proved himself a fine running mate for Dunstall, and also did some exceptionally fine handling of the ball, Cook did not measure up to the others In speed, particularly in front of the goal, but when a little more pep is injected into his play will rank with the best. Herbert Cunliffe at inside left played a good game, and passed the ball without any delay or fuss, He and Hamilton combined well on all plays, and the latter play- ed the best game he has shown with the city. He also scored a goal, on one of the nicest plays of the game, beating three men cleanly for the counter. The city showed a fine game, and their coming contest next Saturday with Lancashire should be well Worth watching.

The Grads took an early lead, led at the first quarter, 10 to 4, were 17 to 9 at the half way mark and ha a 24 to 15 margin at the end of the third period. In the final frame, how= ever, the Easterners unleashing a burst of speed that had the Grads somewhat puzzled, narrowed the gap, and largely through fine sharpshoot= ing of Nora Gordon, put on a finish that had the big crowd of spectators on their feet and made the final count 29 to 27. NATIONALIST ARMY THREATENS PEKIN Shanghai, China, April 22.-- Wounded from the battlefields of Shantung Province are pouring into Tientsin and Pekin. The hospitals are glutted and every available medical man has been pressed into service. Various alarming rumors came from the front today, and among thenr were reports that Tsinan had fallen before the advance of the Nationalist forces under Feng Yu- hsiang, formerly known as the Christian General. This report, however, was regarded as prema- ture, although it reached here from both Tientsin and Tsingtao foreign sources. The Tsingtao despatches stated that there have heen serious defec- tions among the Northern troops massed on the Chihli-Shantung bor- der at Tehchow for the defence of Tientsin. Many of these troops were said to be deserting to the Nation- alist armies. -- Listen!
