fori Sporting World En ---------- a a OSHAWA, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, JULY 13, 1922 News -- ya etes Won rotested Game Belleville Fan Gets Interpreta- tion from J, P, Fitzgerald on Disputed Decision | I, P, Fitzgerald, sports editor of The Toronto Telegram, supports the contentions of the Peterjoro team re- garding the protested play in the Bel leville-Peterboro game on Wednesday of last week, In replying to a let- ter from a Belleville reader, he makes it very plain that Peterboro won the game, The letter and reply, which ap- peared in Monday evening's edition of The Telegram, follows: -- "8Sir,--In a game at Peterboro on Wednesday last, between Peterboro and Belleville Grand Trunk teams of the Central Ontario League, the fol- lowing play occurred: Peterboro was at bat, Two men were out, three balls on the batter and a man on second. The player on second started for third as the ball was delivered to the plate, The ball was wide, making the fourth ball on the batter, The catcher threw the ball to third to catch the runner, but the throw was low and it got away from the third baseman and rolled to the outfield. While this was happening the player going to first saw a chance to take second, and he did, Belleville first baseman claimed be did not touch first, and the ball was played there. Base umpire up- held the contention and the side was retired, As this made the third out the run was not allowed, as the play- or who had been walked was called out for pot going to first. Was the ruling of the umpire correct? The question arises, was player entitled to take first or should he be penalized when he tried to take advantage of the play. "A BELLEVILLE READER. "Answer,--A base on balls entitled the batter to first base without be- ing put out, and the umpire was wrong in declaring him out for not touching the bag. He cap return next week and do that if necessary. The play did not hinge on that pass, but was decided on the catcher's error. If the batter had been tagged out go- ing to second before the run crossed the plate that rum would not, of course, have counted." Zport Comment Harry Trew of Elizabethville, has attached his name to a Port Hope cer- agente and will likely be seen in the game with that town.

At the meeting of the Peterboro City Baseball League Monday evening Manager Harr T. McFadden of the C. G. BE, team made it plain that he did not feel justified in releasing any men from his team to play with the Cen- tral League aggregation, Manager McFadden, in supporting his argument, stated that when the money to finance the team was col- lected among the workers in the C, G. E. plant those workers were given to understand that the team was out to win the Ontario junior amateur championship, and he did not feel that he would be keeping faith with his supporters if he in any way weakened the team by releasing some of his strongest players, even if by so doing he could strengthen the senior team. He was strongly opposed, the con- tention being advanced that the C. G. E. team was much too strong for an intermediate league and could easily give up two players and still be strong enough to take the Ontario champion- ship. This caused the discussion of much past history regarding the form- er champions, and also brought the strength of the Belleville and Deseron- to teams to the fore, they being re- cognized as possible opponents for the C. G. E. in the championship series. A resolution was moved by BSecre- tary Loucks and seconded by Lewis LeBarr that "the executive of the C. G. E. team be asked to release one or two players to the Central Lea- gue team if the officials of the Cen- tral League asked for their release." The resolution was carried by four votes to three. This puts the mat- ter up to the executive of the team in question, but, as Manager McFad- den had already stated, his feelings on the subject were even milder than those of the other members of the committee but little results can be expected to come from the request. The resolution itself can only be taken as an expression of the opin- ion of the majority of the managers of the City League teams. It was pointed out in the debate that both the Raybestos and Y. M. C. A. teams had been weakened by the release of players on request of the Central League officials. Whattam's Rink Runners Up For Primary Race 4 L. Whattam's rink composed of A. Germond, F. Hobbs and J. Al} man were rumners-up in the primary competition of the annual tourna- ment of the Cobourg Lawn Bowling Club in Cobourg yesterday. Six Osh- awa rinks took part, the skips being J. L. Whattam, D. A. J. Swanson, Stan Young, George Southwell, C. W. Detenbeck and A. N. Ellis. Mr. Whattam was the most successful and lost the cup to Newman, of Kingston, in the final by two shots. He was pitted against some of the strongest rinks in the district, his first match being with Wray of Belle- ville, whom he defeated by 5 shots. The other Oshawa rinks entered the lation