PAGE TWO THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1940 PNP And 7 ) Today's Soorting Feataree Oshawa Loses 31d Game to Derbys 6 to 2) Derbys Play Back in Oshawa on Saturday | Lions Win Over Supertests, ; First Game AAI AAAI x SPORT NEWS «x If you didn't see that thriller diller softball game at the Motor City Stadium last night as Pepsi- Colas evened up the semi-finals by beating Bus Benson and his C.P. Ex- press mates 6-5, then you have only yourself to blame. We predicted 1t would be the best game of the sea son and it was the best game in years. * + + Pepsi-Colas were behind three {imes during the game and they came from behind a 5-4 deficit the last time when Thomson singled in the 8th, advanced on a sacrifice and scored when "Preem" Whiteley, pinch-hitting for "Coch" Campbell, rapped Bus Benson's first pitch, right over the left-field fence, about a foot inside the foul line, for a homer, to win the game, . > > 4 It was a thrill-erammed ball game Irom start to finish. Both teams pulled off some sparkling plays. Pepsi-Colas had another double- play, which makes eight double- plays they have had in their last six games. That's very good, we'd say. + + + Ferguson, in left-field for the visitors, saved the game in the seventh when he made a run- ning shoe-string catch of Roy Covert's great bid for a hit, with two runners in scoring position at the time. Alex Stanley, rated as one of the best infielders playing in Canada today, also stood out at shortstop last night for the Expressmen and he had two hits at the plate, one of his team's total of seven. Pepsi- Colas collected eight blows off Benson. * + + The C.P.E. boys didn't take too kindly to the razzing received from the enthusiastic Oshawa fans. Mako, third-baseman, got himself tossed out of the ball game for deliberately charging in the 4th inning and inh the 8th. Benson grew quite hot at the remarks being fired at him by some of the Oshawa spectators. * + + It was that kind of game. There were a lot of Toronto fans on hand for the game and of course, Oshawa fans were out in force too. It'll be the same this Saturday afternoon, at three o'clock. The C.P. Express office in Toronto will likely declare a half-holiday and all their root- ers will be on hand. * +» *» Maybe we forgot to mention it-- Manager Routliffe and "Coch" Campbell tossed the coin last night for the third game and once again, Oshawa won the toss. * + So it will be C.P.E. vs. Pepsi-Colas here in Oshawa on Saturday after- noon at three o'clock and at five- thirty, Toronto Acadians Juveniles will meet Oshawa Lions, also a third-game affair. > * + TONIGHT, at the Motor City Stadium, Toronto Riverdales meet Westmount Broncs in the second game of their Junior semi-finals. Broncs are out to cop the verdict tonight. If they can win this big game here to- night, they'll be all set for the third game, which is right back' here in Oshawa tomorrow night, also at 5:30 o'clock. * + + That makes three Oshawa teams playing off in three different soft- ball series, all against Toronto teams and in all three cases, Oshawa clubs have won the toss for the third and deciding game. * + * Westmount will be all out to win tonight's game. They feel that if they can win over the strong Toronto team tonight, they'll have things much easier tomorrow night in the third game. The Broncs have had a lot of expenses in this series and they are hoping for a bang-up attendance tonight at the Stad- fum. * + » 80 much for the softball. Don't forget the two lacrosse games at the Motor City Stadium tonight, when Toronto Roden A.C. meets Oshawa 'Bantams and Mimico plays Oshawa Midgets in the O.L.A. playdowns. This is the first year in history that Oshawa has had kid teams entered in the bantam and midget lacrosse playoffs and in tribute to the men THE CENTRE OF CONVENIENCE IN A) | t WITH A CLUB RESTAURANT OF INTERNATIONAL FAME HOTEL de lA SALLE MMOND & ST.

