OSHAWA, ONTARIO, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1922 Sporting World News Saturday's Game Brought Out 1eam' High School Rugbyists Are 41.1--Visitors Were s Weak Spots Defeated by Parkdale Crowd a Much Heavier Team Than the Locals Old King Rughy made hig debut to local fans on Saturday afternoon on the High School campus when the classy Parkdale junior O.R.F.U. team defeated the color bearers of the Oshawa High School by a score of 41 to 1, Judging from the score the im- pression is gained that ithe local oval chasers were sadly outclassed. Such is not the case, however, for in the last half they had every bit as much of the play as the Queen City boys. The Toronto clique is a big and experienced aggregation which has had the benefit of years of exper- fence, The locals were outweighed twenty pounds to the man. Possi- bly the greatest defect in the High School athletes was their lack of condition, This was to he expected, of course, because of the fact that they were engaging in their first tilt of the season. Parkdale, on the other hand, was in the pink of con- dition, having' played two strenuous games alréady. Weak Spots Found The game served, however, to dis- close to Coach Fred Carswell many | weak spots and these holes will he plugged before the regular season starts. The greatest weakness of the locals was their poor tackling and indifferent work of the back divis- fon. The backs did not catch a cleanly all afternoon while their kicking was also far behind that shown by the Toronto crowd. As far as inside and middle wings are concerned they are O.K. Time and again the big middles and in- sides. would rip the Toronto line to shréds only to have the good work neutralized by poor work on the part of the half backs and poor tackling by the outsides. When the back division is strength- ened and two good outside wings are trained then the boys from Mr. Althouse's knowledge emporium will give district teams the battle of their lives before a verdict is ob- tained. punt The Play Starting with a rush the Toronto team scored two points in rapid succession on kicks to the deadlines. Before the first quarter was over the score was 24 to 0 in favor of To- ronto. Practically all of the points were scored as the result of the fumbling of the Oshawa backs and fast following up of Toronto wing men, Although favored with in the second quarter the wind the locals The Girl from Vaga- bondia Written and produced Wilson MacDonald Canada's Eminent Poet and Playwright. REGENT Oct. 25 and 26 under auspices Oshawa Hospital by __-- could not score while Caldwell, fol- lowing a' brilliant run by Trimble, was shoved for another try. In this quarter several of the Oshawa line plungers put forth their best licks and tore gaping holes in the Toronto line. Fumbles again proved costly, otherwise they might have scored. At the halftime intermission To- ronto was leading 29 to 0. Locals Braced Up In the third quarter they ran wild again, scoring 12 points, The locals made their best showing in the last quarter when they scored one point on a kick to the deadline while To- ronto was held scoreless, The tack- ling of the Oshawa kids showed vast improvement in this half, which pre- vented the Toronto stars, Trimble, McKenzie and Wright from getting away for long runs like they did in the first portion of the game. The game was remarkably clean and the officials, C. Kewley, Osh- awa, referee; and D. Addison, um- pire, of Toronto, had very little dif- ficulty in handling the game. The line-up: Parkdale -- Rover, McKenzie; halves, Trimble, McKenzie, Wright; (quarter, Cameron; snap, Edgar, insides, Addison and Burke; mid- dles, Worsnip and Blackwell; out- |sides, Winchester and Caldwell; spares, Dawson, Kendall and Noonan. Oshawa High School--Rovers, Jam- ieson and Hart; halves, Williams, Clarke, Butchard, D. Irwin and Jackson; quarter, T. Buckley; snap, Moffat; insides, Miller, Fare- well, Nott and Spring; middles, N. Irwin, McKay and Beath; outsides, Hubbell and Mitchell. Bowmanville Is After Good Coach For Hockey Teams Bowmanville Amateur Athletic As- sociation is already making prepara- tions for the coming hockey season. At a meeting this week the execu- tive was authorized to secure as soon coach to handle both intermediate and juior teams which will be en- tered in O.H.A. series the coming season, and Secretary M, A. Neal was delegated by the association to go on a scouting tour as soon as possible in search of an experienced and success- ful coach to take charge of the play- ers at once. With the splendid showing the baseball team made this summer un- der the management of B.A.A.A. Jo- cal followers of sport are very opti- mistic over the prospects of a good season of hockey. It is expected the | intermediates will be the strongest [they bave been in yecars, while sev- | eral young home brews will be pro- moted to junior ranks to assist last year's fast aggregation in making a big bid for group horors. W. Arthur Edger has been appoint- ed to represent Bowmanville at the annual O.H.A. meeting. Claremont Look Like Champions Claremont practically clinched the championship of the Oshawa and District Football Association Satur- day afternoon when they defeated Bowmanville 3 to 1 in the first of the home and home games in Bow- manville. The return game will be played in Claremont next Saturday. In Saturday's fixture, Claremont blanked the Knitters 2 to 0 in the first half. After 20 minutes of play in the second, the losers scored but the visitors added another before the end of the game. L. T. Nelson, of Toronto, officiated as referee and will do so again next Saturday. JOIN THE hy?» Belleville Here Saturday Next in O.R.F.U. Match The local group in the inter- scholastic