) ® GOODFYEAR LEGION ADVANCES IN INTER. "AA"--OSHAWA JUVEN Oshawa Legion Again Triumphs In Easy Fashion In Peterhoro To Sweep Series Two-Straight Liftlock City '"Automo- tives" No Match For Oshawa's Heavy-Hitting Legion Boys, Even On Own Diamond -- Home- sters Get Lone Tally On Fielder's Choice -- Wad- dell and Dionne Pace Oshawa Attack Oshawa Legion captured the 0O.A.8.A. Intermediate "AA" honors for the Eastern Ontario zone, when they again trounced Peterborough "Automotives", 14-1, on Saturday evening, right in the Liftlock City. Once again 'the Peterborough club failed to show sufficient of what it takes to halt the heavy- hitting Oshawa Legion boys. John- ny Maga, on the mound for Osha- wa, hurled a nifty brand of 4-hit softball and permitted only one run, At that, he should have had a shutout. In the 3rd inning with the bases loaded on a single and two walks, with one out, Gordon grounded to Hobbs at 1st and the Oshawa 1st- baseman took the safe out at his own base rather than throw to the plate for the force-out. Maga then fanned Watson to end the inning, Maga In Fine Form Maga chalked up ten strikeouts, fanning the first four batters to face him. The Automotives threat- ened also in the 2nd with two one and one out but after the 3rd, they didn't have a man reach 3rd. Meredith had two of the four hits allowed by Maga and scored his team's only run. Oshawa took an early lead and but for a ground-rule due to a limited area in right field, would have had two homers in the first inning. McIntyre opened with a walk and Waddell doubled to right. Hobbs singled, then Dionne doub- led to right for what should have been an easy homer but for the ruling In the 3rd frame, Hobbs forced Waddell, who had walked. Dionne doubled, Andrews fanned, then Maga singled and so did Cook and Jackson drew a walk. Three run- ners crossed the plate. , Legion added two more in the 4th and two in the 5th and then staged a 4-run splurge in the 6th, In the 9th, McIntyre walked and Waddell got his second double and Hobbs singled but Waddell was nipped at the plate. That was Oshawa's last run. Waddell and Dionne "Rube" Waddell, with two hom- ers, three singles and a walk for a perfect night at the plate, was easily Oshawa's big hitters. Big Bob Dionne was next in line. He had two doubles and a single. Hobbs, with three hits, Andrews, Cook and Jackson with two aplece, were othe ers who showed power at the dish, Score by Innings: R.

Phone 3939 ACHTING ARNS (By "The Barnacle") ROUGH WEATHER HOLDS UP SAILING AT O.Y.C. ON SUNDAY Weather conditions over the week end were against the local and vis- iting yachismen. High winds and a heavy sea forced the postponement of a "Crewette" Race Sunday after- noon. This is the third time this race has been postponed but there is still hopes of it being sailed off. Visiting Yachtsmen were forced to turn back to a haven in Oshawa Sunday noon after leaving their anchorage there earlier that morn- ing. Visitors were as follows: "Pinion"--E. Grundy, N.Y.C., Mr. and Mrs. G. Hurell, F, Pendock, D. Waddell. "Diana""--H. Howard, N.Y.C, E. Howard, R. Brooks, Alex Bow. "Question"--A. Simmons, NY.C, Mr. and Mrs. Gorman, Jerry Gor- man, "El Viento"--D. NY.C, NY.C. Bruce, crews unknown. "Mary Lou"--L. Scoline, Crews unknown. "Aphrodite"--R. B. Barr, R.C.Y.C. H. 8. Hutchison, P. B. Smith, R. B. Hague. "Cherie"--Dr. B. Dickson, R.C.Y. C. M. Mallan, R. Sorsoleil, The O.Y.C. was only too pleased to harbour these crafts for the week end and may they have a pleasant and safe sall to their home waters. In the past few years the O.Y.C. has used its power boat as a life saving craft. Sunday afternoon it was on the job again. George Gib- bard, who was acting as lifé-guard for the week end, noticed Roy Mc- Nabb, in his vessel called the "Snipe", was in difficulties. His rud- der had broken and was having trouble getting his sail down. Quick action on the part of George, had him along side the stricken vessel within a few minutes saving what might have been something serious. Tkaing two of the "Snipes" crew aboard the power boat, it headed for the good old "Terra-Firma" with the injured craft being towed in its wake. Once again the O.Y.C. can take a bow for quick action and being on hand when needed. Mr, 'and Mrs. Ed. Holland, our Club caterers, are leaving us Mon- day and we wish to thank them for the splendid job they did for us and we wish them both lots of luek in the future, There will be big doings every Tuesday and Thursday evenings, fellows, so don't forget to show up. There will be pool, cards, chit chats, and what-not. Get down about 8.00 o'clock and have a good time. Let's make these social eve- nings a big success. All those interested in bowling this year, talk it up a bit around the club, so we can get it organized and get off to a rip-roaring start. We wish to welcome our newest member, Frank Grindly, to the crew of the O.Y.C. He joins us through the sponsorship of our Commodore Ralph Schoffield. Frank was at the helm of the Rotary Fair this year and has proven himself an out- standing supporter of several ore ganizations. . Two novice races were held Sat- urday with Reg.

