PAGE EIGHT. YHE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1929 op UGB! Fall Pastime Gets Under Way Throughout Province © "With Exhibition Games Practically All Teams Are fir . i ia "juries, but in No Case is . the Situation Serious ' (By Canadian Press Leased Wire) ; f3aronis, Ont., Sept. 28--Today is a fairly interesting onc from a rugby standpoint, for more teams are sche- dyled to.2ppear in action than there were last week. Intercollegiate and Iterproyincial squads will 'be par- ticularly active, while there is one "official" game scheduled in the Sen- ior' Rugby Football Union, The games are as follows: "Western University-Sarnia Imper- ials, at London. Ottawa Senators-Balmy Beach, at Ottawa. ¥ McGil)-Royal Military College, at Montred, Z "Queen's-Old Boys, at Kingston. Varsity-Argonauts, at Toronto. Camp Borden-Kitchener, at Kitch- enter. (Official, senior O.R.F.U)). 'Early today it had not been'defin- itely announced whether Hamilton Tigers would meet the Cubs in an- ather exhibition fixture today or not, The game had been talked of early in'the week. Balmy Beach arrived in Ottawa early this morning, and are fully pre- pared for their second tussle with the Bytown squad. Their probable ine up, announced before leaving Tor- onto last night, was as follows: Snap, Bob Reid; insides, Smith and McNi- chol; middles, Crowhurst and Maes; outsides, Keith and Snyder; flying wing, Art Snider; quarter, Alex Pon- ton ; halves, Hughes, Harris, Kirkpat- Mek or Lewis. In addition, Coach Hobbs took a strong string of sub- stitutes, and is figured on giving the Senators a battle for the honors, Beach defeated Ottawa last week- end by 13-1, and calculate to repeat. Meanwhile, Coach Joe Miller worked the Senators out lightly last night and had everyonc on the grid except Connell. Miller thinks today's line up will prove much better at holding back the steam-rolling beach- ers, since he has Starr, Lynch, Mon- ohan and Emerson on the field, The probable starters for Ottawa ate: Wings, Draper and Hadley; halves, Multoney and Kchoe; quart- er, Lynch; snap, Bruce; insides, Clarke and" Wilson ; Middleson, Em- crson and Monohian; outsides, Starr and Brassington. Miller, too, has a strong string of substitutes, and both squads arc expected to change lines of "ten, : The McGill-R.M.C,, tilt is expect ed to be a smart one, The Cadets have a squad full of fight, and arc in exccllent condition, while the Mc- Gillians have not been impressive in their early workouts. Injuries have cut the squad down greatly, and it would not be surprising if the King- ston crew downed the mighty McGill, right carly. However, the Montreal | school won last year's championship, and may be able to hold the King stoners with even their deleted squad. Varsity and Argonauts will stage their annual tussle, and this will be the attraction locally. The two squads are ancient rivals, and almost any- thing is likely to happen. The pro- ceeds will be turned over to the Charlie Gage Memorial Fund, and a large crowd 'is expected. Varsity have had hard luck, being deprived of the services of their coach through illness, but it is expected that Coach Douglas may be on the field this af- ternoon to watch the Blués go. "In Sarnia Imperials, the Western mustange arc mecting a mighty fine team, Coach Jack Newton is claim- ing big things for the Oiltown which has Jong been a hotbed of rugby, and it will be a stern test for the new intercollegiate team. Both teams are reported at full strength, and the battle is expected to bring out some smart rugby. ; Queen's and the Old Boys will fur- 'nish the Limestone 'city's excitement, and this should be a fine game. The Old: Boys arc not too aged and de- crepit, cither, They have . Leadley, Chantler and a few of like calibre, and there will be lots. of fun there. McGill Commences Rugby Season Today ---- Montreal, Sept. 28.