PAGE EIGHT; THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 5,1929 ¢ Manager O'Neil's Single Wins Close Game For Leafs yr Long Single in Fifth Scores Shinners to Take 1-0 Vic- tory From Buffalo-- "Hoot" Gibson Pitches Nice Duel Toronto, June 5.--When Man- ager Steve O'Neill singled to left field in the fifthsinning of yester- day's ball' game with the Buffalo Bisons, he made the Leafs' third and final hit. But it preved to ve the most important drive of the game for it enabled Ralph Shinners. to come sliding home with the run that gave the Leafs a 1 to 0 victory and an even, break in the six game series with Clymer"s men. The Leafs failed to do very much in the matter of hitting but what ghey Jacked in this respect was more than offset by the good right arm of Sam "Hoot" Gibson. Gib- son set the Herd down with an even half dozen blows and in only one inning was he seriously in daan- ger of being scored on. Opposed to him was Art Mills, one of the most effective flingers in the Buffalo mound department, and for seven innings these Lwo waged a pitching duel that provid- ed all the interest. It was a cool day for the athletes and the few fans, but after Gibson and Mius warmed to their task they occupied the spotlight and there wasn't much else to the ball game except the brilliance of their perform- ances. ' Shinners Comes Through It was Mills' hard luck that the Leafs should bunch two of their three hits off him at a time when they would derive the most benefit from their efforts. Shinners stayc- ed the locals on the way to victory with a ringing single into left field after Burke had opened the inning by fouling out to Collins. Cote worked Mills for a base on baus and Manager O'Neill cracked the first heave for another single to left. Shinners galloped all the way in, just managing to beat the play ac the plate by an eyelash. He slid around Catcher Pat Collins as the latter slapped the ball on him, it mattered little what happened af- ter as events turned out. Gibson got a life in that same inning when Elliott was over anxious to make a double play and booted "Hoot's" roller, but with the bases loaded, Rabbitt and Bedore were easy vic- tims. 5 Mills was removed to let Barnes bat for him in the eighth innmg and Ale Ferguson was elected to face the task of retiring the Leafs in the last half of the frame. ' Fer- guson was wild and the locals fill- ed the bases on two walks and Rab- bitt's bunt which Ferguson pegged to second too late to catch Gibson, both runners arriving safe. Bedore sacrificed and then Man- ager Clymer electrified the fans by ordering Ruble purposely passed to get Sweeney, Clymer apparently knew his stuff for Sweeney's poke to left was taken by Jordan after.a long run out on the grass and Gib= son was nailed at the plate by sev- eral feet in am attempt to score after the catch, The Montreal Royals come to town today for their first visit here. this season. INTERNATIONAL | KEYS FOLLOW CLOSE Reading, Pa., June 5.--Reading rallied for seven runs in the eighth to score a 15 to 10 victory over Newark in a wild game here yes- terday. The game saw nine pitch- ers toil with five working for Newark. Reading scored its sev- en runs on three hits in the eighth. Wildness of Bear pitchers aided the Keystones. 64TH DOUBLE PLAY FOR RED WINGS Montreal, Que., June 5. -- Ro- chester employed their base hits to better advantage than did the Royals and the Red Wings captur- ed the closing game of the series here yesterday afternoon 7 to 6. The victory gave the Wings a 3 to 1 break on their first visit here. Pinch Hitter Conley "hit a home run with none on in the ninth to start the assault on Lingrel, who had been sent in to finish the game for Jacobs. Heinle Sand hit a home run-in the 5th with Worth- ington aboard.. The Wings pulled two double plays during the game, the second being their 64th of the season.

The day was cool but the officers of the club appreciate the extra large turnout of riders, it reveals credit to the officers when such large turn- outs are meady for rough riding as was experienced on Sunday, a few of the riders stayed at Orillia where at all times the club is sure of a warm welcome. The front road master was Ray Burton, whilst the rear part of the parade was attended to by E. Vanson. Our rear guard gave us and 'the citizens of Coldwater a demonstration of fancy riding and bare leg riding and many were the smiles that were cast his way. An impromptu. hill climb was held at Cabin Bay and all machines went the hill in great manner. It was to be regretted that two of our regular riders were taken away from our fold by the geod looking girls of Tweed, but we expect to see them next week. So fellows, whether you are members of The Canadian Motor Cycle Club or not, you will always fina a hearty bunch of riders ready with a hand, so come along and bring your crates next Sunday. Riders with English machines are especi- ally. welcome and any competition they propose will be accepted so come along and enjoy the fun. The next meeting of the Canadian Motor Cycle Club will be held Thursday next at 8 p.m., at Ray Burton's Cycle Shop, 21 Prince St. Oshawa.

