PAGE EIGHT THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1930 WINNERS DECLARED IN EACH SECTION OF TOM THUMB TOURNEY Large Crowd of Interested | Spectators Attend Finals Men's : With 45--Winners Repre- sent Oshawa in Ont Tourney at Sunnyside, Toronto, on Saturday With all the glamour of a real goif tournament, the local district tourney of the Tom Thumb Golf course was concluded last night and the winners in each section, who will represent Oshawa in the Ontario tourney in their class were decided. There was a large crowd on hand to witness the final matches and the spectators wefe almost as excited as the players. A large gallery follow- ed the different groups around and the competition in cach class was very keen, the Juniors having the honour of turning in the most ex citing finish, The Juniors started out at 7.30 p.m. When each players had completed his round it was found that Warner James and Jack Lander were tied with 43 apiece, the best scores turn- ed in last night in tournament com- petition. These two players played off and provided a thrilling match with a sensational finish. At the twelve hole, Lander was three shots down 'but he continued to try hard and by good playing and a great " "hole - in - one" in the sixteenth tied up the score. He drop- ped one shot on the seventeenth when he missed a foot putt to count three. James took two and then ended the match when he shot the eighteenth hole in one. Lander also got a onc and the match ended to 48 with Warner "Buss" James winning the Junior cup. The other results were G. Goodchild, 47; Doug- las Norris, 52; Frank Young, 49, Glenn Lander, 51; Frank Gragg, 54; Eugene Kearney, 51; Sam Dime, 46; Orville Warner, 51; Miss 'L. Brock- man, 53 and Miss L. Cstrain, 60. Miss L. Purdie Wins Ladies' Miss L. Purdie won the Ladies' trophy with a fine score of 48. Mrs. Jackson was second with 50. The other scores were Mrs. J. Hambly, 56; Mrs. Boxford, 56, and Mrs. Mur- phy, 64. Nervousness seemed to af- fect the majority of the players and their scores were mot as good as many they have made. 45 Wins Men's Cup The men seemed to fall away be- low their usual form and many play- ers went down to defeat on scores which would be considered very poor by them. The rigours and trials of a tournament competition apparently proved too much for the members of the "stronger sex." The Men's Trophy was won by Mr. Boxford who shot a nice game of 45. The next nearest scores were 47, of which there were quite a few The other results were: Burns, Campbell, 50; Higgins, 47; Ord, Windross, 50; Lovell, 49; Purdie, Doyle, 54; Horton, 49; Bateman, | Arkless, 48; Thompson, 52; Naish, 54, and Vickery, 57. ] G. Campbell won the "No Handi- cap" competition and J. L. Lovell won the Lucky Number prize which was 61. Many persons: had this number and 'the lucky ticket was drawn from a hat. 60; 52; TUESDAY'S WINNERS AT BOB-O-LINK COURSE Dr. L. E. Hubbell and Miss Read of. 128 Stacey Ave., were the winners for Tuesday. Thos. Baker and Alex Dodwell won the Wed- nesday prizes.

Sarnia Collegiate North Bay Juniors Protest Being Considered Brantford, Oct. 16,--The delayed protest from North Bay over the game played here on Saturday has put through and accepted by Presi- dent Major MacArthur as being in time, the latter stating that he had allowed the Black Cats extra time owing to the distance they are away from the scene of activities. The protest is based on the allegation that the Brantford catcher tipped the bats of the North Bay players and when attention was called to the fact by the North Bay manager, the umpire said the batters were standing too far back, Attention of the umpires was called and they did not allow the batters the room the rules called for.

Ottawa, Oct.16 -- When Ottawa Senatorsline up against Montreal Am ateur Athletic Associatio. in the op- ening Interprovincial Rugby Union game here Saturday, Dave Harding vill not be in uniform for the second time in three games. The ex-Camp Borden half-back suffered injuries to his head and face when he. was struck by an automobile Tuesday at the Ottawa Air Station, Rockliffe, and will not take part in the clash with the Montrealers. Harding was taken to the hospital und an X-ray showed that his in- juries were not serious. It is expect- ed that he will be back at practice early next week, but his absence will force Coach Dr. Andy Davies to use his younger set of backs on Satur- day. Steps have already been taken by Coach Davies to fill the gap left by the former Camp Borden star's ab- sence. Edgar Mulroney, Basil Shee- han and Bill Walker will carry the burden of the backfield duties against M.A AA.

