| 40 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTR, WednesSay, Apell 35, 1003 EVERYTHING FROM SOUP' TO NUTS" We intended to mention this yesterday but slipped up--so we'll get ft off early. This is a special notice to all young men of Oshawa and district who are interested in playing lacrosse this summer, for an "Oshawa" team. "Chuck" Barron, former Oshawa ster of the gutted- stick game in both field and box lacrosse days, is behind the move to revive lacrosse in Oshawa this summer. They intend to round up an Intermediate team and will play their home games in the Oshawa Arens, Arrangements with Oshawa Arena have already been made. The first workout has been called for tonight, at the arena and all aspirants are urged to be on hand, with running shoes, their lacrosse stick and that'll do, for a week or so. Other workouts will be callei for next week but Kiwanis Karnival takes over the Arena tomorrow night and for the balance of the week. All lacrosse enthusiasts of 18-years-of-age and up, are invited to be at the Oshawa Arena tonight at 7:30 o'clock. Chuch Barron, Kelly DeGray, Ken Saunders and one or two former local senior lacrosse players will be on hand. They want to see how much material is available and it's possible they may not even get out on the floor tonight, since a discussion meeting will be held, to get the feelings of the prospective players. More news from the Oshawa Merchants' baseball camp. Manager Mike Garbark is expected to be in Oshawa tomorrow and workouts will start this week-end, if the dry weather continues. A right- handed pitcher who won 8 games and lost @ in semi-pro ball last year, in Brooklyn, is coming here next week, to try out for a berth. He starred in the Puerto Rican winter league, this past few months, Word has been received from the N.Y. Yankees' office that six players from their farm system, are coming to Oshawa for trials. All are College boys who have been tagged for future reference by Yankee scouts--so they must have something on the ball. Twe of them have--for sure--they're pitchers and two more of the six are hard-hitting catchers, Toronto's baseball season gets underway today and even though Jack Kent Cooke didn't sound too happy last night about the treatment his club and his activities are getting from the evening papers, we venture that he's really not that annoyed that he'll bar the press boys from today's opener. Good weather seems to have been ordered for the event and there'll likely be a sellout crowd on hand. The Allan Cup finals did get under way last night after all and the Kitchener-Waterloo fans saw their Dutchmen defeat Pen- ticton V's 5-2 in the opener. It looks as if the Dutchmen should be able to take this series without teo much trouble but the second game will tell the story. Simcoe Gunners defeated Collingwood Shipbuilders last night to even up their series at two wins apiece, for the OHA Inter. "A" title. Meanwhile, the Memorial Cup series moves to Brandon tonight and Barrie Flyers know now theyll have fo be on their toes. St. Boniface apparently have something.

Nice weather . . . a delightful spot. . . hot dogs broiling over a camp fire. But that campfire can be dangerous unless you understand where to build it, how to be sure it's out. In Ontario millions of dollars go up in smoke every year because someone was careless. Help the forest ranger by keeping forest fires in mind . . . and out of our forests! RANGER BREWING COMPANY LIMITED KITCHENER ONTARIO ERAS EEL AY Here's great news for all soft- ber A MARY PICKFORD TROPHY COMES HERE When Bill Lang, one of Canada's best known fishermen, visited Mary Pickford at her home in Outstanding Conservation Honor Tendered Oshawa Fish-Game Club the "Mary Piekford Streamer Fly" after her, In return she presented him with. a solid silver trophy cup. "I make you its custodian", said she, "and I leave it to you to do with as you think fit."' Above is a reproduction of the original scene a Mary Pickford present- ed the handsome trophy to the well - known outdoorsman. Lang, at that time was president of the Toronto Anglers' Associa- tion and decided to award the Hp to whatever club did the best joi for Conservation. He is very proud that Oshawa is the present holder of the trophy, for not only is he well-known here but Bill has sev- eral very close friends among the sportsmen of this city. The Mary Pickford Trophy, which 'is now under 'the jurisdic- tion of the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters, was present- ed to the Oshawa Fish and Game Protective Association, at the an- nual meeting of the Ontario body, at North Bay, It was first won by Owen Sound. It is presented each year to the club that makes the most outstanding contribution to conservation, with the decision based on the information contain- ed in each club's yearly achieve- ment report. The Oshawa Fish and Game Club carries out a full pro- gram of conservation each year, including' contests, fox drives, com- petitions, indoor meetings, junior club, etc., with the stream im- provement plan promoted and started last year by the Oshawa i group being the outstanding fac- ff tor in deciding the 1952 winners of the trophy. All local enthusiasts will be in- ; terested to know that Lang is ap- # pearing at the Pickering High Beverley Hills some years ago (in 1936) he presented her with a fly of his own creation and named it School Auditorium this Thursday evening (tomorrow) at 8 p.m. when he will show two color reels of fishing in Mexico --the Canadian Rockies -- the Yukon and Alaska. This is a thrilling pictuge of the great outdoors. Lang will also hold a fishing clinic and give demon- strations of casting. This special attraction should be of great inter- est to all the sportsmen and wom- en of Oshawa and district. REFEREE MAKES A HIT Wrestling returned to Oshawa last night with a crowd of over 1,800 attending promoter "Pat" Mil- osh's first card of the season, at Oshawa Arena, and they also got the re r Tuesday night drama festival off to a flying start with a sizzling "hey-rube'" that