THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, MONDAY, APRIL 27, 1931 )SHAWA SOCCER TEAMS BOTH LOST GAMES BY ONE-GOAL ~-- pul SR MARGIN § Nationals Had Hard Luck In * Losing to Congasgos Team At Toronto on Saturday Gas Boys were certainly lucky to collect the two points. The wea- ther was miserable when the teams took the fleld, Nationals won the toss but there was little advantage as the wind was blowing across the ground, ¥ ; Play at the start was slow, nei- ther team seeming to strike any combination. The Gasmen set up a defensive game and defiled all efforts of the Nats to break through. It was end to end play with neither team looking dang- erous. The failure of the Nats. lay with the halfs. In the first half the Nats'. left wing was starv- ed, consequently leaving the Con- gasco defence with only the right Failed to Take Ad- ntage of Chances, Pen- Team Won by Score of 1 to 0 'Nationals lost their first league ne aganst Congasico oh Satur- r no other reason than loose . It was a hard game to lose | the Nats. were superior in play seemed to lack finish. The wing to deal with. The only real bright spot in the game was the wonderful defensive play of NDavid- son and Jarvis, especially the lat- ter. - Jarvis' play was real class, more by the fact that he got little support from his halves. Both goals were intact at half time. The second half opened a lLttle brighter. Nats. took up the of- fensive and raided the home goal time and again, but with the same result, poor finishing. Play had gone twenty minutes of the second half when Congasco broke away but were pulled up. Sturch got possession, but instead of sending the ball to his wing, placed it right at the feet of the Congasco centre A short scrimmage in the 18-yard line followed and Congas- co scored the only goal of game. Nats. at this point mad2 a re-ar- rangement in the forward line, but with little good. Hunter whe was now playing inside left got the ball on the 18 yarde and shot hard only to see a Congasco de- fender dive across the goal and save a certain counter with his hands. From the resultant pen- alty, Hunter shot over. This did not help any, and seemed to put the players on edge. Congaico were now desperate to hold the lead and simply kicked anywhere in order to kill time. It was a hard game to lose hut should, be a good lesson to» the Nats. * Another bad point in the game was the refereeing. It is not good policy to criticize the referee, but taking the game as an example, the association should look closely into the capabilities of a referee, before sending them to take charge of senior games. The Nats. are at home next Saturday, when they play Beaches TODAY AND TUESDAY i Winnie Lightner Joe E. Brown a | J 'SITTIGHT It's the 'Funniest Thing oh 4 Feet! Dresserware Night TOMORROW .

Both these sterling wrestlers have dis- played their wares here and each has impressed greatly. Incidentally, it has just been learned that Koski is a Finlander and not an Italian as was at first believed. As he can barely speak English, because of his name it was believed that he came from the land where Mussolini cuts such a wide swath, but instead he hies from the country that turned out such great runners as Nurmi and Kohlemainen. And how Koski came to get mix- ed up in Canadian wrestling is rath- er interesting. It appears that in his own land he was recognized as some wrestler but when he tried to break into the game in Toronto he was given the proverbial cold shoul. der. For weeks he haunted the of- fices of the Queensbury A.C., at 2 Toronto Street, Toronto, trying to get a match but was always turned down. Finally, one day Promoter Jack Corcoran, interested .despite him- self because of the fellow's persis- tency, othought he would make him stop coming around. So in a private little gym" nearby he arranged for a fairly good grappler to knock the wrestling bug out of Koski's bon- net, at it were, But what a sad enlightenment for the wrestler in question. Blated at getting his chance at last, Koski tore into his opponent and it was not before the latter cried enough. From then on, Alec has been getting plenty of work and as soon as he gets a little more experience, he's going to be a handful for the best. A tremendously powerful fellow, who specializes in whirling his op- ponents through the air for aero- plane spins, flying mares and the like, Koski always gives the fans a run for their money and*can be re- lied upon to. make Kogut show a whole lot more than he has to date. There will be two other bouts and those who attend the show at the Oshawa arena, Friday night, will see a great evening's entertainment, NATIONAL LEAGUE Won Lost A 2 eeveneed8 P.C. .750 W217 L700 .600 444 .400 .200 St. Louis ....

Hamilton Wins Two-Mile Relay Franklin Field, Philadelphia, April 27--Central Institute Collegiate ath- Iptes «scored impressively in the two- Cantrell Makes Bad Beginning Baltimore, April 27.--Guy Can- trell reported to Manager Steve O'Neill Sunday morning, but at 4.30 o'clock in the afternoon he was headed for the showers and hi: mates were continuing a losing bat tle. The Orivles defeated the Leafs by 9 to 4 in the second game of the series, rain preventing one of the games carded which was to form the first twin-bill of the season, Cantrell appeared to have a lot of "stuff," but the Birds had on Lheir batting clothes, and after the Canucks had taken a two-run lead in the second inning, the Birds pounded out three in their half of the session, to asume a lead which they maintained throughout the re. mainder of the tilt. Monte Weaver. the tall pedago- gue from the Unversity of Virginie, opposed the invaders and turned in an excellent performance. "Chick" Shiver, Stack and Cantrell solved his delivery for lusty home runs, but Weaver continued to stick to his knitting, and with perfect con- trol held the mastery against both Cantrell and Butzberger, the latter nrling the final two innings. The Leafs played flawless ball in the field, and that was some feat, "or it had been raining all morning, the ground was wet and slippery, and a wind blew over the diamond which at times bore resemblance to 2 gale, day track and field carnival or the University of Pennsylvania, which ended Saturday. Two firsts went to the fleet team from Central--one on Friday, when the Hamiltonians captured the inter- scholastic medley relay, and yester- day, when they ran away with the interscholastic relay. This second ef- fort Saturday--in the one-mile high school relay--brought them a third place. A heavy downpour of rain failed to halt Central's quartet of Moore, Mc- Gillivray, Winfield and Shaver in the two-mile affair. Leading all the way, they turned back. the challenge of such strong teams as La Salle of Providence, R.I, and Schenectady (New York) High, which finished second third; respectively. Central's time was 8.28 6-10. .e MARTIN Starting Tomorrow CHARLIE CHAPLIN "CITY LIGHTS' A typographical error in the admission prices ap- peared in Saturday's issue of The Times.