--The McGill senior football scason will be inaug- urated today at thc Percival Molson Memorial Stadium, when the 1929 successors: of - the Intercollegiate champions tackle the Royal Military College cadets in an exhibition fix- ture. The game will be the only pre- scason match before the red team plunges into the Intercollegiate sche- dule against Queen's here next Sat- urday, A Few names that were unexpect- ed. Jack' Wilson, hefty player from University of British Columbia, was named to start at inside wing; Tom- my Robertson will start at quarter; while Don Young, who finally turn- ed up at the Stadium vesterday, will fill his old spot at outside wing. The McGill backfield is composed of Ralph St Germain, D'Arcv Do- herty anc lle Kritzy The trio have been working together in smooth fashion during the past week. The daring long lateral passes of St. Germain and Doherty have been a featurc of the practices, while most of the' booting was left to Kritz- wiser. { A.Y.M.C. Prepare For Their Annual Minstrel Show Regular meeting of the A Y.M.C. | was held last night, and was well attended. The Club Softball Team which represented Oshawa in the Ontario playoffs, were congratulated by the club on their showing. Mr H. Smith, director of the Minstrel show, stated that the material will be.on hand for the first practcie for the annual show, this Friday, Oct. Badminton was again started and before and - after the meeting the court was occupied by enthusists, A new chain of shoe stores in Germany is selling shoes at $1.75 a pair, AFTER SATURDAY September 28, 1929 GRAY COACH LINES TERMINAL Will Be At HOTEL OSHAWA GRAY COACH LINES INTERNATIONAL : PLOWING MATCH AND FARM MACHINERY DEMONSTRATION Under auspices Ontario Plowmen's 'Association: To be held on GOVERNMENT FARMS; NEAR KINGSTON = OCTOBER 1516-17-18 Send for Official Program to ' J.

A.Y.M.C.-Fittings For: City Softball Title and Trophy On Monday night af the Motor City Stadium starting at 530 AY. M.C. intermediate champions of Oshawa, will battle with the challen- crs, the Fittings, jupior champs 'of shawa for the city softball title, A handsome trophy is the reward for winning this title. This trophy was dein by Messrs Miller and Libby several years ago, for annual -com- petition and 'since that time it has always been captured by an Inter- mediate team, The Fittings, how- ever, are out to spoil that record and a game is assured. . Motor City Stadium is the place, 5.30 is the time and the admission is 15 cents. Varsity Meets Double Blue Today In Annual Game Varsity senior football team went through its paces yesterday after- noon in' the last preparation before meeting the Argonauts in an cxhibi- tion tilt today at the Varsity stadium. The' Blues put in a short but heavy scrimmage practice and some tackling in which all candidates were given a chance, About 60 men went through the practice, and some of the new comers showed some fine class. All of the old standbys were present with the exception of Jimmy Sinclair and Charley Baillie, who will not take part today. It was announced at the practice that JO players will be used, with the starting line-up being as follows: Flying wing, Jack: Harrison; halves, Jack Sinclair and Doug MacFayden ; secondary defence half, Jimmy Sin- clair; quarterback, Billy Bell, who will later be worked in on the half line; at the snap position Johnny Keith will start, while Herb Little and Jack White will be at the inside berths, Middle wings will be George Morgan and Wally Bean, while the ends will be handled 'by Gordie Knowles' and Johnny Stewart. For substitution purposcs almost the complete reserve list will be flung ito action. Jimmy Douglas, the coach of the Intercollegiate squad, will not likely be out, but it is a certainty that he will be well 'enough to handle the practices starting on' Monday after- noon in preparation for. the opening of the college series. PITCHERS DISCUSS THE WORLD'S SERIES New York, Sept: 27--George Earn- shaw, "Philadelphia" Athletics pitcher --what makes the world series so in- teresting for the fans? It is the un- certainty of who will' win it. The Athletics and Cubs are pretty even- ly matched and should put on a great series with interest higher than it has been in some years. The playets of the Athletics have confidence in their ability to beat the Cubs but only after a hard battle. I have had a good year and I expect to finish jt up with a clean record in the world series, Hal Carlson, Cubs pitcher--I don't thinl: anyone ever felt a feeling of greater clation than I did this sum- mer when my arm rounded into shape and | went out and won those victories. I'm ready for the Athle- tics if I'm called on. Surely I'm glad to get into: the scries and you cap rest assured that we'll be out there trying. Of course, [ think 1 ¢an beat Connie Mack's men but we also have several other pitchers who ean do it. Of course, the Cubs will win, STOLEN AEROPLANE WRECKED IN CRASH Occupants Disappear After Old Machine Falls at Riverside Windsor, Sept. 28.