. ae BIGHI THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1928 OSHAWA 0.A.L.A. SENIORS PLAY BUFFALO IN CHALLENGE CUP GAME 0.A.L.A- "World Series" Begins Saturday in Brampton When Locals Meet Buffalo Intermediate Champs Buffalo Falls Roofing Team Smart Roohnt Oshawa First Game in Brampton Here Next Wednesday Oshawa glorious year in lacrosse has not Th The first game of this home and homa series will be played on Satur- day in Brampton, the scene of Osh- awa's latest victory, which gave them the senior amateur champion- ship of Ontario If Oshawa defeats Bulfato, the "Falls Roofing" team, in this oncoming series, they will be ac- claimed the amateu: lacrosse cham- pions of Ontario in addition to being esented with a three foot silver hy which is given yearly to the team winning this special series which is usually au annual event, Homeless Champions The Buffalo team is known as the "homeless champions," They are something of an unknown quantity throughout Ontario since they have only been in the limelight since the first of last month when they entered under .he O.A.L.A, banner into the Intermediate championship play- downs with their first game being against Bradford. They defeated the Bradford dozen by a two goal margin on their home lot and then repeated the drubbing by a similar margin in the return game in Buffalo, In their search for new fields to conquer, the Buffalo men then ran up against Hamilton's one and only in- termediate contingent and although the Ambitious City representatives were considered "class," the visitors from across the border took them in- to camp in three straight fixtures, This gave Buffalo their ticket into the intermediate championship finals with Wallaceburg, which, by the way, happens to be "Shep" Shepley's home town, Buffalo in Finals The first game of the series with Wallaceburg was played in Fergus, this ardent lacrosse centre being us- ed by Buffalo as their home town, just as they are using Brampton for their home town in the series with Oshawa, The game in Fergus was about as lively as any championship struggle could. be, and ended with Buffalo just barely managing to nose the Border City team out by two goals, The return game up in Wal- laceburg was played the same day Oshawa played Brampton up in Brampton, and two games for excite- ment were never more alike, If anything, excitement ran high- er up in Wallaceburg, and with two minutes to play, the crowd, following a referee's decision against one of the home town players, broke through ali restraint and overran the field. Bui- falo being in the lead by a slight margin at the time and the referee being unable to get the crowd back off the field, the game was called and awarded, rightfully, to Buffalo. Thus this team earns the right to meet Oshawa for the Association champ- ionship of the province, Former Canadians The entire team is comprised of former Canadians who have drifted across the border in search of work but who have by no means forgotten how to handle a lacrosse stick, They have shown this aptitude in every game they have played this year and there is no doubt whatever that they will give Oshawa a terrific piece of opposition in both the game in Brampton Saturday and here next Wednesday. Of the Oshawa team, little need be said of their right to represent the senior body of the O.A.L.A, in this series, They won the distinction be- yond a doubt in Brampton last Sat- urday and will now go into this final contest the favourites hut however, by a small margin. Buffalo have earned too much respect in all their games, to be underestimated, They play dangerous lacrosse and have een rated many times as a senior Which is in Some Circles-- With Return Game aggregation rather than an Interme- diate, . Fivst Game in Brampton * Another large crowd should follow the team to Brampton next Satur- day while one of the largest crowds to 'ever cheer a lacrosse team should be on hand for the return game here next Wednesday, The final games of a successful season should receive unlimited support, and we know we are safe in saying, the Oshawa team will be amply looked after. Cox Will Play With Tigers in Ottawa Saturday Hamilton, Oct. 10.--When Tig- ers invade Ottawa on Saturday for what may prove to be the crucial game of the "Big Four," it is al- most a certainty that Ernie Cox will be among those in Bengal un- iforms that will line up against the Senators, In the game at Toron- to last week Cox suffered an an- kle injury, and on Monday and Tuesday nights he was unable to join the team at practice. The club trainers went to work on the injured member both evenings, but without results and last night Ernie was taken to the McGregor. Mowbray elinie, and Dr, "Bill Carrick took a picture of the ank- le. Tiger officials awaited the outcome of the photograph with fear, but today Dr Carrick issued the welcome information that Cox was suffering from nothing but a slight sprain and proper massaging would have him as fit as a fiddle for Saturday in Ottaws, Tigers got down to real hard work tonight in preparation for the Ottawa invasion, and the nine. ty-minute workout indulged in was noe of the best of the year, Brush- ing up on some of the signals used against Argos last week, and the installation of new plays kept the athletes busy and they will have no excuses to offer if Tubman and Company step home in front, Last Saturday the Bengals relied en- tirely on line plays to down the Double Blue, hut this week the In- tention is to open up the play and unless Starr and other Ottawa outside wings are better than us- ual, end runs should predominate. NORTH BAY WITHOUT ARENA THIS YEAR North Bay, Oct, 10.--North Bay is to be without a covered hockey rink this winter, John Blanchet, a member of the syndicate which proposed to build a modern arena, has announced that the project is off for this year. Delay in closing the deal for the site on which the rink was to he nuilt precluded all possibility of getting the mater- ial for the structure completed in time for this winter, Whether North Bay will operate a team in the junior N.O.H.A, this year is a question, although some of the eexcutive are in favor of it, rink or no rink, BOSTON MAN MARRIES "MERMAID" OF CRUISE Liverpool, Oct, 11.--Franecis Lee Higginson, Jr,, of Boston, and Miss Dorothy Lucas, daughter of a mar- ine superintendent of the Furness- Withy Line, were married at St, Nicholas' Church in Blundell Sands, near Liverpool. The bridegroom who is the scion of a Boston fam- fly and financially prominent, met Miss Lucas during a world cruise on the steamship Franconia aboard which she was swimming instrue- tor and the romance was revealed only a week ago.

