> TON 10-6 IN TWELVE INNINGS Interest in Oshawa's intermedi- ate Ontario Rugby: Football Union team grows greater each day and the fans are turning out regularly' to watch the some odd thirty-five play- ers go through their drills nightly. { Coach Chilcott has put plenty of pep into the lads and while, it is true, all will not make a place on the team, everyfellow jumps right in with his whole heart at the' prac- tices, and the result is that competi- tion for the twelve regular places on the line-up is quite keen. Last night the boys were out at Alex- andra park and tonight . they will work indoors at the West End rink. This latter arrangement has been made possible through the courtesy of the Carew Lumber Company of this city. 3 Rumors of professional hockey threaten to take away Harry Lott, who is making things rather hot for the back division boys. The latest addition to the team is Lou Austin, a star with the Oakwood Collegiate team of 1924 and 1925. Oakwood C. I, lost out to University of Toronto Schools in a hectic series by one 'point. Austin is a linesman of no mean calibre. Blair, Whiteley, Matthews, Cornish, Elliott. Clarke and Logan, together with several others are going to make one an- other step for the middle and inside positions. They are all working hard and giving everything they have to catch a regular place. Backfield contests are strong especially Harry Lott, Hainer, Smith and Kilmer. This bunch looks to be in the best condition of the squad and it is rightly so that they should be. They, are the boys .who get the bumps more 80 than any other boys on the team. Bates, Beach, Cook; Jamieson, Norm. Hubbell, Clarke Hubbell, Prior and Black are all going great guns and .they should prove a mighty (dangerous attack. Abbie Foster and Reg. Fair are the dark horses among the squad despite the fact that both are new- comers to the local game, they show remarkable abiliy as ball catchers and runners. Onponents for these positions had better watch them. The remaining ones. McRae, Nott, Ley- don, Allen, Lich, Crowse and others who, turn out regularly have not voiced their opinions as to their . favorite positions. They are however making the going hard for the main- stays- and the scoach and executive is, doing everything within their power to make them comfortable. The Oshawa Collegiate Rugby squad is busily training these nights under - Coach Kirkland, a former Queen's University man. After a glance at the boys we are of the opinion they will go quite a way in the local grouping, even though they only play three games. Do you know that the short schedule may take a fall out of the strong Univer- sity of Toronto Shcools. It seems that every team in the group is fear- ing that U.T.S. squad, but just he- member that the best of em fall. Fi rst Gaine of The World - Series a Disappointment Pittsburg, Oct. 6.--The pitching wizardy of the Mathewsons, the Benders, the Joe Woods and Zhe Ed Walshes in the world's series combats of the past, tke crashing deeds of home run Bakers and Cobbs and Speakers, were all absent yes- terday in the first battle between "the Yanks and the Pirates and won by the Yanks, 5-4. A generous spatter of misplays grim errors and sloppy messing up of opportunity turned this into some thing like a game between the Brooklyn Robins and the Boston Braves along.abou: Septémer 15. The only thrills for the home crowd were those of disappointment, for their star pitcher flopped in his first start of the series and their field- ing defence sagged so that "there was little credit in winning for the Yanks. The New Yorkers were out-hit and out-errored, The hits the Pirates made did little to Miller Huggins' team, but the errors of the Pirates helped him a great deal. Simmer it down to one pitched ball and one Dbutter-fingered play and the Yanks would have lost but for a seamy error by George Gran- tham, the Corsairs' second baseman which upset Ray Kremer, the star pitcher, so that he gave two dam- aging bases on balls. The error cashed in for a rum, the bases on balls helped in the making of another and then anoth- er error by the Pittsburg catcher allowed still a third, Without these three runs the Yankees would have lost any way you figure it, So the question as to which is the better ball club of the nominees of the American and National Leagues is still undecided. The Yenkees made their errors tc6. One of them a muff by Bob Meusel, something like the one he committed in the final game of last year's series with the Cardinals of St. Louis, being responsiblé for one of Pittsburg's runs. And Pirates Might Have Won Throw this one out, as the fight managers say, and the fact remains that in a cleanly played test the Pirates would have won by a score of 3 to 2. The Yanks were out' hit, The Waner boys collected as many safe hits as Babe Ruth and Buster Gehrig, and in addition they had help from