PAGE EIGHT THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1928 ' 1,000 PEOPLE MAY GO FROM HERE TO BRAMPTON TOMORROW Largest Contingent in Years o Leave Os awa, to See Final Championship Lacrosse Game for Senior Lacrosse Title of Ontario Beyond a doubt the largest com- tingent of people that ever left Oshawa with an objective in com- non to all will be that which sees out from here tomorrow to see the final and deciding game for the senior amateur lacrosse champion- thip of Ontario which is being played at Brampton at 3.15 o'clock in the afternoon betweem Bramp- ton Excelsiors and Oshawa General Motors. Fully one thousand people are expected to make the journey and already three special busses, seven trucks and over sixty automobiles are known to be making the trip. in all, it can be easily expected that 100 cars will leave at the last miute, to go to Brampion to see what promises to be the most out- standing lacrosse game that has been played in many seasons, The four goal lead which Osh- awa carries to Brampton with them will only tend to maie it an even | faster and better game since Brampton will go on the field real- jzing that they will have to play and play hard from the very first in order to overcome the lead and win the championship crown, The mere winning of the game means nothing to them; goals count on the round and they are out to win the round or nothing at all. Under these circumstances, George Munroe's team will have to watch their step and at the same time, that step will have to be a smart and unfaltering one or iu Jess than no time the green and white men will ind themselves ai the short end of an overwhelming' score, Remembering the old adage that a strong offence is the best de- fence, the Moior City boys will, like Brampton, be right out from the first to score goals, decisive and often and with this being the case, a large scoring game can Feadily he anticipated. Oshawa's prowess around the nets was well shown here last Sat- urday in one of the greatest games ever contested locally, Ior three full quarters, exactly sixty minutes, these same two teams battled with only one goal being scored, Then in the last period Oshawa staged a pensational onslaught and three goals were scored hy Teday lLievve, Shepley and Smithson in succes- pion, to give Oshawa their impres- sive 4 to 0 victory, Goals may come just as rapidly as this in the game at Brampton and if such is the case, there will be at least 1,000 people present who are madly cheering if the scores are for Oshawa. On. the pther hand, if and when Brampton scores, there will be upwards of 8,000 lusty lunged voices to throw their acclaim to the skies, So great is the crowd which is being expected at the home of the Excelsiors that special arrange- ments are being made to handle the crowd, despite the fact that there is ample room at the Bramp- ton Park to handle over 2,000 pepole, This in itself bespeaks a game which will be no ordinary con- test, and if anyone doubts our word for it, let him go to Brampton himself and see, CUBS WIN SECOND OF SERIES FROM SOX Won Lost P.C.

