A AGE EIGHT), THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, AUGUST 16, 1929 'OSHAWA AARABSEVENFINAL SERIES BY TAKING SECOND GAME 3TO1 Office Team and Parts . Are GM.C, Champs Al) Gace Are Won boy Lops sided Scores -- But Hold "Interest of Large Crowd of Fans -- Handsome Prizes for Both Winners and Losers The Office West Ends, the Parts and Service team and the Office Girls succeeded in winning the championships in the three divi- sions of the softball tournament in connection with the sixth annual picnic of General Motors of Can- ada, the finals of which were stag- ed before a monstrous crowd at Al- exandra Park last night, The run- ners-up in each case includeu the Paint Shop team, the Export team and the Factory Girls. The rain had made it impossible to complete the softball tourna- ment at Lakeview' Park last Satur- day afternoon. The weather i1ast night, although somewhat on the cool side, was favorable for sort- ball and thousands were on hand to witness the games. All three games were played at the one time thus allowing the fans plenty of choice. Some snappy softball was provided. Office West Ends vs. Paint Shop The Office West Ends showed their superiority over all comers when they defeated the smart Paint Shop outfit for the champi- onship of the first division, to the tune of 14-1. The painters were ai- lowed but one hit while their op- ponents had 11 chalked up to their credit. Errors figured extensively in the defeat of the Paint Shop as they were responsible for 12 as oppos- ed to 4 against the credit of the victors. The West Ends. proved themselves heavy sluggers, Elliott securing a home run in the eighth , frame while Brown, Webster, Sim- mons, Brand and Baird all account- ed for hits. At the conclusion of the game every member of the winning team was presented with 'a handsome pair of military brushes on. behalf of the Corporation. A fine pair of cuff links was also given to every member of the Paint Shop team. 'The score by innings: -- . R.

Parts and Service vs. Exporm Scoring five runs in the fifth innings, the Parts and Service ag- gregation © succeeded in ousting the Exports 12-3 for the champion- ship of the 2nd division. The winners each received a handsome watch chain as prize while mem- bers of the Exports were donated a cigarette lighter apiece. Parts and Service jumped into the lead early in the game when they scored two runs in the first frame. They added four more to the count in the second innings and clinched matters when five runners crossed the plate in the fifth. The Exports counted a run in the second stanza while they also scored in the fifth and sixth.

Exports--Hurst, Cornish, Tyrell, Hubbell, McCallum, Russell, Hum- back, Hinks and Wilson. Office Girls vs. I'actory Girls Although the final score of 41-4 indicated that the play was very uneven, the game between the of- fice and factory girls attracted more attention than either of the other two games. The largest crowd surrounded the diamond where the girls were playing and vented its enthusiasm by yells and cheers. At- though a better class of softball was provided in the men's divi- sions, the girls proved the best drawing eard and held the atten- 2 12 Summer Fight Show Condemned In the past few days there has been appearing comments on box- ing activities where some of the local boys are concerned and the chances of putting on a card either pro or amateur here on Oshawa early this fall or late in the sum- mer and as a result we have a let- ter from a person that should know as the Writer of this lefter has not only been connected with the fight game in Oshawa but has also fought in some of the more recent shows held here. Bill Adams expresses his opin- fon of an attempt to sponsor a boxing show here in no little man- ner saying that he does not believe that the fans would not turn out in sufficient numbers to meet the expenses that would be incurred by such an event, He is not alone in this opinion as there are several men all of whom know the attitude of every sport fan and they have an identical opinion, not that the fans are not sports, but that the "tin" is not plentiful enough, Mr, Adams' letter follows for all sport fans to read and he is willing that the fans of the city follow in sending letters of en- couragement so that by the time the backers of the first of this season's boxing shows do come around the fans will be awaiting them with anxiety. Oshawa, Ont. August 16, 1929. The Sports Editor, Dear Sir: In regards to the boxing items on your sporting page, may | ask you Have any of the cards put on at the Armouries ever rewarded the efforts of the men who backed them. I think I can safely say, Yes. But only in one way, and that is this-- that they have been the mecans of bringing some good fights to Oshawa. These cards have never paid, but