PAGE EIGHT THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, MONDAY, APRIL 22, 1929 Kingston Admitted, But Must Accept a Season Bye £ Given Until PRERE ILA R Lc eR AREER --Neil Hezzelwood Un- able to Act as Business Manager Kingston are to be admitted to the Central Ontario League but only on n conditions that they draw a bye un- . and in order by that time. til such time as the remaining four teams have decided a winner and a runner up, at that time the second team will play a series of three games with the Kingston nine with the sur- vivor playing the same number of games with the league leader for the title. The 2lst Battalion, the spon- sorers are to consider this condition and decide as to their acceptance by Wednesday of this week. This King- ston Battalion has been behind many winning teams in all lines of sport in. Kingston and will in all probabil- ity turn out a smart ball team and as they have a reputation for back- ing their enterprises to the last ditch and have in addition to that the en- tire support of the Kingston baseball fans the meeting thought that they deserved some consideration, hence the other four teams were willing and anxious to have them in the league if the trips to Kingston during the playing season were unnecessaiy. This means was the only way pos- sible to solve the question to the satisfaction of all concerned. All representatives were in favor of the double schedule and a tenta- tive schedule was passed out for the consideration of the teams. The sce- dule calls for two games a week with the playing dates being Wednesdays and Saturdays. At the meeting of the local club last week it was decided to support the double schedule but the time that will be lost by so many games will be missed by a number of the players to say nothing of the officers of the club. The date set for the passing of the players' certificates was set for the 11th of May, making it necessary for the clubs to have all players signed Although there is no connection between this and the Belleville meet- + ing, it must be made known that * Neil Hezzlewood, who was elected to the office of business manager with- out a desenting note at the meeting of the General Motors last Thurs- day, has after considering it care- fully decided to decline the position, giving a number of reasons for his OSHAWA NATIONALS Players are requested to turn out for at Alexandra Park Tuesday night, at $1 p.m. decision. Neil stresses the fact that his connection with the rugby team and the overlong schedule of the baseball team would interfere with the result and that neither team would get the proper amount of at- tention, nv A meeting will be held in the near future to consider the Belleville meet- ing and to select a business mana- ger and also a field manager.

Six thou- sand fans lost out on rain checks when Umpire Gaston made the ath- letes toil the fifth inning while rain beat down on an already heavy field. But what of it? Gaston's stubbornness, probably due to box office demands, made possible a Toronto victory, the Leafs scoring two runs in the fifth land that was the margin of their success, It was a dramatic finish, With one run in, three men on bases and two out in the Keys' half of what proved the final chukker, and the rain coming down as if poured out of a bucket, Guy Can- trell, to clinch his second win of the season, threw the wet and slip- pery ball past Lena Styles for a strike out, And the third strike was a foul tip that spanked into Steve O'Neill's big mitt with a thud that could be heard all over the crowd- ed park. Then the umpires and players rushed to cover and baseball was over for the day. One-quarter hour later Umpire Parker, helpmate o1 Gaston, floundered through the mud to the front of the grandstand and formally called it a day. His squeak brought no cheers from tne fans. Rain Threatened Postponement Rain first fell shortly after the noon hour and at 2 o'clock plenty of doubt prevailed as to whether it wolld be possible to play the (game, but the skies finally clearew and the sun appeared warm and bright, making conditions most agreeable. But as suddenly as the dark clouds had rolled back they appeared again along about the fourth inning and with them came more rain, while it became so dark it was with difficulty the outfielders could be distinguished. « The umpires put up with the raindrops ' trickling down their necks until the Leafs were at bat in the fifth, when they halted pro- ceedings with Rabbitt as the lu- ber-swinger and Cantrell on second through his hit and a wild toss ww first by 'Tweet Walsh. But in a Jiffy the game was resumed and Rabbitt, on the first pitch, promp.- ly rifled the ball into right fieic for a double, scoring Cantrell. Be- dore laid down a bunt and went all the way around to third base and Rabbitt counted when Sterling Stryker threw the ball into right field. Art Ruble hit to Scott and Bedore was run down between third and home while Sweeney and Burke could only pop the wet bail into the air for easy outs. But the Leafs were leading 4 to 1 and ap- parently had victory clinched if the teams wereallowed to play the last half of the inning. And they were.

