PAGE EIGH1 THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1928 EMI-ANNUAL C.O.BL. MEETING HELD YESTERDAY IN BELLEVILLE Plans Broached For Next Year at C.0.B.L. Delegates' Meeting Which Sees Eight Team Loop Suggested) for 1929 While Club for Each Team Reports In conjunction with the official reception to the tional baseball team, baseball champions of Ontario, the semi-annual meeting of the Central Ontario Baseball League was 'held in Belleville yesterday. Matters of importance were discussed business for the past season was brought to a close, The meeting was an enthusiastic one and was presided over by the President of the League, H, T. Mc- Fadden of Peterboro. Harold Luke and Kenneth Donovan were present to represent Oshawa while P, E. Mc- Nally and George Hemphill repre- sented Deloro, and Walter Gerow, Belleville. Peterboro except for the presence of the President, was not represented, neither was Kingston who dropped out of the league about the middle of August. It was decided as one of the first matters of business that the annual meeting of the League would 'he held in Deloro on the third Satur- day of November which would: be November 17. At that time the new officers of the League would be elec- ted and the constitution for the 1929 season would be drafted, George Griffin and Newton Thompson were appointed as a committee to attend to the matter of forming a new con- stitution, which was to be completed in time for the annual meeting. The secretary's report yesterday was a good one. It showed that not a single protest had been lodged dur- ing the year and that from a playing standpoint the season was an abso- lute success. The treasuger's re- port, which was heard next, showed the season to have been a sound financial one although there was hy no means an exceptionally healthy surplus on hand at present, To make up for Kingston's with- drawal from the League, it was sug- gested that one team be agked to en- ter the League and if possible, three, in order to make the loop an eight team league. This brings to mind the eight team loop which was in operation under the Central Ontario colours some years ago when Osh- awa, Bowmanville, Lindsay, Peter- bare, Cobourg, Port Hope, Belleville and Leaside were all powerful con- testants, All the delegates present yester- day were in favour of operating a Junior club, the idea to work some- thing similar to a junior team as- sociated with a senior lacrosse elub which is the common practice in O.A.LA, circles, A junior baseball loop in Central Ontario it was agreed, should be a success as well as proving a valuable fleld from which the senior clubs could draw their future material. Judging hy the seriousness with which this mat- ter was discussed, it seems almost R certainty that a Junior Central | Ontario Baseball League will' formed next year. be KILLED MAN "FOR A THRILL " THREE SENTENCED FOR LIFE Pittsburg, Oct. 13--Confessing- that they robbed and killed "for a thrill," three young men of Pittsburg were sentenced to serve life terms in the penitentiary by Judge James H.

Cardinals Given $1,700 Less Than Yanks For Series Chicago, Ills, Oct. 12--The St. Louis Cardinals received in cash what they failed to get in base hits today when Baseball Commissioner Kene- saw Mountain Landis mailed out the losers' slice of the world series melon in the form of thirty-three checks totalling $117,526.25, Twenty-six of the Cardinals figured in the slice, which was $1,700 less than received by the individual vic- torious New York Yankees. Two shares were divided among players who joined the team late in the sea- son and officials of the club, Even the clubhouse and bat boys were not forgotten, $450 being divided amongst the three employees.

BANKRUPT STOCK SALE Must be Sold at Once 79 Simcoe St. N. ~ Still the most for the money~ Walter Johnson Possible Pilot For Washington Washington, Oct. 12.--Walter Johnson, for many years the idol of Washington baseball fans, is ex- pected to return to manage the American League team, for which he pitched for 21 seasons. While negotiations were not complete, Clark Grifith, president of the Washington club, said that he and Johnson had talked over the matter, and that if the New- ark club, of the International Lea- gue, which Johnson managed last year, would release him he would sign him. At the same time, Paul Block, owner of the Newark club, of the International League, said that he would mot stand in the way of Johnson coming to Washington. If Johnson is taken on to pilot the Senators, he will succeed Stan- ley Harris, who in the past five years led the Washington team to one world series victory and two American League pennants. Har- rls was relieved as manager by Griffith two weeks ago when a 3- year contract expired. Johnson took over the Newark club at the beginning of last sga- son. He was ill much of the time during which the team was train- ent winner. There is much senti- ment in Washington for him, how- ever, and a determined effort has been made by some of his friends to have him return to the only major league club for which he has ever worked, PERCY WYER FOURTH IN NEW YORK RUN Port Chester, N.Y., Oct. 12.--Al- bert Janvrin, running under the New York University colors, won the fourth annual marathon from New York to this city Friday after- noon, his time being 2 hours 57 minutes, 37 seconds.

