Afternoon Westmount Broncs Eliminated Last Night Lions Here Tomorrow AAA we wel b and you can see "the best" "which ever game you are most r ted, Saturday afternoon at o'clock. + + * Up at Alexandra Park, it's - Oshawa against the Parkdale Derbys in the fourth game of the T.B.A. Senior baseball finals. If Oshawa Seniors win tomorrow afternoca's game at Alexandra Park, then they'll be crowned the T.B.A. champions and will receive a bye into the finals for the Ontario cham. plonship. Niagara Falls plays in Stratford on Saturday after- nooit. They beat Stratford in the first game, Wed. : + + * Steamer Luces will likely go to ne mound tomorrow afternoon in =n effort to wind up the series and the Derbys in the elimination isket. Pete Hastings will call on his youthful ace again, his one and ®nly Art Terry. It should be an- other great mound duel but surely phbdibibds ss A by this time, it will be the third | game in four that they have faced | Mr. Terry, the Oshawa batters should be able to solve his delivery | and pound out a few runs. > + * If Parkdale Derbys win again tomorrow afternoon here in Oshawa, then a fifth game will be necessary, next week and it will be played in Oshawa. * + * Since defeat tomorrow doesn't necessarily mean elimination, the Oshawa team have a slight advan- tage. Being a "game in hand" is a big help and we look for them to clean up the series temorrow-- but if they don't win, well then we can all see the fifth game. * + + There is no "second chance" for the Pepsi-Colas however. ..I¢'s win or else for them tomor- row afternoon when they tangle with the great Bus Benson, Alex Stanley, Cliff King and the rest of the highly.rated Canadian Pacific Express team down at the Motor City Sta- dium, at three o'clock. + + % The biggest softball crowd of the season saw the best softball game in years on Wednesday night here when the Pepsi-Colas nosed out C. P. Express with a hectic finish, "Preem" Whiteley's home-run, in the role of a pinch-hitter, with a man on bases, in the 8th inning gave Oshawa a 6-5 decision over Bus Benson and Oshawa softball fans went home delighted. + %» + One thing is certain, every person who saw that game on Wednesday night will' be back tomorrow afternoon at the Sta. dium, three o'clock, to see the third and deciding game be- tween these iwo great clubs. In addition, there'll be a lot more besides. The C.P.E. offices in Toronto will close oa Saturday afternoon and a special bus- load is expected to attend the game, to cheer for Mr. Benson and his mates. * 4% % The Pepsi-Colas have also built up .a great iollowing here among the Oshawa sport fans and they too will have plenty of rooters in the stands tomorrow afternoon, It's going to be another great game and with the O.A.8.A. finals as the goal, both teams will give every- thing they have to pull out a win. +» Westmount Broncs went into the discard last night at the Stadium, victims of a 5-hit pitching performance by Bruce "Red" Mahaffy, Toronto River- dales' speedy left-hander. This pitcher had the Broncs in a bad way 8 the plate and besides he was given brilliant support by a very classy fieldlag team. LO IR All the runs were scored in the first two innings. If Bill Bawks, WHEN IN TORONTO VISIT THE St. Regis Sherbourne St. al Carlton One Hundred Modern Rooms with private baths, showers and private telephones. Rooms, single, from $2.00 to $2.50 