PAGE TWELVE THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1948 v- By Geo. H. Campbell | PORT WJ NAPSHOTS There are two major sports attractions booked for the Oshawa fans this evening, At 5:45 p.m. at Alexandra Park, Kingston CIL "Nylons" will open the Eastern Ontario Senior "B" championship series in OASA playoffs against Oshawa GM-Colts. Kingston's Senior "B" softball squad is reported to be an outstanding team with a wealth of heavy hitters and spectacular fielders. Oshawa GM-Colts are getting little rest. They eliminated Peterboro [Legion here on Saturday afternoon, taking: the series in two-straight. Any question of a possible third game was wiped out when Dean McLaughlin chalked up 16 strikeouts in a brilliant mound performance. He had his "stuff" working beautifully and was never in trouble after the first inning. Colts clouted a total of 18 solid hits, having no trouble with Reid, the Peterboro left-hander with the tricky snap-throw. Colts scored runs in every inning except the second and eighth and were much the better club. Peterboro Legion was far from being at full strength. With their COBL team ordered to play in Kingston, Howie Dalton, ace hitter and playing coach of the Legion téam, was missing for the game here Saturday while Harrison, heavy- hitting shortstop, Pagett, their centre-fielder and Bob Greenlaw, No. 1 pitcher, were all on the missing list. As it was, the Peterboro. team made a real effort but McLaughlin was the best he's been this year and Colts hit very hard. Whether the GM-Colts can keep up this brand of hitting against the Kingston Senior "BY entry in the opening game of that series, here tonight at Alexandra Park, remains to be seen. * * * Other sporis events in the big attraction class here in Oshawa tonight, is the OLA semi-final playoff game at the Oshawa Arena, with Huntsville here for the third game of the series. Oshawa went back to Huntsville on Saturday night and tied up the round at one win apiece, with a clean-cut 11-6 win, earned with a five-goal rally in the third period, that broke up a 5-5 deadlock. Willie Vipond got a two-stitch cut on his forehead and Luther Vipond will miss tonight's game with a badly injured ankle. X-ray pictures are being taken this morning to decide whether or not Luther's ankle is broken, or badly bruised. Oshawa played it hard and rugged on Saturday night, checking closely. They drew nine of the ten penal- ties issued but the technique apparently paid off, as Qshawa finished stronger to earn their win. They can move in front, with a win here tonight. + * * Other playoff action around these parts or of interest to Oshawa fans, included the East Whitby Township Ladies' Softball League cham- pionship, which was decided on Saturday night in the fifth and deciding game of the final series, with Westmount Wildcats nosing out Harmony Lunch 8-7 in a thriller-diller finish to what has been a very keenly contested championship round." Down at Parham, the: Ajax Juveniles dropped a 10-9 decision as Parham boys tied up that OASA round. Just as Ajax won on their home diamond in the ninth inning, so did Parham, scoring two runs in the ninth, to eke out their 10-9 decision. They'l settle it in a third game at Trenton, likely on Saturday. Out at Brooklin on Saturday afternoon, the roof fell in. Brooklin Lynbrooks were leading 12-0 at the end of the fourth inning then Hooker took a wild streak, started to grove the ball and was pounded all over the park by the "B" finals ended up 20-13 for Thorold. They play back in Thorold on slugging team from Thorold and the first game of the Ontario Junior Saturday but unless the Brooklin team can snap back into top form, it looks as if they have missed their chance for an Ontario championship. * * * : And that just about concludes the immediate sport action around these parts, until Saturday, when Orillia Juniors play Fittings Limited here in Oshawa, as an Oshawa Fair attraction, first game of their OASA quarter-final round. The OASA sub-committee meeting here yesterday deals with the two suspensions meted out to Smithville coach and catcher and then moved into their general business, namely the semi-final and final playoff draws. Dates are ready and will be released this week by Secretary Frank Feaver. + * + . They settled the International League piayoff berths yesterday with Toronto Leafs just being barely nosed out, due to their own inability to win that last and extremely important game in Montreal. Now if they'll just get the National and American League pennant winners settled, we can get ready for the World Series. Meanwhile, the Ganadian rugby picture is rushing into full view with Argos coming from behind to de- feat Hamilton Wildcats while Ottawa fumbled so often, Montreal Alou- ettes were able to win 11-8 right in