Toronto Leafs Win One From Montreal 2 = 1 Features WR AAA Pepsi-Colas Eke Out 10-Inning Victory, 8-6 Peterboro Quakers EEE By Gro. nH. Cam At the time of going to press, while not absolutely definite, it does look very much as if the rain will cause tonight's Inter- mediate playoff game to be postponed--which means that Peterborc Quakers will play Oshawa Pepsi-Colas, at the Mo- tor City Stadium, on Saturday. Whether or not it will be an afternoon game or evening is 'mot yet known but the time of the game will be announced (via sound-iruck advertising on Saturday. * + If the rain halts and the weather clears up in time, the game will still be played tonight, at 6:00 o'clock, at the Motor City Stadium. : * Pepsi-Colas won a 10.inning victory in Pelerboro last night. It was a thrilling finish to a good ball game and marked just another victory for the Oshawa softball forces on Pe- terboro diamonds. * + * Roy Covert's homer in the 10th inning, with Kitchen and "another good man" on bases at the time, gave Oshawa 3 runs and the game Peterboro got one in their half of the 10th but that wasn't enough. Aside from Covert's good hitting, other stars of the game were mem- bers of the Oshawa infield who be- tween them took care of 21 putouts in the total of 30. Billy Taylor had six putouts and two assists while there were fourteen putouts at the initial sack. Normie Garrard turn- ed in a smart game at 3rd base filling in for the absent "Wib" Hall. "Dib" Little, in left, also pulled off some timely catches to keep Peter- poro at bay in the last two innings. | * + + Wilf Lewis hurled brilliant ball for the Oshawa team and but for some weak support and bad throws by his mates, would have won the game in regulation time. The Pep- sis hit both Strickland and Shine with equal ease. Matthews ended Strickland's stay on the mound when he hit him on the pitching arm with a vicious liner, * » 2 Pepsi-Colas will send "Preem" Whiteley to the mound for their home game against the Quakers and the Pepsi's are out to down the Quaker Oats tribe in the well-known breakfast style. The Quakers put on a great fight on their home diamond and if they can show up as well at the Siadiom, they are apt to even up the series, but, of course, the Pepsi's claim that they are not going to have any part of a "third game". + + Still no word yet about 'whom the Westmount Broncs play next in the Junior playoffs. + * Local "Minor League" lacrosse players are asked to watch today's paper and also Tuesday's issue for news of their future games, $$ 4 Oshawa Lions eliminated Long Branch Juveniles finally. It was a 17-5 score last night at the Alex- andra Park and the game went 8 innings, * + 4 There was no doubt about the result after the Lions scored three in the first and then splurged for nine more in the second stanza. * 4 * Now Oshawa's smart Juvenile team will tangle with the To- ronto winners, Arcadians. The first game is to be played in Toronto tomorrow with the re- turn game at Alexandra Park on Labor Day, Monday evening. Local softball fans are urged to give the Lions their best vocal and financial support on Mon- day evening. * + And while talking about Labor Day, don't forget the big bicycle racing meet here on Labor Day. Harold Pringle, Canadian title- holder, and Lance Pugh, Ontario champion, both of Oshawa, will be defending their bicycle racing hon- ors on Monday at the Park. The crack riders of the Province will he here and it promises to be a very interesting day's program. do» The Victor Cycle Club of this city behind all local bike racing activi- ties, is deserving of support in this event which they nave made an annual affair. * + @ The Inter-City baseball play- offs will continue tomorrow, with a doubleheader at the Maple Leaf Stadium tomorrow afternoon. Peterboro and Osh- awa clubs are being given the well -« known "Toronto" run- around. Should ei her Grads or Derbys win both games tomor- row, then there'll be no need to play any games in Peterboro but if the Toronto teams split tomorrow, then they'll both play in Pelerboro a week from Saturday. Oshawa meets the winners, nex; week. * RED SOX WIN, 4-3, ON FORCED-IN RUN ---- Boston, Aug. 30.--Boston Red Sox escaped a tumble into the second division yesterday by defeating Chi- cago White Sox 4-3 in the series' finale.

