Now let us take a look at Mike's record. He is by far the most ex- perienced ballplayer on the team, a hard - working, conscientious manager, who takes his ball seri- ously. Most ple do not realize the, time effort as well as worry that Mike has puf into his job. He has literally been eating, sleeping and living baseball for the benefit of the fans of this s It hardly seems fair that he sl be relieved of his position because resting: in first place. We grant you that Mike has made mistakes this season but so do the best of managers. More often than not, he has been made to look bad through some boner by a player. It is easy for grand- stand managers to howl n a player bunts and the runner does not come in from third to score the tying run in the last inn but why blame the maager? It very possible and more than like- ly ght the runner missed the sig- nal. To you loud-mouthed fans who are always second-gue the manager, we wish you would st at home. We don't go to a ball game to hear your infernal bel- lowing. On behalf of the true baseball fans in Oshawa, we should like to thank Mike Garback sincerely. for the effort he has put into mak- ing this season a more enjoyable one for us; for if effort would make a winning team, we are sure that the Merchants would be in first place today.

The game was nip-and-tuck from start to finish though Brad- ford started the scoring, Brooklin took a slim edge to lead 2-1 after the opening stanza. Brooklin di not improve but held their lead, ahead 4-3 at half time. Bradford tied it up 'at 7.7 after the third and the score was still deadlocked 99 after regulation time. The game was extremely rough at first with the ¢ ve hard and rough. Referees Jac Williams and "Mickey" MacDon- ald were given plenty of trouble upkuing quarter as they handed out a liberal supply of pen- alties to both clubs. The game looked as if it might develop into a hey rube as the checks stiffened and tempers rose but these capable referees clamped a ten-minute pen- alty on: the J2xticipants of the first fight. This discouraged other belig- erents and the boys of both clubs settled down fo accept the hard checks with Sonirolled tempers. CHRISTIE TIES IT UP Bradford started 'the scoring at 7.25 when they took advantage of a Brooklin penalty to launch an at- tack setting up their star player, Rowntree, for a scoring shot. It 'was only a matter of minutes be- fore Bud Christie, Brooklin's scor- ing ace of the game, moved down centre to fire in Brooklin's first counter on a solo effort. In the final minutes of the first stanza Christie came through with a scor- ing shot again to climax a fast play, which earned assists for de- feniceman Eric Branton and goalie Art Bradley.

Charlie Mashinter found a hole in the Brooklin defence to shave Brook- lin's lead to a one-goal. The game was very fast and suspenseful in the final few minutes as Brooklin played hard to hold their lead while Bradford played hard to eliminate that difference. With but 15 seconds left in the game Gwynn with Collings and Rowntree moved in to notch that matching goal. The game moved into overtime and for the first five minutes Bradford led the attack as they attempted to move out in front. The play was fast and tightly cautiously. Brooklin moved in on the attack 'in the later half of this period but the Bradford defence was efficient as they warded off the Brooklin attackers. The opposing line could not keep 'up with the speed and fast passing of the Dodgers and Al Mackey with Robie Robson, cracked the Celery Kings' defence at 8.00. Once again the play held the crowd of spectators which fill- ed the Brooklin Arena on the edge of their seats, Brooklin striving to hold the balance, Bradford moving in swiftly and .deadly in a last ditch effort. The balance swung in Brooklin's favor as they controlled the ball until the final minute, when Bradford took command of the play moving in on the Brook- lin net. This attack met the rig- ged Brooklin defence which stall- ed the drive and the ball was lost to goalie Bradley. With a quick pass to Bud Christie, a final push was launched in the final seconds. | Christie moved down the boards | with Npnining like speed and with nine seconds left, notched a clinch- ing goal to cinch the Brooklin win. SCORES FOUR Bud Christie took top scoring honors for Brooklin getting four goals and giving one assist. Gord ook scored two as did Allen Mac-, key. Singletons were netted by Tod Lintnor; Robie Robson and Frenchy Deschamps. The many son play was fully let- ed to give the Dodgers a three- goal lead. The tide of scoring changed as the Celery Kings, very much in the game, applied the ressure as they found come- ack trail. Goals by C. Mashinter and Rowntree whittled the Brook- lin lead to one goal by half time. Bradford continued their attack firing in three counters in the first half of the third stanza to change a Brooklin edge of three to a deficit of two before the Dodgers could throw up an effective defence. Bradford's sco splurge was stalled when Rob: bson snag- fd a rebound to touch off another rooklin attack. Additional goals by Deschamps and Christie, again put the home town crew out in front but this lead was short with Harold Gwynn coming through for Bradford with only a minute and a half left in the od. 15 SECONDS TO GO Brooklin ain took the lead when Gord Cook scored early in ing plays which dominated the played with both sides taking it |gh | Ottawa Aug. 1 and t Peterborough Whips Orillia PETERBOROUGH (CP) Peter- borough Petes a 3-0 lead in the best-of-seven Ontario Lacrosse Association senior semi-finals here Friday night by defeating Orillia 'erriers 14-8. : The game erupted in the third period when Don Ashbee of Petes and George Masters of Orillia tangled to draw majors, with the latter also getting a match pen- alty for attempt to injure.