Rooms, double, from $3.00 to $3.50 and $4.00 Good Food Served at moder- ate price. Dancing Nightly; no cover Dean McLaughlin and Bligden, re- gular third-baseman, had all been on hand for last night's game, we feel the Broncs would have scored more runs. Defensively, the make- shift infield and outfield gave McConkey great support, every bit as good as the regulars would have given but at the plate, some of the substitutes were definitely weak with the willow. McConkey hurled great ball for Westmount, had 10 strikeouts and deserved to win but his mates couldn't get him enough runs to offset the three scored by Riverdales in the second inning. * + * So now Broncs tangle with Palm Billiards in the local City Cham- plonship series while Toronto River- dales meet Windsor in the O.AS.A. Junior finals. * + * At the Motor City Stadium, tomorrow evening, at five-thirty o'clock. Toronto Acadians and Oshawa Lions will clash in their third and deciding game of the Zoue finals, in the Juv- enile series. It's a sudden-death tilt and no doubt both Lions and Acadians will be glad to get it over. It should be a real tussle and local supporters of the Lions' team will be on hand in full force. + + + Lions lost a local Juvenile league semi-final game last night by de- fault. This ties up the round with Clark's Supertests and the third and deciding game has been order- ed for Bathe Park, Monday eve- ning, at 5:45 o'clock.. The winners meet Terriers in the finals. + * In the Minor League lacrosse games at the Stadium last night, the youthful Oshawa teams gained a lot of valuable playoff experi- ence, even if they didn't have many goals. The Bantams lost to To- ronto Roden AC. by 13 to 3 and the Oshawa Midgets bowed to Mimico, 17-2. However the games were closer than the scores indi- cate and the local kids put up a good show in their first year of "outside" competition. * +» + "ENLIST FOR HUMANITY." Bowling News from the Local Greens (By Jack High) On Tuesday night, Cannington Lawn Bowlers visited Oshawa in a social spirit; 10 pairs ladies and gents joining in with 22 pairs of local ladies and gents. The result was a real game of which the writer thinks is far too seldom played. It was a beautiful night for bowling and the greens were in good con- dition after the rain we had over the week-end. May this be only a forerunner of such games between these two clubs. The names of the winners who all got baskets of peaches presented to them by our president, Dr. 8. J. Phillips, are: Cannington, 2- wins, Mr. Thomson and Mrs. Endicott, 1 win, Mr. Gor- don and Mrs. Petlett; Oshawa, 2 wins, Miss M, Davy and O. M. Alger; Miss M. Wales and C. White, with 1 win, Mr. and Mrs. Brown- lee and Mr. and Mrs. Leo Gray; high 2 wins for trebles, Mr. 8. Mc- Millan. On Wednesday afternoon at Port Hope, Ed. Goodman's rink won the Dr. Dailey Memorial Trophy for the 2nd year in succession. The composition of the rink was Mrs. Goodman, Tom Johns, Mrs. Legg, and E. Goodman, skip. Coming Events On Saturday at 1:30 p.m. sharp W. E. N. Sinclair's trophy for Scotch Doubles for men will be played. This trophy is confined to Ontario County. On Monday night, 23rd, at 7:15 sharp an Irish Trebles' tournament will be played for the W. F. Cowan trophy. Any combination allowed. On Wednesday afternoon at 1:30, an Open Rink tournament for the John Stacey trophy will be played. This is confined to men's rinks.

