Seniors are' a bunth of very young players, with the exception of onc or two. Light and fast, Oshawa showed plenty of #bility in mid-field play but insuffi- dient experience was also evident, The team bunched a great deal at Both ends of the ficld, defensively they ¢rowded in front of the net and offensively they bunched too much. "Pat" Shannon, in the nets for the homesters, played a sterling game and his defence was beaten on all five goals which beat him. Norv, Hubbell and "Case" Luke were Oshawa's best defence men and "Shine" Bovin and Lloyd Dan- jels, two more local boys, were the pick of the home team. "Bus" Whitton was Oshawa's most cffec- tive man, offensively and besides scoring Oshawa's first two goals, he was a distinct threat all day. Oshawa's scoring threats were confined almost completely to the home ficlders and centre. "Béef" McKay and Yates kept a close tab 'on Oshawa's inside and. outside men and they were seldom allowed to break away. Of the four men from Campbellford who played for Oshawa, "Bus" Whitton and Cowle, a defenceman, were distinct addi- tions to the team. Ingram and Mc- " Arthur did not show anything startl- ing but of course they have not practised with the team and this fneans a great deal. i. Sheplev Stars for Visitors i Ernie Shepley, former Oshawa Star, was the best man on the Ham- flton team. - He broke up numer- ous plays and intercepted a great many passes not meant for him. Worthy, Curran, H. Clark and poundsbury also stood out for the itors. The Tigers were a much vier team than the Motor Sty wqiiad and they used their extra eight to good advantage at cvery yportunitys. "Oshawa scored a goal in less than teen seconds after the game op- gned but it was called back on the '@rcasc rule. A minute later, Ham- on took the lead when Shepley ored the first real counter of the Immediately after, Whitton Daniels combined nicely to SAVE MONEY! SHOWING TODAY ~ Will Rogers and Curran; for even up the score, Whitton scor- ing. The first quarter ended with the teams on even terms. Oshawa Leads at Half Time The Motor City tcam uncorked a real burst of speed in the second session and whe nthe half-time gong sounded, Oshawa was leading by 3 to 1 and not only looked to have the game well in hand, but deserved their advantage. Whitton and Dan- iels did the scoring in the sccond period, both on fine passes from "Shine" Bovin's stick. Hamilfon began to exert a little more pressure in the second half and cut down the lead to 3-2 in the third period. The final frame saw Oshawa give way before a wither- ing attack, led by Shepley, H. Clark, Worthy . and Loundsbury. Three shots found their mark in the Oshawa net and Walker Wilson, last year with General Motors, kept the Hamilton net intact. After Loundsbury made the score 5-3, Oshawa took the upper hand again and dominated for the last five minutes but the damage had been done and the game ended with the Motor City team an the wrong end of the score sheet. It was a tough break to lose the first game of the season but accord- ing to the general trend of the play, the Motor City team has real strength and once they have bad a little more experience and a couple of games under their belts, they will be. tough opposition for any rival aggregation, ' THE GAME Less than fifteen seconds after play had started, Oshawa had scored going straight up the ficld from the face-off. The goal was scored from a pass inside the crease and was called back. Hamilton started a slow attack which culminated in the first real goal of the game. Shep- ley, former Oshawa star, beat Shan- non on a covered shot, from the side, for the first goal of the game. The Motor City crew were not long in getting back on equal terms, Whitton scoring the first counter on a pretty play, Whitton to Dan= iels to Whitton 'who beat Walker Wilson, with a smart shot, 1-1. Griffith drew the first penalty of the game when he rapped Cardinal over the head. Soon after Griffith got back, Garrison hit Yates over the head and Yates retaliated - in like manner. Both players were ordered off. Loundsbury received a nasty cut and' went off for repairs. An argu- ment took place when "Case" Luke was shoved through the fence. It seemed an unfair decision. The end of the first period found the tcams still on even terms, 1-1 Soon after the second 'period opened, "Beef" McKay drew a pen- alty for slashing, during the midst of a strong Oshawa attack. Dan- iels relieved during some anxious moments but Hamilton again at- tacked. Oshawa went right back and went into the lead for the first time during the