PAGE FOUR OSHAWA, ONTARIO, SATURDAY, AUGUST 26, 1922 -------------------- Brown Secures Two Falls on Bryant Heavyweight Wrestling 'Bout at New Martin Theatre Last Night--Smaller Man More Scientific--Good Preliminaries J. G. Brown, of New York City, cer- tainly lived up to his reputation as "The Greek Demon" last night when he met J. C. Bryant, "The Mysterious Turk," of Montreal, on the stage of the Mew Martin Theatre, in a wrest- ling bout for the best two out of three falls to a finish. Brown displayed a cleverness and strength which Bry- ant found impossible to overcome, Brown secured the first fall in 'forty minutes, although he did not bring Bryant to the mat, The latter gave up after his clever opponent used the toe hold with telling effect on numer- ous occasions. Brown gained the sec- ond fall in twenty-nine minutes, bringing Bryant alpost to the mat yith a half-nelson which the 'big "Turk' could not avoid, Challenges Walker Following the bout, "General" Mc- Donald, Brown's manager, announ- ced that he was leaving for Fort Wil- liam Monday and later to Ottawa to arrange a match between his man and George Walker, the Canadian heavy-weight champion. McDonald stated that they were willing to feet Walker at any time in any place for a side bet from $1,000 to $10,000, -[BYD PpANSS] 9ARY 0) SWR[D uMoJg lenges to Walker before but could not arrange a match and declares that if Walker is as good a man as he thinks he is, he will step out for a bout in the near future, Although Bryant weighs possibly twenty pounds more than Brown and the latter is nearly seven inches short- er' than his opponent, the "Turk," was no match fo rhis smaller antagonist, Brown displayed a coolness which is seldom seen and the way he worried Bryant throughout, brought out the fine points of his skill. Both wrest- lers used the toe hold continually hut Brown was much more effective, Dur- ing the first forty minutes it was quite apparent that Brown would win and that it was only a question of time. Dozens of times Brown had his antagosist almost to the mat but the latter would extracate himself by sheer strength, Bryant Outskilled The two wrestlers were out to win but Bryant was clearly outskilled. This was his first defeat and he ad- mitted a better man defeated him. Bryant has been wrestling in prp- fessional ranks for only three years and a few bouts with some of the top-notchers will put him right in line with the best o fthem. A mere hand- ful of fans witnessed the bout but those present saw a real struggle. Two preliminaries were staged, both exhibition wrestling bouts, Ben- ny Sheridan and Jack Burns meeting in the curtain raiser and Morrison taking on Tom Bouckley in| the second bout. It bad been pre- viously planned to have two or three boxing bouts comprised of local tal- ent, but the Ontario Boxing Commis- sion would not sanction it. Scraps Marred LeasideGame Tyson, of Cobourg, Gets 'in Dutch" --Various Fans Wanted to Run Game The Central League fixture at Lea- side with Cobourg on Wednesday was one that would do credit to one of the mob scenes on the streets of Dublin, while one player of the visit- ing team was guilty of an offence which will undoubtedly be reported to the Central League executive and which should be severely censured. There were other lively incidents as well. » In the second innings Hoose, the Leaside catcher, slid into the plate and on a close decision Umpire Rosec- vear called him safe. Catcher Tyson of Cobourg, it is alleged. took off his cage and mitt and threw them at the umpire. Tyson was them benched for the remainder of the game. Later in the game a Leaside spectator erawled into the Cobourg dugout for some reason and Jack Rosevear call- ed a halt until the man went back into the grandstand. Peace and quietness then prevailed until the conclusion of the game when a Cobourg spectator ram out onto the field and grabbed Um- pire Rosevear. A Leaside spectator undertook to settle the argument by going after the Cobourg fan in none | too gentle a manner and it was with | some difficulty the situation was, straightened away. The incident was a most regrettable one and should not be tolerated. . | The Lindsay Post is bragging be- cause their silent policemen are whitewashed twelve to fifteen times each year. Of course they neglect to tell us how maany times their ball team have been whitewashed: Port Hope Guide. Circuit Papers Are "Riding" Good Umpire Fellow-Umps. Say He is Good-- Peterboro and Cobourg Don't Like McDonald -- "Lefty" MacDonald, who is con- sidered by local fans and those of several other towns, to be one of the best umpires in the Central League, is being severely criticized by the Cobourg and Peterboro newspapers. it has been stated by other umpires that MeDonald's work is absolutely impartial and that he is as accurate | as can be. Some clubs are only too | willing to lay the blame on an um-| pire, particularly in a close game. This year there is more fault finding than ever in every league, including the majors, about the work of ump-| ires and unless those teams are will- ing to take a little instead of wanting everything in their favor, many good umpires will be driven out of base- ball. A Cobourg paper has the following to say about McDonald: "McDonald, the Toronto umpire in the Central League, is making a very poor showing, and without a doubt it will be his last year in this league. He should never have been appointed in the first place. At Belleville yes- terday, for the second time in suc- cession, he was half an hour late in arriving, and Umpire Barnes, of Cobourg, handled the game alone until he arrived. McDonald's decis- ion on balls and strikes were weird, and twice Pitcher Heckman, of Pet- erboro, walked off the diamond. Heckman is not easily riled, and Mc- Donald's decisions must have been pretty rank when Heckman will ob- ject that strenuously."