The Lions will next meet Arca- | dlans of Toronto, in the Juvenile | zone No. 3 finals, with the first | game in Toronto tomorrow and the second game back at Alexandra | Park on Monday evening, Labor Day. Early Lead Wins Two big rallies in the first two frames, giving Lions a 12-0 leaq, won the game before it got started last night. Don Sawyer started on the mound for the Lions and hurled brilliant ball for the first three in- | nings. Ted McLaughlin took over for the fourth inning and he, too, kept the Long Branch boys in check very nicely. In the opening frame, Hall start- ed it with a double and Davies, Mc- Intyre and Daniels all singled to score the first three with runs. In the second frame, "Lions batted right around with Turner opening the attack with a triple. A single by Hall, walk to Davies, double to Mc- Intyre, hit by McMillan and a cou- ple more walks, followed by Tur- ner's second hit of the inning, built up the total of nine runs for the inning and made the score 12-0. After that it was never in doubt | but Lions had another big splash, good for five more runs, in the fourth inning on singles by Fowler, McLaughlin, walk to McArthur, single by Hall, walk to Davies and a triple by McIntyre. Long Branch pushed across one run on hits by Payne, Beoth and Berry, in the third frame. In the fifth, a couple of errors and singles by Johnson and Evans, gave the visitors two more runs and they got their last two tallies in the 8th In- ning on a walk to L. Prevost and a double by Pencold. Berry, Blake and Evans had two hits for the losers while Hall and McIntyre, with three safe blows each, paced the victorious Lions. LONG BRANCH--Burtch, 1b; R.

Event -------------- Hershey, Pa., Aug. gaffer Gene Sarazen, who is en- | joying an astonishing season of success in what should, by rights, be the twilight of his career, fought his way to the quarter-finals of the Professional Golfers' Association championship Thursday with a vic- tory over Henry Picard, the defend ing champion, on the 36th green. That other stripling, Walter Hag- on, a mere 47 years young, was out of it only because he got to day dreaming late .in the afternoon and accidentally touched the. ball of his opponent, Harold (Jug) McSpaden and automatically lost a crucial hole. The five-time former chame pion lost out, finally, on the 36th hole, where his putt licked the cup --and stayed out. The other six 30.--That old survivors of two rounds of medal play and three match eunflicts. were: Sam Snead, the Canadian champion, who clash=- es with Sarazen today; Paul Run- yan, twice former P.G.A. winner, who engages McSpaden; Byron Nel- con, former United States open champion and P.G.A. finalist last year, who meets Eddie Kirk, an unknown from Farmington, Mich, and Ben Hogan and Ralph Guldahl, a pair of top-notchers. Reds Triumph Over Dodgers Cincinnati, Aug. 30.--Neither rain nor the second-place Brooklyn Dod. gers could stop Cincinnati Reds yes- terday as they hammered out a 9 to 3 triumph that gave them an eight and a half-game lead on the National League field. Rain fell persistently through the last four and a half innings but by that time the champions had the contest under control and the driz- zle made little difference. Paul Derringer, in acquiring his seven- teenth victory, kept seven hits scattered, One of them was a home run by Joe Medwick in the first in. ning. DODGERS LOSE ACE INFIELDER Aug. 30--Acute ap- (Cookie) Cincinnati, pendicitis struck Harry Lavagetto yesterday and dealt a new stunning blow to National League pennant hopes of Brooklyn Dodgers. As surgeons removed a gangre- nous appendix from the 25-year-old third sacker, Manager Leo Durocher assembled a "scrambled" #nfield and insisted: "we'll carry on". He con- ceded, however, that his pennant- hungry ' charges had experienced another tcugh break in their in- jury-plagued battle to wrest the league lead from the champion Cincinnati Reds. . "Lavagetto is a very sick boy," said Dr. Reed Shank, staff surgeon of the Reds as he left an operat- game of the fifth-nlace "Pittsburgh Pirates.

Les McCrabb Hurles Leafs to Win 0'er Royals Toronto, Aug. 30. -- The Maple Leafs scored a pair of first inning- runs, and Les McCrabb made it a winning margin with a neat three- hit effort that gave the locals a 2-1 victory over Montreal Royals in the opener of a four-game series at the Stadium last night. Bill Crouch subdued the Lazzerl- men after their opening inning rally, yielding only two safeties in the last seven frames. Failure of Crouch to cover first on an infield hit by Flea Clifton, cost the Royal right-hander a shutout victory. With one out in the first inning, Clifton grounded to first-sacker Gus. Suhr. Crouch made a belated start to cover first, and Clifton beat him to the base by a step. Ty- ler singled off Haas' chest and Latshaw followed with a one-bag- ger to left-centre scoring Clifton. DeJonghe's triple on a ball that took a bad bounce over Staller's shoulder in the fourth with two out, and Heath's single in the sev- enth were the only other Toronto safeties. McCrabb was In rare good form. In seven of the nine frames, only three batters faced him. He retired the last 18 Royals in order. Charley Gilbert doubled with two out in the first and went to third on Fern Bell's error. The only other Royals to reach hase were Staller and Gil- bert, both of whom singled with none out in the fourth, BRAMPTON WINS AT ORILLIA, 11-6 Orillia, Aug. 30--Brampton Ex- celsiors staged a last period drive here last night to hand the Orillia Terriers an 11-6 drubbing in a slow O.L.A. senior exhibition. 5 2 2 0 0 0 1 1 4 3 1 0 Pittsburgh, Aug. 30.--Fritzie Zivic of Pittsburgh, punched his way to a decision last night over the National Boxing Association's light-weight champion, Sammy Angott of Wash- ington, Pa, in ten fest rounds be- fore about 20,000 fans at Forbes Field, i") BETTER SHOE REPAIRING PAYS -- IT IS CHEAPER With 45 years in the LEATHER and SHOE REPAIRING, SHOE MAKING trade, and 24 years in business in Oshawa, is your guarantee: of satisfaction, why experiment when you can have experience?

