- . \ 'PAGE EICHT THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, MAY 31, 1929 FIRST LACROS! E GAME BRINGS TORONTOS TO LOCAL FIELD Lacrosse and Girls Ball Are Attractions Tomorrow Senior O.A.L.A. Opening Game in Oshawa--To- rontos vs. General Mo- tors--Girls' Ball Game a Grudge Battle--Whithy vs. Chev. Ladies : The stage is all set and the pro- m a wow! gf the fans who have been xiously awaiting some action 1n Bros and girls baseball will be treated to a game of each that will hold their interest until the last min- ute of play in both the lacrosse and alr games, The program calls for a game be- tween the Chev ladies softball team and the Whitby Ladies, two old ri- vals that have had close battles when ever they have met. The respective merits of these two intermediate ladies teams is hard to decide and the games have all been 'marked by close scores and last minute wins. Last year the Chevs defeated the Whitby girls for the league: cham- pionship, only after a game repleat with snappy playing and timely bat- ting. This year the Whitby team has their team intact, while the Mo- tors have added some new talent and have lost some of their last season regulars and in the one game played between these two teams this year, the County Town ladies have been the victors defeating the Chevs in the Brooklin Tournament, 16 to 12, Saturday's game is not to be a league game but will be a closely fought tilt between determination to hold the upper hand and an equally strong determination to regain the ground lost by the initial defeat of the season, : The Whitby squad will be a team fielded that will be nearly identically the same as last year 'with the line up reading something like this: Pitcher, Mary Forrester; catcher, Grace Newman; Ist, Mary Blow; 2nd, Lena Watson; ss, Joan Wilson; 3rd, Flora Scott; outfield, right Jean Robertson, left, Effic Watson, centre, Thelma Parker. : The Chevs line up is not a cer- tainty but will read along these lines: V. Bark or M. Wilcox, pitching, Edith Elliott, receiving, I. Goold, M. Eliott, and D. Kennedy will hold the bases, while a new. girl, Bessic Morgan may be seen at short. The outfield will be comprised of three of the following, Leah Holmes, Hazel Holmes, Bella Blair, Annie Walker, Gladys McComb, V. Fulton, Verna Beckett. The Chevs have also another sur- prise for the boys and girls in the form of a brand new uniform that is| gox AND INDIANS guaranteed to kill at a hundred yards, it will be worn. Toronto vs. General Motors The opening game of the O.A.L.A. senior series in Oshawa brings to- gether The Torontos, from the Queen City and Oshawa General Mo- tors last season's champions, both these teams have been strengthened from last year and they will present rv game that will be worth the wit- aessing, what I mean! The Torontos lost their first game to Brampton, the team to beat last Friday but since then have added to their ranks some of the smartest in the game and expect to pull a win out of Oshawa tomorrow. Some of the stars that have been added are Max McGregor, and Dr. Virtue of the St. Simons last year's senior team, also Dode Laceby a veteran of the Torontos squad that was ill during the last- game so was unable to turn out. These stars along with big "Teddy" Reeves, of last year's local team will form a squad that will oe ably competent to furnish the lo- cals with all the opposition that they will want for some time to come. The Motors management arc confi- dent of chalking up another win but expect a stiff argument from the Torontos and they, are not taking things, in any way, for granted. Children Free To encourage the kiddies to take these two games seriously and to teach them the value of being ath- letes, lacrosse players particularly, the children under fifteen years of age need worry not one whit about the ticket collector as the sponsor- ers of the gala day--General Moters of Canada--have seen fit to let all children under the age of fifteen into the grounds free of charge and they sincerely hope that as many as pos- sible will take advantage of this, and will be on hand to see their bigger brothers and sisters do their stuff on the diamond and lacrosse field. Music Lt. Col. H. E. Smith has kindly Broadway | Melody Coming "The Doctor's Secret" .wark Bears iven his permission for the 34th egimental to be on the grounds and render music for the crowd during intermissions and any other breathing spaces that may oc- cur. This feature will cap a fitting the long awaited summer scason.

