THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, TUESDAY, JUNE 11, 1929 NDLEAGUE OPENING ATTRACTS LARGE CROWD OFFANS Oshawa Ladies Softball League Opening Attracts Large Crowd of Followers Chevs and Whitby Ladies Win Short ibition Games -- Both Close Scores and Cause Much Excitement > ,An ideal evening and the chance to see all four teams on the field at the same time combined to bring a large crowd to the mew Rotary softball diamond that has been turned over to the girls for their league games. The Oshawa Ladies' Softball lea- gue last night held their official opening at their new park and of- fered as attractions a parade 710 the grounds, two ball games, and the presence of His Honor Mayor 7. B. Mitchell. These three at- tractions and the delay in starting the league were accountable for the record crowd that thronged the park on all sides fo see the exhibi- tion games that resulted in a win for the Whitby Ladies over the Malleable Iron girls in the first game, and a 6 to 3 win for the Chev Ladies, from their rival motor girls, the Marquettes (Buicks). G. D. Conant, president of the 'Oshawa Rotary addressed the throng, stating that they, the crowd were indirectly a donor of the park, as their generosity during the Ro- tary street fairs that have been held made ft possible for the Ro- tary Club to own and hence to donate the park to the use of the Ladies' Softball League. Mr. Con- ant then thanked the General Mo- tors for their work and the ex= pense they were put to in putting the park in playing shape. His worship the mayor, was next to speak and he, too, thanked the people for the future support that will be a big factor in making the league a success during the 1929 season. Mr. H. W. Nicoll also spoke a few words on behalf of the Gen- eral Motors. Mr. G. R. Holden spoke on behalf of thé Ladies' Softball League and thanked the Rotary Club, the General Motors, the merchants that are donating prizes and the people for their ap- parent interest in the girls. The opening lineup had Mayor T. B. Mitchell pitching, H. W. Ni- coll catching, and G. D. Conant at bat, on the first good one over Mr. Conant drove out a screaming single past the honorable ear and the season was on. The chocolates offered by Jury & Lovell"s for the longest hit on each team were won by Effie Wat- .son of the Whitby Ladies with a two base hit and Clara Larson of the Malleables with a three base lit that went over the fielder"s head and into the .crowd. In the second tilt, Mabel Elliott won the candy on the Chevs, with a three base hit, while three of the Mar- yuettes were entitled to the prize, they arranged the gift in a most agreeable manner, and everything was rosy in the gardens. Whitby 14, Malleables 10 The first game was a touch and go affair with a generous sprinkl- ing of hits throughout the four inning game, each team were hit- ting the other pitcher equally hard and the runs per innings were of a sufficient number to keep bush teams on edge, while their side was to bat. The issue was not decided until the fourth, the last innings, when the Whitby Ladies broke a ten all deadlock with a series of walks and hits at the right time to score four runs, and then set- tled down to play ball and let the opposing team down with one hit and no runs to win the game, four- teen to ten.

Chevs and Marquettes In the second game, ah, that was a game, and the crowd were about evenly divided in their sup- port of the two motor teams. The Chev ladies won the game by get- ting in one valuable inning and slugged 'their way to victory by batting in five runs, enough to hold the opposing team with, in the short game. The game was fast baseball on the part of both teams, the batters being retired in double quick time. The Marqu- ettes, the first to bat, got one nn, the hitter dying on. second base when her team mates were put out by means of two strikeouts ana a pop fly. The Chevs did no better, getting a base on balls, the base runner was also left on the bag when her mates flied out to the catcher, the second and third base girl. The second inning was a rep- etition of the first, with the excep- tion of the Chevs, wha forced their one hit around the bases for a run. In the third the Chevs scor- ed five by three hits, two errors and one walk, while the Marquettes were again shut out. In the fourth the Marquettes secured one run and in the fifth, an added inning, the same team got two more To |, bring the score to 6 to 3. Chevs--I. Goold, 1b; D. Ken- nedy, 3b; E. Elliott, ss; M.

