THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY AUGUST 14, 1929 DIATE SO BALL PLAYOFFS BY TEXTILES 1 SPORT SNAPSHOTS The start of a round of good times, the awards for winning the ior softball title was an enjoyable supper and evening of entertain' i ment given the Fittings juniors and their executive officers by the parents of Jack Love, the catcher, on Monday evening. The supper i tables were proudly decorated in the club colors and after the repast the team were entertained by a well filled program of music and songs, i Eighteen players and officers were present at the informal evening's en- i * and that instead of fighting him as an amateur his one desire is to fight 3 success or failure so early in the year. ? . » . + tertainment. ! o/s # '» i Following those comments on the fact that the Toronto boxer, | Malcolm Mathewson would like a match with Scotty Adair, we learn ' from Scottie himself, that nothing would suit him better, but we also ~ learn that the Oshawa boxer, has already taken his pro papers out . his first moneyed scrap in his own home town, so why not have a pro . show with Mathewson and himself included on the card. \ *« » 0 Not a bad idea, what? . : Speaking of fighting, Ed Donald and Norm Walker know a thing or two along these lines and though they think it would be a great thing for the fight game in Oshawa if such a show were to be pulled here before the Toronto promoters start their weekly round of shows, it still rests with the fans whether such a fight card would meet with The tough part about these things is that the promoters do not know until it is too late whether the show was a success or a failure, and in the cases of the latter more harm is done than good. sy The desire of the lacrosse fans to accompany the team to Bramp- ton has become enormous to say the least, and with the Company sup- plying as many as nine of their big trucks to take fans that have not cars along the crowd of Oshawans that will swarm the Brampton field on Saturday will all but equal the Brampton home crowd itself, » *® rl LJ Not only are the fans to a man going to this game, but they are taking their own band, a flute band that has been playing here for some time now, the men 'of which are all GM.C. employees are being given one of the trucks on which to ride en masse to Brampton and the re- maining looys will endeavor to follow close behind the musical one. * * * * So that this band has all the numbers that the fans will be likely to eall for they are holding a practice in the General Relations Build- ing tonight at seven thirty and all the fans that would travel with or join this "Rooters Club" when they get there should be on hand to- ! 'night to get full instructions regarding the songs to sing and the time and place for the "takeoff." \ : so & @» "She first rugby call has now been sent out to the players and the ' executives are anxious that all players whether they played last year or not answer it promptly so that the list of all those that intend | turfiing out may be completed as soon as possible and definite steps " taken to get underway. The officers of the club are expecting some tough opposition in the intermediate race this year which makes them want to get the players started on the long road to condition early in order to be able to field a team that will be well drilled in the opening game, «a ® » = Contrary to rumors spread around in the spring the Kitchener- Waterloo clab will remain seniors and not drop back to intermediate ranking. ... x 5 # Textiles were the odds on favorites to win the intermediate, game slayed last night with their closest rivals, Fittings, but at that they yearly upset the dope with some ragged playing in the first few in- ings, this gave the Fittings a lead that was not overcome until well n in the game, ow % Though they won and .if they win again on Thursday the Textiles will have to play a much improved brand of ball than seen last night .. to come anywhere near defeating the first place Anglicans. Not one man in the Textile outfield had a putout while the ball was not hit out there often there was certainly chances that should have been ac- cepted by those same fielders, The four runs that Fittings scored in the first were gifts, handed out in the guise of walks and errors, * * * * In today's columns there is a list of lacrosse playoffs which if offi- cial and adhered to means that Oshawa is getting things rather soft for a change. The Oshawa intermediates have only to wait until Hamil- ton-Fergus and then Maitlands decide who is who and then the locals play the best of the trio, The senior playoffs are not mentioned as all lacrosse fans know who the finalists are in this series. * * * * The Belleville 'seniors took an easy eight to one win from the Deloro nine right in Deloro on Monday which puts them far out in front but does not solve the problem centred around the second place position. With a win tonight the Motors team will be the logical ones for the desired place, but on the other hand the Peterboro nine can also become a threat by winning this game here, so do not think that every ball player in the park will not be trying, they want that second place position perhaps more so than they want the leadership. * * * * If a person were to have a lapse of memory for a few days, forget- ting that Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and most of Thurs- day had passed, also forget toy balloons, ice cream cones, paper hats and all those things that are part and parcel of a gigantic picnic and then walked into Alexandra Park tomorrow evening hé or she would be thinking that the General Motors picnic was still the order of the day, so great are the arrangements that are now complete for the play- ing of the finals in the softball tournament and the girls' softball game along with tug-of-war activities, fireworks and music, . _ * * * * Of course, this dumbell would have to forget travelling from Lake- view Park to Alexandra Park along with many other minor happenings during those five days. 2 2.x » J If that is not the silliest way of saying that the arrangements for the finals are well thought out, you try and think of some way more stupid. { Kitchener Will Remain Senior Bl not likely play.

