. PAGE TWO THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, MONDAY, AUGUST 12, 1940 Terriers and Lions Local Today's Sporting Features Pepsi-Colas Even Up Series With Whitby Open Series Tonight Yachters Hold Races Over Week-End a TT Sports attractions for this ev- ening include three Minor League lacrosse games at the Motor City Stadium, starting at 6.30 pm., and, of course, the Juvenile playoff game at Alex- andra Park, booked to start at the same hour. * +» 'Lacrosse fans can watch their sport at the Stadium and if they have a "late supper" and still want to see some gutted-stick entertain- ment, they can always go out to Brooklin for the big game tonight. | Oshawa Coca-Colas invade Brooklin | tonight and it should be another grand tussle, after that overtime game there last week. +o In the Juvenile softball ranks, Lions won a game on Friday night 'over Mounties while the Pet Stock Terriers also won their tilt: with Victors. This leaves Lions in first and Terriers in second so tonight, they'll open their 2-out-of-3 game series, to decide which team will represent Oshawa in the Juvenile playdowns of the O.A. S.A. * + * The first game is tonight, at Alexandra Park and the return tilt will be at Bathe Park this Wednesday evening. Should a third game be necessary, they'll play it on Friday night, likely at Lakeview Park. * + + It should be a great series be- tween Terriers and the Lions to de- cide which team will represent Oshawa in the Ontario playdowns. Right now the Terriers are playing their best brand of ball and the in-and-out Lions will have to be at gheir best to survive the series. * * +» Meanwhile, the other Juvenile Seams will go right along with their schedule, except that Lions and ers are excused from playing fleague games this week. This means that only one game is booked for Monight, with Supertests visiting Jthe Mounties at Stevenson's Park, Gibbon Street. : * + / In the Junior ranks, Dixon's Coal and Bill's Place will settle their semi-final series on Tues- day (tomorrow night) at the Motor City Stadium. It's the third and deciding game be- tween these clubs and it should be a great struggle. Dixon's are back in stride now and should be able to hold their own with the heavy-hitting Bill's Place team. ¢ + Dixon's and Bill's Place were to have settled their semi-finals to- ht but the Stadium is taken up i the Minor Lacrosse League teams. However, both teams have a large following of fans and there will likely be a big crowd at the Stadium on Tuessday to see these two strong clubs fight it out for the right to meet Westmount Broncs in the finals. * + 4 In the Intermediate finals, Pepsi- Colas came back to even up the gount on Friday night with a 11-9 win over John's Place. Now the Whitby boys and Pepsi-Colas will bave to play a third and deciding game to see who meets Tannery in the finals. The third game of the semi-finals will be on Thursday night at the Stadium and it will be a rare old battle from start to finish. +* 4% Preem Whiteley was in great form Friday night to beat Whitby and what was more held on to win out. * bb The Independent Softball League feclared their championship on Friday night, at Lakeview Park and the Palm Billiards won the honors. We "called" the Cues to cop the title some weeks ago and one of our reasons at that time was that we had heard, via the underground wire, that all was not serene in the "bunk-house" of the P. V. Ranch- ers. On Friday night. some ill-ad- vised remarks were hurled at the Palm hurler from thé P. V. R. bench and instead of it bothering Melemeester, he ciiy got mad and worked all the harder--which re- sulted in a championship for the Cues and defeat for the Ranchers. B+ + They've had a keen season of rivalry in this Independent League and the summer's sport has pro- vided many softball players a chance to get action where other- wise they would have been on the side-lines. Next year, no doubt, the Pleasure Valley boys will be back with a stronger club in an effort to regain their own trophy and they'll get opposition from new entries as well. + + And that takes care of the local softball situation--except to remind you there's a girls' game down at Lakeview Park tonight. * + » Lawn bowlers and golfers, as well as the local yacht club boys, all had a very busy week-end and it can be easily seen that the summer sport activities are now at their peak. J * + + There's a senior baseball game here tomorrow evening. River- dale Grads are coming to Osh- awa for a twilight game. Frank- ly, we don't think twilight games are any good in this man's town but then, every- thing must be given a fair trial and as the Inter-City League officials are pushed for time, Mgr. "Peg" Hurst consented to try a twilight game here. * bb One thing can be said about to- morrow night's game. At least, the opposition is worth-while. The Grads, we think, are still the team to beat among the Toronto entries and right now they are making