Broncs were in a hitting mood again last night in Belle- ville and punched out two 4- run rallies in the 2nd and 3rd innings to take a 9-1 lead and practically clinch the verdict right there. Bill Bawks and Jack McConkey hoth hit hom- ers while Ethier and Yerrow hit 4-base blows for the home- sters. + + McConkey again bested Hook in the matter of pitching and the Broncs proved themselves better than Belleville in almost every de- partment.

Whether or not the league officials thought they were going to gel a poor crowd because of running two nights in a row or whether members of the Derbys and Grads didn't want to play two nights in a row--we don't know but one or other or both are likely the real reasons and our guess is that the fans will show their resent- ment by staying away. * +» * However, here in Oshawa, all we know is that Oshawa meets the winners of their session and, ac- baseball cording to reports, the first game | of the series may not be in Oshawa after all--unless it is on Monday morning, as the bicycle riders of the city have Alexandra on Mon- day afternoon for their annual big meet, : * + Niagara Falls are still. seeking more hockey talent, even with the return of their good homebrews and the acquisition of five stellar Kirk- land Lake players. It looks as if the Senior OH. A. group might be a hectic race this year with the To- ronto team not so likely to "walk away" with the honors. Might be a good year for Oshawa to be "in there" too. NIAGARA FALLS SEEKS MORE NEW PUCK TALENT Niagara Fells, Ont, Aug. 28.-- Confirming a report, emanating from Kirkland Lake, that five of last season's Lake Shore Blue Devils, Allan Cup champions, would be found wearing Nizzara Falls senior hockey livery in the coming season, Ronald Cook of the Falls Arena, last night further stated that four form- er Falls stars would also be found in the local camp. The returning home brews are: Roy Heximer, with Sudbury seniors last season; Walt Murray, last sea- son with Quebec; Hazen McAndrew, who played in recent seasons in England and with United States amateur clubs; Mickey McQuade, with Stratford seniors for the past two years. Mr. Cook stated that "decils" have been definitely closed with the following Blue Devils: Blink Bellinger, Bobby Walton, Hal Cooper, Scotty McPhail and Doug Boston. Mel Carey, goaler with last sea- son's Sudbury seniors and Rosy Rozzini, a winger of the same club, are others whom the Falls scout hopes to land. Obs Heximer, an- other Falls product, who retired from minor professional hockey two years ago, is a likely Cataract starter, if the necessary "white- wash" is forthcoming. SHUTE SUFFERS APPENDECTOMY Hershey, Pa. Aug. 28---Denny Shute, star professional golfer, was "doing as well as could be expect- ed" last night after en emergency operation for appendicitis.

Wrigley, owner of Chicago Cubs, announced yesterday that Charles Leo (Gabby) Hartnett will be retained as manag- er of the team. Wrigley sald he was convinced Hartnett had done a good job this season. Hartnett, now serv- ing his nineteenth season with the club, succeeded Charlie Grimm in 1938. Martin Marion's First Home-Run Wins Ball Game St. Louis, August 28. -- Martin Marion's first home run of his major league career in the fourth inning yesterday turned out to be the run needed by St. Louis Card- inals to defeat Boston Bees, 4 to 3. The Bees rallied in the eighth for all their runs, and drove Bob Bow- man to the showers, but did not deprive him of victory. Clyde Shoun and winning runs on base, stopped the uprising with the tying Gene Moore opened with a single and scored on Jim Tobin's safety Phil Masi hd walked. The blow that sent Moore home moved Masi to third. Al Glossop forced Tobin, but scored Masi. Then John Cooney singled to right, sending Glossop to second and Bowman to the clubhouse. Carvel Rowell's Max West's Moore scored Glossop to third. Jimmy Ross to after fly to Terry and sent Cooney end the inning. After allowing three hits in the first two innings Bowman held the | Bees hitless until the eighth. Leafs Split Bill With Wings : Rochester, N.Y., Aug. 28.--Hers- chel Lyons won his eighteenth vic- | tory last night at the expense of | Toronto Leafs, 4-1, but even .in| achisving a seven-hit verdict' the big Rochester righthander was un- able to pui a complete quietus on Toronto scoring. Bob Latshaw's triple in the eighth enabled the Leafs to avoid a shutout after Carl Fischer and Bill Lillard pitched and batted them to a 3-1 conquest of the league leaders in the twilight half of the dual night bill. Latshaw trotted home as Tipton flied to right, thereby ending Lyons' seven-inning domination, While Lyons was stranding eight of the "Lazzeris" on the paths, pitching his way out of serious jams in the second and fifth, the Wings were pecking away at Vallie Eaves and Pat McLaughlin for nine safe blows. George Fallon's triple in the second with Kurowski aboard and Loaigiani's subsequent bad throw, yielded the first two Wing runs off Eaves. A walk sacrifice and two singles supplied another off Eaves in the fourth and McLaughlin, pitching after Gray hit for Vallie in the fifth, allowed the other. Lillard's error after a single and sacrifice was responsible, None of the Leafs got more than one hit off Lyons who fanned six and walked three. Kurowski went four for four against Eaves and McLaughlin, the only Rochester batsman with more than one bingle. METZ TAKES P.G.A. MEDAL Hershey, Pa., Aug» 28.--Dick Metz of Chicago practically wasted two grand rounds of 69 and 71 here the last two days to capture medalist honors in the qualifying round of the annual Professional Golfers As- sociation tournament, For il his dead-eye shooting through the slanting rain and his inspired putting on a water-logged course, the former Texan received a medal for his pains and a trophy for his mantel. When the real shoot- ing begins today in the first two rounds of matich play, he will be starting from scratch, just like the other sixty-three who qualified for the main event. Pursuing Metz through today's to the wire steady rain was Harold (Jug) McSpaden of Win- chester, Mass, the 1939 Canadian Open Champion and runner-up this year to Sammy Snead. He shot rounds of 70-71--141, Henry Picard, the local professional, took third place with 73-69--142, WIRE WEAVING TIE SERIES Niagarw Falls, Ont., Aug. 28.--The Falls Softball Association Senior "A" playoff was tied up here last night when Wire Weaving defeated Cyan- amids 6-5.

