~ Brings Frankie Hart Into Action At Arena on Friday *Flying Dutchman" Will Be Rogers, Clever Wrestler "From Newark, N.J. -- Will Also be of High Class eet As a semi-final to the outstand- main event of the profession- hs stling show being staged at the Oshawa arena Friday night, a match has been arranged which will bring back a real favorite in these parts, none other than 'Frankie Hart. It was the latter "'who really introduced the grap- "pling game in these parts when "he gave such a high class exhibi- tion at the carnival for the relief of the unemployed. And for an " 'opponent, Hart will have Bobby Rogers, of Newark, N.J., who comes with the best of credentials. Rogers will have to be every . bit as good as they claim he is to take the measure of Hart, for 'there is not a cleverer performer in the business than the Holland- er. The latter, because of his nimbleness and acrobatic stunts, has been well nicknamed the "Fly- ing Dutchman." For that matter, most of the time during his bouts "he is whirling through the air or tossing his opponent about. Being both a high class wrest- ler and a first class showman Hart "is the ideal modern day grappler and after seeing him in action it is easier to realize why wrestling 'has taken the country by storm and is outdrawing other sports. In fact, the modernized sport Las practically driven boxing out of _ Toronto, a city where fistcuffs * reigned supreme for many years. And the reason {is that . the wrestlers provide thrills and plen- ty of them. No time is wasted in Bi ling. From start to finish, it Is a series of thrills, the kind the public like. Both the main bout and the semi-final at the Oshawa arena on Friday night have been carefully matched up so that' the fans are assured of plenty of excitem ul In each case, a speedy grappier is meeting a rough, tough oppon- ent and matches of this descrip- tion usually provide the greatest contests. Where Jack Kogut, light heavy weight champion of Canada, will have it on Alec Koski in clever- ness and experience, the latter will have quite an advantage in weight and strength. Hart will probably be a whole lot faster than Rogers, but the latter will have quite a pull in the weights and will probably be the stronger. One more bout remains to be ar- ranged and that is also expected to be in keeping with the high class main bout.

KINGSTON LEAGUE MEETS Kingston, April 29.--At a meet- ing of the Kingston District Base- ball League, entries were geceived from the Canadian Locomotive Com- pany, Gananoque and Sydenham. Last year the Canadian Locomoti-e Company. Ponies, Sydenham and Gananoque comprised the league. An invitation has been extended to the Napanee Baseball Club to enter a team in the league and it is likely that consideration will be given to the invitation. The intermediate league has prospects for a good sea. son. Another meeting of the league will be held next week when of- ficers will be elected, and arrange- ments made for thé schedule. Belanger Beats Weigand by K.O. Toronto, April 29.--Charlie Bel- anger, of 'Winnipeg, the Canadian light heavyweight champion, made it two in a row inside of eight days over Art Weigand, the vet- eran and durable southpaw, from Buffalo, in the main bout at the Shamrock Club's show at the Arena Gardens last night, when he stopped the American in the seventh round, but the end did not come until after a bout that was almost as thrilling as the encoun- ter between the pair last week, when Belanger was given the de- cision. Nor did it come until the winner had first dogged himself back from the verge of a knock- out in the third round, then bat- tered down Weigand's defence, and, after flooring him twice for counts of eight in the sixth, put on a body attack in the seventh that caused he Buffalonian to fall face downwards on the canvas ex- hausted. Weigand was out with- out a doubt, in fact he was prac- tically out on his feet from some time in the sixth round, and ref- eree Marsh did not waste t¥me starting a count. He immediate- ly lifted Belanger"s hand. There has" always been a fear that a rematch of a stirring hattle will prove a dud and apparently quite & number of local fans were of this opinion. The attendance, while the show was a financial success, was not nearly as large as was expected or was deserved af- ter the boxers' first meeting, Once again those who stayed away were the losers as the bout was a fight from start to finish and the tide of battle turned first to Belanger then to Weigand and finally to the Winnipeg lad.

It is not generally known, but it is a fact, nevertheless, that these two boys were desperately anxious to locate in Oshawa, and to play hockey here, but the question of finding em- ployment for them stood in the way, and so nothing could be done about it. * adds to its attractiveness. * * before the season opens. matches of this calibre arc presented to the fans. p When they visited Oshawa while in the east, there were plenty of whispers as to them coming here, but it has all blown over since then, and now Montreal has secured them. * * Good Wrestling Assured It looks as if the wrestling bouts at the Oshawa Arena on Friday evening will provide the fans with plenty of action and thrills, Kogut, the Canadian light-heavyweight champion, has no set-up in Alec Koski, while the announcement that Frankie Hart, who made a good impression on his previous appearance here, is also to be on the card, Toronto has fallen hard for the wrestling game, and it is quite likely to be just as popular in Oshawa so long as Jack b 4 Lacrosse Practice Tomorrow The Oshawa City Lacrosse Club has called its first practice for to- morrow evening, at 6.30 p.m. at the Motor City Stadium.

