PAGE EIGHT THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, MONDAY; APRIL 15, 1929 y BASEBALL LEAGUES OPEN SEASONS TO-MORROW AND WEDNESDAY | Leajs Open International | Race in Baltimore Wednesday Two Colorful Figures Will ed--Feeling Runs High and Race Should Be Close OPENING GAMES Toronto at Baltimore, Montreal 'at Newark. Rochester at Reading, Bu at Jersey A New York, April 15--The 1929 In- ternational league campaign starts on Wednesday with prospects for a race just about as exciting as last year when Rochester won the pennant by a single percentage point. There has been a general upheaval among managers and other club of- ficials during the winter, but it seems likely that at least five clubs will be in the running through the major part of the coming campaign. Toole, Dunn Missing Death has taken two of the most prominent figures in the league-- President John Conway Toole and Jack Dunn, president-manager of the Baltimore club. The league presidency is still vacant, but Fritz Maisel, Dunn's assistant for years, will be in the driving scat at Baltimore. Steve O'Neill has succeeded Bill O'- Hara as manager at Toronto; Tris Speaker steps in at Newark; where Walter Johnson held forth in 1928; Bill McKechnie is at Rochester, while the 1928 manager, Billy Southworth, pilots the St. Louis Cardinals. Ed. Holley starts the season at the head of the Montreal Royals. He stepped in last season when George Stallings was stricken ill, McKechnie has high hopes of de. veloping another pennant winner at Rochester, although Southworth, Gel- bert and Herman Bell of the 1928 team all are gone. Collins, first-base- man and Sand, shortstop, are new cogs in the infield. The outfield and pitching staff also have been changed. Feeling Runs High Enthusiasm is high at Newark, where Speaker seems to have assem- bled a formidable club that many think will capture the championship. Although Toronto lost a mighty slug- ger when Dale Alexander graduated to the majors, O'Neill thinks his Leafs will be in the fight all the way. Bill Clymer is looking for a few more men to strengthen his Buffalo club, which was nosed out of the pennant by one percentage point in 1928 infield been Montreal's has strengthened with Doc Gautreau at second base and Henry at first. Har ry Hinchman lost a number of stars on his surprising Reading team of a year ago, but the Chicago Cubs have promised reinforcements, Baltimore has lost heavily, not only through Dunn's death, but through the graduation to the majors of Dick Porter and Guy Cantrell, now with Toronto. Maisel has picked up sev- eral men from the Eastern league and Al Bool from the Washington Senators is looking for some more. Jersey City which played in hard luck last season, has strengthened in all departments, and Frank Gilhool- ey sces a chance to get his charges up in the contender class. Williams Competes at Montreal To-night Montreal, April 15.--Athletic stars from various parts of Canada and the United States will partici- pate here tonight in the track and field meet which is being staged by the Montreal Amateur Athletic as- sociation, Percy Williams of Vancouver, world's champion sprinter, heads this group of stars, Jimmy Ball of Winnipeg, Johnny Fitzpatrick of Hamilton, Ont., Phil Edwards, of New York, Ethel Catherwood, of Toronto, the Canadian girls' Olym- pic team, also from Toronto; Gwen Nye of Hamilton, Myrtle Cook of Toronto and the Milirose A.C. Re- lay team from New York will be among others who will compete in |° the various events, Myrtle Cook, Ball, Williams and some others were out on the track Saturday and practised starts, sprints, rounding the curves, etc., to get used to the peculiarities of the new oval. . TOILERS ARE BEATEN BUT CAPTURE ROUND Lethbridge, Alta., April 15.-- Benefitting from the experience gained in their initial encounter, the Lethbridge "Y" Aces, showed a complete reversal of form here Sat- urday night, when they held the Winnipeg Tollers to a 29-27 score in the Alberta round of the West- ern Canada basketball series. The Toilers, taking the first game by a 16 point lead, won the round by a total of 18 points and are now en route to Vancouver where they will oppose the New Westminster Adan- acs for the title and the right to meet the eastern finalists for do- minion honors.

