OSHAWA, ONTARIO, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1922 Sportin ' Petes Blank Belleville Play Off Wednesday Three Thousand People See Saturday's Pitchers' Battle at Lift. lock City--Spectacular Double Play Feature of Game--Meet Here To-morrow In the best game of the year and |plate, oie, however, picked up before the biggest crowd that ever saw an amateur fixture in Peterhor- ough, the Petes evened up the Cen- tral Ontario League play-off series with Belleville at Riverside Park on Saturday, triumphing over the East- erners 2 to 0, and thus returning , the dose of whitewash administered to them by Belleville on Wednes- day. As a result the championship will depend upon the third game of the series, which will be played to- morrow. The winners of that cru- clal battle will meet Hillcrests in Toronto on Saturday in the 0.B.AA. senior semi-finals. It was a pitcher's duel between Heckman, Peterhorough's right. handed ace, and Jack Williams, Belleville's sensational Indian south- paw, and although Heckman allow- ed seven hits, as opposed to three off his opponent, he outpitched the lefthander inasmuch as he kept the blows well scattered and allowed but one walk, while Williams showed lack of comtrol, passing no fewer than seven men. Williams, although stingy in the matter of hits, was not the Williams of Wednesday. His strike-out record shrank from eigh- teen to six, and whereas the Petes went out in order in five of the nine innings at Belleville they had men on bases in every innings of Satur- day's fixture, and the Indian had to be a bit lucky as well as clever to prevent scores earlier in the game. Fine Doubleplay. The gem of the day, of course, was the spectacular double play made possible by the steel-springed arm of Herb Wolfe in the sixth that cut Belleville out of .a run that would have looked as big as the na- tional debt at that stage of the game. With one out Pennie Mills was on first when Harry Mills got hold of a fast ope and drove the ball to the edge of the field in deep right. It looked like a sure run as the burly catcher sped over second, turned third and pounded in towards the Se -------------- Ee ------.s on Ml How the side, specially shaped Royal Nozzle sucks up dirt from out-of -the- way places.

His grab of Ross' sizzler and quick toss to Johnston in the fifth for a force- lout of Williams killed a great Belle- ville chance for a counter, and his play on Weir in the fifth when he threw the speedy Belleville short- {stop out on a toss from deep short was of big league calibre.

In the outfield everything {was taken care of in fine style. {Swanston's neat throw in the eighth was another play that relieved a 'delicate situation. With Ross on third and Weir at first, two out and the dangerous Peenie Mills at bat, Swanston nailed Weir with a' per- fect thr to Johnston when he tried to steal second. Attendance 3,000, The crowd numbered very close to 13,000 people and included fans from {all sections of Eastern Ontario, from {Napanee on the east to Oshawa | Belleville had several hundred root- 'ers, many of whom arrived on a special train, and every Central Lea- gue town had a big quota here. The Central Ontario League officials oc- cupied seats in the grandstand. The Petes were without the ser- vices of their famous pilot, Manager Solomon, who by reason of Satur- day being the Jewish New Year could take no part in the game. The team was nicely handled by Max Swanston, however, and came through with a fine win. A queer feature was that the only three hits made by the Petes were (all registered by one player, Shaugh- {nessy, who singled in the second and sixth and came through with a most timely double in the eighth.

He received fine sup- port at times hut five errors, thrown in, three of them in one inning, put him at a big disadvantage, , Muirhead, a high School lad, but a husky one too, showed a burst of speed at centre field. Seven flies found their way into his mitt giving him credit for seven putouts and a perfect day. Avery, the second base- man, was relieved of any worry about short flies, Muirhead cover- ing the field like a blanket. His speed around the bases looked to be about the best seen here this year and fans who saw the game predict that he will be a big factor on the Bowmanville team next year. Fittings' Good Start Fittings got away to a big start in the fourth frame, when four counters were chased across the plate on three clean hits and two walks while they added one in each of the fifth, sixth, seventh and eigh- th. Bowmanville registered two in the third and three more in the fifth but that was the final result of their | efforts. Special mention might be made of "Teddy" Saunders work on balls and strikes. He called them fairly close giving "Pat" several opportunities to argue but Saunders was not to blame, the dust from Patton's shoes | making it difficult for the umpire to even see the plate.

Heckman and Williams were the opposing slab artists in the home and home games and jt is likely the same two stars will again deliver the goods for their respective teams at Alexandra Park to-morrow. Williams walked into Riverside Park and let Jake Sol- omon's men down with three hits only to lose the verdict and it is safe to say that he will give everything he has to outpitch Al. Heckman in the third contest, The Oshawa Football team will travel to Toronto Saturday for their final game in the second division of They will clash with Kew Beach and should they win, they will have a firm grasp on second place in the league standing and a possible chance of landing the championship as Cowans are report- ed to have admitted playing two men without certificates against Oshawa earlier in the season. With two points from next Saturday's game and two more from Cowans, the Oshawans will nose out the present leaders by one point. Owing to the Central League fix- ture at Alexandra Park to-morrow between Peterboro and Belleville for the championship of the C.0.B.L., the annual Field Day of Oshawa High School has heen postponed and another date will be arranged, Once again the grandstand at Alexandra Park will be packed and the usual formidable array of auto- mobiles: will encircle the hall park to-morrow afternoon when the third and deciding game for the Central Ontario League championship will be played. When it is taken into consideration that 2,000 Oshawa fans paid admission to see the local team clash with Ostlers of Toronto in an bxhibition game, the attendance at to-morrow's attraction should easily surpass all records, Some indication of the large crowd expected at the Belleville-Peterhoro game here to-morrow may he de- 'ived from the fact that both Peter- horo and Belleville Baseball Clubs are running special trains to Osha- wa, The contest will commence at three o'clock, The Pedlar Indoor baseball team held a re-organization meeting re- cently when Pat Morphy was select- ed manager, Stan McNeely, secretary and Dick Smith, field captain.