All we can tell, by the i score-book, is that Art Terry must have done a swell job for he allowed only three hits to the Oshawa team. They got their usual 9 safeties off Jake Biddle but this time they got them along at the same time as Osh- awa infielders were making er- 1 rors. i + + + Incidentally, Derbys were late 'n arriving again and the game was so slow in starting that they had to call it in the Tth. * + # All of this means that Derbys play here again on Saturday af- p: ternoon at Alexandra Park at three o'clock. They'll have to use Art Terry again and no doubt, | Steamer Lucas will go te the | mound for Oshawa. Meanwhile, | Niagara Falls Brights are one up on Stratford Nationals, having won the fifst game yesterday, 9-2. Ex-Queen's Grid | Stars Turn Out | With Argo Club | Toronto, Sept. 19. -- Argonauts' stock in the Big Four football mar- | ket took a big jump last night when | Manager Herb Boynton announced | that the locals had secured Georve | Sprague, erstwhile Ottawa and | Queens middle wing, and Doug Annan, captain and middle of last | year's Queen's team for the 1940 | season. Two former greats of college foot- | ball are now with the Royal Cana- | dian Air Force and stationed at Manning Pool. Chuck McLean, for- | mer buddy 'of Sprague and Annan with Tricolor teams, rates an assist in getting this formidable pair into Argonaut uniforms. McLean is also in the R.CAF. and billeted at the same station as Sprague and Annan. Both players were at practice last night and Coach Lew Hayman, considerably worried about what will constitute his wingline this season, was heartened py their ap- pearance. OWEN SOUND WINS SR. "B" CROWN Sarnia, Sept. 19.--Owen Sound Georgians came back from behind last night to defeat Sarnia Black Shirts, 15-9, and win their first Senior "B" Ontario Lacrosse Asso- ciation title. Five hundred fans, the season's largest crowd, saw the vis- itors, trailing 5-1 midway througn the second period, break through Joe Ward's superb goal-tending de- fense after he had been struck on the head with a hard shot. Sarnia outscored the Georgians 2-1 in the first quarter, Owen Sound had a 5-3 advantage in the second. a 4-2 in the third and a 5-2 in the last. White, with five goals, was high scorer for the night. J. Mc- Leod and Wilson counted twice and Colombo, Burlington, Standeven and Johnston once. Ralph Perry, Dennis and Norris scored two each; Jim Butler, Jack McLean and L. Perry scored single goals. Penalties were costly to Sarnia during the latter stages of the game. Ted Johnston, Toronto, official in charge of the game, underwent a heavy barrage of heckling from the crowd. N.

Mimico won the first game 11-9. Third and deciding tilt will be played at Mimico on Friday night, the winner qualifying to meet St. Catharines Athletics for the Ontario Southpaw | title.

A record crowd of 3,180 persons pack- ed the stadium for the battle. Although Gordie Gair gave Mim- ico a one-goal lead after the first minute of the pastime, Brampton was in the van, 2-1, at the end of the first quarter, on goals by George and Moe Thompson. From that time on they never looked back They blanked the Mounties in the second and fourth quarters, Excelsiors, "dark horse" club of the season, used their bodies to good effect in taking some of the speed out of the lighted and faster Double Blue team. It was a rugged battle. but Brampton had an edge all the way.

Sept. 19.--That six-furlong track record was jeopardized again here yesterday when W, H. Berri's Early Art Terry Limits Oshawa to Only 3 Hits to Earn Nice Win and Keep Derbys in Running for Title ERRORS NO HELP Derbys Score Their Runs in Early Stages by Bunching Their Safeties -- Game Called in 7th Inning Parkdale Derbys stayed in the running for the T.B.A. senior base- ball championship last night at Earlscourt Park when they defeat- ed the Oshawa team 6.2, behind a superb 3-hit pitching perform- ance by Art Terry, Peter Hastings' ace moundsman. Terry was in rare form last night and but for two errors, Oshawa | wouldn't have scored any runs at | all and Terry would have had the | shutout his pitching deserved. In the second frame, Irwin muffed Jubenville's grounder and Red stole second, and scored on a hit by Lefty Wallace. In the third inning, Doc Rowden rapped a clean single into centre and it was good for all- the-bases when Tunis allowed the | ball to roll between his legs and | away. Other than that, Terry was never in serious troube at any stage. Johnny Kitchen had Osh- awa's only other hit, in the first frame. Get Hits When Needed Derbys did not do a great deal to Jake Biddle's slants but they did | mannge to get their usual quota of nine hits. However they solved the problem last night of getting their safeties when needed and there. by hangs the story of Oshawa's de- feat. In the second Inning, Lewis walked and so did Levinsky. The latter was forced by Crawford and then Irwin singled to score Lewis and Crawford, who had just pre- | viously stolen second-base. In the third, Tunis opened with a hit. Harrison doubled but Tunis | was nipped at the plate. Flake was [ safe on a flelder's choice play on Hurst's error. Nairn then singled to score Flake with a second run of that inning. Derbys got another in the fourth i when Irwin walked and scored on a hit by Tunis and an error by Jubenville' who muffed Harrison's grounder. In the sixth, Tunis was | hit by a pitched ball, advanced on | a sacrifice and scored on Flake's nice hit. | The game was called in the Tth | inning, after Oshawa had complet- ed their batting. Wings, Bears Again Victors Rochester, N.Y., Sept. 10.--Given six-hit pitching by Mike Ryba, the International League champion Ro- chester Red Wings took their sec- ond straight verdict from fourth- place Baltimore in the preliminary Governor's Cup playoff series last night 4-1. Ryba allowed three hits in the fourth, when the Flock got its only run before Umpire Chet Swanson reversed a first-base decision by Umpire Milt Schroeder on a Roch- ester appeal. The action by the umpire-in-chief involving the third out, precipi- tated a near riot on the part of Baltimore players and the game was delayed for several minutes. Newark, N.J,, Sept. 19--George Washburn, Newark righthander who won eighteen games this season and will join New York Yankees in the spring, last night pitched the Bears to a 3-1 victory over Jersey City Giants to put his mates two games up in the semi-final round of the Governor's Cup series, AVATELR RESULTS T.