Wright and Traynor. Gehrig and Ruth had no help from any of the Yanks in real scoring at- tempts except Mark Koenig. °* Ruth and Gehrig did all the ot-1 fensive work of the Yanks, The Babe singled in the firs! and scored on a short fly by Gehrig which was play- New Oshawa Winter Garden o-ni ---wonderful music in a wonderful place ---one of the most beaut- iful gard- ens in Can- Admission 15¢ Dancing 10c Every Coiivenience For Comfort ba badly by Paul Waser, and turned into a three bagger, The youngsier was too anxious to perform beiore his first worida's ser- es crowd. He should have played Gehrig's: loftly safely instead of trying for a shoestring catch, for two were out and there was no chance for Ruth to go beyond third base if he held it to a single by waiting (ior Lhe first bound, for Meusel was an easy victim for the third out. That was pretty nearly as dam- aging a mistake as Grantham"s, though it didn't cost as much, Ruth Supplies Punch Agpim, in the Bhird,. (Ruth sup plied what punch there was, Gran- tham slipped up on Koeifig's sharp smack with one out. Ruth, who wasn't taking his long swing and aiming" at the right field stands, caught the bushmen unawares by iingling on the ground on the first pitched ball. That put Kremer where he had to pitch, and the threat of Gehrig and Meusel bothered him, He passed both sluggers and for- ced in a run, He wouldn't have had to pitch beyond Lazzeri, even at that, if he hadn't been wild and put two men on who shouldn't have been there. lazzeri's force of Meusel should have been the third out. But when an attempt at a doubl steal was made, Smith, the catcaer, first . made a smart play by bluffing a throw to second and then throwing to third, catching Gehrig off that bag. He failed to get Traynor"s re- turn throw, however, and that ac- counted for the third run in the comedy of blunders, Those Costly Errrors Without + Grantham's error the Yanks couldn't have scored any of those runs. Without Kremer"s bad pitching they couldn't have scored more than one, and without Smith's mistake the two teams siill" would have been tied in the ninth. Hoyt gets the credit for the win- ning of the game, but old Wilcey Moore, performing in the first world's series game he ever saw, saved it for him, The veteran rookie came along in the eighth, put oul two men on base throwing sharp smashing drives by Wright and Traynor. Grantham was too anxious to hit. Perhaps he was under orders to go after the first good pitch. But 'he strategy them was to wait and see whether the howling 40,000 crowd was going to make the Okla- koma farmer unsteady, Grantham helped him out by go- ing after a bad pi:ch, one that wonld have been called a secomd ball and put the pitcher in the hole, and the result was an easy roller to Gehrig and the retiring of the second man, which was a great steadier for Moore. Harris Hits for Run Harris followed with a stinging hit for a run, -and again it was the part of wisdom to have Smith, also a dangerous hitter,. to make the pitcher work. He also was too eager to kill the ball and he fell down going after low pitches when * he should have waited. The Pirates can be said to have made as many er- rors offensively as defensively, The Yanks had one clean run which coulan*t have been prevented --Koenig's in the fifth. It proved to be the precious mar- gin of victory. Koenig started with a two bagger to centre, and on Ruth's smash to Grantham he rsoved to third. No strategy could have prevented that and nothing except better pitch- ing by Kremer could have prevented Gehrig's long sacrifice fly to right, The strategy of the Buccaneers seems to be the curve ball. Kremer pitched plenty of them --pitched till he was tired. He held the Yanks to five hits, and after he was through Miljus, another veteran rookie, came in to surprise the folks with a nervy display. Miljus Effective He allowed only one hit in four innings--no one was out when Kre- mer retired after Lazzeri"s two base hit in the sixth--and the Yank who made that hit. Ruth, never got as far as secono, Nobody else reached first on Mil- jus, and he struck out three Yank- ees--Combs, Meusel and - Moore-- and was never hebind a single bat- ter---=~l1l with curve balls. If the supply of curves lasts, the Pirates will make trouble yet, and Miljus .may get another chance in the series--this time as a starting pitcher. From a pitching standpoint, the Pirates seem a little better placed now. Huggins has used Hoyt and Moore, and the question as to whe- ther he will start a left hander still exists, Bush has Aldridge, who is booked to pitch tomorrow dnd Lee Meadows and Carmen Hill. Huggins has Pipgrass, and he must fall back on Hoyt again, or Moore, with 'perhaps a chance of sending Shawkey to the firing line. If Pennock's leg gets back in shape he may be the nominee ™ the first game to be played in New York on Friday. g Davidson & jam IBS) Sport Snapshots Well Folks--The first of the "Se- rious" is over and the sécond almost finished and things in general look as though the Babes of Swat, Ruth and Gehrig and their Clan are go- ing to romp home with a nice lit- tle lead on the World's Series. While yesterday's score of 5 to 4 in the Yank's favor would indicate that the game was a close one, consultation with the box score will convince you otherwise. Just note the adjectives denoting misplays etc. in the fea- ture story. It's geally too bad to think that Peterboro lost the first game of the Senior Ontario Baseball Amateur Association's playoffs, but at that they did not do so badly in extend- ing the Hamilton Oskies to twelve innings. And after all that time, it took the veteran Eert. Gibb to come across with the necessary hit that forced in four runs making the score 10 to 6. It sure must have been a wonderful ball game. Poor Al. Heckman was knocked out of the box in the second and that for one thing just shows how strong the Hams are. It will likely be a three game series--so the Petes still have a good chance Still another Ontario championship was decided in the Intermediate Wo- men's Ontario Softball Association's title. Toronto Nationalists trounc- ed the Owen Sound ladies 7 to 3 in the latter city yesterday after- noon. The win gives the Nationals the title for the second consecutive time and had Owen Sound won, it would have been better for all con- cerned. That explains our attitude to- wards several times champion ball teams, whether they be baseball or softball, Take the case of our local Pirates, champs of the Ladies' Soft- ball League. Softball in this city never scored a greater triumph than when the Ontario Malleables defeat- ed the Pirates and thus made a second zame necessary. Brantford has won the Intermediate O.A.S A. title several times since the Associ- ation was formed and they are in there again this year It would do provincial softball a world of good if Chevs. or even St. Catharines landed the title Indications are the champion Ma- ple Leafs, winners of the junior In- dustrial League, are not going to ger a chance against the Toronto Telegrams for the juvenile champi- onship of the province this year. In- quiry from local executives about the matter revealed the information that the series may "fall thru" this year. Just why is not known. When it come down to bare facts there is absolutely np reason and those be- hind the guns, whether t*ey be lo- cal or Toronto officals, owe a cham- pionship series to the kids. Honus Wagner, who led the Na- tional League in hitting eight times, the first 27 years ago, spoke as ene batseman to another when Babe Ruth drove a ball out of the park in batting practice yesterday at Pittsburg, "That's hitting 'em, Babe," the great Wagner's tribute. "You are a good hitter yourself," said Ruth, "Want to hit one?" "No thanks," replied Wagner, who is on the shady side of 50, "I'm leaving the hitting now to you kids." The former star Pittsburg short- stop says '"'we,"" as he calls the Pi- rates, will win the series. was One game is all the Oshawa Col- legiate inter-gcholastic rugby team will play at home this season ac- cording to the schedule drafted at the meeting held in the local colle- giate institute yesterday after 4 o'- clock. Fans were rather disappoint- ed when they learned it, but under the circumstances it was the best thing that could be arranged. A winger must be declared by Novem- ber 7, Thanksgiving Day. Lindsay will oppose Oshawa Col- legfate in the interscholastic series f the first time in history this yvdar. "While Cobourg has been par- ticipating in the game for a num- ber of years, they have, fortunately or unfortunately, never played against the Oshawa boys in league fixtures. Oshawa sport fans wish them every luck in their new group- ing even though they will oppose our home boys. It was a big surprise to the Tor- onto Ball Club officials when they learned yesterday that Pitcher Bayne had been drafted. In fact, it was a shock, for they were of the opinion that Bayne had been sent to the minors previous to the time the International League agreed to the 'draft, They are not giving up without a fight and have written to John H. Farrell for a ruling. Bayne was bought recently for '$3,500 to report next Spring. The draft price is $5,000.--Toronto Globe, Many local followers of the Old Canadian Baseball League can re- member when Waite Hoyt, the bril- liant Yankee j4tcher, twirled for Montreal, Que. He was then just over eighteen year of age and he was the dread of every batter that faced him. After getting into the International, it did not take long for the Major leaguers to attach his "John Henry" to pink form. Hoyt 'left yesterday's 'game before it was completed suffering from a 'BHster under the fiigey way" it' ds mighty 'painful dnd" Witkey' 'Mao replaced him.