LEAFS SPLIT WITH LEADERS Rochester, May 31.--Rochester and Toronto split even in morning and afternoon combats here yes- terday to hold the same relative position that they had enjoyed in the League standing before hostil- ities began. The Leafs took the morning conflict; 5-1, before 3,300 fans, while the Red Wings put on a hitting splurge in the second contest to the intense delight of 6,000 enthusiasts who braved the sweltering heat to see "Tex" Car- leton win his fifth contest of the year, 10 to 2. GAVUZZI LEADS Deming, N.M., May 30 --Pete Gavuzzi, bearded speed artist of England, jumped into the lead in the C. C.

MAJOR SEGRAVE TO MYLOT HIS BOAT IN POTSDAM RACES Berlin, May 31.--Determined to stick to motor boat racing in the future regardless of the fate of his world automobile speed record of 231 miles an hour, Major H. O. Se- grave arrived here from London by airplane yesterday to pilot his crack speed boat, Miss England, in the international races on Templiner lake, Potsdam, Saturday and Sun- iy. HAMILTON RUNNER GAINS ON LEADERS Lordsburg, New Mexico, May 31. Phillip Granville, Hamilton, Ont., was sixth yesterday in the sixty-first lap of C. C. Pyle's bun- jon derby, running the 64 miles from Dening," New Mexico, to climax on the first big field day of | Ed. Tolan, Michigan's great col- ored sprinter, making what is claimed to be a new world's record of .09.5 seconds for the 100-yard dash at Western Conference an- nual track and field championships I Evanston, Illinois. ) Concerning Cross Checks Everybody knows Teddy Reeve around Oshawa and so we hardly need to introduce to you this big defence man that will be seen here in the uniform of the Torontos, Besides being well known 'in la- crosse circles, Reeves is a familiar figure on the rugby gridiron, and another thing that this "big Snu." does is write the Sporting Extras in the Toronto Telegram. Last year Reeves was one of the team that won the senior lacrosse championship, but this year he elected to play for the Torontos and when he comes down here on Saturday, it will be with one thing and one thing only, on his mind, that will be to hang a defeat on his former team mates. In the Toron- to's opening game with Brampton, Reeves was the only "big noise" they had as their team was a weak- ened one that took the field. In spite of a recent operation Teddy upheld the team again once more, and in addition to his ace high checking he would have made many plays to his home field for goals had he had their regular Home field to pass to. As it was, these home men were missing and many of the big fellow's well-meant plays went astray. They will be with him this Saturday and his worth as a lacrosse player will get a better showing and they may ae~ sult in too many goals. {Reeves is big and fast with a world of knowledge as to the play- ing of the National Game. The question at present is, who will be the unlucky Oshawa player who will be inflicted with the presence of this veteran of defence men dur- ing the game. It will be either Connie Golden or Kelly DeGray and either will give the Torontc sport scribe a rum, In conclusion, there is just one thing that it would be well to re- member and that is, that there is going to be a battle royal between Teddy Reeves and Conine or Kelly, as the case may: be, and a person can not go far wrong by being on hand to Witness same, . LJ By the way, folks, that fellow, Bill Davis, that you met Wednesday has decided to stick to his old team, the Maitlands; so he will be among those absent on Saturday, but will be seen here in the intermediate uniform of the Maitlands when they play Oshawa, soon. [NATIONAL GIANTS PLEASE LARGE CROWD New York, May 31.--The New York Giants won both games of the Decoration Day double-header from the Robins here yesterday before a roaring crowd of 55,000. The first game was won 8-7 while the gecond resulted in 15-6 score. PIRATES RETAIN LEAD Pittsburg, May 31.--Pittsburg maintained its one game lead in the National League yesterday by splitting the holiday double-head- er with Chicago. The Cubs captured the morning contest, 5-1 and the Pirates 'won the afternoon fray 4-0. CARDS GET SECOND RUNG St. Louis, May 31.--The 5t. Louis Cardjnals regained second place in the National League race by taking both sides of a double- header from the Cincinnati Reds yesterday, 5 to 1, and 8 to 2, on top of a double victory over the Reds yesterday.

