THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, TUESDAY, MAY 28, 1929 Ts BASEBALL CLI General Motors Club Loses Equipment in Park Robbery Entire Stock of Bats, Several Fielding Mitts, Catcher's Decker and Several Pairs of Shoes Make Up Valu- able List of Equipment Stolen--Force Way Into Building and Break Locks, Thieves Are Successful in Malicious Plan The General Motors Senior Base- ball Club received another set- back over the past week-end when some person or persons broke into the shed in which their equipment was stored and stole a number of necessary articles. Some time between the finish of the game on Friday last (the holiday) and Monday evening the judges stand at Alexandra Park, which is stationed alongside the track and just to the south of the grand stand was entered, the locks on the. strong boxes were broken and every baseball along with a catcher's mitt, several fielding gloves and pair of shoes were stolen. Entrance was gained by knocking out a board near the top on the right hand or north side of the building, after which the miscreants had only to descend to the ground floor and proceed with their work. The locks on the strong boxes, the property of General Motors Baseball Club, must have proved more difficult as each lock was of a reliable make and evid- ence shows that they took some breaking. Broken they were how- ever and the listed equipment was taken. The Motors Club is the only Club that had any equipment stored in this building and are the sole losers through the maliscious pil- fering of the week-end sneak thieves. Nothing was known of the rch- bery until last evening when Man- ager Matt Sutton had his squad out for its first work out since their game on Friday. On entering the building it was plain that all was not well within and on investi- gation the loss was valued at close to one hundred dollars. The prac- " time was not held up however as Matt made a flying trip to the shopping area of the city and se- cured enough baseballs to hold the usual workout, CUBS LOSE TO TRAILERS Cincinnati, May 28.--The National league cellar occupants gave indica- tions yesterday that they had not curled up passively for the remaind- | er of the season, Cincinnati defcat- ing the Cubs, 8 to 5, and thereby | ending a string of nine defeats, The Reds' victory followed a meet- ing of the club directors this morn- ing. 'President C.'J. McDiarmid, dis- cussing the fate of Jack Hendricks, . said it would not be wise for the Cin- cinnati club to change managers at this time of the year, regardless of the poor showing Hendricks has made. Sweeney Leads League Batters Bill Sweeney and Les Burke con- tinued their upward flight in a bat- ting way at Buffalo yesterday, Swee- ney hit two singles in four times at bat, boosting his average to .371 and skyrocketing him to the top of the International league swatters, It was the twelfth successive game in which the Leafs' first-baseman has had one or more hits, Burke collected a single and a double in three tries, and his aver- age this morning is .341, Ralph Shin- ners, with a home-run and a two-bag- ger, climbed back into the .300 class, Sweeney stole his eighth base of | § the season and Pete Cote ticked off his eleventh double. ; Hoot Gibson, though he was with- drawn in the sixth inning in favor of Phil Page, received credit' for the 6-1 win over, the Bisons. : The Leafs as a team are batting 275.

Concerning Cross Checks In the past week or so we have been introducing to you a number of senior lacrosse players that are playing in the Senior O.A.L.A. this year, in the past these players have all been connected with the local club here, the General Motors Sen- ior Lacrosse Club. We now spend a little time in introducing players from other senior teams, and as the first team to visit Oshawa will be the Torontos, they get the first call, The initial player of these enemy players may not need introducing to many Oshawa fans as he was a familiar figure around this city last year when he was playing la- crosse with the Oshawa team in the 1928 season, but for the benc- fit of those that are not faminar with this smart home man let us present, Mr Jack Walsh, outside home man with the Torontos Sen- for Lacrosse Club. Oh, you know him do you? I'm sorry. You say that he is one of the smartest home men in the game? That's about right, he sure is one hard man to check, he is tricky and is always making plays to his team mates for goals and these plays are at all times well made, but listen fella, don't you think that Shepley cau keep tab on Walsh? Sure he can, but he will have some job doing just that little thing. Shep is go- ing to have a busy afternoon next Saturday if they sick him on Walsh but Shep likes a busy day better than he does if he has to loaf. The respective merits of these two players will be settled on the field here Saturday and those fans that know Walsh will be on hand to see and hear him play and talk his usual ace high game, this week. Jack was one of the missing players in the Torontos game with Brampton, and his absence is one of the reasons that the Queen City were shy: of goals when the time- keeper's whistle blew for the fin- ish of the gamle.
