SHAWA'S FIRST LA THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, MONDAY. OCTOBER 22. 1928 CROSSE TEAM FORMED HERE 56 YEARS AGO J. W. Borsberry, Member of First Team Ever Formed in Oshawa, Tells of Incident to Toronto Interests Hamilton, BE i A ation of a ¢ been definitely settled, there be announcement regarding the , +e) and another secured on option, a it was nned to start training about the first of November, Newark Seeking Another Celebrity To Manage Team Newark, Oct. 30.--The next mana- er of the Newark Bears, to succeed alter Johnston who has gone to Washington, will be another "big name" man who can draw crowds as Johnston did, If a "big name" man can't be obtained then the job will go to Bill Clymer, considered by the Newark owner and his organization, as the best manager in minor league ball today. That s the lowdown at Newark, the wealthiest minor league club in the country, Paul Block, the owner, wants another big league star for the job and Tris Speaker and Eddie Collins are both in the running. Ty Cobb would be, too, if he could be obtained at a reasonable figure, But Cobb wants $50,000 or $75,000 for himself. While the Newark Club can and does pay major league salaries it can't go as high as the Cobb fig- ures, Walter Johnston got $20,000 at Newark, Had he finished in the first three he might have made as much as $30,000, the salary he has signed for in Washington, Johnson signed a two-year contract at Newark, but Mr, Block released him from this contract so he could go to Washington. When Johnson left Washington and signed as Newark manager he had no idea of ever re. turning to Washington, Nor did Clark Griffith, Washington owner, expeet Walter back. But it is freely stated in the East that Griffith decided to + get Johnson back because the fans were sore at his leaving, and attend- ance was dropping. And there is no doubt but that Johnson will be a drawing card at the Capitol, Announcement of Johnson's succes- sor probably will be made known a- round the middle of November. And right now it is rumored Tris Speaker has the best chance of getting the fob, Speaker has been mentioned as suyer of the Dallas and Baltimore ranchises, but it is known he is not at all anxious to be a magnate.

Sh BL .CNE ST. NORTH LOST! ' Airedale Dog $25 Reward i, Phone 1210 or 165 awa, G6 years ago, now light through the still excellent memory of J, W, Borsbery, one of Oshawa's prominent citizens and a member of this first Oshawa team ever to carry lacrosse aticks into manly combat against other municipalities, Teams in Bowmanville, Port Hope and Millbrook, then all just as large in size as Oshawa, were ayed by this Oshawa team in the rst year of ita being and like the Oshawa Intermediate rugby team of this year, this team of 66 years ago met with excellent and gratify- ing success in the first year of its inception, This team of 1872 made up In brawn and natural ability what it lacked in experience at the first of the season, but as time advanced, they became able to equally match their brawn with the value of ex- perience and the result was seen fix years afterwards when Osh. awa's championship team of 1878 was developed. The only members of this team of 1872 who were also members of the 1878 team, were Oliver "Ollie" Sebert, who now resides in Whit- by, and William Gullock, who has passed away. Indeed Oliver Se- bert along with J. W, Borsbery, of Oshawa, are the only two men still living of those who originated the game in this district. All the re. mainder have passed away, the lat. est to go being Richard Troy, the team's celebrated goal keeper who died last week at the age of 78, Mr, Borsbery, referring to Osh awa's first lacrosse team which was formed here in 1872, tells The Times, "The first I became interested in the club being formed here in Oshawa was when the secretary, Wheeler Dickle, called on me and asked me to join the elub, I ask- ed him what it would cost and he said $1, I told him I would like very much to become a member, but had not the cash until I res celved my pay at the end of the month for working as a clerk in G. F. Blainey's grocery store. "Wheeler Dickie sald, "That will be all right, you can give me your LOU. I didn't know at the time what that meant but I marked a plece of paper 1.0.U, §1, and sign- ed J. W, Borshery, and the follow ing week we started to practice in the field next to Trick's factory, We got up at 5 o'clock in the morn- Ing to practice and met three times a week, some of the hoys having to walk from as far away as the Five Points to attend these workouts, "Many of the boys who originat- ed the game in Oshawa have now passed away, hut some whose names I remember are C, Steele, Wm, Woon, Wm, Carswell, Bam- uel Dearborn, W, Gullock, Wheeler Dickie, Oliver Sebert and his bro- ther, and myself," Besides being Oshawa's first la- crosse team, this in all probability would be Oshawa's first team of any nature, to epter competitive sport, the father as it were of the many sports which are now foster- ed in this city and which all tiour- ish just as did this first lacrosse team of 1872, APRIL IS MOST POPULAR MONTH FOR WEDDINGS Oitawa, Oct. 81,--April 13 be- coming a popular month for wed- dings in Canada, Marriages reach- ed a 'otal of 65,449 in April last, which is the highest figure for that mouih on record at the Dor minion Burean of Statistics.