Has He Got the Speed --By Jimmy Thompson FiRsT BAseMAN FOR THE TORONTO LEAFS WHO HAs BEEN SHOWING CLASS THIS SEASON Bill Sweeney, the bang-up first- baseman of Steve O'Neill's pen- nant-chasing Toronto Maple Leafs, now looks one of the best first- sackers.in the minor leagues. This so-called veteran--and at that he is younger than Collins of Rochester--has turned out to be one of the most brilliant perform- ers at the first stop since the days of the great Jack Thorney. He not only plays like Thorney, .but re- sembles him in appearance. Thor- ney was a real human dynamo and so is Sweeney. SE A suggestion was made recent ly that his speed would be more useful in the field than at first but the objection raised to this is the fact that he is not the best throw- er in league, but that shouldn't be held against him. 5 PORT SNAPSHOTS The enthusiasm displayed by the players and spectators at the open- ing of the General Motors Office League last night was a sure indication of the success of this league. They had no pompous opening ceremonics but gathered at the Motor City Stadium, King Street West and started to play ball. And they play real ball too, playing a doubelheader of seven innings, the two winning teams displayed a classy brand of softball while in both cases the losers were good until such time as the balloon ascended. The two games last night were between Parts and Service and the Third Floor, the Parts winning the game 14 to 2. The Fourth Floor de- feated the Second Story team with a large score, the most of which were ammassed in the last two frames, score 17 to 3. The Oshawa Ladies' Softball Leaguc held a meeting last night, the result of which is a promise, that promise is to let us in on the secret in the near future. They also promise that the ope ng game is not so far distant now that the missing diamond is almost in rcadiness for the opener, At the regular meeting of the City and Industrial Softball League the main business was the passing of certificates of players that will be taking part in games this Thursday, Friday and next Monday. Bhe St. Gregory's have been acting 'the role of the dark horse lately, but with the coming of Friday's game between the Saints and the Oshawa Daily Times, scouts from the Times' Office have been gathering in dope on these nt bashful ball tossers, and they are not treating them lig ly. They appear to have a team that will take a lot of smart playing to eliminate. They have on their roster some smart players in the persons of Doc Hubbell, Jack} Cotter, Murray Johnston, Frank McCabe, Jerry Scott, Basil Higgins, Leo Mulligan, Bob Ross and Tommy Leveque, and along with plenty more smart players the St. Gregory's team are confident that they can hang a defeat on The Times in the first set to. Tomorrow at Cowan's Park sces the Ukranian St. George's juveniles and the highly rated Red Aces hook up in the opening tilt and the Ukes will have to go to defeat these cards as they have been hard at work since early spring and are now raring to get up and at 'em. Then on Friday at the same place the Ukranian A.C. take on the King Street Junior team, This to is expected to be a real game. The Ontario Malleable Iron Girls' team are playing an exhibition game with the Buicks of the same league on Friday night at Cowan's Park and for those that are interested in getting a little adyance dope on the strength of these two teams. that are in the same group with the Chevs. and Whitby, this exhibition game will be just the * 'ticket" for steeping oneself in know- ledge regarding the merits of these unsung teams. YANKS TAKE FOURTH New York, N.Y., June 5. -- The Yankees made it four straight ov- er the White Sox here yesterday, winning the final game of the ser- ies by 4 to 2.The White Sox again hit freely and were masterea* by Henry Johnson, who gave up only four safeties. The offensive to- tal of Chicago for the four-game series were four runs and 18 hits. SENATORS RALLY IN NINTH Washington, June 5. -- After trailing for eight innings, Wash- ington drove over six rums in the last frame to defeat St. Louis, 8 to 7, yesterday and even the ser- ies. = Walter Beall, Yankee cast- off, making his first appearance on the mound for the Senators, relieved Liska in the fourth in ning and got credit for ahe vic- tory. : INDIANS DEFEAT LOWLY SOX Boston, June 5.--Lou Fonseca's batting gave' Cleveland four runs, while Jeff Zinn was allowing the Red Sox only five hits yesterday, and the Indians defeated the Bos- tonians 4 to 0. In the first in ning Fonseca drove the ball over the left field fence after Jamieson had doublel. In the fourth Trav- ener 'and 'Zinn singled, and after an infield out Fonseca singled, scoring the two runers. = Racing Pigeons Increase Speed The Oshawa Homing Society held their usual weekly . or race on Saturday last from Byng Inlet, Ont., a distance of 152 miles, This race was even faster than the | race held the week previous which proves that the Oshawa birds have ipeed to burn. » The birds were liberated in Byng Inlet at 1040 a.m. and the leading birds arrived in Oshawa at 1.45 p.m. the following is the result of the ace and the yards per minute flown )y cach competitor's birds. 1.

