The Eddolls- Barron-Bovin trio scored no fewer than twelve goals on their own ac- count and up to the time the final whistle had blown the Petes had found no effective way of keeping the three off thy score sheet. The home talent battled all the way, and in the final period clined to within one goal of sewing up the game, only to have Oshawa break loose with five fast counters in the closing stages to settle effictively the question of which was the bet- ter team on the night's play." * + The above paragraph, taken from ! the Peterboro sports page, indicates .that writer's opinion of the game the other night. + + » We Woliue. wows wile Brook- lin sporis wrier wai nave 10 say about tomgntl's pig game at the Motor Cily »>diavium.

Not only do | they need a win to bolster their grip on second place but besides that, they haven't beaten Brooklin yet this summer. Of course, they've cnly played two games, the other having been all rained out, but just the same, the Motor City squad wants a victory tonight. * +» With Bro.suu iacrosse fans on hand too to swell the crowd, there should be one of the big- gest attendaaces of the season. The locals are hovering danger- ously near the "red line" Irom a financial veiwpoint and a big erowd would be welcomed by the club treasurer. + + ' Three Juvenile softball games were seeled off last night. Lyons de- feated Victors, as expected, but vikings were conceded a good chance to take Supertests. How- ever, the "Oilers" won a 9-5 de- cision at Lakeview Park and that defeat just about kills Vikings' chances of getting into the O.A.8.A. playdowns. In the other game, Terriers blanked Mounties, 15-0 in e& game previously postponed. * + 4 TWo impoliaiiv gues are listed for the Juveniles on Friday night.

TIGERS EE OUT WIN OVER YANKS IN ELEVENTH Detroit, Aug. 1. -- Detroit Tigers remained in a deadlock for the Am- | erican League lead yesterday by [ wriggling to a 7-6 eleven-inning | victory over New York Yankees and thereby ending a three-game losing streak. It was a wierd game lasting near- ly three hours and requiring the Tigers to come from behind four times before they finally victimized Relief Pitcher Lefty Gomez on two | walks and a single by Hank Green- berg. The Tigers thought they had won the game in the eighth inning when | Pinky Higgins tripled with the bases loaded to put them in front 5-4. But the Yankees moved back | on top in the ninth, when George Selkirk, batting for pitcher Spud Chandler, hit a home run with one | on. As soon as Johnny Murphy, who saved yesterday's game for Red Ruffing, went to the mound in the ninth, Pinchhitters Earl Avertll and | Billy Sullivan singled and Bruce Campbell knocked in the tying run with another single. That's when | Gomez came in. He walked Green- | berg to fill the bases, but got the Tigers out with no further damage | until the eleventh. |. | Little Tommy Bridges held the Yanks to eight hits during the regu- lar nine-inning route and fanned eleven, "including Charley Kellar | three times in a row. But he was | betrayed by three errors, two of | them being throws to centrefield by | Catcher Birdie Tebbetts trying to | cateh runners at second and one of them a two-base muff by Short- stop Dick Bartell.

It was a dramatic climax to a previously one-sided struggle that seemed certain to go into Walters' bag as his sixteenth triumph of the year. Instead it became his sixth defeat and second straight. Frank McCormick had hit a home run with one on in the first inning to send the Reds off in front and Bill Werber added another round- tripper in the fifth with the bases empty, while two singles sandwich- ed around a sacrifice, an intentional walk and a force out were good for another tally in the sixth. During all this time Walters man- aged to evade any serious catas- trophe, although he wasn't at his peak and put runners on base in every inning except one, and gave up a run in the fifth. His customary control was miss- ing and he served five bases on balls, three of them eventually turning into runs. Tony Cuccinello waited out a walk at the start of the fifth, looped to third on Mickey Witek's double down the left foul line, and scored on a grounder by Bob Seeds. When the Giants' storm broke in the ninth Waiters had two out and a count of two strikes and one ball on Seeds. Then he walked Seeds. whom Whitehead brought. home with a "polo grounds" homer into the short right field stands. Mel Ott then was walked and Danning stalked to the plate, took a called strike, fouled one, and sent the crowd into ecstacy by smashing nd.

