But there is no joy in Cedardale--the "Tannery" have gone out! + + » It's a case of "always a brides- maid and never a bride" for the Robson Leather squad. Geo. Jacobi"s "Tannery" teams have beer in the city senior softball playoffs for several years now, but have yet to cop a cham- pionship. In the last two sea- sons they have set the pace all through the schedule as league- leaders, only to fail in the fin- als. There's one thing they must be given credit for--they never quit trying. * + * To our old fren<s in "The Dale", Ernie Little, Bob McDonald. Hughie, Stevie, Ward Pankhurst and the rest of the fifth columnist--beg pardon, fifth ward brigade, we ex- tend our sympathies. Better luck next time! * + + * Pepsi-Colas eamed their championship last night. There was no doubt in last night's game as to which was the better team. The Pepsi's not only out- hit their rivals bu; they got them in bunches, made them count for runs and they made the most of their chances, be- sides playing the better brand of defensive ball. * + # Whiteley was in rare form and until his mates gave him a 5-run lead in the 6th inning, he limited Tannery to only two hits, one a homer, in the first five frames. Knox also held Pepsi's to one run until the 6th inning but then came the deluge and in the 7th he had to give way to Clapp, who took over the hurling duties. * * Matthews and Covert were the big hitters for Pepsi-Colas last night but the entire team figured in the two big rallies which settled the issue. Gilbert, Skinty and O'Reilly did the big hitting for Tannery but there wasn't enough of it to make up for the Pepsi barrage. *> 9 And so the Pepsl-Colas, as Oshawa's Intermediate cham- pions, will represent this city in the playdowns for Ontario hor ors and the first game of the first-round series, is in Peter- bore tomorrow evening, with the return game back in Oshawa at the Stadium on Friday night. To oust Tannery, Pepsi?Colas won the 5-game series with three wins ary a tie against one defeat. * + + Quakers and Hastings were com- peting in the finals in Peterboro put after losing two games on Sat- urday, Hastings decided to stay in their Intermediate C rating and so it's Quakers to represent Peterboro against Oshawa Pepsi-Colas Among our old friends on the Peterboro line-up are Pat Calladine, chatter- box catcher, Eddie Starr, peppery third-baseman, Scriber, at 1st base, Foster, speedy centrefielder and Shine, their ace hurler, the iaddie with the "hula-hula" wind- ap. *> ¢ * Westmount Broncs, Oshawa's smart Junior sol.ball team, plays the second game of their series, irr Belleville this evening, * + Juvenile the Oshawa's entry, Lions, played in Long Branch last | n'eht and were leading 7-2 when | the game was called .in the 5th in- ning on account of darkness. They are going back again tonight and intend to start the game much earlier. Long Branch plays here in Oshawa at Alexandra Park on Wednesday evening * + * Brooklin lacrossers won their first game of the finals right in East York by a 9-7 score last night. * + » In the Inter-City baseball semi-finals, Peterboro hit a stag, in fact, they practically wrecked themselves "on the rocks" when they lost boh games of a twin-bill last night in Toronto. Now Parkdale Der- bys and Riverdale Grads clash tonight and should one club win both games torvight, they'll be in the finals with Oshawa and the semi-ginals will be all over. , It they split tonight both teams play in Peterboro on Saturday. r +» - Naney Murrall, Oshawa's girl sprinter, who runs for the Toronto Lakesides Club, yesterday won the 100-yard sprint at the C.N.E. and defeated her own clubmate and chum, the Canadian champion, Helen Morrison. NANCY MURRALL NOSES OUT CHUM IN C.N.E. SPRINT 'Toronto, Aug. 37.