Ottawa. Beaches Indians came from behind to beat Sarnia Imps and Hamilton Tigers swamped Windsor Rockets. + * * They cleaned up the COBL finals on Saturday with Peterboro Marines winning 13-6 right in Kingston, to end the series in the fourth game. It was to have been a four-out-of-seven series but the second game was postponed when Nels Megaffin of Kingston, died on Monday and the OBA moved in to order that it be a three- out-of-five series in order to have a winner ready for the next series, as Toronto's senior ball champs are waiting. ne oe SPORTS SHORTS--Motor City Cab are marking time waiting for an Eastern Ontario winner; let's hope they stay hot in this mark-time exhibition. Toronto Peter Pan are getting a great build-up in the To- ronto papers, and it looks like they are going to be in the finals--with Oshawa, perhaps? . . . Peterboro Petes won the COBL with a neat triumph over Kingston to take the final series three game to one . . . Argo Juniors, who have been beaten by an even larger margin by the Hamilton Wildcats than have the local Red Raiders, finally won, beating the St. Kitts Rams by the count of 18-7. Fumbles spelled the difference in the play . . . The Raider Juniorg have added a new series of plays to their line-up and these clicked on the week-end practice against the intermediate club to give them a 10-5 scrimmage victory . . . The new scoring clock at the Oshawa Arena will come in for some more favorable comment tonight when the Huntsville Lacrosse club are visitors here . . . Maurice Fox of Montreal, won the Canadian chess championship for the eighth time in 12 years at Toronto 10 years ago today. The defending champion, Boris Blumin, Montreal, was dead- locked in fourth place with two other players, Ld * * SCISSORED SPORT--(By The Canadian Press)--Eight Ontario professional golfers Saturday retained the Ward Trophy by defeating a team from New York State 14-0 in singles competition and 8-4 in a best-ball' foursome, Jack Littler of Oakdale topped the field with 69 over the Hamilton Ancaster course, one under par. Dick Borthwick of Ancaster and Alex Greer of Buffalo split second prize money with" 72 each. Lou Cumming of Toronto won the fourth place with 73.

By The Canadian Press Football got down to large-scale business during the week-end as the opening of the venerable Ont- ario Rugby Football Union meant there was action among 10 of the 11 teams who are in the hunt for the Grey Cup this season. * Biggest Upset The biggest upset in the five Sat- urday ames came when Montreal Alouettes toppled Ottawa Rough Riders from the unbeaten ranks -- leaving only Toronto Arg@nauts, Calgary Stampeders, Toronto Beaches Indians and Hamilton Ti- gers with undefeated status, The Stampeders were idle Satur- day when Winnipeg Blue Bombers edged Saskatchewan Roughriders 16-13 in the only Western Canada league game. But the Stamps lay their four-game victory streak on the line tonight at home against the second-place Blue Bcmbers. Even "more unexpected than Montreal's 11-8 victory over Oftta- wa in the big four league was the auspicious: beginning of Hamilton in their first season in the O.R.F.U. in 40 years. The Tigers, who quit the Big Four in the off-season, swamped Windsor Rockets, 60-1, largely on the pass-pitching of Frankie Filchock. Arges Still Unbeaten The Argos showed they will be the team to beat for their fourth straight Dominion title when they came from behind to defeat Frank Gnup's Wildcats, 25-13, at Toronto. It was the champions third victory | without a loss and set the stage for a reat battle when they clash for the first time with Ottawa at Tor. onto next Saturday. Ted Reeve's Beaches Indians got off on the right foot at Sarnia when they defeated the Imperials 8-2 to move into a first-place tie in the O.R.F.U. with the Tigers. An onside kick, a play almost pushed out of football by the for- ward pass, gave the Combines their victory. Veteran Bobby Porter lift- ed the kick over the goal-line where Johnny Lake took it for a third-quarter touchdown that Don Crowe converted. Razzle-Dazzle The Imperiale, who made an un- expectedly good stand with their razzle.dazzle plays patterned after the University of Western Ontario, had held a 2-1 lead up until then on singles kicked by Andy = Sokol against one punted by Porter. The burly Porter booted another sin- gle to end the scoring at 8-2 in the third quarter, KINGSTON SR. B" TEAM HERE THIS EVE. Oshawa GM-Colts Advance to Zone Finals--Dean McLaughlin Whiffs 16 Peterhoro Batters McLaughlin's Pit c hing Performance Enables Colts To Eliminate Pe- terboro Legion In Two Straight Games -- Osh- awa Collects 18 Hits In Clean Cut Win To Ad- vance In Senior "B" Race -- Visitors Were Minus Four Regulars Oshawa GM-Colts pushed the Peterbozo Legion into the discard in O.AS.A. Senior "B" playoff com- petition, when they took a 9-2 de- cision here Saturday afternoon to sweep the series in two-straight games. * ~.It marked the fourth Peterboro softball team to be eliminated from O.AS.A. competition by Oshawa representatives this season, the third within 24 hours. 