CHICAGO CUBS LOSE GAME AND AUGIE GALAN Philadelphia, 'Aug. 1. -- Chicago Cubs went down to a costly 7-3 de- Phillies yesterday as Outfielder Augie Galan suffered a fractured left knee crash- ing against a concrete wall. He probably will be out for the remain- der of the season. Galan was chasing a foul fly off the bat of Herman Schulte in the fifth inning when he hit the wall. He was removed to hospital, where X-rays disclosed the injury. Galan"s mishap followed a minor cne for Manager Gabby Hartnett. The Cub catcher was struck on the head by Mel Mazzera's bat in the second inning and left the game. He continued to direct the team from the bench. Johnny Rizzo's fourteenth home run sent Hugh Mulcahy on the road to his twelfth victory of the season. Rizzo's blow came in the fourth with two aboard to give the Phils a 3-0 lead and the Cubs never caught up. The Phils gleaned only six hits off Joe Mooty and Bill Lee, but were aided by Cub errors. The Chicagoans toucher Mulcahy for nine, including Hank Teiber's eleventh homer in the ninth inning chasing one man across. KEEPS TRIBE TIED FOR TOP Cleveland, Aug. 1. -- A four-run rally in the eighth inning gave Cleveland Indians a 12-11 victory in a slugfest with Boston yesterday and kept the Tribe tied with De- troit for first place in the American League.

OUT OF CELLAR Terriers Score Heavy Shoutout Pet Stock Terriers swamped Wes'- mount Mounties by a score of 1b to 0 last night in a game, which had been previously postponed. It was Terriers all the way last night and from the time they scor- ed two runs in the second inning, the issue was never in doubt. Cal- ford's triple, with Dawson and W. Barker on the paths, did the trick. E. Barker's triple played a big part in the next two runs to be scored. Two more runs followed in the 4th inning and then three in. the fifth on a triple by McKay, following hits by Bathe, Dawson and Calford. Terriers kept going along with runs every inning and Calford's triple | and @ couple of Mountle errors gave | the winners two more runs in the last inning. Mounties, on the other hand, could do very little against Morey's steady pitching and the airtight | support he received from his Ter- | rier mates. Twice the Mounties got | a man as far as third base out they | couldn't score. Morey allowed only three hits in the entire game and | the inning, the third. | Calford, with two triples and a couple of singles, had a periect night at. the plate while Dawson had three hits 'and a walk !n three | trips. All of the winners had a. least one safe blow. MOUNTIES--Batton, 2b; Winters, 3b; Vann, cf; Valentine, ss; Ros- pond, lf; LaBrash, 1b; Da'ey, rf; | Brudek, ¢; McKee, p; Parks, Ii.

The Leafs ended a nine- game losing streak by shading the Chiefs in the fourteen-inning open- er 6 to 5 and came from behind to gain a 6-6 tie in the nightcap. The second game was called «t the end of the seventh to allow Syracuse to make train connections. I Timely clubbing by John Tyler and Eric Tipton and Jim Walkup's fine relief work were prominent features in Leafian play. Tyler's single ended the opening game in the fourteenth. Tipton drove in & pair of runs in each game with a double and triple, and Walkup did a seven-inning shutout job after relieving Les McCrab in the scheduled seven-inning first game. Successive doubles by Leip and Rosen gave the Chiefs a first-in- ning run off McCrab in the opener. Deal's triple opened a two- run splurge in the second and three singles and a walk gave the Chiefs a fourth run in the sixth. Johnson peppered a homer over the right field fence to complete scoring for the visitors in the seventh. Walkup held the Tribemen to four singles, all of the infield variety for the last seven frames. Three of them were bunched in the eleventh with no damege resulting. Walkup retired the last ten batters to face him, although Clifton and Latshaw helped with spectacular catches. The Leafs bumped Lloyd Dietz for two runs in the second on sin- gles by Latshaw, Tipton and Mc- Crabb, with an error by McLeod. Two more crossed the plate in the third when Tipton's long double fol- lowed singles by Chapman and Clif- ton, Jack Tising was the victim as the Lazzerimen evened the count Toronto, Aug.
