Oshawa Girls Win Exhibition Game in Orono. NA Oshawa Lacrossers oi Display Superiority Right In Peterboro Oshawa Seniors do not play in Toronto tonight. Their next game is right here on the Alexandra Park diamond, this Saturday afternoon, when the Good Rich "Oilers" will be the visitors. That's the club that put a halt to Oshawa's long win- ning streak and last night they also defeated Riverdale Grads. * + @ In second place at present, the "Oilers" are considered the 'hot- test" team in the Inter-City ball loop at the present time. * bd In case any local softball fan wants to know where to go this evening, may we recommend the game at Alexandra Park when Lions will clash with Viec- tor"s. That will be a good Ju- venile tilt but better still, go down to Lakeview Park and watch Clark's Supertests tangle with Cedardale Vikings. A glance at the official standing, fr today's paper, shows that Vikings and Supertests are neck- and-neck for second place so that game down at the Lake tonight means plenty. kB There'll be no softball games to- morrow night! * + * Robson Leather Tannery de- feated Johr's Place of Whitby, down at the Stadium last night, in a peppy game. The win puts the Leather-Makers in first place all alone and so they have clinched a bye into the league finals. Whitby and Pepsi-Colas will meet in the semi-final bracket and this series will likely start about Tuesday night of mex week. + + + Tannery earned their win last might, giving Clapp great support and hitting Mayne's offerings reg- ularly to pile up their lead. The Whitby team fell down badly in the field and mistakes of play and thinking cost them a lot of runs. Robson Leather will now "march time" for about ten days, waiting for the finals to start. * + » The Junior softball playoffs will start this Friday night; at the Motor City Stadium, when Dixon's Coal and Bill's Place open their semi-final series. Westmount Broncs have a bye firto the finals and so Dixon's Coal and Bill's Place will have their winner decided before the end of the next week. > + > The first game will be on Friday night, with Dixon's Coal having the choice of "innings" for the first game. Bill's Place, a team of heavy hitters, should stage a real semi- final series with Dixon's Coal. The Coal Heavers have been an in-and- out club all year and may rise to heights to win easily or may play a poor brand of ball and drop right out of the running. It should be an interesting series. * + » Pleasure Valley Ranchers and Palm Billiards didn't get any closer last night. They played g 5-5 game and it had to be called in the 10th inning, on account of darkness. A collision in the Billiards' outfield, which resulted in the injury of one player, caused the delay that made it impossible to finish the game: These two clubs will likely be action again on Friday evening, back at Lakeview Park, as there is | game scheduled for that diamond on Friday night. LE There"re minor league lacrosse games, starting at 6.30 pm, down at the Motor City Siad- ium this evening and again on Thursday. However, tomorrow night, at nine o'clock, the Coca- Colas will be Ir action against Brooklin and that shapes up as a big attraction. LE SS It's several weeks now since the Oshawa lacrossers have tangled with Brooklin. Three times in suc- cession, their scheduled games have been rained out but this time, they hope to get a "break" from the weatherman. Brooklin and Oshawa are at present staging a neck-ande no other neck race for second place in th standing. Oshawa's win over Peter- boro last night tertainly helps the Cokes but they still have to beat Brooklin once or twice to make sure of the position . * + 2» As Brooklin and Oshawa al- ways staged a hectic lacrosse tilt, one of the biggest crowds of the seasorr is expected tomor- ryw night. After all, the "Coca- Colas" are back in stride again, having' won three of their last four games and so they can be expected to give the strong Brooklin team, Vipond brothers, etc., a run for their money, to- morrow night at the Stadium. * + + Oshawa Coca-Colas won ga bril- liant victory down in Peterboro last night and too much praise can not be heaped upon the Winning a game in Peterboro is a tough feat and Oshawa has done it twice this season, besides winning all three "home" games from Pe- terboro. Peterboro had a big turn- out of fans and a full team night They set a dazzling' pace but the Coca-Colas "went em 'one better" and it was a hectic lacrosse game, * + * Near the finish, Peterboro staged a 3-goal raly and their fans started to cheer for an- other last-period victory but Oshawa came back with 5 goals in the last 5 minutes and cinch- ed the verdict. Every player starred for Oshawa last night but the work of Stan Cook, Shime Bovin, Garrison in the nets, Baron and Eddolls, was especially outstanding, along with Armitage, McIntyre and the rest. * + Peterboro fans and players didn't | like the defeat too well! Palm Billiards and P.V. Ranchers Reds Get Back Play 5-5 Tie In Second Of Finals Game Called in | in 10th When: Darkness Overtakes Dur- ing Delay Caused by Col- lision Injury in Outfield -- Rival Hurlers Give Fine Display Palm Billiards and Pleasure Val- ley Ranch, finalists in the Inde- pendent Softball League, failed to reach a decision last night at Lake- view Park, when a slight mishap to one of the "Cues", coupled with fast approaching darkness, forced the game to be called with the score still 5-5. The game finished with Pleasure Valley at bat in the first half of the tenth inning, with two men out, a man on third base, and pit- cher Mullins up to bat. Black and Sutton, covering the outfield for the Billiardmen, had collided when catching a high fly ball by Gulliver, and Sutton was knocked out by the collision. By the time the un- fortunate fielder had been removed from the field, valuable time was lost, darkness was coming on, and by mutual consent the game was Rival Hurlers Shine A brilliant pitcher's duel between P.V.R.'s Mullins, and Melemeester for the Billiardmen, saw Mullins | allow but six hits, issue two free . passes, and whiff five, while "Hooch" allowed seven hits, walked three, and struck no less than twelve of the Ranchers. Each hurler showed special flashes of brilliance; Mullins |' in the last half of the ninth when the Billiardmen had a man on sec- ond base, with one out, and Mullins whiffed the next two to retire the side. Melemeester showed brilliance in the eighth when a walk, an er- ror and a single scored two runs, | left a man on second, with none out. The big Dutchman kept on throwing them in, next three batters, then struck out the first and fourth batters in the ninth, and the first batter in the tenth. , Only three men on the combined lineups managed to get more than a single hit, Gulliver being the only Rancher to get two hits, a triple and a single. For Palm Billiards, Reeson had a double and a single, while Gordie Thompson had the same combination for his two hits. The other five P.V.R. hits were se- cured by J. Hobbs, B. Hobbs, Jarvis end Mullins, while for Palm Bil- liards Dove and Sutton each had one. single. The game was particularly inter- esting one to the spectators, and gave a new significance to the playoff series between these two squads. A win for the Billiardmen would have given them a two game lead in the best three of five series but the brillant pitching, and prac- tically airtight backing, gave ample notice that the one-sided win scored by the Billiardmen ir the first con- test could be discounted a great deal. The next game will be played on Friday evening with the scene of patte yet to be decided.