'Kingston Plays Here Tonight GM-Colts were notified Sunday afternoon that their Eastern On- tario Senior "B" championship ser- ies, with the Kingston C.IL. "Ny- lons", will open on Monday, at Os- hawa. Kingston Nylons will open their series with GM-Colts at Alex- andra Park tonight at 545 p.m. with the return game in Kingston later this week. Peterboro Legion was far below strength for their return game of the series. They had requested to postpone the game originally scheduled for Wednesday, because several of their players were also members of Peterboro Marines and were engaged in the C.O.B.L. championship series with Kingston Locos. When one of their mid- week games was postponed due to the death of Nels. Megaffin and the O.B.A. ordered the series to be trimmed from 4-out-of-7 to a 3- out-of-5 series, it meant that on Friday night Peterboro was order- ed to play in Kingston on the Saturday, with the result that Peterboro Legion was still unable to field their full team for the game at Oshawa. > "Howie" Dalton, playing coach and leading hitter of the : team, regular 3rd baseman, Harrison, their sensational shortstop, Pagett, regular centre-fielder and Bob Greenlaw, their other pitcher, were all missing from Saturday's line-up here and the Legion team, as pre- sented, was no match for the Osha- wa squad, who pounded out 18 hits for their comfortable 9-2 victory. Reid, Peterboro's left-hander with his snap-delivery, proved no mys- tery to the Oshawa batters. Dean McLaughlin Fans 16 Big factor in the result, aside from Peterboro's badly - weakened line-up, was. the brilliant pitching performance turned in by Dean Mc- Laughlin, drop-ball artist of the Colts. He came up with his best game of the season, had his drop working in tantalizing fashion and he accounted for 16 strikeouts in his nifty display. In addition, Mc- Laughlin forced three Peterboro batters to pop up to "the box" and one other he fielded, on a bunt at- tempt, to personally account for 20 of the 27 putouts. He struck out three batters in the first inning and three in succession in the 9th. It didn't leave much else for the Oshawa fielders to handle and they committed only one error, a wild throw, as they got off to a shaky start, then settled away to stop the visitors at practically every turn. A single by White, with one out, a wild pitch and another hit by Withers, gave Peterboro Legion the first run of the game. They got a couple of runners on bases in the 2nd on a bunt and a bad play to 2nd, which was uncovered for the throw, but McLaughlin forced Wal- ton to pop up and fanned the next two. Legion got their other run in the 5th, when White smashed a home-run blow to deep centre, They threatened in the 6th but a couple of neat force-out plays by the infielders closey out the inning without a score. Colts Hit Ball Hard Stark opened for Oshawa with a walk. Price fanned and Bidgood forced Stark but Jubenville drew a walk and Bidgood scored on Mc- Laugiiins double, that tied it up at 1-1, Barnes and Barker both singled in the 2nd but Barnes was nipped moving to 3rd on an infield out and Barker could only get to 3rd on Stark's single, the third hit of the inning. ; Jubenville walked in the 3rd, moved on a passed ball and scor- ed on D. McLaughlin's second two- bagger. In the 4th, the Colts start- ed to hit the ball harder than ever.' Barker opened with a single. V, Mc- Laughlin fanned but Jack Stark doubled and Price ahd Bidgood both singled in succession. Jubenville forced Bidgood, with Price scoring on the play, for the 3rd run of that inning. . Colts added two in the 5th on a hit by Taylor, a walk to Barker and Stark's single. Bidgood bunted safely in the 6th, Jubenville doubled and McLaughlin singled to score them both. In the 7th, three more hits, singles by Barker and V. McLaughlin and Stark's safe bunt set the stage for Barker to score. Colts failed to score in the 8th, Jubenville being called out on a close play at the plate. Jack Stark, with a double, two singles, a safe bunt and a walk, in five trips to the plate, had a per- fect day and was Oshawa's "big gun" in their 18-hit attack. Dean McLaughlin, with two doubles and a single was next in line while "Wart" Barker, with three singles and a walk in five trips, was right alongside. Bidgood and Barnes each had two hits, while every other member of the team had one solid hit. White, with his homer and single, was the big hitter for the. visitors, with Withers getting three singles in four trips, for the better average. R.H.E.

