Battery Boys Enter- taini Not a dull moment was spent by the large crowd that attended the Smoker held last night in the Auditorium on Mary street by the General Mo ors Baseball and La- crosse Clubs. Bang! Bang! Bang! meaning it was a bang up affair from start to fini, then there was plenty of bangs in the boxing ma.ches especially the last, and the entire performance went over with a bang. For the early comers, and, at regular intervals, an orchestra from the Stamping Plant played popular numbers that were greatly appreciated by the listeners. Al and Bob Harvie, the well known radio singers, opened the program with a series of numbers that had the audience calling for more, they followed this series with a smaller set of popular bal- fads at intervals throughout the evening. H. W. Nicoll, master of ceremonies introduced the mem- bers of the baseball and lacrosse teams in order that the fans could t acquainted with these ath- etes that will be seen in action on docal fields this spring and sum- mer, Included in the introductions were the members and officers of the Blue Devil Rugby team, who responded in a body by giving the well known yell. Mr, Archie Mac- donald, president of the Baseball club spoke shortly introducing Mr. Milton Bergey who addressed the fans in a pleasing and amusing manner. Coach Cliff Pound of the Rugby squad came next with a mall quota of smoker stories. Mr. H.C. Lecky, president of the Jeneral Motors Blue Devils ad- fressed the players and (heir guests with an address in which compliments were handed to the officers of the two clubs whose sfforts made the evening the suc- gess that it was, Mr. Lecky then introduced the speaker of the evening, Dr. F. J. Conboy, the sub- of the address was Man, Man- ood, and Personality, and the t part that athletics have in uflding up the elements necessary to obtain the highest standard of Man, Manhood, and Personality, Before the start of the fights that were on the program, Mr. Norman Walker, matchmaker, ex- plained the absence of several of the fighters that were to have ap- ed, In this explanation the 8 Club Show held in Toronto m Monday night was the reason In nearly every case. The first pout of the evening was a bur- lesque scrap between the 'long sand the short" of it with the tarce in the ring. being Mr. Battling Ike Bulmer at 112 pounds and one round O'Brien at 206 pounds with "rev Wally Clarke" as the ref- eree. The first bout, proper, was at 118 pounds between Jackie Goud- all of the Ontario Regiment Box- ing Club and Al Goldbern of the Central Y, Toronto, This boul was marred by too much sparring and too little real scrapping. Neither fighter was inclined to mix things and the bout continued in the same dull manner for three rounds with the only hitting being done in the cliches, with the exception of Goudall who landed an odd left in the visitor's face, In the extra round Goldbern earned hte deci- sion through his aggressiveness and was given the judge's deci- sion, Oshawa's "Scotty Adalr" was matched against a colored boy from Toronto in the second and at the start of the bout the rangy- ness of the colored gentleman, Bruce Davies of St. Agnes AC. made things look black (joke) for Scotty, However, Adair, soon found Davies weakness and kept shooting straight lefts and nights to the dusky face until blood was stream- ing from the nose. . Davies was well punched around through out the second but his hard swings oc- casionally landed and one brought out some Oshawa blood which when combined with the blood of Davies still looked red. In the third Scotty had Davies hangicg on the ropes at intervals but the game Davieg would come out with a haymaker starting from the floor, none landed however, and it is well that they did not. Scotty got the judges' decision mid the cheering of the throng. They also cheered the plucky Toronto boy to the echo. The first wrestling bout ever to be staged in Oshawa was an- other feature ol this stag evening and the crowd enoyed every min- ute of the two five minute per- iods and also the extra short frame of two minutes, Lawson, Ontario 145 pound champ was defeated by Jack Harold of the Argonaut Club of Toronto in two falls out of three, the first came after four and a half minutes of wrestling and then Lawson evened it up in the short period in a half minute after which Harold registered his second fall near the end of the period. Malcolm Mathieson of the Cen- tral Y, Toronto and holder of the Dominjon Flyweight title scrapped for three rounds with a club mate, Alec Savine of the Y. It was a pretty scrap tto watch with the champ following his opponent around in the familiar style. A difference was notable in the fact that Mathieson usually hooked .o the face but in last night's scrap he had Savine grunting from the rain of blow delivered in the hody. Savine, a former champion was no slouch, and with straight lefts had the Champs nose in sad con- dition, as far as appearance goes. The third round was fast with both fighters hitting hard, Mathie- son wading right in and Savine trying to box him but was unable to 'keep the persistant battler away, result, Mathieson gets deci- EVERY 3000 My .....

