BALL CLUB SECURES OPTION Montreal, Oct. 15.--Options on the vacant property bounded by On- tario, . Delorimzer, Lariviere and Parthenais Streets, known to the sports public of Montreal as Mas- cotte Park, have heen taken up by the Montreal Stadium Company, Limited, the organization which is to operate an International League baseball club here, starting next spring. The syndicate, headed by George S#nllings, has already se- cured the Jersey City franchise and club for this city. The original plans of thie 'promoters called for a park on Masson ad Iberville Streets, but this scheme was dropped in favor CANADIENS PLAN TRADES Montreal, Oct. 15.--Canadiens are likely to have other new play- ers on their roster within the next few days if the plans of Leo Dan- durand and Manager Cecil Hart ma- terialize.

Then why has the Committee de- parted from these principles in re- spect to fooiball? Tt is probably, explained - in the fact that last year at the meeting of the Inifernational Federation of Football, held in Rome, that body decided that "'ama- teur players may receive payment for lost time as may be decided up- on by the national association gov- erning the sport, subject to the up- proval of the Federation," a condi- tion which prevails in several con- tinental centres, but which is strong. ly disapproved of in British 1ovt- ball circlgf. Wot only are these players on the continent paid for loss of time for playing, but for time also while training. We find, therefore, that the Olym- pic Committee is in the unhappy po- sition of having decreed the status of an amateur on Olympic ocecasivas and in the same breath having agreed to accept the interpretation of an amateur as construed by the Federations; and, furthermore, it has 'beén suggested that the reven. ue derived from the football com- petition at the Olympic games may have had considerable influence on the attitude taken by the Commit- tee, It was in support of rigid ama- teur principles that the Football Association in England some years ago withdrew from the ° Olympic games, The Olympic Committee as a result decided to ban such pay- ments for loss of time for train- = Winterfront Users PROTECT thei: motors against the destroying influence of cold with Au- tomatic motor proteetion.

Football Feder- ing and playing But now comes another switch. and from all appear- ances, unless the deeision is with-- drawn by the Olympic Committee, English football players will be noticeable only by their absence. This latest bombshell will doubt- less form one of the settings for the forthcoming annual meeting of the Amateur Athletic Union of Canada, but, in the opinion of the writer, in the final analysis, the International Amateur Athletic Fed- eration will be the deciding , factor as to whether Canada participates in the Olympic games. At this stage it would appear as though the cream of athletic lalent in this country will next year be over at Amsterdam, but that they will not be found in competition with any members of the: International Olym- nic Football Federation, unless the International Olympic Committee re- cedes from its recent action. One thing seems certain; no athletes holding membership in the A.A.U. 'of C. or any other affiliation of the I..A.A.F. will be allowed the privi- lege of receiving pay in lieu of loss of time from work. At a meeting of the Council of the International Amateur Athletic Federation, held at Amsterdam, the President urged that consideration be given to the question of the po- sition of athletes living in "foreign" countries, The issue not being gov- erned by the by-laws, the Presi. dent had taken the position of an athlete living for more than one 'month in a "foreign" country should be under the same laws as the ath- letes in the country itself. The rul- ing was accepted by the Council, subject to further study and rey port by the secretary. The President called attention to the fact that certain sporting clubs, when they allow their athletes to compete at international meetings, request not only travelling expen- ges for the athletes in question, but ulsg certain sums as "start money," or a certain part of the income of the meet, The Council agreed on the principle that so-called start money or 'appearance money"' should be prohibited. The Coun- cil also debated the decision of the International Olympic Commit- tee that 'under certain conditions football players receiving payment for broken time may be permittea to take part in the Olympic gauies of Amsterdam in 1928." The Coun- cil went on record as regretting the decision and "desires to call the pttention of the athletes of the world to the fact that in accondance wit hihe amateur rules of the In- ternational Amateur Athletic Fea- eration. any person receiving pay- ment for broken time, in any sport, is debarred from participation 'in evenis under the jurisdiction of the LA.AF." .