This belief resulted from a recent raid by federal officers who captured an illegal short-wave sending and re- ceiving station in a bungalow at Re- vere. Such stations can be installed for as little as $200 and, according to an investigator whose name was with- held, the New England coast is dot- ted with them. "A force of men could spend the rest of their days here tracking down these illegal short wave sets and they wouldn't even cripple the rum ficet," said the official. "These rum-running outfits along the New England coast are too wise to start fighting each other. You don't hear of any big hi-jackings now and any that do crop up are the work of tinhorn outsiders trying to get in the dough, "The situation is entirely different here from what you read about in Chicagp. Two or three of the gangs chip in and buy a boatload, and when it comes down off the coast here from the islands of St. Pierre and Mique- lon, they send their own speed boats out for it or hire boats to run it ashore. They can do that for about $4 a case." . This informant believed the seizure of one or two radio stations would not seriously hamper the rum-runners, as they would request, and receive, the use of another syndicate's sta- tion While in one quarter it was said the "boys" were planning to ease off on running liquor for a few weeks, coast guard officials stated there was no indication the rum runners were either preparing to lay off or start another big drive. Two well-known Canadian rum- runners had been reported recently on rum row, 45 miles off the coast, said Lieutenant-Commander Earl G Rose, commander of Coast Guard Base No. 5 at East Boston, but noth- ing lately had been heard from them. BONEHEAD PLAY COSTLY Washington,, D.C., April 27.-- Washington won a weird game from New York here yesterday, 9 to 7, with the margin of victory present- ed by the Yankees. Lou Gehrig, hard-hitting first-baseman, and Lynn Lary, shortstop, figured in a 'bonehead' classic that cost the Yankees two tallies in the opening inning. Gehrig, with Lary on base, clout- ed a homer into the centre-field stand with two men out. The ball bounced out of the stand, and was caught on the fly by H. Rice, Sena- tor centre-fielder. JLary, racing toward home, appar- ently looked up to see Rice's catch, and thought the side was out. He turned from third base toward the dugout, and failed to go home. Lou, streaking in, raced on to the plate. The umpire called Lary out, retiring the side, and two runs were not counted. CARDS LOSE AT HOME St. Louis, Mo., April 27.--Scor- ing one run in the sixth inning without the assistance of a hit, the Pittsburg Pirates handed the St. Louis Cardinals their first home defeat of the home season here Sunday afternoon, 1 to 0. RED PITCHERS POUNDED Cincinnati, April 27.--The Chic- ago Cubs defeated the Reds, 3 to 1, here yesterday, In the first game of the series, plastering three Cincinnati pitchers for 13 hits, while Charlie Root held the Red Legs to six scattered blows. About 6,500 fans braved the cold weather, GIRL WINS STOCK PRIZES Edmonton, Alta, April 27.--Evelyn McMahon, 13-year-old farm girl, pro- | vided the sensation of the Edmonton Spring Show by winning the sweep stakes of the fat stock show.

Each vessel has a capacity of 5,000 cases. In one section of the East Boston waterfront, it is said, five speed boats are kept in first class repair make occasional trips to sea, pearing for Despite constant watchfulness of the coast guard patrol boats and cu inspectors, these low-lying speedy craft are said to be successfully carrying on their occupation.

HY everal days at a time stoms Bricklayers Secured Lead of Four Goals Before Locals Scored, But Desperate Finish by City Team Made Score Close The official soccer season opened in Oshawa yesterday at Alexandra Park in wet and cold weather with the Bricklayers, of Toronto, win- ning by 4 to 3. Saxby started the game for the City, Bricklayers at once impressed by their earnestness and speed and the strong tacking of their half backs were a source of trouble to thé City team. Subse- qeuntly Smith in the City's goal had some anxious moments. McDougall had a run in the left wing and from his cross Smith had to tip over the bar to save. The City's half backs were having a hard time holding the snappy Toronto forward line. After 30 minutes of play Hughes scored on a pass from McDougall a few Toronto Bricklayers Won From Oshawa City Team By 4 to 3 Here Saturday a 2 minutes later Toronto again scored when Adams beat Smith with a beautiful header giving Smith no chance to save. Half time came with the score being: Bricklayers 2, City 0. Doughey started the second half for Toronto, The City did most of the attacking for the next 15 minu. tes. Smart had a great chance to score but his shot going to the goalkeepers hands, a few minutes later Dunstall also had a great chance, his shot just missing the upright, the Bricklayers now broke away and from Stanhopes cross Hughes scored, giving Smith no chance to save. Toronto scored five minutes later when Smith was beat by a long shot from Tarnin, Tor- onto 4, City 0. After this the City team started to wake up, and time after time they tried to score un- til 10 minutes to time up, Bredin scored also Smart and Saxby, The City team were trying desperately now to even up the score but the final whistle blew making the score Bricklayers 4, Oshawa City 3. and | disap- | '(Popp "RED" NEWMAN CAMERON GEDDES Under the Auspices of the OSHAWA POST CANADIAN LEGION The Greatest Stage Show in the History of this City THE DUMBELLS Spectacular Song Revne "HAPPY DAYS" With All The Favorite Stars CAPT.
