~ Smoothly, Pitchers Good Manager and Coach Have Boys Working Out Every Night -- Infield Looks Good While the Catchers Are Perfecting Their Peg- ging Around the Bags This afternoon at Alexandra Park, the General Motors Senior Baseball Club are being put through their paces by Manager Walt Schultz and Coach Stan Bur- goyne, and the candidates are sure- ly in for a swell afternoon's gruel- ling. All hands are called to be on deck by the two chief high Slave Drivers, who threaten trouble for any absentees from practices from now on. The boys had a light drill last night and were going along in good style, and the infielders ap- pear to be getting around to the point where the fans are able to pick out the wheat from the chaff. Some of the boys have reached an advanced stage in their work and are just about ready for the opener here on May 24th. They look pretty smart. The outfielders are ball-hawking at a great clip and are getting plenty of real work in that line, Rochester All Stars while the receiving squad is coming along in fine style and are doing some nice jagging to the bags. It looks like a real job yet before the first string position is picked by the management. The hurling staff is led by the one and only "Duke" Dainty, and is showing real promise. "Chuck" Matthews is showing a remarkable turn ol speed, while Shaw and Bill Fair are showing plenly and are pretty near arriving time. The "Duke" is quietly working himself into condition, and you can depend on it that he will be ready to take his turn in the box when the time comes. He has plenty of real good hurling assistance on hand this year, The hard ball diamond has been completely upholstered at last, the Club having taken the matter in hand and put the thing through 'at their own expense. The infield right now is in the best shape it has been in for years and is a real play- ing surface. The men who did the work certainly did it right. No more excuses for missing the soft ones, any more and no more alibis The squad will practice Monday, | Tuesday and Wednesday nights next week in order to be right at the peak for their tussle with Peterboro on the holiday afternoon, Collegiate Grounds THURSDAY, MAY 24, AT 3 P.M.

LIMITED PRODUCT OF GENERAL MOTORS OF CANADA, i gr er THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, SATURDAY, MAY 19, 1928 Gains Defeats Seitert by a Great Margin Toronto, May 19--After Larry Gains of Toronto, heavyweight cham- pion of Canada, had outclassed "Sandy" Seifert of Pittsburg for four rounds and part of the fifth in the main 'bout the Shamrock A.C. at the Arena Gardens last evening, Referee Lou Marsh adopted the wis- est possible course and declared the Canadian the winner. Seifert made such a poor showing that there was no dissenting voice from the fans when the referee waived him to his corner and raised Gains's arm in victory. Throughout the bout, or what there was of it, Seifert failed to land solidly on the Canadian champion. Gains, waging an ressive battle, tried hard to make it a contest, but found it hard to land solidly on the SPORT SNAPSHO1S ' There will be plenty of action at Alexandra Park this afternoon in the hne of sporting attractions. Two soitball games, a soccer match and possibly an exhibition game between two teams selected from the Central League prospects.

