SP( OSHAWA, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 1922 G NE Sporting Paragraphs Splendid Racing At Oshawa Fair Rain Necessitated Calling Off Yesterday's Events--Several New Horses The racing events at Oshawa Fair this week brought together the fin- est horses in this part of the coun- try, and had not rain prevented the horses from getting away yesterday afterncon, local turf followers would have seen two races never before equalled on an Oshawa track. Tues- day's events were easily above the standard of previous years. There were six sfarters in each race, while for yesterday's card, ten horses were scheduled to start in the 2,30 pace and six in the 2.14 pace. A purse of $300 was offered for the 2.30 class and $400 for the 2,14 heats. New Horses Here Robert Stewart, of Newmarket, of- ficial starter, attempted to get the first heat under way at 1.30 but rain fell as the horses were facing the post and when the scheduled time for the races to start arrived, the track was covered with water. A large crowd occupied the grandstand and the numbers would have been greatly swelled with ideal weather. Several horses new to Oshawa were here for vesterday's meet, including Harry G., owned by C. Chapman, Toronto; Lady Barongale, owned hy F, Mont- gomery, Peterboro; Babe Direct, owned by W. J. Gillespie, Edmonton, Alta.; Willow West, owned by W. J. Lord, Hamilton; Rountree Boy, owned by Rountree Bros., 'Weston; Liberty Patch, owned by Cowan Bros, Picton; Bessie Brooke, owned by F. Montgomery, Peterboro, and Hazel H., owned by E. Jones, Peterboro. Jack Canuck, owned by R. J. Over- land, Orangeville, the horse which ran so well here last year, was back again, The officials appointed for the two days' racing were: Official starter, Robert Stewart, Newmarket; timekeej- ers, James Burke, E. Caughey, and Sheriff J. F. Paxton; judges, 0. B. Sheppard, Toronto; L. Parkes, Belle- ville, and W. McCulloch, Picton. Mp. Stewart gave perfect satisfaction in handling Tuesday's events. Three Heats in 2.25 Class Rheita Hal, owned by H. Elmhurst, of Keene, Ont, won the 2.25 class Tuesday afternoon, taking the first three heats. Darkey Todd, owned by M. Storey, of Peterboro, was in the lead in all three heats until a short distance from the wire when Rheita Hal made grand finishes, winning by a nose. The race rested between these two mares and in each heat it was a fine race with the pair coming down the stretch side by side. Lady Mildred won third money: Jean Bingen Lost In the 2.18 class the spectators were treatdd to a surprise. Jean Bingen won the first two heats quite handily and when the third heat got away, the crowd thought the race was over and that Dr. Hopkin's mare would take first money. However, Jim Todd, owned by J. Currams, Toronto, who had run third in the first two heats took the last three heats. Jean Bin- gen ran into hard luck being held to the inside of the track and being un- able to get away.

Belleville"s victory Saturday tied the Central League record of nine straight victories established hy the Petes in 1920, and broke the record for the season of eight victories which was set by the Petes in the first half, Locals Due For, F aster Company Oshawa Eleven Have Two More Games to Play--Fight for Second Place That the Oshawa Football team will climb from the second division of the T, and D, into the first sec- tion at the close of the present sea- son is practically assured, Next Sat- urday they meet North Toronto in the Queen City and should win quite handily, Their next and final match will be with Toronto United and this contest should also result in another easy victory for the locals. Cowans, who are in second place, are leading Oshawa by one point "but they have only one more game to play which is with the G, A, U.V,, who have clinched the championship of the division. Neither Oshawa nor Cowans can overtake the Vet- erans but the fight is for second place, If G, A, U. V. win from Cow- ans Saturday, Oshawa will jump in- to the second position and incident- ally win the right to enter faster company, The record of the Oshawa team has been one of which to be proud. Last year they entered the Toronto and District League in the Third Division. And while they did not win .the championship, they. were only one point behind Shamrocks for "the leadership. This year al- though playing with mueh better teams, they have. more than held their own and but for a few mis- fortunes might have heen leading their section. If Oshawa wins their two remaining games, both of which will be staged in Toronto, they will say farewell to the secowd division and will keep company with the best elevens in the T. & D. Mr. B, C, Moige has severed con- nection with Thomson Knitting Co. to the great loss of the Athletic Clubs of the Hosiery Town, as "Shin" is recognized as one of the best ball and hockey players in the Central Ontario League,--Bowman- ville Statesman, Oshawa High School boys commen- ced training for the rugby season Tuesday afternoon on their own grounds at the school, Judging from the number of students taking part in the initial workout there should he no dearth of players, The lads gave Peterhoro a merry chase for the dis trict last year and by getting an early start this season they should give the Petes a stouter argument than ever. When the Lindsay team arrived at Port Hope, almost an hour late Saturday afternoon, they expeeted to find a crowd of wrathful fans, of- ficlals and players. But such was not the case. The fans were a mere handful, but patient, the players were in a happy mood, especially when they heard that the Bivds had defeated their rivals, Cobourg--and the official umpire failed to show up. The efforts of the Pori Hope | players to secure Umpire Rosevear were unsuccessful, but he donned his official mask and pad at the re- quest of Lindsay. For this evidence of good sportmanship the Lindsay Club thank Mr. Rosevear sincerely Jack is one of the fairest and best Umpires in the League, and the handelap he received from Port Hope fans when he appeared on the diamond was a worthy one. He handled the entire game, and did it well, The showing of the Hillerest team, Ontario champions, in the play-off games for the T.A.B.A. title is causing other leagues to cast their eyes enviously towards them when considering the outlook for the O.1B. A.A. finals. The mighty Hillerests who smothered Cla and then Osle are again picked to win the Ontario title and it must be admit- ted that the odds are in their favor. Should Belleville go up against the T.A.B.A. winners, it is believed lo cally that the O.B.A A. title will be 4 more likely to come to the C.O.B.L. e arge é é ange- . 4 p BR io take charge of ail arrange The Petes have been put in the run: ments and itis expected that plans | ning for the Central League title hy will be completed in the course of | Hook : if Bollevilla is elim another two or three weeks.

In the event of Leaside taking both gan from Belleville, the play-off games would fy delayed another week. During the next two or three weeks, the High School boys will be out on the grounds training for the opening of the rugby season.