--Police of Riverside last night were without knowledge of the identity of the man or men who stole an old Cur- tiss hiplane from a field near the Riverside Brewery last night and crash td about a quarter of a mile away, escaping before the arrival of scores of witnesses, presumably without serious injury. Persons living in the vicinity said the ship circled once above the field before falling, the pilot through lack of skill or because ov. a recalcitrant motor, to gain alti- tude. It was only 25 feet from the ground, they said, when it wen} into a nosedive, and two objects, both large enough to be men, were seen to fall out. = Residents attracted to the scene found the nose of the motor buried in the ground, the propeller splint- ered, the under carriage wrecked, and thef uselage broken off the cockpits, which were more or less intact. .. It appeared that if the oc- cupants had remained in the plane they might have escaped injury. A cordon of about 200 men scoured the field, which is waist high in weeds, but found no trace of the fliers. The plane was the property of Ray Anderson of Tor- onto, and Dewey Lambie, of De- troit, . according to Robert Peet who once owned it and who had been delighted to resell it. Peel, an aviator, lives in Windsor. He is of the opinion, according to the Riverside police, that a pair of air- minded youths, with some slight knowledge of flying, might have taken up the plane. Since the "adoption of the Old Age Pensons Act in the provinces of British Columba, Saskatchewan, and Manitéba, a total of $2,037,- 028 has been paid to 12,002° pen- cayuse sloners, SPORT SNAPSHOTS .

Loud colours and louder yells will be prevalent throughout the afternoon, Speaking of Rugby, the many readers and admirers i "Punts and Tackles" which was published in this paper last: "to learn that this column is to , is a I column entitled year, will be "Punts and Tackles" by the Dop of the special start on Monday. which was started last fall. This column is devoted to the doings and hearsay 'of Oshawa's Intermediate O. R. F. U. entry, the General Motors' "BLUE DEVILS." This section will help the Rugby fans and those who are not yet "fans" but only interested, to keep in touch : with the members and) the happenings of the "BLUE DEVILS." will realize that the BLUE DEVILS are not a Rugby ai By this col the machine but that they are a bunch of young fellows who are doing their share to 'uphold the name of Oshawa in the realm of sport. The Fittings Juveniles, winners of the local Juvenile League, play a return game with North Broadview Juveniles at Motor City Stadium, starting at 6,00 o'clock. Up until last Saturday North Broadview were unbeaten but the Fittings stopped their winning streak to 'the tune of 20 to 4. The Toronto. lads are determined' to show the Fittings that last Saturday's game was not a truc exhibition of their 'ability to play softball and a close and fast game is assured. A win for the Fittings will make them Juvenile Champions of this district which practically means all Ontario as there are few, if any, operation. 'Today sces the opening of the CENTRAL other Juvenile Leagues or teams in BOWLING ' ALLEYS. These alleys are situated over Steel's store and are under the management of Jack Purdie. and the interior has been decorated. All the alleys have been renovated for the coming scason Besides these improvements there arc eight new sets of five pins, two new sets of ducks; and two new sets of tens, The entire building has also been c¢quipped with' new lights. These with other minor improvements make this an alley which the citizens of Oshawa will be proud to patronize, Exciting Finish in Semi-Final Ladies Golf Title Games Hamilton, Sept. 28--A brilliant sec- ond nine holes, which she played in 33, six under par, enabled Miss Helen "Billic" Hicks, of the Inwood Coun- try club, Long Island, to wipe out a three hole lead that Miss Glenna Collett, present holder of the United States women's championship and twice winner of the Canadian open championship, had secured on the first ninc holes of their semi-final match here, yesterday afternoon, and to carry the match to extra holes: On the 20th hole the stocky 18-ycar- old lass holed'out for a four as her oponnent had missed a putt for the half