rasp EIGHT THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, APRIL 25, 1929 \ MARTIN PITCHES LEAFS TO WIN OVER JERSEY CITY SKEETERS + when the air begins to get warmed up alohg comes the rain and spol ing but, even at 3 it may be for the best, for if we get a tough break in the middle of the week there is the law of average that says the weather should by Saturday, be just as we would make it, if we had the say. If Saturday is fine there will be a host of teams in all branch- es of summer sport practicing in the various parks. In lacrosse circlés the intermediates have been training in the Y.M.CA. gym. but have not as vet had a valuable outdoor practice, while the seniors, the General Motors Club have had a small squad out but will get started ini earnest this Sat- urday also. The two soccer tcams have been hard at it for some time and they open their season this week with a game here and away, the City team playing a home game with the Mimico Rovers at Alexandra Park while the Nationals journey to Mimico to play the opener with Mimico Beach entry, Diamond drills, both in softball and hard ball will be held this Sat- urday and though many of the Subs entered in the City and Industrial League have had light workouts the fraining séason proper has fot as yet started. The O.M.IL girls have taken the field but wert handicapped by a small turnout owing to the fact that not sufficient notice was given the players. Saturday, however, they will . be at full strength and expect to put in a profitable afternoon's work, the same dpplies to the Chevs,, except for the mid weekly practice. Queen's University has sent in its official opinion of the modified {fot- ward pass unfavorable and the other astern teams will, in all probability, not be far behind in doing likewise. : "Lefty" Martin, yesterday, was the go getter of the Leafs, pitching a game in which he only allowed three hits while he himself, got two clouts out of three times to the plate. Yesterday's win was Martin's second win of the season and the odds are that either he or Guy Cantrell will be the choice of Manager Steve O'Neil for the mound duties in the Toronto opener next Wednesday. Walter Hagens action in keeping Young Horton Smith, the Missourti wonder off the United States Ryder Cup Golf team will likely start a young riot in golf circles, but Hagen is an ace high golfer besides being captain of the team, and possessing the nerve needed to pull him through Feminine World's Champion --By Jimmy Thompson Hagen Drops Smith oT Cup Team London; April 25.--Walter Ha- en, captain of the United States yer cup team, fan true to the characteristic Hagen form of do- ing the unexpected yesterday when he announced eight of thé team to play in the foursomes, Friday, and left Horton Smith, young Missouri star, olit of the line-up.

Martins Smart Performance Gives Leafs Win Over Skeeters Allow Jersey City Batters] Only 3 Hits While Pitch: ing His Second Victory-- Martin Also Features at the Plate -- "Skeeters" Two Runs Unearned Jersey City, N.J., April 25.--Abe ("Lefty") Martin: stole the show in the opening game of 'the first series here between the Toronto Leafs and the Jersey City Skeet- ers. The elongated southpaw left little glory for any one in the 2-2 victory scored by the victors. The locals never should have scored at Martin's expense. Both runs were unearned. The second run crossed the plate while Don Hankins was fin- ishing up in the ninth inning, but Martin had put the runner on base. "Lefty" issued a pass to Conroy, with one out, and then was placed in a bad situation by Cote, who first fumbled Manger's grounder, and then threw it wide past first base while he still had plenty of time to retire the batter. Manger,' pinch-hitting for Jour- dan, hit hard along the ground right at Cote. It should have been a perfect double killing, but whes Cote foozled the play #0 badly Gone roy reached third afd ager raced to second with the tie run, It was at this junctite ; Manager Steve O'Neill decided to play safe by caling in Hankins. One run scored when "lead lifted & terrific fly to deep = centre, but Jessee was an easy out whea he grounded to "Bucky'" Burke, Besides pitching three-hit base- ball, Martin was also the batting star of the game, The young southpaw slashed two ¢lean isngles off the delivery of Verne Under hill, former Cleveland pitcher, whe started on the mound. The second hit opened a rally in the seventh inning which disposed of Usderhill for the day. Incidentally, it also deveopde into what later proved «eo be the winning run. It was Mar tin's second consecutive victory of the season. i a li S-- Over in the Old Land an agites tion is proceeding fof still more "women's rights."

Doubles to be arranged later. Saturday, May 4 Program to be arranged later, In selecting the team the com- mittee will have prominently in mind the great advantage to be gained by having, if possible, the doubles team, or at least one mem- ber of it, independent of the sin- gles player so that the latter will not be compelled to play on three successive days. . The third and fourth positions on the team may, therefore go to the players who show the most skill in the doubles contests and it is intended to try out quite a number of doubles com- binations.
