THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, MONDAY, AUGUST 12, 1929 LL TOURNAMENT PROVIDED AN ABUNDANCE OF GOOD SPORT Four Teams From General Motors Will Meet For Championship as Result of Games Played Saturday & with Playing of the Final Games in Gen- ournament, Rain in a way spoiled the softball games scheduled for the General Mo- tors picnic, but it was not before the first two rounds of the soft ball tour- nament was run off and the game between the Office Executives and | ken, the Superintendents was. played. The latter was the biggest drawing card on the softball program with the crowds thronging around the soft- ball diamond. Sixteen teams entered the softball tournament which was divided into two sections with eight teams to a section. The first two rounds were run, off successfully in the morning leaving the first two teams in each group ready to enter the play-offs which had to be called off on ac- count of rain and which will be stag- ed some evening next week as well as the girls game between the Fac- tory girls and the Office girls. Every conceivable kind of ball was pgovid- ed in the softball tournament. There was close air tight ball and loose sloppy ball, but of course many of the men playing in the tournament never play a game of ball from one year's end until the other. That's what made the games the more in- teresting. In the first group, Group A, the Office West wing and the Paint Shop will meet for the cham- pionship while in the second group, Group B, the Exports will meet the Parts and Service, Six Home Runs In Group A, the first round provid- ed some interesting ball. The Body Room defeated the Buick Line, Bldg. 55 by a score of 16 to 9. This game was featured by six home runs, two by Lortie, the Body Rooms catcher, The, Body Room got started in the fourth innings when they scored six runs, Two homers was the start of this circuit trotting episode. The line-ups were in order of po- sition~Body Room--Lortie, Atters- ley, J. Thompson, Leyden, Pellow, W. Fair, Ison, A. Thompson, McLean, Buick Line Bldg. 55~Smith, Kee- nan, Hubbell, Dafoe, Chartrand, Ja- mison, Mathews, Simmons, Flintoff, Score Doubled The Chev and Pont Line, Bldg. 62, defeated the Stamping plant 18 to 9. The winners started out on the right foot when they scored four runs in the first, and then three each in the third and fourth, Their big innings came in the sixth when they crossed the plate seven times much to the demoralization of the Stamping Plant boys. The Stamping Planters had two innings, scoring three in the sixth and making a Sig rally in the seventh to score five runs, It was too late to make up the damage done. The line-ups were, in order of posi- tion,-- Chev and Pont Line, Bldg, 62-- Burr, Mathews, Rowden, Cornish, S. Claus, Petrie, Trott and Weeks. Stamping Plant--Hichey, Beaver Jackson, Roddick, Pocock, Murray, George, Ambrose, Tackaberry, Subs. --Wright and Tommes. A Big Defeat The Office West Wing handed Bldg. 63 a serious set back when they defeated them 31 to 8. The Office boys were masters of the play thru out the whole of the play. The Of- fice boys started out with scoring sixteen runs in the first innings. That was too much for the boys from Bldg. 63. They just couldn't overtake them although they tried hard in the sixth when they scored six runs. The line-ups were in order of position, -- _Oftice West Wing--Bond,- Webster Conlin, Brand, Brown, Elliott, Baird, Simmons, Mossworthy, Subs.--Row- den, Hood, McDougal. i Bldg. 63--Wilson Trott, Lovelock, Stokes, Cornish, Milton, McLean, Vailey, McClary.

This game was an even one throughout with the winners coming out in the last innings of play. Crouter crash- ed out a homer while Luke and O'Dotid had a threebagger each to their credit. The line-ups inorder of positions were-- Office East Wing--O'Doud, Crea- mer, Elliott, Lome, Young, Topping, Goodall, Houck and Cook. Paint Shop--Stocks, Keith, Petrie, Reeves, Crouter, Cardinal, Petrosky, Luke and Little. he Second Round . In the second round, the games were expected to be much | closer than in the first. The Paint Shop handed the Chev & Pont Line Bldg. 62 a 9 to 7 defeat after a closely fought game. The Paint Shop boys banged three homers which sent them away to in the winning column, The Office West Wing however up set the works when they white- washed the Body Room 13 to 0. It was a walkaway with the Body Room never having a show-in. The Office boys went in to win and win they did. With a barrage of heavy hit- ting and some nifty field plays they swamped them completely, The linc- ups in the second round were the same as in the first. The Office Boys and the Painters will meet in the finals, In Group B Tn Group B, the games were much wilder than in the other group. In the 'first round nearly every game ' was won by a big margin, Parts and ' Service defeated the Buick Trin Line Centre Floor 24 to 11, The Parts and Service started out with eleven runs in the first while the Buick boys could only grab off one.

