PACE EIGH1 - 1HE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1928 Already For Tournament Here at Armouries on November 9 Matches of ceptionally High Quality Have Been Made for Opening Tour nament of Season Locally --Nearly All Reserved Tickets Sold as Interest Runs to High Level With the advanced sale of res served seat tickets far ahead of schedule and with eight bouts out of the ten already matched and ready for the big night, Ontario Regiment's opening boxing tourna- ment here on Friday, November 9, promises to be one of the best and most popular events of the season. For the first event of its kind so far this season an unexcelled amount of interest is being evidenc- ed in these coming fights while if the calibre of the bouts is even on a par with the interest, one of the best tournaments thus far in the history of the Ontario Regiment's boxing activities can be expectea. The tournaments this year are going to be staged as monthly af- fairs, according to those in charge at the Ontario Regiment, giving every indication that Oshawa be- fore many more years or even months, will develop into one of the leading boxing centres in this prov- ince, thanks to the guiding hand of the Ontario Regiment, Nothing succeeds like success and it is the success of the Ontario Regiment's bouts of the past which are caus- ing the remarkable sale of tickets shis week, even before the fans have had a chance to see the offi- cial card. Once the fans have look- ed over the card which is outlined below there should be an even greater sale of the little blue paste- boards since anyone who knows the fighting game locally will agree that there is much in store at the armouries next Friday night, It is the success of every single one of the Ontario Regiment's tournaments which is making the game so popular in Oshawa and which is responsible for putting amateur boxing in this city so well the map. "rhe matchmaker, F. A, Hard- man, is awaiting telegrams at pres- ent from outside points to com- plete the personnel of two bouts which will be on the card before the night of the tournament, but already he announces the follow- ing bouts will be on Friday even- ng's card, 1) --Adams (Ont. Regt.), Hudson (St. Agnes) 160 lbs, : (2)--Minnox (Ont, Regt), Vs. Fudger, (Ont, Regt), 128 lbs, (3)--RBellingham (Ont.

The above card it is pointed out, does not represent the order in which the boys will appear. in the ring, but is merely that which has tentatively been drawn up. The judges and referee have also been selected and the fans at least can go to the tournament convine- ed that the scrappers will be given a satisfactory decision from the 3 men judging the ability of the two boys in the ring. As judges, Reg Nash and Joe Delanty have been chosen, while the old reliable, Ed Donald, will be the third man in he ring. YOUTH INJURED WHEN WEAPON EXPLODES IN HANDS St. Thomas, Nov, 6--Accidentally shot in the face, Sunday afternoon, when an old shotgun that he and a chum were playing with exploded, Fred Kirk Jr, 19-year-old son of Fred Kirk, Port Stanley, is in a cri- tical condition in the Memorial Hos- pital. Hospital attendants reported this evening that the youth's condi- tion was unchanged since his admit- tance. The full charge from the gun struck young Kirk in the face at quite close range, Tom Robertson, another Port Stanley youth, was with him at the time, y Regent.

The former coach, of M.A.A.A., W. Nicholson who is now at Notre Dame, is believed responsible for Wilson's being at that school.

PUNTS and TACKLES By the Dopester Pld ib bbb beth Edd Coach's orders--Full dress prac- tice tonight and full dress prac- tice at 3.30 p.m. tomorrow after- noon, Every player report whether they are in shape to play or not, The coach wants to have contact every day this week with his men to make sure everyone is in good trim for Saturday. Take this seri- ously, and let's go after this Gas House Gang in earnest, 0 There was only one fumble on the whole Blue Devils' team on Saturday, and that was early in the game. That speaks well for the boys and we hope it continues. * x % NAL LASS LAAN Big Al Moore got a nasty cut in his forehead on Saturday, but be- fore the plaster was dry he want- ed to get back on the field again. It certainly was a nice example of the proverbial intestinal fortitude that we read so much about. . » Last night all but four of the team reported for practice and went through another basketball game, It is a wonderful condition- er, and everyone felt fine after it, It makes you keep your eye on the ball and I think we can attribute the excellent ball carrying ability of the team to this fact, There are always disadvantages to practicing under lights, but there are also many advantages, * * After the game the hoys were of- fering 2 to 1 bets on the Blue De- vils for next Saturday's game, but could get no takers. That's pretty significant as to how London feels. y This fellow Bonk, on the back- field, was Bunk, so far as Oshawa was concerned, He fumbled twelve punts during the time he was on and recovered every ome. Is that luck or good management. Vic Foley Again Loses to Kid Roy in 12 Round Tilt Vancouver, B.C.,, Nov, 6.