The line is about the same, big and powerful, with every man adept in the trick of tackling. Red Foster, who is counted on for backfield work, is still on the injured list and will not play against McGill, while Tea Reeve, who is helping Oshawa to the On- tario lacrosse championship, will also be absent, Fred Ogden and Frank Commins are the others of last year's regulars who are not ex- pected in uniform on Saturday, Lou Snyder will be at flying wing, while Ross Robertson and Buck Billings will he on the backfield, with both sharing in the booting, Earl Smith will be the second defensive halt wth Alex Ponto at quarter. Scott is counted on to start as snap flanked by Crowhurst and McNichol at in. sides, Amer and Hamlin will served at middle wing with Keiilh and De- Witt at outsides, The subs will be chosen from the following: Crozier, McKenuzie, Lewis, Caldwell, North- am, Trimble, Anderson, Charney, | Taylor and J. Smith. | LEDUC SIGNS THREE YEAR CONTRACT WITH CANADIENS Montreal, Que., Oct. 4--Albert Le- duc has renewed his contract with the Canadien Hockey Club, of the Na- tional Hockey League. The defence player, it is understood, has signed for another three years at an in- creased salary, though the amount has not been divulged, With Leduc definitely on the dotted line of a Canadien contract, a quietus has been placed on rumors that were prevalent six weeks ago and which have heen revWed off and on since then that Leduc was to be sold by Canadiens to the Ottawa Senators, Manager Cecil Hart will have four defence players this season: Leduc and Sylvia Mantha, of last year's team; Martin Burke, recalled from Pittsburg, and Gerald Carson, of the famous hockey family, who was in the Canadian-American League last winter. R by the UGBY EXPLAINED Birdle GETTING THE GAME INTO CANADA Canada's first Dominion-wide Rubgy-Foot- ball Association was formed in 1882 and the same association, reorganized and known as the Canadian Rugby Union is today the high gov- erning body of Rughy in Canada, This date shows, if nothing else, that Rugby is by no means in its first trouser stages as far as the gridiron game Speaking of gridiron, it is concerned, may not be out of place at this stage to explain where they get this "gridiron" stuff. Web- ster's dictionary defintion on the word, at first glance, would -give one a terrible shock since his first definition of gridiron is "An iron grating used for torture by fire." The actual mean- ing of gridiron, however, with which gridiron as connected with rugby is concerned is more clearly pointed out in a later meaning for the word, found in the same dictionary. This definition is "A series of parallel bars constructed as in an iron grating." The parallel white the connecting link. To get back to the history lines on a rugby field, serve as of the game, however, suffice to say that with the establishment of the rules of Rugby School throughout the British Isles and accepted in part in United States and in Canada, the game made leaps and bounds, both in popularity and in adding the finishing touches to the rules and regulations, so that today we have what we consider an almost perfeet style of game, By this we mean the game in general, in- cluding all the varieties of rugby such as is played in England today, in the United States and 'in Canada. Tomorrow we shall get down to business on the Canadian game and begin telling what it's all about, and ex- : plaining if we can, the why's and wherefor's of the game. As a Local Artist Looks at it A tough proposition is this Intermediate O.R.F.U. but once General Motors of Oshawa does get hold of it, well, remember the old saying, the bigger they are the harder they fall, "Bubs" Britton Out of Game For Possibly Month Kingston, Oct. 4--Queen's received their hardest blow of the week, and probably of the year, when it was definitely announced .at the Richard. son Stadium this afternoon that "Bubs" Britton, star flying wing and captain of the team, would not he able to play on Saturday and may not he able to take part in ie for three weeks. Britton's kuce was injured by a kick in the game at Hamilton, and while he was practic- ing on Wednesday afternoon he was injured again. Britton is now in the General Hospital, and an X-ray was taken, which revealed that there is a bone all broken in the leg above the knee. Physicians ordered Britton out of Saturday's game, and stated that they did not think he would be able to pay for several weeks, The star flying wing, however, insists that he will be all right, but this afternoon it was announced that he could not be counted on for Saturday. The news of Britton's injury sent the Tricolor stock down considerably, for "Bubs" was going good when in- jured, He seemed faster than ever, and was tackling better. His ab- sence means the team will have to be shifted about, and the result will be two untried senior players will be shoved in at the start on Saturday, Armour Munro will now likely be started at flying wing, with either "Unc" Durham or "Red" Gilmore starting on the half line with Warren and Carter. Gilmore seems to have the edge, though Durham, by virtue of his greater experience, may get the call for the place, On top of Britton's injury, Coach Carson was very doubtful if Mona- han will be able to play at all. The big middle wing donned a uniform and while he was not on the playing field he tried running and went twice around the track, though limping considerably. Monahan is keen on getting into Saturday's game, and de- spite the doctor's orders he main- tains that he'll be ready to go on Saturday. In his condition, however, even if he does start, too much can- not be expected from him. Hagen Beaten hy Diegel in U.S. ro Golf Tourney Five Farms Course, Baltimore, Md, Oct. 4--The miracle happened. The Jinx is broken. Walter Hagen was beaten by Leo Dicgel today in the quarter-finals of the National Pio- fessional Golf title tournament, and his four-year reign as champion is at an end, The score was 2 up and 1 to play. ' For the first time since 1923, when Gene Sarazen nosed him out in the final by one up in 38 holes, the great Sir' Walter met a man who could match him in competitive spirit and skill in this big pro fixture, over which Hagen has exercised paternal- istic rule for so long. Diegel fairly won his victory and a chance at the championship by fighting off one of Hagen's famous rallies and holing out a 14-foot putt for a birdie two on the thirty-fifth green. It was up to the Haig then to do the same if he was to save his crown, and he missed by about three inches. The downfall of Hagen, around whom a tradition of invincibility had been woven because of the regularity with which he has won this title, to- tally eclipsed in the eyes of the big gallery the other three quarter-final matches, in which Gene Sarazen. Al Espinosa and Horton Smith, of Jop- lin, Mo., emerged victorious.

YANKS' ARTILLERY BETTER THAN CARDS' New York, Oct. 5.--The Ruth- Gehrig firm of heavy hitters out- distanced Bottomley and Hafey, the big St. Louis guns, by five hits to two in the opening game of the world series. The Babe scored two runs and Gehrig batted in a pair to aid the Yankee victory, while Bottomley got a harmless home run and a still more harmless single to save the Cardinals from a shut- out, Here is what they did: Ruth First inning, doubled to right, and scored on Gehrig's double; fourth inning, doubied to centre, and scored on Meusel's homer; sixth inning, called out on atrikeg; eighth inning, singled to t.

