The whole game was played under most adverse conditions and to say 'the least the game never should ave started, as good ball was ont of the question. But then probably bit was as fair for one team as an- bother and the best team won on 'the play. © When the game started rain was falling and almost at once it began to rain as if there was to be another Noahs' flood and by the end of the t second inning it was utterly impos- sible to stand in an upright position 'on the diamond, while the base run- ners took two steps toward a base tand slid the rest of the way on | their chests. field out of reach of where the field- er was standing always went for a hit and when the game was called the boys were rolling their pants as bawell as their socks. © With the rain falling in torrents ithe teams retired to the clubhouse Where an argument was entered in- 40 by the managers of the contend- bing teams as to whether the game should go on. North Bay positively "did not want to continue and wanted ito play a sudden death game for the title at a later date. As this Bwas distinctly unfair, with Oshawa Sin the lead 6 to 2, a call was put in p the president of the association ho ruled that the game be contin- id, In order to carry on a dia- ond was laid out on the west sid the field near the south end and th saw dust as base lines, the fes- ges continued.

It a tough break for Harry Ga © was getting into one of his ¥st play-off games. Towns: took ip*the mound duties and walked another batter to fill the bags with mone out. However an infield tap 1 urst cut off a runner at third pda run came in. While a tap to owns cut off another run at the e. while the third man was out im a fly. Oshawa went out one, o, three in their half of the inn- being unable to connect squarely ith Wilson's slow ball. The sccond Imning as far as North Bay was con- ned was a repetition of the first another run camc¢ in, but in heir half of the inning six runs © in on, hits and errors to pn hawa well in the lead. After re ing the first batter in the thi game was called as it was ir sible to stand on the greasy dia mond. With the continuance of the game "the improvised diamond both 5 went scoreless in the third, North Bay came back and scor- twice to make the game close. e's however scored three in the and were on their way again a mine to four lead, North y were not to be taken too easily prc scored four runs in the sixth to rand Wilson at Their Worst Saturday come within one of evening the count. The assault lead to the re- moval of Towns to centre field while Knox came in to pitch. Although he thas not pitched for weeks the clongated twirler was a success for several innings and held North Bay off the score sheet in the seventh and eighth, After holding North Bay scoreless in the seventh Mike's Place went in and scored five runs to take a good lead. Successful pinch hitting by Major who replaced Graboski helped the cause considerably. But the real blowup as of the North Bay teant came in the eighth when ele- ven runners crossed the plate on eight hits and seven errors. It was pitiful for North Bay. They just could not hold on to the ball and casy infield flys went for safeties as the ball slipped out of their hands. Bunts that might under or- i y circumstancs been outs were as the infielders slid on their backs in attempting to pick up the ball. The feature of the inn- ing was the daring base running of Mike's Place in which Hurst was the leading light with a beautiful piece of head work between third and the plate, In their half of the eighth North Jay got two runners on base and Manager Jacobi at once yanked Knox and sent Towns back to the mound and in the inning and a half that he worked he held the visitors to one run and as many hits. The final North Bay run came in the ninth and the final score was 25 to 9: Those sixteen runs in the last two innings were the deciding ges- ture of the game. In fact the win- ners were -the better as they stood up better under the prevailing con-- ditions, In the last of the eighth when Oshawa scored eleven runs Wilson was tired right out and was replaced by Turner, the six foot giant playing second base, he might have past as he had lots of speed but it seemed that McGowan had lost all hope and failed to try and he was also removed. To fill the gap Turner. went behind the bat in went in to pitch. Mike's Place played fine ball un- der the circumstances with Hurst a regular pepper pot and unlike many of the players seemed to be able to hold fly balls, His base running was a treat, Hall, Cornish and Pet- got jerson were good at bat, while for the visitors Turner was the best | playing an all round good game and | had much more spirit than his team- | mates. It was a physical impossibility to keep track of all the hits and errors but considering the North Bay had seven errors in the eighth Oshawa must have had a big edge in that department, : Score by Innings North Bay . 110204001 -- 9 Mike's Place... 060030511 x25 Batteries--North Bay: R.

Rain! Rain' After a week of weather that could not have been bettered at this time of year, the clouds opened on Saturday afternoon and poured down all their pent up tury upon Oshawa and vicinity and ruined what doubtless would have been the best softball game of the season, a number of fans braved the elements to sce the game but for the most part they stayed in their cars, while those who stood in the rain wished that they were at home listening to their favourite rugby team perform The rain which fell throughout the game rendered good ball impossible, but added much to the amusement of the fans who thor- oughly enjoyed the antics of the players who were hard put to it to The pitchers had the hardest struggle as the ball was Quite Oshawa used no less than three, 0.C.V.1.

Eleven times the McGill tried the forward pass and six of them were completed for a total gain of 95 yards, while Queen's com- pleted only one pass for a gain of 20 yards. McGill showed more than either Varsity or Western had against the Tricolor and the game developed into the best rugby spectacle seen at the Rich- ardson Stadtum in years. Throughout the early part of the game the Tricolor maintained a (superiority 'when they wiped out the two-point lead of the Red team, on Gilmore's - placement and Carter's kicks for two rouges, Half way through the third quarter after the teams had been tied at 2 to 2 at half time and Gilmore had booted a placement soon after the third quarter opened, the McGill team started to use the forward pass exten- sively, and Queen's seemed to have little defence against it. Two forward passes in a row netted McGill 35 yards and gave them possession on Queen's 5- end run was Game for Queens| | Turville is fight started and Doherty tore around the open end for a touchdown which was converted. Argo's Ace Ottawa, Oct. 26.--Kicking all of his team's eight points singly, Frank Turville led Toronto Ar- gonauts to a decisive 8 to 5 win over Ottawa Rough Riders in an interesting, well-played Inter- provincial Rugby Football Union fixture at Lansdowne Park BSat- urday afternoon. The victory put the Odrsmen into third place in the standihg and the local's loss relegated them to the cellar. Turville's kicking gave Argos a wide margin of play. The Double Blue backfield ace"s mighty hoofing and Dave Harding's sparkling work on the Ottawa back division featured the game. Turville outkicked Hard- ing with and against the brisk wind, but Dave's clever end run- ning and line plunging almost offset in brilliance the stellar work of the lanky Torontonian, Harding paved the way for Ottawa's only scoring play, an uncoverted try, in the second pers fod by galloping through the Argo line for a gain of 40 yards. He was stopped within two yards of his goal by Turville, the only man he had yet to pass, and on the next play Hartwick was push- od over for the touch. Harding started to run around the left end but, seeing a hole, cut back and ran During a spasmodic rain storm the collegiate rugby teams, Junior and Senior, slid and slopped their way to victory over Port Hope and Cobourg, on Saturday at Alexandra Park. The field, rain-soaked to be- gin with, was turned into a quag- mire before many minutes of the Junior game had clapsed. The play- ers wallowed in the mud with the result that within five minutes af- ter the game had commenced, ev- eryone was plastered from head to foot. In spite of the. treacherous condition of the field and the slip- periness of 'the ball, there were surprisingly few fumbles Junior Game The Junior game did not start until 2 o'clock. Oshawa kicked off and Port Hope inside of three min- utes had plunged their way up the ficld for a touch which was convert ed. On the kick off P.HH.S. rc peated their march down the field, but were finally held on Oshawa 15 yard line. O.C.V.I. kicked anc Port Hope by a series of 'plunges went over the Oshawa line for an- other touch which was also convert ed. The quarter ended with Osh awa in possession in mid-field Port Hope--12.
