"A" softball league race. It appears that many of last year's White Eagle team have joined up with other local clubs and right now there is some doubt as to whether or not they wi carry on. Actually, we know of at least 25 or 30 capable Inter. "A calibre softball players who haven't yet joined any club for this season's cam- paign and it seems as #f the White Eagles would have no trouble. How- ever, they are having a big practice on Thursday night, at 6:30 o'clock, down at Cowan's Park and they have extended an invitation to all local softball players wishing to play Inter. "A" softball here this season, to be on hand. Every position on the team is wide open and the team manage- ment wants a big turnout of players tomorrow night at Cowan's Park. * * Ww * ith Coach Jerry Cooper whipping the boys through brisk -- almost nightly on the hardwood floor at the Oshawa Arena, the Oshawa Senior "B" lacrosse !team is beginning to round inte shape nicely. They still have a lot of players available and much "weeding out" has been done, with a lot more yet to do. However, the boys are shaping up nicely and they have a lot of speed. The locals open their schedule next Tuesday night here, with Peterboro as the visitors and stern: workouts almost every night from now until Monday, will be the order. There are a couple of the Viponds from Brooklin, along with Cook and Ormiston and Janzen of Bowmanville, together with the local stalwarts so the 1947 Oshawa lacrosse team will have appeal for the sport fans of the entire district, not merely of this city. * J LJ + Oshawa GM-Colts were scheduled to play Peoples Credit Jewellers in a a ans at Kew Gardens tonight but indications late this morning were that the game would be postponed. If so, the Colts will hold a practice tonight, if the weather pegmits, in preparation for their local "opener" here on Friday evening, when Peoples play here, as part of the Rotary Fair program, at Alexandra Park. Should Colts be unable to practice tonight--they will definitely hold a workout tomorrow night.

Afternoon & Night Post, they call him, | By HARRY ECCLES Canadian Press Staff Writer Toronto, May 21--(CP)--A limit field#-as many as the track can accommodate--today appeared a distinct possibility for the 88th re- newal Saturday of the King's plate, the oldest continuously-run horse race in North America. It won't be until Friday after- noon's entries that the definite starting field can be lined up but 23 hopefuls contested the two divi- sions of the Plate trial last Satur- day, and of these at least 10 are certain to start. = Additional pro- bables may bring the field to 14, 15 or 16. In a pinch, the old Woodbine Park race-track In Toronto's east end might accommodate as many as 17 starters. With three more days to go be- fore the starter's bugle sounds for the classic for Canadian-bred three-year-olds, anxious attention was being given to weather proba- ities. Since the opening of the anadian racing season at Wood- bi last Saturday chill winds and frequent showers have kept the crowds huddled in warm clothing. Of the King's Plate field, race- goers already have decided that C. George McCullagh's colt Tularch is the horsce to beat. Tularch is a son of Archworth, whose King's Plate victory in 1939 saw His Majesty personally presenting the 50 guin- KING'S PLATE RACE ON SATURDAY MAY HAVE FULL LIMIT OF ENTRIES eas to Mr. McCullagh, publisher of the Toronto Globe and Mail, Tularch won one division of last Saturday's Plate trial in 1.13 3/5 for the six furlongs, while the other division was captured by Leon- forte, owned by the Braeside Stable operated by Jim Coleman, sports Columnist on Mr , McCullagh's newspaper. Leonforte needed 1.14 3/5 and was driving at the fin- ish whereas Tularch won easily. The Don Earl Stable's highly- regarded Watch Wrack, forced to miss the Plate trial because of a hoof crack, appeared today to be a likely started in the Guineas. The rol worked out yesterday and to- ay Besides Tularch and Leonforte, the virtually-certain starters in- clude Mulligan, Tregaron, Kanlee, Sweep Comet, Victory Chimes, Bur- boy and Dirigo, plus Watch Wrack. The remainder of the field probably won't be established before Friday. Clint Hartung Hurls Another Win for Mates The startling r of New GIANTS LEAD NATIONAL LEAGU E RACE Stafidings INTERNATIONAL LEAGUE ge? sig York Ciants is motched only by the almost incredible perform- ance of their talented rookie, Clint Hartung. Last-place finishers in 1946, the «Giants today lead the Nat- ional League and have won seven out of their last ¢'7ht games. The hard hitting of Johnny Mize and Walker Cooper have figured prominently but the talk among the Giants is all Hartung. Hartung began the season as an outfielder but because of his inept fielding manager Mel Ott pitchers, Hartung had won 25 games without a setback while pitching for an army team, + but all he had was a fast ball. Now he has developed a "wrinkle" and this, coupled with his blinding speed, has enablel him to chalk up two straight victories. : Allows Only 6 Hits Last night his brilliant exhibi- tion propelled the Giants into er Chicago Cubs. nati Reds 9-1 ip a night game, scattering eight hits. In addition, gle. Walker Cooper, who batted in four runs and Johnny Mize, who slammed out four hits in five trips, led the Giant barrage. The Cubs squeezed out a 3-2 10-inning decision over Philadel- phia Phillies at Chicago with pinch-hitter Lonie Frey breaking up the game with a bases loaded single. Harry Walker of the Phils pgrfect four for four to in- is league-leading batting to .400. nk's Hit Wins Game Greenberg knocked Bos- ton Braves out of a second-place deadlock with the Cubs by sing- ling home a run in the 10th in- ning last night that enabled Pitts- burgh Pirates to grab a 4-3 vic- tory. Boston Red Sox tightened the American League's flag chase by trouncing the leading Detroit Ti- gers 8-3 to pull to within one game of the Tigers. Veteran Joe Dobson spaced 10 hits in gaining his fourth win of the year. Ted Williams accounted for Boston's eighth run by slam- m:1g his 10th homer of the year in the fourth, The blow enabled Williams to tie Mize for the ma- jors' home run leadership. Indians Pull Closer Cleveland Indians pulled to within two games of the Tigers by downing the Yankees 4-2 in New York to sweep their three- game series from the Yanks. Ed. Robinson doubled in wh: t proved to be the winning rum in the eighth inning. At Philadelphia Bob Muncrief turned in St. Louis Brown's first win of the year over Philadelphia Athletics as the Browns suppor- ted his four-hit pitching with an 11-1 decision, Chicago White Sox also re- mained within easy hailing dis- tance of the lead hy turning back Washington Senators 7-4, ALBERT ST. MEN WIN OPENER IN CHURCH LEAGUE In the opening game of the Osha- wa Inter-Church Softball League, played on Monday evening at Alex- andra Park, Albert Street Men's Club defeated Christ Church soft- ballers, 17-2. ' Superior hitting and fielding told the tale as both teams displayed southern lightweight circuit. Albert St. took an 8-2 lead in the first three innings and in the 4th they staged a 6-run splurge to put the game on ice. After that they added to it steadily. Christ Church scored their two runs in the first frame and were never in the pic- ture after that, N.

