R. Rich- ards, attending Thevenow, said the player would recover, but it was pro- bable that he would not be able to play again this year.

His upper jaw and nose were loose and it was necessary to wire them back in place Hainsworth Again Wins Goalkeeping Memorial Trophy Montreal, April 4--George Hains- worth, sterling custodian of the Can- adien Hockey club nets, has again been awarded the Georges Vezina memorial trophy, according to a sta- tement issued from National Hockey league headquarters. This trophy, which was presented to the league in 1926-27 season by the Canadien Hockey club to perpe- tuate the memory of the late Georges Vezina, himself one of the greatest, if not the greatest goalkeeper the game has ever known, is awarded each year to the goalkeeper whose performances through the season en- title his 'to distinction. . Hainsworth, during the season just closed, set up some. remarkable rec: ords, among them one of 22 shut- outs for the winter, another of 16 straight games without a loss and one of 28 straight games with only one loss. Hainsworth startéd out on his re- cord-breaking streak on Jan. 12 last, and did not lose a game until Jan. 21, Toronto Maple Leafs gave the diminutive goalie his first setback in his onward march on Jan. 23, but from to the end of the season Hains- worth was uniformly successful. MONTREAL CARD LOOKS GOOD Montreal, April 4--Charlie Belan- ger, Canadian __ light-heavyweight champion, will make his first appear- ance in a Montreal ring a week from last night at the Forum.

The minutes of the last meeting were read, after which came. the financial statement by the secre- tary-treasurer, all of which proved. beyond doubt the splendid year en- joyed by the club. A report of the season's activities was read by the president, all competitions during 1928-29, extending thanks Mr. F. L. Mason, president of Oshawa Curlers Limited, and also Mr, C. E. Hare for their work in accom- plishing the task of erecting an ar- tificial ice plant. The president in his report made many suggestions all of which met with approval. The question of selling each new member a share of" stock was pro- ductive of much discussion. Mr. F. L. Mason gave a strong address putting the question before the meeting in a number of ways, pointing out the advantages and disadvantages of compelling the new members to buy stock. Man members expressed their opinio on the question on hand. A motion was made to recom- mend to the Curlers Limited to re vise the by-law so as no new mem- bers be compelled to buy stock for the season of 1929-30, The motion 'wag carried. The method of electing Tankard Skips was the next order of busi- ness, The problem was finally set- tled with the motion to elect 6 Tankard Skips and 4 Skips for District Cups. The selection to be left in abeyonce until the opening of the 1929-30 season at whieh time 2 Tankard and 2 District Cup Skips be selected by means of a series of games to be arranged by the Match Committee.

SHORE WANTS SALARY INCREASE Boston, Mass.,, April 4.--Eddie Shore, star defence man of the Bos- ton Bruins, world's professional hockey champions, has refused to sign a contract for next season un- less he receives a substantial in- crease in salary. It became known yesterday that he had demanded $17,500 for his services, The terms of the contract offered him by the Bruins' management were not made public. HAT is an old saying and a true one. But it's surprising how few people realize that it is true. How often have you your- self gone to your service man in a hurry and just had some grease 'added to what is already in your transmission and differen- tial? That's what you call greasing your car, but in reality, you might as well have saved your money, because the fresh grease is only wasted. Added to impure grease, it immediately loses its value as a lubricant. What you should do is to have the old grease flushed out and a complete fresh supply put in. Your dealer sells and recommends "WHIZ" GEAR GREASE as the most perfect of tested greases. - Drop in tomorrow and let him service your car as only an expert can. . |A., 'went ahead apace. City Juvenile Lacrosse Loop Prospects Bright t a meeting held last night, in | the Council Chambers plans for an Intermediate Lacrosse Club from Oshawa to be entered in the O.A.L.