a great stab for second place in the final standing... ... * + » Oshawa Seniors need one more win in- order to clinch first place and they would like nothing better than to get that victory at the ex- pense of the Grads, right here to- morrow evening at Alexandra Park, 6:15 o'clock. * +. The locals split their twin-bill with Peterboro on Saturday. Geo. Clark limited Oshawa to only two hits in the first game and his mates, paced by Coach Red Kearns, bunched their hits to trounce the homesters 8-1, + + + In the second half of the bill, Steamer Lucas won another game even though he gave up 14 hits in only seven innings. He kept them scattered and always managed to tighten up just when one more hit would have meant a lot of damage. A couple of brilliant double plays also helped his defensive cause, On the other hand, the Oshawa boys bunched their 9 hits for two big scoring rallies and thus took the verdict, 8-4. * + » The one win may give Peterboro fourth place, depending on how the other Toronto teams make out this week. Actually the Petes needed both games to cinch fourth place but they still have a mathematical chance. * + # It is expected, since Petes are finished with their schedule and Oshawa has two idle Saturdays coming up, that Oshawa and Peterboro will now play a home and-home series, double-head- ers each Saturday, for the C.O. B.L. championship trophy, the Johnson Cup, at present held by the Petes. The first twin-bill may be here next Saturday. Challedon Wins Hollywood Gold Cup Here. comes Challedon--and there he goes! i That's all there was to it. The Hollywood Gold Cup was a race that left 36,391 paid fans stun- ned as Challedon won going away. ABOVE at the fiinish line it's Chal- ledon the winner with Specify second in the $50,000 Hollywood Gold Cup race. Challedon paid his backers $7.40 for $2. Terries Clinch Second Spot By Beating Victors Pet Stock Terriers pounded out a doubled score victory over Victors, 16-8, on Friday night at Alexandra ! Park, and the win cinched second a bid for O.AS.A. competition. Six runs in the opening inning got the Teriers away to a flying start. Kewin and Morey walked ! and Barker was safe on an error. | Then Bathe, Smeagle both singled, | Dawson walked and before the dust runs had crossed. E. Barker tripled in the second and scord on an outfield error. In the third inning, Dawson, Calford and Kewin all crossed the plate and then Smeagle and Dawson scored runs on hits in the fourth to make it 12-8. From there on it was easy, Terriers added two more in the 5th and 6th both. Victors started well and after get. ting three runs In the first frame on four walks and a lone hit by Hobbs, they scored four in the sec- ond inning when Crossman singled, Love tripled, Bryant walked, Hicks flied out, Morphy singled, Andrews walked, Hobbs doubled, Baxter walk- ed and the last three were left on bases when Wragg fanned. After that Morey bore down and they got only one more run, on hits by Bryant and Morphy, in the third frame. Terriers tightened up in the field too and finished the game, go- ing away.

Lions Defeat Westmounties In Short Game 1] Lions nosed into the top berth again on Friday night with a 19-12 victory over the Westmount Mount- ies, on the latter's home diamond. Late in starting, both teams staged lengthy rallies and the re- sult was that the game had to be called on account of darkness at the end of the fifth inning. Mounties came out of their scor- ing famine in the fourth inning when they scored five runs o ree hits and some walks and 3 Batten, Miners and Vann did the hitting. In the fifth inning, Mount- ies again scored five runs, this time with the ald of four hits, by Davey; Lebrash, Miners and Valen. tine, Lions had it easy at the plate, They pushed across three tallies in the opening frame and then staged an 8-run rally in the second inning that just about spoiled the interest. Walks and timely hitting produced the runs and they continued for four more counters in the third in- ning. They missed in the fourth but scored four more in the fifth frame, Almost all of the Lion's managed to get at least one safe hit or a walk during the five innings while Batten, Vann, LaBrash and Valen- tine hit will for the losers.

Catharines, Aug. 12. -- St. Catharines Transports stayed hard on the heels of the league-leading Niagara Falls Brights by defeating Welland Nationals, 5-1, here Sat- urday afternoon. It was the third victory for the Saints in four games with Welland this season and the loss left the Nationals in a precar- ious position as far as the play- offs are concerned. Hal Mingo pitched brilliantly for the Saints, holding Nationals to six hits and striking out eleven. Mel- enkoff, who fielded sensationally for the Nats, was also their most successful batter, the only Welland hitter to get two blows off Mingo's slants. Air-tight support kept Mingo in command of the situa- tion. MAJOR LEAGUE LEADERS BATTING G. AB. R. H. Pct.

