" sporting activities, otherwise d have nothing of local in- terest to talk about tomorrow but skipping lightly over the opening game of the World Series yesterday afternoon--wasn't that tough. on Pollet? He was just one more good pitch away from a World Series victory. Two men out in the 9th and two strikes on the batter and the socre 2-1 but it was all too much two business, Then came Rudy Yorks homer in the 10th to give Boston Red Sox the decision, They §0 again today and if this series . continues the way it has started out, games. We would have liked to see : t win his first start yesterday but that bad bounce past Marty Marion and Cronin's good choice of inch-hitters proved a tough:com- ation to beat. At that, Cards were far from favored to even win the first game but they have earn- ed a lot more respect now, 'Oshawa's wo surviving soft. ball teams each lost an important decision on Saturday but the Oshawa Legion team made a lit. "tle better showing in their Inter. "AA" series against 1847 Rogers Brothers of Hamilton than the Robson Leather "Tannery" team made right here at home, against the visiting Polymers, Losing the first game of any play- off series when it is a 2-out-of-3 y is bad business but when that first game on your diamond, ther. it is really serious, Tannery ran into the "tough club" they've met since leaving Oshawa softball cir- cles to go into the Provincial playdowns, when they tangled Sarnia Polymers here on Sa- turday.

BOSTON WINS FIRST OF SERIES 3-2 IN 10th INNING 0.C.V.I. Juniors Chalk Up One-Sided Rugby Triumph Over Lindsay Students 31-6 Brilliant Forward Pass Plays Enable Oshawa To Wipe Out Visitors' Early Lead and Pile Up Big Margin In Last Quarter -- Lindsay's |th Heavy "Backs" Plunge Well In Early Stages (By BOB RIFE) The O.C.V.I, Junior rugby squad got off to a good start in their first home game here on Saturday when they defeated the Lindsay Sy Sollagt- | w ans 31-6 before a large crowd The Juniors started off a little shakily in the first quarter but af- ter that they began to roll and col- lected a total of six touchdowns to make a very impressive score at the end of one of the most thrilling games of the grid season so far, The game featured the brilliant passing attack of the Oshawa scho- lars and the heavy plunging of the Lindsay team, Skiteh, the big right halve for Lindsay, was the main threat to the Oshawa win right from the start as he rolled off first down after first down on some very ef- fective bucks over centre, He was overshadowed and only rightly so by the great passer of the Oshawa backfield, young Jerry Wilson, Lindsay Opens Fast 'The game started with the Lind- say team taking the initiative and rolling right through the Oshawa defences for a touchdown in the first five minutes of play. They bucked to the Oshawa ten and then 8kitch took the oval and plun- ged over centre for the first major of the game, The conversion was good and the score read 6-0 for the Lindsay squad, At this point the Oshawa team looked extremely weak and was not till the second quarter that they started to settle down and play a sparkling brand of ball. Wilson shot his first completed forward In the last minutes of the first quarter to Bill Szikszay, who romped to a thirty-five yard gain, George Bra- bin plunged through the right side of the line for a gain of fifteen yards and then after an exchange of kicks the teams reversed ends at the quarter time mark, The O.C.V.I, Juniors then really took to the alr as they saw how ef- fective their passes were and Jerry Wilson flipped a lovely forward to Scluk, the left end of the home- towners, The pass was good for thirty yards and then the same duo teamed up again to repeat their performance, and give Oshawa their first major scoring play, Wilson tri. ed the conversion but it was not good, That left the score at 6-5 for Lindsay, ' Interception Costly The Lindsay squad then started to roll again and they clipped off .a couple of first downs unfil they tried a pass. It was intercepted and 80 Oshawa recovered the ball on their own twenty, Johnny Hart bucked through a mage of the ene- my to his own forty where Lindsay again took over at halftime, Szikszay and Wilson then plaied | the Oshawa gridders in their sec- ond chance for a touchdown, "Ziggy" took a nifty pass over his shoul- der for the second Oshawa tally, Wilson then showed his knowledge of the game or at least the keen coaching he gets from coach Jim Carson, as he made the conversion on a well executed - forward pass. That made it 11-6 for Oshawa and they led for the first time in the game, The teams then were about even in their gain and loss of yards till |i Oshawa again came to the fore as Soluk carried the ball to the Lind- say twenty-five on a nice forward from Wilson, Skea, the hard work- ing quarterback for the locals, then tossed a touchdown pass to "Zig- gy" to make the score 16-6, The conversion attempt failed and the | score remained as is, till the three- quarter time signal came. Oshawa Takes Over From then on it was Oshawa all | hits, the way as they showed complete | p.- superiority in all bucks. The locals rolled right down the field and with Wilson tossing ane other touchdown pass to Sciuk the score became 21-8, The convert fail. ed and then on the kick-off an un- fortunate accident occurred, when Skea received a Lindsay kick and was tackled by Newton, Newton fell the wrong way in his tackle and received what was at first thought to be a fractured hip. The trainers were afrald to move him on this account and so the game was held up till the ambulance. arrived, It was discovered then that he had only a badly bruised pelvis and with eight minutes to play in the game the teams finally got back into ac- tion, John Hart then plowed through the Lindsay line for a big gain to his teammates to the enemy forty, Auld then hit the left side of his line and the buck was good for ten yards and a first down, This gave Wilson the opportunity that he wanted as he chucked a touch- down pass to Gifford that made the score 28-8, the conversion not being good. Wilson then dubbed the kick-off but on the first play of the Lindsay squad Hart clipped through to the secondaries and intercepted the pass. Wilson to Sciuk was the call again as they counted the last tally of the game making it 31-6. Auld then got his hands on the ball again and rolled to the thirty before the final whistle of the fame saved Lindsay from another major counter, Now for the stars--Hines and Maeson were the standouts on the all their passes and Riehaon front wall for the Oshawa team with both boys doing yeoman duty on the deienn ive.