Bs A. A. finals Hamilton Oskies defeated Peterboro 10 to 6 by a great rally in the final frame. Bert Gibb, veteran pitcher, won his own game when he rifled a single to centre with two men on and none out in the third over- time period to send in.a pair of counters. In all but four innings the game was a pitcher's battle. The Petes jumped on Gibb hard in the first frame to score four runs and the Oskies drove Heckman from the box in the second when they counted six times. The Petse scored another pair in the fifth to knot the count and then the battle went on with six scoreless frames before the Oskies' fatal outbreak in the twelfth. Pitchers Strong in Pinches Both hurlers pitched nicely especi- ally with men on bases. In the fifth the visitors had the bases fuli with only one out, but were unables to gcore. Both teams gave their pitchers close to errorless support, the Peter- boro infield being spectacular in its fielding of ground balls. The Petes opened, the scoring in the first. Rose, the lead-off man, singled: Johnston flied out, and Swanston hit to Broadbent, who threw wildly to second. Heckman's single 'scored Rose and put Swan- ston on third. Ash hit safely down the third base line, sending Swan- ston in. while Harrison was hit, tilling the bases. Heckman and Ash scored on Jim Hall's single, but Hall went out stealing and his brother Jack fanned to end the inning. Oskies Take Lead The Oskies got them back with two extra, Gibb singled and scored when Ash threw wild after Scott's single. Pilgrim doubled to send in Scott and he scored himself on El- ford's single. Boyd sacrificed and Runion was passed. Sullivan then rolled to Rose, the runners advanc- ing and scoring on Languay's single. Broadbent doubled to drive in Languay and send Heckman from the mound. Hardill relieved the vet- eran, who went to right field. Gibb walked but Scott went out on a wonderful catch by Hall The next two innings were excit- ing but scoreless. In the fifth the Petes evened the count. Swanston singled and Heckman doubled. Both scored on Ash's two-basef crash, Har- rison struck out and Jim Hall and Hardill grounded out tg end the in- ning. / Gibl's Timely Hit In the tenth the Petes got men on first and second, but could not advance them. Then came the de- luge in the twelfth. Languay singled and so did Broadbent, sending Languay to third, while Broadbent took second on the throw in. Gibb won his own game with a single to send in both runners, Gibb was safe at Second when Johnston "tossed wide to Rose on Scott's . roller. Pilgrim moved the two un with a sacrifice and they scored on Elford's single. Boyd and Runion grounded out, Two snectacular catches by Pil- grim spoiled the Petes' attempt in their half of the twelfth.

It being rather late in the season especially considering that the group winner has to be declared by Thanksgiving. November 7, it was decided that each team would play the other teams of the league in sud- den death games which means that Oshawa Collegiate Institute as well as the other schools, will play three league games in their group this year. Of the local team's games, two are away from home and the last, with University of Toronto Schools, is at home, being scheduled for Alexandra Park on Saturday, October 29. The season opens on Saturday, October 15, when Oshawa journeys to Co- bourg and "U.T.S." go to Lindsay. Although Lindsay Collegiate In- stitute has been connected with rug- by for a goodly number of yedr, this is the first season in which they have been grouped with the local rughyists in the same league and in fact will, be the first time in which they have ever met in rugby, if not any branch of inter-collegiate sport. U. T. S. and Cobourg have both been in action with the local pigskin chasers previously. The following is the which was drafted: Saturday, October 15--U. T. S. at indsay; Oshawa at Cobourg.