The lacrosse team, winners of the senior lacrosse championship of Ontario, is playing its last game of the season out of town. by team, winners of nothing except their one and only game played thus far, is playing its opening game of the season here in O: Between this closing game of the season and the opening game, the rugby team seems to be getting slightly the better of the favoritism. In all probability the fans are saving w for the return lacrosse game of the series to_be played here on Wednesday, y This is no unimportant series the senior lacrosse team is playing. In the first place it will show how Intermediate lacrosse shapes up with senior while in the second place, the winners can lay claim: to the championship of Ontario without any argument whatever, not even from the lower leagues. The Buffalo Falls Roofing aggregation has nothing to lose, except per- haps a couple hundred dollars, and everything to win in a moral sense. If they can trim Oshawa, and they will be out to do it from the drop the top of lacrosse in this province-- On the other hand, if Oshawa wins, it will be more glory to add to their already splendid array of achievements, ; Oshawa isn't treating this game in any light manner either. They realize what it will mean if Buffalo beats them and accordingly are going out to play the same brand of lacrosse which won them the championship. The score of the game by quarters will be telegraphed to The Times! Believe it or mot, we received over 500 calls in our office here last Saturday enquiring the result of the Brampton-Oshawa game. The phones started buzAng about 2.30--although the game started at 3--and continued If Oshawa Collegiate seniors win their inter-scholastic rugby tilt with Peterboro Collegiate down in Peterboro this afternoon, nothing but an alto- gether unlooked for upset can stop the locals from the championship of the Peterboro was looked upon in interscholastic circles from the first as being the team to beat and if O.CL they have to do is tuck away Lindsay whom Peterboro defeated by a com- fortable margin, and Cobourg, with which team Oshawa has already played comes through in today's battle, all 0.C.I's junior team on the other hand, has a more difficult proposition ahead of them, They brush shoulders with Bowmanville down in Bow- manville this afternoon, and take it from us, they are going to get their baptism of fire and if they win, they can all put new feathers in their caps Bowmanville is one husky aggregation which will be able to step into senior Interscholastic rughy perhaps next year or at least two years from now, judging by the way they are taking hold of the game, The game down in Bowmanville will be followed with as much interest as that in Peterboro, because of its importance. 0.C.1's juniors have to win this game to keep in the race, The elements could have more considerate with the Intermediate rug- This rain we're getting today means a big difference not only to the game but to the crowd and conditions in general, R UGBY EXPLAINED by the Birdie ahead of him. \ Also don't go offside, For instance on an snapped. is as follows: SOME OF THE DON'TS FOR PLAYERS One big difference between Canadian and United States rugby is that y player is allowed to pass the ball forward in any shape or form, The only possible excep- tion is when he fumbles a ball and it rolls, In this case, the player whojor Indian commits the fumble, and he only of his side, can retrieve it, unless it be a kick from his op- ponents which he has blocked or fumbled, in which case any of his side along with himself may go after it, Therefore don't try throwing the ball ahead, the penalties are severe, The general definition according to the official rule book is: "A player is offside if the ball has been last touched by one of his own side behind him," There are, however, more loopholes in this rule than in the other. scrimmage, according to the rules, every player on the attacking side is offside immediately as soon as the quarter-back touches the ball, ever, unless he was ahead of the ball at the instant it was In this case his team loses one down or if it was third down, the team loses the ball. fending side gets over anxious to break up a play and gets behind the ball at the time it is snapped, his team is penalized ten yards unless the team happens to be less than 25 yards from their own goal when only half the distance between the place where the offence occurred and the goal line, is taken. An interesting feature of this rule, however, is that it definitely