The final bout of the evening | between Corp Bill Stokes of the O.R.B.C. and Tony Fezzie was ex- pected to be a wow, it was. Stokes started out by rocking the head of Fezzie three times to the sec- ond with straight stinging lefts. Undaunted Fezzie comes in for more, he got it, throughout the first and early in the second. Stokes kept the head of the To- ronto Boxer snapping back with the same series of quick one crossed occasionally by a hard right. Fezzle was not idle how- ever and Stokes was forced to take a few also. Near the end of the second Stokes was knocked through the ropes and hit his head a resounding smack on the floor knocking him cold, the bell saved him and during the rest period his seconds brought him too and he gamely came out for the third round. Although dazed the local boy kept the now aggressive Fez- zie away with that left until the closing minutes of the fight when Fezzie knocked him out again but once more the bell saved him and with the lead in points the judges had on their books there was no doubt voiced when the decision was given to Stokes. Taking all in all the evening was an outstanding success from the point of view of both the pat- rons and the sponsorers and the turnout is an indication of the support these two team will re- ceive during the playing season of their respective games. | NATIONAL | CUBS ON TOP Brooklyn, May 9.--The Cubs marched into first place yesterday through their own 4 to 2 victory over the Robins at Ebbets Field and the St. Louis victory over the Braves at Boston 10 to 2, it was the second straight Chicago triumph over the Flatbush flock, PHILLIES DEFEAT TAILENDERS Philadelphia, May 9.--Phil Col- ling pitched the Philadelphia Na- tionals to their third successive vic- tory yesterday by defeating Cin- cinnati 8 to 2.

NEWARK SHUT OUT LEAFS 5.0 Toronto, May 9.--As far as the Leafs were concerned, yesterday's rame with Newark was over at the end of the first half of the opening inning. Jess Doyle pitched two-thirds ot that first inning and during his abbreviated stay on the hillock, two triples a double and a single shot off the Bruin bats.

These two maulers are not strangers to one another and although Stokes has improved one hundred per cent. it is a well known fact that Fezzie is one tough bird to put away, if he had not he would have been a goner early in the fight, He stayed right in and had Stokesy all tired out from punching him. Then that bump on the the wonder of it is that he round at all, beezer did not do the local scrapper any good, was able to get out of his corner for the third It was announced during the evening that all the people on the pro- gram were giving their services free of charge and that all smokes were ree as was a great many other things throughout the evening.

The release of the former catcher of the Malleables to the Chevrolets was the cause of the larger part of the arguments. The execu- tive stuck to their constitution and so the catcher may either play for the Malleables again or else remain out of baseball this season, as far as the Oshawa body is concerned. However, Manager Mallett and other members of the Chevrolet club have stated that they will not be content until the Toronto and Provincial body has passed their ultimatum. That is the last step the Chevs. can take and if the release is refused by the provincial exe- cutive then the player and the team hase no alternative but to let things go. The managers of the teams were given until Saturday to get their players' certificates into the secretary. The questions of groundes and scorekeepers and umpires were also discussed but not settled definitely. Members and prospective members of the Oshawa Track and Field Club are asked to turn out this evening for practice at Alexandra Park. Deloro has added another Queen's man to their squad of senior ball players in the person of Bla avant who will seen on the Deloro nine at the conclusion of his studies.