JACK GODFREY CONVALESCING Toronto, Sept. 20.--Jack Godfrey, defenseman with New York Rovers of the United States Eastern Ama- teur Hockey League, was conval- escing in his Toronto home today after a six-week illness in hospital at Peterboro, Ont. Treated for ulcers of the stomach, he developed pneu- charge. monia and his condition was con- sidered serious. Who Is 1940's Best Baseball Rookie ? Plenty of Candidates For That Title By WALTER L. JOHNS Central Press Canadian Sports Writer Along about this time every year, it is appropriate to consider the major league rookie crop and gauge its worth this year and possibilities | | punch at the bat. for the next campaign. The crop was a bumper one this year, but should be exceeded next | season for many of the aging an- | equipped with youthful talent and cients still cavorting in major league uniforms are certain to be scrapped | for much-needed youthful replace- ments. The Cleveland Indians need some | outfielders and can use pitchers, t00. | The Yankees need many new men, including replacements for veterans who have been flags year after year but finally have shown weakness. The Red Sox need pitchers badly. Terry Has Problem The Browns and Athletics have young teams and won't have 'to scrap too many oldsters. The White Sox could use a few youngsters in key positions. Detroit has several ancients who may or may not man- age to answer the call next year Washington needs many replace- ments, not necessarily for veter- ans, but help for many positions. In the National league, the Giants' problem is a big one. Bill Terry's club, like the Yanks, has been crowded with stars of yesterday who have lost the stamina and ability that made them famous in other days. Terry will have to re- the | winning | | build the team and almost every man. is in danger of losing his job. The Cardinals need pitchers. The Cubs have several young pitchers who came up this year and have made good, but always can use | some new men. The Dodgers could use a good young pitcher and more Hudson Is Standout The Phils and the Bees are well- more seasoning plus pitching and hitting strength may make a vast difference in the ultimate standing | The Pirates need pitchers and must drop a few old timers. The Cincy | Reds are well-balanced, but reserve strength is poor. A couple of hard- hitting outfielders could do much | here, Glancing at the American league | harvest this season we find four | pitchers with very creditable records and who have proved of immense value to their clubs. Sid Hudson, who made the jump from a Class D Florida state league to the Washing- ton Nats, easily is the most-talked- of hurler to come up this year. Al- ready winner of 13 games, Hudson also is credited with two one-hit victories which isn't minor league stuff in any sense of the word. The value of Righthander Ernie Bonham to the Yankees is realized when one considers the remarkable rise of the Yanks in the last month from a second division club to a | pennant contender. The Kansas City rookie has won six games after los« ing his first and appears to be the | Babich tossed | and should be among the leaders | Sid Hudson Walt Judnick "hottest" thing in pitching harness | at the moment. Detroit Has Pair Lefty Al Smith, a Giant cast-off, | was brought in by Cleveland from Buffalo of the International league. | Smith has turned out to be a regu- lar winning hurler for Cleveland and one of the leaders in the loop. | Johnny Babich of the Philadel- | phia Athletics, playing with a last- place club, also must be classed | among the rookie hurling "finds!" | several fine games | next year, Other American league rookie | pitchres of promise are Yank Terry | of the Red Sox, Detroit's Johnny | Gorsica and Harold Newhouser, and the Yankees' Marvin Bruer. Outfield and infield talent in the | American this year is headed by | Bob Kennedy, sensational third | baseman of the Chicago White Sox. | DiMaggio Successful Dominic DiMaggio of the Red Sox | finally is hitting his stride after sit- | ting on the bench in the early part | of the season. Walt Judnich of the | St. Louis Browns has developed into a homer hitter and one of the best | Brownies to come up in a long time Benny McCoy, the high-priced Ath- | letic second baseman, has played steady baseball but his batting av- erage is woefully weak, Cleveland's second base combina- tion, Ray Mack and Lou Boudreau, | the class of the league, came up in | midyear last season so won't be in- | cluded in a size-up of the 1940 tal- | | | | Early and Jimmy Pofahl ent. Bob Bwift of the Browns, Al | Brancato and Al Rubeling of the A's, Russ Peters and Clarence Campbell of the Injuns, and Jake of the Nats are others to make a 1940 de- but and stick through the season. In the National league, the rookie brigade is headed by Mike McCor- mick of Cincinnati and Carvel (Cin- tronella Rowell) of the Boston Bees Rowell is a contender for the bat- ting crown. McCormick has been a regular all year and keeps his av- erage close to .300, Danny Litwhiler of the Philadelphia Phils also is a late-season sensation with a mighty batting average. Cubs' Pitchers Click Jimmy Wasdell, Peewee Reese and Pete Reiser of the