presen YC EAE 1S HITHER HII nn ay IrSRERIIrLYY TEFETEEY LHE USHAWA DAILY. TIMES, FRIDAY, MAY 3, 1929 Leas Forced to Remain Idle _ Yesterday by Continual Rain Postponement: Gives Fans a Double Header Saturday ~ --Page to Pitch To-day, if iy Anyone Toronto, May 2,--Except for the pattering raindrops, Maple Leaf Stadinm was silent and desertea The second game of the eLafs' opening home series with Baltimore was washed out completely. The Toronto players were due to report at 10.30 for morning practice: but took one look st the weather and they went back to bed and got more sleep. It was a dismal day indeed for 'baseball, but Manager Steve O'Neill and his players were not sxtremely sorry, The Leafs have faced some bad weather since the spening games at Baltimore two weeks ago and day or two of idle- pess at this time will not do them any particular harm, That hur- ried trip home from Newark to open the season Wednesday left the players tired and a brief rest will make them all the more eag- er to even up on the Birds for what 'happened when the lid was pried off here. Prospects for a game today will depend upon the weather condi- tions this morning. A strong wind and a warm sun are urgently required to dry out the diamond, which was soaked under yester- day's downpour. Tarpauling were placed over most of the infield but only the most favorable weather conditions this morning will put e field in playing shape by game time this afternoon. If it is at all possible the game will be played. A double header will be played on Saturday to take care of the post- ponement caused yesterday. It wim be the Leafs first doubleheader of the season, Page May Work Teday It is likely that Phil Page, the southpaw secured from. Detroit, will draw the pitching assignment for the Leafs against the Birds to- day. In his first start at Balti- more Page showed Manager O'- Neill a fine assortment of twisters yesterday. 4 TIMES OFFICE A NEW ENTRY A new entry in the City and In- dustrial softball league, intermedi- ate series, is that from The Oshawa Daily Times. The 'printers' devils"? have been out on the field for the last week now and have the kinks out of the old whip, but have yet a great deal of real practice to get in before the season proper starts. With the exception of one or twv, the ball tossers from The Times work right down here on Simcoe south, and there are some ball players among the lot. of orange and black have been ors dered and will be ready for the manager to give to his team about the same time as the team is pick- ed. A little difficulty has been met with in securing another pitcher to hold the league sluggers, and if the other moundsman is forthcoming, the Newsies will be able to round out a formidable team. No practice will be held tonight but a practice is to be held next Monday night at Alexandra Park. Some of the play- ers signed are: "Ab" Johnson, "Sandy" Brown, Alf Parish, Jack Bond, Frank Boyce, Walt. Givens, "Nip" Tucker, Walt. Branch, Jack Fry, F. Kitchen, "Chuck" Maddi- son, "Hank" Rorabeck, F, Camp-~ bell, L. Magill, 'Mac" Hood, Elmer (Levi) Ward, B. Partridge. but he had to aim too many "crip- ples" in'there and the Orioles bat- ted him fairly hard. However, Page has the goods and Manager Steve is confident that he will be a winner with the Leafs. Page, like Martin, Doyle, Sat- terfield, Cantrell and Gibson, is a pitcher who can hit. The Leafs seem to have . more batting strength among the pitchers than in any other department. On the three occasions that Page went to bat at Baltimore he drove the ball hard on a line, but always right at some waiting Baltimore fielder, "Hoot" Gibson is also likely to face the Birds again befre the end of the present series, Gibson may get the call today, although the Birds showed a liking for right. hand pitching on opening day. oy "throat-easy" Fak, Yom Sie hte pupils inning as enter. parts of P 0 S S E S Orthophonic Jictrola Model 4-70....$165 for your Orthophonic Victrola ; SHAWA Enjoy your home..

Not only this, but 'these players wil be forced to play doublelieaders later on in the year when a rest would be far more acceptable. From Kingston comes the report that Bob, Elliott, star second baseman has left for Deloro where he will be seen with the Smelters, The Kingston entry in the C.O'B.L, had counted on Elliott to fill his usual place on the team' and. a softball team in the Limestone City had also counted on his services this season, Elliott left yesterday for Deloro to accept: a position: there and in doing so: will greatly strengthen the Deloro: nine, as he is hard hitting player of no mean ability, The complete card for the Toronto, Lions Club boxing show being held' in the Queen City on Monday night is announced and more than one of the boxers listed are familiar to Oshawa boxing fans and from .the list there seems to be a real night in store for those attending as there are fourteen: fights on the card all of which are well matched, Rain Delays Davis Cup Games Toronto, May 3.~--~The Davis cup lawn tennis trials were again de- layed in their progress by an all day rain yesterday, and ag a conse- quence the singles events will take place today.

Bricker's position is that he must either give up his posi- tion as auta mechanig or running and he has decided to drop the latter. Bricker, since his refurn from the Olympic games, has heen working steadily and the carhon monoxide gas has affected his wind.
