"A" Soft- ball play-offs since they swept the city finals from White Eagles in three straight, winning the last half of a doubleheader, Saturday, by a 7-3 count, up at Alexandra Park. The Legion were full value for their championship win and Rom- aniski, who did the pitching for Legion, had a four hitter, allowing three runs to score against im) Al. Woods chucked for the Eagles and did his usual good job but the spirit of the Eagles seemed to have gone and though they held the Legion to a lower score, they seemed to know they were beaten. Legion tallied the first runs of the game in the last of the second after a first inning of scoreless ball. Three hits, one of them a double by Rom- aniski, scored the three runs to put the Legionnaires out in front. Eagles bounced right back to tie the game when they scored three tallies in the top of the third on two hits and two walks. Romaniski at this point was a little wild, though he calmed down in the next innings to keep the Eagles off the bases. Legion swept back into the lead in the last of the fourth when they scored one run, Romaniski got to first ox) an error and then eon- tinued to third on an outfield bobble of Wilson's liner. An outfield out then forced the run in to give Legion the lead, 4-3. They salted away the game in the next inning on another run. Reigle's single and McMullen's powdering blow through the mound accounted for the tally. And then just to prove that they could do it, the Legion kept in the scoring parade by pot- ting two more runs in the last of the seventh on three hits. Two singles and Johnny Bathe's long double did the trick, Reigle and Brisebois were the runners who scampered over the platter with the runs, A nifty double play was executed by Legion to squelch the one deadly uprising of the Eagles in the top of the sixth, A ball was hit to the mound, Romaniski wheeled, threw to second in front of the runner and Bathe completed the double-play by whipping the ball to first base ahead of the hitter. Legionnaires went on to win the game easily with no more runs scoring. They will now meet the winner of the Peterborough City finals in the first round O.AS.A. play-downs. DeLavals and Knights of Columbus are battling it out for that honor now.

In .the game Legion pulled ahead from the start only to be overtaken by Eagles in the last of the third. But the Legion kept scoring runs and soon took the lead again and kept way out in front the rest of the tilt. Al McKee was the pitcher chosen by Eagles for this first half of the doubleheader. He gave up. 14 hits for 16 runs and though he showed well in the earlier innings he soon weakened along with the play of his team and the Legion won easily. Big Jack McConkey was the Legion chucker and he had his wor- ries in the early part of the game but he soon settled down to some great pitching that saw him give up five hits for four runs. Legion tallied single runs in the first and second innings to take a two run lead. This was shortlived however when Eagles got three hits and three runs in the last of the third to make it 3-2 for them. Legion then marched ahead in the top of the fourth and fifth in- nings when they burst into the run column with two and three runs respectively to make it 7-3. Lefty Turner hit a long homer in that latter inning and it was followed by Seneco's blow to right field that was bobbled and allowed him to score easily. Then in the top of the sixth Legion made it 10-3 with another three run splurge on a double by Reigle, a single and a couple of walks. Eagles finally made answer to these runs with one of their own in the last of the sixth on a hit and three errors which landed Ted Ros- pond at home plate. Three up and three down in the seventh, and then Legion scored five runs in the fop of the eighth and put the game away in the bag with another run in the top of the ninth making it 16-4. Rospond and Logeman Were the best of.the Eagles, with Turner and Reigle booming the pill around for Legion. R.H.E.

MATCH Dunn's Tailors were finally beat- en, losing their first defeat of the entire season, on Saturday evening at Kew Gardens, in a return exhi- bition game with the Bowles Lunch juniors, which the Bowles boys took by a 9-4 count. Bowles scored five runs in their first inning on a walk, an error, double by Shiels and another two- bagger by Ellis, then a hit by Dick- enson followed by an infic\1-error. Dunn's scored four runs in the second when Loreno homered, Dart was safe on an error then W. Mae- son homered. Tutak walked and then with two out, Scolt singled scoring Tutak. That made it 5-4 and in the last of the second, Bowles scored four more runs to make it 9-4. After that, Tutak for Oshawa and Bunny Maeson, who took over in the fifth inning and Aspinall for Bowles and Ellis, who changed with him in fifth inning also, all pitched shutout ball from the third inning to the finish of the nine-inning game. Actually, the Oshawa boys didn't even get a single safe hit after the second inning and Bowles only had two separated singles.