MclIsaac started on the mound for Orono and after the 1st inning was pounded to all corners of the lot. In the 5th L.

Hughes on the mound, kept the Orono hits scat- tered till the Tth when they bunched 3 hits with a couple of Oshawa errors to score 5 of their 10 runs.

ON WRONG END OF TWO MORE Toronto, July 31, -- The Maple Leafs ran their losing streak to nine straight games at the Stad- fum last night, when six-hit pitch- ing efforts by Ted Kleinhans and Jack Tising gave Syracuse Chiefs victories by scores of 4-2 and 1-0. Fine mound work by Carl Fischer Pat McLaughlin was wasted the leafs bogged down on the attack, in the field, and on the bases. "A pair of unearned runs beat Fischer in the short twilight game. A towering home run by Gene Has- in the nightcap after he shut out the visitors over the regulation distance. Red Juelich was a constant both. er -to.the Leafs. The third-sacker | pounded out three singles in each game. However, none of his safe- ties was as damaging as the inten- tional pass he drew in the seventh inning of the opener. With Long- acre on second, by virtue of De- | jonghe's wild throw, Juelich was | passed to get McLeod The tall shortstop upset the strategy with a | double to right centre, scoring both | runners, with two out. Two men had been retired in the second and fifth before the Chiefs scored their other runs. An infield single by Juelich and passes to Deal, Kleinhans and Rosen forced in the first Syracuse run. The sec- | ond came on a double by Johnson and Longacre's single through the oor Into Win List New York, July 31.--Cincinnati Reds, who havent had a losing streak longer than three games this yesterday to stop a backslide of two straight games. It was Paul Derringer again who got credit for setting the Reds back on the right trail, although the real winning medium was a scoring outburst of four runs in a wild eighth inning that brought about the banishment of two men. Neither the Reds nor the Giants liked the umpiring in that inning, and Coach Jimmy Wilson of the champions and Relief Pitcher Walter (Jumbo) Brown of the Giants were sent to the showers for saying so. The score was tied as the Reds came to bat in the eighth, but they loaded the bases with a single, a sacrifice that turned out safe, and another single. Then Pinch Hitter Mike Dejan, a rookie, looked at a third strike and the Reds erupted around Umpire George Magerkurth, with the usual result. Fines Total $200 From Ball Feud New York, July 31, -- Manager Frankie Frisch, two of his Pitte- burgh Pirates players and Catcher Babe Phelps of rBooklyn Dodgers were fined a total of $200 yesterday by.