Phone 915 |Dempsey Considers Detroit Park Windsor, April 16.--~Jack Demp- sey may take over the Devonshire race track here to run it as a race ing, fight and general spoyts cen- tre. For some days it has been rumored that the former world's champion heAvywelght was consid- ering the pyrchase of Devonshire track, now held by Detroit and Windsor interests. But no definite information could be had until Dempsey arrived in Detroit on one of his numerous business trips to that city, when he readily admitted that he was interested. "Yes, I have been considering the purchase of Devonshire,' the former fighter and present sports promoter said. "I would conduct racing, stage fights and make it a general sports centre, All provid- ing, of course, that the deal is made." Dempsey, it is understood, is act ing only as the representative of Humbert Fugazy, New York fight promoter, and draws a salary from the promoter and his associates. Unless he were considering Devon- shire as a private venture, he would have to confer with his associates before making any final decision. When new interests took charge of Devonshire last summer, only one race meeting was held, instead of the customary two seven-day meets. Now William R. Woollatt, manager of the track for five years, holds a judgment against the track for $114,000. CANPRO WINNERS ; RECEIVE CHEQUES Windsor, April 15.--Fourteen Bulldogs, 12 players, Manager Herb Mitchell and Trainer Jack Banks, will split $5,841.51, the big end of the Canadian Professional Hockey league play-off series melon, Each man will receive a cheque from the league for $417.25. The players' pool, representing a share of the first four semi-final games and the first three games in the final, am- ounted to $12,980.80. The Detroit Olmpies, as runners-up, benefit to the extent of $3,245.29, which split 12 ways, will give each player, Manager Foyston and Trainer "Honey" Walker, $270. The teams defeated in the semi- finals, Kitchener and Toronto, each divide $1,947. With about 12 fig- uring ip each cut, the individual shares will be $140. Last year the Stratford Nationals received only $230 each as champions, while each x Ng Kitchener Millionaires got 150. The "Teddy" Oke cup, emblem- atic of the Canpro title, is expected in the border cities shortly. It has been held in Stratford by Roy Bro- thers who led the Nats. last sea- son. Arrangements have not yet been made for the formal presenta- tion, but the Bulldogs will receive it at a functiof to be planned for an early date. : FRENCHY BELANGER DEFENDS TITLE ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT Toronto, April 15. -- "Frenchy" Belanger, the Canadian flyweight champion, left last night for Mont- real, where he will meet Harry Hills of that city in a ten-round bout on Wednesday night at the Forum with the title at stake. He was accompanied by his manager, Davie Garrity, and Billy Ayrton, the promising bantam, who is also under Garrity's management. Hill has appeared twice in this city, and while he became a favorite with the fans because of his clown-like tac- tics, he lost both engagements and Belanger should have little troub- le in defending his crown. In addition to Belanger two oth- er Canadian champions will be ac- tion on the card, both in ten-round bouts. Joe Villenveuve of Quebec, bantam champion of the dominion, will clash with Arthur Roger of Montreal in a title bout, while Leo (Kid) Roy of Montreal, holder of the Canadian welterweight title, will meet Jackie Cohen.

PREMIER GOES TO AID OF INJURED DRIVER Ottawa, April 15.--"Mr. Mac- kenzie King was passing and con- veyed the man to the Water street hospital." This laconic police re- port of an automobile accident here yesterday morning tells {a a democratic manner of Canada's prime minister going to the rescue of an injured man. Premier Mackenzie King had just wheeled away in his car from Laurier house when he noticed an automobile a short distance in front skid as it turned a street corner and {its occupant was thrown out on to the roadway, Germain Caron, the occupant of the car which rammed a telegraph pole after skidding, was badly stunned and suffering minor cuts to the head when the premier reached his side. 2 The injured man was rushed to the hospital in the prime minis- ter's ear.

The first bout, on March 2, ended in a knockout of Genaro after 48 sec- onds of actual fighting, Paul Rousseou, president of the French boxing federation, has this to say: "I think Pladner has prov- ed beyond the shadow of a dount he is the world's best at the weight, The Americans had two champions, Izzy Schwartz, recognized in New York state, and Genaro, recognized by the National Boxing association, You know what Pladner did to able to stand at the final bell, and Genaro's knockout inside a minute is too recent to dwell upon. Johnny Hill, oficial European champion, was put away in six rounds. Who is there left for Pladner to beat?"

'Lawn Bowlers Organize Toronto, pril 15.~The Dominion Lawn Bowling association, at its an- nual meeting on Saturday, decided to revert back to the old plan of conducting the Dominion play-offs, the system tested last year not probing successful, and entries will now qualify for the big tourney by playing through club and district games, oe An invitation was received from New Zealand to send a team in 1930, and it was decided to organ- ize one immediately. Any bowlers wishing to make the trip were ask- ed to volunteer as soon as possible. It was decided to appoint an of- ficial bowl tester to test any bowl that might be protested in. asy Dominion competition and also to select a committee to revise the rules. .. J. B. Falybairn of Beamsville was re-elected president, the other officers being as follows: Vice- president, R, T. McLean, Toronto; executive, O. H. Gidley, London; J. Code, Toronto; J, G. ,Swalwell Montreal ,the presidents of the Bri- tish Columbia and Manitoba associ- atons; directors, C. O. Knowles. J. A, H, Burt, E. Parkinson, R. T. McLean, and A E, J. Blackman; auditor, T. Rennie, Secretary R. T. McLean gave a complete report on the year's work and suggested returning to the old system of running the champion- ship tourney. He also announced the entry of the York Lawn Bowl- ing association to the membership of the dominion body. .. Dates for the various association tournaments in Ontari were an- nounced as follows: W.0.B.., July 22 at London; O.B.A,, July 8 at Hamilton; D.B.T., August 19, To- ronto; York, August 3; E.O.B.A,, August 5.