series and they are in Co- The Oshawa rinks were composed of the following bowlers: A. Walton, TD TH Plan Sports Day For Civic Holiday Extensive preparations are being made to hold a hig day of sports in Oshawa on Civic Holiday, and if pres- ent plans are successful, Oshawa's sporting public will not be obliged to go out of town to enjoy the holiday. Ostlers, one of the best amateur base- ball teams in the City of Toronto have agreed to visit Oshawa on that date for an exhibition with the Oshawa Central League team, while the Osh- awa football team will meet one of the strongest elevens in the second division of the T. and DFA, "Fhe Oshawa Football Club will meet Telfers on Saturday and the latter team are bringing a large crowd of supporters with them hoping to secure at least a draw with the league leaders. The Sons of England team, also in the same division, do not visit Oshawa until August 17 but they are already planning a big picnic for that date and more than two hundred tickets have been sold for the journey here even though the game is a month away. Much Tennis Is Being Played a re This Year With four tennis clubs actively en- gaged this summer, tennis enthusiasts in Oshawa have frequent opportun- ities of becoming experts in this popu- lar sport. Each club has arranged a schedule which keep the respective courts busy practically all the time out of business hours, and during the past week matches have been ar- ranged between three of the clubs for the coming week. Pedlars have issued a challenge to St. Gregorys and the East End players have also arranged to meet St. Gregorys. Last week twelve players of Pedlars| met and defeated an equal number | of players from the East End, win- ning 4 out of 7 games and tieing one. to Canadian audiences, from Ameri can singers, in a stirring rendition in unison of Canada's National Anthem, sung In fine voice, with animation, the song that is not too familiar in its own habitat, Play Greatly Enjoyed The play of the week was, 'Her Own Money" given in faultless man- ner by the Percival Vivian Players to a crowded tent Tuesday night. Should a man's wife receive half of her husband's income or any part of it, was the theme upon which this delightful comedy was based, The theme centres around the ups and downs of two married couples whose troubles have much to do with money, and is enacted for the main part in one of those audible New York flats where the remarks of one's neighbors are plainly heard at times, Mary and Lewis Alden are a young couple of the usual sort the husband who is struggling along to make his business a success and the wife one of the managing sort v ho contrives to save, through years of saving and scrimping, the sum of two thousand dolars to help buy the little home in the country that rhe has set her heart on, A sudden unfortunate busines deal of her hus- hand's which necessitates a quick loan of two thousand dollars leads her to induce her neighbor, Harvey Beecher, to take the money she has hanked and loan that sum to her husband, in his own name. The rea- son she advances to the audience for such round-about procedure is the fact that she might never get the money back from her husband, who would be sure, however, to re- pay the loan at once when made by a man. .The return transfer of the money, when the deal is finally put through, is observed through the window by Mr. Beecher's jealous wife, who immediately jumps to false conclusions, and creates a tre- mendous scene. The pride' of the young husband is aroused ,and he leaves his wife, after recriminations which include a vast amount of sur- prise at her unexpected disclosure of wealth, a good deal of fault-find- ing over the defeat involved in her saving up such a sum in secret, and a sentence in which he accuses her { of casting up her generosity towards him. *Just like a woman," when she replies, "It is just like 2 man to keep the money," referring to the five hundred dollars he had borrowed The games consisted of men's doubles and one set of singles. The East End | team will play the return game pos- sibly next week. Pedlars have been playing a tournament 'of mixed | doubles in their own club and some] fast players are being developed.

In addition to the interclub match | with Lawrence Park, visits have been | arranged to Aura Lee and Cobourg.! The membership of this club has grown rapidly and although plans to secure new courts this year were not | successful, a most enjoyable season | is being experienced. { Humblest (Continued from page 1) i teachers, betier schools, better equip- ment and better playgrounds, for the boy without a playground will be the man without a job in the future;"| the responsibility in particular of the rural school trustees, who "are too apt to think of the rural school as a| little house on a little piece of land, | where a little teacher at a little sal- TH gif ar "3 : NH from her at the time of their mar- riage, and always found it inconven- fent to repay.
