2 THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1930 CHevs. Have Big Margin Over Lansing and Win Heavy Hitting Game 24-12 Chevs. Hit Lansing Pitcher' . Fast Ball, Far and Often to Score Two-dozen Runs in the 9 Inni nsi Do a Little Hitting Them- selves But Issue is Never in Doubt After Second - Frame--Chevs. Play Well in Field for First Time in 2! (By Geo. Campbell Y The PLL Pht of the second game between. the Oshawa Chevs, and Lan- ing Ladies, played last night: at unnyside" Stadium, Taronto, be- neath the floodlights was two doz- en against one dozen in favor of the local ladies. | By their 24 to 12 victory last night the Chevs. climinated Lansing from the playoffs and advanced to the next round in their quest for the Inter- mediate Ladies' Sottball title, now held by the North Bay "Rinky Dinks." It was the Chevs." first introduc- tion to the "Bright Lights" but they came through with flying colours. They went on the field to play real ball and they succeeded. It was one fong hectic session but the Chevs. had only three errors chalked again- st them, two being bad throws. Lan- sing fielded a team somewhat dif- ferent from the squad which visited Oshawa but even then they were no match for the snappy Oshawans. They tried hard and they did a lot' of hitting but they were just naturally not in the same class. ji After' the fifth inning the enter- tainment ceased to be a game and became merely an affair, At the end of the fourth inning the score was 7 to 4, and it began to look as if there would be a nice heavy scoring duel but atter fifth inning was over, the action was confined to the efforts of the Chevs. In the fifth inning, with tivo out and the bases loaded, the Chevs. went on a rampage. Viv. El- liott drew a walk, forcing in a run but leaving the bases still loaded. Sister Mabel, who had previously struck out twice and flyed out once, promptly connected with a drive to' the bleachers, scoring two runs. A. Walker, H. Holmes, B: Morgan, in fact, everyone up to Viv. again had andther bat and when the dust had cleared it was found that only eight runs had crossed the plate in that in- ning. Almost enough! Losers Cut Loose However, the fifth inning was not simply an Oshawa frame, The Lan- sing softball squad came right back in their half of the fifth and for a minute it looked as if they might drive Viv. from the box but it proved to be only a temporary let-up on her part and they never looked very dan- gerous after this inning. In this fitth, they scored four runs, when the first batter walked and then the next two batters each rapped out a two-bagger and the fourth batter climaxed it all with a nice home run. This was their big inning but the were kept from being dangerous af- ter that. Heavy Hitting Game It was a heavy hitting affair, with the Chevs. taking a decided liking to the speed served up to them by Miss Turnbull, The Lansing hurler show- Ye CART W Lume Rr (© ed plenty of speed but the Chevys Auplicated their efforts of their. last meeting with a fast ball which was on the same diamond, namely against Owen Sound, and they slapped the llet into every corner of the lot, hat a lot of hitting they did. Every layer got at least one hit, with D, all V. Elliott, A. Walker and B. Morgan leading the parade. Extra base hits were not too plentiful but they were far from being scarce. e Chevs, were greatly superior with the willow but their margin in this department was exceeded by their superiority in the field. Every player turned in a good game. Viv, Elliott took things easily, only bear- ing down in the pinches. She was always complete master of the situ- ation and she took advantage of the excellent opportuni:y to let her team- mates do the work, and they did it very well. Mabel Elliott turned in a great game at second base, making several real snappy plays. "Babs" Fulton played a good game behind the plate. Hazel Holmes made two beautiful catches in centre field and "Ede" Elliott gathered in a couple of difficult flys in her section. "Ann" Walker made a slip on her first play but she wiped out this mark by her good play during the remainder of the game. The entire team played niec defensive ball, an while they were not up against extra strong op- position, they showed clearly that they will be hard to beat in the ng¢xt The Chevys. fully realize that they will have tough sledding in the neyt round, no matter who they meet, and they will have to keep right down to business if they hope to annex the Ontario title. Lansing tried hakd and they never quit but they were just a little too easy to give the round, things will be different. The Chevs, know it and if they are beat- en out, it will be by a team which fully deserves the victory but the Oshawans have an excellent chance to cop the championship and they in- tend to make the most of it. Last night's me was not very hard to win and the Chevs, played nice ball but they are not going to become too confident, just because they eliminated the North York win- ners. If the Chevs, go at their next opponents with the same "fighting spirit" which they displayed in the series with. the Wawas. they will make it very tough going for their rivals, no matter who they are.

