Pleasure Valley Ranchers Are Still In, WAR AN Features Ekes Out 10-9 Win Over Coca-Colas in Overtime Tussle Tonight there's the Junior semi-final softball game down at the Motor City stadium when Dixon's Ceal clash with Bill's Place and the Coal Heav- ers must win this game in order to prolong the series to the third game. Bill's Place will miss Frankie Eddolls tonight but if their players keep hitting hard and often as they have been doing, they'll be sure to pile up a lot of runs. * +o Dixon's Coal can play much bet- ter than they showed in the first game and if Romaneski, on the mound, hits his best stride tonight, they'll be tough to beat. At any rate, it should be a great softball strug- gle and those fans who like to see the Juniors in action should be on hand in full force. * + 0 Friday, tomorrow night, the Intermediates continue their semi-final series, with Whitby and Pepsi-Colas clashing again. It's Pepsi-Cola's home game to- morrow evening and they figure this will give them just enough edge to cop the verdict ovér the strong John's Place team. * + @ Pepsi-Colas are on the spot to- morrow night. They must beat Whitby or fold up tor the season. With their backs to the wall, such local softball veterans &s Preem Whiteley, Kitchen, Wib Hall, Don Cornish and the others, can be re- lied upon to put up u gallant figh:. +» + 9 In the Independent League finals, played last night at Lakeview Park, the P.V. Ranch- ers finally clicked. Palm Bil- Mards started their second- string hurler, who has been in- active for some weeks and the Ranchers promptly piled up an early lead and then went on to win. And so "Frank Lynn" and the "pitoher" went to the well once too often. They clash again Friday night and if Morely Mul- lens can repeat his fine hurling the Ranchers are apt to even up the count. * % 0 Oshawa girls won a softball tilt over the Bowmanville girls, right on Sheir own diamond, the other night. These two tesms play again this Monday at the Lakeview Park. *» Only one Juvenile tilt was played '3ast night, the Terriers winning and learning a neat win over the Moun. 'ties, to protect their grip on second 'place. This week settles the O.AS.A. {playoff berths and the Juvenile race 'is very close. Tonight Terriers and Bupertests will play off their post- poned game and it should be a thril- 'Jer-diller. + * 0 So much for the softball sit- uation. In the baseball world, Oshawa Seniors go to Toronto tonight and the fans up there are looking forward to a great mound duel between Art Upper of Riverdale Grads and Steamer Lucas of Oshawa, They meet in the second game of a twin-bill and the Grads meet Derbys in the first tilt. * + 0 If Oshawa can win tonight, they 'will make the race for second and sthird places awfully close for all the 'Toronto teams and put Peterbore Fight back in the running. Now the Petes are tied for third and need a win or two to clinch the spot. * * + Which brings us to the big news of the day. Peterboro visits Oshawa this Saturday afternoon for a double-header. Yes sir! There's to be a twin-bill here this Saturday and the admission price will be only 35 cents. Two games, one starting at 2:15 p.m. and the other at 4:15 pm, should give Oshawa ball fans the treat for which they have been waiting. Peterboro hasn't played here yet this year. + + » They were rained out on a pre- vious visit and as the rivalry be- tween these two old C.O.B.L. teams has slways been of the keenest var- lety, Saturday's double - header phould draw the biggest crowd of the year. * +b In the Big Leagues, we note that [Figers won again yesterday and Dodgers whipped the Giants again. Pittsburgh Pirates are going to make Jt interesting again apparently and jhe Reds losing to Cubs didn't help their chances much. * % Oshawa Coca-Colas lost an overtime decision 10-9 in Brook- lin last night. It was a tough one to lose. Penalties in the second and third period hurt Oshawa's chances a great deal, ' after they had built up a 3-1 lead in the first period and ap- peared to have the game in | hand. * + + It was rough, hectic and exciting, . ) typical Brooklin-Oshawa tussle. } About half of the crowd on hand | Big Mound Duel Slated Tonight Toronto, Aug, 8. -- The much- talked-of hurling duel between Art Upper of Riverdale Grads and "Steamer" Lucas of the leading Oshawa club is scheduled to take place tonight at Maple Leaf Stad- ium when the Motor City aggrega- tion tackle the second-place Grads in the second game of another Ine tercity Major Baseball League floodlight doubleheader. Lucas and Upper are former professional pit- chers, having been with the Toron- to Maple Leafs. Lucas is the lead- ing hurler in the Intercity circuit with four wins and one defeat, while Upper has won five and lost two. In the opening tilt of the twin- bill, Parkdale Derbys tackle the Grads, who are celebrating their special night at the stadium by tak- ing 'part in both games. Art Terry, brilliant Playground flinging star of last season, is slated to oppose the Grads for Pete Hastings' Der- bys. John Balley will supply Terry's opposition from the Riverdale mound. The first game starts at 7 o'clock and the second one at 9 o'clock. t Terriers Defeat Westmounties Pet Stock Terriers kept their grip on second place in the local Juve- nile softball race when they top- pled Westmount Mounties 9-3 over | at Bathe Park last night. Typical of most of the games, staged between these two clubs, this summer, it was a keen contest with not too much hitting and some very classy fielding. Mounties got their first run in the opening frame when Batton walked and scored on a hit by Parks, In the second inning, Rospond opened with a homer. Davey was safe oh a choice and he scored on Batton's hit. After that Morey tightened up and allowed only one hit for the remainder of the game and that batter was caught trying to stretch his single into a double, As it turned out, Morey hurled to only fifteen batters in the last five frames, Terriers gave their hurler splen- did support in the field to make this possible. At the plate, they punched across two runs in the first inning, Morey getting a ho- mer with one on base. In the third, Morey started it again with a dou- ble, Bathe doubled and so did W. Barker, then Calford singled to make it a 3-run rally and and Ter- riers were "in". They added g 4-run rally in the fifth inning when Bathe, W. Bar- ker, Dawson, Calford all bunched their hits in a row to make up the splurge. Morey, Bathe, Barker and Calford were the big hitters for the winners while nobody got more than one hit for Mounties.

