SENIORS TAKE 7.2 VICTORY FROM LEADING BELLEVILLE NATIONALS --- Snappy Fielding and Timely Hits Win Game For Motors «Against Leading Nationals Hammer "Lefty" Pointer for Six Runs in First Three Inning--Two Base Hits Are Numerous (By Staff Reporter) It was their night to Howl. , In an advanced scheduled game the Oshawa General Motors' senior baseball team last evening took a decisive win from the leading Belleville Nationals, the score be- ing seven to two. Avenging themselves for the one hit victory that Lefty Pointer or the Belleville nine got here a cou- ple of weeks ago, the Motors pounded him hard in the opening innings of the game and amassed six runs before he was yanked and replaced by Ab Young. With the appearnce of Young on the Mound, the Belleville team tightened up a little and held the locals to fewer hits and only one run for the re- mainder of the game. Both teams hit the ball freely and the: strike- outs were few, but the stellar field- ing of the Oshawa crew kept the Belleville clouts well in hand, and they had runs on the bases a num- ber of times but could not advance them in against the airtight ball played by Johnny Gowan's men In pinches, And for once the locals go the odd break when the Belleville team pulled some bone head plays while running bases. The feature of these bone head plays was pulled by A. Weir in the sixth, when he thought his long single had been caught and trotted in towards the home fold to be put out by Penu at second. Manager Matt Sutton, once more in the game afer a holiday, played a new role and played it well when he held down the initial sack ac- cepting eleven chances without a black mark. Steve Penu, playing Mattes' regular place, second base, . performed like a veteran getting two putouts and six assists. Ty Little at short again put in one of his real days and covered ground around short with a speed that al- lowed none to pass. Alex Gray in right field came through, putting out two men and figuring in two more plays, with nice throws from deep centre. -The longest hit of the day went to Belleville, a three bagger to deep centre that rolled almost to the track in that pasture--a beau- tiful smack. This was not his only hit ag he gathered in another, a single. Doc Rowden also fatten- ed up his average, getting two long doubles out of four times to bat. Osborne went the distance for Motors and backed by his team's smart fielding pitched real ball, while Theo Elliott, catching hha, ably received the shoots. Pointer, starting on the mounu for the losers, gets charged with the loss, although he only pitched two and a third innings. Peenee Mills catching, he and Young, the relief pitcher, played nice hall, Saishing two base runners in the net. Play by innings: 1st Inning Oshawa--Gray grounded out, V, Weir to H.

Marsden opening the innings. Runs came slowly at first, and in the third over of the game Worsencroft was dismissed by Mann, after having broken his duck's egg. Morris then went to the wicket, and put on a valuable fifteen runs, before falling to Langtree toward the close of Parkdale's innings. Morris and 'Marsden proved a good partnership, but Marsden was the first to go. being bowled by Howarth, after he had scored eleven, Doctor Bennett was' dismissed by the first ball of Howarth's over, long, as Sar- his earlier mis- | May did not stop geant atoned for take by catching May nicely in the | slips, when at two. | Williams and Martin made a stand, but the Oshawa field im- proved, and Longbottom caught Williams when he had added eleven. Langtree and Bennett Neville, re- spectively, off Mann's bowling. Martin put up a fine innings being top scorer with sixteen not out. Hargreaves was dismissed without further score, and Park- dale"s innings closed for seventy- four runs. Oshawa's Innings Rain began to fall heavily as the Oshawa batsmen faced the bowl- ers. Most of the cricketers made a few runs to help their side on to victory, but there were one or two outstanding batsmen to whom especial praise must be given. Howarth, besides bowling re- markably well, played the leather to some purpose as he collected twenty runs before being dismis- sed. Haley also played with great skill, for after "getting his eye in" he made fourteen runs. The game was touch and go all the time, the issue being in doubt up to the time when the last man went in. When Chappell and Fowler faced the bowlers, a number of runs were still required, and a good last wicket stand was made. This stand was productive of twenty-one runs and Chappell and Fowler deserve a great deal of credit for their play, Chappell being twelve, not out, and Fowl- er, five, not out, when stumps were drawn. z x The winning. hit gave Oshawa the victory in a closely contested match by one wicket, Scores Were: 37 43_39--163 41 44 45-170 43 -- 89 | Oshawa Entrants J. Roberts, 44 H. Millichamp, 40 A, W. Smith, ~ 46 ANNUAL CONTEST OPENS TODAY The athletic team of the Toronto police left for Montreal last night for the anhual police athletic meet that opens there today. The photographs here show (1) Jim Temple, who is the Toronto force 100 vard strong man. (2) track team, left to right, Art Keay, Wilf. Gillen snd Al. Bishop. (8) Stan Burkholder, will negotiate the broad jump, and (4) Eddie Evans, who is optimistic about the hurdles. The meet will include some 17 events. Chief Inspector Guthrie, president of the local association, will accompany the team, which, all told will include nineteen members, { SPORT SNAPSHOTS The Belleville Nationals have been making a name for themselves this year by having a large bag of tricks a few of which they produce each game and a great many of which are turning points in ball games, up until last night the turning points had nearly always been toward the Quinte City but last night they uncorked a few new ones that diverted the tide of battle westward, chief among these tricks was one that was absolutely new and has not as yet been recorded on any books in the halls of balldom. The play mentioned is the