Work Is being crammed on the boys in an- ticipation of the big game with Queens next Saturday. Coach Wal- ker is expecting much from his hopefulls in their initial contest, and the lads are very anxious to give the best that is in them, Last night Eight-cylinder Swartz, one of our congenial executives was over to see the boys work out. He was thoroughly disgusted with the manner in which Junker Kohen was traversing the track, so he prompt. ly doffed his coat and set Messrs. Kohen et al a merry pace around the oval, "Just for old times sakes" said Mr, Swartz but we heartily sus- pect that be and Russ Wilber have been practising for this auspicious occasion for some months, A rather good pun was pulled off by "Noisy" Hobart during scrim work the other night, Coach Walk- er had been drilling the boys in clipping and I'm not fooling at all when I say that we were beginn- ing to feel just the least bit ten- der in spots a few inches below the waist. Swede Logan was heard to ask, "What do you do if you have a sore hip?" and our reticent friend Hobart replied very mildly but with feeling, "Turn the other cheek!" A number of our fans have been disappointed this week in_not see- ing the boys in action more in the evenings. This has been due to the fact that we will be unable to prac- tise at the park from mow on and after to-morrow the flood-lights will be put up at the Motor City stadium. So, tell the wife to get supper ready early and just mosey down to the stadium any night around six-thirty and you will see all the gang in action, Ladies and gentlemen (if any), we present for your approval to- night "The solution to the marriage problem," Scott D.

"Back in the time of red flan- nel underwear and apple cider, the population in and around Myrtle was in turn thrilled, worried and relieved by the arrival of one (via the Royal Stork Air.ail), who was duly dubbed Scot Hubbel. At a right early age, our hero showed a very high regard for pigskin and records will show that many an hour was whiled away, DOWN BY THE OLD PIG STYE.

Great interest is being shown in the exhibition game which is going to be played in Kingston on Saturday afternoon, between Queens Srs. and the General Motors Blue Devils, very hard for this game, as they are out to make a good showing against the Inter-Scholastic Champions and it is not beyond the reakn of possibility that the Blue Devils might hand the Tri-Colour a beat- The Blue Devils are training Devils are fast rounding into mid- season form and Coach "Liz" Walker is working the boys hard ewry night this Week.

They have has raised the aforementioned hog- hide much higher than any other person around these parts and, thank heavens, seems to be well on his way to doing it again this year, Hubby excells in the application of a size ten boot on the under side of a regulation rugby ball, The result is much dismay in the hearts of the opposing backfield and many yards gained on the part of the Blue Devils. This year Hubby has been signally honored by hs team mates' by being made captain of the squad. Hubby can be count- ed on to give his best in the in- terests of the club and I'm here to tell you that he will be backed by every member of the team, Outstanding in every game he ev- er atempted, he is one of the best athletes in the city. Baseball, Hockey, lacrosse, basketball, soft- ball, and track, "Hubby" has play- ed them all with great success However it is in the fall pastime that he excels, Quiet and unas- suming his general apearance be- lies the energy he displays on the field. He is one of the best kickers in. the game and is a very illusive ball carrier, "Hubby" starred with the local collegiate team for five years, and was kicking half for the Blue Devils in '28 and "29, Scott is twenty-one years of age and weighs . about 170 pounds. His height is six feet. Watch the Cap- tain go this season, It has been rumoured around the office that "Dynamite Bill' Herring is going to turn out once more to try and see if he has lost any of the pep and dash that marked him as one of the hest footballers in hig college. There's not a shadow of doubt in our minds but what he would make his presence felt in more ways than one and we would certainly welcome him like a Pro- digal Son as the great game of foot- ball is only too glad to reclaim such splendid graduates as this same "Dynamite Bill" "Put out that light,"" said Doc Rowden as he planted five fingers and a couple of thumbs in Russ Wiginton's eyes. "I don't care what you do to my eyes, but please, Mr, Rowden, don't do anything that would take the curl out of my hair," replied our blonde hero Trom the prairies, So the noble Row- den spared the golden locks but blacked the eyes and the net result is