PAGE EIGHT THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, MONDAY, MAY 6, 1929 wa City Club Loses rst Game of Soccer Season Two Regulars Missing and an Injury Weakens Local ed by 5-2 Score The City team journey to Toron- to to fulfil their away fixture with the 48th, but returned empty handed, the two points being an- nexed by the home team by virtue of a b to 2 victory. Owing to the early kick off, 2.15, the City team had to journey to Conboy Park without two of their last week's winning team, The game started 15 minutes after scheduled time, the teams lining up as follows: 48th Highlanders--Goal, Mc- Leod; backs, Swan and Fort; half- backs, Davidson, McCulloch and Clelland; forwards, Bettie, Murpny, Boyd, Hunter and Slater. Oshawa City--Goal, King; backs, Connor and Boyd; halfbacks, Park- inson, Brodie and Smith; forwards, Dunstall, Sturch, Bailey, Lobban and Rogers. Referee--R. Hawley. The City won the toss and from the kickoff the 48th went down the field but the City defence held out. The homesters forced a corn- er which was cleared and the City team then went up the other end and after a combined movement started from the right wing, after 10 minutes play, Boy put the ball past the home custodian, After this success the City team continu- ed their good work but poor finish- ing by the forwards robbed them of certain goals. The homesters then had their turn of attacking, but King in goal, saved a couple of smart shots. Oshawa again forced the pace and had a corner, which was cleared and the 'Highlanders went down the field, Boyd putting in a smart shot which King saved but could not hold, and Bettie run- ning in tapped the ball into the met. The City team played up strongly and should have scored but again weak finishing spoilt several promising movements. The 48th then forced a corner which was cleared and three minutes lat- er forced another. This was also cleared and the ball taken up the field and the City team swarmed round the home goal but could not put the finishing touch to the good midfield play. Eventually the 48th broke away and the ball going to Bettie he beat King with a shot that the goalie had no chance with, The whistle went for half time with the score in the favor of the home team, 2 to 1. The City kick- ed off and from the start attacked strongly and had levelled the score within one minute--Sturch scoring this time. At this juncture Park- inson was injured and off the field. With only 10 men the City held on well but the 48th added another, per Hunter. The City then put in a hot attack and Sturch was in. jured. With only nine sound men the City team still kept pegging away and only failed by inches on several occasions, The 48th again atacked and the ball was handled by their centre. The City team afopped playing appealing for hands and Boyd went on hig lone journey to beat King for the fourth goal. This was a tough break for tue City, but they still continued press- ing, Lobban, Connors and Dunstall * putting in some fine work. The game became a trifle rough and a couple of free kicks against the Highlanders nearly produced goals. The 48th, however, began to press heavily and eventually Boyd scored their fifth goal. Although in ar- rear, the City played up well, but were stopped by some questionable tactics. From one free kick taken by Lobban, the home goalie saved in a miraculous fashion. The last five minutes was taken up in the A receipt Irom the Police Court Clerk is not nearly as attrac- tive as one from a Brake Service Station | the first set. 'well 'as in the third. 'IN TERNATIONAL | ORIOLES TAKE BISONS Buffalo, May 6.--The high-fly- ing Baltimore Orioles looked their part here yesterday afternoom, when they bowled the Buffalo Bi- sons over in the first game of the series by a score of 6 to 1. Jack Hollingsworth, former Buffalo heaver, was invincible until the eighth, when the Bisons grouped three singles to escape a shutout. RED WINGS WIN FIRST HOME GAMP Rochester, May 6.--Rochester took its first home game with the Jersey City club here yesterday af- ternoon 8 to 3, in a contest fea tured by a home run off the bat of Rip Collins, Red Wing first base- man. It was the first circuit clout in the new park and was banged over the right field barrier. It was "Rip's" first homer in Rochester, although he hit four m Montreal last season in the final series and four on the first road trip of the Red Wings this year, LEAFS SHARE TWIN BILL Toronto, May 6.--Three guesses were taken by Steve O'Neill, director of the Leafs' destinies for 1929, be- fore he spotted a pitcher capable of making the Orioles behave in the first gamé of Saturday's doubleheader, the first of the season. Then itwas too late, the Maisel flock, by the time Joe Samuels, the pitcher-boxer from Scranton, appeared on the hilltop, ha- ving clicked off a four-run lead. They finally won out, 5 to 3, though the Leafs gave them quite a scare'in the seventh and eighth, and Andy Cham- bers had to be called into the affair in the seventh by Fritz. Maisel to squelch a rally that threatened to break out all over the place. Two-gun Hoot Gibson pitched the Leafs to a 4 to 1 victory in the sec- ond share of the bargain bill and it was the former Detroiter's first win since donning Toronto toggery. Six thousand brave fans saw the old-time rivals split the points, as they say in soccer surroun nay, It was pretty cold, but a lot warm- er in the spacious stands than out on the ball field--ask Phil Page and Rollie Naylor. The even break gave the Orioles the series, two to one, and it was the first series the Leafs have lost since the season opened. " Big Bill Tilden" Defeated in Trials --Philadelphia, May 6. -- Three of the younger tennis players of the United States appear to have won places on the American Davis cup team which will engage Canada this month, as a result of trials ending here yesterday. In yesterday's work-out matches Hennessey, Indianapolis, defeated William T, Tilden, 6--1, 6+--4, ana John Van Ryn, former Princeton star, beat Frances T. Hunter, of New York 4--6, 6--4, 6--1 In doubles, William Allison, Texas, and Van Ryn defeated Tilden ana Hunter 1--6, 6--3 and 6--2. Because of rain the matches were played on the indoor course of the Widener estate instead of at the Huntingdon Valley Country club, where Saturday's games were played. In achieving the downfall of Til- den, No 1 in the national ranking, Hennesey cut loose with an as- sortment of baseball that delight- ed a critical gallery. Hennessey, ranked No. 4, set a pace that was too fast for Big Bill. Tilden, it was said, was not in the best of form, but there was no intention, the experts sald, to take any of the credit from Hennessey for his victory. Hunter's defeat came as some- what of a surprise after the man- ner in which. the New Yorker started off. His forehand stroke was working In great style and proved the downfall of Van Ryn in In the second set the former Tiger captain solved the delivery of his opponent and he reversed the score in his st as Tennis dope was upset again in th doubles, Tilden and Hunter took the first set handily after forcing their opponents into fre- quent errors but the fast pace be- gan to tell and they fell before the more youthful pair in the two re- maining sets.

The outfield also put in a good afternoon of catche ing the long ones. sone THE BASEBALL OUTLOOK IN THE MARITIMES Halifax, N.S, May 6.--Following one of the most successful hockey seasons in many years, sport leaders throughout the Maritime Provinces are now turning towards baseball, the great summer game that has slumped woefully in the Provinces of late.

Crescents won the toss, and Nationals kicked off against the wind, They immediately took the play into the opposing area, and it was not long before the first counter went on, Sathrang bulging the net from a cross by Nellie Dougall, Na- tionals were not taking the Crescents cheaply, playing all they knew.
