PAGE EIGHT -- Central League Opening . is Only a Thursday, May 24, will see the re- turn of Central Ontario Senior base- , ball in this neck of the woods after an absence of some years, and it surely will be good to sce the Old Giant of Senior ball on its feet a- in, stronger than ever, and entire- en. 3 And what a peppy League it is go- ing to be! All concerned have had strict instructions from President McFadyn that everything must be conducted in real bang up-to-date style,~the games must start right on the button, also the players are to get instructions from their various managers that smappy baseball is what the public wants to sce, and that it is up to the managers to see 'that the players make the games that way--no loafing around, or dawdling will be allowed to get by. That is the way it should be. Peterboro "Petes," last year's O.B. A.A. senior championship finalists, come to Oshawa on the holiday ai- "ternoon for the opening engagement here with the re-vamped General Motors team, and it looks as if it will be a red hot battle, as the "Big Sixes'" management feel that things will not be right until they take a fall out of the team that put them out of the running in the play-offs of last year, Manager Schultz and Coach "Stan" Burgoyne will not mention any names when pressed as to their pos- sible line-up for the opening contest, --all they say is--""Be on hand, it will be good," so Motors Board oi Strategy are apparently confident that they have the goods this' year, and their work-outs seem to look that way too, The "Petes" this year have done considerable re-building and will pre- sent a much strengthened.team, It is more than likely that their hurl- ing ace, "lTeff" Hardill, will get the assignment here in view of his suc- cesses of last year, He was reported to have refused a good contract from the Toronto Leafs last fal, Tommy !Tolyman is' managing the Petes this year, and the old "Al" Heckman, "Hap" Harrison, "Max" Swanston and "Shiner" Johnston Week Distant Board 'of Strategy will be right in behind Holymah "this year. The famous Kingston Ponies trot into Belleville on the holiday after- noon to take the lid off there, vou can bank on the wily old Joe Daly having a real club behind him when he starts out on the war path, "Bubs" Britton, short-stop sensation and hitsmith de Luxe, is lined up with the Ponies. Also Dame Rumar has it that Joe is pretty sure of "Red" Batstone, about whom the To- ronto papers have been painfully quiet of late. Red is a real third sacker. , ¢ The Kiwanis Club at Befleville, and the .whole city in general are right in behind their Club, and have dug up some new material which reports say is sensational. Manager Gerow is always able.to produce a real good team and right now he thinks he has a mighty good ene. The Oshawa General Motors team hops down to Kingston the following Saturday to give their best in the opener at Kingston, while Belleville will pop out to Pecterboro on Sat- urday and start the pot boiling in the "Liftlock City." The league will be pretty well started by then, Last but not least -- Deloro, and their "Smelters" Foxy old "Bob" Elliott figures that last year's inter» mediate championship finalists -- and a team of real senior calibre too, would be best served by having a few games away before opening at home, and he pulls the excuse about the playing field not being ready, so he too figures he has *the goods, Pretty good! - All said and done, all five clubs are apparently figuring on being in on the play-offs, so, fans, it looks like an evenly matched league, and lots of fun this summer up at old Alex- andra Park also a real come-back for Central League ball, A Chinese general has ordered that none of his soldiers marry un- til the war is over. He believes in one war at a time.--San Diego Union. 3 | Bic DAYS STARTING TOMORROW MAX DAVIDSON in--*Pass The Grayy" - sl, ig Screen Snapshots Paramount News SE---- § CHEVROLET OWNERS Reduce the Mechanical Upkeep Have a skilled craftsman service and check your Chevrolet regularly.

Little gossip is heard from the Peterboro camp about the team which will oppose Manager Schultz's clan in the 'opener, but it is an assured fact that the Lift- lockers will be no weak by such notables as Max egation particularly when they are' jheaded wanston, Al Heckman and "Hap" Harrison. Manager Schultz has given no indication as yet as to the probable line of the local C.O.B.L. team for the opener against the Petes and will likely withhold all information until just before the big day. The infield and the hurlers too, are going great guns. Fans who have been watching the senior O.A.LA, team in action up at thé park are more enthused than ever over what the coming sea- son is expected to bring forth, Such teams as Brampton, Weston, To- rontos and other old senior clubs will have something to reckon with in the Motor City's representatives this year. Oshawa's first year in the senior series should be a banner one.

Votes of thanks were passed to the coaches and others who had helped greatly during the -past year.