--Perhaps un- wittingly but certainly not unwill- ingly, track and field's younger ele- ment played to the largest crowd of this or gny other track season yesterday afternoon in front of the C.NE. grandstand when an assem- blage of close to 25,000 persons saw the Junior Athletic Day program. Favored by near perfect weather and a fast track the youngsters put forth their best efforts even if a large part of the Young Canada Day gallery was more absorbed at times with the antics of gymnasts and clowns on the centre platform than whether the athletes could do the 100 in 11 seconds. Another record of sorts was es- tablished, one ribbon bedecked offi. cial reminded. All events were run off on the minute scheduled on the program. It was a disjointed card, part. of the events being run off prior to the Lucky Teeter afternoon show and the remainder after the dinner hour, Hclen's First Defeat Only upset of any proportion dur- ing the thirty-one-event card was the defeat of Helen Morrison, On~ tario junior girls' sprint champion in the 100-yard final. The pretty, matter of inches to clubmate Nancy the crowd roared its approval of the girls' p2rformance. It wes Miss Morrison's first loss this season. but she made no at- temnt to alibi. Mies Murrall is not only a clubmate, but the two are chums and do their 'training to- gether, SCALZ0 WHIPS PERRIN New Orleans, Aug. 27. -- Petey Scalzo, the National Boxing Asso- ciation'; featherweizht champion, g2ined 5 clean-cut ten-round deci- "fon her» l2st night over Jimmy Parrin. the Louisiana-recognized titlehol er.

Bowmanville held the edge in the first 8 innings only to have Oshawa go ahead in the fifth by 2 runs. Roamers came right back with 7 runs in the.sixth but the Blues evened the count and went ahead by 3 runs. The seventh inning saw both team's rooters right on their toes with Cal Braun of Bowman- ville and "Ben" McCabe of Oshawa being the big guns. The Roamers again tied the score and went ahead by 3 runs. The Oshawa heavy hit- ters came to bat and the first four batters crossed the plate to win the game for the Blues, M. Hughes, who had held the Bowmanville batters at bay for most of the season, proved no puzzle as the Roamers hit the ball hard to all comers of the field and only the heavy hitting of the Oshawa team won them the game. Homers by F. Clarke and R. Prest with 2 aboard proved to be the highlights of the game, with a good perform- ance being put on In the field and at bat by all players. Due to the short evening and holidays the play-offs in the league have been cancelled and the cham- pionship ceded to the Oshawa Blues since they hold a long mar- gin over the Roamers in the mat- ter of wins and losses. During the game Cal Braun, district organizer, called members of both teams along with those who had helped the teams behind the scenes to the centre of the diamond where D.D.HC.R. Bro. H. B. Mc- Cabe read letters of thanks to Capt. Francis Clarke of Bowmanville Roamers and Capt. Sophie Snowden of the Oshawa Blues for their sup- port in putting the name of the Canadian Order of Foresters in the headlines of clean sport in Oshawa and district. BOWMANVILLE ROAMERS -- J.

Although there has been no defi- nite announcement, it is the belief of the Lake Shore players going to Niagara Falls that Rosy Rozzinl and Roy Heximer, two mainstays with Sudbury Miners: last season, will also be in the Cataract camp when the training season opens, During the Sudbury-Lake Shore playofi last February Rozzini and Heximer were the two ouistemding Nickei Belt players against the Blue Devils. GREYHOUND LOSES FIRST HEAT--TAKES NEXT TWO, WIN OUT Syracuse, N.Y. Aug. 27.--Cham- pion Greyhound su'fered his first defeat of the season in the Grand Circuit inaugural program here yes- terdzy, but it was cnly a temporary setback, as, after losing the initial heat to Peter Astray the great grey gelding came back to take the sec- ond and third heats handily. Peter Astra, driven by Dr. H. M. Parsheel, overhauled Greyhound with a brilliant stretch drive when it seemed nothing could halt an- other parade for tie E. J. Baker gelding. In the next two heats, how- ever, Greyhound's driver, the vel- eran Sep Palin, let Peter Astra and Bravo cut out the early peace, and then the champion had more than enough to come {rom behind and win breezing.