The Phillies took the first two contests of the series and the Pirates the last two. BRAVES DEFEAT LOWER REDS Cincinnati, June 5.--The Braves smothered the Reds' attempt to pull them down into a last-place tie here yesterday by knocking Luque and Erhardt from the box. Boston won 4 ao 1. Leverette limited Cincinatti to seven hits and held the home club scoreless until the final inning. Sisler led the Boston attack with four hits in 5 times up. The Reds won the ser- ies, two games to one. CARDS MAINTAIN LEAD St. Louis, Mo., June 5. -- The Cardinals lost half a game of their lead to the Victorious Pirates and Cubs by dividing a double header with Brooklyn here yesterday, but nevertheless, remained in first place in the National League by a comfortable margin, The cham- pions. took the first game behind the fine pitching of Jess Haines by 3 to 1, but permitted Brooklyn to romp off with a decision by 11 to 8 in the nightcap. PLENTY OF HOMERS Chicago, Ills,, June 5. -- The Cubs shook off their batting leth- argy yesterday and although ahey failed by one hit to match the Gi- ant total of 4, they sent enough of their drives over the fence to win the final game of the series from the New Rork aeam by 10 to 9. Hack Wilson led the Chi- cago attack with two home runs at Hornsby, Grimm and Grace, got one apiece. Ed. Roush and Bill Terry hit the circuit in behalf of John McGraw. Anglers Will Hold Contest Members of the Oshawa Anglers' Association are asked not to forget Friday night at Port Perry. Prizes will be given for casting also for the largest cat fish taken from the lake. Members will be received by the Lake Scugog Anglers' Associa- tion and meet at the dock, so fill up your car and don't forget worms for your cat fish. Cars should leave the city at not later than 6.30 p.m., to be there at 7.30. Casting practice at Alex- andra Park tonight when final ar- rangements for the trip will be made. Concerning Cross Checks Next on the knock down list is one that needs no introduction whatever, Norval (Norv) Hubbell is an Osh- awa boy and has been prominent in athletics in this city since his school days. Last year Hubbell played on the General Motors Senior Lacrosse team and played high class games throughout the season. Norv last year was the big reason that Machell, a star on the Brampton twelve was a dim light in the finals, when put on the field to check a man, Hubbell makes sure that man is going to be checked and in many cases the man in question is unable to play fast en- ough to need a shower at the end of the game. If Hubbell is checking him the opponent is followed from corn- er to corner, whether. big or small, and they are all the same and when the opposing home men are useless. LACROSSE There's a snappy Canadian game calls ed lacrosse; If you haven't a love for the game, it's your loss, There are thrills enough in it to last one a week And there's action each minute, for nobody's meck On that field, where the ball those twenty-four sticks, And two dozen players do all sorts of tricks, and You may talk of your baseball and football and such, But lacrosse has exctiement the oth- er's can't touch. It's a battle sublime from the whis= tle's first "toot" For the full eighty minutes. "Oh, look at that brute!" "A wonderful save!" "Now, go past him there, kid!" . » » Such cries thrill your soul, from the drop of the lid, How they handle those sticks is a treat to behold, And the way those boys run, though there's some rather old. Pretty passing, and nct combination, in spurts, See that body check jolt him! I'll wager it hurts, Sce the goalic stop that one, as cool as you please, While those players swarm near him, like hornets or bees. Is there truly, I wonder, a dearth of support, For a game that's peculiarly Canada's sport' I was raised in a town where lacrosse meant far more Than a handful of players, and draw- backs galore, Yet I oftentimes hear--and I think it's a shame-- Of "the passing of Canada's national game!"