Sh Babe Ruth and Wife * Attend Baseball Game New York, N.Y,, June 11,--Babe Ruth may be too. ill to play base- ball these days, but he can't keep away from the game that made him famous. With his wife, the former Claire Hodgson, the Babe was an interest- ed spectator at Sunday's game be- tween the Yankees and the Browns, ; He stood up and cheered when his friendly rival, Lou Gehrig, hit his 13th home run, and was dis- suaded only with difficulty from tossing away his expensive, hat when "Columbia Lou" shot his 14th into the right field bleach- ers later in the game. : OSHAWA WIN FROM ST. GEORGE'S The game on Saturday last bes tween St. Georges and the Oshawa Club, proved quite interesting from a playing point of view. As this was a friendly match, both teams played fifteen men. Oshawa won with a '126 to 117 score. The play was marked by two fine batting performances. G. Dew- berry, the St. George's captain, played right through the innings. Going in first, he defied all the bowlers, and was undefeated at the end of the innings. He played masterful cricket for his score of 73, and made no mistake, except for a very hard chance he gave the bowler, for a catch, It was a "hot" return, and the bowler would have earned considerable merit if he had held it. It was a fine exhibition of batting through- out. H. Longbottom, of the Oshawa Club, also bated finely. He with- stood the bowlers attack, and gave a good all round display for his score of 50, and never gave a chance. He also carried his bat through. Both batsmen were re- corded a hearty reception by their comrades, and opponents alike, at the 'end of their respective innings. Although the wicket favored the batsmen, the bowlers of both sides earned credit by their persistence, in their endeavors to beat the bats- men. The bowling analysis is as fol- lows: : Oshawa--Pickup, 4 for 23; Ho- warth, 2 for 22; Haley, 0 for 4; Mann, 2 for 14; Langtree, 1 for 14; Longbottom, 2 for 21. St. George's--Diamond, 4 for 30: Phillips, 4 for 32;Dewbery, 0 for 13; Chappell, 0 for 12; Mer- rick, 3 for 23; Allen, 0 for 11. ROYALS DEFEAT NEWAnn Newark, June 11.--The Mont- real Royals outhit Newark in the third game of their series here yes- terday, but the Bears' made their blows count and took an 8 to 6 de- cision. Chick Davies, southpaw twirler, was nicked for 5 hits, but he was most effective with men on the bases. Davies contributed three hits in his own behalf and drove in two runs, ELECTROCUTED CLIMBING WIRE Belleville Student Touches * Line Wire Carrying 44,000 Volts Belleville, June 11.--Kenneth Thompson, 17, collegiate student of Trenton, was electrocuted yes- terday when he came in direct con- tdct with a live wire carrying 44,000 volts.

AMERICAN YANKS GOING STRONG New York, June 11.--The Yank- ees won their fifth game in as many starts from the St. Louis Browns yesterday, taking a pitcn- ing duel between Waite Hoyt and Alvin Crowder by a 3 to 2 score. LOSE GAME IN 1 INNING Washington, June 11.--Three runs in the first inning, including Falk's home run, plus another tally in the sixth, yesterday gave the Cleveland Indians a 4 to 3 vic- tory over Washington. After the one bad inning, Irving Hadley settled down and out-pitch- ed Joe Shaute, but the damage had already been done. GROVE WINS SIXTH STRAIGHT Philadelphia, June 11.--Lefty Grove- won his ninth game of ine season and sixth in a row yester- day by pitching the Philadelphia Athletics to a 3-1 victory over the Chicago White Sox. Yesterday's victory, following a defeat at the hands of St. Louis last Friday, enabled the Athletics to retain their season's record of not losing two games in a row. WILD PITCHING LOSES GAME Boston, June 11.--Three succes- sive passes by Pitcher Charley Ruf- fing in the seventh, inning after Heilmann had singled gave the De- troit Tigers a 1 to 0 vietory over the Red Sox here yesterday, Rujr- fing issued only one other base on balls and yielded only four nus, The Sox threatened in the ear- ly innings, but remarkable field- ing by the visitors prevented a score. In the 'second inning, with two out, Wiliams doubled, and after Berry had walked Ruffing singled sharply to left, but John- son's perfect throw to Shea 'cut off 'Williams at the plate. iors here. Jack Ogden Pitches Tomorrow Tomorrow brings the Peterboro senior nine here for the second time during the early season, to- morrow will see a slightly differ- ent General Motors team opposing them and they will be just as