she' advanced to the 36-hole final tomorrow against Miss Edith Quier' of Reading, who vanquished Stewart' Hanley of Detroit, 2 and 1. For once the spectators picked the right match. Generally a match that attracts the gallery fails to produce the anticipated closeness or brilliant golf but.the Hicks-Collett match' this afternoon was everything that had beén anticipated 'and there were many features thrown in for good measure to make the miecting of the two stars one of the greatest matches, without any qualification as to sex, that has ever been staged in Canada, Miss Collett was the favorite to win but there was a large portion of the gal- fery pulling for Miss Hicks, This was partially due to the fact that she is just 'over the threshold of a great golfing career and partly because gallefies like to sec upsets occur. The 36-hole final championship here today, between Misses Helen Hicks and Edith Quicr will start at 10 o'clock, standard time and the af- ternooft round will get under way at two o'clock. The 18-hole final in the 'championship consolation, be- tween Mrs. Harrison of Buffalo and Miss Bernice Wall, of. Oshkosh, will commence at 10.30. WILD HORSES OF B.C. DISAPPEARING Most of Them are Undersiz- ed, Crippled, or Other- wise Useless =. Victoria, B. C., Sept. 27. -- The bunch grass plateaus of British Co- lumbia are gradually being rid of their wild horses. Every year roun- ups are held 'at which 'several thou- sand of the animals are captured, the best of them being sold as mounts or farm horses and the others de« stroyed. : This fall, with a special induce. ment offered the horse wranglers, the catch is likely to be larger than ever. J. W. Durno, of Calgary, has offered to pay fifty cents per hundred weight for wild horses at shipping point for any number up to one thousand head. At the price offered, a 900 pound would fetch $4.50, which would be found money to the owner, while the clearance of the horses would leave so much more feed on the range for the profitable stock. Mr. Durno has not stated how he intends to dispose of the horses, but it is believed that the hams may be expored to European contries, such as Belgitm and France, where horse- flesh is eaten and that the remainder of the carcass may be turned into fertilizer, ¥ Most of the wild horses are under- sized, crippled of otherwise useless for riding or harness purposes. They represent. the off-spring of horses turned loose years ago by operators of pack trains and teams on the Cari- boo Road and other old highways during the gold rush days. For many years they have been a menace to the range country as a result of their inroads on grazing land and their in- fluence on domesticated stock. Strikes, Spares, and Blows At Local Alleys Lady Bowlers! Don't forget that the meeting of the Ladies' Major League will be held at the Motor City Bowling Club, Monday, Scpt. 30th.

But Ernic Dunstall, of The Oshawa Daily Times League, wined him off the board with 303 single. This of course is also high monthly remain as tomorrow is the last day for him to hold it. The lady bowlers are also keeping right up to the standard. Last week's weekly prize went to Alice Harland She got 245 single, Again this is the highest for the month. This week's prize is now being held by Mary Thomson with 230 single, Last but not lcast come the ten pinners. They have been getting a merry lacing, but so far the highest scores to be made were by Jerry McCabe 213 single, beaten by Gord Jacobi 214, very close. A team of five pinners from these | alleys have entered into Karry's Major City League, Toronto. The men are Manning Swartz, Milt Mor- ris, Gord Breamer, Harold Hainer, Peg Mackie and Andy Dobson (cap- tail). They journey every Monday night. Npw if the team rolls as well in Toronto as they do here in the Special Prize Competition, well, after the smoke has cleared away we will let you know the result, Here's wishing you all kinds of luck boys. HNEW JACK LONDON AY A LUMBERJACK Was F ed Becatse He Couldn't Do His Share of Work yi TAG - Vancouver, B. C., Sept. 27.