When Old father 'ime gives way to the Babe tonight at midnight, the curtain on one of the best years sportdom of Oshawa has ever had will have dropped. Indications are that there will be a continu- ance of that good line into the ne vear. During 1927, one champion- shiy uae captured, The Oshawa City Football Club can claim that honor in that its team won the ribbons of the First Division of the Toronto and District Soccer League. This is the first ocea- sion upon which the great trophy comes to Oshawa, although nu- merous attempts at it have been made in recent years. The club was fittingly recognized by the City Council and it is altogether likely that the citizens in gen- eral will have the opportunity of congratulating the winners in the very near future. Oshawa's two hockey teams, the Intermediates and the Sham- rock Juniors are just commencing what promises to be one of the most successful campaigns in the history of their organization. The intermediates, last winter went into the semi finals and were nosed out by Jordan, while the Shamrocks also went quite a wav in the Ontario Hockey As- sociation play downs, The In- termediates have not felt the sting of the professional grabber a8 much as some other clubs throughout the country and for that very reason feel that they have the 1027-1928 intermedi- ate championship. The Sham- rocks ore composed of a compara- tively new team and so have shown up well, The. General Motors Baseball Club and Lacrosse Clubs, as stat- ed recently in these columns also enjoyed prosperous years and in- dications are that the New Year holds something even better in store for them. Tt looks, at the present time as though the Cen- tral Ontario Naseball League, de- funct for several years, will be re-orcanized and that the Motors hall team will operate under its Jurisdiction. Both the lacrosse and baseball teams have heen strenzthened for next summer's struggle; -- " The Oshawa ywling Club and the Oshawa Cricket Clubs, have likewise heen hlessed with a good year, competition in each organi- zation being exceptionally keen. Softhall was another sport that proved very attractive to many hundreds of fans who assembled at the various city parks night after night to wateh the games in all classes. The New Year will s2e as stronger and bettef lea- gue in operation in that a Major Softhall Teague has heen formed at the Geneval Motors which will tend to give the weaker teams a chance. , The Oshawa Curling Club is also entering a year that shows great promise.

The Canadians are schedul- ed to play Buffalo tonight. LAFRANCE TO CHICAGO Montreal, Dec. 31.--Leco Lafrance, sub centre and left-winger of the Canadiens, leaves today for Chicago to report to Barney Stanley's Black Hawks. The Canadien sul)s contract has heen taken over by the Chicago National Hockey League Club for the season.

The ice was soft, which prevented anything like a high-class exhibition of hoc- key and probably the Grads were the greater sufferers in this re- spect, as their speed was to a cer- tain exttnt nullified, In the second period Trottier, Gordon and Delahey donned Pem- broke uniforms, exchanging with three of the locals, and played for their home town against their team mates, Charlie Delahey accounted for two of the Grads' goals and also scored a pair while playing for Pembroke, Trottier tallied a trio, all of which counted for Grads, and "Red" Porter earned a pair. Grads' other goals fell to Ludgate and Carmody while playing in the Canadian champions' sweaters. Grads led by 3 to 1 in the first period, 7 to 8 at the end of the second, and 10 to 3 when the final whistle blew.

That applies to the Port Hope Hockey Club as well, for it is cer- eement that has arisen through that the other night when Oshawa In- termediates defeated the red and white to a white-washing of a 6 to 0 score, will be settled to the satisfaction of all concerned. That all that the respective clubs take in Port Hope management still maintains that the local club agreed to the game being an exhibition: contest prior to the actual starting of Therefore it is a matter of one management's word against another and the only way to settle the difficulties is for both teams to throw its cards on the O.H.A's table and accept the verdict in a sportsmanlike manner, Now that the New Year is rolling around, there are several things On several occasions it has been stated that an intermediate O.R.F.U. club is to be organized and that an artificial ice arena is to be built.

BELLEVILLE BEATS CORNWALL 3 TO 1 Belleville, Dec. 31.--On water- covered ice, Belleville won the first game of their group, Thurs- day night when .they defeated Cornwall by a score of 3-1. The period scores were: 0-0, 3-0. Both teams showed lack of condition, but the local sextet exhibited the better staying qualities.

We hear lots in these days of come backs in various sports, but here is a bit of information from an Australian source.

Some weeks ago this club were down to play in the senior final of the Sydney Cup. Their op- | Judge Corey, ponents, who had home advantage { played on a ground 16 miles from Sydney.

Eventually Howden, who is now over 50, said: "I used to play in that position, I'll turn out and chance it." Turn out he did, with his son playing inside left. The Calys won'3-0. And Jock Howden scored all three goals. How's that for a come back? It is interesting to note that Willie Howden, a brother of Jock's, is at present in Oshawa. er.