Long Branch Juveniles will play the second game of the series here in Oshawa, at Alexandra Park at 6.30 o'clock sharp, this evening. Lions scored two runs in the, sec- ond inning on four successive walks and a fielder's choice ball, They got two more in the fourth on a hit by McMillan and a couple of Long Branch errors. In the 6th, McMil- lan again singled and this time scored on a hit by Turner and an error. Big Rally Wins Game During these six frames, Long Branch had touched up the offer- ings of Ted McLaughlin in fine style and were leading 8-5, going into the 7th inning. Long Branch had scored two in the second also on a walk to Blake, a triple by Ber- ry and an infield error by Lions. A monster 4-run rally in the fifth inning was the big blow to Lions. Prevost singled and Payne was safe on a fielder's choice and Booth on an error. Then Bernard doubled and with two out, Evans was safe on a bad error, to make it. possible for the 4th run to cross the nlate, Long Branch added two more in the sixth when again the Lions had bad errors, as the homesters were hitting McLaughlin's slants hard and often. In the "lucky seventh", Lions won the game when they suddenly broke loose against IL. Prevost's of- ferings. Hall started it off with a double, Davies singled and so did McIntyre. Daniels was walked and then Turner clouted out a long hit and when the dust had cleared away, everybody had scored to make it 10-8 for Lions. In the last of the 7th, Long Branch got only one run and this was on an error, After the third out had been made, the umpires conferred and agreed to call the game on account of darkness. Hall, McIntyre, McMillan and Turner were the big hitters for the Oshawa club while R. Prevost, Payne, and Barnard were the pick of the Long Branch team.

EDGE MIMIGO 'Toronto, Aug. 28.--Brampton Ex- celsiors stood off a furious last-per- fod rally by Mimico Mountaineers last night at Mimico box lacrosse stadium to earn a 12-11 triumph én a rugged beitle that attracted a crowd of 1,200 fans. Goaltender Ginger Hall kept the Flower Town team In the game as he stopped shot after shot that was labelled. Tied at 5-5 at half time, the Bramptonites 'outscored Moun- ties 4-1 in the third queter to take a 9-6 advantage, and although out- scored by 5-3 in the last 15 minutes they kept their goal so .well pro- tected Jack McDonald's men could not get the necessary markers. Mimico lost the services of Mickey McDonald, star forward, in the third querter when he was injured in a melee in a corner of the box and the Mounties attack suffered. McDonald had his checkbone frac- tured and was rushed to St. Jo- seph's Hospital after being attend- ed by Dr. H. R. Cohn of Mimico, a spectator &. the game. Hall, Anthony and George Thomp- son were to the fore in the Bramp- ton cause, while McDonald, Gord Gair and Jack Williams featured for the losers. MARION WALKER RETAINS TITLE Hamilton, Aug. 28.--Miss Marion Walker, Mississauga, retained her Ontario junior girls' golf chempion- ship here yesterday when she top- ped a field of nineteen in two rounds over the Ancaster Golf Clun course. In her initial test on Mon- day she finished with a 78 count and today she toured the layout in 83 for a 161 total. Three strokes back came Miss Meavy Jane Fisher, Scar- boro. Yesterday Miss Fisher took 84 strokes, but she clipped three from that today with a 40 on the first nine and a 41 on the homeward journey. On the eighteenth her putt hung on the lip of the cup, robbing her of a par four for the hazardous hole. BASEBALL RECORDS Ann NENEEENEnnnnne wena' INTERNATIONAL LEAGUE Ww. L. Pct.

