It was before a crowd such as has very seldom been seen before at Alex- andra Park that Oshawa's senior 0.A.L.A, entry defeated Brampton by a 4 to 0 score in the first of the home and home series with goals to count, for the championship of On- tario, A more thrilling game has seldom if ever before been seen in |p Oshawa and the affair was fittingly climaxed with the local team scoring three of their four goals when the excitement was at its height, in the last of four hectic quarters, * "The frst goal was scored after about five minutes of play in the first period and after that, until the sensational scoring barrage in the last period, both teams played a ' brand of lacrosse which was so even- ly matched that even one man put off for a penalty made a vast differ ence in the play, Time and again the attack shifted from one defence to the other with nothing to choose between the two teams but at the last, Oshawa took the upper hand and while over 2,000 fans cheered madly, the General Motors twelve slipped in three goals to give them a decidedly impressive "four goal margin to carry with them when they journey to the home of the Ex- celsiors next Saturday afternoon, To beat Oshawa for the much covy- eted Ontario trophy, the Brampton. ites must defeat the stellar green and white performers by a five goal margin in order to lay claim to the silverware, but with Oshawa playing the brand of lacrosse they showed here two days ago, Brampton will have to play lacrosse as they never have before. Oshawa Score in First Saturday's affair opened with Jack Walsh taking the check off for Osh- awa and starting an early attack on the Brampton net, Although the Excelsiors recovered nicely, another drive was made a moment later and the Motor City lads thereupon almost * metted their first goal when Bob Stephenson took a wicked shot from close in but hit Large on the body. Still forcing the play, Jack Walsh on a pass from Chuck Davidson re- peated Bob Stephenson's luck of coming close but with Large play- ing as he was, it soon became evident that no ordinary shot would result in a. goal, With Oshawa at this stage contin- ually forcing the play, a score seem- ed almost inevitable but for nearly ten minutes an unsuccessful drive was made on the Brampton defence without any result. At last how- ever, Teddy Reeve and Norve Hub- bell combined to send the ball to Mel Whyte, who circled the net and passed out to Toots White in front where a scramble followed in which Toots batted the ball along the ground into the twine for a sensa- tional twine for a sensational goal. Two minutes later Large again stopped an almost unbeatable shot from Bob Stephenson to prevent a farther advance in the score while 2 minute before the period ended, Toots White missed a scorching shot, thanks to Larhe's good eye. No Score in Second Oshawa took up the attack where they left off in the previous stanza, to start the second period on its way but Brampton wasn't long at this stage in evidencing a much greater aggressive than they showed at the first of the game. Although play ' centred for the most of the time around the Brampton net, several dangerous trips were made to the nicel 4 Rush after rush was made by Osh- in the last) -- Return White, , Reeve and in Last and One in| awa nets and for several minutes Shannon Spencer, Teddy Reeve and Shepley, however, to say nothing of Shannon, the Ex- celsiors were given no easy time of it and the od ended with them still no er ahead in the score. Then came the climax of the game Oshawa Scores Three when Oshawa, playing a marvelous combination scored three goals to put them four ahead when the game closed. The period opened however with Brampton giving Shannon some work to do and in the pressure around the net, Mooney Gibson tap- ped Shepley none too lightly on the head, for which he was sent off for a five minute rest. While Gibson was off the fun be- gan, Oshawa immediately made a fast breaking drive up the field with Kelley Degray starting the play. Teddy Reeve finally got hold of the ball and drawing the defence out to meet him, he passed to Shepley who was about thirty feet out where a beautiful shot from the latter com- pletely fooled Large and resulted in Oshawa's second goal of the game. The play was well executed and Same after about eight minutes of ay, With this goal spurring them on to further success, Oshawa continued to hammer the Brampton defence, excellent passing and smart individ- ual work being in evidence at all times, Soon after the check-off, Kel- ley Degray again popped up with the ball after an argument behind the Brampton net and this time passing to Teddy Reeve, Teddy himself notched a goal on a fast, low shot on which Large didn't have a chance, With the goal-getting rampage continuing, Chuck Davidson started the advance for the fourth counter, he carrying the ball up the field and passing to Toots White in front of the net, Although surrounded by players, Toots hung onto the ball, and after some dodging passed across the field to Smithson who made the last score of the game, one minute before the bell sounded for the end of the game, Smithson had a prae- tically open shot, thanks to Toots White's excellent work, and this again was a shot which gave the Brampton net guardian very little chance, Although the entire Oshawa team played exceptionally on Saturday, Smithson and Shepley showed up particularly well, Both these boys were in the thick of the battle es- pecially in the defending area, all the time and broke up many danger- ous attacks. Teddy Reeve, as ever the mainspring of the Oshawa mech- anism, turned in another of his re- liable and brilliant games on Satur- day, while in the forward division, Kelley Degray, Chuck Davidson, Bob Stephenson and Toots White were as ever dangerous and quick thinking customers to handle, Beatty, Sproule and Large were the outstanding players on the Brampton line-up, Large especially because of the innumerable stops he made of almost impossible shots, The return game up in Brampton next Saturday should draw another record crowd, among which should be a goodly representation from the Motor City, The four goal lead at present looks good to the support- ers of the local team and with an Ontario championship in sight, local followers will be anxious to see this closing game of a successful season.