Steps are be- ing taken to make a supreme effort to have a strong senior team in the city, and the possibilities are good. The Oshawa City club's finances are not in very good shape, but an effort will be made to improve them Pending the securing of new equipment, all players are asked to bring what equipment they have, and especially sticks, 'along to tomorrow night's practice. Baltimore, April 29.--The Tor- onto Leafs evened the series by taking the final game from the Orioles here yesterday, 6 to 5. The Birds made a great vid for the contest in the ninth, but fell one run short of tying the score after having three men on and only one out. A perfect throw to the plate by Ken Strong to catch H:ne Sand sliding in, following Frank Gib- son's hit, prevented the flock from knotting the count and likely sav- ed the game. As it turned out, the Leafs won the clash in their half of the ninth with a perfect squeeze play. Stack and Harrison opened the final frame by hitting safely and Stack went to third after More- hart had flied out to Boyle. With Richardson up the squeeze sign was given and Stack streaked home as Richardson laid down a perfect bunt to Holloway. Ar Mills and Joe Carscella were the starting pitchers, but both failed to last. When the flock be- zan making threating motion in the ninth, Manager O'Neill yanked Nick ,Harrison, who had relieved Mills in the seventh, and sent Guy Cantrell to the mound. Guy was faced with two on base and Heffner up. The local boy Toronto Leafs Even Series By Defeating Birds, 6 to 5 sacrificed and Linton, who had hit a homer previously, was passed purposely. This put three on the sacks and Frank Gibson went in to pinch hit. His single to right scored Stroner, but Sand was out at the plate on Strong's chuck. O'Neill then yanked Cantrell and sent Frank Barnes on to pitch to Boyle.. The latter rolled out to Richardson and the game was over. HOMERS VALUABLE Jersey City, April 29. -- The Buffalo Bisons copped their initial series of the year with the Jersey City Skeeters here yesterday, tak- ing the final game of a four set- to affair by a score of 12 to 7 in a free hitting tussle. An erratic start by Bob Walsh and sloppy relief hurling by Ren- nes Graf, who relieved him in the first, stacked the Bisons an enor- mous lead. Harris, Sax and Cote hit home runs for the winners.

SAYS CHINA SHOULD | CALL CONFERENCE U.S. Senator Comments on Depressed Price of Silver Washington, April 29, -- (C.P.)-- The suggestion that China might properly call an international confer- ence on sliver was advanced Satur- day by Chairman Pittman, of the Senate Foreign Relations Sub-Com- mittee which has been studying the depressed price of that commodity. Pittsman will sail from Seattle for China May 16 'to study the silver question and the causes of the drop in Chinese-U. S. trade. The Senate at the last session of Congress adopted a resolution report- ed by Pittman's sub-committee urg- ing President Hoover to call an in- ternational silver conference, but the President has taken no action, Pittman said Saturday there was opposition in some quarters to Presi- dent Hoover calling such a confer- ence for fear other governments would attempt to "enlarge the scope of the conference to include debt settlements and other financial ques- tions." "I cannot see any sound justifica- tion for this timidity," Pittman said, adding that the President could jus- tifiably refuse to extend the scope of the conference. "There has been considerable talk in China among its statesman of the advisability of calling such a confer- ence," the Nevada Senator continued "China could very properly call such a conference. China is suffering more than any other country, al- though all silver using countries are suffering from the unnatural depres- sed price of silver. "Every government, in my opinion, would feel it its duty to its business men and its commerce to be present at such a conference."

Ol- czewska, the prima donna, nearly six years ago, declared that their di- vorce in December was solely be- cause of the higher taxation on their combined incomes, making marriage too expensive. Their combined incomes, he said, made them liable for about $10,000 more income tax than otherwise, His wife sang for most of each year abroad, where she was also taxed. The Supreme Court has decided against their 1927-28 taxation appeal, after two years' litigation, Dr. Schipper said that they occup- ied before marriage adjoining flats, which would be continued. They were determined to maintain separate households, even paving their own bills at restaurants when they lunch- ed together. The divorce has not altered their personal feelings in the slightest. "We consider ourselves unitéd hearts as before." Mme. Olczewska was dismissed from the Vienna State Opera in 1925 for spitting from the stage into the wings of Mme, Jeritza, the singer.

Ontario Amateur Softball Association Gives Strict Ruling on Procedure -- Oshawa Industrial League Meeting on Thursday Eve- ning There will have to be a showdown this season between the Oshawa Ine dustrial Softball League and the South Ontario Softball League. This 1s not of the seeking of either. or- ganization, as both of them have been perfectly satisfied wth the way things have operated in the two leagues in past seasons. The bone of contention, it appears, is the entry of teams from within the limits of Oshawa in the South Ontario League. The Industrial League has the fran- chise for this territory, and while it has not been complaining about local teams entering the South Ontario, it is understood that the Ontario Am- ateur Softball Asosciation has given a ruling that the South Ontario League cannot accept affiliations of teams from within Oshawa without first receiving the consent of the In- dustrial League Just what will be the outcome of this situation is uncertain. It is un- derstood that the president of the South Ontario Softball League has been sent a letter by the secretary of the O.AS.A. informing him that it is strictly acainst the ruling of the provincial body to accept teams from Oshawa without first securing per- mission from the Industrial Softball League. It is quite possible, of course that this will create no difficulties, and that the two leagues will be able to come together and reach an ams- icable agreement on.the situation. Meanwhile, the Industrial Softball League is pushing ahead its pans for the season. A meeting of the league, to which all interested clubs are in- vited to send their representatives is being held in the Motor City Stadium on Friday evening of this week, when it is hoped that the final entries will be received, and some progress made in the preparation of the schedule for the coming season. The league officials are hoping for a full turnout at this meeting, so that it will be possible to make real headway in lining up the various series for the opening of the season.