Dodgers have come through as well as expected. Reese is out now with an injured leg. Dominic Dallesandro- of the Cubs hasn't been belting the ball | as heavy in the coast league but he has played regularly. Maurice Van Robays of the Pir- ates is a gem, 'and with more ex- perience probably will boost his bat- ting average. Nick Witek of Glants came through, but his bat mark fell. Art Mahan and Bob Bragan have been Phil regulars but weak gt the plate. National league rookie hurlers | are headed by Vern Olson and Jake Mooty of the Cubs. Other promising slabsters up this year the first time include Johnny Hutchings of the | Reds, Roy Joiner of the Giants and Nick Strincevich of the Bees, Sarnia N.P.A.M. May Decide to Run Grid Team Toronto, Sept. 20. -- Officlals of the Ontario Rugby Football Union will consider the application of a fourth team for the senior series over the week-end, it was learned last night. The contemplated new starter is from the 2-26 Battery, Non-Permanent Active Militia, Sar- nia. Owen Lockhart, on behalf of the Sarnia interests; conferred with Secretary Harold Bailey in Toron- to Thursday, and provided details of the proposed new setup in Tun- nel Town. If the Sarnians are ac- ceptable to Balmy Beach, Camp Borden and Hamilton, they will start practices next week. Majority of the players available for the Battery team are leftovers from the Imperials and include Nick Rapaich, Bernie Moroz, Trip Trepanier Jack Thurlow Gus Scheirs, Bill Schultz, Pat Butler, Jim Butler, Ralph Perry, John Dennis, Ike Norris and Dick Norris. Bummer Stirling, one of the for- mer greats of Canadian football, is a lieutenant in the 2-26 Battery, and Jack Newton, former Varsity and Sarnia coach, is officer com- manding the unit. Whether Stirling will play and Newton act as coach, is not known for the time being The Sarnia project has been in the air for some time, but it was not until yesterday that Tunnel Town fans learned of the move to have the club represented in the senfor series in the place of Sar- nia's perennial champion Imperials. It brought enthusiastic response. Geo. Jewell Paces Skeet Club Shooters Out at the Skeet and Gun Club, Wednesday evening, + Geo. Jewell was the shining light again with the very nice score of twenty-four, to take top honors. Mel Moffett, who has not been shooting very much lately, shot a score of twen- ty; H. Palmer 20; Vic Peacock step- ping close to good scores again with a 19 We noticed a new lady shooter up to try her luck, and did very well for first attempt with a score of 8 birds out of 20 shots. R. Brooks, a non-member, shot a score of 23, and R. Nesbitt with a score of 13. Next Wednesday, there will he a "grab-bag" shoot. Officials of the club would like to see a good turn- oul, for this event. Devon, N.B,, Sept. 20.--Devon de- feated Liverpool Larrupers 3-2 last night, evening at two-all their best. of-five series for the Maritime sen- for bes=all championship.

Syracuse Will Not Have Team In Int-Am Loop Toronto, Sept. 20.--For the first | time since the winter of 1930-31, | Syracuse will be without a repre- | sentative club in minor professional | hockey, when the 1940-41 campaign | opens in November, Syracuse's place | in the International-American Hoc- key League will be taken during the coming season by Buffalo. This or- ganization, linking the old Cana- dian-American and International Leagues, will launch the 1940-41 schedule Sunday, Nov. 3, according to present plans. The International-American Lea- | gue, headed by Maurice Podoloff | of New Haven and John Chick of Windsor, will hold its annual meet- ing in New York Sunday. Plans call for the circuit to oper- ate again in two divisions, with Cleveland, Indianapolis, Pittsburgh, Buffalo and Hershey forming the western group and Springfield, New Haven, Providence and Phila- delphia the eastern group. At Sunday's meeting it is likely that the Buffalo franchise problem will be cleared away. League offi- cials are to make a decision at that time on franchise rights, now in- volving two separate Buffalo in- terests. If a satisfactory arrange- ment is completed, the Buffalo en- try will campaign with Toronto Leaf affiliations, previously held by Syracuse. If the Leafs link with Buffalo, Eddie Powers of Toronto will coach the new Bison City ene try. Powers handled the Syracuse | farm club of the Leafs for six years, from 1933-34 up to and in- cluding 1538-39. Last winter Syra- cuse operated unsuccessfully as an independent unit, with Jack Markle of Owen Sound &s playing coach. Markle is slated to handle an ama- tour t2am in Owen Sound this come ing season, according to present plans. Powers won the Internatione al-American League title at Syra- cuse in 1936-37, beating out Phila- delphia Ramblers in a hectic four- game series. TORONTO POLICE TEAM LOSES TO PORT COLBORNE Port Colborne, Sept. 20.--Playing a benefit softball game against Port Colhorne Dairymen here last night for the Red Cross Society, Toronto Police Force lost a 2-1 decision to the Dairymen in a fast, interesting contest. Ding Hardy, Port Col- borne third baseman, won the game for the locals scoring both runs on a home run in the fifth and a triple in the eighth.