"Tannery" were full value for their win last night, scoring stead- ily in the first three innings to off- set a 3-run rally staged bj the vis- iting County Town team in their half of the second. Bye walked, Samansky walked. Gill forced him but Taffy Mayne came through with | a triple and scored on a double by Forrester. After that, Graham Clapp pitched steady ball for the leather- makers and was given brilliant sup- rt in the outfield and infield. hitby's only other run came in the fifth inning when DD. Bye was safe on a fielder's chopice"and came home on a two-bagger by Eddie | ed on a passed Samansky. po Prantl 13 Into Loop Finals Taffy Mayne, with a walk, triple and double in four trips, was easily the outstanding hitter for the Whit- by team, in fact the only batter who had more than one good success | @gainst Clapp's fine hurling. Made Hits Count Robson Leather made count. Shestowsky walked in first inning and Johnny Hraynyk promptly poled out one of his home- run blows, which he has beén get- ting in nearly every game, In tHe second, Cooper singled moved around the bases and scor- ball. McMaster's double, a walk and some infield outs their | and loose play by the Whitby field- ers, allowed Tannery to get two more runs in the third and they were never headed. In the fifth, J. Hraynyk singled, so did Gilbert, Yorkevitch was safe on & choice ana Cooper Dbiffed an "error" ball through the field to score three runs. Tannery's last run came on a two-bagger by Nick Hraynyk in the 8th inhing and he scored on a wild | pitch, J.

Cards Wallop Boston Bees Boston, July 31. -- Johnny Mize registered his twenty-seventh and twenty-eighth homers of the season yesterday while St. Louis Cardinals were overwhelming Boston Bees 13-5 in a slugfest. Mize rapped out his No. 1 homer when he opened the fifth inning against stanter Bill Posedel and collected his second one of the game against Al Javery in the ninth with Enos Slaughter on base. The Cards belted those Bees' twirlers for nineteen hits, includ- ing a homer by Ernie Koy and a triple by Don Padgett during their five-run stand against Posedel in the third inning. Lon Warneke held the Bees to ten hits, including a homer by Sebby Sisti and doubles by Max West, Ed- to 9. This marked the fifth victory by the Oshawa forces, out of six games with Peterboro this season. Spurred on by several recent last- minute victories, Peterboro's lacrosse fans were out in full force and thelr team was also at full strength. The game was @& rip-roaring tussle from start to finish, with both teams checking closely, sternly and with much vigor. Oshawa Jumps To Lead The visiting Motor City boys jumped into the lead after three minutes of watchful checking, when Eddolls took Barron's pass mede no mistake, from in-close. Bovin then went through alone to start off his great night's work. Cassidy got this one back on a shot from well out but Bovin then sprint- ed the length of the field, after in- tercepting a Peterboro pass at the Oshawa goal-mouth and he out- footed the entire Peterboro team, to score just before the bell. From then on, it was a ding-dong struggle. Oshawa held the lead at the end of every period, actually outplayed the Peterboro squad In every department. Brilliant passing on the attack and in mid-field was Oshawa's most effective move and through the entire game, the Coca- Colas passed the ball far and wide, keeping the home team continually on the run. Homesters Rally Tresiling 9-6 going into the last quarter, Oshawa got the first goal, Bovin setting up Barron nicely. Then Peterboro started their fam- ous last-period drive. Fresh subs kept pouring over the boards and the Peterboro management con- tinued to use fresh players all the time &s they kept up a blistering pace. The splurge netted Peterboro three quick goals and made the score 10-9. It looked as if they would go right through on mere momentum and the fans howled lustily for the tying goal. However, Garrison pulled off a brilliant save and then flung the ball down the field to Barron who went in alone angl scored to relieve the tension. Peterboro promptly faded away and in the last five minutes, Oshawa ran in five quick goals to turn the game, which was sctually close, into a one-sided ver- dict. die Miller and Johnny Cooney. and | Oshawa Coco-Colas Once More Defeat Strong Peterboro Team In Spirited, Close-Checking Ti Shine Bovin, Stan Cook, Frankie Eddolls and Chuck Barron were the outstanding heroes of the Oshawa win last night. A check of the scor- ing summary shows that they did the big share of the scoring but every other member of the team shared in the win. Pete Garrison) played brilliantly in the nets while Armitage and McIntyre were es- pecially effective on defense, Cook's hard work and play-making ac- counted for many goals while the) others all tried hard at all times.) They hed to work hard to keep the) Peterboro team at bay for they turned in a great effort. Gerry Creighton, Curtin and Miller gave Goalie Red Creighton good protec- tion and defensively the Petes were just as good as Oshawa. Up front, Pammett, Cassidy, Kivell, Ormiston and the Vitarelli brothers bore the brunt of the work but they were al- ways closely watched. While played hard, the game was a from dirty and only the usual amount of pensities were handed out.
