Chevrolets' injured list and ab- gentees from the team was indeed a lengthy one for yesterday's game and there is no alibi required be- yond this condition to account for George Hill's motormen's defeat. Despite their lamentably weakened condition, however, they played a brave game and in fact, it is to their eredit that the score against them wasn't even greater. Right Hamilton men were left stranded on the sacks thanks to the team's smart work in the pinches. At the top of the under-the-wea- ther list 'was "Ike™ Sutton, the team's star pitcher, and one of the most reliable hitters, who was in- jured playing rugby against Ham- fiton Tigers last Saturday, and was unable to even he present at the game, Chevs' fast little second sacker, Bill Gummow, was alsa out of the line up and was missed both at bat and on the field, through his departure to Flint, Michigan, to continue his studies. Another rusg- by victim was Doc Rowden, and 'although he managed to hobble through the game, he was unable to run to first base have heen unable to go after fly balls except that an was further shaken as a result, However, the game go the spoils, Wentworths played the same snappy, hard hitting game they had shown all the way through thel previous two games tnd on the day's performance ,they deserv- ed to win heir team was danger- pus in every department and they proved themselves to he drnmerous hitters all the way down the hat- Woods and E. Jarvis, the two most dangerous hitters, scored this time while the lead-off man, G. Jarvis, did the tallying in the first canto Run number five crossed the plate in the eighth when Hamilton took their last bat. Lewis, the sec- ond last batter, scored this time, an error, a ifelder's choice and a single paving the way for the tally. Alex. Webster turned in about the nicest game of any yesterday, pitching and fielding his position in an exceptional style. As was the case up in Hamilton, it was no fault of his that the team lost. There is no other plaver today who could have come in from his regu- lar position at center to piteh iil a pinch as Alex did yesterday. Doc Rowden, under the circumstances, also played a fine game yesterday and incidentally came through with the hit in the ninth that brought Alex home with Chevs' only run of the game. Alex was the first man up in the ninth - inning' and drew a walk. Lloyd Hall followed with a hit down to the second basemen, on which Alex went to second. The next batter popped out to first base but with two out, Doc came through with a beautiful hit through short which went out to left field to permit Alex to score from second base.

Yours for saving, Edmund's Battery Service Phone 925 - King St. West ENE EE ER EE Hamilton deserved to win yesterday but had their victory been with Chevs fielding their strongest team, the result would have been more satisfactory. The only players yesterday in their regular positions and playing their regular game were Scott Hubbell at first, Gord. Young at short, Howard Hall in left field and Eddie O'Doud in right field. Doc Rowden was playing his regular position but with a charlie horse knee it' could hardly be said that he was playing his usual game. Almost 200 Oshawa fans journeyed up to Viaduct Park to see the game and were disappointed with the result although they readily recognized the cause. Tt looked at first like a shut out game but Alex Webster came through in the ninth after he had drawn a walk and advanced on Lloyd Hall's ground hit ball, to score from second on Doc Rowden's timely hit through to left field. After Webster scored, there was a regular barrage of hits and in less than no time, the bases were loaded with Scott Hubbell to bat. Stories of home runs with three men on bases in the ninth inning, to win the championship game, flashed into the minds of the Oshawa supporters and a ripple of expectant. excitement ran through the crowd. Five balls were pitched to Hubbell and the count was three and two, then the "Casey at the Bat" poem came into the same minds of the same fans as the umpire called the third strike to end the game, on a low ball on the outside which was a strike and that's about all. Thus ended the game, but the fault can by no means be laid at Hubbell's door. He has played too nice a brand of ball all through the season for a thing like that. Local fans still have some softball to see however, the next game being the ladies tilt at the Collegiate grounds Saturday afternoon at 3.15 o'clock between Chevs and North Bay Rinkey Dinks. This will be a game worth seeing and if you don't go to Brampton for the lacrosse game, or to Ulster Stadium for the soccer game, or to Guelph for the rughy game or to Alexandra Park for the Collegiate rugby or Oshawa City football games, we suggest you go to the Collegiate to see the ladies play. If 2,600 Oshawa people see sporting engagements on Saturday, we figure that 1,000 will go to Brampton, 250 to Ulster Stadium, 50 to Guelph, 300 to the Collegiate rughy game, 300 to the Oshawa City soccer game and 600 to the ladies' game. A fair division eh what? Anyone that doubts there will be 1,000 Oshawa people at Brampton Saturday had better watch tomorrow's paper--we're gathering statistics and right now we know of nearly 500 people who are going to see the championship battle. To decide the runners-up in the league race and to limber up the players for the coming championship cup series, which commences at the end of the league schedule, Oshawa City Football Club is slated to play the 48th Highlanders on Saturday with the kick off at 3.30 o'clock at Alexandra Park, This hespeaks an excellent game since the merit of the Highlanders is already known locally, The following players have been asked to turn out: Harris, McKellar, Saxby, Cunliffe, F. and C.

Funny as it may seem, the professors' idea of rules and changes were excellent, and happy days thereafter were spent in Rugby. Other schools, looking on, also thought the game was something better than the ordinary affair and adopted it or played "according to Rugby". Gradually the new rules which were improved as time went on, became accepted all through the Is in England, and to distinguish this from the old game, the clubs played "Rughy" style of game. About 1860 "Rugby" was being played all over England and by 1870 it was'a thoroughly establshed game although as compared to our present game, it was still in a decidedly ¢rude form, it still at that time being considered good policy to kick the other felow's shins when he elected to run with the ball. By 1890 the game had become a great winter sport throughout the United Kingdom, and by this time it had been introduced into both United States and Canada, bringing the game nearer home and nearer the subject of the game as it is being played today. of which we are more concerned. career with U.C.C., then played for two years with De La Salle.
