OSHAWA, ONTARIO, SATURDAY, JUNE 17, 1922 PAGE FIVE Sporting World New ACobourg Paper Predicts Ruin Of C.0O.B.L. Severely Criticises Sub-Committee Which Considered Protest Against Oshawa In voicing the sentiments of the Cobourg Baseball Club, the Sentinel- Star of that town is following in the footsteps of some other newspapers around the circuit. The Star criti- cizes the sub-committee of the Cen- tral League for their decision in the protest against Oshawa, They do not comment on their own imported ball players, wishing to direct at- tention to another club which Is not guilty of any infractions of the league rules, Cobourg entered the protest to protect its name as good sports and | now to again uphold its reputation it is taking a slap at the sub-com- mitte, despite the fact that Mr. A, C¢. Kimmell, of Cobourg, is on that committee and was one of the three] who were entitled to a vote. Would it not look a little better for the Ferry Town organization to accept the ruling given and try and win a championship on the field? The Star predicts ruin' for the Central League not later than this year and we might add that the Co- bourg Baseball Club are doing more than their share to bring about such an event if it occurs, If Cobourg's ball players decided gsuddenTy to go home the club would be practically without a team, which is not the case in Oshawa, been pointing with sarcasm at the Oshawa Club but when it is consid- ered an Oshawa player, three King- ston men and one from Garden Hill figure on their line-up, it is poor pol- jcy to make such references to an- other club. The Cohourg Stars' opinion of the Cohourg-Oshawa protest is given as follows: "At a meeting of the sub-commit- tee of the Central Ontario Amateur Baseball League held in Port Hope on Monday, the protest of the Co- bourg Club against the Oshawa Club was disallowed. Cobourg protested on the ground that Catcher Johnny Evans and Third Baseman Twigg ot Oshawa, former residents of King- ston, Were not eligible under the resi- dence rule. Both men were in Osh- awa for one day on May 1st, but re-| turned to Kingston, and did not go back to Oshawa until May 24. Up to May 23 Evans was a student at Queen's, while Twigg was a guard at Kingston penitentiary up to May 17. While the Oshawa club admit- ted this the protest was disallowed. This wilful disregard of rules by Oshawa promises to break up the Central League, as other clubs now declare they will bring in players who are not now residents of tows in this league. At the meeting Osh- awa stated they would investigate other clubs in the league if Co- bourg's protest was allowed, as it is known that certain players did not take up residence in the places in which they are playing until after May 15. If some clubs are to be al- lowed' to go ahead with this disre- gard of rules, especially after the whole executive of the league gave a ruling in Oshawa's case, it is time the rest of the teams of the league were put on the same basis, and the league let run wide open, If this comes to pass, this will be she last vear of existence of the Central On- tario League, and history has a pe- culiar fallacy of repeating itself." "Saved My Little Girl!" Mother tells how her little Ethel's life was saved. That is what one woman wrote us re- cently, and then she goes on to say :-- "Ethel, who is just past eight, caught a bad cold last August. The child isof a highly strung, nervous temperament and could not be kept quiet in bed. We tried everything we could think of to cure her cough. But, the cough became worse aud from a rosy, healthy, sturdy girl she became pale and thin. Nothing we did seewme to stop the ©O and by this time regular spasms ough nd had developed. ese coughing spells left the child weak and completely tired out. 1 believe that in a short time the cough would have reached the child's lungs. After trying everything I could think of, I saw an advertisement for Carnol, saying that this preparation would build one up. I a bottle from the druggist and tore it was half finished my hate gir) had almost completely shaken off cou Her cheeks began to get back their old colour. She started to put on flesh again and would run and play all day without being tired. Today, after having taken two bottles of Carnoi, she is looking and feeling betler than she has ever fat in her life." Carnal is sold by your druggist and if you can conscientiously say, after you have tried it, that it hasn't done you any good. return the empty bottle anc he will refund your money. SHILOH STOPS THAT COUGH Port Hope has also | Sport Comment Pickering Football team visited Claremont Thursday evening to play an Oshawa and District League match with last year's champions. Claremont were declared victors, scoring the winning goal during the last two minutes of the game, The score at half time was 1-0 in favor of Claremont, C. A, Mason was in charge of the whistle, giving good satisfaction to both teams, Belleville are here this afternoon for the return Central League fixture of the first half of the schedule and it is unlikely that Willlams, their star southpaw will be able to do th pitching.