Interest in soccer is steadily increasing lo- cally, due undoubtedly to the fact that Oshawa soccer fans are being given the opportunity of seeing some of the finest football played in Can- ada, A generous offer has been made to the Oshawa Club by a prominent Oshawa man who has given the club the choice of three fields for a pitch. He will also make the necessary im- provements. A second offer has beén made by different parties to erect a dressing room for players and bleach- ers for accommodation of spectators. It is understood that a joint meeting will be held soon to discuss plans. | The team is worthy of the support will be pleased to know that they are being encouraged, Sandy's Heads "Boose At Golf Honse" js the head- ing the. Port Hope Guide carries on the following article: "We motored over to Cobourg this morning to offer our sympathy to the ball team and transact a little business. In passing the town hall we noticed Chief Ruse surrounded by a number of young men attired in white trousers and knicker- bockers. Upon enquiry we learned why the game of golf is so popular, and this is a question that has both- ered us for a long time. Golfers al- ways tell you that it is one of the best forms of exercise and probably it is. But, from what we learned this morning, the wonderful exercise is not much good without a stimulant and | some of the Cobourg players have been | paying more attention to the stimul- | ant than they have to the game. Last week License Inspector Goodrich visit- | ed the Club House and found a quan- | tity of liquor and also many empty bottles. The occupant of the house pleaded guilty to having liquor in a place other than his own residence and was fined $250 and costs."

Our corner friend suggests that Scottie should look the Oshawa Ball Club over be- cause from all accounts they are a sight for sore eyes.--Port Hope | Guide. to a ---- At a meeting held last Saturday of a number of Cobourg summer | residents it was decided to organize | a polo club in the summer term. Ten | of the members put iy $200 each as a club fund. Mr. F. G. Kay was elec- ted president and Mr. C. E. Speer, Jr., as manager, Mr. Kay's field just east of the Horse Show Park, is ground, and will be used as an ad- dition to the show grounds. a . . is Branching Out Citizens of Oshawa will be interest- ed to learn that one enterprising firm, is branching out and indications are that rapid. development is in store for it. The Purdy Company, Limit- ed, electrical contractors, Simcoe Street South, have commenced to manufacture electrical signs and a few orders have been filled locally but they are now going after Business from other centres and, if successful, which it undoubtedly will be, The Purdy Company will be an important addition to Oshawa's already exten- sive industries. The construction of electrical ovens for baking will also be an important output of the com- pany and it is hoped they will soon be turning out their products on a large scale. Donaid's work behind the bat, makes the following comment: - "The Ex- aminer has ever advocated that play- ers on the baseball field or in any other game should accept the decis- ions of the umpire or referee with- out an exhibition of 'crabbing' no matter how 'raw' these decisions might be, and all credit is due to the local ball team for the exhibition of day, for the decisions 'Lefty' MacDonald were glaringly atrocious. "After his exhibition behind the bat yesterday, Manager Solomon would be justified in refusing to play if Mr. MacDonald is again scheduled to ampire a game in which the Petes participate. MacDonald time and again called them balls when they certainly appeared to be goed, and on one sipn the opposi batter had even started back to his dugout, was given another opportunity." of everyone and followers of the game | afternoon, | the choice he made | should and. | scores show to be made into an up-to-date polo | baseball played in Belleville yester- of Umpire thinking he had been struck out, but the umpire called it a ball and he {by, won the J, L.