Len Duckworth of Toronto Wins Premier Honors Here in} Motorcycle Road Races Toronto Riders Win All 1st Prizes--Duckworth Sets New Record Be- sides Winning Both Expert Class Events-- Good Times Made in - All Races The landing and taxi strips of the Oshawa Airport were used for something new and differet last Saturday afternoon, when the Osh- awa Ramblers with the co-opera- tion of the Kinsmen Club. of Osha- wa put on a Motorcycle Airport race. The meet, sanctioned by the Canadian Motorcycle Association was featured by a good crowd, thrilling races, and no serious falls. Len Duckworth, a Torontonian who won the 15-mile expert event in the time of 14 minutes 31 3/5 seconds, and also claimed the lap record of 1 minute 26 95/100 sec- onds was given the premier award of the day a trophy donated by the Firth Motorcycle Accessories Company of Toronto. Duckworth's great riding in the 25-miie expert final gave him a first place there, and made him the greatest placer of the day and a,worthy recipient of the cup. The other cup that he won was the Llp record trophy donated by the Tide Water Oil Company thus giving him three pieces of silver- ware besides the Premier award. The course was shaped riughly like an "M" with the legs joined, to make a flat race of five corn- ers. The landing of some planes delayed the races during the day, but the'air traffic was very low, and 'so the races went along with very few hitches. Quebec riders carried away most of the seconds and thirds in the races; while the Toronto boys seem- ed to have top claim on all the first places. Ted Stidolph from the Queen City was the next to Duckworth in point-getting, getting firsts in the 10-mile Junior race, and the 15- mile Junior final. The rest of the results were as follows: " 10-Mile Junior 1.--E. Stidolph, Toronto (Norton). 2.--W. Campbell, Verdun (Triumph). 3.--A Perry, Verdun (Norton).

By DON HUNT Canadian Press Staff Writer Montreal, Sept. 13--(CP) -- The 1948 racing season in Montreal end- ed last week but racing fans who were at Blue Bonnets last August 31, will remember one race for a long time. For on that day, relatés Elmer (Montreal Herald) Ferguson, was taken "the most remarkable picture of the racing season, probably a record of its kind for any track in the world." The picture was taken to decide whether a horse had fallen before crossing the finish line or whether he fell after crossing the line. If the horse--"Any How"'--fell after crossing the. line, he won second money, and bettors who wagered on his chances to be second or third would be paid off. "Everyone," Elmer says, "thought the horse had fallen after crossing the line. That went for three stew- ards, three judges and two expert chartmakers who call the positions of the horses at various points in the race. "But everybody was wrong. The fall was faster than the eye. One judge happened to be just a trifle doubtful, thought it better to con- firm the finish by a camera. And, to the amazement of one and all, and hotly. disputed by one or two, the camera showed that 'Any How' had fallen a few feet before reach- ing the finish line, had slid across on his back, hoofs in the air, pitch- ing his jockey across in front." Good or Bad? Several svort fans and writers have denounced the playoff system in hockey and minor baseball, But at least one scribe considers the post-season series a good idea. Elmer Ferguson, thinking of the close. fight for playoff positions in the International League this sea- son, says "the close fight is a great vindication of the playoff plan." "If it wasn't for the interest de- veloping from the great three-team battle for fourth place in the In- ternational League, turnstiles to- day in every one of the league cities would have been idle." 3.--R. Campbell, Montreal (Triumph). 4.--C. Venier, Montreal (AJS), . Time--24 mins., 57 4/5 seconds. Lap Record Len Duckworth. Time limit--26 95/100 seconds.
