THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, MAY 6, 1931" } JERSEY CITY SHUT OUT TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS IN OPENING GAME Skeeters Spoiled Opening Day for Toronto Maple Leafs | Fifteen Thousand Fans See ~_ Allan Best Frank Barnes 5 to 0 in a Game Featured by Ten Strikeouts for the % Skeeter Hurler Toronto, May 6.--Toronto ush- ered in the International Lesgue pason at Maple Leaf Stadium yes- day afternoon in the presence of approximately 15,000 lovers of 'the diamond pastime, but sad to reldte, our own Maple Leafs failed «to make it the expected Roman 'holiday at the expense of the Jer- "sey City Skeeters. The Leafs were second hest They were forced to absorb a B5-to-0 defeat from the clever right "arm of J. Allan, Jersey City pitch- ser, who had a brief trial with the New York Americans this spring, 'but was recently returned Hr jui- ther seasoning. The Yankees may .mpt be convinced of his major .ea- gue qualifications, but after seeing "him in actlon against the Loafs, «Toronto fans will endorse hin un- hesitatingly. As in previous ap- "pearances here last season, Allan maintained an aggravating ri tery "over the O'Neillmen and literally *'stole the show." He was aided and abetted by some effective hit- ® ting and some brilliant fielding on e part of his teammates, but all "Re really needed was just one run. It was an ideal day for baseball, too. A comforteble temperature and a bright, warm sun, The fans came early and at game time there were few stretches of vacant _ seats to be seen. The crowd was ® "larger than that which attended the opening game last season, but it was several thousand short of the record for the Fleet street edi- "fice. In Memoriam The usual pomp and pageantry were dispensed with on this occa- i \ sion. Instead a solemn note was "sounded. As a memorial tribute to the Toronto Club's late presi- dent, Lawrence Solman, without whom no baseball opening here will ever seem as bright again, the reey City and Toronto players I" formed a human cross in the field © while the spectators stood bare- p= headed and bowed during the play- ing of one of Mr. Solman's favorite . hymns, "Abide With Me." A min- * ute of silence was observed at the "completion of the impressive tune "and then the bandsmen relieved . the solemnity with the inspiring . "Maple Leaf Forever." fo...

Before the end of the game, the fans began to file silently through the exits. They were willing to concede the victory to the visitors and their excellent pitcher, who caused ten of the Leafs to strike out. Perhaps there may be some consolation in the fact that a couple of weeks pre- vious in Jersey City the Leafs put a similar crimp in the Skeeters' opening day festivities. Opposed to Allan was Frank Barnes, the rangy southpaw, who, like his pitching rival, was with the Yankees this spring for a trial. Barnes had turned in two winning performances for the Leafs since his return to the team, hut he was out-pitched yesterday. He wcrked the first seven innings and 'etired in favor of a pinch-hitter, Art Ru- ble, in the Leafs' portion of the seventh. Art Mills took up the hurling burden from then on and yielded the final three Jersey City runs. When Barnes departed the visitors were in* front, 2 to 0. A'ter blanking them for five inninzs and keeping four hits well scattered over that stretch, the Toronto southpaw was pelted with four ringing drives in the sixth, a triple by Gillis starting the collection which produced the pair of runs. George Earnshaw Strikes Out Ten Philadelphia, Pa., May 6.-- With George Earnshaw striking out 10 batters, the Athletics even- ed the series here with the Boston Red Sox yesterday by winning the second game 4 to 1. Earl Webb's home run in the seventh inning robbed Earnshaw of a shutout and ended his string of 16 successive scoreless innings. "Mule" Haas hit a triple and double, scored two of the Mack rung and drove in a third as the star of the victors' assault on Pitcher Durham and his suécessors on the mound. League Leaders Continue to Win St. Louis, May 6.--Pounding four St. Louis pitchers for a total of 17 hits, the Cleveland Indians yesterday defeated the @&t, Louis Browns 11 to 6. The visitors used three hurlers, however, in their victory, which was their first of this series. The Indians had a field day in the third inning when seven hits were made for five runs, but they extended their slugging over most of the game. Jenkins for Fonseca for the home runs. Long Distance. Hitting Featured Detroit, May 6.--Long distance hitting--11 hits going for 22 bases --wén the Chicago White Sox the the Browns and Clevelanders hit "| second geme of its series with the Tigers 7 to 3 here yesterday. The Sox collected . four triples and three doubles at the expense of three Tiger hurlers, none of whom was effective. Frasier, the Sox's starting pitcher; yielded seven hits and all the Tiger runs in the four and two-thirds innings he pitched. The Tigers were help- less before Urban Faber, relief hurler, whose spitter was breaking at baffling angles, : Watford, who had a perfect day, and Fothergill each contributed a triple and a double to the Sox hitting orgy. A recent arrival at a boaring- house had been a member of an ex- pedition just returned from the wildest parts of Africa. After meals he liked to recount to the other boarders his many experiences and narrow escapes from death. "Yes," he said one night, after the dishes had been'cleared away, "many are the times when my party came to within an inch of dying from hunger. I remember one oe- casion especially. For days we had been without food. Everybody thought our end had come, when one of the men cut up the soles of his shoes and made them into soup "Hush!" interrupted the board- ers in chorus, 'Don't let the land- lady hear you." ) | a 0 9 Up Wa UN L@PAN | Ned . 1 = | AMERICAN Won Lost P.C.