series of the O.R.F.U, will get under way next Saturday after- noon with Belleville playing in Osh- awa and Peterboro at Lindsay, At a meeting representatives of the clubs in this section at Port Hope on Saturday with Mr. J. G. Althouse as convener, it was decided to divide the group into two sections with Peterboro and Lindsay playing home and home gages and Belle- | ville and Oshawa in this section. The winners of the two sections will play off, A date has been left open for a sudden death game should one be necessary to decide the winner of either division. The schedule was arranged as follows: | Oct. 21, Belleville at Oshawa; Pet- | erboro at Lindsay. | Oct, 28, Oshawa at Belleville; Lindsay at Peterboro. | Nov, 4, Open. Nov. 11, First play-off game. Nov. 18, Second play-off game, Too Prolonged; | Single Schedule, May Not Have Double Schedule in C.O.L. Another Season | as possible the services of a capable Toronto newspapers are criticising {the O.B.A.A. for allowing the On tario finals to run along so late in the season, claiming that a number | {of playérs who are prominent in | baseball are required in the line-ups {of rughy teams and that when the | baseball season conflicts with rugby either one or the other suffers. While there is no doubt a little soreness on | the part of Toronto fans owing to the | {defeat of Hillcrests by Belleville, | {and the absence of Batstone and, {Lang from the line-up last Saturday |gives the Queen City supporters {chance for offering an alibi, some- thing should be done to have the {Ontario championship decided by the {first week in October at least. | The Ontario title is still undecided {and there is a possibility of a third game being necessary to decide the |Galt-Belleville series. Should that |be the case the final game would be played on Wednesday, October 25. more than three weeks after the world's series, Except for a few ex- hibition games, the baseball sea=cn has practically terminated in every other province but Ontario and in | justice to teams figuring in cham- pionships, the final games should he arranged so as to ensure good hase | ball weather, which is most uncer- tain at this time of the year. Must Start Earlier In the Central Ontario League this past season, each team was required to play twenty-eight scheduled | games and at the close of the scehd- ule there were a number unplayed | games, due to weather conditions, | protests, etc. Some real systematic figuring was necessary to ob*ain a winner in time to meet Hillcrests While the double schedule has prov ed to be fairly successful in the C. O. B. L. circuit, with eight clubs, it is a difficult proposition to have a winner declared on the appointed time. If the league is composed of eight clubs again next year it ne- cessarily follows that the schedule will have to get under way earlier thafl before. Last spring, the open- | MACDONALD'S BRIER MACOON4 pis [the ing games were billed for May 20, four days earlier than in previous years but another year it will have to be a week or two weeks earlier. Before this year, the Central League pennant winners were de- cided right on time hut there were only six teams to figure on, and on 0 champions were obliged to lie idle ne or two occasions the C.0.B.L. for a week or two, waiting for the other sections to decide a winner. This period of fnactivity did not help the Central League's chances of winning the Ontario title but the 0.B.A.A. could easily set a date for finals earlier and make the leagues governed by them live up to the rules.' May Use Bingle Schedule There is a feeling in local baseball circles that the Central League will not adopt the double schedule next year owing to the difficulty encoun- tered this season. With eight clubs and the season commencing on May 24, the usual date of opening, a sin- gle schedule would fit in very nice- ly and the championship would be decided some time early in Septem- ber, without having a last minute rush, Not Consistent It was often remarked this year that the Central Ontario League did not display as good baseball as in 1921 but the real reason was that the teams were not playing consist- ently. Oshawa made an excellent bid for the first half honors and local fans were treated to some fine con- tests but in the second half they looked to he abont eligible for the Church League. ' Belleville, who have an unusually good chance to land the Ontario hon ors, were hopeless In the first half but travelled at a fast clip in the second. However, when the hig se- ries arrived, the CC. O, B. L, champs took two out of three games from the mighty Hillerests, who were con- sidered to be almost invincible. To- ronto fans believed the downfall of the T.A.B.A, winners to he an im possibility but the official hox scores show that in two of the Bimes the Trunks were equally as good with the willow, with a decided advantage on the pitching end. Th» Belleville-Hillerest tilt proved be- yond all doubt that local fans are be ing given as good baseball or even better, than in other leagues in On- tario. First Game in Galt the Trunks compare with Galt is not known but reports declare that the Western champions are a real classy aggregation. Their showing against St. Thomas, Guelph and other sterling 'teams also bear out that statement. Belleville arn going into the finals full of con- fidence that they can dispose of the Just how Westerners, and with Williams show- | ing the form he displayed against Hillerests, the Galt canines will cer- tainly have difficulty in connecting with his fast hooks. Belleville play in Galt tomorrow afternoon with the return game in Belleville on Satur- day. PAGE FIVE Yes Sir-e-! Two plugs for 25 cts.! And some tobacco too! You never chewed better!