George Morgan, the only survivor of the "Four Horsemen" of 1927, watch- ed the practice from the sidelines, owing to a cold, but he will be able to do his bit against the Tricolor, The Blue and White squad is an inexperienced one, as only six of the twenty-one players were with the In- tercollegiate team last year, although quite a number received their 1927 tuition in the O.R.F.U., while others are in their first year at the local university. With only three weeks in which to prepare them for the open- ing game, the coach decided to stress defensive formations and tackling in the early part of the season, and then gradually introduce offensive plays which became more complicated as time progressed. So far, the students have little in the way of offensive plays beyond straight football, and an effort has been made, and with con- siderable success, to make the play- ers, individually and as a team, per- fect in this respect. Next Saturday, the locals will entertain McGill, an then will have a two weeks' lapse before Pueen's visits the local sta- dium. By that time, it is hoped, the Blue and White will haye reached the form expected of them by Blackwell, who is optimistic, to say the least. HELD AS WITNESS Wndsor, Ont., Oct. 5.--A pos- sible source of rumor that a gang was connected with the mail car hold-up was the arrest in Chatham of Ernest Lusby, who is held as a material witness.

Yanks Get "Seven -- Safe Hits Against Three For Cards to Win World Series Opener e Ruth Two and Single in at Bat While Gets of Bags H Louis St >, New York, Oct. 4.--For a crew of cripples and invalids, there's still quite a kick in the old Yankee boatload. Opening fire where they left off last year, the world's champion New York Americans, behind the brilliant sharp-shooting of Waite Hoyt, shelled the St. Louis Card- inals into submission by a score of 4 to 1 in the opening game of the 1928 world series. Before a crowd of 61,425, that fell far short of record-breaking expectations, Hoyt held the Card- inals to three hits, one of them a home run by Jim Bottomley, while the big guns of the Yankees' man- o'-war, Babe Ruth Lou Gehrig and Bob Muesel, fired the shots that routed Willie Sherdel, clever St. Louis southpaw, and the National League champions, They may be limping a trifle on the field,. these Yankees, while more severely injured mates are on the sidelines, but there is noth- ing the matter with their batting eyes when hits count. The pitching staff may be shot to pieces, but with Hort around to do a full day's wo. there's at least one mighty rig. arm left to repel most any boa: .g party in sight or spike the encmy's guns. With one of the best world ser- ies games he has ever pitched and he has turned in a number of sparkling performances, Waite Hoyt spiked all the Cardinal Big Berthas today with the exception of Bottomley. Sunny Jim's homer into the right centre section of the outfield bleachers was a robust clout, in the seventh inning. He also punched out a line single in the ninth as a farewell shot, but otherwise the only Cardinal to hit safely was George Washington Harper, who singled in the fifth for tht first enemy blow. Not a Cardinal foot trod as far as second base except for Bottom- ley, as Hoyt turned back every other thrust. The Yankee ace was a trifle wild, especially in the last few innings when he seemed to tire, but he was masterful in such few pinches as he experienced, in- cluding the eighth, when the Cards rushed in reserves, but got nothing more than a base on balls for their exertion, Altogether Hoyt faced only 32 batsmen and struck out 6, twice fanning the slugging outfield star, Chick Hafey.

Two more wins will give the American Association champions the title. It was an uphill fight for the locals at the start, for Rochester drove Danny Boone off the mound with a four run rally in the first inning. Dixie Leverett then took up the pitching burden for the Hoosiers and the Red Wings' bats were virtually useless the rest of the day. He al- lowed but four hits in 8 2-3 innings, Break Out in Fifth In the fifth, however, the Hoosier bats began to ring out hits again, Two runners counted in that frame and two innings later another went across, The game was iced in the cighth when Irvin was driven off the mound and Smith was greeted with a hit which ran the Indianapolis total to twelve. To Walter Holke, veteran first baseman for the Indianapohs team, went much of the glory of the vic tory, Five times he came to the plate and on each occasion he hit safely, driving in four runs, Third baseman Haney and Shortstop War- stler made some nifty stops for the winners, Shortstop Gelbert and sec- ond-baseman Toporter did well both at bat and in the field for Rochester, Manager Billy Southworth was out of the Rorchester line-up because of an injured knee.