VETO NEON LIGHTS Vancouver -- (CP) -- Suggestion that Siwash Rock, off Stanley Park be decorated in some way to attract attention has been vetoed by the Parks Board. The rock, represent- ing in Indian folklore a lover wait- ing for his sweetheart and made famous in one of Pauline Johnson's poems, will remain as it is, without benefit of neon light or paint. IN place, "I always will like wrestling, but I must devote more time to my farm- ing, my family and the pleasure of living." During the war Marshall with- 'drew from the ring to devote all his time to producing food, but for the past two years has accepted scores of matches, especially in the Rocky Mountain region. He has found it increasingly difficult to hop around the country and have any time left for his farm business. Sometimes his family has had to accompany him on wrestling trips to have jany time with him. Ma 1 was born 41 years ago lon a farm near La Junta that his father, H. C. Marshall, still owns. 'His love for farming always has been strong, but much of the time while he was attending Denver and Iowa universities, and the past 18 years of wrestling he has been away --but his interest in agriculture has Ex.wrestling Champion Marshall harvests wheat crop. counters. A year ago he posted $100,000 that he could defeat Joe Louis and Billy Conn in consecutive four- round bouts, with each cgntestant using his own means of /combat-- but the boxing champ and con- tender would not meet Marshall. "I -expect to keep in top condi- tion," Marshall says, "because I think every person owes it to him- self to do so. You have only one body, and the best of care is none | too good. "Amateur wrestling is the great- est sport in the world for boys, especially if they continue it all through life. It builds bodies and develops clear thinking. There are so many worthwhile things in life, and right living helps you to en- joy them. Each of us should try and make this a better world in which to live." ; Red Raiders To See Metras' Tactical Films After the visit of Johnny Metras and his star track and rugby boys to Oshawa over the week-end, it was almost sure to have some pleas- ant developments for the Red Raider rugby teams. Mr, Metras left in the care of the Raiders some Tactical Play films, which the directors of the locals will be showing to their teams this coming Wednesday night. We are not just sure of the place yet, but that will be announced tonight at the regular practice up at Alexan- dra Park. The player situation this year is the reverse of last, with a large turnout of junior players assuring a nice entry, and a poor turn-out of Intermediates which could lead to a situation that is not pleasant to think of. We suspect, however, that most of the Intermediates are shirking the idea of training and expect to get on the team without such work, Of course, softball may have something to do with a lot of cases, but there are a few who may get a rude awakening when they turn up at the last minute and ex- pect a regular berth en the team. The practice Sunday morning was very well attended, especially by the Juniors, and it looks like we will have a heavy, rugged, and much faster team than last year in the Big Four Junior group. A lot of new faces are appearing at these workouts, along with a few of last year's squad. John Porayko, Gord. Freeman, Sobanski, and many other likely looking players have been working well, Yeah, and even Ross Drew is tak- ing the workouts with the fellahs. Maybe he should drag a few other members of the executive into the workouts to help them get rid of that hour-glass figure. You know, the one with all the sand in the bottom. Welland Bait Casters Gain Most Points Toronto, Aug. 26 -- (CP) -- Ted Horrocks of Hamilton scored a nar- row victory in the Toronto Anglers' and Hunters Association Class A fly casting tournament Saturday at the Canadian National Exhibition.. Horrocks posted a low 10 to edge out Douglas Elliott of Welland, who scored 11. Scored on a demerit basis, Hor- rocks won the title by dropping 10 points on misses of the flat pulls- eye. Third place went to I. Stewart of Hamilton with 12 and R. A. Tay- lor of Toronto was fourth with 15. In class a balf-ounce bait accur- acy.

Victory Aces Eliminate Ajax Midget Playoffs Oshawa's Midget Team Advances Over Ajax in First Round of Provin- cial Playdowns--Visit- ors Make Good Show- ing and Give Aces a Scare -- Seles Fans 17 Batters but Walks 11 Oshawa Victory Aces advanced to the Eastern Ontario finals in the 0.A.S.A. Midget playoffs, when they defeated Ajax Midgets 14-9 down at Victory Park on Saturday after- noon, to sweep the first Provincial playoff round in two-straight games. D. Seles was in rare form again for the Victory Aces, as far as strikeouts are concerned, chalking up 17 whiffers in the 9-inning con- dest." However, he was inclined to be wild and he gave up no fewer than eleven free tickets to first base. Make Use of Chances The alert Ajax youngsters made good use of their chances. The odd error by the Victory Ace team help- ed out too and the Ajax boys in- jected a hit here and there, with runners on bases, to make it quite an interesting battle. A double by Deeth in the fourth brought 'the score up .to 4-2 for Ajax but Aces came right back in their half of that same nining to score five runs. Wasylyk doubled and so did Rudka after Zakarow and Tippett had opened with singles and then Seles and 'Bak had 'both been put out. L. Seles then hit a homer to complete the 5-run rally. Victory Aces were never headed after that, scoring three runs in the 5th on a double by Bak and two in the 7th and two more in the 8th, when Tippett homered, Ajax kept fighting back however, scored two in the fifth when Ariss tripled after Ogden had walked. In the 8th, Ajax made their last des- perate bid and netted three runs. Carleton walked, Schmidke fanned but Deeth tripled and Greenough hit a homer. That made it 9-12 but Aces got two in the 8th, as mentioned and in the 9th, Ajax failed to score. Deeth was the big hitter for Ajax, getting two hits off Seles, despite his 17 strikeouts. Seles only allowed five hits all told. Bak, with two doubles and a triple, was the best at the plate for Aces with L. Seles having three walks, a homer and a single for a perfect afternoon. R.H.E.