strong though. the changes effect the positions of the infield a little. Jimmy Quinn, who has been doing the receiving duties on the local nine has been taking a rest owing to a sore hand, and he will continue the rest period while his duties will be taken over in the Peterboro game by Elliott, second baseman. Elliott is an all round ball player and plays equally as well in -any position on the field and with the added practice be- hind the plate that he has been working at, will have no trouble in holding down the duties of Quinn during this game, On second in the place of Quinn, manager Matt Sutton will caper, and that says a lot, for Matt can hold that position with any of them, it being his regular place the baseball diamond. / The fans have not as yet had a chance to see Jack Ogden work this year but tomorrow he will start against the Petes and should be able to hold them to scattered hits, this will be Ogden's only full game this year, the only time he has been used. is one inning in the games on Saturday and in that he showed that he could still throw them up. The remaining positions will be about the same as usual with Lit- tle at third, McCallum at first and Morrison and Young vieing for the short stop place, while the out- field will have Gray, Rowden, Carver and Fair to do the chasing, if any, The Petes will have they same squad of veterans down for the game and fully expect to take a win out of Oshawa and thereby take the lead as well. HEAVY CHAMP WINS IN MONTREAL Montreal, June 11.--Dynamite Gus Sonnenberg, once of Dartmouth University and now of Providence, R.I., retained possession of his world's heavyweight wrestling championship before 7,000 specta- tors at the Mount Royal Arena here last night, throwing Charlie Olsen, Scandinavian challenger, twice within 68 minutes. Sonnen- berg took the first fall in 39:35 minutes after three of his deadly flying tackles had rendered Olsen practically uneonscious. SPORT SNAPSHOTS The way that the girls softball Er has taken a hold on the fans and followers of Oshawa was well indicated last night by the large crowd that entirely surrounded the field and third base bank at the opening of the league. It is to be thankful that the games will not all be double header as the crowd that attends these games impedes the play with their continual creeping out in the outfield. Last night they could not be kept back and every short once in a while the outfield had been practically taken over by spectators that were anxious to see every play that took place, . You can not blame them,as there was some smart baseball played last night and if the same size crowd continues to play, ropes will have to be stretched along the foul lines as far as the outfield so as the players have a chance of fielding the ball and at the same time give one and all the spectators a chance to witness the game, One thing that stuck out last night was:the snappy new uniforms that the Marquettes are now wearing, having discarded the name of the Buicks. They now have a classy red and black outfit that was an improvement on their last ycars suits, And they are playing real baseball, They held the Chevs to six hits in five innings by means of smart ficlding and a pitcher that had the most of the heavy hitters popping up weak Hys. inning however and romped around The Chevs got in one good for five of the six runs, amid the excited cries of the crowd, which was even split as to feelings, and those same feelings run high. The Whitby Ladies came back last night, but not with a vengeance and they can still play better ball, They were. forced to the limit to defeat the Malleable girls and this they did by a conbination of walked batters and hits at the right timc to score four runs in the last inning. The chocolataes won by the girls for their longest hits were appreciated by them and others. In the Marquette game, the new motor girls had three that were equally deserving of them( they arranged this difficulty easily enough and the three batters decided to sec that they were looked after O.K. The Anglicans have another victory to their credit, this time defeating the Fittings, a team that is going to give all others a run for the silverware, The score of the game was 2 to7, not overwhelming but sufficient to show that the A.Y.M.C. were the team with the upper hand, Tonight the intermediates (had you forgotten them?) will practice. at Alexandra Park in preparation for their next game.