FORMER B. C. PREMIER IS FEDERAL NOMINEE Victoria, Oct. 31.--Hon. J. A. MacLean, former Premier of Brit- ish Columbis, was the unanimous choice of the Liberals of Victorias at a nominating convention Tues- day, as the party's candidate in the Federal by-election on December 6b. The Victories vacancy in the House of Commons was caused by the resignation of Hon. 8. F. Tole mie, to lead the Provincial Con- servative party. Mr. MacLean's peme was the only one proposed at the conven tion. . until a future date but the Weekly Honour Roll, will come into being in Saturday's Sotuma, For the benefit of those who look some nights for Strikes, Spar- es and Blows, and' are disappointed that the column fs supposed to rum every Wednesday and Saturday each week unless other work 'pre- vents the writer from collecting the necessary toms o Interest, To enter the charmed domain of the Weekly Honour Roll, a score of 260 or more must be bowled. All those from now on rolling above 249 may expect to see their names displayed in Rint. Some bowlers may be in the Hon. our Roll every week but it we find this 1s the case, or if too many are bowling aver 260, we intend to raise the limit to 376 or over, + 8 9 Speaking of good and consistent bowling, Jack Ogden stands in the Klelg lights at present with twelve consecutive games at the Ma'or City every one of which were better than 200. The exact scores for these twelve wer 227, 253, 227, 249, 360, 309, 248, 301, 288, 274, 237 and 383, making a total of 3,» 9365 and an average of 343.76. This is the best record which has come to our notice yet his year, * Up in the Toronto alleys where the game has been established for many years, every time a bawler totals 111 in any frame he gives the pin boy a nickle, Ask anyone who knows bowling, the reason-- it's a good one. ss 0 The Recreation Club now enjoys the distinction of having either all or a portion of their eight alleys reserved every evening except Sat- urday from Seven to nine o'clock, . * The Men's Major City Laague has part of the alleys Monday night, The Times league operate Tuesday night, Harts Dairy swings into ac tion Wednesday night, the Ladies' Major City is on the alleys Thurs. day evening while the Oriental Tex- tiles wind up the week on Friday evening, .

Two more names have been add- ed to the list of those at the Ree reation who are conceded a chance to figure in the roll for the $10 monthly competition. These are John Brady and Chuck Mason, Brady getting a 741 the other night while Mason broke an even 700, * * This makes six on thé conceded list, the other four being Creamer, Bedingsfield, Kirkup and Burns.

Ontario Regiment begins its season's sport activities at the armouries tomorrow night when the softball schedule which has been arranged, will Besides softball, the Ontario Regiment has deck hockey, volley ball, badminton and basketball on its program for this year, Can anyone imagine Jack Dempsey thinking of returning to the ring again? That's what Dame Rumour has at present and we for one actually can imagine Jack returning to the game, The spotlight of the public interest, the glamour of public approval and the 101 other things which are associated with a big sport like championship heavyweight boxing, have a great deal to do with any athlete's desire to hang on to any game, sometimes perhaps after his time, Jack Dempsey has all kinds of money, yet he may still return to the ring. Like Ty Cobb, Tris Speaker and other veterans, it is now not the financial end of the game which appeals, but possibly a certain warmth which one feels when basking under the public eye, although some state that it is simply the love for the game that makes them want to keep on, Anyway we still think the public hasn't seen the last of John Harrison Oshawa's representative in the professional hockey ranks, Harry Lott, iagara Falls, where his team, Buffalo, operating a Fort Erie franchise, are practising until the Fort Erie rink has Harry steps out in his first ice practice tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock.

Today his stage bubble has burst, the contract he signed for $5000 a week for 20 weeks in a Broadway play has been cancelled, Tunney has passed from the rin icture and Dempsey, twice whippe y the marine, in listening to daily advice and pleas that he don the padded mittens just once more to save the heavyweight ranks from utter stagnation, The Old Man Mauler, despite his 33 years, is wavering, Tex Rickard won't talk, but Jack is believed to have set a $500,000 price tag on his services for one more battle. The mogul of Madison Square Garden is gun-shy now when requests for guarantees of that kind are showed in his face, Tex is still 8 bit punch drunk from the financial beating he took when he guaranteed Tunney $550,000 for blasting Tom Heeney before a crowd that paid little more than that to view the tidbit of the Summer season, "What the public wants" Jack muttered in disgust when his show closed a few days ago without com- pleting its "run" on the road, "is real fights, not acted fights, I'm no ac- tor." The case against Firpo, the shag- gy-haired bull who lost the greatest of modern ring battles to Dempsey in 1923, is more obvious, Firpo ac- tually is in training in South Amer- ica, whittling away flesh from a body grown huge and soggy since he re- tired to a life of physical leisure in 1925, He has contracted for two matches and is negotiating for a third. Rickard has made him an offer to fight here. Firpo insists on finding out what fighting ability he has left before accepting.

Queen's Seniors Back in Harness After Big Game Kingston, Oct. 30--Queen's seniors appeared at the Richardson Stadium this afternoon for their first practice since the Varsity game in Toronto on Saturday, and with a cold, north wind driving them, went at a fast clip, the fastest they have shown in practice this year, Every regular sub was on the field, the squad be- ing divided into two teams for serim- mage work. Carter, Warren - and Durham again featured the work of the regulars by their end runs, Dur- ham standing out in practice as well as he did in the victory over Varsity, "Bubs" Britton, captain of the team, who was kept out of Satur- day's game through injuries, was on the field today and said that he never felt better, The long lay-off the Tricolor captain has had appar. ently has done him a lot of goud, and he will be ready to face the wire on Saturday. If he does start in his old position, it is likely that Durham will start on the half line with Car. ter and Warren, and Munro will act as relief, The Tricolor practice every after- noon, shifting their scene of activity tomorrow to the lower campus, be- cause of junior and intermediate games at the stadium, HEART SKIPPING IS NORMAL, SAYS THIS PHYSICIAN Camden, N.J.,, Oct, 831.--There is nothing abnormal about irregu- lar heart beats, Dr. Milton J, Rais- beck, New York, said today in ad- dressing the convention of the Eastern Homeopathle Medical As- sociation, He gave a comprehensive analysis of the various ailments of the heart, and declared that the so- called normal heart is irregular. "Many people become alarmed unnecessarily by the skipping of their hearts," Dr, Raisbeck said "As a matter of fact each heart cell is able to originate heart action, and this varies. If a person sits downs or exercises strenuously there is a variation which is the natural result of different pres- sures exerted on the heart, Many people, in my clinical experience, live to a rip old age with marked irregularities of beats."