that Russ has been kept away from practice ever since. "Let's get this thing straight," suggested Claire Eliott, and straightway piled into Ed, Wilson's leg and ripped a couple of ligaments in Ed's knee. The injury is prov- ing more serious than was at first expected and Wilson will be a doubtful participant in Saturday's tea party that is being staged by Queens, in honor of the General Motors Blue Devils, on the spacious grounds of Richardson Stadium, It has been brought to the at- tention of the writer that the so- called Tiger Hymn of Hate is NOT whiskey wee wee, whiskey wa wa ete, but Oskie wee wee, Oskie wa wa, The writer is sorry and ad- mits that he must have had his drinks mixed, Sorry Wally, Professionalism Is Aid to Golf Says Bobby Jones Princeton, NJ,, Oct, 1.--Pro- fessional golf purifies the ama- teur game, says Bobby Jones in an {nterview published yesterday. in the Daily Princetquian, campus daily of Princeton | University. "Without professionalism," Jones said in the interview, 'men would not have the opportunity to make an honest living at golf, and In their stead there would be a great many 'crooks,' falsely pretending to be amateurs." ; Jones likened golf rivalry be- tween the United States and Great Britain to football relationship bet Yale and Princeton, SARNIA WANDERERS ARE GETTING READY Barpia, Oct, 1,--The Wander- ers, ARF.U intermediate and junior teams are being - rapidly conditioned by Coach Stirrett and are beginning to appear Ilikc 8 squad that will' give others lots of trouble in both divisions. The intermediates are a safety squad and will show up well against London, St, Thomas and Windsor.

Training Diligently Kingston, Sept, 31.--Driving through their hardest workout of the year, Queen's seniors yester- day afternoon scord a 10-to-0 vie- tory over the squad of intermedi- ates at the Richardson Stadium, victory in the practice game being gained by virtue of sheer power in the line, as they plowed their way up the field to cross the in- termediates' line twice. How Hamlin and Blurp Stuart, rogular middle wings of the team, were the players who ripped the intermediates' line asunder and plunged through for the touch- downs. Stuart electrified the rafl- birds by picking a hole and tear- ing through for 30 yards, while Hamlin carried the ball ten yards for the second touchdown made by the Tricolor seniors. Coach Batstone was missing this afternoon, he having gone to Toronto to play bali for the Bell Telephone team in the OB.A.A. semi-finals against St, George's but under the guidance of Coach Art Anglin of the intermediates and Coach Bill Shaw of the jun- fors 63 players, out of a total squad of 105, were on the field for two hours, which included a spell o 45 minutes at physical train- ng. St. Georges * Play 3-3 Tie With Bell Toronto, Oct. 1,--Bell Telephone and St. George's will have to go right back at it again to-day as they falled to decide a winner yester- day at the Maple Leaf Stadium. They played a sensational eleven- inning 3 to 3 tie in one of the most hectic ball games that has ever been staged at the Fleet Street ball yard, There have been ball games and ball games, but it is a long time since anything like yesterday's has been witnessed in these parts, The affair was crammed full of ex- citing moments, and while it was a light-hittng encounter, the machine- like precision of the fielding was remarkable, a couple of lapses near the finish marring what would have been a real "world series" contest, It was a fine pitching battle be- tween Harvey Gillespie and "Irish" James Rasson with the honors go- ing to the former, but not by a large margin, as the teams went into the ninth with the score 1 to 0 in Bells' favor. Gillespie was in rare form after his long layoff and mowed the Saints down with grim regularity, not allowing a hit till the fourth frame and retiring the Pit Leaguers in order in the first three. He did not give another safety till the seventh and this, along with one in each of the eighth, ninth and eleventh, totalled five in eleven frames. He mixed a fast one with a quick breaking hook. He struck out three and gave the same number of passes, one of which blossomed iuto a run, He received wonderful support from his teammates until the fatal ninth, when the Anglicans knotted the count, two infield errors and a one- base knock. giving the Saints the necessary three markers. FRANK TURVILLE IS CHOSEN CAPTAIN OF Toronto, Oct. 1.