CAMPBELL FAIL T0 BREAK RECORD Major Segrave's Figure for Automobile Speed Still Stands Verneuk Pan, Cape of Good Hope, April 22.--Captain 'Malcolm Campbell, famous British autvmo- bile racer, yesterday afternoon made a gallant but vain attempt to wrest the world's record of 231 miles an hour from his country- man, Major H. O. D. Segrave, Is two attempts over a measur- ed mile course Captain Campbell attained a speed of 224.58 in his first run in a westerly direction, but in the second run in an easter- ly direction, only pushed the nose of his "Blue Bird" over the course at 212.51, making his average for both runs, 218.54. DAVIS RETAINS TITLE IN PRO CUE TOURNEY London, April 22--In a match last- ing two weeks and ending yesterday Joseph Davis of Chesterfield retain- ed his title of professional billiards champion of England, and defeated Thomas Newman of London. New- man had 17219 points when Davis reached 18,000 and game. The match began April 8 and was the final game of the annual championship tourna- ment. Davis and Newman were the fughists in last year's tournament as well, YOUNG WOMAN KILLED Montreal, April 22.--Mrs. Doris Fitzgerald, 21 years old,, of Ver- dun, Que., was kilied on Sunday, when she lost control of her auto- mobile and crashed into the Lach- ine Canal, which is empty of water at present. Mrs. Fitzgergald's mother, who was also in the car, escaped with minor cuts and bruises. FAMILY INJURED Simcoe, April 22.--Tragic con- sequences in a motor accident on the Jarvis-Hagersville provincial highway were narrowly averted about 4 o'clock Sunday afternoon when a sedan, bearing the family of Mr. Ruddy of Guelph, plunged into a deep ditch, causing serious injuries to Mr. and Mrs. Ruddy, who were in the front seat, and shaking up their three children. fans that saw him perform. SPORT SNAPSHOTS In view of the fact that the club that is behind the entry of the King- ston team in the Central Ontario League are known to have the support and respect of the entire city in all lines of sport along with their reputa- tion of turning out real smart teams of the proper type of athlete it was thought by all that they were not only deserving of consideration but that they would get it. Although Oshawa delegates were strongly opposed to the Kingston entry they only were opposed owing to the distance to travel so when the president suggested the entry being allowed on condition thax the limestone city played a series of games in their own city until such time as the league had arranged two leaders, then the second team would play a series of three games with the Kingston nine, the winner to play alike series with the leader of the league proper. . This eliminates the trip to Kingston except for one trip by one team in the semi-finals and one trip by the finalists, The double schedule was also passed at the meeting in Belleville and will likely be adopted. This arrangement of games calls for a great deal of time on the part of the players and club officers which will go hard on the pay envelope. All were in favor of this both at the meetin General Motors team and in Belleville but on looking over a tentative sche- dule many will change their opinion when they see it necessitates two games a week from the 24th of May until the 17th of August, after which the playoff will hold the attention of all interested. of the Twelve games away and twelve at home does not sound, like a great deal of baseball until you think of the trips during the week that will take the whole afternoon to make, play a twilight game, and then return, Boxing fans will be pleased to learn that Malcolm Mathieson won the Dominion crown in the flyweight. division and won it by means of his same aggressive style that he used when fighting in the preliminaries here by stalking his enemy from corner to rope and trading punches without trying to cover up. In nearly all his fights if his opponent would trade punch- es Mathieson was a sure thing as he had a left hand that scored points for him at every shot and he was always ready to take three to land that leit.