--Leo (Kid) Roy, of Montreal, success- fully defended his Canadian, feath- erweight title in a savagely fought 12-round battle with Vic Foley, of Vancouver here tonight, The cham- pion came from behind in the last five rounds after Foley had piled up a substantial lead and battered the local hoy to helplessness with solid smashes to the face and body, Start Cautiously Opening the boot, both fighters started cautiously, but soon they were exchanging rights and lefts in rapid succession, Then Roy, swinging hard, knocked Foley down, but he was up without a count, In the second round, Foley scored with a right and left to the body, and after an exchange of rights, rocked the champion with a hard left to the jaw. The fighting was at close quariers, and the Van- couver boy, in the third, was get- ting in some sharp left jabs, At the bell, Roy grazed Foley's face with a savage swing, The fourth and fifth rounds were a repetition of the first three, and Foley appeared to have the best of the exchange, though "the Kid" was landing some hard lefts. In the sixth round, Roy showed better form, but missed several hard swings. In the seventh the Montrealer forced the fighting, and landed several well timed punches. In the eighth and ninth rounds, Roy continued to set a fast pace, and was rushing in on Foley at ter- rific speed. In the tenth, Foley's right eye was closing, with the French boy landing sharp lefts to the head and face. Roy apologized for a low one as the bell rang. Starting the eleventh, Roy rush- ed in and landed a left to the iace, and then quickly registered a left and right to the face. They fought savagely, Foley shot a hard one to Roy's body. Roy landed two lefts to the face. Just after the last round ot un- der way Roy floored Foley with a hard left for a count of three, He was punishing the Vancouverite with solid lefts to the face and jaw. Foley was weakening fast, with Roy putting in a fast barrage of lefts at the bell. Strikes, Spares, and Blows At Local Alleys The boys have been falling over' each other these last few nights up at the Moto City for a chaucd at the ten free tickets which are be- ing handed out for the boxing tour- nament here Friday night, The pins have been scattered right and left by the free paseboard seekers and scores up over the 300 mark have been common since last Wednesday, ---- When a score of over 300 is turn- ed in, there has been some real bowling in the ten frames of the game in question. To average 30 a frame or better requires some steady nerve, A little estimate was made the other day of what the average bow- ler bowls as an average, if you get our meaning. That is, we were trying to figure out just about what the average score is for bowling, Of course, men's and women's howling are to be considered entirely separate. After looking the score sheets over carefully we arrived at the conclusion that between 165 and 185 was average for men and be- tween 110 and 140 was average for women, Averaging these out, one would arrive at the conclusion that 175 is the average game for men and 125 is the average for the fairer sex, There will of course, be many who disagree with these figures. For instance there are the boys who are continually bowling for special prizes or for prizes such as free ringside tickets, who consider that anything under 200 is a poor game while others who only howl the oc- casional game, figure they are real class if they touch 170 or better, As for the girls, their average is even harder to figure out with scor- es from this section continually running all the way from something around 65 to well up around 200. Some girls like Doris Kennedy and Mable Elliott have heen known to go as high as 250 without wink- ing an eyebrow, Anyway girls, the next time you bowl 125 you can at least know that you are considered "average" in this column. After writing the above, the scor- es in last week's Major City Ladies' league at the Recreation came to our notice and out of curiosity, we totalled them up and average them. The average of the individual gam- es which 'were played by twenty bowlers bowling two games apiece was 115 exactly, Scores of 73, 82, 78, 47 and 68 pulled this average down considerably however. Had it not been for these five games, the average would have been 122 which is nearly our "average." On the other hand we have also gone to the bother of figuring out the scores in the Men's Major City League at the Recreation last night and after computing a total of 21, 106 pins which were clipped