This game starts at 1.30 o'clock. At 3 o'clock, the Oshawa City Foot- ball squad meets the Goodyears in the first game of the play off for the First Division echampjonship. Later around four o'clock the Osh- awa Motors team is playing Willys' in a Provincial fixture. All three local teams are in fine condition and three victories are looked forward to. . The Oshawa Collegiate rugby- ists are away at Cobourg. That the Oshawd Chevs. should win from the St. Thomas team is evident in that they have no: lost a game this year and that is over the twenty mark already. Tae visitors on the other hand are also in fine ocndition and have a similar record of not haivng lost any of this season's clashes. A sweet bat- tle is assured. Oshawa City Football Club had its final workout Thursday night and all the players reported in fine condition, That the local team went through its season so successivery is a source of gratification to local soccer fans. The team selectea 1s the strongest that has been fieldea this season and local officials are taking no chances in letting Good- year put anything over. They are sure to ficld a strong team, thus as- suring keen competition. A large following is expected up from the Queen City to boost for the visitors. The team selected is as follows: goal, W. Mitthell; right back, W. Connors; left back, H. Lappers; right half, G. Reid; centde half, G. Ramage; left half, J. Muir; out. side right, E. Dunstall; inside right. G. Simpson; centre forward, F.

It is now felt that after a relapse of several years, that the popular game should be revived and Oshawa put on the cage map again, ; At the present time indications are that there will not be any girls' sport until the softball season opens again next summer. This is not as it should be, and there is no reason whatever why a Girls' League could not be operated in an organization known possibly as the Oshawa Basketball Association. With four gyms in this eity, something that many other cities and towns have not even got one of the girls' game should go over big. It is the opin- wounid take :'to the game quite will- ingly. The Motor City girls filled the Collegiate gym several years ago to the rafters when they won the In- termediate championship of Ontario. The writer is not positive, but he be- lieves London was the opposing team and on that occasidbn basketball made many friends in this city. No doubt many of the players on this team are still residing in the city and would assist in the promoting of the league. An exceptionally strong junior teem won the Central Ontario Basketball Association's title about six vears ago. Oshawa was represent- 1 in that league and while heavy = § # Adequate F acilities For Basketball League a y Has Become Popular in Osh- ion of several that the lady cagers | over-head expenses killed the game towards the last, the team made a hit at first and drew good crowds. No doubt many of these players and followers would support teams in the association if one were started. While it was mooted earlier in the year that the General Motors would build a recreation" hall in which there would be one of the province's . best floors, suitably adapted to basketball and other in- door games, it is understood that this project will not be undertaken this year. There is, however, possi- bilities 'that another year or SO might see the scheme through. In speaking to the Daily Times in connection with the basketball league, Fred Hardman, formerly a Y.M.C.A. man and who has taken a keen interest in sporting activities, especially in this city, stated he be- lieves there is plenty of room for a basketball league in this city, and that he would do anything possible to assist, providing a movement was started. In regard to possible entries in a league the General Motors could be counted upon, while it is practically certain that Oshawa Collegiate would enter a team. St. Andrew's church, which, by the way, now possesses a modern new gymnasium, | cone in connection with the re- cent addition to the edifice, would, no doubt, also enter a team as there is plenty of material from the young- er members of the congregation available. In connection with St. Andrew's, it is possible that a girls' team could be formed from that congregation to start the girls' league going. With three male teams practically assured there should be little difficulty getting a fourth team lined up and in this connectiébn the Ontario Regiment has been suggested. This is the proper time for any action to be taken and in order that leagues may be gotten under way. interested parties should call a gathering as soon as possible to see if there is enough interest evinced. FAN GETS DAMAGES Portland, Ore., Oct. 15.