Local Juveniles Win Toss for Third Game Features AAAI AAA AA Pepsi-Colas Make | x \ _- SPORT NEWS x It's Oshawa vs. Parkdale Derbys again tonight, at Earlscourt Park in Toronto and the time is five- thirty o'clock. They play again, likely at the same diamond, on Wednesday evening. LEE If a fourth and fifth games are necessary, theyll be in Oshawa, next Saturday. LA Meanwhile, instead of waiting for = bye into the Ontario finals, Stratford Nationals are going to play in the semi-finals against Niagara Falls Brights. Brights eliminated St. Cathar- ines on Saturday fa the 7th game of their final series. The winner of the Oshawa-Derbys series will receive a bye right into the finals for the Provin- cial title, against the winners of the Niagara Falls-Stratford series. . * + + Steamer Lucas kept nine hits scattered better than Art Terry was able to spread out an equal num- ber of safe blows and the result was a 6-2 victory for Oshawa in the first game of the finals, here on Saturday. * bP Derbys scored first, a lone run in the first, then they capi- talized on an error to get an- other in the fourth and they never scored again--thanks te some fine hurling by Lucas in the tight spots and a couple of nifty double-plays by the Oshawa infield, in tight spots. * + » Shortstop Harrison of Derbys made a bad play in the third in- ning. With one out and the bases loaded, he took Kitchen's grounder and instead of throwing to the plate for the force-out or even try- ing for a double-play, he tiarew to 1st base, threw high and two runs scored. Matthews grounded out but Rowden rapped one for a safety and two more runs scored. That was the ball game, right there! Kitchen's next hit, followed by Moose Matthews' triple and anoth- er hit by Doc Rowden, gave Osh- awa their last two runs, in the fifth. * + Oshawa's infield turned in sparkling defensive ball while Jef- fers in left field and Crawford, af 1st., pulled off the high light plays for the Derbys. * + @ Tracy Shaw getting tossed out of the game by. Umpire Babe Shepperd, for a big argu- ment over a called third strike, was another bright spot in the game. Peg Hurst then took over the catching duties, with Maxie Yourth going out to centre, * + + The Motor City boys deserved their win on Saturday here. They made the most of their breaks. Tonight, they hope to make it two- straight over the Parkdale team, at Earlscourt Park. Frank McGarry, tricky right-hander, will go to the mound for Oshawa tonight and as he has already had several wins over the Derbys this year, he is quite likely to urn in another neat chore and down them again. "Jake" Riddle or Lucas will be ready for relief duty. * b> The way Johnny Kitchen, Mat- thews and Rowden were hitting the ball on Saturday indicates that the Parkdale hurlers are going to have a very busy evening. * + Brooklin lacrossers were oust- ed in three-straight, when they lest again in Owen Sound on Friday night. Owen Sound will now meet Sarnia for the O.L.A. Senior "B" title. + + + Behind a brilliant pitching performance by "Preem" Whiteley, the Oshawa Pepsi- Colas threw a scare into the very coufident C.P.E. team of Toronto, on Saturday afternoon at Acorn Park. "Bue" Benson won the game 4-1 but he had to strike out eleven batters to do the trick. * + » : It was a real pitching battle, with Whiteley walking only one batter, striking out seven and allowing seven hits. Bus Benson fanned eleven, allowed only six hits and walked one batter. * * 4 Two home-runs were the only really "earned runs" that the Ex- pressmen should have had. Cliff King, whe has played in Oshawa before with other Toronto teams, does the catching for Benson and displays plenty of ginger. He nick- ed one of the homers and Parfitt, a slugging outfielder, connected for another. A bad error gave them their first run and fumbled ball, on . a slippery field, was responsible for their fourth tally. * + 4 Buz Benson proved just as effective as reported. Not particularly fast, he throws a very tricky slow-ball, that drops fast at the plate. He also throws curves off both corners of the plate and mixed with a normal fast pitch, his assortment of slants and change of pace makes him a hard pitcher to hit. The big- gest trouble is in hitting the ball squarely. Pepsi-Colas had six safe blows and had more runners left oa bases than the winners. One or two more clean hits, in the right spots, would easily have given the Oshawa team a victory. * + + Benson's team, aside from a pep- pery catcher and Warriner, an outfielder, now subbing for Stan- ley, at shortstop, is, only ordinary. Both King, their catcher, and Warriner, are very hard hitters. Warriner had three of their seven hits off Whitely while King had a double and a homer. The rest of the team is just of ordinary Inter- mediate calibre and but for Ben- son's superb pitching, would be | only fair opposition. + + + The return game of the series will be here in Oshawa at the Stadium, on Wednesday of this week at five-thirty o'clock. Pepsi-Colas are expecting the record crowd of the season to be on hand, if only to see the great Bus - Benson Ia action. Pepsi-Colas declare that they'll whip Benson and force a third game, providing they get a break or two and after the nip- and-tuck game on Saturday, which was 2-1 until the 7th in- niag, it looks as if the return game here Wednesday will be the best of the season. + + Acting on behalf of the Lions | Juvenile softball club, we tossed a | coin with the representatives of the Toronto Acadians Juvenile team, at Acorn Park on Saturday. The third game of their Juvenile zone finals will be in Oshawa on Satur- day of this week, at the Motor City Stadium. * + +» Oshawa Westmount Broncs also won the toss for the third game of their Junior series, with East Riverdales of Toron- to. However, the Broncs have still got to win the secoad game, in order to force a third one. They played about two innings here on Saturday and then the rains came. + + + Westmount Broncs and Toronto Riverdales will try again, for the second game of their series, tomor- row (Tuesday) night at Motor City Stadium, at 5.30 o'clock. Broncs must win over the classy Toronto team tomorrow night in order to force a third game. If Westmount, does win tomorrow here, the third game will be at the Stadium on Thursday. * + % Lions and Supertest Juveniles will try to get their semi-final series under way again, with the first game at the Park Road South diamond, tonight at 5:45 o'clock.