Sport Fallacies ALTHOUGH Spanish and Span- ish-speaking people are the greatest fans of the bull fight, it wasn't a Spaniard who popularized bull fighting. In the great days of the Roman Empire, bloodthirsty Romans flock ed to the Colosseum to watch games put on there by ambitious politici- ans who were seeking public favor. Their fondness for such entertain- ment was so great that politicians vied with each other to introduce new dnd exciting (as well as gory) spectacles. Julius Casear sponsored the bull fight. It provided the thrills and gore Roman crowds liked. It added greatly to Caesar's popylarity. After the empire fell, the bull fight spread to other countries. In Spain it found the most esthusiastic audiences, and there it has stayed, playing to tremendous crowds for many years, FROM OWENS TO OWEN -- OR -- pr MR. OWEN -- WHERE'S HE GOIN'? yor NEW BROAD JUMP RECORD, shattering the former world mark of 26 feet 8% inches set by Jesse Owens in 1035, has been placed on the books by Arnold (Mickey) Owen, the Brooklyn-Mexican jumping bean whose baseball leaps have made sports page headlines all sea- son. Owen, jumping back to the United States, easily cracked Owen's mark. (International) Guy Lombardo - Cops Gold Cup Racing Classic Detroit, Sept. 3.--Canadian-born Band Leader Guy Lombardo, win- ning every one of the 80-mile race's three heats, captured speed boat racing's International Gold Cup here Monday with his Tempo VI, winner of the same race in 1939 under the colors of Zalmon Sim- mons. Lombardo, & native of London, Ont., averaged a record 68.128 miles an hour in winning the first post- war renewal of the classic, last run in 1940. One other Canadian entry failed to start and a second was forced out in the second qualifying heat. After finishing second in both the first two heats and setting a three-mile lap record of 77.911 in the final leg, Dan Arena of Oak- land, Cal, was forced out of the race when his Miss 'Golden Gate III 'developed oil-line trouble just two miles from the finish, Break It was a heartbreaking windup for Arena, finished second to Count Theo of Italy in the 1038 race here and was easily with- in reach of & 30-mile heat record when forced out on the last lap today. ' Arena had turned every one of the first nine laps of the final heat in better times than the nine-year- old heat mark of 68.645 miles an hour, set in 1937 by Herb Mendel- son in his white-hulled Notre Dame. Lombardo, however, drove the steadiest race of the day to come through almost as expected and add the coveted Gold Cup to his National * Sweepstakes champion- ship won a couple of weeks ago at Red Bank, NJ. It was the band leader's first year in major speed boat competition. Supercharger 'Trouble A blown supercharger, the same difficulty that forced Ernie Wil- son's Miss Canada out of the 1039 Gold Cup race after a single heat, again put the Ingersoll, 'Ont. craft out of the 1946 renewal. Miss Can- ada, which appeared a sure winner of the first qualifying heat after opening up an early lead of 400 yards in the first three laps under the expert guidance of Harold Wil- son, 35-year-old son of the owner, was still ont in front when she stalled about three-quarters of the way through the sixth lap of the 10-lap, 30-mile qualifying test. George Robson, 1946 Indianapolis King, Killed In Crash Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 3.--Six racing cars piled up on the dust-choked dirt track at Lakewood Park near here Monday, killing George Rob- 1946 Indianapolis speedway winner, and race-driver George Barringer, and injuring two other drivers. Witness said Robson, who had jumped from his own wrecked car, was struck down and killed in- stantly by another car as he tried to get off the track in the blinding dust. Only three entrants in the 100- mile race were not involved. The dust was so thick on .the red-clay oval that the winner, Ted Horn, said he was "flying blind" when he smacked into the mass pile-up. Crowd of 38,500 Horn of Patterson, N.J., was not injured. A Labor Day crowd of 38,- 500 saw the wreck. The injured were Z. R. (Bud) Bardowski, 32, of Gary, Ind, and Billy Devore of Indianapolis. The pile-up started when Robson, roaring into the far