IME USHA WA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 24, 1929 MAY 10TH. DATE SET FOR HOLDING | F UNUSUAL SPORT SMOKER | Combined Sport Provide Best in Entertainment Smoker Will 'Baseball-Lacrosse Teams of General Motors Unite in Efforts to . Promote Gig- antic Smoker for May 10th -- Auditorium Will be Used as the Seating Capacity Must Be Great With the paramount desire in nind of making 1929 the most srilliant year in Oshawa's history _ n sport, together with the assur- ince that the event will lend great ly to a send-off in the right direc- :ion, it has been decided as the re- sult of a meeting held last night in the General Relations Building of General Motors, that a combined baselyrll-lacrosse smoker be held on Friday, May 10, in General Mo- tors' Mary street auditorium. The fact alone that two hither- to separate and unrelated organiza- tions---(ieneral Motors senior la- crosse club and (Genara] Motors baseball club, have united in their efforts to promote the interests of the success of the coming season, bespeaks much of what ig held in store for those attending this pre- season get-together of friends and players alike, which is made pos- gible through the baseball-lacrosse smoker which is being arrangea. At the well attended meeting held last night, the decision was unanimous to spare no detail in making the evening one which will long be remgmbered by the local sport followers. Already definite plans have been drafted and the entire evening's entertainment is now practically arranged. Various committees, anticipating the deci sion to go ahead with the event, have now been working for some time securing the necessary person- nel whose calibre assure the suc- cess of an entertainment, while the popular city-wide interest in these two senior teams, should leave no- thing to be desired by way of a capacity attendance, As mentioned above, the entire purpose of the smoker and enter tainment is te renew and revive the popularity of the summer pastimes as is now fitting with the opening of the seasons just around the cor- ner, and, in addition, to make many 1ew friends among the sport lovers in Oshawa. Everyone is invited to attend, the limit to the invitation being restricted only to the number of tickets which are available, and the seating capacity of the auditor- ium. The cost of the tickets, oy the way, merely defray the ex- penses. The headlining feature of the smoker from the entertainment standpoint is a card of boxing bouts which, providing they are sanction- ed by the Amateur. Athletic Union of Canada, will guarantee more than a solid hour, full of thrills. It is also whispered that an attempt is being made to secure a wrestling bout--something new for Oshawa. These features, however, mere- ly form a part of what ig being planned for the big night, and fur- ther details will be made known as soon as they are definitely arrang- ed al THEE TOY I A With both baseball and lacrosse 'seasons commencing around May 24, a better time than May 10 could not have been chosen for this baseball-lacrosse smoker, by way of starting the ball rolling for what should prove to be one of the most highly successful seasons in locat sport. The committee in charge of the smoker which comprises Si Dell C. R. Mcintosh and W.

At the meeting the movement to play all the intermediates at the stadium was carried pending agreeable ar- rangements with the management of the Stadium. The juveniles and juniors will perform at Gowan Park leaving no chance of confusion.on the part of the ardent fan, The applications for paid um- pires and scorers were again con- gidered and there are still a num- ber of each needed to round out a full squad of arbitrators. The entry list now being com- pleted the league officials have promised to have a schedule drafted out for each series in the near future and will have it ready for publication the early part or next week. This schedule will have the date and the teams playing and the park in which the game will be played. In the intermediate se- ries with only six teams competing the probs are that fast softball will be played in each and every game as the number of smart play- ers in the city by fat exceeds the demand. TO STAGE BOUT Montreal, April 24.--The Mont- real Herald said yesterday that Jack Dempsey, former world's champion, now promoter of fistic events, associated with Humbert Fugazy of New York, may take a hand in the promotion of big fistic events in Montreal the coming summer. "Dempsey has been invitea rv attend the baseball opening next week," states the Herald. "It is the idea that the visit will give him a chance to cast an eye over the box- ing possibilities fn Montreal ana, as a matter of fact, there have been some informal negotiations between the baseball club ana Dempsey with a view to the latter setting in one of the big heavy- weight bouts in Montreal the coming summer." Dempsey Admits Offer New York, April 24.--"I am un- der contract to Humbert Fugazy, and therefore cannot participate in the promotion of fights for oth- er interests," said Jack Dempsey, former world's heavyweight boxing champion, here yesterday, when questioned regarding reports from Montreal that he might take a hand in the promotion of a heavy- weight bout in the Canadian met- ropolis this summer. Dempsey admitted that over tures had been made by Montreal promoters for his services in help- ing to promote - the bout, which would probably have Jack Renault, French-Canadian heavyweight, as one of the headliners. To Demp- sey there is Ittle chance of him becoming a party to it unless Fu- gazy joins in with the Montreai promoters. TO HOLD MEETING The Red Ace Softball Club will hold their weekly meeting to- night at the Y.M.CA. "Chuck" Mason, club manager, Bill Har- mer and C. Cannon, club as ants, will likely announce when the first practice is to take place.

