Bowles whipped Tip Tops 5-1 on Wednesday night to knock Sammy Sheksky's men out of the top spot and now Bowles Lunch want a win here badly tonight, in order to keep pace with Peoples or perhaps even pass them, depending how the Jewellers make out against the Toppers tonight in Toronto. "Bus" Benson is well-known to Oshawa softball fans, having pitched for C.P.R. against the Pepsi-Colas in the 1940 O.AS.A. Inter, "A" semi-finals while last year, he was with Peoples in the Beaches League race. Dean McLaughlin will be on the mound for the Colts tonight and a real pitcher's battle is expected. L J A There are a couple of exhibition baseball games booked for Alexandra Park on Saturday, both of which deserve a big attendance. In the*afterhoon, at 2.45 o'clock, Oshawa's 0.B.A. Juvenile entry will take on the Century Cleaners, crack Juvenile team of the Norih To- ronto Association. The local Juveniles are rarin' to get into action and their performance tomorrow aft will be watched with great interest. Tomorrow evening, will see the B'Nai B'Rith team meeting Stanton's Fuels, one of the best for ¢ in T this Both of these gafnes will be good baseball attractions. Century Cleaners have three outstanding 16-year-old baseball stars in Yank Lipka, a young' six-footer who can throw with the best of 'em on anybody's mound, "Itsy" Ler, a sensational shortstop and Harold Fiskari starry hitter and the team's catcher. LJ Ld + There's not much action on the local softball front for tonight, although that Inter. "AA" game at Cowan's Park, between Skinners and Tannery 'will draw a fair crowd. since each team has its own big follow= ing. Westmount visit Aces at Alexandra Park and Brooklin Dodgers come in to Bathe Park, to meet Dunn's Tailors while Reed's Florists and West- mount Indians clash in Westmount. Oshawa B'Nai B'Rith are playing down in Bowmanville tonight and the local Juniors must win this one if they hope to catch the league-leading Cobourg Kiwanis, before the schedule ends. There are two O.M.B.A. games tonight also, postponed from last night because many of the players had to work overtime. Whit- by Rotary visits Cay Lumber over at the Connaught Park (Jarvis St.) while Victors visit Sunnyside Combines at Sunnyside Park. LJ * LJ ' The softball game that many local Inter. "A" fans have been waiting to see, comes up tomorrow (Saturday) evening at Alexandra Park when U.AW.A. and Legionnaires clash in a league fixture, Right now, the Legion team is making a determined bid to overtake U.A.W.A. and take first place in the league race but the Union team has a 2-game lead and they will be out to increase it tomorrow might. A win Saturday will practically put U.A.W.A. in the clear, although there are a few postponed games yet to be played, which may make a difference to the final standing. LJ * * "Moe" Breslin, fully recovered from the nerve-wracking past hockey season when his team won the: O.M.H.A. Juvenile "B" championship, I Sn By Geo. BH. Campbell comes up with another request. This time he wants a plug for the big, Canadian Legion show being put on by the Bowmanville Branch tonight and Saturday. That B'Nai B'Rith-Bowmanville game tonight is part of the program but "Moe" insists the real big sporting event is the beauty contest, to which several other winners have been Invited. There's a soap box derby too on Saturday afternoon. No doubt many local citizens will take in the event at Bowmanville to give the Legion Branch down there, a boost in their work, * * * Chick Appel of Stratford tells us that Roy Mason has lined up a flock of Northern Ontario prospects for his Junior "A" entry this year. Mason has got 11 Northern Ontario puck-chasers, including an entire forward line and two defencemen from Copper Cliff and five from Kirkland Lake.

