SPOR1 SNAPSHO1S Smokers and entertainments are opening "nights" with the baseball and lacrosse euthusiasts in Oshawa. Tonight the General Motors Cen- tral Ontario League team are getting the players together with a smok- er at the General Motors Convention Hall, and a week from tonight the Lacrosse Club holds sway, although the place of the reli not been definitely decided, it will probably be held at the Convention Hall. With the weather more propitious, and the season ever advanc- ing closer to the time oi opening games, both the lacrosse and base- |] ball teams will soon have to get down to practice. The prospects in both senior leagues look promising, and Oshawa would look good in No. 1 position. in the Central Ontario League and in the senior series of the O.A.L.A. Many stars have migrated to Oshawa in the past year in both sports and will strengthen the teams considerably, Lou Marsh paid a special compliment to Red Spencer, the fine lacrosse player who is now with Oshawa, and also said that because of the changes, the race would be a wide open one. ~~ Jack Dempsey scored a technical K.O. over Jack Kearns his for- mer manager in the latter's suit claiming a share of monies acquired by Jack in recent fights, saying that his contract with Dempsey had been broken, The purse that Kearns was claming was, when the trial began, about a quarter of a miilion dollars, had vanished to comparatively no- thing when Judge Knox finally awarded the decision to Dempsey. THE GUY WITH THE SOCK Long stories vi science whick clutter the pages Of dailies and weeklies devoted to sport, Lay stress on importance in this of all ages Of crait, bram and skill as the "athacte's" iorte ; How technique is big and gray matter bigger, Flow brains beat gut brawn by a long city block ; But something we've never been able to figure Is why the fans fall for the guy with the sock Gene Tunney is shifty and handsome and elever At sidestepping punches the enemy throws: Hc juggles with Shakespeare and never, no never, Will split an' infinitive--say "dese" or "dose." His footwork is smooth as the wrist of a kitten, His English 1s highbrow--yea bo! he can talk; But somehow the crowd has never been smitten On him like they would on the guy with the sock, | Jack Dempsey's the boy to pull million buck purses That prize fighters need for their three "squares" a day, For there's always a chance that he'll fill up the hearses-- And when he KO's them it's K.O.'d they stay. The Mauler's i polished as some folks would like him, He learned all his'stuff in the school of hard knocks ; But look how the customers turn out to sight him-- You'll agree that they fall for the guy with the sock, Babe Ruth was a pitcher who flung many shut-outs, His curve ball and fast one showed scandalous skill; A bundle of pop-ups and goose-eggs and strike-outs Marked -all the games when he toiled on the hill. But the crowd never tumbled or broke its neck trying Io see the big Babe strike them out by the flock; But wow! as a hitter he set them all crying "We'll all of us fall for the guy with the sock." So don't let them tell you that this is the era When science and skill are aione at the op. The time w hen the slugger or bruiser are near to A starvation future, a terrible flop, "Color," they call 'it, this box-office winner, This thing that attracts the crowds in a flock, But don't let them kid you; we'll het you the dinner You'll admit that you fall for the guy with the sock. -- Brian Delvin, in the Montreal Star.

Verdict for D y On the motion of Arthur F, Dris- coll, attorney for Dempsey, Judge Knox promptly directed the jury to | render a verdict for the defendant | on four of the five causes of action in Kearns' suit. The first cause of action, relating to a match between Dempsey and Harry Wills which never took place, was ruled out by the court two days ago. Causes 2, 3 and 4 represented moneys Kearns alleged were due him from Demp- sey's share of the proceeds of the former champion's losing battle with Gene Tunney in 1926, The fifth cause embodied Kearns' demand for a share in the proceeds of an exhi- bition tour Dempsey made in 1924 and 1925, The judge had ruled that the two questions placed before the jury were the only ones of fact in the case and the remainder were of law and for him to decide.

Sager, head of Kearns legal array, announced an appeal would be taken to a higher court on the grounds that the jury had re- cognized the validity Kearns' three-pear contract with Dempsey. sods Be Mi Mong 1 pe in p op- ped immediately, he said.