Pepsi-Colas Nose Out Today's Soortine Features C.P. Expressmen 6-5 { Oshawa Team Wins Toss -- Play Here Sat. Toronto Riverdales Visit Westmounts Tonight. Pepsi-Colas Battle Their Way to 6-5 Victory Over P.E. to Even Series Timely Hitting in Right Spots > Pinch-Hitter Whiteley Hits Homer Over Fence in 8th to Give Oshawa Team Great Win Wilf Lewis and Bus Benson|. Stage Nifty Hurling Duel --Pepsis Give Their Pit- cher Great Support CAME FROM BEHIND THREE TIMES TO WIN Thrilling Softball Battle Ends With Hectic Finish as Home Team Wins With Homer Over Fence Oshawa Pepsi-Colas climbed back into the running for the Ontario Intermediate "A" softball crown when they evened up the semi-final series here last night at the Motor City Stadium, with a 6-5 victory over Bus Beason and his heralded Canadian Pacific Express team. One of the largest softball crowds of the season witnessed the most thrilling and exciting game played at the Stadium diamond in many a year. The Oshawa victory was climaxed in the 8th inning when "Preem" Whiteley, pinch-hitting for Campbell, poled Benson's first pitch, right over the left-field fence for a homer and as Lefty Thomson was perched on second-base at the time, it changed a 5-4 deficit into a 6-5 profit and the game ended that way. Mako, third.baseman for the visi- tors, got himself tossed out of the game in the fourth inning when he deliberately charged the first- baseman, after being thrown out by a good six feet Thrilling Contest The entire game was packed full of thrills and both teams took ad- vantage of mistakes to score their runs. C.P.E. scored first in the third inning when Pepsi's pulled off a double-play with two on bases and Campbell tried to get the third out with a throw to third- base but the ball got away from Hall and went into the 'dugout, to allow McMillan to score. Then Pepsi's scored three in their half of the third when after two: out, Covert doubled. Lewis lofted into left-field and just as has hap. pened before, Ferguson took' the catch too carelessly, droppéd the ball and Covert scored. Oornish then drove one through seeond- baseman Warfiner, to scofé Lewis and Cornish scored on a clean hit by Trewin, to make it 3-1, ° The Expreéssmen came back in the fifth inning to again take the lead. Parfitt drew a walk and Mc Millan looped a double behind sec~ ond. Ells got & single to score Parfitt. Ferguson bunted and Lewis threw wildly to first, allowing McMillan to score. King filed out, Ellis scoring after the catch. Pepsi's Knot Count Pepsi.Colas tied it up in the 6th when Thomson singled, advanced on a passed ball and scored on a fielder's choice ball by Little. Campbell sacrificed and Kitchen grounded to advance Little but Hall grounded to first and Covert's great bid for a hit was caught by Per- guson, in 'left field, to save two sure runs. It was Férguson's sec- ond good play against Covert, hav- ing previously got one hand to a drive by Covert to prevent a homer. In the 8th, CPE. moved in front again, much to the delight of their § supporters when with two out, Stanley hit a two-bagger and scor- ed on a single by Bus Benson. Benson was nipped trying fo get two bases. Homer Does Trick In their half of the 8th, Thom. son opened for Pepsi's with another single and advanced to second on a nice bunt by Little. It was then that Whiteley was sent to bat as & pinch-hitter and he sént the fans wild with his homer, just inside the foul line. In the 9th, Lewis set the C.P.E. batters down in order.