Just what the opening ceremonies will consist of makes ne difference as long as it doesn't rain. ee clownish Seifert. The boxer from Pittsburg would not lead, but he had an awkward defensive style, which left Gains unable to land a really damdging blow, The only thing about Seifert's work worth praising was some very elusive head-weaving. That is all very fine in its place, but it certainly does mot win boxing bouts , Ready for the Best Seifert has a reasonably good re- putation in the United States, where i he has beaten some of the more or- dinary heavyweights, He defeated Gains here as. an amateur. All this | goes to prove very conclusively the vast improvement in Gains, None but the .best, it appears, will be able to extend the Canadian champion. He outclasses the second-raters, and must be seriously considered as a real heavyweight prospect, Among the mediocre heavyweights Seifert has scored 'quite a number of knockouts, yet it appeared he would not have hit Gains in ten rounds. No description of what there was of the bout is required. It was all Gains, without, however, thg Toronto {boy doing a great deal 3 damage. | Gains showed speed and aggressive- ness to a greater degree than ever before . The bout was a fiasco, so utterly did he outclass his opponent, bat it should give Matchmaker Play- fair Brown of the Shamrock A.C. plenty of encouragement in his efforts fo get Jack Sharkey here to box Gains, Gains weighed 19214 pounds, | Scifert 18434. Coming here hilled as "the Pitts- burg Panther," Seifert's showing made "the Pittsburg Panter" a more appropriate title. Whoever called him "a second Harry Greh" had a decided sense of humor. The blond from the Smoky City was as unlike Greb in action as in appearance. The show, which was attended by cnly a small crowd as compared with those of the past few months, was ndt up to the standard sect by the Shamrock Club. The local match- maker has been doing well lately, and a card below the ordinary is the more noticeable on that accoyt. Far outstanding in a set of five houts was that which had been | regarded as the poorest match on the program. When Matchmaker Brown decided to listen to "Red" Bragan, and match him with Doug Lewis, the experts began to feel sorry for Bragan. It' proved unneces- sary, however, for Bragan, carrying the hout to Lewis, earned the deci- sion in a sensational contest. Bragan tore into Lewis from the | start of the bout and maintained a pace which gave Lewis little chance to set himself for the delivery of a solid punch. i rounds appeared to be making the | mistake of under-rating his opponent. Ie gave the impression of heing in | there waiting for a chance to deliver a left-hand knockout punch. As a result Bragan won the first two rounds. Lewis drove Bragan back several times in the third round and won this session, failing, though, to take any of the spirit of battle out of the sorrel-topped welterweight. Bra- gan came back with his two-handed attack to win the fourth, Lewis was down in the fifth, a right-hand punch catching him off balance, The round was Bragan's by a small mar- gin, with the sixth aobut even. The most impressive work of Bra- gan's good effort was the snappy manner in which he counter-punched with his right hand. He avoided many of Lewis's lefts to counter with his rights. He did not hurt Lewis, but he piled up points, Lewis weighed 149 pounds, Bragan 148, Graham Beats Mitchell : The semi-final another six rounder, found Cliff Graham in a winning mood. The former Olympic amateur clearly earned the decision over Tom- my Mitchell, Toronto lightweight. After an even first two rounds, Gra- ham opened up with a heavy attack which weakened Motchell. The latter plucky as ever, made it a battle, but did not win one of the last four rounds . Short right uppercuts and hooks found their mark frequently, while a straight left jab occaisonally varied this attack to stop a Mitchell rush. The loser finished fairly strongly, but not enough so to win the Jast round. Graham, at 135 pounds, was outweighed by three] pounds, of Buffalo, 13834, knockout in the fifth round when Referee Sinclair stopped the bout. Wade was in no condition to con- tinue. The official had offered to stop the bout at the end of the third | round, an offer which Wade was foolish enough to decline. : In the opening bout Jimmy Val-! pole of Buffalo, 126, won from Elmer Watt of Toronto, 123. Watt made a better showing in the last two rounds of their six-round bout than in the first four. . Willie Morrissey, manager. of Steve Rocco, continued his good work as a second, being in the corner from which Newton and Bragan did their boxing.

Rochester twice came from be- hind to take the lead but the can- nonading of such swatters as Alex- ander, Sheedy, Bedore and Phil- lips was not to be denied. Alexander contributed a single, to send home 'two tallies in the first inning, he tripled in the sixth and he lifted a floater of Keen's over the left field wall for a home run in the eighth with Sheedy on first In the ninth he filled out on right field terrace to Southworth, a long wallop but in dead right field. Johnny . PrudhOmme, former Rochester hurer, under Manager George Stallings, found the going rather rocky for the full route but staggered through under the able assistance of the hit-smiths of the Leafs and the lack of a ringing blow on more than one occasion in the Red Wing bats. He struck out but two men and he walked five, while giving elev- en base hits, the tire list he- ing grouped in the first seven In- nings for five 'runs. Rochestar had twelve men left on the sacks in the first seven innings, going ALBERTA RAILWAY DEAL DECISION 1S EXPECTED 'Edmonton, Ita., May 18.--An of- ficial answer by the Alberta Gov- ernfent as to whether or not it will accept the joint offer of the Canadian National and Canadian Pacific Railways for the Peace River Lines, will be determined within the next few days, it is an- nounced by Premier Brownlee, Action in this direction has been made possible by the receipt of a telegram from Sir Henry Thorn- ton to the effect that the Canadi- an National Railways will not make any further offer.