The Superintendents invented a new kind of softball when they played with two balls, ope on the side. The Superintendents were the heavy hitters breaking two bats, which threw sawdust and people.

Get Large Lead on Lacrosse C hamps Ottawa, Aug. 12.--Playing fine lacrosse from start to finish, and outplaying the Dominion champ- ions for the greater portion of time, Montreal Columbus yesterday defeated Ottawa Emmetts by os vo 5. Theg ame was played at Luna Park here, and was the first of a 2-game final series, total goals on the round for the championship of the Ontario-Quebec Lacrosse Lea- gue. Held to a single goal in the first period, and to a three-all tie score at half time, the Montreal Celts cut loose a terrific attack in the third period that gave them five consecu- tive goals without a reply from the home forces. Emmetts did rap two near the close of the session to cut the Montrealers' lead to three, but the visitors boosted this back to four, with a goal in the final sec- ond of the game, and will carry a four-goal lead home with them for the second and final game of the series, which will be played in Montreal next Sunday. powder all over the ground and Max Schmelling Barred For Life New York, Aug. 12.--Only a few short weeks ago the path of young Max Schmeling led smooth and straight toward all the glory and wealth of the world's heavyweight championship. Today the colorful Teuton is threatetted with fistic ob- livion, apparently barred for life along with his American managers from the rings of New York state. Out of a clear sky the New York Athletic commission through Chair- man Jas. A. Farley, today issued its final sentence in the involved and heated controversy that has raged about Schmeling's head almost since his arrival here a little over a year' ago. "The State Athletic commission and boxing fans of the state of New York," the formal statemen. maida in closing, "can get along without Schmeling and those who are hand- ling his interests, not only now but for all time." The commission expressed pleas- ure that big Bill Carey, president of Madison Square Garden, finally had abandoned his plan to stage a heavyweight title match between Schmeling and Jack Sharkey out- side of New York state, in defiance of the commission's orders, and de- plored the actions of the German and his advisors. Schmeling, now on a barnssurm- ing tour through far western states with Joe Jacobs, American mana- ger, who replaced Buelow in the fighter"s affections, but not in the records of the commission, has re- fused to reply to the solon's edict that he must fulfil a contract sign- ed by Buelow with Promoter Hum- bert J. Gugazy for a match with Phil Scott here. Carey, successvr to Tex Rickard at the head of Ma- dison Square garden, issued the following statement: { "I was ready to risk susupension, the shutting down of Madison Square garden, and the loss of $500,000, by staging a Sharkey- Schmeling bout outside of New York state in defiance of the com- mission, but in accordance with my promise to the fighters, Now Sch- meling has 'run out' because he thinks Jack Dempsey will give him moie money for the bout. Botn Schmeling and Jacobs are through forever as far as the garden is con- cerned." Carey has substituted Tommy Loughran, retiring. light neavy- weight champion, for Schmeling in the Sharkey match, to be staged at the Yankee stadium, Sept. 1v. "Do you want to buy a watch, sir?" "Show it to me." "It's in the. waistcoat pocket of that stout gentleman," ---- Kasper, MRS.