states in a special note that a team doesn't have to wait for their opponents to get into line before they may start a play. The note which occurs in the rule book, in full, "A team may put the ball into play without waiting for its opponents to get onside, In the case of a team making a quick scrimmage, the attacking side may not ¢laim a penalty for the offside against the players of the defending side who have not had reasonable time to get onside, but such players must remain out of the play until the ball is dead, nor may the defending side claim a penalty against themselves on such a play." in Canada no He is not penalized, how- If a player on the de- Shake-Up Seen For Cardinals Ere Next Year New York, Oct. 12-If the Cardin- also should be fortunate enough to face the Yanks in another world's series, which seems most unlikely, we have it on good authority that the personnel of the club will undergo a big change. Whether Bill McKechnie or Frank Snyder becomes the manager, plans are already made to put Frankie Frisch at third base regularly and draw two promising young players from Breadon's chain store system of minor league clubs to play second and shortstop, Maranville, according to informa- tion picked up in St. Louis, will be kept as the utility infielder, with The- venow going back to one of the big minor league clubs, provided waivers are secured on him. In the recent world series the Rab- bit stood out as a main cog of the Cardinal machine, and he so endeared himself to the fans and to the own- ers that there is little likelihood of his being sold down the river, des- pité the years that are piling up on his back. Members of the Yankee team are of the opinion that Andy High also will continue as a valuable man to St. Louis. He and Maranville put up the stiffest fight of any of the Car- dinals, & That the Yankees have no inten- tion of letting their team weaken by increasing age of a few of the Pay. ers is shown in the efforts of Hug- gins to build up a whole squad of ambitious youngsters. . During this world series he carried a complete set of extra infielders, all eager to jump in and have a hand in the fight. Gene Robertson came through nicely at third, and Durocher made some brilliant fielding plays during the few times that he got a chance. Mike Gazella also was on hand, Incidentally Gazella is one of the gamest ball players in the coun- try. His work practically saved the Yankees two years ago when they had such a close call at the finish, The pathetic figure of the Yanks was Herb Pennock, who sat around pursing his aching arms and fingers, while his team-mates fought their way to a new record, Some experts have expressed a fear that Pennock will never pitch again, That, however is most unlikely. He is gradually freeing himself of the neuritis and is on a strict diet in addition to the hpt ray treatment, GRAMPUS OBSERVED Sayward, B. C., Oct, 12--For the first time in a long period the gram- pus, or killer whale, has been ob- gerved in the inside waters of Bri- tish Columbia in large numbers. The killer is about 21 feet long and of tremendous speed and strength. He preys largely on porpoise and seals, One grampus will spread whole- sale death in a seal rookery and those observed in Johnstone Straits between Vancouver Island and the mainland, may have been raiding the sea lion and hair seal rooker- ies there. The grampus rapges the Pacifie, passes through the Arctic, east or tic and the rounds into the Pacific Ocean, He is always traveling and always killing.

Cosgrave Government Frames Omnibus Law Dublin, Oct, 12.--The Free State government is contemplating legis- lation to deal with the growing pro- blem of motor-ominbus traffic. At present the authorities have very little control over the road- transport, being forced to depend almost entirely on the Carriage Acts passed in the middle of the last century. The growth of the omnibus traffic has been very rapid during recent months, and the time has come when steps must be taken to regulate it. Accidents have oc- curred with alarming frequency and in several cases they have been due to mechanical defects which a pro- per system of inspection might have detected. The bill which the government ho to pass (into bo uo will provide for the reg- ular inspection of motor omnibuses by the police and for the regula- tion of speed. All drivers will be required to pass exbaustive tests before taking charge of omnibuses, and care will be taken to see that all motor vehicles which are used for public transport are mechanic- ally sound.