Pepsi-Colas were full value for their win and did some heavy hit- ting in order to get their runs. For the first six innings, their speedball ace, "Preem" Whiteley, completely handcuffed the Whitby team and thanks to the hitting of he and his mates, the Pepsi's had a 10-1 lead going into the 7th inning. However, Whitby were far from finished. Their first run had been scored on @ triple by Ab. Samanski followed by E. Samanski's single, in the very first inning. After that, Kapasincski hit a double in the second inning and that's the only hit they got until the Tth. inning. Whiteley fanned nine batters in the five innings, 2nd to 6th Inclusive and was on top, all the way. Whitby Rallies In the Tth, Whitby opened with Mayne's single. Law hit a double and Kapasineski also hit a two- bagger. An infield error by Taylor, gave Spencer a life and allowed the third run of the inning to score. Pepsi-Colas came right back with one tally In their 7th. Cornish doubled and was thrown out by a great throw to 3rd base. Thomson hit a triple and scored on a wild pitch. In the 8th, Whitby got two more runs when Bye singled, Samanski doubled and both scored on Law's second two-bagger in succession. With the score 11-6, the Pepsi- Colas didn't even worry then but Whitby made it very close when they cut loose in the 9th. Gill was thrown out but A. Samanski singled. Hercia wis out on a grounder to first-base, Bye walked wnd then E. Samanski hi} another double, scoring the two runners and he scored on Mayne's bingle but Law struck out to end the game. ° Jumped Into Lead Esen with their nine hits in the last three innings, the Pepsi-Colas still puthit Whitby 14 to 12, Their big ining was the opening frame when they scored five runs. Covert opened with a single and Hall bunt- ed safely. Kitchen also bunted safely when the play to 3rd base was too slow to catch Covert. Taylor fanned but Whiteley's screaming triple with the bases loaded, started the scoring for Pepsi's. Lewis hit a double and then he scored on a two-bagger by Cornish. In the third inning, Taylor, first batter, clouted out a terrific homer, the only four-ply blow of the eve- ing. In the fourth, Pepsi-Colas again loaded the bases on a single by Little, a walk to Hall and an error by Hercia. Taylor bunted for an attempted "Squeeze" but Little was nipped at the play when Kapacinski made a clever play. Whiteley's single however scored Hell and a two-bagger by Lewis scored Kitchen and Taylor. An error by Law gave Covert two bases in the fifth and he scored when Hall clouted a two-bagger. Hall, with three hits, Whiteley, with a triple and single, Lewis, with two doubles and Cornish with twg doubles, were the hig hitters for the winners but every single player on the club had at lect one safe blow. A. Samanski, E. Samanski, with three hits, Mayne, Law and Kapas- inski were the big hitters for Whitby. WHITBY :-- A. Samanski, ss; Hercla, 2b; D. Bye, 3b; E.

Playing their last games of the schedule, Peterboro needed two wins in order to clinch a playoff berth but as it is, even the one victory may enable them to finish ahead of Parkdale Derbys or Good Rich and so catch fourth place. Oshawa's win, however, put them in the happy position where they can still finish tied for first, even if they lose all their remaining games, three. Gee Clark Shines Gee Clark, youthful Peterboro flinger, and Red Kearns, speedy out- fielder and acting manager of the Petes, were the heroes of the visi- tors' victory. Clark allowed only two hits in the seven innings he worked and they both came in the first frame, when Oshawa got their orphan tally. Johnny Kitchen clout ed a triple to right-field and scored on a hit by Red Jubenville, That concluded Oshawa's hitting for that game and despite a couple of walks and as many errors, Clark was never in serious trouble again, not an- other runner ever reaching third base. Actually, Red Kearns won the game in the opening. Whatley was safe on Jubenville's bad throw and Kearns hit into right-field for a homer, 'After that, Frank McGarry held the Petes in complete check until the 6th inning. He allowed only one hit in that period but in the sixth frame, he weakened. Whatley walked, then Kearns, Mur- phy and G. Clark all singled. Bur- ton flied out and then Kingdon singled to complete a 4-run rally. The Petes added two more runs on two hits in the 7th and their rally ended with the bases loaded. Kearns, with three hits in four trips, was his team's big hitter. Defensive Skill Both clubs uncorked some bril- liant defensive play with Dolly Dal- ton and Red Jubenville hogging the limelight for Oshawa while Kearns, Kingdon and Murphy were the work-horses for the winners. SECOND GAME Steamer Lucas went to the mound for Oshawa in the second tilt, with Maxie Yourth taking Dalton's spot at short and Jack Fair going to centre. Gunner Whitehill got the hurling assignment for the Petes but although his mates outhit Osh. awa by a wide margin, 14 to 9, he was chalked with a defeat because Lucas always managed to halt the Petes before they could do too much damage in any one inning while on the other hand, Oshawa bunched their hits to puild up big scoring ral- lies. The first one was in the open- ing frame when Yourth walked and Kitchen was safe on a fumbled ball at 1st. Doc Rowden sacrificed the runners and both scored on a hit by Jubenville. He scored wh Matthews connected for a hig Wallace hit into a force, While Petes were trying--and missing, attempted double-play, Jubenv. went from 2nd to the plate. In third, Ma drove in anoth run, his two-bagger scoring Ro den all the way from 1st. base. Big Rally Does It It was going into the last of 4th. The visitors had scored ol run in each of the first four sta the first on two hits by A.
