SPORT SNAPSHOTS Tomorrow is the big day in American history--the openin a f th 1928 World Series, y y opening day of the But on top of the World Series, there's plenty of local sport to think about, For instance there's the championship battle at Viaduct Park this afternoon between Chevs and Hamilton Wentworths for the Intermediate Softball Championship of Ontario. So far as we know at present, there's nothing on the books except the World Series on Thursday but the Inter-School Track and Field meet be- tween Bowmanville, Oshawa and Whitby is being held at Alexandra Park on Friday while the next day should be Oshawa's banner day in sports, At the top of the list Saturday comes the final championship lacrosse battle between Brampton and Oshawa at Brampton. Interest is, mount- ing in this oncoming battle and already, for instance, a special bus which Dis been chartered by Mike Bouckley for the occasion, is already nearly illed. There'll be a hot time in Brampton Saturday night if Oshawa wins while if Brampton overcomes the four goal lead to win the Crown, the militia will probably have to be called out to keep the Bramptonites under restraint, The crowd up in Brampton schould be even greater than that down here and take it from us, Teddy Reeve and company will have to keep at their knitting all the time if they want to haul in the bunting, Soccer enthusiasts will be found in Ulster Stadium on Saturday, where General Motors are playing their third and deciding game with Hamilton Thistles in the semi-finals for the Ontario Cup. Those who know their soccer know that this will be a game worth travelling to the Queen City to sec, Then there is rugby on the bills for Saturday and no less than three Oshawa teams are playing in the O.R.F.U, on that day. The result of the local intermediates first game of the season, against Guelph, will be followed with particular interest and a few fans may accompany the team, The Ontario Union has finally organized its No. 2 Intermediate newcomer, is "rearing to go." The motor burg is a red-hot sports community, with teams in the baschall playeffs, intermediate softball finals, senior lacrosse race final round, won its group in women's softball, is always to the fore in hockey and other seasonal sports, and awaits the gridiron grind with impatience, Chairman Nicholls of the Industrial Relations Committee of the General Motors Corporation was the prime mover in football, and was solidly supported by Osha- wans generally, "Let's go!" they say in unison, Rughy will see its official opening of the season here next Saturday when Oshawa Collegiate meets their ancient rivals, Peterboro, in a senior Central Ontario R.F.U, league battle. That this will be a game worth sceing is assured and a large crowd is expected, While the seniors are entertaining Peterboro seniors here, the junior wearers of the green, gold and red will journey to the Lift Lock City to meet the Peterboro juniors in O.C.I's first junior battle of the season, Then last to he mentioned, but not least, is the ladies softball tilt between North Bay Rinkey Dinks and Alex Webster's Chevys. Chevys will be fighting with their backs against the wall in their game here and with any kind of support, may be able to make a third game necessary, The game is slated for 3.15 o'clock and Chevys figure that the bigger the crowd, the better their chances will be, RU GBY EXPLAINED THE GAME UNTIL 1880 by the Birdie Rugby on several occasions has been taboo in England, not because of its roughness, but because of the infernal racket that was made while it was being played. And when a game was played in those days, it was played. A whole village would take part against another, just as an Indian tribe would take on its next door neighbour for a game of lacrosse in the A Sr days gone by, shins, fields were picked out and these being smaller, only the able about one hundred. favourite pastime, the game, still with only rules of a hazy nature, entered the 19th century. In this manner, however, it was being played in England, Ireland, Scotland and France although to the best of our knowledge, the English went in for it the most extensively. This, by the way, may have been one reason why England was able to clean up on most everything else when it came to war during that period, But it remained for youngsters to revolutionize the game. These, going to the famous Public Schools in the Old Land were rather envious of their fathers' distine- tion in playing by the hundreds on the village greens, so they got together and also had games, but the number of boys in the school being limited, the number on