Barnes, who was with the Hous- ton club of the Texas league last season, was highly rated by Bucky Harris during the spring training trip. . ing fray 8 to 7, while in the after- noon three Boston pitchers were laced 11 to 5. The Phillies whaled out 19. hits, four of which were home runs. SPORT SNAPSHOTS Tomorrow promises to be a big day in the eyes of the Oshawa softball and lacrosse followers, the ace high program being presented at Alexandra Park will draw a large crowd of these same fans and with the teams that have been mentioned there should not be one dissatisfied customer at the end of the day's program, The Golf shooters will be busy on the links as the play for the F. W. Cowan Trophy starts tomorrow and the entries received and the time set for teeing off is all in readyness for these devotices of golf. . While all this is taking place the senior ball team will be enjoying a rest, owing to the rearrangement of the schedule, and in the meantime the Deloro and Petes hook up in a league game that will place a different angle on the strength of these two teams. The Peterboro nine lost here in the opener and then turned around and won from the last season Champs, Belleville Nationals, if they win from Deloro tomorrow Oshawans will have a faint idea of the strength of the . remaining teams in the league, Deloro lost their opening game to the Belleville nine and if Peterboro defeats them tomorrow it will be plain that the local team will be the one to beat. The intermediates, the Aarabs, have a game tomorrow, visiting Cobourg the local squad will lock horns with a highly rated team from that town. The local intermediates too won their initial game, defeating the Peterboro Raybestos team, but since then they have been unable to get in a real valuable evening's practice, and there is every possibility that the lack of practice will c6unt heavily. against the m. If they lose the game tomorrow they can put the alame in one place only and that is on themsclves, they have made little effort to get in much 'needed practice, and can not expect to win ball games without that certain something, called - training. We do not wish them any hard luck but if they are going to make a go of the thing, and they can easily do it, having defeated the one team that was feared by the remaining three in the league, why not get down to work and show the fans that intermediate baseball is not so far behind that played by the senior. Here's hoping you win tomorrow, Morris, and after that start practicing. p g The junior lacrosse : fans are anxiously a lacrosse players. Sai hedule will be ready in the near future, and 'many ng news as to the doings of the younger set of ws is forthcoming folks. Another place that has got a great deal of lacrosse enthusiasm is Port Hope, they.have a number of juvenile lacrosse teams in their own home town and to give these younger players the chance to see a senior game they are bringing a squad about one hundred strong to see the first game of the season that will be played here tomorrow. These players along with the local juveniles and the two senior teams will follow along the same lines used by St. Catharines in their opening engagement to impress the people with the seriousness of the game. A parade headed by the 34th Regimental Band and followed by the younger enthusiasts and then the two senior teams will wend their way to the park tomorrow before the game starts. The youngsters will proudly. be carrying their sticks. READING GETS 50-530 SPLIT Reading, May 31.--Reading and Baltimore divided yesterday's twin bill.

Only Goose Goslin failed to connect in the course of two games, while the other five shared a dozen hits. Rogers Hornsby and Paul Waner showed the way with {hree each, registering the day's only import- ant gains. Hornsby went up from a .343 average to .347 to hold the lead, while Waner took second place away from Lou Gehrig, ris- ing from .317 to .524. Gehrig lost two points, dropping to .320. Babe Ruth and Jim Bottomley, each get- ting two hits apiece, remained about where they started, while the hitless Goslin dropped off from .301 to .287. The standing:-- G. A.B. R.

Hennessey defeated Captain Ricar- do Morales, 6-0, 6-3, 6-4; Van Ryn trounced Gustavo Vollmer, 6-0, 6-1, 6-1, The victories today leaves the Uni- ted States to win but one of the three remaining matches. Van Ryn scored the easiest victory vanquishing Vollmer, 6-0, 6-1, 6-1, but Hennessey, who decided to experi- ment his cop and forehand strokes when he saw an easy victory, was more extended, winning 6-0, 6-3, 6-4. Handicapped by the faster Ameri- can balls and a livelier court than they were accustomed, the stars. Only 10 of the 45 games in both matches were forced to deuce and of these extra-time games, Van Ryn and Hennessey won seven, bear- ing down with a back court that bewildered thc Cubans caught them off their guard. VANCE MUST REST and New York, May 30.--Dazzy Vance, premier pitcher of the Na- tional League, was ordered by his physician yesterday to take a long rest, which will preclude the pos- sibility of his accompanying the Brooklyn Robins on the impending western trip.
