Al Harvey, popwar songster of radio and TV fame will be on hand as master of ceremonies and in addition to his talented |te, contributions, the entertainment will be further augmented by barber- shop quartet renditions and other numbers. There'll be introductions of outstanding baseball celebrities, as well as members of the Merchants. Inter-County League officials will be on hand, OBA executives have been invited and so have well-known members of Toronto's press, radio and baseball circles. Don't know how many of them will show up but they're all invited--AND 80 ARE YOU! The Mayor, members of the council, members of the Stadium Commission, all local service club officers and members, members of parliament and other dignitaries are all invited. It should be a fine show. Tickets have been on sale now for a couple of weeks and the sale has been brisk. However, if you haven't got a ticket yet--that doesn't matter--you can get one at the Piccadilly Room door tonight. The admission fee is very reasonable, "four bits", which includes refreshments, entertainment, etc. There are a lot of door prizes too--don't miss this informal social tonight at the Hotel Genosha --it's Oshawa's first baseball night of its kind but it should be a great success! » Next big event on the local sports front, after tonight's "Meet the Merch " baseball ker at the G ha, will be the opening of the "Oshawa Autoways"--tomorrow afternoon. Local stock car racing fans are going to be absolutely amazed when they see the new track and facilities at Bill Sharp's old stamping grounds. Brand new local sport fans who haven't seen this fast-growing sports craze which has been vaulted to tremendous popularity by the dare-devil driving of a group of fearless young teen-agers and early-twenty lads, are going to be ly dumbfounded. To begin with, at this location--about 200 yards east of "Five Points" on the Taunt ed one of the most successful sea- ever enjoyed. Coach Perc. Walter took a bunch of kids that were only able to win three. games all last year and by spending a lot of time and effort, brought the kids along so well that set a new record for the Neigh- bor! lation League by win- ning all league games without a loss. They then went through the play- fs and the only mark against eir record was a tie. At the same time as they were playing in the so much confidence in the kids that he entered them in the THL "Atom" series. They not only set a record of winning all their league games withbut a loss or tie, but during playoffs they won them all except for two tie games. This marked the first time in the history of the THL that a team had compiled such a record and was also the first time that any THL championship had gone out of To- ronto. In com) e King Clancy series, The Woodview Park am only lost three games all told, and two of these were in the finals to Dofvals. Thus in playing a long schedule of 52 games, these kids under twelve won 45 games, tied four and lost three, and during this time they recorded 23 shutouts, This record speaks very well for the fine coaching job done by Perc. Walter and the feat is even more remarkable when it is considered that all but three of the. kids ac- tually live in the Woodview Park area and are not a handpicked Jeiln from the whole City of Osh- wa. Getting back to last night's game, Dorval got a lucky goal right at the start of the game when Knibb tried to centre the puck out from the corner and the shot bounced into the Woodview net off goalie Nor- ris's skate. This was the only scor- ing of the first Jetiod and although Woodview Park had a man ad- vantage when Buchowski was sent off for interference, they just couldn't get the puck past Suttcliffe in She Dorval goal, e start of the second period, Woodview Park went all out to tie the game up and they did every- thing but score as they carried the better part of the play for the rest of the game. Wegie drew another Road--they"ve got parking space for over 1,000 cars. The buses run right to the Five Points corner. They have installed modern sanitary conveniences, new refreshment. booth but that isn't all. The stands, they'll handle about 2,500 people, are new bleacher-type stands of solid steel construction and the front row is elevated four feet off the ground--as a safety hould any of the cars leap the high bank around the track. The track has been re-designed in shape and size, it's exactly ag. one-quarter-mile track now--and they've paved the entire surface, "black top" covering over four to six inches of gravel. They've built protecting retaining walls ana the entire set-up is strictly high class -- finest stock car racing track in the country, is what the drivers say who have seen it. Well, they open the racing season there tomorrow afternoon and the two energetic propers, Dave Goldberg and Hartley Schipper are expecting a crowd of about 1500 on hand but. it's our guess thet there'll be over 2000 on hand. We have seldom seen any- thing that has been made so up-to-the-minute as Oshawa's new stock car racing track and without reservation, we predict that this sport is in for a banner season here in Oshawa. If you want to see for your- selves--take in the opening races tomorrow afternoon. Some of the best drivers in Canada and United States are going to be on hand-- about 35 cars, racing around a near-circular track at pell-mell speed can produce a lot of thrills, If you don't think so--come out and see for yourself! , It's sad news for the Oshawa hockey fans who have been fol- lowing the destiny of the Woodview Park Atoms. This city's gallant little hockey team lost the 3rd and deciding sudden-death game last might by a score of 2-1 and so just failed to win the King Clancy Trophy in the Atom series. There were about 250 Woodview Park area citizens on hand to cheer their team and they gave them s royal welcome home, late last night out at their neighbourhood park, with speech civie 1 etc. This group of youngsters has had a tremendousl f They won the THL Trophy in their class and they lost only four games in over 50 played this season.