Mr. Mackinnon was playing the course in company with Herb Smith and Fred Bunting when the bid for membership to 'the "Hole in One Club" was driven off. The hole on which the ball was sunk from the tee is known as the "Short Hole" and is one of the short- est on the course, being a distance of 145 yards with a par of three. These facts do not take anything a- 5| way from the achievement, however, as there are traps to the side of the fairway and though the hole is not considered difficult, it is by no means a "cinch." HORNSBY LEADS Roger Hornsby, batting champion of the National league, turned in the outstanding offensive performance of the young season at Wrigley field yesterday and as a result ousted Lou Gehrig from the top of the Big Six column. Hornsby's spree of two dou- bles and two. singles in four official times at bat not only helped the Cubs defeat the champion Cardinals by 4 to 0, but lifted the Rajah's personal batting figure to .583. Jim Bottomley, a Big Six rival, went hitless. Babe Ruth and Gehrig, the only American leafue Big Six entries ac- tive through yesterday's rain, got one safe drive each. The Standing G AB R H. Pet.

ATHLETICS DEFEAT CHAMPS New York, April 22.--Some 40,- 000 fans braved a cold rain yester- day to see the Yankees in their first Sunday game at home this season.

Although it was the first game of the season and also taking into consideration that some members of the team were playing their first game for the newly formed "Osa- awa Nationals" the team settled down like a machine and gave the specta- tors a nice display of clever combin- ation football, ultimately winning the game by the decisive miargin of 6-1, in their favor. It would be very un- wise to criticize the players singular- ly owing to the unfortunate weather conditions which made the park have the appearance of a swamp. However; special mention must be given to Peterson, Jamie Hagen and also McGreish, who performed at outside left and played beyond ex- pectation, in fact so well did he play that the last year's outside left will not be missed. They are as strong an aggregation of players as could be found in Onttario, and will have to be reckoned with when it comes to th cup ties.

BUT MUST AWAIT PLAYOFF DAT Mathieson and Sacks Win In Port Arthur Boxing Finals Same Style as Displayed Here Used by Mathieson to Win Dominion Honor --Crothers, Sarnia, Also Brings Title to Ontario Port Arthur, April 22.--A trio ot Ontario boxers, middleweight, wel- ter and flyweight, annexed domin- fon honors for their province Sat- urday night. Their success gave the banner province five of the seven Canadian mitt titles allott- ed at the three-day boxing and wrestling tourney at Port Arthur. Two Canadian grappling cham- pions--Jimmy Trufinov, Regina bantam, and Howard Thomas, Montreal lightweight -- retained their 1928 laurels on the closing night. For the Regina mail clerk' it was his seventh consecutive title in the 123-pound class. In the other two contests on the Saturday card Hans Lindborg, a towering 205-pound Finn, brought heavyweight mat championship to Port Arthur, and Johnny Wilson, Winnipeg, qualified as the light- weight leader. Because they were the only entries in their class Wil- son and Trufinov accepted their crowns after exhibition matches. Only after hard-fought struggles were Ontario's boxing representa- tives able to capturetheir domin- fon championships. Malcolm Ma- thieson and Harry Sachs, Toronto office boy and architect, respective- ly, became flyweight and middle- weight titlists, while Angie McLeod, Fort William grain sampler, toiled to the welterweight heights. Mathieson Wins To qualify as Canada's youngest boxing champ, as feather king, 16- vear-old Malcolm Mathieson, of Toronto, was forced to overcome weight, height and reach. He gain- ed a verdict over Winnipeg's Tom- my Iball by sheer aggressiveness. Despite a continuous shower of long-arm blows, Mathieson kept coming.

The Toron- to office boy's margin was based solely on the fact that not once did he waver from his inevitable ad- vance. The only entry in his class Johnny Wilson, Winnipeg light- weight, took an unsatisfying title after an exhibition bout. Matched against the speedy cleverness of Harold Stewart, feather champion, Wilson displayed a dodging defence fags footwork, and a potent jabbing eft. Another lone entrant, Jimmy Trufinov, Regina wrestler, gained by default his seventh successive Caadian bantam title. Giving away nine pounds, he rode Harvey Rowland, clever Montreal printer boy, most of the way, Rowland of- fered a real test for the cleverness of the 25-year-old Regina champ- ion. 25 RUNS IN ONE GAME St. Louis, April 22.--The Detroit Tigers took, a wild slugfest from the St. Louis Browns here yester- day, 16 to 9. The game was play- ed in cold, threatening weather, It was featured by four balks, be. lieved by some experts to be a record for a major league game in recent years, three home runs and successful use of the hidden ball trick by the Browns to effect a double play.
