THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, TUESDAY, MARCH 26, | v A da LL 929 QUALIFIES MAR = I A Tv Mariboros Owercome Lead to ERR Toronto, March 26.--Marlboros aye monarchs of all they survey in Eastern Canada, conquerors of the age limit series and worthy entrants in the dominion ele ~ for the Memorial Cup, their conquest of all in the east being completed at the (Arena Gardens last" when they defeated Ottawa Shamrocks hy 3 to 1, which overcame a one goal de- ficit from the first game and gave them the round by a maigin of 6 to 5. The narrow. edge of one sin- gle score about represented the dif- ference in the Canadian semi-final- ists, the .doughty Dukes, just hav-| ing a silght advantage in experi ence, weight and play, which gave them the right to proceed onward to the pinnacle of junior hockey. Shades of Lionel Conacher, the Big Train, when he reigned pee: of football stars or inspired the New York Americans to win in the N.H.L. were duplicated by his younger brother, Charlie, who led the men of Marlboro through their hardest test. All three of the Marl- boro markers came from his well educated stick. The first on a solo dash to tie the round, then another on a pass from Eddie Convey, while he paired with Harvey Jack- son in the most spectacular play of the struggle, which regained the lead, lost by an Ottawa goal dutr- ing the second period, The climax to the eastern cham- pionships was a play that will ling- er 'long in the minds of a crowd, which almost - filled the Mutual street arena, for it came in an em- ergency when the Dukes were in a most desperate situation with two players on the penalty bench and the round deadlocked. The two suceessive offences which sent Con- vey and Ellis Pringle to the bench for bay boys left the weakenea Marlboros holding a fort against a battering ram charge that threat- ened to batter down the last line and take the round, but in the suspense, Charlie Conacher and Harvey Jackson: broke away to- gether, Jackson making a swerving attack for one corner of the goal and when the Ottawa defence was lured aside in an effort to cover him, he passed the puck to Cona- cher and it was in turn directed in- to thec age.

Fields scaled 146%, and Thomp- son 145 pounds. Both therefore were under the 147-pounds class limit, Fields won handily, coming close to stopping the negro in the first two rounds. ' The battle was fought before a capacity crowd of 10,000, with the receipts around $50,000. The match became a. champion- ship affair as a result of the action of the National Boxing Associa- tion, in declaring the title held by Joe Dundee vacated because of. his failure to defend it. A diamond- studded belt worth $5,000, the gift of Promoter Jim Mullen, goes to the winner, Panic in Eighth Round As Fields and the negro stood toe to toe throwing punches at each other in the eighth, a thun- derous rumbling sound, growing in volume each second, suddenly started from the south end of the Coliseum, In a twinkling the crowd of 10,000 was in a riotous uproar, with hundreds dashing out of the exits and others storm- ing toward the ring. A hundred or more, panic stricken spectators climbed or crawled over the ring- giders and swarmed between the ropes, filling the ring. Spectators screamed and shouted that gang- sters had taken possession of the place. The battle had t o be stopped until police and firemen restored order. Twelve to fifteen persons were injured in the crush. Two were reported to have suffered broken legs. Newspaper corres- pondents at the ringside trying to report the battle lost their typewriters in the am and tele- graph wires were broken. After the police and cooler heads re- stored order, the battle was re- sumed with the boxers finishing the eighth round. 0 Over many a clinking glass the general, coment was: 'That was a fine speech of Hoover's and right, to the point, too."'--Will Rogers.

The perspiring athletes struggled with might and main under a blazing sun to reach a decision, but without avail, The final score was two all and both squads were only too willing to call it a day at the conclusion of the ninth. If Playfair Brown had been scoring he would have given the award to the regularg on points as 7, although Madsen all but came across with a knockout punch as early as the second round when he uppercutted one of Cantrel's choicest offerings to deep rignt centre for a triple with one on. But the expensive pitcher from Baltimore and Washington then proceeded to 'bear down' and nothing further came of the siz- zler. Cantrell kept on top of the opposition for the remainder of his stay in the bo and his shoots had the juniors pretty well puzzled. TODAY'S LIST OF AUTO ACCIDENTS WOMAN BADLY INJURED Toronto, Mar. 26.--Hurled aside by a heavy motor truck as it crash- ed through a shop window at 581 Mount Pleasant road, Miss Isabella Wright, 30, of 211 Balmoral ave., suffered a fracture of the knee yes- terday afternoon.

The West has always been noted for its fast hockey players and the sextet that skated on the ice last night was no exception. Every man on the team was a speed merchant, with Gus Rivers and Romeo Rivers, former Manitoba University stars, probably the fastest. The same two players were the stars, but the rest were not far behind in effec- tiveness. "Yank" Boyd uppoared to be the only Packard player who could cope with the Westerns' turn of speed and the Packard left-winger was the star of the Motormen. J While the Tor6nto team was un- able to match C.P.R. as far as speed was concerned, the McPher- son-ledo utfit were not ab it less ef- fective around the nets and it was the pinch-hitting characteristic of Packards that enabled them to tie the game up no less than three times, when the speedy Westerners were out in front on brilliantly ex- ecuted plays that terminated with the Packard goal-tender-to score. C.P.R. Winnipeg--Goal, Holmes; defense, Rivers and Wiliamson; centre, Linguist; wings Rivers and Starr; alternates, Kelly, Jackson, Pattendon. 4 Packards, Toroto--Goal, Holme- shaw; defense, Barnett and Pat- ton; centre, 'Shrimp' McPherson; wings, J.

BUFFALO BASEBALL PLAYERS ARE INJURED IN BUS WRECK Buffalo, March 26.--A despatch to the Courier-Express from Palm Beach, Fla., early yesterday told of an automobile collision in which. several members of the Buffalo baseball team of the Internation- al league were injured at 12.30 o'clock this morning.

Billy Kelly, Art Mils, Buck Elliott and Al Moore, the last named of whom joined the club on Saturday, were less seriously injured, being con- siderably cut and bruised. Frank A. Offerman of Buffalo, president of the club, was rendered uncon- scious and had a narrow escape from drowning. The game scheduled with Tampa Monday has been called off. In fact, the members of the team will not be able to take the field again in several days.
