The one goal difference in the score about represents the differ- ence in two clever teams. Mi- mico got the edge only on their extra experience, knowing how to hold a lead when they got it. Fer- gus was in front hy two goals at the start of the game and ap- peared to be on the road to an- other win. when Mimico started to click on its passing plays. The Mountaineers cut their deficit to two at' half time, added two to take 'the lead in the third period while they went two in front at the start of the final 15 minutes. Fergus staged a plucky fight to get back the lost advantage and gathered in another goal but their hopes of tying the scorz were ruined by two penalties in the last few minutes. It was a great game of la- crosse, net as spectacular as the first meeting of the teams here, but harder fought with checking extra close, and goals at a prem- ium, Both played careful la- crosge covering up fast on the de- fence when the opposition wag in possession, which made offensive plays extra difficult and shots on goals even harder. It was team against team and man against man, passing plays accounting for six of the seven scores, while both adopted a combination eys- tem on the defence. week, Junior Hockey League To Be Organized One of the most important steps taken at the Oshawa Hoc- key Club meeting last night at the Genosha Hotel was to an- nounce the plan to organize a Junior Hockey League, This lea- gué is to be open to all hoys of Junior Hockey age and will he organized immediately so the schedule can be run off before the O.H.A. season opens. In this way the management will have a real chance to look over the ma- terial available and the players will have a fair chance to show their true worth in action. This movement should do much to bring along the younger players who ordinarily are out of competitive hockey unless they catch a place on the O.H.A. or Collegiate teams. Oshawa should have one of the best Jun- ior teams in history and it will be a home-brew aggregation at that, Chas McTavish has the right idea when he offers the tropy as a reward to the winning team. The boys will be organized and helped in every way possible, and with this in mind all boys of Jun- ior age (under twenty the first of January, 1932) are asked to meet in Rotary Hall, Wednesday even- ing at 7.00 p.m, ADDRESS GIVEN ON RADIO TECHNIQUE (Continued on page 6) (Continued from page 1) house and De I'orest in the radio field for the improvement in transmission, One of the most interesting parts of the address was the tracing of the sound wave set in phone and carried through tran formers then borne on the win of either to the radios of list- ening millions and there changed to the original sound in 'the in- credibly short intervening of time.

Anothe. inepection brought the matter closer to an agreement but did not result in the judges being able to prepare a complete list in order of merit. They attempted a third inzpec- tion of one or two of the windows but found that this was impossi- ble owing to the fact that the lights in these windows had been turned off the hour was so late, The matter of disagreem:nt fi- nally reached the point where it was only based on an interpreta- tion of the rules regarding the awarding of points, and the de- cision was reached to submit the tentative findings and awards to experts within the Department of Agriculture before any definite announcement is made. The windows themselves were most attractive, and created 'a great deal of interest among citi- zens generally, while the judges were unanimously appreciative of the efforts put forward by the competing merchants. sidelines and wait for the catas- trophe to come, and if we do not find a solution, the catastrophe will come.

Would Mean Loss of Ground Gained in Past Season-- Employment: Question Ranks First In Minds of Local Executive -- Pro- posed Grouping Would Not Be Satisfactory Although this is typical fall wea- ther and bascball in Ontario official- ly closed for the season on Saturday the hot stove league is well to the front with gossip as to the develop- ments to be expected among ama- teams in the province next spring, There is much talk in the air as to changes that will be made in the various clubs in this regard Oshawa has not been left out of the picture by the sporting writers in all sections of the province. A week or so ago the Toronto Star Weekly came to bat with the assertion that Oshawa would be back in the Central Ontario League scason, linked up with Peter- borough, Belleville and Coboury, with Kingston getting a bye, In «ddition it was stated that Oshawa was in the market for a number of players who it was hoped would bol- ster the local lineup. The Times sporting been close touch the Oshawa Baseball and has come to know them as a busines-like ganization that has the best inter- ests of baseball in Oshawa at heart, so for that reason we can say that at least half of what has been print- ed in outside newspapers has no backing of truth, In the first place the Oshawa team this past season was made up of players who made their homes in Oshawa d qualified under the residence rule by a wide margin. Indeed some of the players on the team were out of work like many of their féllows in this time of hardship yet gave of their best for the team without any remuneration whatever. When the Toronto scribes come out with the statement that Oshawa is trying to get play- next department in with the executive of Clu all has season or- is time that something was said as to the plans of the local executive. The executive of the Oshawa Jascball Club have worked hard during the last year to revive base- ball in Oshawa and with that in the C.O.B.L, this would