Robins Get 3 Hits Brooklyn, May 6.--Only one Brooklyn player got as far as sec- ond base off Freddie Fitzsimmons yesterday, and the New York Gianis made it two out of three over the Robins, 8 to 0. Fitzsim- mons allowed only three scattered hits in pitching his fousth con- secutive victory. "Lefty" Clark was pounded hard by the Giants, who scored two in the first inning, two more in the fourth, and finally drove him from the hill in the eighth inning. Frederick, who tripled in the eighth inning. was the lone Robi to get past first base. ' Boston Braves Win In the Ninth Boston, May 6.----A ninth-inning rally featuring a home run, triple and single, gave the Boston Braves two runs and a 5 to 4 victory over the Phillies yesterday. With his team behind 4 to 3, "Red" Worthington hit a home run. Johnny Neun produced a single and Clise Gudley, Phillies' pitcher, was relieved by Lil Stoner. West Schulmerich, who made his National League debut yesterday, then tripled to right centre, scor- ing Neun with the winning run. Schulmerich also hit a home run in the sixth inning, and "Buzz" Arlets, Phillies' right fielder, made his fourth circuit e¢lout of the season in the third with a runner on base, Buffalo Bisons Buffalo, May 6. -- The Buffalo Bisons overpowered the Reading Keys in the opening game of the International League season here yesterday, using three home runs to score all of the tallies in a 4 to 2 triumph. Shinners and Mueller walloped successive round trippers in the fifth stanza, and Russ Wrightstone furnished the margin of victory with another four-decker, which scored a mate ahead of him in the seventh inning. George Quellich of Reading furnished a fourth home run in the fourth inning. "Lefty" Michaels, young Rookie southpaw, hurled fine ball for the Bigons, keeping nine hits wel] scat- tered and issuing only two walks, one of which was intentional.

League totals--- National, 60; Win With Homers| Jersey City Win Maple Leaf Opener Jersey City took all the joy out of the opening game at Maple Leaf Stadium by winning the game five to nothing. The Toronto fans should not be too downhearted, however, as it was only the turn of the wheel of fortune, the Toronto team turning the same trick in Jersey City. The whole story of the game is found in the fact that Johnny Allan had a good day and burned the ball over all the way. At that the Skeeters only got eleven hits to the Leafs seven, but the Torento hits were all scattered. Allan had the Leafs swinging and fanned ten bat- ters, a record for this time of the year. Morchart lead the attack tor the home team with two hits and stole a base. Shiver and Strong each hit doubles and demonstrated that the home team has power at bat. » * * Volleyball Finals Tonight The Volleyball league which has been in operation during the winter months at the Ontario Regiment Armouries on Simcoe Street north has been narrowed down to the finals, These will be played at the Armouries this evening, when the Firemen's team will try conclusion: with the B Company No. 1 team for the championship of the league.

Club Could Have Whitby Almost Certain | To Have Girls Team Again | Same Team as Last ear -- All Team Needs Is Someone With the Time to Manage the Affairs of the Club Rumour is a funny thing. First we hear one thing and then entire- ly the opposite side of the question is brought out, This may be said to be the case as regards the Whitby Rovers Girls' Softball team. It was at first thought that Whit. by would not have a team in the girls league this Jean: but after due consideration had been given to the subject by several of the en- thusiasts of the County Town, there seems to be no reason why the team should not operate thiz year as usual. In fact the club have the same players this year as last with the possible exception of one or two players, who can easily be replaced by players who are up and coming. The club also bought new uniforms last season and it will do them no good to lie idle for a year. The club is not in the position Of starte ing out without equipment as thd€ supplies from last year are on hand. One of the items that has held up the organization of the club had been that no one seemed to be will ing to manage the team. This can easily be arranged however, with such men as "Mack" Deverell and Frank Connor on hand to take over the reins. It would be something t@& regret if Whitby were not repree sented in the league, as they have an enthusiaiastic following of fans both in their own town and also ifn Oshawa. In fact it would be a dise tinct loss to the league if Whitby decided to remain idle for a year, as they proved to be one of the bes§ drawing cards here in the ladies league. In any event Whitby will be re presented at a meeting of the leagug executive to be held here to-morrow evening. On that occasion at least two representatives will be on hand and this fact should be a good ine dication that a team will be enter ed this year. p Sinclair Laird, Dean of School of Teaclsers Across Canada by the scenic Canadisn Pa~ : through the wilds of Northern Ontario ; ; ; stops at Winni Edmonton and sve Canada's Alpine playground . . .