game, on another pretty combination play, Whitton to; bovin to Whitton who beat 'Wilson for the second time during tlic af- ternoon, 2-1 for Oshawa. Sod Shepley drew:a penalty for hitting J. Cardinal over the head. It was apparently - agcidental. ; Oshawa took a commanding lead on another pretty play, - Danicls scoring on a hot shot after taking a pass from "Shine" Bovin, The half-time gong. found = the score standing at 3 to 1 in favour of the Motor City team. Third Period ; Play opencd cautiously with the visitors seeming anxious to cut down the Oshawa lead. I. Clark was given a five-minute penalty for talking back to the Ref. on receiv- ing a minor penalty for cross check- ing. "Pat" Shannon made a beau- tiful save when Loundsbury was in close. Whitton was sent "off for cross checking during 'a pressing Hamilton attack. J. Cardinal was sent off a minute later and Oshawa were considerably weakened. Hem- ilton pressed hard but the Acam held out until back at full strength. H. Clark put Hamilton back into con- tention when he took a fine pass from Gordon and casily beat Shan- non, who didn't havé a chance. 3-2 for Oshawa. The visitors continued to hold the upper hand and Shannon and his defence men were called on for some stellar work, to hold them out. The bell found Hamilton still pressing hard and the Oshawa team looked to have a hard road ahead of them, . Final Period Hamilton started right in at the face-off, in a desperate effort: to even up the score but the Motor 'City crew had taken a new lease on fife. Worthy scored a goal which ma the Oshawa defence look weal? when he went in alone from centre field and was within six feet of "Pat" before he let drive, Shan- won had no chance to save and the score was tied at three all. . looked accidental.

Going into the escond half of the game, Oshawa lead by 3 to 1, thanks to smart work on the part of Whitton, Daniels and Bovin, as well as the rest of the team.

Brampton Scores Most Goals But Native Sons win Brampton, June 1.--In the opening O.A.L.A. senior game here, played under protest, Ex- celsiors easily defeated Native Sons by 13 to 3, having a decided margin on the offensive after the first five minutes when the visit- ors snared two goals, The game was played in continuous rain and considering the treacherous underfooting the good showing of the locals' home was an out- standing feature. Native Sons' defense at no time could hold them in check and it was only the clever work of Stokes, Na- tive Sons' goaler, that halted the goal-scoring of Excelsiors in the last quarter, The score was 12 to 3 at the conclusion of the third | session. | Native | Smithson, Silk and Barron, formerly of Oshawa General | Motors with them, but they did not dress for the game.

Oshawa's Cricket Club rg Wins Impressive Victory ' Oshawa Cricket Club De- feats Congasco in Fine Style--F. Larmouth and J. Chappell Put Up Cen- tury for First: Wicket Stand -- Three Straight Wins for Locals Oshawa won their third suc- cessive game on Saturday, by de- feating Consumers Gas C. C. at Riverdale Park. Ag usual, the game was play- ed in a drizzle rain, hut by now, the Oshawa Club has got used to "mud-larking." Larmouth won the toss and! opened the batting with his usual partner, J. Chappell. The first | two overs were '"'maidens," and then the fireworks started. Lar- | mouth was missed twice before scoring and it cost the fielders | much leather chasing. The score fairly flew along. | Both batsmen settled down and despite the bowling changes, nothing could stop the pair. The | fielders were run off their feet and in 40 minutes, the century was reached. The batsmen cut, chopped and drove the ball in all directions and boundary hits were common. After making 65 | runs, Larmouth was caught at | cover-point and the first wicket fell with the score at 102. We believe that this is a ree- ord first wicket stand for coun- cil ericket. It was a grand exhibition and Fred was loudly applauded when coming back. J. Chappell was going great guns and with Gillann as partner more runs came along. Mann was caught after making 10 runs and strange to relate, F, Prosser was bowled for 'a "duck." F. Hodgkinson following "in, soon got going and his score of 18 were 4 boundary hits ana beauties too. At last J. Chap-| pell was beaten with a ball which | kept low, when 6 runs short of bis half century. Well played, | Jimmie boy, it was a grand in- nings. Dewbury and Merrick added 19 more before the latter was howled for 11. Anthony added 10 runs and then the in- nings was declared with G. Dew- buery still