the team was again cut, this time to about thirty, and in this manner until about 1830, the game advanced with indifferent success. But another step was contract has not been signed. taken around 1830 so we shall save the remains of the step for The only rules of the game at that time, it seems, were the Marquis of Queensbury, and let every man look out for his At first, the streets and highways were used and the matter of a ball was a minor detail. But there were too many rocks on the roads, and people, as the use of armour died out, began to object to too many doctor bills, so some nice soft bodied men of the village were allowed to take part. This cut the number of contestants down from around five hundred to 80 with about one hundred players indulging in their Yanks and Cards Rest For Opener on _ Thursday New York, Oct. 2. -- New York and St. Louis baseball players to- day wasted a lot of hase hits they will need on and after Thursday afternoon. The World Series con- tenders engaged in perfunctory practice, confined almost entirely to batting, The Yanks took no in- field workout, and the only regu- lar Cardinal infielders to exhibit their wares 'were Andy High and Rabbit Maranville. The two vet- eran insisted that they needéd work, Coach Charles O'Leary let the American League infield off for the day, but promised that he would hit some sizzling grounders down to them tomorrow, With only one day keeping them apart from actual hostiities there is a marked contrast in the demean- or of the players on the field. The Yankees with every reason to feet blue over an extended hospital list, apparently are care free. They joked as they went about their abbreviated work-out. They may be whistling to keep their courage up. There was great excitement and much cheering among the players when the diminutive Leo Durocher dove a hall into the stands, The Cardinals, on the other hand, impatient for the "scriou and the world in general. dently was a hint against frater- nizing, 3 There was also a bit of general wrangling regarded as a healthy sign in ball players and fighters, Manager Bill McKechnie contin- ues to insist that he has not de- cided on the opening game pitcher, but all the players think Bill is as certain to nominate Willie Sherdel as the silent Huggins is to draw the name of Waite Hoyt out of is old brown hat, BAGGAGEMAN INJURED WHEN TRAIN DERAILED Montreal, Oct. 3.--Baggageman Weeks ,of Albany, N.Y, was in- jured when the engine and baggage and express cars of the Delaware & Hudson Troy-to-Montreal train were derailed four miles north of Napierville, Que., yesterday. The accident was caused .by a broken rail, Weeks was taken to the Na- pierville Hospital. The passen- gers were badly shaken, but suf- fered little or no injuries, play to begin, erab at each other'! Cardinals Have Fege on Defence For World Series New York, Oct. 2.--The some- what general recollection is that old Pete Alexander stopped the Yankees two years ago and enabled' the Cardinals to win the world's series. The bald facts are, how- ever, that if the Yankee defense hadn't cracked up in the fourth and permitted the National Leag- uers to gain a three-run lead, there would have been no opportunity for old Pete to pull the heroic stuff, A good offence may be the best defence in football, but not in 'baseball. The home-run drive, like the forward pass is a more spectacular instrument, but it takes a flock of circuit clouts to offset a wobbly defence. i Where Cards Have Edge The Cardinals appear to have a sight defénsive edge = over the world's champion Yankees in their forthcoming battle, especially if the superior pitching array of the Red Birds is taken into account as a de-' fensive factor. On the season's fielding averages the National Leaguers have a five-point margin, the figures sohwing .974 and .969. This paper edge for the National League champions may turn out to be even greater in actual combat if the crippled Yankee infield, eve ery regular member of which has been a casualty, fails to function up to its usual high standard. Last year the Yankees yielded to no team in the strength of its in. ner cordon, but this season, Laz zeri, keystone man, has been out a good share of the time and is still handicapped by a sore arm, Dugan's decline forced Huggins to alternate at third with Robert- son and Gazella, but jumping Joe is slated to work in the series when' southpaws are pitching for the Cards. ARGOS START NEW STYLE INTERFERENCE Toronto, Oct. 3.--Argonaut sen- fors were introduced to a new sys tem of interferences by Coach Dr. Frank Knight at yesterday's prac- tice at Varsity campus.
