Team and Expect to Have A Most Successful Season Murray Johnston is Elected President, While Neil Hez- zlewood is Appointed Sec: retary-Treasurer -- Meet- ing Largely Attended That Oshawa will be represented in "the Intermediate series of the Ontario Rugby Football' Union was made a practical certainty last night following a meeting of those interested. The gathering was held in the Y.M.CA Immediately following the Meeting the the newly elected officers were busy on the long distance telephone and @ few minutes before ten o'clock, Harold Bailey an official of the Union told Murray Johnson, gewly elected presi- dent, that the local entry would be gratefully accepted and that Oshawa would probably be, grouped with twc Toronto teams. "You'll just fit in fine," said Mr, Bailey. Last night's meeting was honored hy the presence of Arthur Legge of 'the General Motors, which concern is go- ing to finance the undertaking and under which name the team will play At the ouset, Jack McLaughlin who acted as chairman until after the elec- tion of officers stated that the'tem- porary executive committee had inter- viewed General Motors officials and the result was that financial arrange- ments were made. In regard to the election of officers, Mr. McLaughlin advised strong and interested persons.

"You'd he surprised the wmber of players who have called n to see -me;" he stated, Mr. John- ston then alluded to the fact that the officers have no hold on the players ind it is up to them to take hold of things and turn out regularly to praec- tices. Preliminary workouts will he held every night commencing with to- ight and then later heavier stuff will he indulged in. Dempsey Is a Different Man From Last Fight Lincoln Fields, Crete, Ills, Sept. 20.--Jack Dempsey, on 'edge yester- day for his battle of $3,000,000 with Gene Tunney in Soldiers' Field next Thursday night, is as different from the Dempsey of a year ago, when he lost the world's heavyweight cham- plonship to Tunney in the rain at Philadelphia, as black is from white, That at least is the verdict of oh- servers who have watched the form- er world heavyweight champion in all his battles from the time he bat- tered Jess Willard into a helpless hulk in Toledo back in 1919, to his last engagement--his knockout vic- tory over Jack Sharkey seven weeks ago, If the present-day Dempsey isn't the same old Dempsey of the Firpo days, he is so close to the real ar- ticle that his admirers hardly can distinguish the difference. Some say his victory over Sharkey caused the change; that it dispelled all doubt in his mind as to whether or not he could come back, and, hav- ing convinced. himself that he still carries the old murderous punch and cap stand up under a punching, he is certain he can destroy the popular belief that "they ever come hack." Dempsey is determined to come back, pot half way, but all the way back. 2 SEN Yesterday afternoon he lounged about his training camp and found difficulty in keeping still. He gos- siped with his camp attendants, read a bit from magazines, sat in a game of cards and then strolled around the place--a picture of a boxer brim- ful of nervous energy and in condi- tion. "I know I am in the very best of condition; I feel it" Dempsey said. "When I fought Tunney a year ago I did not have a bout for three years. It took that bout and the one I had with Sharkey to bring me back. I'li regain the title. I feel sure of it." Hamilton, Sept. 20.--Hamijlton Oskies have decided to protest last Saturday's 0.B.A.A. game in Wind- sor, which they lost in the ninth in- ning by 5 to 4. The Hamilton club's complain is that the crowd surged on the field in the final inning, pre- venting Hamilton players from mak- ing a play at the plate on Collins, who hit a long drive to left-centre that went for a homer and gave Windsor the winning run. Catcher "Scotty" Boyd, they con- tend, was surrounded by Windsor fans, when Collins was completing the circuit, and Alex. Scott, who had taken a relay throw from Lan- gusy, could not see Boyd. The Ontario Baseball Amateur As- sociation Subcommittee will deal with the protest here on Wednesday immediately after the Windsor and Oskies play their second game at Scott Park. ROY CUTTS OSHAWA ELECTRIC SERVICE Has been appointed as the representative in this district of the well known appliances dis- tributed by the Northern Electgic Company, Ltd., supplying Electric Ranges, Gain-a-Day Washers, Ohio Vaccum Cleaners and Floor Polishers and miscellaneous appliances. A Snapshots | Oshawa citizens will have the op- portunity of seeing faster rugby this year as a result of the Ontario Rug- by Football Union accepting the entry of the local team following last night's meeting held in the Y.M. C.A. Quite true, the collegiate lads do play a fast brand for the Inter- scholastic series, but collegiate rug- by and intermediate O.R.F.U, rugby cannot be compared. In some local ties it is believed that the teams in the intermediate series are on a par with leagues of higher calibre and these places are trying thelr level best to get a senior rating, but so far the O.R.F.U., has said "No." : "You'll fit in fine," sald Harold Bailey of the O.R.F\U, in speaking to Murray Johnston over