PAGE TEN THE DAILY TI MES-GAZETTE TUESDAY, AUGUST 31, 1948 | NAPSHOTS °" Before getting around to telling about what happened last night in the sports whirl around these parts,-aye'd better remind the local sport fans of the two big attractions on the books for tonight. First of all, at 6:15 o'clock, at Alexandra Park, Oshawa Pedlars meet Point Anne Cementmen in the second game of the OASA Intermediate "A" first round playoffs. Pedlars won a 3-0 shutout down at Point Anne on Saturday, with Meulerheester stopping Point Anne cold with his two. hit pitching display. Frank Sedore, perennial mentor of Point Anne teams, may toss Maracle at Pedlars tonight or young Boyle, the Belleville hurler who won the OASA junior title a few years back. Point Anne have several veterans on their club, including Genereux and Green, who were playing against Varcoe's in the OASA Intermediate "A" playoffs 10 years ago. Frank Sedore has never had much success against Oshawa softball opposition and unless he can win this one here tonight, he'll be on the short end again. SORT A * +* > The other local sports feature tonight is the Senior "B" lacrosse game down at the Oshawa Arena. Scarbore visits Oshawa tonight and it's the last local lacrosse game of the group schedule with Oshawa going to Peterbere on Friday night and then the playoffs get under way the following week. Oshawa dropped an 8-7 decision up in Orillia last night, a tight tussle in which the homesters scraped out a two-goal lead in the first half and Oshawa almost wiped it out in the fourth period. The locals came out of the Orillia game last night in good shape and are anxious te tangle with Scarboro tonight. Scarboro whipped Oshawa 8-6 in overtime in their last meeting and several of the Oshawa players came home with hemstitching jobs in their noggins. New they have ideas in their noggins and tonight's game here may be mere than interesting. > > A Oshawa Hunt Club Juniors defeated Peterboro Kiwanis 4-3 here last night in their third and deciding game of the Lakeshore Junior Baseball League playoffs, for the right to represent the loop in the OBA Junior "A" playdowns. It was another great baseball tussle with Hunters taking a 4-0 lead when Wade, the Liftlock City hurler got away to a shaky start and walked in some runs after loading the bases on walks and the odd hit. Pagett, who plays shortstop for the Petes seniors, came in to relieve as hurler and gave up another run and one in the third inning also but after that stopped Oshawa cold. However, the 4-0 lead proved enough with Brown pitching no-hit ball for Oshawa for six innings. He cracked in the seventh and after Kiwanis had scored three runs, "Ding" Gavas took over, gave up a hit and then stopped the rally. He then held *Peterboro juniors at 4-3 until the game was over. This puts the Peter- boro junior team out of the running which means that Menzies, catcher and Pagett, shortstop, can devote all their time now to eithér COBL playoffs against the Batawa-Kingston winner or in their softball play- offs. Don't know who the "Hunters" meet next but it will likely be Toronto's junior baseball champs. + * * Two important softball tussles were cleaned up in the OASA playdowns last night, in this district. Over in Whitby, young Ball, the sensational hurler from Baltimore, pitched a mno-hit, no-run shutout for Cobourg "Orfuns" as they blanked Whitby Legion 12-0. This gave Cobourg this OASA Intermediate "B" playoff series in two- straight games, with Cobourg meeting Trenton in the fourth round now. "Tafly" Mayne hurled good ball for Whitby but his support was weak in spots and the entire County Town team lacked pep at the plate, especially against Ball's fine assortment of drops, speed and curves. Over at Ajax, in an Intermediate "C" playoff game, Ajax Legion managed to cling to an early lead that was 7-0 at one time, to win an 8-7 decision over Hastings. Hastings made a real comeback and almost tied it up in the eighth, They play the second game of this series down in Hastings on Wednesday and if it goes to the three-game limit, which appears likely, the third and deciding game will be played over at Ajax on Saturday afternoon, since Ajax won the toss for the third game. * + * Brooklin Lynbrooks and Fittings Ltd. Juniors of Oshawa, both cur- rently engaged in OASA playoffs, will open their own final series for the Oshawa "League Championship" tonight at Brooklin with the second game of the series booked for Oshawa, on Thursday night. Bropklin is awaiting word of their next OASA playoffs, having won Eastern Ontario zone honors, while Fittings play Brockville in the third and deciding game, down in Trenton on Saturday, * * + There's an OASA Juvenile "A" playoff game here at Alexandra Park tomorrow night, with Peterbero Kawartha Sports visiting Osh- awa Mills Motor Sales. We hear that the Liftlock City Juveniles are very strong this year but they'll have to be better than good to defeat the classy Mills Motors team, which is strong in fielding, powerful at the plate and has the best pitching staff any juvenile team around these parts has had in years. * + * SPORTS SHORTS--Eight Oshawa lawn bowlers are taking part in the Black Memorial Trophy tournament at Peterboro today. Those from here in the tourney are E. Bradley, C. J. Rendall, Lorné James, P. Canning, J. C. Ward, J. Biddulph, R, Flintoff and Charles Peacock . . .