Likely Benson Tonight Since Dowey got this last assign- ment, it is probable that "Bus" son, the league's most effective slow-ball artist, will go to the mound tonight at Alexandra Park, against the GM-Colts. Benson de- feated GM-Colts in their last meet but in a previous start, the Colts knocked off Benson and the Bowles team, so the Oshawa squad will enter tonight's game with plenty' of confidence. They have been playing a fine brand of defensive fielding but one bad has proven their down- fall in about five of their last six starts. If the Oshawa gang can get away from this nasty habit tonight, they should be able to come up with a win over the green-shirted nine from Toronto, Dean McLaughlin will likely get the call to handle the pitching chore for the Oshawa squad to- night and if he has his fine drop working, the Bowles' batters will have plenty of trouble getting their hits, The Man to Watch While Bowles Lunch have seve eral dangerous batters in Apps, Burtch, Krol, McDowell and Ben- son, Joe Spring, their heavy-hit- ting first baseman, who is at pres- ent right on Stricker's heels in the BOWLES LUNCH VISIT GM-COLTS THIS EVENING FOR BEACHES LEAGUE GAME brilliant 5-3 victory over Tip Top | ing Beaches League batting race, will be the man to watch. Spring has enjoyed good success against Osh- awa hurlers and of course, he'll be out to boost his average with two or three solid blows here tonight. Friday night softhall games have proven very popular with the local sport fans and no doubt tonights game will attract another large attendance at Alexandra Park to see this battle hetween Bowles Lunch and the GM-Colts. SIZZLING GOLF IN CANADIAN OPEN PLAY PORKY OLIVER IS SENSATIONAL IN THURS. PLAY Scarboro Golf and Country Club, Toronto, July 18--(CP) -- If they don't succumb to the ever-increas- ing pressure, Ed (Porky) Oliver of Wilmington, Del, and South Afri- ca's seemingly imperturbable Bob- by Locke may be headed for a last round battle in the $10,000 Cana- dian Open golf championship com- parable to the final stand they made in the Chicago Tam O'Shanter tournament less than two weeks ago. Locke won that one, but in To- ronto where Scarboro's Par 71 is be- ing treated with the greatest dis- respect, the large and rotund Oli- ver has the inside track. Oliver Takes Lead Tied with Locke at 68 for third place in Wednesday's opening round, Oliver took the half-way lead in the T72-hole tourney yester- day by shooting an eight-under-par that tied the competitive course record. With 131 for 36 holes, he was three strokes ahead of Locke, who finally got his magic putter work- ing on the last few holes of the se- cond round to post a 66. Oliver had 10 one-putt greens and on each of these scored a birdie. On seven others he got his par, but on the 12th took a double-bogey six when his second landed in a ditch and he had to pick out with a stroke penalty, Locke injected five birdies, an eagle, 10 pars and two bogeys into his game but wag still dissatisfied with his putter, Fans Are Wondering More than 2,000 spectators gasped when he took a bogey four on the par three fourth by casually three- putting and about 1,000 were a bit horrified as he took another four on the par three 14th. The other 1,000 of the gallery had long since departed to trudge in the torrid backwash of Oliver's birdie-infested round. Burly Clayton Heafner of Char- lotte, N. C., who with Stan Leonard of Vancouver played in the same threesome as Locke, was tied for third with host pro Bob Gray, and top Canadian George Peyton of Newport News, Va. They shot 136 for the first 36 holes. First day leader Johnny Palmer of Badin, N..C,, slipped to a 73 that added to his opening G8, drop- ping him to 139 with seven others. Lawson Little of Cleveland; Skee Riegel of Upper Darby, Pa., Herman Keiser of Akron, Ohio; Elmer Blow- er of Toronto} Leo O'Grady, of East Amherst, N. Y.; George Shoux of Chicago and Skip Alexander of Lex- ington, N. C. Wisnock Not Far Back Grouped at 137 were amateur Nick Wisnock of Detroit; Ed Fur- gol of Pontiac, Mich.; and Tony Penna of Cincinnati. At 138 were U. 8. Open champion Lew Wor- sham; Billy Nary of Los Angeles and Bill Kerr of Toronto. Forecasters promised that the golf weather will continue clear and warm today and if Oliver's and Locke' shots keep in step, tomor- row's final 18 holes could be strictly a two-man race. LES CANADIENS SONT LA IN BOXLA Longueuil, Que., July 18 -- (CP)-- Montreal Canadians toppled Quebec Montagnards 13-9 here last night in a Quebec Lacrosse Association Sen- ior game. Quebec's loss was their first of the season at a Montreal rink and left them six points be- hind Cornwall. Sets Three Golf Records' In Dazzling Display ia Ed (Porky) Oliver, Wilmington, Del. pro golfer, is happy to oblige with his autograph after carding an eight- under-par 63 in the Canadian Open at Scarboro yesterday. His 63 is a new 18-hole record for the Canadian Open, a new competitive record for Scarboro's sporty layout, and his two-day total of 68-63--131 (11 under par) esta, lishes a new halfway-mark record for the Open, which Oliver now leads by three strokes over Bobby Locke, South African star, who scored a 66 yesterday, --Photo by Globe and Mail FITTINGS EDGE ACES IN UPSET Fittings played at home last night to the Aces down at Cowans Park and they won a very close upset win 17-16. The game was another one of those hit and run contests where everybody hits and almost every- body scores a run, The Aces got a lead in the second inning 'on '& big rally but the Fit- tings kids moved right back in the next frame with-an even bigger one to overcome the lead. It was that way all through the game and the outcome was still in doubt till the Fittings team scored twp runs in the last of the ninth to win by one run. Fittings took the lead in their half of the first on a single run. Another in the last of the secqnd gave them two runs. The Aces fin. ally replied with a six run rally in the top of that second frame and that made it 6.2 going into the third. Aces blew in two runs to the Fit- tings boys seven and that put Fit- tings out in front again 9.8. Aces kept up their scoring however in the next inning and made it 11-9 for themselves adding another in the sixth to make it an even dozen. Fittings did it again in another big inning, the last of the sixth with four runs making it 13-12 for them, More tallles were racked up in the eighth which left it 16-15 for Aces going into the ninth. That was when Fittings showed their stuff for they allowed The Aces no runs and came through with a game winning two run rally in the last of the ninth, just like in the story books.