Timely Dates Set For Bouts Right at this pariicular season of the year the sporting fraternity | of the city of Oshawa have ab- | solutely nothing with which to occupy their mind. We feel sure, therefore, that the announcement that the Eastern Ontario Boxing Championships have been awarded to Oshawa, will be greeted with great delight, indeed, The A. A. U. of C. have been doing a great deal of missionary work in the interests of amateur boxing throughout the province, and the staging of the bouts in Oshawa is just one of their steps in educating the people to the fis- tic game. The local Boxing Club which is sponsored by the 34th Ont. Regt., have endeavoured faithfully to give the local fans, boxing worth while, and we are happy to state that with the help and co-operation of some of the Toronto Clubs, they have established themselves in the hearts of the boxing fans here, as being good sports, always striving to put on a good show, Now their reward is coming with the grant- ing of the championships to thelr local club and they are out to show the outside clubs how to box. Come and see for yourself, BALL PLAYERS HAVE NARROW ESCAPE IN AUTO Chattanooga, Tenn., Apr. 4.-- Manager Steve O'Neill of the Tor- onto Baseball Club, Paddy Barry, the well-known mining man, who is making the southern trip with the team, Ralph Shinners and Guy Cantrell had a narrow escape from first '| what might have been a serious ae- cident yesterday, when on a motor trip to Stone Mountain, which is some miles out of town. Somebody - in the party lit a match and in a jiffy the whole ine terior of the car was ablaze, pre- sumably from a gas leak, Needless to say, the quartet de- gerted the flaming chariot in a hurry, along with the chauffeur. Hower, the anticipated explosion didn't eventuate and the joy-riders managed to get a lift back into town with nothing but a scare to show for their experience. GLENNA COLLETT WINS GOLF HONORS Pinehurst, N.C., April 4.--Neith- er Helen Hicks, of Hampstead, L.I., nor Maureen Orcutt, of Englewood N.J., remained in the championship picture yesterday at the end of the quarter finals of the north and south women's golf tournament. The survivors were Glenna Collett, Virginia Van Wie, of Chicago, Mar- ion Turpie, of New Orleans, and Edith Quier, of Reading, Pa. Virginia Van Wie was obliged to go to the 19th hole before she was able to win from Virginia Wilson, Canadian champion, After being 5 down at the eighth hole, "Gino™ ag Virginia Van Wie is known, came into her own to win four holes in a row, making her only one down. SOCCER NOTES A general soccer meeting of players and members, will be held in the lunch room, Wil- liam street at 8 pm. Admis- sion by membership card only. All members holding G.M.C. cards please bring same for correction. A large turnout is requested as busi is ime portant and urgent. A trial game will be played at Alex andra Park on Saturday at 3 pm. OSHAWA CITY F.C. Training tonight at the Y. M.C.A. has been cancelled, but a ball will be available on the ground for those able to get to the park. An exhibition meme has been arranged with Earlscourt Kenwood F.C., on Saturday 6, at Alexandra Park, kickoff at 3:15. All players who attend- ed Good Friday's game are asked to be in attendance on Saturday, rT, b> The dual meet held on Saturday last at the Central "Y" arranged by Alex Duff of the Delphinets at 48 hours' notice was an unqualified success. This meet brought to light the greatest world's champion in the world of swimming that Canada has ever developed, Miss Marjory Linton, a young miss under 12 years of age, is the bril- liant star in the firmament who, under the present rate of development, will probably be the fastest woman swimmer in the world, She will be the Martha Norelius or Eleanor Holm of Canada, only faster. She is both a free style and back stroke swimmer and in an exhibi- tion of the latter style she clipped four seconds off the previous Canadian record, not bad for an 11-year-old stripling. Linton swam an exhibition 220 yards at Broadview "Y" on Wednesday night and clipped no less than 19 seconds off the old record. Miss Irene O'Bryne, Miss Hilda Huestis and Miss Betty Edwards have been the Canadian champions and record holders in recent years in dorsal swimming and Miss Mary Cason can uncover a burst of speed also in this They are all eclipsed by this mere child, who should beat the world s Alex Duff, her coach, has a great respon- sibility on his hands and to him all credit is due for this girl's success and style. before she is three years older. in him lies her future, MARJIORY, SWAN 220 YARDS AND cL\PPED 19SEC OF THE FORMER SPORT SNAPSHOTS The boxing championships to be held in the Armouries n and Tuesday night are sure to be along the best of such i ay onday ern Ontario Championship Fights, though the time is not far away nof much can be said regarding the entries, as they are all handled from To- ronto by the Ontario Branch of the AAU. of C. A new plan will be ef- fected at the wicket on Monday night only. All seats will be at a pat value of half a dollar; while on Tuesday night for the finals there will be reserved seats as there has been at all fights throughout the winter, Gord Whitfield and Ernie Dixon of the Ontario Boxing Club were in the Qugen City all day yesterday at a meeting of the "Big Shots" and on their return were very mysterious but also optimistic about the class of entertainment to be put before the boxing fans of Oshawa. Murray John- ston another "in the know" can think of little else and looking forward to Monday and Tuesday