It was decded to standardize as far as possible the uniforms and also bowls In future the bowl must not exceed 16 1-2 inches in circumference, be more thn 3 1-2 pounds in weight, or have more bias than the bowl that bears the regulation stamp. ARTIFICIAL ICE FOR KINGSTON CURLERS Kingston, Ont.,, April 15.--Arti- ficial ice is now assured for the Kingston Curling club for 1930, for the members now have the mneces- sary money for the installation of the plant in sight, and the greatest of enthusiasm is prevailing among the followers of the game. Alterations necessary and the in- stallations of the plant will cost ia the neighborhood of $18,000 but when completed the Kingston Curl- ing club will have one of the fin- est rinks in Ontario. Work will be started in the summer, New York Rivals Picked To Win League Schedules Opening Games in Champ- ionship Leagues Start To- morrow--Yankees Enter. tain Red Sox and Cardin- als Go to Cincinnati AMERICAN LEAGUE Boston at New York. Philadelphia at Washington, Chicago at St. Louis, Detroit at Cleveland, NATIONAL LEAGUE New York at Philadelphia, Brooklyn at Boston. Pittsburg at Chicago. St Louis at Cincinnati, New York, April 15 -- Sixteen major league baseball teams will tomorrow hit the trail that leads annually to pennants or disillu-~ sionment. On or before October 6, closing day of the 1929 cam- paign, 14 teams will be left free to offer alibis while the remaining two are battling it out in the world's series. So far as expert opinion goes, they could start playing the world's series, now with the New York Yankees, American league champi- ons for the last three years, meet- ing their Metropolitan rivals, the New York Giants, who have gain- ed the doubtful honor of being picked to capture the National league crown this year. But fortunately for the nomn-e- perts and the fans pennants are not decided just that way. Much can happen to a club in a 154- game schedule and the experts are wrong just as often as they're right--oftener, some of the more irreverent migh be temptel to sap. But the Yankees despite some pitching worries and an infiela ex- periment that is yet to be tested seem to rate a jump or two ahead of the American league field. The Giants' "paper" margin in the National league is so slight as to be almost non-existent, Chicago, St. Louis, and Pittsburg all appear strong enough to win the pennant if they can get the "breaks." American League Chief opposition to the Yanks' fourth consecutive championship probably will come from Connie Mack's Philadelphia Athletics, the St. Louis Browns, the Detroit Tig- ers and Washngton Senators. Cleveland, Chicago and Boston appear slated for the last three positions without debate. Mack has made virtually no change in his athletic line-up, which gave the Yankees many an anxious moment last summer; the Browns, under skilfu handling by Dan HoWley surprised the experts by finishing third and may do so again; the Tigers of Detroit, with great potentialities have Bucky Harris at the helm this year. Washington , with Walter Johnson as manager, has compiled a sensational record in spring training games and look like the "dark horse" of the coming cam- paign. But over and above all .0ess teams hangs the menace in | the bats of Ruth, Gehrig, Lazzeri and Meusel, of he Yankees. Miller Huggins thinks those bats will give him another title, \Expect. Record Major Season New York, April 16.--On the eve of the opéning of the 54th season of the National league; President John A. Heydler has no prediction to make of the strength of the 8 clubs, but confidently expects a record season for the league as a whole. "It would be hazardous for me to be speculative at this time on the comparative playing strength of the eight clubs in our league or classify the contenders," he said. "And it would be presumptuous to. undertake to weigh the strength of these clubs, for all of them have made changes and additions since last season which they confidently expect to be beneficial. Hard To Pick "] am especially loath to speak of the chances or improvements of any certain teams when I recall that in our last pennant race, six clubs were in the fight for three fourths of the season; four were in the struggle up to the last two weeks, and three up to the final few days. As composed at present, these clubs are so closely matched in playing strength that the luck or breaks of the game probabiy will determine which one will be our next champion. "This will be the 54th season of the National league, and with rea- sonably favorable weather condi- tions, it should be our greatest. "The formation of a college base- ball association, long inoperative, by the leading universities in the east, and the greater activity in amateur baseball generally are most significant.