There was a parade, 'Headed by a band, fire- works and a civic reception to the successful feam" at the City Hall square, the players being ocngratu- lated by members of the City Council on their hard-earned victory and for the honor they had brought to Galt. Wibble Kress and Gord Bradshaw were pronounced the heroes, the for- mer for his great pitching feat and the latter for stealing second and third in that hectic ninth to count the tying run. Vie. Brown also was in the limelight, having started the tenth inning rally that meant victory. The Terriers will now meet Creigh- ton Mines, Northern champions, in a doubleheader here Saturday, with the first game at 1.30. If a third game is neccessary it will be played Monday.

He takes a very prominent part in the activities of the Oshawa City Hockey Club but today we wish to tell of his connection with the General Motors "Blue Devils". Believe it or not, but this young man is the person who is almost entirely responsible for the popu- lar column, which runs on this page every other day, entitled, "Punts and Tackles". "The Dope. ster" 'has been writing this col. umn for the past three years, hay- ing been a member of the Blue Devils since it was organized, in fact, he is one of the boys who first approached the General Mot ors to ask for backing. As he can casily be recognized, by reading his writings, "Hank" is an excel- lent writer and quite a "wit", Be. sides his weakness for rugby, he prefers "Society Brand". "Hank" learned about rugby, up in the fields near Park Road. Later, he played some rugby at the Oshawa High School, playing for the School team in 1924, '25, '26 and '27. Despite his good size, of 190 pounds, five feet, eleven inches and twenty-two years . of age, "Hank" has a habit of acquiring at least one "shiner" a season. He has had one already this season so is liable to increase his batting average. These "valour decora- tions" are obtained in the pursuit of his duties at the position of "middle". He did not play against St. Kitt's, here on Saturday but he will be renewing his acquaint- ance with "Porky" Peart, "Duke" Diggins and the Pucini Brothers this Saturday. of Labor. Every day the exhibition will be opened by a famous woman, including Miss Marjorie Foster, win. ner of this year's King Prize at Bis ley. A man will not be admitted un. less he is escorted by a woman. Who is the Bachelor Girl? The answer Is, according to the prospec- tus of Exhibition, "She is the out- post of a new civilization as yet only dimly hinted at and scarcely visua- lised by the people of today." Her career? "If favored by fortune ft might be dog-breeding or horserac- ing; if not so favored her choice is unlimited." Her raiment? "In the office she is the acme of quiet taste." But, says tho author, "She flings de- corum to the winds when home." Her cigarettes and chocolates, are selected with special care. She is a born decorator and furnisher. She is thearbiter in all matters of office furnishing. Skippers Peeved As Boat Race is Called Off Again Gloucester, Mass, Oct. 16--Two angry skippers. returned to port last night, angry with a race committee that called off a fisherman's race in a 40-mile wind, a heaving sea and successive rain squalls that at times limited visibility to 200 yards. The angry skippers were Captain Angus. Walters, skipper of the schooner Bluenbse, champion of the Canadian fishing fleet and Captain Charlie Johnson, who sailed as sub- stitute skipper for Captain Ben Pine aboard the Gertrude L. Thebaud, Captain Ben was confined to a Bos- ton: Hospital, suffering from sinus in- fection, but he left his sick bed to listen to reports of the race. Captain Angus had the greater cause for complaint, for in the bad going Bluenose had piled up a lead of more than two miles at the 12- mile mark. The committee called the race off as the two schooners and the com- mittee itself were searching for the 18-mile mark in the rain squall. Blue- nose's inability to find the mark gave Thebaud time to come up and it was then that the committee hoisted the recall signals. GREEK MEETING GREEK (Woodstock Sentinel Review) It has long been a matter of speculation what would happen if a dominating personality encoun- tered another dominating person- ality and the solution is no nearer than that of the problem of what takes place when an irresistible force meets an immovable body.

Kohen was working out at quarter, also last night and witn @ very little more practise will be able to fill in at a moment's no- tice. This dual role of Kohen's, being able to play both outside and quarter, will make him one of the most valuable men on the team, A full turn-out with the excep- tion of Alex (Julius) Gray who fs still suffering from injuries sus- tained at Queen's was on hand to greet the coach when he arrived to take over his arduous duties. He was very pleased and was even good' natured enough to predict a victory on Saturday, We see that the * stellar Duke Diggins will be on hand for the game Saturday, That baby sure is a tricky boy on a backfield and last year he very nearly put a crimp fp the future activities of the Blue Devils with his classy work. His specialty is getting away kicks right under the noses of the opposing line-men. He is the uearest thing to Jack Sinclair in this respect that we have ever seen. Some good work is expected from him and po doubt he and his side-kick Porky Perts will provide some strenuous opposition for our local hopefuls. . - LJ "The Porker", Baturday, proved himself one the hardest working boys in the game. He wasn't satisfied with carrying the ball two plays out of three but he had to go down un- der every kick. And when we had the ball he played secondary de- fense for the first two downs and then went back to take Hubbell's lofty hoist on the last down. The only other man who could do this successfully was Warren Snyder the famous war-horse of Varsity. . Come over to St, Catherines and see your gang in action on a foreign field.