have been the means of keeping Oshawa on the sporting map, and developing some good boys, such as Jimmy Leonard, Bert Ripley, George and Jack Goodall and Bill Stocks, And . these, days when every one is making their dollars go as far as they can, I fail to see where you or any one else could make a pro or any other kind of a fight pay. Even if the admission were as low as 25 and 50 cents you could not get a crowd big enough to pay the ex- penses of the Toronto boxers, and they ask more than the Oshawa boys. But at the same time I should like to sec+a good pro fight here, but doubt whether the backers wouldn't have to reach far-down in their pock= et hooks to help cover expenses. As you say, Ed. Donald - should know, so should Bill McNeil, who did pretty nearly all the work in re- gards to hoxing shows last year and the year before. Why not ask him? Hoping 1 have not taken too much of your time, I am yours, Very truly, BILL. ADAMS. N. ationals Win . Easy Game The Oshawa Nationals last night went to the front of the class in the Major League by winning an easy game from the Beaches United, four goals to one. The Beaches team were no match for the locals and wera weakened in addition to that which made the local management issue orders to layoff. Sathrang scored three of the teams' goals, one of them being the smartest play of the season when he drew the goalie out of his net to run the ball in unmollested. Petersen scored the fourth local goal while the Toronto teams' goal was the result of a penalty kick caused by a stray hand touching the ball. Oshawa 'Nationals--EIlrich, Con- nors, McGregor, McLean, Coll, Hagan, N. Dougall, E. Dougall, Sathrang, Petersen, McLatchie.

Tonight The fans that visited the Molor City stadium last night to see the second game for the right to meet Textiles and Fitlings play their second game for the right to meet the leading Anglicans were cent home without the game * having been played as the IVittings were forced to default owing to the fact that they could not field a team and as a result the Textiles receive the .assignment without having earned same. The hardball game in Peterboro took a number of the Fittings team out of the city and when the game was called these players' positions still void without enlisting the players from the Fittings juniors, this would have made the junior players illeligible to play in the finals, Though the fans may have felt put out over not seeing their team play last night these same fans will not be disappointed if they go right back there tonight to see the Textiles play the An- glicans in the first of a series for the league title and the right to continue in the Ontario Softball playoffs. The Textile team got in some valuable and needed practice after the announcement and they will be at full strength for their game tonight, they will need to be as everyone knows but they are quite confident of holding the feared A's. With Webster the leaders' star pitcher 'having been doing plenty ball tournament the Textile batters of hurling during the G.M.C. soft- fore the largest crowd that ever are of two minds as to whether he will be improved or weakened by his series of games. LOW TOURIST FARES HELP YOU SEE CANADA Of course you'd like to visit the Coast and on the way see all the places you've dreamed of---busy growing cities like Winnipeg, Bran- don, Regina, Saskatoon, Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver, and Vie- toria--the spreading prairies, Jas- per National Park in all its moun- tain splendor, the sombre Skeena River, the famous Sheltered Scenic Seas, perhaps even Alaska, the al- luring Land of the Midnight Sun. Low Tourist Fares help you see the utmost at least possible ex- pense. Ask your nearest Canadian National Agent, he will give you rates and help you in making your trip absolutely worth while. "POC" BOWDEN Catehr for the league leading glicans who meet Textiles the lcagus title tonizht at Motor City Stadium. An- for the SPORT SNAPSHOTS We got a nibble on the box fighting question as far as local shows are concerned and got it from one who knows about as much about the game as any, the writer of the letter having been connected with shows held here both as a combatant and otherwise. Mr. Adams takes the usual pessimistic view but also states his desire to see Oshawa promoters He also calls upon Bill McNeil to say a few words in running a show, the matter, Should we get a comment from Mr. McNeil all those that should know will have spoken and a fair idea of the chances of success in such a venture will be had by all those that have requested Oshawa's view of the matter. Softball holds sway. this evening with the finals of the intermediate series the event of the evening. This game will be played at the Sta- dium between the A.Y.M.C. nine and the Textiles, the