--A epec- tator at a baseball game seated in an unprotected part of the grand stand ean recover damages when hit by a foul ball, a jury decided here vesterday in awarding George Cur- tis £3,000 for a broken nose. The judgment was against the Portland club of the Coast League, which contended unsuccessfully | that the fan assumes the risk. Suggestions are in the air already 6f probable groupings of local district hockey teams. One fan has advanced the suggestion that there is a strong possibility ef Peterboro, Bowmanville, Whitby and Port Hope being inéludéd in one intermediate Ontario Hockey Association grouping. This hardly seems reasonable for where would Oshawa come in? Certainly the teams from the smaller centres would nog miss the annual trip to this city for their tussels. While it is quite true that the Motor City teams have been 'running away" with the group honors for the past few years, the majority of the other towns in the local group will admit that it has been a mighty good team that went in and represented the grouping. + eid If Oshawa intermediates were to be grouped in another section it would mean heavy travelling expenses. The possible grouping would be with Uxbridge, Lindsay, Port Perry and others. The interest in a grouping of this nature would not be half as keen as it is with the present section. I is doubtful if the 0. H. A. when it came to alloting the respective groupings would id the ggestion that Whitby, Bowmanville, Peterboro and Port Hope teams be clamp- ed together. On the other hand, consider the heavy travelling ex- penses that the smaller teams in the proposed grouping would be put to in journeying away up to Peterboro. They would be operat- ing at a deficit. : The Whitby Gazette and Chronicle in its editorial columns has this to say in regard to the inter-school athletic meet that took place in Oshawa this week. "The fact that the athletic meet between Whitby, Oshawa and Bowmanville High Schools, has to be held in Oshawa because of the bad condition of the track at the local town park, should lead the Town Council of 1928 to take some action towards eliminating this very undesirable state of affairs. It has frequently been pointed out in these columns that to put this track in shape would cost very little money. The money which the town might expend in this, direction, however, would be wasted unless steps were taken to prevent motorists from driving over the track. Late this summer the northern entrance to the park was closed to motorists, but action came too late to be of any benefit so far as im- proving the track is concerned. Another year this is a matter which might well be taken up by the streets and property committees early in the season befoe the estimates are struck. Whitby should have a first class athletic field, not only for the benefit of its own youth but as an attraction for outsiders. There is no good reason why an ath- letic meet which ought to be staged in Whitby should be taken to Osh- awa, or any other place, for that matter." Belleville's hockey prospects appear to be just as bright as in former years and the Maroons will make a strong bid for the Big Six O.H.A. Group, which was won by Cornwall last year. Bosan, the goalie, is sure to be here again, and Frank Goyer and Bill Green are likely to join up on the defence. Gilly Goyer is slated for the centre position with Hagerman and Whalen for the wings. Jack Rooney, who covered himself with glory in the game with Cornwall in the Factory Town, will be out again and will make some of the regulars step. Besides these Weir may be enticed back into the fold, and it is reported that some new material has drifted into town since the 'be realized for 1927 by the Madigon snow disappeared. Oshawa's prospects for the goal position of the Intermediate O.H.A. team are particularly promising this winter as there are no less than three aspirants for the position. While the never-failing Dick Smith can feel assurred of his position, he nevertheless must have a substitute to assist him throughout the long grind. There are two for this latter position, namely whenever the regular Dick found Fletcher, who worked last year it necessary to leave the game. This latter action wasn't necessary, very often, but one can never tell when it will happen. Then there is city.

The fight between the two Canadian heavy weights was to settle the eligibility of either in Tex Rickard's quest for a | "logical contender" for the title. Delaney at 177 pounds conceded 19% pounds to his fellow Canadian and handed him a solid trouncing after be- ing on the floor for less time than it took to start a count in the second round. A solid right to the ear spilled the retired king of the light heavy- weights but he was not badly hurt and fought back viciously. * A vicious right uppercut, as Renault backed out of a clinch in the fourth round, caught the former Canadian Mounted Policeman squarely on the nose and started a flow of blood that continued for several rounds. The nose appeared to have been broken and was split badly along the ridge. Made a Target of Face From the second round through the fifth, Delaney made a target of Ren- ault's face with a stinging lefthook and jab that caught the Canadian repeated- ly as he stormed to close quarters for an attack on the Bridgeport warrior's ribs. Although Renault smashed both hands to the body with occasional tell- ing effect he could not match the score of Delaney. As the flow of blood from Renault's face diminished in the closing rounds, he redoubled his efforts to smash out a victory through Delaney's body. Jack was too clever, however, and the con- tinual clinching that followed Renault's style of attack brought rounds of whole-hearted booes from the 16,236 fans who paid $54,134 to see the con- test.