--~Frank Turville was elected captain of Argonaut's Big Four hopes after the practice last night, the popular punter be- ing selected by his team-mates to lead them. Turvile has just re- turned from his honeymoon, and with trying to catch up lost time from practice beside settling dowr® to married life and leading an In- terprovincial team, he should be a busy young man. The elongated back-flelder should prove a good man for the job, as he is well liked by his teammates and knows how to act in the heat of a game as well as the cold of an evening workout, WHAT OTHERS SAY Whitby, Ont., Sept. 29, 1930. To Mr. Geo. Campbell, Sporting Editor, Daily Times. Dear Sir: In your issue of Saturday last a letter appeared from the*pen of Dave Stretton, sec.-treas, of the Oshawa City and Industrial League, suppos- edly in answer to mine of the even- ing before in the same paper, nat letter of mine stands as it was written with but one single ex- ception, and that is the word "handed"--it should have been "sent", Outside of that one change my letter remains as it appeared in print, and no apology will be .de- manded (or given by me) because of the assertion of truths therein contained, Mr, Stretton has nat seen fit to deal with my letter, but has penned certain questions for me to answer instead, so here goes to deal with his letter, paragraph by paragraph. In the very first paragraph Mr, Stretton uses these words (referring to me): "As he has attacked me personally I would, being the secre- tary, like to ask him a few ques- tions dealing with this matter." In only one paragraph of my letter did Mr, Stretton's name appear. He was not even referred to in any other paragraph. That paragraph stands as absolute truth with the one word changed as above. No attack was made by me on Mr, Stretton, nor will I attack him by any foul means. 1 dealt with truth in the other letter and intend to do the same in this one. When you wish to get people to think right along certain lines the best way to do so is to place your finger upon "a sore sport" And it is going to be placed on many "sore sports" be- fore this letter is brought to a close. Now_to his questions: 1st--What does. Rule 3, Sec. B. say? T-- The answer--"All players must be signed up on official playing certifi- cates and registered with the Associa~ tion Secretary for registration be- fore game." 2nd--What does Rule 5 say? Answer--"All players in Junior or Juvenile Series must produce Birth Certificates in proof of age with playing certificates, If born out- side the Province of Ontario an Affidavit prepared. and sworn to by a Notaty Public will be accepted." 3rd--What does Rule 6, Sec, A. say, and then back to Art. 3, Sec. B. say? Answer--"No player can be signed up or registered after July 12th, 1930." (Rule 6, Sec. A). "THE EXECUTIVE SHALL HAVE JURISDICTION OVER ALL VIOLATIONS OF THE RULES AND REGULATIONS of this or- ganization, and shall have power to suspend, expel or otherwise discip- line any player, club or person iden- tified with this Association," (Art. 3, Sec, B.) I certainly am glad Mr. Stretton added this last part to his third question. Tt will be easy sail- ing now, The next question is not numbered, but is as follows: "Can Mr. Johnston say from his personal knowledge that the Whitby Tuxis have lived up to either one of the first three ques- tions?" I KNOW THEY DIDN'T, but they DID NOT HAVE JURIS- DICTION OVER ALL VIOLA- TIONS OF THE RULES AND REGULATIONS of the organization --that belonged to the Executive. The secretary, Mr, Stretton, knew from the start that the Tuxis Boys were not living up to these rules, and, knowing this, he could not have brought it to the attention of the Jurisdictors or else they would have expelled them on the spot, as they deserved. Why were the rules com- pletely ignored by the Executive and the Secretary as long as the playing season was on and until the end of the playing schedule, and then re- surrected and put into force weeks afterwards? My goodness, but these are pertinent questions, aren't they, but they are excellent things to scare "niggers from woodpiles." Now, M. Stretton; 1 leave you to answer this question to - yourself: Why didn't you do your duty in_this matter, knowing that the Tuxis on were not living up to the rules? Why J were they allowed to finish the sea- son agd win both halves? You alone know "why." : You then conclude your question in this manner: 'Why were they (the Tuxis) given an opportunity three questions? Not being on the "inside" and in "the know" I don't know why? But I'll have something to say about this "opportunity" when I come to the paragraph in your let- ter dealing with the game called at Cowan's Park on Sept. 15th, Mr, Stretton's next question: "Can he answer this correctly? I say 'No,' he has jumped to conclusions and is trying to make a false impression." Ah, ah, wrong' again, wasn't you Mr. Stretton? I have answered every single question correctly. You knov it, and every reader knows it. ! If I had been in your sjoes, Mr. Stretton, I