in a total of 120 games, we found the average per bowler per ganre was 176 or to be exact, 175.8833, which is also pretty close adhering to the 'average'. Speaking of the Men's Major City League at the Recreation, there was some pretty fair howling turned in last night and there was also some close competition. An unusual happening occurred during one of the games when Lwo teams, the Dumbells and the Trim- mers, were tied with a total of 802 pins apiece at the end of the tenth frame. An extra frame had to he bowled, the Dumbells winning out in the final roll. Another coincidence happened last night when another team, the Whiz Bangs, bowled an even total of 1000 in one of their games while to add to the unusual element, their opponets, the Rinky Dinks, in the same game bowled a total of 777, Coca Colas in the same League last night rolled a game which any five man team in Oshawa can shoot at for a while. They turned in a total of 1,158 for one game, aver- aging 232 pins per man. Ag the result of taking three straight games from Rinkey Dinks last night, Whiz Bangs are now at the top of the Men's Major City Les gue, Their teem is comprised of Machie, Brady Arkwright, Dobson and Haley. A special feature which is al- ready attracting much interest is a competition the form of a mixed double tournament at the Motor City for which $30 in prizes will be awarded. The tiry sum of $20 goes to the winning pair while the rucpers-up will receive $190.# The reason the competition will not start until after Thanksgiving is that there will be special com- petition of some nature on Thanks- glving day itself, Both the Motor City and the Recreation are plarn- ing special prize events. The competition does rot start until probably after Thenksgiving but entries are already being re- ceived. It costs 25 cents p:r person Found----A New Star --8y Simm Thompson CONE WESTERN UMVERSITY BACKFIELDER WHO ROSE TO STARDOM = QVER~ MEAT WITH ARGONGLTS LAY ons Ade dy, ww During the past couple of weeks there has come into thé sporting firmament a star that is causing considerable comment, Everyone in the east is asking if the old Argo machine has discovered another Lionel Conacher, Well, even if it is too early to say whether they have or not, it is evident that they have &a mighty promising man, He is Frank Tur- ville of Western Universi.y, form- erly of Port Arthur, In the early season workouts he displayed great form and the Argo coaches praised him highly. But when he appeared on the field in an exhibition game against University of Toronto he looked like a "dud." In the opening game of the Big Four against the Hamilton Tigers he lasted for three periods. A week later in Montreal he showed the first signs of brilliancy when he tore down the field for large gains against the Winged Wheei- ers. Finally he seemed to find his feet and in the game against the Ottawa Rough Riders he broke loose and displayed a brand of rughy that had not been seen be- fore this year, Of the 20 points the Argos scored, Turville captured 18 of them himslef--two touchdowns and the remainder by kicking. During the game his broken field running was faultless, his ball carrying and catching was perfect and his judgment caused favorable comment from both fans and crit- ics. \ If Turville keeps up the class of rughy he played against the Sen- ators he will prove to be undoubt- edly the season's smost sensational find in Eastern rugby. to enter and all couples must be en- tered before they may bowl in the competition, The affair will last for a month and the couple turn- ing in the highest aggregate for three consecutive games will win the $20 with the runners-up taking the $10, The high monthly prize-winners at the Motor City are announced this week, Bill Hood carrying off the high single in ten pins with a total of 222 while Matt Sutton with 415 received no opposition in the men's five pin division. Violet Norris (Copeland) is out in front for the ladies' high single at the Motor City both for this week and for the month as the re- sult of 243 which she 'rolled last night. The list of elegibles for the final ten who will roll off for the special $10 prize offered at the Recreation has now grown from seven to ten, thanks to some heafty bowling at Ollie Code's pavilion recently. The ten high men now are Creamer (869), Bedingsfield (832), Kirkup (828), Brady (747), Burns (721), Haley (721), Turner (716), Mason (700), Kunkle (755) and Brown (697). Yesterday's latest list of the ten high for the the free tickets at the Motor City are M. Sutton 867, W. McNeill 854, B. Bedingsfield 828, M. Morris 809, G, Creamer 786, J. Ogden 791, S. Howe 724, J. Brady 719, B. Brown 714 and D. Duxbury 724, The challenge game between the Times and the Alger Press has been arran for Wednesday night of thigiweek, the first of the series bhe- ing t-the Motor City.