Bisons Rally to Defeat Leafs Offerman Stadium, Buffalo, Aug. 8.~Coming from behind once more, the Bisons nipped the Toronto Maple Leafs here last night 4-2, for a fourth consecutive victory as Floyd Giebel kept ten hits well scat- tered and displayed his greatest effectiveness in the pinches. The Bisons picked on Pat Mc- Laughlin for an even dozen blows, with half of them being provided by Ollie Carnegie and Clyde Me- Cullough, the former having a per- fect record with a double, two singles and a walk, while the cat- cher caressed a double and two singles in four tries, , NORMAN HURDMAN DRAWS WITH YUSSEL GOLDSTEIN New York, Aug. 8 --~Normen Hurd- man, promising Toronto welter- weight, and Joseph (Yussel) Gold- stein of New York battled to a draw last night in a fast six-round bout at the Queensboro Arena.

Brooklin won in overtime but the game could quite easily have gone the other way. Oshawa snipers missed four or five glorious chances, in the dying moments of the game, hut it just wasn't their night. the bell #%inded to end the round.

Stark started on the mound for Oshawa but was re- placed by .M. Hughes when Bow- | manville began to hit. Homers were made by R. Prest, G. Holmes, D. Attersley of Oshawa and I. Johns and D.

Plenty of Penalties and Action As Homesters Grab Last-Minute Victory Away from Oshawans Homesters Rally in Last Quarter to Take Lead But Oshawa Ties Score Just Before Regulation Time PROSSER GETS TWO GOALS IN OVERTIME Oshawa Snipers Miss Glori- ous Chance with Score Tied in Overtime--Pen- alties Hurt Oshawa in Middle Two Periods Oshawa Coca-Colas lost a tough decision in Brooklin last night when the home forces outscored the "Cokes" two to one in the 10-min- ute overtime period to eke out a 10-9 victory. It was a hectic struggle from start to finish with the homesters checking hard and the Oshawans | play équally rugged. The Motor | City team, playing superb defensive Macrosse, built up a 3-1 lead in the first period and appeared headed for a win but they ran into real trouble early in the second period. A penalty to goatle Pete Garrison started the trouble away and then "Shine!" Bovin, who had just pre- | vio y been cut across the mouth | and eye, drawing blood, checked | back stiffly and was promptly given a penalty by Ref. Davis. In blind rage, Bovin made the mistake of swinging at the official, the blow landed and he was given a match penalty, with the team being pen- alized for five minutes, Penalties to McIntyre and Oke followed in quick succession, along with two to Brooklin, W. Vipond and goalet Bradley drew penalties. Oshawa played short-handed for all but three minutes of the second period and in that time, Brooklin oute scored Oshawa to make it 4-3. In the third period, penalties again came thick and fast and Brooklin got the only two goals of the period, Graham and Carr scoring to put their team in front. The fourth period was a hectic session from start to finish. Both teams played wide-open lacrosse. Kennie Sanders made a lone rush to get one goal back and then passed to Barron who scored nicely to put Oshawa in front again. Then Brooklin staged a great rally, getting three gosls in suc- cession by Prudholme, Cooper and Prosser to climb out in front again by two goals. Stan Cook weaved his way in close to get one back at the 10-minute mark and just before the final whistle, Cook passed to Sanders who made no. mistake, ty- ing the score. In the overtime, Prosser got away loose to score on Graham's pass. Cook got this one back on a pass from Oke but Prosser again got away from his check and beat Gar- rison with a neat shot to put Brook- lin ahead again. Oshawa came back hard and bombarded Brooklin from every angle. Sanders, Barron and Cook all hit the goalie from point-blank range and then in the last seconds of play, Campbell stole a Brooklin pass, relayed the ball to Barron in front of the net but Bradley made a great stop to save the game just as the bell sounded. Defensively, Coga-Colas turned in a great game with Salter, Mc- Intyre and Campbell all giving Gar- rison great protection. Up front, Kennie Sanders and Stan Cook were Oshawa's outstanding players of the night, with all the others turning in good games. For Brook- lin, Graham, Cooper, L. Vipond and Prosser, with his two goals in the overtime, were the stars.