would not have Mentioned anything in your letter to The Times | concerning the - protest, because it on Sept. 8th to comply with the first |" gives me an excellent chance to deal with the matter in a way you least expect, ket us now return to the RULES once more, Here's the whole thing in full; PROTESTS Rule 9, Sec. A~Protest in writ- ing of any game shall be in the hands of the Association Secreta within FORTY-EIGHT HOURS at- ter the time of scheduled game, sign ed by either the President, Secretary or 'Manager of protesting club ac- companied by the protest fee. What do you say to that, Mr, Stretton (notice that heading "pro- tests"). The Tuxis Boys broke rules and were allowed to finish the sea- son without a protest being regis~ tered against them, but have now been suspended as a result. The St, Gregory's and the Red Aces broke the protest Rule 9, Sec. A, by not handing it in within the prescribed time (48 hours) but weeks after- wards, They were also allowed to get away with the breakin of this rule (WITHOUT SUSPENSION) and the Executive helped them in doing so by allowing the protest, be- cause a series of games was arrang- ed to be played as a result of this protest, Let me again repeat a sentence or two from my previous letter: Rules are rules; why not abide by them? What were they made for? ~ Now, just a word or two concern- ing the Cowan Park supposed game of the 15th. Here's Mr, Stretton's words in his letter: "As to the um- pire awarding the game on Sept. 15 at Cowan's Park, the umpires were not even on the diamond, nor did the 'Whitby team live up to their promise to 'the Executive at the meeting on Sept. 8th," Can you, reader, get this right? Think of it? The Sec.-Treas. was present at the grounds for some purpose that even- ing. The Executive had set a series of games to be played. The time had come and gone--545--to play ball, and Mr. Stretton tells us that "the umpires were not even on the diamond." Do you get that? A few pertinent questions would not be amiss here: Why weren't they? Who was looking after the matter? Who umpired the other games between these two teams? Didn't he always give both Oshawa teams a square deal according to their own words from their own mouths? Wasn't he there? Of course he was; he hadn't been notified otherwise. The paragraph concerning this stands as in my previous letter, Then there was the question of birth certificates. On this particular evening 11 Tuxis players journeyed for the game, each armed with his birth certificate. Mr. Stretton wanted the whole bunch (14) or none at all, These 11 were tendered to Mr. Stretton in the presence of player Bye, so they told me, but he would not accept them-- that left the final loophole to GET the Tuxis, and they were GOT, At no time throughout the playing sea- son did they go anyplace with more than 10 or 12, Here was a complete team with two extra players all arm- ed with legal certificates; if the rest had been there they would have had theirs, Only 9 players are necessary for a game, but it never came off. Justganother thought--Sec, Stretton was dsked to show the birth certi- ficates of the players of the other teams by connections of the "I'ux ; Boys, but that's as far as it got. Surely common courtesy: entitled them to see them, but not so, Here's a fact that cannot be obli- terated--The Tuxis Boys of Whitby WON both halves of the Oshawa and Industrial League without a protest beind entered against them, and should have been declared Cham - vions, The League officials (espec- ially Mr. Stretton) should have seen to it that the Rules were lived up to; IT WAS THEIR DUTY, and no one's else. They DIDN'T DO IT. Mr. Stretton asked me "why the Tuxis Boys were given an opportun- ity on Sept. 8th to comply with the first three questions." The playing scason was over then, My goodness --could it have been for the purpose of giving the officials a. chance to enforce the rules quoted above that THEY DIDN'T ENFORCE DUR- ING THE PLAYING SEASON? Whether this was the true reasor or not I do not know, but I DG KNOW it worked in letter if not in substance, Look at the whole thing from any angle you wish (from start to fine ish) and things look extremely "fishy," but "suckers" won't be run- ning so freely in Whitby another rear, Now, Mr, Editor, in conclusion, I wish to heartily commend you for your masterful editorial concerning the trouble in the Juvenile league in last Friday's issue. You placed the fault where it rightfully belongs. You're lucky he (the secretary) didn't pitch on you instead of me. True sport is wholesome--un« sportsmanship is degrading in the ex- treme. ; The Tuxis have been suspended: the cup remains in Oshawa, and all is now quiet on the Whitby front.