The Keys rak- including a home run over the right field wall by Joe Kelly, and three doubles, to push five rung over the plate in the three innings.

ORIOLES AGAIN BEAT ROYALS Baltimore, Apr. 24.--The Orioles made a clean sweep over the Mont- real Royals in the two games of their series that survived the wea- ther by taking the final contest yesterday, 5 to 4.

DECIDED WIN FOR BISONS Newark, April 24.--Base hits rained all over the lot yesterday as the Buffalo Bisons massacred four Newark pitchers to gain a 20 to 6 verdict. The Herd collected a to- tal of 23 safe blows. including home runs by George Fisher and Bill Kelly, while Slicker Parks and Howard Signor held the Bears safe throughout. ed old slom motion for seven hits SPORT SNAPSHOTS 'With the weather giving the clubs the breaks it is at the present time it will not be before the games in the City and Industrial Softball League get started. The only real difficulty, so far seems to be the trouble in getting umpires and scorers to act at these softball games. Notices have appeared before asking that any wishing to umpire or act as scorers send their applications to the league secretal Both the scorer and the umpires will be paid by the league and this seem to be a chance for some fan that would in all probability be at the games anyway to make his attend- ance profitable to himself and to the league. The games in the three series will be confined to two parks, those be- ing Cowan's Park and the new statdium at Haley's Flats. The juniors and the juveniles will be the performers at Cowan's Park putting on their act possibly. three days a week while the intermediates play all their games at the stadium, Last night the entries in all series closed shutting out any thought that other teams may have had as to entering teams, There are rumors that there were two teams that considered playing in the intermediate series, but owing to length of time taken to consider the question, the league is now closed to all. Ample time was given any club that had seriously thought of entering a team, with extensions of time being granted, so the league officials made no mistake in closing the entries. Another big affair to be looked forward to, and, after its passing, back on, looms up on the sport horizon. This affair will be in the form of a smoker extraordinary to be held in the General Motors auditorium on Mary street, Although a smoker is not a rare form of amusement, the classes of entertainment being planned by the backers of the combined lacrosse and baseball smoker will be rare, indeed. Another thing that goes to make this an outstanding affair is the fact that it is being sponsored by two distinct and different sport clubs, both of which strive to hold the interest of the fan at the same all seasons of the year. This would prove beyond doubt the excellent spirit of harmony ex- isting between these two clubs. . At the present time the much talked of niodified forward pass is get ting a great deal of "play" in all parts of the country with reports of var- ious rugby clubs' opinions of this new ruling, Reports from the great open NATIONAL 31 HITS FEATURE CHICAGO-ST.

Goose Goslin's home run off Wal- berg with one on base in the first inning gave the Senators a lead that held good until Haas tied the score in the sixth with a homer, that came with none on base off Bump Hadley. BROWNS WIN BY LATE RALLY St. Louis, April 24.--Overcoming a five-run lead, the St. Louis Browns bunched hits in the later innings to chase two Detroit pit- chers and win the final game nf the series yesterday, 11 to 5.

George Munro Appointed Coach In addition to unanimously decid- ing to hold a baseball-lacrosse smo- ker in General Motors auditorium on May 10, General Motors senior la- crosse club at their executive meet- ing -last nigltt, re-appointed George Munroe to coach the team for the 1929 season, George's fine ability as a coach was much in evidence last year, when the team, playing its first year in senior company, came through with colors flying to win the Ontario championship,' With him' at the helm again this year and every indication at present of having pos- sibly an even better team than that of last year, prospects locally are indeed bright for another success- ful campaign, inning rally gave Cleveland a 5 to Sox and enabled the Indians to get YANKEES IN OPENER paces are to the effect that the Western Canada Intercollegiate Football Union will adopt the pass, while 1t is still unofficial it is nevertheless un- derstood that Queen's Varsity, Ottawa, Balmy Beach, Camp Borden, Kitch. ener, and Hamilton Tigers, all teams of which are represented in two un- ions will oppose the passing game, Letters have been received by many that arc ihterested in the General Motor Blue Devil Rugby Club, winners of the Intermediate O.R.F.U. and these same letters request that an answer with the opinion of the players be sent at an early date.