Ponton, Frank Commins and the rest of the battle-scarred stars who have been in most of the four leagie-winning O.R.F.U, ecam- paigns and who took part in the drive to the Dominion championship last year, will start another march title wards on Saturday, when they take on Camp Borden at Oakwood Stad- ium. At least they will try to start it, and, despite the strong and scrap py opposition that they are sure to get from the Airmen, they are fav- a win, The Balmy Beach line-up that will start the 1928 season will include Robertson, Smith; and Billings at halfs; Ponton, quarter; Commins, snap; Reeve, flying wing; Snider and Keith, outsides; Hamlin and Crozier, middles; Amer and Crowhurst, ih- sides. For relief 'work they have such linemen as McNichol, Trimble, Anderson, Griffen, Ogden, and Jack Smith, Saylor is the sub snap. Char- ney, who is at present on the in- well are relief outsides, Northam can fill in at quarter, while John- son, Lewis and McKenzie are sub- stitute half-backs, That is a somewhat different line- up than the one that started toward the Dominion title in 1927. The bril- liant Moore-Foster-Cawkell halfline is gone, while "Scotty" Metcalfe and Menzines, outside wings of ability, and Wright and Hendry, two power- ful inside wings, are likewise mis- sing, Quite a loss for one year, although Metealfe and Menzies might be out later if the old team needs them, The New Material To offset the bumps the Beaches have added "Red" Foster, a fine half of the fighting type, who unfortun- ately will not be ready for another week owing to an injured leg, anfl from their recruits, Moe Charney, a sensational outside; Northam, who will undoubtedly be a comer, and McKenzie and Lewis, two promising and steady young halfbacks. Some of the others might also develop as the season goes on, Trustee Named For Heavyweight Boxing Trophy New York, Oct, 10.--Coincident with the request of the British Board of Boxing Control that Phil Scott, British boxing champion, he considered among the contenders a hoard of trustees consisting of five leading men of affairs has been named to take control of the Tun- ney-Mudoon trophy, emblemtalc of the world's heavyweight champion- ship Serving on the hoard will be Bernard ¥. Gimbel, president of Gimbel Bros. Inc.; John McE, Bow- man, president of teh Bowman- Biltmore Hotels Corp.; Albert Bay- ard Swope, executive editor of the New York World; Jeremiah T. Mahoney, justice of the New York State Supreme Court, and George L. (Tex) Rickard. The discovery of a "world" champion will be the cnief Interest of the hoard, according to Muldon, who said "the board will be vest- ed with absolute control of the trophy, It will decide wh'se name will be inscribed as Tunney's successor, hut it can be relied on to make no decision until some contender has established his right to the title beyond question," Provision is to be made for the inscription of 32 names, nine of them of former champions, on the trophy. The first will be that of John L. Sullivan, then will follow Jim Corbett, Bob Fitzsimmons, Jim Jeffries, Tommy Burns, Jack Johnson, Jess Willard, Jack Demp- sey and Tunney. The name of Marvin Hart, to whom Jeffries "awarded" the title after his retirement in 5, will be omitted since Hart never re- ceived general recognition as heavy weight king. SHOWERS ON FRIDAY The Weatherman says south and southwest winds will prevail today and it will be fair tonight and most of Friday, with the probability of showers tomorrow night. Cooler weather has set in over the west- ern provinces and snow flurries have occurred in Manjtoba.