one when ? hit a long fly to centre and reaching first base could have made second easily 'but instead of running for sccond he turned into the diamond and started to jog towards the Belleville dugout, frantic yelling by the Belleville coachers and the uproar made by the crowd attracted his attention and when he looked up an Oshawa player had the ball and was bearing down on him, bewildered ? turned and dug for second but was cut off and called out by the base umpire, When asked why he had started for the bench in place of stretching his sir nto two bases hc said, "I thought he caught it." Can you bend that? not the only bone head play that the Nationals pulled; any thing right and invented many new time waiting But that was as they could not seem to do ones that have probably been in their system for some for a smart team to take advantage of. And while the Belleville team were getting the bad baseball out of their system the General Motors nine were playing real ball, hitting the ball for long singles and an occasional double, fielding like veterans and perfecting smooth inside baseball plays that will, win again and once more, that is if they keep up the same stride that they started out 'with last night. The Peterboro people need not worry so much about this left handed hutler on the Nationals, the one that they used here some weeks ago by the name of Pointer, last night they started him in the' mound but his port wheeling mattered little to the slugging Motormen. Pointer like all the rest can be got to when a ball team is hitting the ball the way the Motors were in last night's game. He lasted a little over two innings. The big noise in town tonight will come from the Motor City Sta- dim when the Oakwood Grads play their first game on an Oshawa field and in this game meet the snappy intermediate team that gave them the torrid battle up on St. Clair avenue last week. Both teams need this game, the locals more particularly, as they will just tie for the play off position by winning it, while the Toronto team will be there undisputed if they were to win to-night, The intermediates have improved to such an extent that they are now gunning for the scalps of the senior team. They have issued a formal challenge to the General Motors seniors asking them to play a game in order to prove to the fans that the intermediate brand of lacrosse this year is mot far behind that of senior, if any. Though the Motors have not accepted the challenge as yet, it is likely that they will and when they do, beware, the fans will be treated to a rare contest that will equal many of the heralded senior attractions. The Red Ace juniors have been winning softball games regularly and are now well up in the league standing, but they are not high enough and in order to climb still higher they will start regular prac tice tonight. All players are asked to be on hand at Alexandra Park at seven p.m. sharp so that a valuable workout can be gone through with, Arrangements have been made for another Toronto Girls' team to. visit our city and these arrangements bring the Quaker Candy team from the Toronto Ladies' Industrial League here on Saturday to play the Ontario Malleables at Rotary Park in an exhibition game. These Quaker maids have been doing a little barn storming and have made trips to many Ontario cities with still a large number of games in out of towns to be played. On 'nearly all these trips they have been victorious, so there can be no doubt that they are good. doa on) WJ Malleable Girls To Play Touring Quaker Candies The Malleable Girls have ar- ranged 'a difficult assignment for Saturday evening at Rotary Park. Their rivals, the Quaker Girls of Toronto, have the reputation of be- ing one of the smartest industrial girls' softball squads of the Queen City. The local girls, however, are quietly confident that they have a smart team which can take the feasure of the most outstanding teams and they are determined to give some real opposition to the "candy maids" on Saturday even- ing The Quaker Girls are playing in the Toronto Women's Industria: League which is composed of teams recruited from the various indus- trial plants in Toronto. The "candy maids" have always had a formidable team during the past three years and were always a dan- gerous contender for the Queen City industrial honors. This sea- son the management and the coaching staff of the Quaker Girls have lined up an aggressive col- lection of ball stars that have been conspicuously successful in their league games and have surprised the fans throughout on many of their out-of-town trips. An ex- tensive series of exhibition games are being arranged for the "can- dy maids' with the leading squads in the various sporting centres of Ontario. This game here on' Sat- urday will be the fourth fixture in the Quaker Girls' itinerary of out- of-town games, The "candy maids' have already visited Owen Sound, Guelph and St. Catharines and are booked for Niagara rans on the Saturday after next and on Civic Holiday they will meet a St. Thomas team and a London squad at Port Stanley. The local fans will be assured of a clever exhibi- tion of girls' softball on Saturday at Rotary Park. * i What Others Say 3 Ca 2 2 a 0 July 16th, 1929. Sporting Editor, Oshawa Times, Oshawa, Ontario. Sir: As you are aware, the Oshawa National Soccer team have accom- plished a great achievement inas- much as they have for the first time in the history of Oshawa won the right, by competition on the field of play, to represent On- tario in the Dominion play-offs. They have together right now one of the smartest and classiest outfits playing Soccer, and are quite capable of holding their own in any company. It must be a big moral drawback and certainly a less sense of enthusiasm ahd will to win, when they are handicapped with the knowledge that their fin ances through lack of public sup- port at their games are in such a state as to possibly force their withdrawal from the competition. Having got along so successfully this season under their own steam (as it were, financially), they are deserving of the support of every sport fan in Oshawa, by their De- ing on hand to see them play their return game with the Quebec Champions on Monday, the 22nd inst. This game would not have been played in Oshawa at all if it had not been for the loyalty of the club to its few fans who have been faith~ ful to the club with their support. The writer understands that a big guarantee was demanded before the game wags sanctioned for Osh» awa. It is up to every sport fan in our City to gather togther atthe Motor City Stadium next Monday night forming such a bumper gate as to give the. boys confidence to go right ahead and bring further laurels to this fair City of ours. Yours, "A Well Wisher." Cleveland, July 17.