Old Favorite Return On Card Local Mat Show O:chawa'g indoor wrestling season gets off with a big bang tomorrow night. Pat Farwell, a former professional sea flea racer, is the new promoter, and from his first line-up of mat- artists it would appear that Osha- wa fars are to be treated to a show excelling in speed and ability, Two Canadian champions, who several years ruled Canada's ama- teur ranks and also represented Canada internationally, are on the first card. They have be&h wrest- ling professionally for the past few years and have hung up quite a record for themselves in the southern lintweight circuit. "Red" Garner On Card Also appearing on the card is a lad, who in the past has kept Osh- awa fans on their feet with his speed and questionable tactics. Red Garner is re-appearing in Oshawa somewhat heavier, but from all re- ports still as active and more ex- perienced than ever, having just recently returned from Mexico where he kept excitable Mexicans just as excited as he has local fans in the past. The focal point or bout of the evening is to be a big wrestling jamboree in which six wrestlers will wrestle in the same ring at the same time endeavoring to eliminate each other for the feature main bout spot of the evening. The first two men eliminated will later in the evening be paired off for a 30-minute preliminary bout, The second pair will return in a three-fall semi-final, while the two remaining wrestlers will return in a 60-minute three-fall final. All in all, the roof may be left on the arena when Jim Allen, Canadian Champion; Ted McKinley, ex-Can- adian champ; Red Garner, Ernie Hughson, Pete Pernokis and Har- vey Stanfield tangle in the battle- royal at Oshawa Arena next Thurs- day night. Old Feud Revived Oshawa' wrestling fans may be given an opportunity to witness the re-kindlingt of an old feud that started some ten years ago in the local shows, when the promo- tion of amateur wrestling was at- tracting iderable attenti lo- cally. The participants of the feud, both amateur grapplers from To- ronto, at that time put on.five fast torrid main goes in succession in an Oshawa. ring without a clear- cut winner being decided on, the bouts either ending in the disquali- fication of both grapplers or a dis- puted decision. Ted McKinley, several times Can- adian bantamweight champion, al- So British Empire and Olympic Team member, is listed along with Red Garner, Canadian Army champion, inthe elimination "Bat- tle-Royal" booked as the feature have been wrestling professionally for some time.

Melenchuck, on the mound for the "Heppers", was not as "hep" as he needed to be and the Eager Bea- vers flooded the diamond with base- hits and more base-hits. Cliff Mc. Knight's homer was the only 4-ply blow of the evening at that. Industrial Puck Loop "'Feed" Off Cancellation of the Oshawa In- dustrial Hockey League banquet, originally scheduled for tomorrow night at the Genosha Hotel was an- nounced today. Cancellation fol- lowed a meeting of league directors whose investigations have revealed that by far the majority of players in the league have taken an ap- pathetic attitude toward the affair due primarily to the cost involved. However, further arrangements are being made for a smaller ga- thering in the near future, at which time presentation of tro- phies, crests, etc., will be presented. It is the belief of most players that the originally planned banquet should have been financed from the league treasury rather than by making an individual assessment to the players themselves, At the league meeting the status of finances was explained and it was assured that a return would be made to each team. The amount to be returned would be equal to or greater that the amount of the original entry fee. It was further pointed out that a full" financial statement would be. forthcoming and it is expected that this will be in the hands of team managers within the next two weeks.