It was the second straight league triumph for the Stampeders as they racked up five touchdowns, four converts and a rouge. The hosts capitalized on two telling Winnipeg fumbles and sheer power, and completely outshone the oncé-mighty Bombers who faded in the last half of the game, played before 5,000 fans , .. Lloyd Mangrum of Chicago won the $12,500 Utah open golf championship at Salt Lake City Monday by defeating Fazio of Conshohoken, Pa. in an 18-hole playoff. Mangrum shot a 69 and Fazio 71. The pair were tied with 274 apiece at the end of the regulation 72 holes to necessitate the playoff. The win boosted Man- grum's 1948 winnings to $2,150 to $28,854, well ahead of Ben Hogan with $26,847 . . . Polar Byrd, .of Poplar Hill Farm, Lexington, Ky., continued to show his winning form by defeating Castleton Farm's Indian Land in the Single-G Stake pace on the Grand Circuit card at Du Quoin, Ill, g Monday.

Before he injured his hand, Richie Ashburn, Philadelphia rookie, climbed 11 points to .333, good eno BL third place . , ! ACROSSE TONIGHT -- 8.45 SCARBORO VS. - OSHAWA eo Roller Skating WEDNESDAY NIGHT eo Lacking the roar of motors, the odor of burnt gasoline and the dust clouds set up by racing cars and motorcycles, but providing the thrill of athletic competition, the whirl of wheels and riders' legs, and the flambuoyant sweaters and machines, bicycle racing is truly a spectacular sport. . Oshawa citizens are to have an- other opportunity of seeing "bike racing" at its best when the Victor Cycle Club presents the Ontario Dirt Track Championships at Alex- andra Park, on Labor Day, Sept. 6. This will mark the 'second premier meet to be staged here this summer. In June, this enterprising athletic group sponsored the Cana- dian Championships and they proved such a success that the club immediately secured the sanction for the Ontario title races. 25-Mile Race a Feature It is expected that this meet will be even more thrilling and colorful than the last, due mainly, to the inclusion of a 25-mile grind that should .see about 40 riders line up at the starting tape. Aside from this "quarter-century" marathon, there will be races at i -mile, 12- mile, 1-mile and 5-mile, and an un- limited miss-and-out, the distance of which is determined by the number of competitors, the last rider over the line each lap being called out until only three remain. A thrilling feature of the Do- minion Championship races was the 'three Oshawa victories, plus a few seconds and thirds. Lance Pugh and Bill Hamilton, members of the Canadian Olympic cycling team, finished one-two respectively in the 1-mile title event, while Frank Ball and Ross Suddard duplicated this feat in the l-mile Class "B". Sud- ONTARIO DIRT TRACK BICYCLE CHAMPIONSHIPS HERE ON LABOR DAY dard also copped the novice for Oshawa's third victory. It is hoped and expected that the local "chain- stretchers" will grab their share of the laurels in the coming meet. Lance Pugh and Bill Hamilton will both be on hand to display the ability that earned them a place on the Olympic team. They competed against the world's best at London and no doubt have improved con- siderably since last seen on the local oval. These two stars, along with Ross Suddard, Frank Ball, Ken Hamilton, Cal Blake and the rest of the boys, will be in there in every event, giving all they have. The club is also holding a draw on a CCM. Bicycle (ladies' or men's model) and tickets are now on sale from club members. The proceeds of this draw will be used to defray expenses of the coming meet and also to further the sport of eycling. All in all, it Jooks like a good way to spend Labor Day. There will be refreshment booths on the grounds and everything possible 'is being done to make it the most thrilling athletic spectacle ever staged in Oshawa. HUNT ERS' NOSE OUT PET ERBORO IN FINAL & A 4 Oshawa Hunt Club Juniors Earn Berth In Playdowns Oshawa Takes Early 4-0 Lead in First 3 Innings and Then Hang On -- Brown Hurls No-Hit- ter Until 7th Frame -- Petes Score 3 Runs Then "Ding" Gavas Stops Rally and Holds Lead to Finish O:zhawa Hunt Club Juniors will move ino he Ontario Baseball Asso- ciation Junior "A" playdowns, as representatives of the Lakeshore Junior League, by virtue of their sensational 4-3 victory over Peter boro Kiwanis, at Alexandra Park last night, in the 3rd and deciding game of their final series. The game was a sensational thrill- er from start to finish with Osh- awa taking an early 4-0 lead and then having to hold grimly to a one- run lead for the last three frames when Peterboro rallied in the 7th for five hits and three runs, after going hitless for six innings. Score Early Lead Murphy walked in the first frame for Oshawa, and so did McGrath with one out. Hanna singled and then Wilson fanned but with the ba- ses loaded, Wade gave up a walk to Simpson, to force Murphy across the plate. In the second inning, Thompson opened with a walk and Brown beat out a nifty bunt for a safety, then Murphy walked to fill the bases. That ended Wade's stay on the mound for Peterboro and Pagett tock over the hurling duties, with the bases loaded and none out. He walked Morrison to force in a run, then McGrath struck out, Hanna flied out to right and Brown scored after the catch, then Pagett also fanned Wilson to end the inning, with two men still on bases, In the 3rd inning, Thompson forc- ed Simpsop, who had singled, and then with/two out, Brown clipped a single to score Thompson, who had stolen 2nd. An error moved Brown to third but Morrison fanned. After that, Oshawa did very little at the plate, except for two hits by Stovin and Thomp$on in the 7th but with none out, Pagett bore down to fan Brown, forced Murphy to pop up and struck out Morrison to end the inning. Pagett gave up only three hits and no runs in the seven innings that he pitched and he struck out 16° Oshawa batters. Brown Hurls Wel} Brown hurled great ball for the Oshawa "Hunters" and completely handcuffed the Peterboro Juniors for the first six innings, with a to- tal of five strikeguts and not a sifi- gle hit. He did issue a few walks but a double-play in the 1st inning and other smart defensive moves by the Hunters kept Peterboro off thg score-sheet, They finally got to Brown in the 7th inning. Stewart started it off with a triple and Collins = singled. Giardino grounded out and Jac- quith fanned but Floyd singled and advanced when the ball was juggled in the outfield, then pinch-hitter LaPlante came through with a sine le. That ended Brown's stay on the mound, with three runs in and Pa- gett came to bat and singled, putting LaPlante on 2nd with the tying run but Eastlick grounded out, to end tlie inning. After that "Ding" Gavas stopped the Peterboro Juniors cold, A bad outfield error after a clean single py Stewart, put the tying run in position in the 8th, bub he fanned Giardino to end the inning and in the 9th, he retired the Peters in 1, 2, 3 order, fanning LaPlante to end the game and season for Ptees, Brown, with his fine hurling and two hits, was the big man for Osh- awa, along with Gavas, the relief hurler who saved the game for Brown and the Hunters.