T's having won the right to meet the A's owing to the Fittings being forced to default the second game of the semi-finals that was booked for last night. Some people may entertain the idea that Textiles could have acted in a more sportsmanlike way and had the game postponed when it was learned that the Fittings could not field a team, Unfortunately this could not be, as the Ontario playoffs call for all leagues to be finished by a certain date with a winner having been declared. The Fittings and Textiles were ordered to play last night and the Fittings were unlucky in not being able to muster a team. The Textile management * are absolutely blameless for if there was any way that the postpone- ment could have been arranged they would have been only too willing to reciprocate for favours done them by the Fittings' manager, Once again Trainer Easton of the Oshawa Nationals soccer club comes to the aid of the needy, This time his ability to handle the first aid kit was called upon when the Nats who were travelling to Toronto to play the Beaches United came upon an accident on the highway just west of Highland Creek. The car that overturned had caused in- jury to an elderly couple, the occupants of the automobile and the Nationals bus stopped to see if there was any assistance needed. Mr. Easton was called upon to render first aid which he did with such ex- cellent results as to stop the flow of blood and ease the pain of both the victims, ° - This accident caused the delay that resulted in the game being shortened. The Nats won an easy game when they defeated the Beaches Uni- ted 'four goals to one. Everybody and their relations are going to Brampton tomorrow to see the General Motors senior lacrosse 'team hook up with the Bramp- ton Excelsiors in an effort, which should be successful to win the sec- ond game of the series and the right to play the Eastern and then the Western teams in the Dominion finals, Brampton town folk are confident that the Red shirted Excelsiors will be able to turn back the Motors and they even threaten to "dress" Sproule, their brainy sharp shooting home man, Let 'em, Norv Hub- bell will look after Zimmer the same as he has been doing for the past three games, and Smithson, Shepley or Coulter will attach themselves to Mr, Sproule, which will mean that Sproule may just as well be rest- ing that sore ankle as standing idle on it all afternoon, The rooters and fans will again meet tonight in the yIndustrial Re- lations Building and have a final rehearsal of their parts for the "Tak- ing of Brampton." At this meeting the girls of the Company will also he represented to sec what they can see about getting transportation to the game. Rumor has it that the Chevs and Marquettes girls' softball teams will travel en masse to the game. The first game. of the softball finals in which, Oshawa fans .are interested js to be next Wednesday when the Fittings juniors go to Hamilton to play a Mountain City team in the first step of the O.A.S.A. playoffs, Double Wins Help race.

After the smoke of the hattle had cleared up the Aarabs were leading on a 3 to 1 score, Oshawa went into the game for a win and they got what they were after even if they did have six errors against them. The Rays had four. The Peterboro ciew scored their only run on a walk and an error while Oshawa's first two runs were the result of three singles in a row.. Their third run came after a walk, two sacrifices and an error. The locals were in there every time cutting off the Petes chances in the bud. In the fourth innings with three on and none out the locals mowed them down when Gower in right fiela pulled in a nice flv and made a perfect peg to home cutting off the runner, Their next batter struck out. "Duke" Dainty went the route for the locals although it was his first game of the season. "Duke" showed the fans that he still has most of his old stuff on the ball and whiffed it across the plate like a million dollars, He showed perfect control throughout the whole game although he had four walks against him. None of these came in any crucial moments as Kitchen did who filled the bases several occasions with a walk. Kitchen pitched a nice game for the Rays, Right now he's their only pitcher and he goes in with a smile every time, Kitchen is still eligible for junior ranks but that doesn't mean a thing to him. He's just as good where he is with six strike-outs to his credit last might. The game was a nice one thrcugh- out with both teams putting up some stiff opposition, Fielding on both sides was fast with Rogers for the Rays pulling off some nice running catches in left field. Hit- ting was infrequent with the locals having five and the Rays three. Many a smart clout for both sides looked like a hit but was snapped up quickly. i First Oshawa--McDougal thrown out at first.