Game Played | With Lindsay Regul.r Umpires Did Not Appear --Solomon's Men Dispute De- cision of Acting Official Peterboro have protested Wednes- day's game against the Greybirds in Lindsay, claiming to have ben rob- bed of a run to which they were en- titled. The regular umpires did not show up and an agreement was made | for two other officials. The Exami- | ner, in explaining the matter, has the following to say: | "The Petes combed Ohlette's of- ferings for two triples, a double and | two singles in the first innings of | yesterday's Central League game at Lindsay, scoring four runs, and| then proceeded to hand the game back to the Greybirds by a weird ex- hibition of fielding, in which they amassed nine juicy errors. The final | score was 6 to 5, Lindsay winning in the ninth. It was a ragged, scrap- py demonstration of baseball, that included a fight and that wound up with the Petes playing under pro- test. The Central League sub-com- mittee will have to settle the argu- ment, for the Petes are entering a protest as a result of a decision by Umpire Anderson of Lindsay in the ninth innings which cut the Svlomon gang out of a run that would have put them out in front. | "Through some mistake on the part of the Central League, no offi- cial umpire put in an appearance, but to avoid disappointing the crowd the Petes agreed to start the game | with James W. Anderson, of Lind- say, behind the bat and Clare Stew- art of Peterboro, on the bases until the regular ump. arrived. He failed to show up, however, and the game finished in charge of the two volun- teer arbitrators. The result was what might have been expected, constant wrangling and "crabbing." | Mr. Anderson's work on balls and | strikes was decidedly shaky, but he | got along without serious trouble | | until the ninth, when the play arose | that resulted in a protest from the | Petes. In the Petes' half of that in-| nings Collins was on second when Dugan rolled one to Broumscombe, the Lindsay short who, in hurrying | a throw to first, hit Base Umpire | | Stewart with the ball, Collins scor-| |ing and Dugan reaching first safely. [The counter would have pw} the | Petes in front, but Umpire Anderson, despite the prolonged argument of | the Petes, ruled that Collins must go | | back to third. The side was subse-| | quently retired with him still at that | | station, so that the decision cost a] | much needed run. | | "Umpire Anderson was unmistak- | | ably wrong im his ruling. The rule | covering the play is clear and dis-! | tinct. Here it is: (Section 7, Rule |54) "If a thrown or pitched ball | strike the person or clothing of an | umpire, the ball shall be considered {in play, and the base-runmer or run- | ners shall be entitled to all the bases | they can make | James W. Anderson, the umpire- | in-chief for the game has written Mr. | Parsons, president of the League, as | follows: Lindsay, June 15, 1922 Mr. E. Parsons, President C.O.BL., Oshawa: Dear Sir.--On June 14th, the of- ficial umpire for the Lindsay-Peter- boro game not being on hand, I was asked by the mangement of the Lind- say-Peterboro clubs to act as am- pire on balls and strikes, a Peter- | boro man going on the bases. | In the first half of the cighth in- | nings Peterboro had a man on second base with two men out, the batter {drove a liner to the Lindsay short | stop, who handled the ball in per- fect shape, and made what looked like a perfect throw to first base, which I should judge would have caught the runner by sen feet. The base umpire, whe was standing be- oo 'Brand of Ball Not As Fast As Played In 1921 More Large Scores Recorded-- Pitchers Are Not Getting Al Support Oshawa is picked to win the Cen- tral League attraction at Alexandra Park this afternoon, the Grand Trunks, of Belleville, forming the in- vading party, The Motor Town needs a victory very badly today as, should Cohourg grab the long end of the score with Lindsay, a loss for the locals would allow Cobourg to step out in front, Wins for Lindsay and Belleville would place Bert Booth's clan and the Greybirds on an equal footing at the head of the proces: sion, Almost all of the first division clubs have heen handicapped owing to having only one reliable twirler except in Oshawa's case and possibly Cobourg's, The latter club have as pitchers Derry and Piper. Piper turned in a brilliant game on Wed- nesday and he may now be able to take a regular turn in the box, Lindsay, Peterboro and Belleville have practically no one to fall hack upon and it looks as though the tailend teams may cause a whole lot of trouble before the race is over, In looking over the scores record- ed in games played so far this seu- son, with one or two exceptions, it is easy to see that none of the teams are playing the class of ball shown in 1921, Oshawa has figured in four games this year in which the score has run into double figures and in three of the games they have scor ed seven runs in one innings. The hig score in Belleville Wednesday was a new feature in the Central League, The Quinte men have al- ways trimmed Oshawa in Belleville but never has the score heen more than 3-0, In many instances this year the pitchers cannot he blamed for their team being defeated. Most of the teams have heen guilty of er- ratic fielding and have tossed games away when victory seemed certain However, the second half of the schedule will probably furnish some sensational baseball and some new records, The race for the first half could hardly be closer than it is at the present time and another two weeks will just about decide who the final ists will be. Oshawa have several hard games ahead of them, one this afternoon with the Trunks, Lindsay next Wednesday and Peterboro a week from today. Loctal fans are anxious to see the highly-touted A) Heckman perform for the Petes and they hope that he will be given a proper reception when he arrives.