knowing that after these two big nights he can rest assured that the first attempt a promoting was an unequalled success, ' ; Alhough there should be a great many local entries we are of the opinion that the biggest part of the program will be made up from boxers in other parts of Eastern Ontario, Lance Corp Stokes a favorite with the fight fans will be unable to enter owing to a broken finger sustained while in training. Bert Ripley, a boy that has been improving with every start will in all probability be one of the local lads to enter and shouid || make a good showing in his weight class. ALD. CLIFF HARMAN © Elected President of the Paint Shop Athletic Club. Ald. Harman To Lead Paint S hop Club The Paint Shops held their an- nual meeting last night, electing their officers for the 1929 season and making plans for the coming ball season. The minutes of the last meeting were read followed by the financial statement which showed that the club was operating under favor- able conditions. A motion that a euchre should be held in the near future for the purpose of raising funds and also to keep the name of the club before the public was met with the approval of the meeting. Last year the Buick Paint Shop team won the Clifford Cup in the South Ontario League and in all probability the paint shop boys will again be after it this spring. The officers elected were: Hon. Presidents, Walter Daniels, Robert Hyndman; hon vice-presidents, C. Ci Marr, R. Flintoff, H. Dayton, E. James; hon. second vice-presidents, C.: Spilsted, D. Govan, V, Hutchins, L. Goldsmith; President, Cliff Har- man; vice-president, Fred Davis; secretary-treasurer, W. Harmer; softball manager, J. Hele; auditors, H. Howarth and C. R. Brown, The meeting of the Red Aces Ball Club that was booked to take place tonight is postponed until Wednesday night of next weck. .. .C. E. Hare was elected to lead the Oshawa Curling Club in their act- ivities during the 1929 and 30 season at a meeting held last night at Welsh's Parlors. The meeting was one of the largest and liveliest ever held by this band 'of Broom Handlers. Many matters of importance were brought before the members and were discussed from all angles with a number of men putting their opinions before the meeting, A question of great importance was that of discontinuing to compel new members to purchase a share in the club, This matter took a great deal of discussing and was finally settled by making a motion that a rec- comendation be sent to the Curlers Limited to lift this rule for the period of one season at least, to enable the club to secure a large active member- ship. The method and time of electing the Tankard and District Cup Skips was another point that was well talked over. In the end this was settled in the most suitable manner by deciding to have six and four skips re- spectively, snd have hen engage in § setes of games to decide the ones to represent Oshawa in the District an ankard Games. RECORD P : The Oshawa City and Intermediate Lacrosse outfit have the right idea regarding the furtherment of the sport when they elected to sponsor a juvenile league in the city. Medals for the winners of this juvenile Teague will be sent to Oshawa by the O.A.L.A. and will be on display in a store window to encourage the younger boys to take up the game. This City Club' got underway last might at a meeting in the Council Chambers by electing their officers and the executives to fill the positions of importance in the coming season, ; hn an | WINNIPEG TOILERS Not content with this, Miss : GAIN LENGTHY LEAD Winnipeg, April 4--A 22-point lead was mounted up here last night' by the Winnipeg Toilers, Manitoba champions, in the first game of their two-game series with Fort William Cubs, Thunder Bay representatives, in the Canadian Basketball associa- tion senior play-downs. The Toilers, Canadian titleholders 1 London Stage All Ser For Meeting! London, April. George S. Martin of the O.B.A.A. is confident that the annual meeting of the amateur ball solons which is to be held for the first time outside Toronto this Saturday, when it opens its sessions here at the Hotel London, will be one of the biggest on record. ! Reports to the president's office from the various sections of the province indicate that enthusiasm is ; running a high temperature and a rapid pulse for the eleventh an- nual meeting, but that there is lit- tle danger of any controversial complications when the delegates meet to clear the decks for the 1929 campaign. The meeting will disclose a gen- eral feeling of optimism over the future of baseball, in the opinion of President Martin. He says that the executive ig convinced the game is starting out on an upward curve again after some seasons of depres- sion due to the inroads of golf and softball and other summer diver- sions, There are no highly inflammable. amendments on the agenda for Sat- urday's meeting. The association will deal with two amendments dealing with finances, and both aimed at bolstering the treasury. Few athletic associations ' have given the encouragement to the juvenile, bantam and junior series that has been a feature of O.B.A. A. reports for the last few years. Recognition of this splendid work is given the association in the con- tribution it has received. from the Ontario Athletic commission for the furtherance of this work. To continue this encouragement to the minor series and at the same time to maintain the association in a stable financial position, amend- ments aiming at a more equitable division of receipts will be voted on by the delegates Saturday.