Hal Trosky and Bob Feller did the job. Trosky drove in three of his team's four runs with a homer and a single, and Feller saved the game when he came to Mel®Harder's aid in the seventh, Nceding a run to tie the score, the Senators got Rick Ferrell on second with only one out when Feller was rushed in. The speed-baller forced George Case to pop to Ken then disposed of Buddy Lewis on a grounder. He retired the Senators in order in the eighth and got the first men out in the ninth. Then came trouble. Feller walked Pinch-hitter Buddy Myer, Rick Ferrell popped up, but the Cleveland hurior then gave free passes to Pinch-hitter Jake eariy and George Case. With the bases full he settled down and Buddy Lewis ended the game with a weak fly to Ben Chapman. Trosky hit a homer with Roy Weatherly on base in the first inning.

Outhitting the Robson Leather team sad bunching their hits for two big rallies in the 6th and 7tn innings, the Pepsi-Colas took a clean-cut decision over their Cedar- dale rivals at the Motor City Sta- dium last night anc concluded the final series at three victories to one, with a tied gene thrown in. Better Club Wins There was no dJdoubt about thea outcome last night, once the Pepsi's started to get rolling. It was a nip- and-tuck softball battle for five in- nings, with the score 1-1 and then Pepsi-Colas broke out in their han of the sixth frame to score five rune, take the lead snd they were never headed. Herbie Cooper hit « homer in the third inning for Tannery. Other than a single by Johnny Hraynyk, that was the only hit they had off Whiteley in the first five innings. The big speedballer was in rare form last night and the two hits aad lone tally were all that he gave Tannery in the first half of the game, as he sipped his fast one.dn.on.the corn- ers. After his mates built up the big lead in the 6th, he seemed to ease off a little but the leather-msiers were never able to really get rolling. Big Rally Wins Title Pepsi-Colas big rally in the 6th won the championship. Moose Mat- thews started it off with a homer. Taylor struck out but Whiteley was safe when Skinty dropped a throw to 1st. Cuvert singled, Little hit a two-begger and the runs started to roll across the plate. Cornish grounded to the infield but Covert was safe when the catcher dropped the ball, after making the "tag." Campbell singled to score Little and Cornish scored when Hall grounded to the infield and Campbell was nipped at the plate. Trailing 6-1, Tannery jumped back into the running in their own half of the inning when Gilbert singled and then with two men out, O'Reilly hit a double and Nick Hraynyk lofted one over the fence for a homer, making it 6-4. Pepsi-Colas continued their at- tack in the 7th inning to drive Wgjt Knox from the mound. Kitchen opened the frame with & walk and Matthews singled. Taylor singled, scoring Kitchen. Whiteley hit to the infield and a fumbled ball at 3rd left everybody sate. Covert doubled to score Matthews and Taylor. Whiteley scored after there were two out when Skinty dropped Campbell's pop fly, to make it 10-4. Tannery got one run in the Tth, after two out, when Yorkevitch singled sad scored on a lusty triple by Gilbert. Graham Clapp, who had gone to the mound in the middle nf the 7th, retired Pepsi-'s without a run in the 8th and then in the last of the 8th, Tannery had two hits by O'Reilly and Skinty but Whitely started to bear down and he fanned Clapp and Shestowski to end the geme and season for Tannery. Roy Covert, with a single, triple 'and double in four trips, and Moose Matthews, with three hits in five trips, one a homer, were the two best hitters of the night and paced the winners' attack. Little had two hits while Campbell, Hall, Taylor and Cornish had the other bingles in the Pepsi-Cola total of twelve. Tannery got eight ~f their ten hits in the last three frames, with Gil- bert, O'Reiily and Skinty getting two apiece. Cooper, Yorkevitch and the Hraynyk twins had one each. Defensively, Covert, Cornish and Taylor were outstanding for the winners, with Kitchen turning in another sterling parformance behind the bat. Yorkecitch, Ehestowski, Gii- bert and O'Reilly were to the forc for Tannery.