PORTS OUST WOOLER Trenton, Sept. 16.--Port McNich- ol moved into the four'h round of the Intermediate O.AS.A. play- downs by virtue of a 3-2 win over Wooler here last night, winning the series in successive games. A ninth- inning rally on the part of Wooler fell one short of knotting the count as Port McNichol counted two in the sixth and. one in the ninth, after Wooler opened the scoring in the initial frame. Port McNichol won at home by a 9-to-6 score, thus eliminating Wooler in successive games. JAMES HEALY PASSES Glasgow, Del, Sept. 16.---James Healy, 82, noted horse trainer, died at his home Saturday.

Oshawa won the first game, 6-2 in Oshawa Saturday. Convening before Saturday's game TBA. officials and representatives i of the contending teams decided to abide by the scheduled 3-of-5 series for the championship.

Inasmuch as the Northern On- tario Baseball Association is not af- filiated with the Ontario Baseball Association, there will be no play- offs between the northern and southern sections of the Province. After Hollinger obtained its five-run lead in the first inning with Copper Cliff's Awrey on the Sud- bury mound, youthful Maurice Vail- lancourt was thrown into the breach. From then until the end of the game he held the hard-hitting Vince Barton-coached squad 'o three hits and no runs. Mike Yasin- chuck went the route for the win- ners.

E. Runs -- Lewis Gets 3 Safeties, Too Oshawa Pepsi-Colas, Eastern On- tario Intermediate "A" softball rep- resentatives, gave Bus Benson and his Canadian Pacific Express team, champions of Toronto, a real scare on Saturday afternoon at Acorn Park in Toronto, before bowing out 4-1 in the first game of the On- tario semi-finals. Behind: a superb 6-hit pitching performance by their ace hurler, "Bus" Benson, the well-known mound ace of the Bowles A.C. teams leaders of the Beaches 'Fastball' loop, the C.P.E. team performed in only mediocre fashion but were safe on the strength of four runs. "Preem" Whiteley, the Oshawa speedball ace, turned in one of his best games of the year to hold the CP.E. team to only seven safe hits and while his mates did not get enough runs to warrant a victory, tighter defensive play in the Pepsi- Cola outfield would have held the score to at least a 2-1 defeat. Two Homers Enough Benton cro:sed the plate with the first run of the game when he got a "life" in the second inning, as Little dropped his easy fly ball in left field. Benson scored when he went to third on a passed ball and scored on a single by Warriner.

It went for a homer. Warriner, got two bases on a single and a passed ball and then scored when McMillan singled to left, to make it 4-1, There was no more scoring but Pepsi-Colas came close twice. In the 7th inning, Little singled and Lewis also singled. With two men on bases, Pepsi's tried to advance the runners via hunte but both Trewin and Camnbell bunted to the pitcher and Benson made the throws to 3rd for putous. In the 9th, with two out, Lewis and Tre- win both singled but Campbell grounded to Benson and was thrown out at 1st, to end the game. Pepsi-Colas played smart ball in their infield, with Trewin again turning in another brilliant game at second and the others all show- ing up well, besides clicking off ane other typical double-play. Lewis Leads Hitters Wilf Lewis was the big hitter for Pepsi-Colas, getting three of his team's half-dozen safeties. Hall, Trewin and Little were the others to collect a hit off Benson's tricky slants. Warriner was the big hite ter for the winners, with three safe hits, one a double. King, their pepe pery catcher, had a double and a homer. Besides allowing only six hits, Benson struck out eleven batters and issued only one walk. Whiteley was practically on his heels, allow= ing only seven hits, fanning seven batters and walking only one. Score by Innings R. HE Peps! « Colas 000 100 000 1632 C. P.