Following closely on their cap- ture, Hugh Davey, Reading's In- ternational, Portsmouth made an- other big bargain in securing Jim- my McWhirr the Merthyr forward. McWhirr has been one of the most consistent goal scorers this seas- on. He joined the Welsh Club last summer, after spending a season with Norwich, George Haslam, the cx-Manches- ter United centre half, has quickly won the favorable opinion of the Portsmouth crowd, and his new club paid him .a nice compliment in appointing him captain of the team. An outsize in caps is not always a good idea for goalkeepers. Cli- mie of Kilmarnock, was stooping down to pick up a ball, when his cap slipped over his eyes. The next he knew was that the ball was in the net. Smithy please note. There fs little chance of Alf. Brown, the inside left who was se- cured from Greenock Morton last January, being available for New castle United in the meantime. All's health has not improved to the extent that was hoped, and I hear that he bas returned to his home in Glasgow. He is still New- castle's player, however, if he is able to return to the game. 1 | Grounds for Protest and De- fence Filed With Secre- tary W. A. Hewitt--Hop- ers Claim Fixture Here Was Merely an Exhibition Game The hockey war goes merrily on. Intentions of the Oshawa In; termediate Hockey Club are to fight the protest against its win here last Wednesday to the last ditch. Affidavits have been taken out by those concerned and will be forwarded to Secretary Hewitt of the O.H.A. at once. Information from the local man- agement is to the effect that the Port: Hope Club claims that its players, realizing that the game was an exhibition contest, skat- ed over to thé boards instead of indulging in their usual workout prior to the game. That is all wrong and every fan in the rink will agree with the locals that the Ontarios took part in as much, and if not more, pre- game workout, than did the Osh- awa club, Further, the Oshawa manage- ment alleges that those in charge of the Port Hope team hold ref- eree Herb, Matthews that if he did not call the league game off and order the game as an exhibi- tion fixture that the Port Hope team would be taken off the ice, Imagine the sportsmanlike atti- tude, with , crowd estimated to be in th® neighborhood of 900 fans. The Port Hope club further claims that the attendance was poor and uses this in its argu- ment that the game was an ex- hibition contest. That crowd of people that went to the game the other night was far from a "hand- full" and considering the fact that it was raining, although the ice was in a fair condition, was ex- ceptionally good, and the visiting club had nothing to kick about in this respect. Manager Lowe announced this morning that he will issue a state- ment for publication on Tuesday. GAMES IN BIG FOUR Toronto, Dec. 31--University of Toronto and Marlboros were the winning teams in two close games in the Big Four junior group at Arena The Collegians, though outplayed for a good bit of the, time by the speedy Toronto Canoe Club youngsters managed to emerge victorious by a score of 3 to 2. Marlboros were given a stiff ar- gument by Parkdale Canoe Club, and they kept their undefeated group record intact by coming out on the right end of a 4 to 2 score. OBNOXIOUS LIQUOR FUMES DRIVE JUDGE OUT OF COURT Winnireg, Dee. 30---Obnoxious liquor fumes from a bottle of lig- wor being used as evidence in a liquor cose here today caused lawyers, witnesses and attaches of the court to beat a hasty retreat from the court- room. The botttle which caused the "gas attack" had been corked and sealed since June. The ligror ir the bottle was stated to be a home-brew mix- tture. The Judge reserved his opinion on the case after it had been com- pleted in another courtroom. ART PICTURES UNDER GUARD ' Copenhagen, Dee, 30--A unique art exhibition will be opened fin April.

SIEBERT IGNORANT OF 'WARRANT' TALK Maroon Player Bick in Montreal Until Suspen- sion Lifted 3 Windsor, Ont, Dec. 31-Eddie Gerard, manager of the Montreal Maroons, who are in Detroit today resting up for their game with the Cougars tonight, had no word this morning that a warrant had been issued charging Babe Siebert with assault. ! Siebert is not with the club. He spent Christmas at Kitchener, and erard, upon being advised that the layer had been suspended, ordered PA to return to Montreal and keep in shape there. The report evidently comes ol of the Siebert-Boucher tiff in Mont on Christmas Eve, for which both layers were fined. President Calder ater suspended the Maroon star, But if a warrant has been issued it would be served in Montreal, for Siebert ig there now. ~-- Babe Sicbert, the Maroon hockey ist, was reached at the Forum this afternoon over the telephone by The Star interviewer, who was connected with the Montreal Maroons dressin| room by the operator at the west en rink. Asked if he had been served with a warrant the local ice star dis- played evident surprise in his voice which carried over the wires. "What did I do to be arrested any more than him," meaning, of course, Billy Boucher, of the New York Ameri: cans. "He attacked me first," stated Siebert in reply, "I haven't heard a thing about it," was his. closing res mark.