turn on the 98th lap around the one-mile track, swerved to miss Devore's crippled machine, which was limping along in the dust at low speed. Robson's car was struck by Bar- ringer's, and caromed into Devore. He jumped from the car, witnesses said, and was stumbling across the track when a fourth car, believed to be that of George Connors, smashed into him. Bardowski and Horn then piled into the dust-shrouded tangle. The race was stopped immediate- ly, and Horn, who was leading, was declared the winner because more than 55 per cent of the course had been run. Connors of Indianapolis was second and Steve 'Truchan thir Robson, 32, lived at Glendale, Cal, near Los Angeles. Barringer was from San Antonio, Tex. Sport Shorts From Britain By JACK SULLIVAN (Canadian Press Staff Writer) London, Sept. 6.--(CP)--A Trini- dad-born "Streak of Ink" is Brit- ain's hope for the 1948 Olympic .Games in the 100-yard Event. For interested countries, his name is E. McDonald Bailey, and he has all the attributes of a great champion, including a stout heart and determ- ination. The 20-year-old Jamaican equal- led Eric Liddell's 23-year-old Brit- ish record of 9.7 seconds over the distance in fhree successive starts this year, but, according to officials the first two didn't count. He gain- ed recognition on the third try. His first record-equalling dash was ruled out because of a "short track"; his second because officials said a "strong wind" helped him. But the British Jesse Owens wasn't daunted, Sports writers plugged for him, some even hinting the "color line" had something to do with the no-record decisions, He finally gained recognition be- fore a Bank Holiday crowd of 50,000 at White City Stadium, London, in an England-France track meet. There was no wind; no doubt about the measurement of the track; no snags anywhere. Off to a slow start, he hurtled into a lead over his three rivals be- fore the halfway-mark and breezed home three yards in front. Ninety minutes later, officials announced the youngster had equalled Liddell's record and the huge crowd gave him thunderous applause, It was learne later he had pulled a leg muscle in the dash. Sports writers now are optimistic the dusky runner will break his record and it wouldn't surprise anyone who has seen him if he did. . & & Johnny Morton, england and West Ham United football winger who in March, 1939, was told he would never play soccer again, is back in training--and hopes to turn out for his old club when the season starts Aug. 31. He suffered a knee injury during the 1838-39 season and he was 50 sure he would play again that he refusd the pay- ment offered him by the Football League to all men put out of the game by injury.

An in-and-out team all season, the Fittings' team picked a bad time to comé up with one of their mediocre displays and the classy Kingston club moved right in to take a clean-cut victory, showing a world of hitting power and plenty of defensive strength. Cassidy Too Good Young Cassidy, on the mound for Kingston, was too good for the Oshawa boys. He chalked up 8 strikeouts and in addition, he re- ceived excellent support from his mates, In the 6th, Chopik drew a walk with one out. Brown singled to send Chopik to 3rd and then he scored on an infield out and a bad throw to the plate let Brown score also. Oshawa loaded the bases in the th, with two out,r when Arnold walked, Brooks and Keeler each singled but Chopik popped up to end the threat. In the 8th, Arnold was safe on McCormack's error and advanced as Brooks was thrown out. Keeler walked and Arnold moved to 3rd on a passed ball, then Chopik got a life on an error by Garrah and Arnold scored on the bobble, for Oshawa's 3rd and last run.

Bellinger flied out but Carnegie walked. Cassidy popped up to the catcher but Aitkens was safe on an error by DeMille, then MecIlsuhm doubled to complete the 3-run rally. In the 4th, Kingston added four more runs and drove DeMille from the mound, to be replaced by Der- vent, who finished it out. Hits by Bellinger, Carnegie, Cassidy and VeCormack built up this big splurge. A walk to Bellinger followed by 8-0 lead in the 5th. They added an outfield error gave Kingston a one in the 7th on a walk and three singles.
