PAGE EIGHT Cl THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1929 Last Night's City Title Softball Final Game Was A Terrible Fiasco Fhose who didn't see last night's ale ween Fittings' Juniors AYMC, stayed away from something that most heoply pre- for to miss, Undoubtedly it was a ition, The manager of ngs' Juniors, together with his bunch of usually smart ball players had earned for himself and his team the name of & good ball team and because of the way in which they battled with Hamliton and Okes of Toropto, they had ngs q # Isrge number of real pups rs, However, last Mahi per formance throws a shade overt whole year's work, No team shou be ashamed of & 10 remain on the field and delibor~ atply refuse to play ball certainly reflects no credit on the team or "its manager, The alibi was put up that the Anglicans started to hurry the game by deliberately trying to get out, In the third innings the Ang- licans scored four runs on one hit, This certainly does not look like trying to le down and in thelr fourth, the innings In ques. tion, three runs were scored on one hit, The catcher threw the bell foot over the second base~ man's head, by necident (7), and the eentre fielder prepared to fleld the ball and then stepped out of the way so that the ball would not hit him, The Anglicans seored and then asked the umpire to make the Fittings play ball, This had no effect and the Ang- lcan's then left for home with the Ngore 11 to 0 in their favor, Towns, pitching for the losers, tried hard until it was evident to even him that the fielders were not trying and then he could do noth. ing elke but let them hit it, For the benefit of those who do not know the rules for such a predicament, it might be sald that the rule for national ball is that A team may sacrifice its chances while at bat; if it so desires, but the team that is in the field must play ball at alli times and when it is evident that it is "ragging"' At is up to the umpires in charge to take drastic action at once, The general view is that the Anglicans were mot in the wrong In this re- spect, but of course, they should have continued the game, On the other hand the umpires should have made the TWittings play ball or given the game to AXYM.C, Tt should be made certain fn future that all umpires are to have an understanding on this point, even if the offending team has to for- felt the game, An three innings does not cons Atitute a game there is a problem before the League for {its next meeting, Perhaps the best solu- tion to the question is to consider last Monday's game as a sudden (loath game and let the winner of that game be declared the city champs, However, the League will decide that and it is to he hoped that they take steps to prevent a similar occurrence, ODDS AGAINST CUBS New York, Oct, 8,--Retting on the outcome of the world series as- sumed brisker proportions yester- day, Wall street reported, One commission house announced that odds had changed from even money to 6 to § on the Philadel- phia Athletics due to the appears ance of considerable eastern funds, + One wager of $6,000 to $56,000 was placed on the A's at those odds yesterday.