Closing day drew a host of GM golfers, with many interésting and valuable prizes for low gross and net scores, hidden hole, etc, Play- ing in the foursome tourney with his brother, Ray (Mickey McMas~ ter, Jack Simmons and Norm Ward, Earl McMaster got into the low gross winners by one stroke, and his round was climaxed by the hole- in-one on the 18th, a short but tricky 135-yard layout. McMaster was vielng with Jimmie , Daniels for the fall tournament honors, having finished tied. By agreement they were matching their cards in Saturday's play to decide the win- ner, Pldying in another foursome Saturday, Daniels had concluded his round with a birdie two on the 18th, and the final check revealed McMaster's hole-in-one gave him the fall tourney honors over Dan- iels by one stroke. rw Bo Seore St, Louls, Oct, 7--(AP)-~Box score of the first game In the 1046 World Series: Boston (AL) AB R HOA McBride, rf , Moses, rf ' Pesky, ss ...

Not that Joe Cronin's Sox looked like a runaway fire engine in easing out a 3-2 edge over Howie Pollet in a tough 10-inning struggle yester= day. The opener was a ball game the Cardinals easily could have won. Pollet, pitching one of his best games of the year and outshining Tex Hughson despite an aching side, had come from behind and held a 2-1 lead, one strike away from that coveted first World Series victory. Single Starts It Then it happened, Tom McBride who had been unable to knock the ball out of the infield bounced a single between third and short, scoring Don Gutteridge with the tying run, Gutteridge was running for Pinky Higgins whose easy grounder had squirted through Marty Marion's legs for a single. Earl Johnson, a battle of the bulge veteran, set down the Red- birds in order in the ninth and Pol- let got past Dom DiMaggio and the Jilichefeared Ted Willams in the Two were gone and nobody on when York, enjoying a remarkable comeback, ruined a courageous pit- ching job by the Cards' 21-game winning ace with a 376-foot home run smash into the last row of the left field bleachers, Cards Downed That was the ball game, for Johnson survived an error by Johnny Pesky to put down. the Cards with the tying run on third base in the last of the 10th, Harry (The Cat) Brecheen Is manager Eddie Dyer's choice to face Boston today.