OTTAWA ATHLETE SHOT T0 DEATH BY UNKNOWN GUNMAN Slaying Follows Quarrel Over Minor Automobile Accident as usual last of Ottawa, Oct. 16--~Without a word of warning, W. Bert Marshall, aged 25, well-known young basketballer, was shot to death in an argument ov- er a petty automobile accident in Huil tonight. The killer, described as a tall, fair young man speaking with an English accent, fled in an auto- mobile, whil¢ police of Ottawa and Hull and Qdcbee: and Ontario Prov- incial officers swarmed over the dis- trict in pursuit, Returning to Ottawa in an auto- bile, Marshall and Arthur Ash stop- ped at the Hull terminal of the Ot- tawa street car line to buy a bag of peanuts: As they parked their car another automobile rammed them from behind. Ash alighted to inspect the - damage and a man also came from the other machine.. While they were discussing the affair, which in- volved only damage to a fender, Marshall came from Ash's car and inquired what the discussion was a- bout. Fires Without Warning Then another -man . stepped from '| the car béhind. "Looking for trou ble?" he enquired. When Marshall replied in the negative, the man whipped a revolver from his pocket and shot Marshall through the heart. As the young athlete dropped to. the sidewalk, the killer returned to the car, and, turning it, fled out the Ayl- mer Road. His companion disappeared in the crowd before Ash could hold him, The number of the slayer's car was taken, and. police anticipate little trouble in arresting him.

Maple Leafs Wins First Game of Ontario Final Toronto, Oct. 16--Before a crowd of 2000 fans, many of whom came from Hamilton, Maple Leafs, Toron- to senior girls' softball champions, defeated Hamilton Gurry's 14. to. 7, at the Sunnyside Stadium by flood~ light last night in the first game of the Ontario finals. The Leafs earn cd their margin by clean hitting and smarter fielding, the visitors having seven errors and outhit 16 to 7. Marg. Devere, on the mound for the winners, fanned 12 batters and walked only one, while Lily Connol« ly struck out four of the Leafs and walked three. Annie Miller, Bobby Rosenfeld and Eva Hickey, with three hits each in five times up, were the locals" big: hitters, and Marjorie Brown had a homer with one on base for Gurry's in the fourth. Miss Connolly, the next batter. up in that frame, clouted a triple and scored on Ruth Linkert's single, but the rally ended there. "Jimmy" Kendall and Margaret Hay collected two hits a- picce for the Hamilton team. Misses Rosenfeld and Miller fea- tured in the field for Maple Leafs and Misses Geeling and Sirman for Gurry's Before the second 'inning, the crowd stood in silence for a minute in sympathy for Pete Irwin, Lake- sides' Coach, whose mother died this week. Maple Leafs journey to Hamilton on Saturday afternoon for the return game, which will be played at Scott Park at four o'clock. If a third game is necessary, the teams will toss to see whether it will be in Hamilton or Toronto.

McDonald was very scornful when he referred to the abilities of the aldermen and he suggested that at the next munfeip- al election each ward shousu re- turn a woman to the council board along with two men. The speaker also commented that the city engineer was receiving a salary of $6,000 a year and that this was much too large an amount to pay for the services ofthis offici- The unemployed were urged to stick together by their leader, who pointed out that largely through the agitation which they had creat- ed, the city council had taken steps to provide work for 200 jobless men. Over 150 were present at the meeting and McDonald's remarks were loudly cheered. "Politicians are all thick-headed old fools," declared a writer, This, of course, is not true.

The game lacked punch owing to the onesided score. The contest was a scheduled W.0.8.8.A. senior clash. . Chatham had a fairly well bal- anced team, but the players lacked the experience and ability to take advantage of the breaks afforded them 'The locals, on the other hand presented the characteristic smooth finish of most of the Sarnia C. I. teams in the past 15 years. Claxton, white-haired halfback of the locals, had four touchdowns to his credit, with Proutt, Turnbull and Lawson ,each taking a try.

