Inter. "A" and Inter. "AA" softball teams are all reminded to have their delegates present at the "final entry" meeting being held tomorrow evening, 7.30 o'clock at the office of Ernie Marks, King St. East, secre- tary of the Oshawa City & District Softball Association. President Johnrty Brady is particularly anxious to get the two schedules for these leagues drawn up as soon as possible so tomorrow (Friday, May 16th) has been set as the final date to accept entries. So far, it looks as if there'll be a four-team Inter. "A" loop with perhaps five or six teams facing the barrier in the Inter. "AA" circuit. seus monsgfrinmns Campbell -- Oshawa GM-Colts are running into a ot of luck these days and most of it is bad. They took an 8-0 shellacking last night at Kew Gardens at the hands of Tip Top Tailors when they ran info big "Cam" Ecclestone on a good night. As a matter of fact, the Oshawa gang played a pretty fair brand of ball in the field, with Normie Magee turning a sensational display at shortstop and Johnny Kitchen Ronnie Nelson and "Wib" Hall all performing in brilliant fashion at their respective corners of the diamond. However, at the plate, Ecclestone made the Oshawa gang look bad as he whipped his famous "risc-ball" past them with regularity. Both Kitchen and McLaughlin were held hitless by Ecclestone and the others collected five hits among them, with Hall getting a couple. Actually, it was a much better game than the 8-0 score indicates. Tip Tops got two runs on a homer over the crowd in the short right-field and three runs on a homer by France in the 7th inning." Ronnie Nelson hit a * home-run drive to deep left-centre, with two Oshawa mates on bases and two men out, in the 5th, at a stage when it could have made the game entirely different but Granham made a tional running stab to snare the hard-hit drive and end the inning. It was Eccle- Jane's 'sixth shutout in succession, counting his playoff games of year. L + +» * GM-Colts may have lost the services of Sammy Stark, classy young infielder, for a couple of weeks at least. Sammy received a hard driven ball between his fingers, at a practice on Monday night. First-aid treat- ment appeared to indicate that it was only one of the frequent 'pinged" fingers softball players get but increased swelling and pain prevented Stark from playing in last night's game and X-ray pictures will be taken today to determine whether or not his finger or hand has been broken. His services will be lost to the Colts for a couple of weeks at least. GM-Colts play Peoples in Toronto on Friday night and then travel to Peterboro for an exhibition game on Saturday afternoon. "Peoples" open the local season here, next Fritlay Hien.

Incidentally, it was Eecclestone's sixth successive shutout, counting his playoff games of last season's championship drive. Besides shut- ting off Kitchen and McLaughlin, two of Oshawa's top hitters, Eccle- stone was accorded brilliant sup- rt. - the fifth inning with two men on bases and two out, Ronnie Nel- son poled a mammoth drive to left-centre but Graham made a running stab, a real "circus catch" to save a certain homer and three runs. Two brilliant pick-up plays by shortstop Eddie Geraldi nipped other Oshawa rallies just before they reached run-scoring propor- tions. Ecclestone fanned 10 batters and "Preem" Whiteley, on the mound for GM-Colts, struck out four. Timely Hitting hitting and extra-base blows told the story in Tip Tops' scoring success.

In the third frame, Upper smacked the first ball pitched over the heads of the crowd into short right-field, for a homer, with one man aboard at the time. In the seventh inning, with two men on bases as the result of a walk to Cranham and a single by Upper, and two men out, France hit a homer to left-centre, to make it 7-0. Tip Tops forged their final tally in the ninth on hits by France, Geraldi and a long fly to centre that scored France trom third after the catch. Normie Magee at shortstop, far the GM-~Colts, was the fielding star of the game. He handled nine chances in brilliant fashion and two of his plays were in the sensational class. Kitchen, Hall, Nelson and Rospond in centre, all turned in good games for the Colts, too. Hall, with a clean bunt and sharp single, the Oshawa team at the plate.

"Phone 2265 AT LAST! RULES FOR UMPIRES are strikes, By 'ENID NEMY Canadian Press Staff Writer Edmonton, May 15--(CP) -- Baseball and fastball umpires probably take more abuse from fans than do hockey officials, says Lorimer . (Lethbridge Her- ald) Fenwick. He brings the attention of sport fans to eight "safety rules" recently promulgated by the "Lethbridge Umpire's Protective Association." And it seems safe to say that, if carried out, the umpires will have their revenge for years of back-talk and (hor- rors) fisticuffs from fans. Without further ado, we list the aforementioned safety rules. (1) Always carry at least one six-ghooter in plain sight so that timid, but mouthy, fans won't get tough with you too early im ts game, (2) Pay a small boy 25 cents prior to the game to stand direct- ly behind the wire screen and call you "robber, stinker," etc. then walk over and clout him on the nose. (3) Spit a great deal. (4) If possible, walk as if you were bow-legged, and swing your arms as close to the ground as possible, The more you look like an ape the better. Fortunately, most umpires have a head start (we're still quoting). (5) Before the game starts, and if the sun is in the proper place, do a little shadow boxing. This is bound to impress, (6) Call your strikes in as pugnacious a tone as possible. Act as if you really believe they (7) Always leave your glass- es at home so that the fans will have no idea as to your real con- dition, And never, never, carry a cane. If you must carry some- thing, carry a club. (8) It attacked by unr#ly fans, remember the old saying: '"wom- en and children first." And then hit 'em hard. Tuna Tourney At Wedgeport Resumes Sept. 3 By JOE MacSWEEN Canadian Press Staff Writer Wedgeport, N.S., May 156 -- (CP)--Horse racing may be the sport of most Kings, but hoary Neptune js a wilful monarch and must be different. One of the salty ruler's pastimes is to hurl his mighty tuna at sports- men--and they, just to keep in the spirit of things, play the 800- pound monsters with rod and reel, Such a pastime occurs at this West Coast Nova Scotia fishing town each summer. A tidal stream--"Soldier"s Rip""--throws up a multitude of bait-fist as tid- bits for the fattening tuna, From Europe and North and South Am- erica . sportsmen descend on Wedgeport and "Soldier's Rip" becomes a boiling cauldron -- an arena of struggle between av- id fishermen and powerful fish. "Soldier's Rip" is synonomous with tuna. Last year 228,367 pounds of tuna were dragged from the freak stream by sports- men, The average fish weighed 604 pounds. This season the International Tuna Tournaments--interrupted during second World War years-- will begin again at Wedgeport. United States, British Empire and Cuba teams are definite entries for the four-day meet, scheduled to begin Sept. 3. Seven-man teams will compete for the Alton B. Sharp Trophy, now held by a Cuban team which won 'the 1938 contest. PAINTING ALL WORK Guaranteed! Spray and Brush PAINTING FREE ESTIMATES !