Behind the brililantly-steady pitching of Wilf. Lewis, who walk- ed only two batters in ten innings and kept his pitches mixed nicely on the corners, the Pepsi-Colas played good ball, except for two or three costly lapses, to keep Peterboro in check and trailing 5-2 going into the 8th inning. Quakers staged a 3- run reily in this frame to knot the score and when neither team scored in the 9th, it made "overtime" ne- cessary. Both Close in Ninth Both teams came close to getting a run in the 9th. Little was safe on an infield error in the first half of the 9th, advanced to 2nd on a pass- ed ball end came to third on an in- field putout but failed to get across the plate. In the last of the 9th, Foster walked and reached second with two out but Little saved the day for Pepsi-Colas when he haul- ed in a catch in left-field for the third out. It wasnt a difficult catch but Little silpped as he started after the ball, but he managed to keep on his feet and recovered just in time to maka the catch. Pepsi-Colas. won the game in the tenth inning, before there was a man retired. Freddie Kitchen open- ed the rally when he drew a walk after seaching the "3-and-2" count. Campbell bunted down the 3rd-base line to sacrifice Kitchen but both runners were safe when the Pet- erboro baseman waited for the ball to roll foul and instead the ball stayed inside. Then Roy Covert came through with his mammoth clout to make it 8-5. Peterboro came through with one run in their 10th when "Pat" Calla- dine, their big hitter of the day, got a life on the shortstop's error. Little made a brilliant running catch for the first out, the next batter flied out to Taylor and Callexdine scored after the catch, just beating the throw. Cacavella grounded to Corn- ish and the latter threw the runner out at first to end the game. Winners Lead All Way Oshawa only trailed once in the game. Lewis allowed Peterboro only eight scattered hits and but for two bad overthrows at 3rd base, they would have had at least two less runs. Taylor hit a long run, good enough for a homer but was tazged out at the plate in the second in- ning, when he tripped and fell after rounding third-base. In the third, Cornish singled and Garrard, who incidentally turned in a brilliant, errorless game at 3rd base, in the nee of "Wib" Hall, connected for a triple, inside the foul-line. Peierooro got two runs in the 4th when Moorehead and Cacavella both singled. Dixon popped out on a foul ball to Campbell, who threw wild {o 3rd, after the catch, allowing Moore- head to score and Cacavells to go 3rd. The latter scored on an outfie fly by Scriver. Pepsi-Colas got two in the 54 when Little and Cornish both wa ed and then Kitchen dropped o into right field, good for three b and two runs. In the 6th, Cove doubled, and Matthews drove orf] right at pitcher Strickland, str him on the throwing arm, Billy Taylor then clouted a twd bagger and Strickland, who suffere from a stiff arm after Matthew drive, retired in favor of Fran Shine. Taylor scored when Little} drive to the shotrstop was fumble to make the score 5-2. There was no further scoring un til the 8th, when Peterboro tied up. Starr opened with @ single an Calladine singled into right, Ma thews threw high over 3rd, allow ing one runner to score and Ca dine scored when Moorehead triple into right-field. The latter score the tying run on an infield putou Fielding Stars Pat Calladine, peppery catche: was the big gun for the homestes sharing hitting laurels with Moor head. For Oshawa, Roy Covert hal three hits in five trips, including homer and double, while Taylor an Campbell each had two hits. Kite en, Matthews, Cornish and Garrat all had hits in the right spot. De fensively, Taylor with six putou and two assists, had the big day fo the winners, with Little in left an Garrard at 3rd also turning in games.