In the first in- ning, Milfon chalked up four runs, two of them resulting when Tolet- ska batted far into centre field for a four-bagger. He repeated his heavy hitting in the second and drove in one more run. In_ the seventh inming, A. Clement and Pride each clouted the pill to round the circuit and bring in runs. Coniston's lone tally came in Abe second when Bray hit a triple to centre field and scored on Blake's sacrifice. Three northern hurlers were re- tired in the first two innings after Milton had piled up ten runs on six hits. Simms was pulleq after Toletska made the second circuit drive, and before the inning was over Discher and L. Cresswell took their turns on the mound, while, with two out, Milton scored four runs, Only in the first fnning did five Conistpn men come to the plate, while in the second the en- tire Milton team batted; while two players had an extra try, and in the seventh three came up for a second bat. OCTOBER'S MOODS October is a harlequin Pied in red and green, Whose nimble feet go dancing Where sleepy Summer's been; A leaping, prancing fellow cunning, clever blade, With a childish love of laughter And a kiss for every maid, October is a troop of horse In scarlet jackets gay, With helmets plumed and golden In glittering array; With lilting bugles in the van And guidons on the flank, They canter lightly up the hills In easy straggling rank. October is a mighty host Which moves with - ponderous treat, With clashing brass and roaring drum And banners at is head; With neighing steeds, and blazoned shields, And richly vested knights It sweeps across the valley And thunders up the heights.

ROBERT AMES Errors by St. George's Team Enables Galt Terriers to Snatch 10- St. George's Lead Going In» Inning Victory to Ninth Inning When First Man Up Walks, Scoring on an Error and Wild Throw, With Two Men Out, to Tie Up Game --Fighting Terriers Win Great Victory to Entes Finals for Ontario Champs ionship Hamilton, Oct. 16.--Unable td hold a one-run lead through the final half of the ninth inning, St. George's of Toronto dropped theig semi-final 0.B.A.A. series with the Galt Terriers here yesterday afters noon, losing the third and decide ing game of the play-offs, 4 to 3. Galt will now meet Creighton Mines for the senior. amateur championship of the province, The largest crowd that has wits nessed an amateur game in Scots Park here for four years turned out to see a thrilling battle--a conflict that produced many feat- ures, including powerful hurling by the Toronto veteran, "Irish" Rasson, and Wilbur Kress, Galt star, With the exception of one inning for either club, in which runs in clusters of two were ex- changed, the struggle was closely fought, with St. George's making but seven off Rasson. The differ- ence in the teams was afield, where the Terriers fielded faulte lessly, while St. George's inserted four errors, three of which proved costly. ' Galt stepped into an immediatd lead, garnering a pair of tallies in the opening frame when Bradshaw doubled, with two down, and Watts followed with a single. An error by Green and Hoffman's single followed to count the tale lies. The Saints evened in their half of the third, Rasson singling in front of Buchanan's double to deep left centre, and Britton fol« lowing the backstop with a shars single that provided the tying run, Britton Hits Homer From then on the contest was & bruiser, with the rival hurlers bearing down at every stage. In the sixth Kress wavered moment. arily, long enough for Britton to put his team. in front with 8 mam- moth home run over the deep, left field wall, and while Kress turned the Saints back in order from then on, it remained for the fight- ing Terriers to furnish the final thrills. Trouble started in - the ninth when Bradshaw was passed tol open. Watts and Hoffman were easily disposed of, but Quinn, who had been a minor threat previous- ly, 'slapped a ground ball back a¥ Rasson. The latter came in a step too far and the ball bounced off his glove, Quinn reaching first be« fore Rasson could get the bail over. When the throw did come, it was wild and it was easy fon Brashaw to score with the tying run, : In the tenth Brown opened fos Galt with a vicious double past first base and Kress turned bad baseball into good when he bounced a lucky single over Green's shoulder instead of sacri- ficing. Mellanby, next up, went to the plate with the obvious inten tion of squeezing Brown in, but as he dumped the first ball down the first hase line, Brown stood flate footed. : Errors Are Costly Mellanby held up on the line, preventing Sniderman from tage ging him, and the latter was forced to throw to the plate to head off Brown, who had started a belated spurt for home. The throw was too high fo Buchanan to gef and the winning run was soft. Watts and Jones turned in spec tacular fielding plays to shine, but the rival hurlers were really tha outstanding stars, with Britton and Bradshaw the leading hitters, Tonight--Friday with i Boyan pa Mickey ' Mouse Cartocn HEDDA HOPPER. | Comedy .