undefeated with 13 runs to his credit. The score stood at 188 runs for 7 wickets, A record score for the club. The team had batter for 112 hours. Quick scoring that, ana the umpires commended the cap- tain for his sporting declaration, leaving the other team 2'2 hours to: make their runs. As it happened three-quarters of an hour was sufficient to get rid of the other team, The Osh- awa boys backed up their huge score with some smart fielding and the result was a complete rout. Only one batsman reached double figures and the innings was something of a procession. The bowlers were on top all the time and the whole could only muster 27 runs all out. Gillann had the best bowling average, with 4 wickets for seven runs. The costliest wicket only gave 7 runs, so it was a regular day out for the Motor City boys. The locals have a run of 3 games at home for the next three Saturdays, so the enthusiasts of the game will have ample oppor- tunities of seeing the boys in ac- tion. x Frisivs Wins Toronto Cup Toronto, June 1.--The Ontario Jockey Club rung down the cur- tain on its spring meeting at Woodbine Park on Saturday. . As on the opening day, inclement weather prevailed but despite this, a fairly large crowd turned out and witnessed a brilliant program. The outstanding feature of the afternoon was the renewal of the Toronto Cup race, and this event, with: $7,500 added, resulted in Frisius of the Belair Stud carry- ing the silks of that stable to vic- tory for the second time in as many starts at the meeting. He scored by one-half a length over Mrs. H. Pyne's Storm, with C. V. Whitney's Rideaway a bang-up third. There was a delay of about five minutes at the starting post, but when Marshall Cassidy eventually got them away the Belair Stud color-bearer jumped into the lead. He maintained the advantage throughout the journey of nine furlongs and scored in a driving finish over Storm. Storm got away fourth, but made up ground as the race progressed, although upon reaching the stretch he was back in third place, trailing Ride- away by a length and a half. But Storm came strongly down the stretch to take. second by a nose from Rideaway. Marine, of J Mount Royal Stable, got 'away poorly and was never able to gabh- er enough speed to menace the leadérs, finishing fourth, Meri- dian Queen was right in the con- tention, being second to the three- quarter mark, but faltered to end up in sixth piace. H. C. Hatch's Boys Howdy and Seagram's Sol- ace, apparently not suited to the team || | course conditions, were acralched. Another for Froth Blower. Froth Blower, R. W. Cowie's good colt, winner of the Kings" Plate and Breeders' Handicap added further to his laurels when he scored a close victory over R. H. New's Aymond in the William Hendrie Memorial Handicap, :a $3,000 added claiming race for 3,- year-olds and up, over a mile and a sixteenth distance. J. E, Small- man's campaigner, Gay Parisjan, off to a poor start, failed to cates the leaders and finished third, Red Wings and Ledfs : Divide Rochester, June 1.--The Roch=- ester and Toronto bhasehdll teams repeated their holiday exhibition vesterday by splitting a doulle- header, although the respective clubs registered their triumphs at opposite ends of the bill. Be- fore a Sunday crowd of some 9,% 000 enthusiasts, the Wings won the first game 10 to 6, but thes were as ineffective in the second as they had been stronger in'the opener, and howed before the fine hurling of Nick Harrison, 7 to 2. : Harrison almost won the honor of being the first pitcher to -goose- egg the Wings this season. Hé had two men out in the seventh and final inning of the day when George Binder smashed a hit' to right to score Ray . Pepper and George Fisher with a pair of counters. Nick allowed but four hits during the fray and walked: three men, including the . paip that scored. = BELLEVILLE NATS. BEAT PETERBORO IN C.0-B.L: OPENER Peterboro, June 1.---~Showers failed to interfere with the suc- cess of the Central Ontario League opening game here on Saturday, and a big crowd saw the re-entry of thé locals into senior baseball, after a year's absence. Belle- ville Nationals defeated the re~ vamped Peterboro' team 4 to 2 af- ter an interesting battle that was in doubt until the final frame. "Hoot"* Gibson pitched steady ball for the winners, and Kitchen, making his senior debut for the Petes, did remarkably well against the hard-hitting Natiohals." A pa- rade preceded the game, and Ma~ vor Denne, Alderman George Mac- donald and William Kay of the O.B.A.A. Executive participated in the opening ceremony.