followed a wild and hectic climax of the main bout. 4 There were several new faces on last night's card and 'The Red Mask' could be said to have made an auspicious debut here, certainly he's one of the most hated men of the week, already this morning with it only Wednesday yet, but the Xn who made the biggest hit of the night was Referee Joe Gallob, Genial Joe, who never has been popular with the local mat patrons, was in fine form last night. Joe, who insists his name is spelled with two L's -- but not to be confused with "Gallo(p) Poll" -- claims to the only wrestling referee that was ever actually shot at and one of the few to be stabbed (he should live so long) and also poses as quite a courtroom orator, was the centre Main Bout Ends With Rivals On of some rugged action here last night. REFEREE HAS A TURN Maybe there were a few fans who were still carrying a grudge over from last year, when Joe's work in some bouts didn't exactly tickle the fancy of the local pat- rons -- or maybe it was just one of those things. At any rate, after Mieus. Gollob had counted out both Bobo Brazil and The Red Mask. be- cause those two powerful pachy- derms insisted on trying to finish their bout (eash was looking for a third fall) among the ringside seats, the big rhubarb started as the gladiators and referee wended their way to the dressing room. In the melee one fan attempted Pujich Joseph right in front, from ehind with a boot and Mrs. Gal- lob's boy didn't take kindly to this. He wheeled and slapped down his nearest aggressor, then wheeled again and this time he closed his fingers (was quite some shakes as a boxer, in his day, this boy Joe) and the next assailant to get the treatment became the big hit of the night -- but on the receiving end. In Draw Outside Identity of the chap who got slugged was difficult to establish but, as the song goes -- every Tom, Dick and Harry's Called John -- so John, he got it. And oh yes -- the near-riot broke up immediately if not sooner! MAIN BOUT A PLEASER The main bout was a real crowd pleaser and no doubt they'll be back again, although Pat Milosh has announced that next week he'll have the Canadian team champions on hand, Lou Plumber and Dick Raines, the chaps who scored the double victory in Hamilton, recent- The Red Mask, who proved just as di as most of these birds who hide their identity (he should be ashamed, the cad) and also proved a lot bigger than most, won the first fall but Bobo evened it up with a drop-kick and shoulder stand. Ref. Gollab objected stren- ously to Brazil using his favorite koko-konk and this is what irked the fans; no doubt. Of course, later on Bobo used the Koko -- on both the Red Mask and referee but, as mentioned before, the bout ended in ha Pickering H.S. Plans Field Day A total of 65 events will be run off for boys and girls when the Pickering Jugh School Field Day is held on Tuesday May 12, Boys will compete in four class- es, nior, 17, 18 and 19 years; Intermediate, 15 and 16 years; Jun- jor, 13 and 14 years; Bantam, un- der pounds. Girls will compete in Senior In- termediate and Junior classes. The boys' track team, under Mr. R. M. Hall of the teaching staff, has been practising for two weeks now r school hours. Pickering boys' winners at Field Day will represent their school at Peferboro on Monday, May. 18. This is a large District Meet with 14 schools competing. Last year in ther first try Pickering placed sixth. Not all boy' winners and second place winners will become mem- bers .of the inter-school track team. A student at Pickering District High School must qualify not only on the field but also in the class- room. A passing standard must be maintained in o to qualify. This quite often means that a stu- dent who is a good athlete is lost from the school te am when his grades: fall, However, the staff at Pickering feel it is far better to migs playing inter-school s; for a ferm and Jose rather than play a season and fail. All of the public who are inter- ested are invited come and watch the Field Day. Events start at 9.30 a.m. and will continue un- til 3.30 p.m., Tuesday, May 12. Stengel Rumors Mantle at Short ST. LOUIS (AP)--Manager Casey stengel of New York Yankees, concerned over his mounting in- field problems, said Tuesday he might switch Mickey Mantle to shortstop. The New York World-Telegram and Sun, in a story by Dan Daniel, quoted Stengel as asking: "Suppose one of these days you found Mickey Mantle playing short for me? Mind, this Mantle shift is nothing in the immediate future. I believe it will be another month before all of us know exactly where we stand." Stengel is worried over the fail- ure of Jim Brideweser to come through as a replacement in case Phil Rizzuto gets injured. "Suppose Rizzuto failed to hold up and I sent Mickey to short with Irv Noren playing centre against righthanded pitching and Bill Renna against southpaws? Wouldn't that lineup give opposi- tion pitchers plenty worry about?" Cobb in Hospital After Heart Attack TWIN FALLS, Idaho (AP)----Ty Cobb, former major league base- ball star, entered hospital Tues- day to rest from what hospital at- tendants said was a heart ailment. They reported Cobb was in "fair" condition. Cobb came to Twin Falls for the opening of the Pioneer League baseball season here last Friday and has been visiting friends here since. Cobb formerly operated a bottling plant in Twin Falls. a draw when the two battlers wad- ed into each other -- out among the ringside seats. The first bout, between Jan Gotch and Ovilia Asseline ended in a draw, the preliminary boys giving the fans a full half-hour of varied grunt 'n' groan tactics and enter- tainment. Hans Herman defeated Don Beitleman of Buffalo, in the semi- final, using the "Prussian Squeeze' so well that Beitleman had to "give up". Hans then goose-stepped from the ring and gave his provoking "heil" salute -- which sent the fans into a frenzy real early. the n following the death re- 8 gg M OHA Top Officers of president Stewart o- avish in Montreal. was uno In by Acclamation in the nomination lists.