Watson says he is the mew owner of the club. A board of directors will be ap- pointed, consisting mostly of Ham- ilton men and already Sammy Man- son and Audley Morden, well- known local sportsmen, and Fred Hamilton, for years the guiding genius of the Osler Baseball Club, have been appointed, Hamilton's presence on the board is signifi- cant for the mew owner fully in- tends to go after a franchise in the mooted Michigan Ontario Base- ball League and he is figuring far in advance in having a man of Hamilton's experience and abilit sit in with him. . The leader has signed Bernie Morris veteran Pacific Coast Hock- ey star, as manager-coach of the Hamilton Club. Morris comes here rated a veteran rich in hock- ey lore and wise in the ways ot handling players, himself having received a valuable education from the Patgleks of the Coast. Two Players Signed Players will be lined up this week, Watson being now busily en- gaged in scouring back and forth. At the present time Freddy Faught, who held sway as a reserve goaler with Toronto Falcons for a time after being released by the pre- vious Hamilton owners and Eddie Baker, former Varsity player who was in the Senior City League here last Winter with the Wentworth Radios, have been signed. Assis- tance is expected from other clubs. Audley Morden will probably be named president of the club and each member of the directorate will have a voice in club affairs, it be- ing planned to hold frequent con- ferences to discuss ways and means to benefit the club. Dissatisfaction Still Reigns in W.0.S.A. Result North Bay, Nov, 6.--The Rinky Dinks take strong objection to the statement appearing in a Toronto paper Monday stating that the Nationals of Toronto are still re- cognized as Inter-lady soft ball champions of Ontario, They main- tain that until the championship playdowns are decided there are no champions at present, unless the Rinkey Dinks and Nationals are recognized as joint holders of the title, due to the 8-8 tie in the sud- den-death game at Orillia last Sat- urday. True enough, the Nation- als were champions in 1926-27, but they are certainly not champions for 1928, not if the Rinkey Dinks have anything further to do with it. In fact, so eager and so confi- dent are the Rinkey's they have wired the secretary of the Wom- en's Ontario Softball Association to the effect that they (the Rinkey Dinks) are ready to settle the ar- gument of supremacy for this year's title by again journeying to Orillia this Saturday and playing the Nationals another sudden-death game, ' CARD PREPARED FOR ONTARIO REGIMENTS BOXING SHOW FRIDAY Eight Bouts of Ten Arranged SPORT SNAPSHOTS Still thinking about the London-Oshawa game up in London Satur the fact has just sunk in that on every single occasion, London made t gains straight through Oshawa's line while ©shawa made their advances around the outside of the Gas House line, Which, once the fact is inspected and the why's and wherefore's figured out, can indicate much. For instance, it confirms the opinion that was held before the game that London had a superior line but Oshawa possessed better open field runners. It also might indicate that even if London was superior in the line offensively, Oshawa's line, especially its ends, were good defensively. As a matter of fact, about every time but twice when London pulled or attempted to pull an end run, they lost yards. ---- On the other hand, about the only times Oshawa made yards was on end runs although several bucks went for seven, eight and nine yard gains, If the board of strategy on the two teams take these facts intc any consideration, the fans might expect here mext Saturday an end-running and kicking game on Oshawa's part and a bucking game by London, We included kicking with the end-running which Oshawa is likely to be doing because this is another division in which Oshawa gained last Saturday. As many as twenty yards were gained by Oshawa on every exchange of kicks, thanks in the first place to the Oshawa half line's ability to run back the London kicks for from ten to fifteen yard gains and in the second place to the Oshawa players who went down under the kicks and who were sure poison for Londog on their tackles. Oshawa money, to the extent of 2 to 1 odds, was offered in London on Saturday that Oshawa would win the game here next Saturday but not a single Londoner would take a chance on the bet. Which just goes to show how much even the London crowd respects Oshawa's chances here next Saturday, The London Free Precess in its article on the Lon, reess i game Saturday which appeared in its yesterday's edition, has the following to say: To the London line goes the credit for the victory, although there were many spectacular plays made by the back division.' In the open- ing of the third quarter, with only four points separating the two teams, Hubbell kicked to Bonk on London's three-yard line. Cliff kicked in touch at London's four-yard line. The Blue Devils tried three plunges, but failed to gain a yard on the three attempts. This was the turnin paint of the game and the play gave the "Gas House Gang" additional con nce. Believe it or not, the Gas House Gang actually took their hats off and cheered when they found that they had stopped Oshawa in their attempt for a touchdown, An example of the confidence it gave London was that although they were playing about three yards out from their line when they gained pos- session, instead of kicking they bucked and gained yards on two successive plays to clear them from the danger zone, One reason why Oshawa was unable to send the ball over the line at that critical moment up in London was that Al Moore, perhaps the most reliable ground gainer on the team, was off the field at the time, suffering from a cut eye, while Russ Wigginton was also off, serving a penalty, If the chance ever comes to Oshawa again to score from four yards out, we wager they won't fail. Their ears are probably still smarting through their inability to come through on that occasion last Saturday and it will be Syset compensation for them to make amends if they ever get another chance, To focus our attention on the Ontario Regiment's boxing tournament here this coming Friday, it has come to our notice that some people are demuring the prices which are being charged although personify we com think of nothing more out of place. If you go to Toronto to see a fight and spend by the way, $1.50 to get there, even for an amateur show it sets you back from $2 to $3 for the same batch of seats which are on sale atthe armouries for $1. And the fights here are just as good as anything amateur that is put on in Toronto, But apart from that fans must also take into consideration what this affair is costing the Regiment. That costs a pretty penny. Then there is the boxing ring to take into consideration, which has to be built up and put into position to say nothing of 101 other details which have to be attended to and which all go to make the evening a success. Just for instance, there is the rental and cartage of 500 reserved chairs down to Oshawa from Toronto and then back again with a guarantee for everyone which is broken. _--
