New blood and new life have rejuvenated the Central League and it is expected that it will again assume its rightful place as Ontario's premier loop. Baseball is about ready to awake irom' its long winter slumber, and the first signs of it in Oshawa will | be a session next Thursday evening, a "smoker and get together meeting" which the executive have called to officially open the season here. The meeting is held for the purpose of making the players acquainted and a | good time is assured for the holders of invitations. The proceedings are billed to get under way at eight clock sharp, and will be held in the General Motors Convention Hall on Mary street, This will be the first gun fired in the war which Oshawa G.M.C. club will wage for the gonfa- lon of the Central Ontario League. + Walter Schultz, manager of the team, and "Stan" Burgoyne, the} coach, . have declared that the boys will all have to fight for positions, as already a large squad have signified their intentions of turning out with the team.
