PAGE EIGHT / THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, MAY 20, T93T Cir i Sd TC Ri dal LACROSSE MEETING TONIGHT -- LADIES SOFTBALL THURSDAY Stage Set For Great Legion Picnic-Fine | Sports Program Ready Two-mile Race Is Feature Event of Large Attract. ive Program--Two Soft- ball Games, Tug-of-War|}. and Other Events Com- pose Fine Program for the Legion Picnic on Monday at Lakeview Park An ambitious and attractive pro- gram of sports, ranging all the way from a two-mile road race to a baseball-throwing contest and a girls' softball game, will be present- ed by the Oshawa Branch of the Canadian Legion at the Community Picnic and Field Day which is being staged at Lakeview Park on Mon: day as a Victoria Day celebration for Oshawa and district. The event is arousing wide interest, not only in Oshawa, but throughout tne pro- vince, and parties of visitors from many towns and cities are expected '0 put in an appearance duriig the day, drawn here, of course, by the fact that a 1931 Chevrolet Coach is to be given away at 7.30 in the ev- ening to the lucky member of-the Legion Convention Club to hold the winning ticket. Thousands of tick- ets have been sold all over the pro- vince and there is no telling where that car is going to find its destina- tion, Two Mile Race Coming back to the sporis pra gram, however, the opening feature will be a two-mile road race, open to anyone, to start at one o'clock, at the corner of King and Simcoe Streets, and to finish up at Lake- view Parks sports grounds. This is an open race, and entries are now being received. Any runners wish- ing to enter are asked to communi cate with Roger Armitage, 302 Jar- 'vis Street, who is in charge of en- tries. Entries will close at 5 p.m, on Saturday. There are plenty of good runners at this distance in the city, and a big entry is expected, as the Legion is planning to awara handsome prizes. Softball Games Two softball games are on the program. One is a girls game, be- tween the*Ontario Malleables team and the Chosen 'Friends team of Oshawa. These two teams played many close games last year, and the Chosen Friends are considerably stronger than they were then, so the game should give a'good linc ca how they are going to shape up for the coming season. The sciond game will see the Oshawa Legion team playing against a team irom the Bowmanville branches of the Legion, and as there is a keen but healthy rivalry between branches, this should prove an ex- citing and interesting game. Tug-of-War Tug-of-War is on the program, too, limited to teams made up of convention cltb members. The teams have already been entercq, and two more will be accepted, so as to make a four team match that will provide lots of excitement and interest, = A horse-shoe pitching contest of a novel type will be in- troduced, and" other games and sports events provided so that all the two will have an opportunity of taking part. Other Events Even the women and children are not being forgotten, and a special rogram of races and other evens is being provided for them. This part of the program, it is undcr- stood, is being taken over by the Ladies' Auxiliary of the Legion, which will handle it with its psuai cfhciency. These are only a few of the high lights which are being provided cr this big community celebration at Lakeview Park to mark the Victor- ia Day holiday. There will be many others. The band of the Ontario Regiment will be in attendance at the park during the afternoon to provide music, and the grand climax of the whole affair will be reached in the evening, of course, when the winning numbers for the Chevrolet car and the four other grand prizes will be drawn at 7.30 pm, There is no admission charge of any kind for this picnic, and all citizens will be made heartily wel- come. The Legion is holding open house, and a cordial invitation is extended to everyone in Oshawa, | AMERICAN A'S WIN ELEVENTH Detroit, Mich, May 20.-- George Earnshaw was invincible yesterday and held the Detroit 'Tigers to two hits as the Phila- delphia Athletics won the series opener here 5 to 0.

Jimmy Fox batted in three of the Athletic"s runs. Neither pitcher issued a pass. INDIANS STILL LOSING Cleveland, Ohio, May 20.--The Cleveland Indians lost their eleventh straight game yesterday and their first to the New York Yankees this season by an $ to 6 count.