Another large following should go to Brampton again this Saturday although there will be a local engagement which will pull rather strongly this time. Meaning, of course, the Intermediate rughy opening, The Buffalo team, although in United States, like the Curtiss Aero plane team last year, gets into the O.A.L.A, because the team ia entirely comprised of Canadians who have crossed the border in search of work, Still desiring to be associated with Canadian lacrosse, they applied for and were granted, permission to enter the 0.A.L.A, Intermediate series. We received a picture of the team today and it will appear on this page as soon as it can be made into the proper form, There are several Indians on the team and although by weight they don't seem as heafty as Oshawa, they nevertheless look like a husky ag- gregation, They are credited with being exceptionally fast but even at that, we doubt if any of them will make Shepley, Kelley, Degray and Toots White inhale too much of their dust, Reg Spencer and Bob Stephenson are no mean steppers either, once they get from second into high, A local boy, Eric Armitage, last year at Oshawa Collegiate, is at present being congratulated on his recent success at the York Marathon modified races where he finished fifteenth and was presented with a nice silver cup, !

Ruth, beaming as his 225 pounds towered above the Goyernor, was the first to greet the Presidential candi- date, "Congratulations on those hits," said Goy. Smith, as he grasped the big fellow's hand, while holding col- Jar and tie in his left. "If I could count on as many votes as you have kids yelling for you, I'd be sure I'm going to be elected," con- tinued the Governor. "You've got mine, sponded Ruth. Goy.

Ruppert and Manager Hug- anyway, re- gins, congratulating them hoth and introducing them to Mrs. Smith, Yankees Receive Jubilant on Return Home + {as well as other members of the party that was preparing to leave shortly afterward on the candidate's southern trip, Gov. Smith finished putting on his collar and tying his tie, chatting meanwhile with Ruth, The Babe "Say, did you hear about the place that wouldn't let the baseball returns on the world's series be announced on Sunday?" the Governor asked Ruth, The Babe looked amazed and the Governor added: "Well, I'd like to see that place, It must be a hot one." Gov, Smith posed with Ruth and other players for the photographers, The home-town reception to the Yankees was the noisiest they have ever received in any of their triumph- al returns to the city from the base- ball wars. The team that even most of the experts here had expected to be defeated had come back as con- quering heroes. Ruth and Lou Gehrig, as was the case all along the route of the trip back from the Missouri City, were singled out for particular ovations. At the Station "Oh, you Babe!" shouted the crowd at the station, pushing forward to get through a special cordon of po- lice and grasp Ruth's hand as he was hustled out the corridor and into the otel. , In addition to thousands in the sta- tion, others crowded the lobby of the Biltmore Hotel, even though they were only able to get a fleeting glimpse of the Bambino or his mates. No conquering here in sport ever was accorded more noisy or sustained acclaim than was "Babe" Ruth today as the special train bearing the Yan- kees sped in triumphant style from the conquest of St. Louis, PUNTS and TACKLES By the Dopester And so it shall come to pass, that vast throngs shall father at the meeting place, Alexandra Park, to see the hosts of General Motors do battle with the hosts of Niagara Falls. * * = And verily, there shall be many bumps received and many bumps given ere the setting of the sun.

The diagram below is the usual way in which the two teams line up in the regular course of the play. They line up slightly differently when one side kicks off to open the game, or to re- sume play after a scbre of three points or more has been made, Side "A" has the ball, "B" is defending.