--Three In- dian errors gave the Athletics six runs and allowed the Mackmen io win their third game in 4 starts 7 to 5 here yesterday in ten in- nings. : New Club Pro Wins Open Title Toronto, Ont., " July 17.--Dave Spittal, professional at the Royal York golf club when it opens in September, succeeded Arthur Hul- bert, Thornhill professional, as Ontario open golf champion after a contest yesterday on the difficult test of the Lakeview Golf and Country Club which terminated with the last pairings ' hurrying along the eighteenth fairway to a moonlit green, : After the first round Spittal was in a tie for third place with a score of 76, Kay, Lambton; Lou Cumining, Toronto Women's Club; Gordon Brydson, Torontp Golf; Lex Robson, Weston; Jack Littlern, Scarbro's Willie Spittal, Oakdale; Don Carrick, Scarboro', and George Boeckh, York Downs, all had re- turned cards of 76 or lower and with several others were 4 strokes behind Kay, 'the leader, with cores of 78. Returning from his afternoon round during which he putted with deadly results, Spittal equalled the course record with a 72 to give him an aggregate of 148 and the championship, prob- ably the most important event of the season in eastern Canada, with the exception of the Canadian open, to be held next week on the Anawaki course, Montreal. Tods Win 7-1 Over Tecumsehs The largest lopsided . score to date in the city lacrosse league was chalked up last night by Tods Bakery when they defeated the Tecumsehs by a seven to one score. Only in the first period were the Indians anything like their usual self and in this period they got their one goal with Hall netting the goal. Like all other things when one is off the other is on and that was the way of last night's game, the Todmen were up on their toes from start to finish and easily out- played the Tecumsehs. In the first the Tods scored three to the In- dians one with Black getting two and Corrin one, Bell notched the only goal of the second period while Corrin counted two more and Toppings one in the final frame.

Soccer play downs here is beginning to show itself by num- eroug letters from fans expressing this same appreciation and also expressing their intentions of suy- porting the team that has brought such an honor to Oshawa, Chief among these letters is one from the Mayor, Mr. T, B. Mitchell ad- dressed to the sport fans of this city, Mr, Mitchell's letter speaks for. itself and reads as follows: An open letter to the sport lov- ing public of Oshawa. Oshawa Daily Times, Oshawa, Ont, Dear Sir,-- This letter is an open one to the sport loving public of this our efi and 1 sincerely hope that you will find space in your sport page for the message contained in it, I, as the Mayor of Oshawa have always followed the sporting activ- ities of the different teams that play under the Oshawa names and in following these games have de- rived a great many pleasurabie evenings and afternoons watching the athletes of Oshawa competing with teams from other Ontario cities, Many of these pleasurable afternoons have beem supplied n+ the soccer teams and I fully un- derstand the difficultieg that these teams have been playing under having no large organization from which they can count on financial support. This was not the only dil- ficulty that the teams encountered as it is well known that football has been losing a great deal of its popularity, not particularly here but in other counties where there are so many activities on the sport field that the soccer teams are crowded to one side to make room for more popular sports, Vieing for the interest of the Oshawa sport fan are the Oshawa Nationals and the Oshawa City soccer teams both of which have done exceedingly well against op- posing teams, the former going right through to win a provincial championship and with the win- ning of this title came the right to journey to Montreal to play off for the Dominion title the winner of these game to go to Winnipeg. At the same time as the news broke of the winning of the On- tario Championship by the Oshawa Nationals came word that both games in the Eastern Canada fin- als would be played in Montreal unless a substantial bond was as- sured to cover the expense of the Montreal team in coming here for the return game. Now, fellow citizens and sport fans, the purport of this letter is to assure you that the Oshawa Nationals and the Associ- ation have been guaranteed this bond by the City for the simple reason that the City council fuliy realize that in having this second game played here they will have the biggest sport attraction of the province played In their city that has been scheduled to date. T wish to say that the city council and myself are behind this plucky club to a man and that we are ex- pecting to see one of the largest crowds that ever packed a soecer stadium at the Motor City Stadium next Monday when the Oshawa Nationals play the Montreal C.N.R. in the second game of the. East- ern Ontario finals. This team has put the city of Oshawa on the sporl map to stay and that is only a small reason why they deserve the support of every Oshawa citizen and sport fan. Hoping to see you at the game | beg to remain T. B. MITCHELL, series here yesterday. The score was 11 to 7 .