Pow- ers, R. Powers, Johnston and Rous- ton. Harmony added three in the second, another one in the third, then they missed in the 4th frame but roared back for nine runs in the 5th inning, when base-hits, mostly doubles, were pounded to every cor- ner of the school grounds. They fin- isheti off with two runs in the 6th and it proved anough. R. Powers pitched good ball for Harmony after a bad start. In the second inning, Westmount scored seven runs, with Bourne's homer be- ing the big blow, She tripled in the 3rd inning also to spark a 5-run splurge that put Westmount out in front. After that Harmony tighten- ed up and Westmount faltered with two only in the 4th, only one run in the 5th, none at all in the 6th and a 'lone marker in the 7th.

Lew Hayman's Alouettes Open Season Tonight Montreal, Aug. 31--(CP)--Ottawa Rough Riders, hailed by many ex- perts as the team to beat this sea- son, move into action here tonight against Lew Hayman's Montreal Alouettes, in the first Big Four foot- ball game of the season, In Royals' Stadium. Coach Hayman, secretive as he is undecided, was to have ramed a starting lineup Monday night but decided to wait until shortly before the kick-off at 8.30 p.m. His big problem was to decide which seven of the nine available United States imports he would use against Coach Wally Masters' strengthened Riders. League regu- lations hold Hayman to seven "neighbors." Those available are backfielders Virgil Wagner, Steve Nemeth,, Floyd Wheeler, Andy Feler and Bill Bass; Warren Cyprus, end; Herp Trawick, Red Noel, Bronco Reese and Joe Jurich, linemen. : Canadians who appear sure of Alouctte sweaters for the season are Joey Pal, Fred Kijec; Mel Wilson, Ches McCance, Ralph Toohey, Kas Vidruck, Red Nower, Keith English, Bob Cunningham, Earl Smith, Glenn Douglas, Joe Seagatore, George Mer- ry and Steve Chamko, LARGEST IN WEST INDIES OSHAWA TIGERS WIN COF SERIES OVER MAPLE GROVE In the first' game of the semi-fi- nal series between Maple Grove and the Oshawa Tigers, the Tigers de- feated Maple Grove by the score of 21-13. The outstanding hitters i this game for the Tigers were Lois Legree, Marie Kinlin and Muriel Meulemeester with four hits apiece. A second game between the two tedms failed to go five innings due to rain and darkness and so was ruled 'no game.' The Tigers won the re-play of this game by the score of 21-9. On this occasion Kay Twasnik who had a triple with the bases loaded and Eileen Shackleton who drove out one of the longest ticen- ers of the season in the sixth inning were the hitting stars of the Tigers. This game was featured by the sparkling defensive play of Irene Porayko, Tiger short stop, and Ruby Welsh, Maple Grove second base- man. These girls pulled off spark- ling plays time and time again to rob opposing batters of sure hits. On Thursday evening last, at Con- naught Park, the Tigers won their third straight game from Mable Grove by the score of 7-6, thereby eliminating the visiting team. This was by far the best game of the series, the Tigers having to over- come a two-run deficit in the last inning to win the gwume. A long home-run by Murie] Meulemeester with one on base, her second home- run of the game was the telling- blow, Marion St. Andrews, Tiger catcher, was another hitting star as she had four safe hits in four ap- pearances at the plate. The Maple Grove team were outhit but not out- played; the infield completing two fine double plays while outstanding catches were made by Lydia Bates at 3rd base, by Joan Wright in c.f. and Betty Grant in r.f.