League 4 Toronto Riverdales Eliminate Westmount Broncs on 3-2 Decision All Runs Scored Early as © Minus Services of Three Regulars, Broncs Fail to Produce Runs Against Toronto's Smart Display . Herbie Cooper's Westmount Broncs faded from the Junior soft. ball race for Provincial honors, be- fore a fair crowd at the Motor City Stadium last night, when they lost a heart-breaking 3-2 decision to the East Riverdales of Toronto. Having won the first game, 11-10, it meant a clean sweep of the ser- ies for the Queen City club, who will now meet Windsor in the fin- als. All the runs were scored in the early part of the game last night. Oshawa scored both of their runs in the opening frame, without a single hit. Snowball Wilson opened with a walk and Bidgood also walk- ed. Weatherup flied out to left- field and Wilson scored from 3rd, after the catch, McMullen flied to centre and Bidgood scored after the catch. Mahaffy in Form Bruce Mahaffy, red-headed speed- ball artist, had his left arm in fine fettle last night and he literally mowed down his Westmount oppo- sition. In all he chalked up only five strikeouts but he kept his pitches mixed and received sensational sup. port from his mates. Cuddle, in centre-field, twice gathered in what looked like sure home-run blows by Andy McMullen while Lynn, in right-field, also came through with two catches of vicious line drives, both of which were labelled for ex- tra bases. The Toronto infield also played sparkling ball, every member of the inner guard turning in a brilliant performance at his posi- tion, Bidgood and McConkey were Osh. awa's only big hitters and they had two hits apiece. Red Hardy had the other safety for Oshawa, a lusty double to the fence in the 8th in- ning, with two out but Cameron grounded out to end the ball game. One Big Rally Riverdales got all three of their runs in the second stanza, With one out, Willen singled, Lynn walked and then Mahaffy helped win his own game with a neat two-bagger. Next, Nosworthy doubled into left- field to score Red Mahaffy with what proved the winning run. Riv- erdales did very little fgr the re- mainder of the game against Mc- Conkey's steady and splendid hurl- ing. McConkey struck out ten batters in the game and issued only three walks. His make-shift infield gave him great support too, with Snow=- ball Wilson turning in a bang-up game at 3rd while Bidgood handled first-base duties in fine style. However, Westmount Broncs missed their three regulars, Dean McLaughlin, Bligdon and Bawks all of whom are rated as reliable hit ters. It was in the attack that Westmount fell down last night and with their full team on hand they might easily have reversed the de- cision. Score by Innings: R. H.

RUNNYMEDE GRAD WINS SCHOLARSHIP TO WESTERN London, Ont., Sept. 20.--Dean K. P. R.

The cham- pionship will be decided at Scott Park, Hamilton, next Saturday aft- ernoon. Pip Cornell and Frank Deluca, the opposing hurlers, had control of things, but the former was befter in the clutches and played a major part in putting the Firemen over. Both clubs played smooth ball afield, the game being played in 1 hour and 30 minutes. 000 100 000--1 6 2 Falls View .... 300 010 00x--4 6 2 Deluca and Evans; Cornell and Glumac.