BEARS WIN TWO Buffalo, May 20.--The Newark Bears made it two straight over the Buffalo Bisons to holster their hold on first place when they took the third game of the series here yesterday afternoon 4 to 1. Andy Cohen's shot over the left-field wall with a man on was the most potent factor in Newark's victory. "Heime" Mueller saved the Bisons from being kalsomined when he drove a long smash over the right-field fence in the fourth inning. Mueller's drive was the only hit off "Lefty" Millggan up to the sixth inning, but the New- ark southpaw was removed in this inning when he filled the bases on three consecutive walks. Al Harvin came in and easily quelled the Bisons for the rest of the route, ROYALS BEATEN IN TENTH Montreal, May 20.--The Roy- als lost a 10-inning game to the Jersey City Skeeters here yester- day afternoon, 5 to 4, when Marty Griffin walked in the win- ning run was the bases full to al- low the Skeeters to even the series at two games each, The visitors scored four unearned runs off Griffin in the eixth, three errors giving them all their tallies after two were out, The Royals rallied with three runs in the ninth after two were down on clean singles. Griffin was wild and passed 9 men, allowing but 7 hits. WINGS DEFEAT ORIOLES Rochester, May 20.--Rochester defeated Baltimore here yester- day 4 to 2, in a game cut short by a downpour of rain after two were out in the seventh inning. It was the second loss in like manner this trip for the Orioles. Monte Weaver pitched well, but allowed his hits after errors by his team-mates and all the four runs of the winners were un- earned. Hill was tight in what few pinches offered and turned down the Maryland crew, PIGEON RACING The second pigeon race of the seagon was held on Saturday last by the Oshawa Homing Society from Puslinch Ontario, a distance of 71 miles air line. The weather was not very good but this did not prevent the birds from making fast time and a close race was flown, The following is the result of the race:--1, W. Cowle, 1040.28; 2, V. Whiteley, 1040,09; 3, V. Whiteley, 1038.37; 4, W. Cowle, 1036.58; 5, Bramley Bros. 1035.- 38; 6, C. Sparrow, 1017.40; 7, Bramley Bros. 1010.42; 8, C. Sparrow, 997.15.

The Pirates made a great bid for victory in the ninth inning, when they loaded the bases withm noneout and drove J. Elliott from the mound. "Ace" Elliott came to the rescue and Brame hit into a double play allowing Grantham to score, but Phillips rolled out to closing the "hud, PORT SNAPSHOT ow Co at Lakeview Park, keenly compeied. vited, > . activities.

Excelsior Club's Attitude Puzzles Brampton Fans s-- Brampton, May 20--Supporters of the Excelsior Lacrosse Club in this town are at a loss to under- stand the club's attitude in not be- ing represented at two meetings of the O.A.L.A. executive, nor did they present certificates. While they are absolutely opposed to legislation enacted by the new- ly appointed President, William Blainey, Toronto, regarding his in- terpretation of the residence rule, their absence from the meeting finds little sympathy with fans of the town, If it is thei) intention to ignore the association and re- fuse to operate a team in the sen- for series, no statement has vet been made to the press or to the public here. Reports are current that Ted Reeve will sign with the Maroons of Montreal in the professional box-lacrosse league and that other members of last year's Dominion champions have been aproached, and are giving it their serious con. sideration. Those players whose certificates would not pass the O.A.L.A. gauntlet have stated that they will not play amateur lacross elsewhere than with Ex- celsiors. And so a situation is arising that threatens to undo any progress lacrosse has made in the past few years. Excelsiors for the been practising faithfully for the past three weeks and are in excel- lent early season condition, There is a host of lacrosse material here for the three teams entered in the 0.A.

Out of 15 United States and one German golfer who started play yesterday, only Voigt re- mains. Voigt saved himself from elimination only by virtue or a pair of sensational putts on the 16th and 17th greens in his match with J. R. Abercrombie yesterday. Only 32 remain of the nearly 200 players who stepped up to the tee yesterday morning. And the last bristles with names of men who have long trodden the path of glory in English golf, Lurking here and there, too, are brilliant youngsters who "are itching to place their names on the cham- pionship roll of fame. - Wethered and Tolley Qualify Among the remaining players, for instance, is Lister Hartley, brilliant 'and young golfer who may give any one a run, Bernard Darwin, who has overthrown many famoug foreigners in his time, is also still in the running.' Young Douglas Fiddian might come to England's aid by opposing Voigt in the final too, while Rog- er Wethered and Cyril Tolley, England's greatest threats, are held in reserve. GIANTS BEAT REDS New York, May 20.--Young Bill Morrell, Giant rookie pitcher, held the Cincionati Reds to eight scattered hits yesterday while the: New York batters collected 14 blows off Larry Benton and Ben- ny Frey to win the series opener to 3, CARDS TAKE ROBINS Brooklyn, N.Y., May hold on first place in the National League yesterday by coming from behind in the lyn Robins 6 to 2.