not be pose sible in either Belleville or Peter borough as the distance to be travelled is too great to make after working hours, which would mean that all games 'no matter whether at home or on the road would have to be played on Saturday, which in itsclf would not be an arrangement suitable to the Oshawa executive, Even under those conditions the Oshawa Club would not be able to leave Oshawa after work .and travel to Belleville for a Saturday after- noon game and have time to shake the stiffness out of their joints for the game. The whole question boils down to this. That a job in these times is more valuable than any amount of sporting activity. The Oshawa men- tors are very much aware of this and would not ask their players to jeopardize their positions by seek- ing leave even for an hour from their employment to take part in sports. If Oshawa is forced to re- turn to the C.O.B.L. we doubt very much if the Motor City will field a team next year. This is not to be taken as a threat against the league, but as a necessity, the local club being totally incapable of meet- ing the requircments of a league schedule. Looking into the future it requires no stretch of the imagination to sec a revival of amateur baseball in the province. This season has been out of the ordinary, with star players of the very highest type coming to light in widely separated districts, Take Judd of Guelph and Gold- smith of Southhampton for example, Both could get tryouts with major 1. que teams right now on their showing this season. Then came the announcement of the condition of the International Baseball Club in Toronto with the Maple Leaf Stadium being put on the auction block. All this points to a more concentrated interest in amateur baseball next season in Ontario. With no club in Toronto of AA rat- ing the interest of the fans will turn more than ever to amateur ball, This will means that every league in the Queen City will\draw more crowds than ever before. Oshawa is so situated that they can take a front' seat in this res vival, by playing in the West Tor. onto Senior League. During the past season thcy were the . best drawing team in the league and capacity crowds werc the order of the day at Earlscourt Park every time they played. Their popularity view considered 'that a purely local team, the players which were well known to the fans and who had grown up in the city would be best interests of the game in Oshawa. So when the team took the field for their first game last spring the whole personnel of the club was of a home brew nature. | The club tried in every way to se- cure jobs for the members of the team. but in all cases this was not possible. The exccutive are still of the opinion that the members of their team who are living in Osh- awa should be provided for before outsiders receive any consideration whatsoever; and although others may say that the executive are try- iny to get outside players, the local mentors know best that all the present roster will be looked after before a single plaver will be taken on. The club feel certain that they can make the best teams in the pro- vince step their best to keep up with them and will be back with few if any changes next scason, In regard to the affiliations of The Dukes during the vear 1933, it must be said that this issue is still very much in the air. The Oshawa club secured permission last year, to play in the West Toronto Senior Bascball League for one year only, from the Central Ontario League. This permission was instrumental in setting bascball on its feet in the Motor City after several years dur- ing which interest lay dormant. While the crowds at the first of the scason were small, they increased gradually until at the end of the scason interest was at a fever heat. This was in no small measure duc to the brand of ball being played as well as the number of games that were being played here, which was almost every Saturday. During the scason the best of relations prevail- ed among the clubs and. witl the league executive, who kept the game clear of any criticism which in itself tended to gain the confidence of the fans, Should Oshawa be forced to go back into the Central Ontario League during 1933, it would with- out any shadow of a doubt mean the breaking down of everything that has been so painstakingly built up during the last scason. Indeed it would be next to disaster as far as baseball is concerned in Oshawa, Durihg the past season with con- ditions as they were the club was able to play no less than twenty- five games not including play-off and exhibition games with no inter- ruption whatever to the working hours of the players. This was only possible because the players were able to leave Oshawa after their work was finished and journey to Toronto where twilight games were played starting at 6.45 p.m. Now of to the was such that they werc asked to play with other senior clubs out- side their own league with such clubs as Danforths, Beaches and St, George's against whom they never got worse than an cven break in exhibition games, Indeed at the end of the season they were asked to give their assurance that they would be back in the league again next spring. Then there is the possibility of an inter-league series for the West Toronto League next year, all of which lies just over the threshold for the Oshawa Club should they be allowed to play in the Toronto loop again, Oi course the Oshawa executive are aware of their position and al- though the leaves are off the trees they are already making plans for next scason and will do everything in their power to stay where they have been so well receivedand ene joved such amicable relatibns, Low Daily Rat Special Weekly.