Bantam Girls' Softball League championship. Hits galore rattled off the Bathe Park bats once they got started, with 6 runs in the third frame, then four more runs in each of the next two frames, finishing up with 7 runs in the 6th inning and six runs in the 7th frame. Sunnyside girls tried hard. They scored first with a lone tally in the second then came back with three in the third. After that they scored six in the 4th and were still in the game but they faltered in the 5th, could get only seven more runs in the last two innings and that's how it endea.

Park Road opened with three runs in the first inning after two out, on a couple of walks and some hits by Gibbens and Service.

Cedar Dale tried hard but they found Snow pitching fine ball. He struck out 10 of the Dale batters in six innings and gave up his first run in the 5th and then another in the 6th, after which the game was called on account of darkness.

OSHAWA LOSES LACROSSE TILT AT ORILLIA 8-7 Failure to maintain possession, a major factor in any lacrosse game, cost the Oshawa Senior "B" la- crosse club a victory last night at Orillia, where they dropped a thrill- ing 8-7 decision to the homesters, in a speedy tilt. Oshawa played very well on for- eign soil, although not quite at full strength for the game but it was goalie Cliff Chambers who kispt them in the running with a .great night's work in the nets. Bush, playing in his old home- town, came up with his best game of the season, with two goals and three nice passes for as many other Oshawa tallies. Luther Vipond was another standout for the Oshawa forces with a steady game on the rearguard. Orillia took a 3-2 lead in the first period, enjoyed exactly the same success in the second stanza and each scored one goal in the third period, to make it 7-5 for the home- sters, going into the final frame, In the fourth quarter, Oshawa came up with a determined effort and but for Orillia's desperate and effective close-play checking, would have tied the count, As it was, Oshawa outscored Oril- lia 2-1 in the final frame to come within a goal of tying it up and missed several glorious scoring chances in the dying minutes of play, McAdam, Hilson, Christie and Bastien were Oshawa's other goal- scorers besides Bush, with Hilson and Bush both getting a couple. Hill, Hammond and Payne, the latter with two goals and an assist, were the best for the homesters. OSHAWA--Goal, Chambers; de- fense, L.

NIP HASTINGS FIRST CLASH Ajax Legion nosed out Hastings 8-7 last night at Ajax University diamond, in the first game of their 3rd round O.A.S.A. Intermediate "C"' playoffs, in a thrilling finish that had all the fans in high glee. Ajax wheeled out their heavy ar- tillery early in the game to shell Ball off the Hastings' mound in two innings. They scored three in the first and four runs in the sec- ond, on some good solid hits and the odd error, After that, Puffer took over and he stopped Ajax cold, with his tricky slow-drop, the homesters getting only one more run, in the 7th inning when Mot- ris walked and scored on a hit by Barefoot. Harold, who pitched great ball for Ajax, went along in a breeze for. four innings, backed by brilliant support of his Ajax mates. In the 5th, Hastings got rolling and staged a 4-run rally to liven up the game, In the' 8th, Harold weakened and Hastings pushed across three runs on timely hits by Garden, sone) and Bonds and .they had the tyin! h run on 3rd base and another one on 2nd, with two men out, when Mgr. "Pat" Sheehan decided to re- place Harold and bring in his other hurler, who forced the next batter to pop up to 3rd base. Ajax clung grimly to their 8-7 lead, tried and failed to boost it in their 8th inning and then in the 9th, put Hastings down in order on a pop-fly and two strikeouts, to win the game. , The second game is down in Hastings on Wednesday night and should a 3rd game be necessary, it will be played in Ajax, on Saturday afternoon at 4 o'clock, the Ajax team having won the toss.