the jong distance telephone last night, John- ston lost no time in getting busy af- tar being made president and five minutes after the meeting adjourn- cid he was in conservation with a prominent Taponto sportsman who referred him to the proper official, That's taking an interest in a thing. Johnston put plenty of pep into last night's gathering and in his little presidential sppech urged all the players to co-operate with the oiua- cials by turning out to practice regularly. The hoys were eager to get out and promised to he on hand at Alexandra Park tonight as soon after five o'clock as possible, Limbering up exercises will be the main routine for a while, ac- cording to Deleney, a product of Queen's 'and who was left in charge of the team until a permanent man ager ie appointed. Deleney is a big chap and looks quite capable of handling the boys in their prelimin ary workouts. The appointment ' of a managed and coach was left open for a time. After the team gets working and after the executive committee has had a chance to con- fer, the players will appoint their own manager, The problem of a coach, however, is more serious. "The appointment of a poor one might be costly to the team," said Mr. Johnson. Sale of Frank Emmer, Minneapol- is shortstop and 1927 home run king of the American Association, to the Detroit Tigers was announced vesterday. Emmer, who leads the cireuit with 31 home runs, will re- port to the Tigers next spring. Emmer came to Minneapolis from the Cincinnati Reds late last season, has hit around .330 and has fielded brillianty. He formerly played with the defunct London Mint League team. "All we want is a crowd out there to cheer for us," said a play- er on the Chevrolet team at a sport meeting last night. He explained it was very hard to play Mount Den- nis at Kodak Park last Saturday afternoon with 500 of their sup- porters booing and cheering for the home club. Peterborn and Toronto St. George's are going to play the third game of their 0.B.B.A. playoffs in Toronto at the Maple Leaf stadium Saturday afternoon and in view of there not being any International League ball any more this season; the Petes and, Saints should draw a good crowd. Just who will be in the box for the Petes is doubtful, although it would not be surprising to see Hardhill sent back. He has had a good rest since last Saturday and should be in the best of shape. Carl Voss as consented to act as coach of the St. Thomas interme- diate O.R.F.U. rugby team this sea- son. Voss is one of the best-known rugby players in Canada. Last year he was a valuable member of the Queen's University semior intercol- legiate team, where he starred on the back field. Voss will immediate- ly take charge of the team. The only thing that is causing local rugby officials to worry at all is the fact that it gets dark so ear- ly in the evening. A suggestion has been advanced that the rugby club make an effort to have the park commission leave the flood light that were used during the fair up and have them turned on for about two hours each evening. The lads would then be able to catch up with the training they hare al- ready lost. It's getting pretty late in the training season now and things must be speeded up. The Committee will take the matter up with the park commissioners. Quite a number of local boxing fans have announced their intention of taking in the bouts held under the auspices of the Shramrock A.C. in the Arena Gardens at Toronto Thursday evening. All the out-of- town boxers are in the city and ap- pear to be in the hest of suape. An- nounocements will be made as to the progress of the Dempsey-Tunney battle. Maior Goodsell, worid's champion prosoRsibhai sculler, has received a cable from his backer in Austral- ia, E. C. Cooke, that the challenge of the Australian champion, AMM. Burns. has been withdrawn. This means, Goodsell said, that if Bert || Barry, the English champion, whom he defeated on Labor Day, cares to file a challenge it will be the first ACORACA-LORSIELAtiOn. on - - -' Boys' Athletic Over 200 Boys Attend Re- organization Meeting -- Three Fifth Form Students And One Fourth Year Stu- dent Occupy the Four Stu- dent Positions on the So- siety, Thies fifth form students and one foutth year student will occupy the four student positions on the boys' athletic society of the Oshawa Colle- giate Institute as the result of the election of officers which was held last night in the school auditorium with over 200 boys attending. Mr. L. Stevenson, head of the science deparment, was re-elected honorary president with Mr, Glass and Mr. Ewing being also nomin- ated. Scott Hubbell, vice president two years ago, and captain of the hockey and haskethall teams last year, was elected by an outstand- ing majority, for president. Bill Gummow, associated with rughy and basketball teams in which he took an active part, was elected vice president with Stuart Carver and George Barnum being also nominat- ed. Duties as secretary will this year fall to Oscar Baird, while for treasurer, Stuart Carver was the decision after a three cornered vote hetween him, Lloyd Daniels and Jack Henry. For secretary, Carver was also nominated and was only denied that post hy a narrow ma- jority.