White Sox New York, Aug. 28.--New York Yankees continued their belated drive toward the top in the Ameri- can League yesterday by turning back Chicago" White Sox in ten in- nings 5-4. The victory advanced the champions within 5% games of the idle Cleveland Indians and 2% games of the likewise idle Detroit Tigers. Babe Dahlgren was the hero of the tenth inning uprising after Joe DiMaggio, in the roll of pitch hitter, had struck out. Red Rolfe doubled to start the frame, and was sacri- ficed to third by Tommy Henrich. Charley Keller and George Selkirk were intentionally passed by Johnny Rigney to fill the bases. Rigney then was relieved by Ed- gar Smith, who promptly fanned DiMaggio, batting for Bill Dickey. Dahlgren then dropped a single into short right to score Rolfe with the winning run. Rigney was charged with the defeat. Rolfe hit a home run with none on in the fifth. Manager Jimmy Dykes of the Sox objected too strenuously to a called fourth ball on Dahlgren in the second inning and was ejected fr om the game by Umpire George 'lo- riarty. t Early Rallies Prove Big Help As Westmount Wins Series Over Belleville, Two-Straight McConkey Bests Hook in Pitching Duel and Also Contributes Homer to His Team's Run-Scoring Efforts -- CALLED IN EIGHTH Homesters Never in Picture After Broncs Take 5-1 Lead in Second Inning Westmount Broncs ousted Belle- ville Uptown Billiard Junior team in two-straight games in the first round of the O.AS.A. playdowns when they won ga '-inning 11-6 verdict in Belleville yesterday even- ing. Jack McConkey was again on the mound for the Broncs, with Dean McLaughlin having to go to Toron- to to defend (unsuccessfully) his horseshoe pitching title. McConkey hurled much better ball than he did In the game ai Oshawa and he had a definite edge over Hook, the Belleville hurler, at ail stages of the tussle, Early Rallies Win Oshawa's Junior team won the game with early rallies, a single tally in the opening frame, a big 4-run rally in the second stanza and as many more runs in the third inning. After that the home- sters were never in the picture and it was just a question of how many innings could be played before darkness. The Belleville umpires called the game in the first of the 8th, with. Oshawa leading 12-6 at the time and two out. Belleville got one run in the first frame to even up Oshawa's open run, a homer by Bill Bawks. In the second, Oshawa got four of the best when Bligdon walked and then with two out, Wilson sin- -gled, -Bawks singled and Jack Me- Conkey clouted out a homer to clear the bases. In the third inning, Haride singled, Bidgood fanned but Bligdon, Cameron and Szoldra all came through with hits and Wil- son's hit cleaned them off to make it another 4-run splash, for a 9-1 lead. Belleville got three in the third on a homer by Ethier and hits by Clare, Sword and Goyer. Bradden scored on Clare's hit in the 4th in- ning to make it 9-5 but McConkey tightened up and Belleville's only other run was a homer by Yerrow, in the 6th inning. Oshawa added singleton tallies in the 5th and 7th frames, Cameron crossing the plate each case, after getting on first with a hit in the 5th and on a walk in the Tth. Wil son and Szoldra supplied the scor ing blows in each case to send Cameron home. Broncs were in a hitting mood in Belleville and clearly out-clouted the homesters to earn their win, besides playing good ball in the field. The Broncs won the game despite the fact that two or three regulars, including shortstop Weatherup Dean McLaughlin and Suiith, werd missing from their line-up. Ethier, Clare, Sword and Yerrov were the big: hitters for the losers but as a team the Belleville boyd couldn't bunch their hits enoug to give McConkey too much trou ble.