In the dispute which followed 1 ordered the runner to third base and let the batter remain on first base. I honestly think I should have cali- ed the batter out, as, if the ball had not been interfered with he would have been out. The Peterboro team continued the game from that point under protest, the Lindsay team winning out 6--5. Yours truly, J.

Last evening Oriental Tex- tile were slated to meet Cedar Dale but in the second innings rain stop- ped the proceedings and a replay will he necessary. The score was 5--2 in favor of Cedar Dale and Johnny Claus, who was pitching for Cedar Dale, was going strong. Donnelly, who started for the textiles, was hit hard, six safeties being collected off his delivery hy the Cedar Dale hatters, The game promised to he one of the best staged so far this season and the small crowd of fans were anticipating a fine evening's enter- tainment. Claus had his offerings hreaking nicely and it is quite likely that he will be used frequently from now on, At times Donnelly was good but his control was poor, Claus got himself into a hole in the first frame when he hit two batters and allowed two hits but only one run resulted. The next game will be played on Monday night. Cobourg Case . Based on Gossip The Port Hope Guide has the fol- lowing to say regarding Cobourg's protest against Oshawa:--The Scotch verdict "not proven" is very applicable for the decision in yesterday's pro- tests of Cobourg against the Oshawa | baseball club, Cobourg submitted a couple of pages of typewritten evid- | ence but it was all hearsay, none of their charges being substantial by af- fidavits. On the other hand Oshawa produced afidavits that Evans and Twigg were residents of Oshawa and had been employed in the factories there prior to May 15th, It was ad- mitted by the Oshawa Club that Ev- ans had returned to Queen's Univer- sity, Kingston, to write on his exam- inations after May 16 but the club contended that he had established his residence in Oshawa prior to the date under the residence rule of the Cen- tral Ontario League, The Committee decided that the on- us of proof was on the Cobourg Club and as this was not produced the pro- test was not allowed. The members of the Committee were all present, Messrs. 8..Lockington, Port Hope, A. C. Kimmell, Cobourg, and F. D. Craig, Peterboro. Plan Rotary Field Day at Cobourg At the luncheon last week of the Cobourg Rotary Club a suggestion was made by Rotarian Billy Doyle, of | Belleville, that a Rotary field day be held in Cobourg on Wednesday, July 26, when the 26 clubs of the 4th Rot- will be invited here. In Ontario there are 7 clubs in this dis- trict, and the clubs in proximity to Rochester are expected to come over on the ferry. A splendid explanatory talk on the Genoa conference was given at the luncheon by Rotarian Leon Fraser, secretary of the Peter- boro Chamber of Commerce. Referee Explains Claremont Incident Gporting Editor, The Reformer: Dear Sir:--Re the article copied from the Pickering News in respect to the Ontario Cup game, which was | played at Claremont, against the 34th Regiment, and won by the latter 1 goal to 0, might I, in the interests of football, put before you the fol "Nugget " The --it makes white shoes WHITE DRESSINC PT -- v THs YEAR, Music Exhibition is divided into two classes, will be awarded tothe BAND CONTEST at the Toronto Exhibition Day at the Canadian National Thursday, August 31st.

The hind the pitcher, ran towards first lowing facts: vn This is my 32nd season in organ- fzed football, I am a member of the Toronto and District Association and a registered referee with the Ontario Football Association. I do not ob- ject to any person commenting upon my ability as a referee, but I cer- tainly do object to my honor being doubted, the first time anyone has ever doubted it in football matters throughout my career, Besides this, the facts as laid down in the Pickering News were false from start to finish. In tht first place 1 did not spend the day in Osfiawa with the Oshawa team. I could not go to Claremont by the six o'clock train, when the game was called for 65.30, and I did not go back ta Oshawa with the team as I caught my train at Pickering. The Regiment were just as much stran- gers to me as the Claremont team, Mr. Mason secretary of the Osh- awa and District Association was to have taken me from Oshawa to Clare- mont but on getting to Oshawa at 2 o'clock, I found he had been called away on business and left me with no way of getting to Claremont. Upon enquiring at the armories I found they were running two trucks one with the team and one with their wives and friends so 1 rode in the latter, 1 received every | -- consideration from the Clarepéht team and while they played fdr too strenuous football, for which I had to repeatedly penalize, they took every dicision as given and the whole trouble occurred by the following in- cident: With about 15 minutes to go and the Regiment leading 1 to 0 the left wing man of Claremont was standing in an offside position,, the ball was crossed over from the right wing and upon the said player run- ning in to take the ball, 1 blew him offside. Ignoring the whistle, he ran on and put the ball hetween the goal posts, The crowd, who were cheer- ing loudly, may not have heard the whistle and no doubt were justi fied to a certain extent in feeling badly about the goal being disallow ed. No paper however can be justi- fied in writing such a libelous article as the "Pickering News" and I ask you to publicly publish the facts of the case at the same time apologiz- ing for the remark attributing me to be devoid of all honbr.""