Textiles Take Ragged Win From Fittings in Semi-Final F Darkness Halts Game in Eighth -- Textiles Win by Out-hitting opponets. Five Errors by Both Teams -- Second Game To-morrow Night. Textiles were victorious in the first game of the playdowns in the Intermediate Softball Series winning from Fittings in a poorly played affair by 12 to 8. No doubt the long lay off was responsible for the exhibition, especially in the pitching dept. A total of four- teen walks were issued by the moundsmen with Wilson - being more liberal than Wills by 9 to 5 respectively, The outfielders of both teams had a comparatively easy night. C. Elliott having the only put out of the game for either team. From the start it looked as though Fittings were going to pull an upset when they scored four times in the first frame com- pared to a pair of runs annexed by Textiles. "Tex settled down for an inning and held the out, but in the third the Fittings landed another pair. Two more in the fifth was their allottment while Textifes counted five in the fourth, three in the fifth and one in both seventh and eighth to take the first game. Texiles more than doubled the hits on the losers while the errors were even, Gower of the Fittings was the only "Babe" of the game.

Softball is not to be the only fea- ture of thic added evening of enter- tainment as there will be a tug of war battle between the police depart- ment of the company and the body room, the winners at the pienie, along with a girls' game between the picked team from the factory and the all star.team from the office. And that is not all, there are to be fireworks and music during the even- ing which will all go to make a fit- ting wey of completing the sporting program that the rain on Saturday brought to an abrupt end. In the softball finals there are four teams all ready to play off the finalists in group A and the same in Group B. In the first group there are the Paint Shop opposing the Of- fice West Wing and the game should provide plenty of action as the Paint Shop are a team that has been play- ing together all season under the name of the Duco Boys, and they are one of the smart teams that operate in the South Ontario league while the Office team has Alex Webster pitching, which says a great deal. The personnell of these two teams is as follows: Paint Shop--Stocks, Keith, Petrie, Reeves, Crouter, Cardinal, Petrosky, Luke and *Little. Office West Wing--Bond, Webster, Conlin, Brand, Brown, Elliott, Baird, Simmons, Mossworthy, Subs.--Row- den, Hood, McDougal. . In the B. Group Exports oppose Parts and Service and a glance at the names on the line-ups will assure all of the brand of ball that will be played, nearly every name of which appears regularly in connection with some softball team in the city so that they are all experienced players on both of these teams. The players: Exports--Russell, Hinks, Cornish, Hubbell, Tyrell, Wilson, McCallum, Polson, Crimback. ' Subs, Hewett and Walker. Parts and Service -- Luke, Healy, Kilburn, Drinkle, Corrin, Trotter, Little, Smith and Glenney.

"It Wont Be Long Now" Says Officer Of Blue Devils A meeting of the executive officers of the General Motors Rugby Foot- ball Club was held last night in the General Relations Building on Wil- liam street and the result was that a number of important items of business in connection with the run- ning of the Club during the coming year were discussed and dealt with in a way that these executives saw fit. The most of the matters con- cerned the looking after of the players during the coming season and also during the training season and from all indications there will be no stone left unturned to secure for the local footballers the best in the coming year, Although the most of the business discussed was "inside" dope other matters were also thrashed out and in every case whether small or large in' import the decision reached was the most logical that could be reach- ed. The most important detail of the lot was the date set for com- mencement of activities and as a re- sult notice will be sent to all players in the city, both last year's and pros- pective players, regarding the first of- ficial practice. In order to get the names of all new players that may have arrived in Oshawa since the close of last season, or any others that did not play last year, but who have been entertaining the idea these new and old players are asked to send their names into the secre- tary of the Club, Neil Hezzlewood at 400 Simcoe Street North or phone him at 751. For their convenience others that will take the names for the secretary are, Murray Johnston, Johnstons Clothing Store, Coach Cliff Pound, 296 Richmond street, phone 3076, or the Sporting Editor of the Oshawa Daily Times. The different committees were all found to be complete and their work was lined out for them and after they signified their intentions of do. ing their best the entire assembly arose and extended to Mr, Nicoll, director of Personel, the best wishes to the Lacrosse Club in the coming games with Brampton, Eastern and Western teams, as the case may be, Careful selection has given us the finest quality in our used stock we have had all season.