A ROMANTIC SETTING Rich in history and tradition is the country round about Pictou Lodge, the Canadian National Rail- ways' Nova Scotia summer hotel. Early in the eighteenth century this quaint district was settled by pioneers from the Highlands of Scotland, =o it is already steeped in the charm of antiquity. Lovely seascapes on one side and the frag- rant pinewoods on the other make the scenic setting unforgettable, Plenty of recreation, too. A sporting golf course nearby, ten- nig, surf-bathing, sailing and excel-' lent fishing not too far away, Ask your nearest Canadian Na- tional Agent for booklet on Picton Lodge and for any information you may desire. % COSMOPOLITAN "I say, Bill," said a bricklayer to his mate, "what's a cosmopolitan?" "Well," was the careful reply, "if there was a Russian Jew living in Scotland with an Irish wife smoking Turkish cigarets at a French window in a room with a Persian carpet and a German band was playing 'The Dear Little Shamrock' after a supper of Dutch cheese made into Welsh rarebit--you'd be quite safe to say that chap was a. cosmopolitan.""--The Humane Pleader. Jackson, Reid and Piper. Cooper and Curtiss. A Shut Out In the second round the Parts and Service handed the Chevs a 17 to 0 setback. Jt was another one of those loose games where one team does all the good work and the other not so good. The P and S boys scored 5 runs in both the 3rd and 4th frame and 3 in the 5th and 4 in the 7th. They were the masters of the play throughout. Big Last Innings The Export boys handled the In- spection No. 2 boys satisfactorily keeping them in hand throughout the game and coming out on top of a 17 to 9 score. Their big innings was the last when they scored seven runs, That was too much for the inspec- tors who couldn't overcome this lead. The line-ups for these games was the same as in the first round. The finals of these two groups will be played some evening next week along with the rest of the program that was not run off on Saturday. The Feature Game By far the mst interesting soft- ball. game of the day was the bur- lesque event between the Office Executive and the Superintendents, This gam was a scream, with just one laugh after another. After 2 innings of hectic softball the game was called on account of rain, much to the chagrin of the Super- intendents who thought that they would break the tie for a win. The game was preceded by a parade headed by the Ontario Regiment band and followed by the two teams. The parade marched ar- ound the fiel dand ended up at the diamond. Both teams were dress- ed in the most colorful of pypjamas and the gaudiest of shirts. Several The Sutton Horse Show was officially open * °° W. D.

Group No. 1 in the intermediate series. It was an excellent battle between two wel-matched teams. A threat of rain kept the crowd down to about 1,200, practically the same number as saw the last game in Fergus two weeks ago. Throughout the first halt the play was very even. Hamilton hav- start, but failing to retain it, Fer- gus scored first when Norman Rus- sell found an open net, after Blyth Brown had coaxed Gow out. Near the end of the period, Dextras pick- ed up the ball after a rebound and tied the score. At half time the teams were still deadlocked, Graham having scored for Fergus and Gordon for the visitors. In the third period Fergus had a big edge, but were unable to score, while "Red" Brown got an easy one for Hamilton halfway through the session. Fergus con- tinued to press in the last few minutes, and Jack Russell tied the score. Theg ame was fairly 'clean, there being few penalties. The one ex- ception came when MacPherson struck Goalkeeper Walsh over the head. He was given a ten-minute penalty. The return game will be played in Hamilton next Saturday. Before the intermediate game the Fergus and Durham juveniles played in the second of home-and- home games. . Fergus taking the game by 6 to 0, and the round 10 to 3.

LEAFS PITCHING WINS TWO Jersey City, Aug. 12.--Pitching was the dominating factor in a three-game week-end series played between the Toronto Leafs and the last place Jersey City Skeeters at the Westside Park, Because their hurling was just a bit better than that of the Skeet- ers, the visitors managed to emerge with the victory palm in two of the three games. The Leafs won 1-0 on Saturday, and 3-1 in the second game yester- day. The home forces managed to win yesterday's first game 6-4. The teams will be idle today, the game having been advanced to pro- vide for a Sunday double-header which was poorly attended.

To the Hamilton Olympic Clulf went the lion's share of the hone ors, the wearers of the yellow and black amassing a total of 36 points during the afternooo. Eight of the seventeen titles contested fell ta the prowess of the Olympic Club athletes, while they also scored second place in six events and third places in three events, In the track events, Hamilton reigned supreme, second and third positions in the 100-yard dash and the 440-yard run, and accounted for first and, second places in the "fur-long'"', . Phil Edwards added to the Hamilton total when he fin« ished first in the 800-yard run, The only track events in which the Mountian- City athletes were not victorious were the 1-mile run, the 120-yard high hurdles and the 2« mile walk.