--Jack London may have been in a class by himself in writine about the rugged northland and the people who lived and worked .and battled there, but as a lumberjack he was only so-so, according to E. R, Vipond, who used to run a tie camp in the British Co- lumbia interior in the hobo days of the famous novelist, In fact, Jack London was such a poor hand in getting out timber that Vipond fired him and his companion, both of whom, Vipond recalled, were "always writing letters." "I spotted him as a tenderfoot first thing," says Vipond, who didn't recognize Jack London until years later when he saw the novelist's photograph in a newspaper. "I. gave him and his pal jobs at a tie camp near Lardo," added Vi- pond. "They worked together and said they'd socn learn. Afier two weeks of labor they showed little im- provement, 1 asked an old wocds- man what he thought of them. He said they were fine fellows but spent most of their time writing letters. + "A constable came along one day and suggested that they might be criminals hiding front the law, He looked them over and shook his head They locked innocent enough. But I had to let them go anyway. and likely "to Blue Devils Meeting With Misfortune The Oshawa Blue Devils are now practically certain of the date for their first game. The first game will be played against Niagara Falls in Oshawa, /in- all probability on Satur- day, October 5. The Niagara Falls are a fast fecam and last vear they provided some: stiff opposition be- fore they were finally disposed oi. It is reported that they have ac- quired some new material and that they have an cven better team than last year. , Last night the Blue Devils held a stiff practice, but during the workout an'accident happened which will un- doubtedly mean a lot to Oshawa's chances. Don McKay, half back, had a small bone in his ankle fractured This puts Don out indefinitely and it is a great loss for the Blue Devils, Don, who formerly played with Queen's intermediates, was working exceptionally well and had practical- ly cinched for himself a berth on the half line. Tough breaks never come singly and last night the Blue De- vils received another rap. in the same department. "Wink" Gummow, an- other promising half, who is playing the best rugby of his career, announ- ced that he is out for the season. "Wink," who is a student in the General Motors Course leaves for Flint, Michigan, on Sunday and in- stead of returning to Oshawa in No- vember as expected he will go to Walkerville for November and De- cember, However, to compensate these setbacks we have the news that Bill Trible, regular on last year's squad, will be out in uniform carl next week and Ed. Wilson, who has been out of the practices for some time due to injuries, will also be back Owing to the fact that daylight sav- ing ends today there will be no more regular daylight practices, Star- ting on Monday at 6.30 the Blue De- vils will practice at the p: y the aid of the flood lights f= the grandstand. Permission has been ob tained from the Park's Commission to do this and the workouts will he held under the same conditions as last year, There will be no prac todav, TWO WOMEN INJURED Toronto, Sept. 28.---Two women were hurt, one seriously, when their automobiles collided at Av- enue road and Briar Hill avenue.

Players Pallbearers More than half the small congrega- tion was. made up of men cunnccicd with baseball. All the Yankees, irom little Eddie Bennett, the bat-boy, big Babe Ruth, were there, arriving in a body just before the service be- gan. Eight were pallbearers, Arthur Fletcher, Charles O'Leary, Babe Ruth, Herbert Pennock, Bob Shaw- key, Tony Lazzeri, Lou Gehrig and Earle Combs. The president of both major lea- gues and many team managers, join ed with dozens of players of yester- day's baseball generation in paying their last respects. Flowers from all parts of the coun- try, from his adopted home, St; Pet- cersburg, Fla, and as far away as California, banked the chancel. Al- most cvery well-known organization in baseball was represented and some were from the great rank and file, "just fans." All Games Postponed Every bat and glove in the Ameri- can league was idle today by order of President Banard as a tribute of respect to the manager of the retir- ing world champions. The Rev. J. E. Price, a close friend of Huggins, delivered the eulogy. Speaking in intimate vein, Dr. Price drew a picture of a weary Miller Huggins finding rest at last. v The speaker first paid tribute to his iriend as a baseball manager and then as a man. Likening Huggins to another great little man, Napoleon, he said the Yankee manager's' baseball genius was comparable to the military st.a- tegy of the "jittle corporal."