REVIVE RUGBY INTEREST Belleville, Sept. 30.--Interest in the Bay of Quinte Interscholastic Rugby Football League was reviy- ed on Saturday afternoon, when the Belleville Collegiate and Al- bert College teams met in thef fret game of the season. In the pres- ence of a large number of sup- porters of both teams, the game was played on Albert College cam- pus. that meither team bad much practice, they put up a good game and were evenly matched. In the first half of the game, Alberts had two rouges to one for the Collegiate. In the see- ond half both teams scored a touch- down, the final score being 7 to 6 in favor of Albert College.

In the last half, Campbell and Cooper added to the pick-ups' score to give them a comfortable margin when the game ended although Te- cumsehs pressed hard all the way.

The Cards defeated Boston 3 to 1, Fred Frankhouse and Carol Hubbell each allowed only six blows, but two of the New York hits were home runs by Bob O'Farrell and Frank O'Doul, Each team started with its regular line-up, but several substitutes finally entered the game, The Giants alowed the gateway to the pennant to be closed against them Saturday and did nothing to prevent it. There was a slim, slight chance for them to come to a tie with the St, Louis Cardinals if they won Sat- urday, and then repeated today, but they gummed all that by slip-shod fielding and inefficient hitting. They played a mid-summer game of ball one of the kind which are tossed away unthinkingly, when they should have been on their toes and hustling every minute, But as it turned out when the Cardinals won in Boston it did not Tecumsehs Sturgess Davis Dove Luke Armitage Cook Oke Montgomery Shortt Higgins I | matter whether the Giants won or In Jost.

Play was of a high order throughout, the Co- bourg youths displaying a much stronger line up than in previous years, while a sensational last miu- ute rally on their part came near making it a much closer score than expected, in fact had not Oshawa not shown some fine defensive work in the last five minutes of play, the verdict may have been reversed, so evenly matched were the two teams. Oshawa's ten points were scor- ed on two rouges, a drop kick and a touchdown by *'Stew'" Carver, the latter especially being well earned, while Cobourg's counter came with three minutes to go in the last period, Although considerably weakened by the loss of a large punrber of last year's stars, the team this year shapes up well, with both plenty of speed and weight to carry them along to another prospective district championship. Bert Corn- wall and Red Evans on the half line shaped up well yesterday while Carver at quarter had the team pivoting around him to perfection, The flying wings, Ed Crothers and Don Davidson had plenty of work to do and seemed to thrive on it, while the outsides, Daniels of the year and the Giants are the second place club. It has been a matter of comment for four years that there is no use crying over spilt milk, but at least ten of the games the Giants lost this season might haye been , turned there been the slightest idea that the Giants as con- stituted could come close to a pen- nant, PETERBORO SENIORS '» BEAT LINDSAY 17-0 Peterboro, Sept. 30.--Peterboro Collegiate sepiors defeated Lindsay here Saturday in the first game of the series of the Central Ontario Interscholastic rugby schedule, 17 to 0.

Er- rors which usually would have been easy put outs creeped into the game on Saturday but despite this the record breaking crowd which turned out went away well gatis- fied in seeing the home team carry off the victory. That the Oshawa girls will make a better showing in their home city however, is already assured since their occasional flashes of smart play and hard hitting was sufficient to convince the fans that the 21 to 6 score was by no means a real indication of the respective merits of the two teams, The Rinkey Dinks opened with a run in the first inning and con- tinued to advance their total in every inning except the fourth, sn thoroughly did they take advan- tage of every opportunity which was offered them. Following the one in the first, a quartette went across in the second, another one in the third, five in the fifth, one in the sixth, four in the seventh and five in the eighth, making a bat in their last half of the ninth entirely unnecessary, Making a feeble attempt to stage a recovery to their normal selves, Chevs counted one in the fourth, two in the seventh, two in the 8th, and one in the ninth for their to- tal of six. Hazel Holmes, however, was the outstanding hitter of the game, ac- counting for four hits in four trips to the plate and having a good sized finger In the majority of the visiting team's runs. Edith Elliott also had a good day of it with three safe clouts while Flora Larden and Vivian Wilson of the Rinkey Dinks led their team with a trio of safeties apiece. Tht return game in Oshawa is expected to be an entirely diffee- ent affair and although the Rinkey Dinks are a well balanced, hard hitting team which can be depend- ed upon at all times, they will make the journey to the Motor City none too confident of repeating their de- cisive vietory which they hung up here on Saturday, North Bay 141 051 450-21 13 § Oshawa 000 100 221-6 10 8 Batterles--North Bay, Fellman and Wilson; Oshawa, V.

Incident- ally the score at the end of the struggle was 13 to 65 in favor of the Beachers, who scored a try in each of the first and last quarters, a rouge in the second and a rouge and a kick to the deadline in the third, while the visitors' sole reply was & touchdown in the lecond quarter, So much for the score. Now for the questions. The first was "How do Balmy Beach compare with ths team that won the title last Fall at Varsity Stadium by defeating the highly-touted Hamilton Tigers?" and "How do the Panthers shape up as possible contenders for the senfor O.R.F.U. title?" Ope swal- low does not make a Summer nor does one exhibition game make mp a rugby season, so the answers to that | the questions, as reached as a re- sult of Saturday's game, may bef completely reversed before the lea- gue season is much more than half- way over, but judging from the play on Saturday Balmy Beach does pot look so strong and the Pan- thers will probably prove strong opponents for any of the other kbs, either fn their group or the nion, ) OFFICERS ELECTED MAJOR FIVE BOWLING LEAGUE A meeting of the Major city Five Pin League was held in The Times office Friday to arrange for this season's activities. utficers for the ensuing year were elected and are as follows: President, Mr, H, Smith of the Fittings, Ltd.; Vice President, Mr. O.
