World's Champion Trotters Race At Oshawa Fair The Oshawa Fair to be held at |Alexandra Park* this coming Thursday, Friday and Saturday will feature ome of the biggest . race programs ever held by the South Ontario Agricultural Society at the local oval. Behind the Harrison and Cun- ningham mobile starting gate on the above afternoons, a fine field of trotters and pacers will get off in two-heat events. There'll be a 30, 25, 24, 23 and 19 Class events, a non-winners of $400, a Classified Trot, a free-for- all and an event open to all horses that started in numbered classes above and had no winnings. Canadian Trotting Assocaition rules will govern the meet and entries already filed with W. J. "Bill'"' Sharp, secretary of the harness program indicate a couple of hot trotters, Those in question are Earl Rowe's fine Celia's «Counsel and Volo Van. g At Thorncliffe recently the pair racing as a team . . . two trotters to a pole . . . raced the mile in 2:07.4 to set a world's recwrd for the rarely-run event. He eclipsed the old mark set by Roy Miller of Syracuse some 35 years ag. MP Earl Rowe will more than likely handle one of the trotters himself. They'll race here singly, not as a team. The sight of one of these world champs performing unde their owner's hands will be a sight in itself. With good weather predicted and the track in great shape, the fans will take to the grandstands in large numbers. Kelly's Admirals Score 10-7 Win Over Whitby Kellys' Admirals scored a 10-7 comeback win over Whitby Motor- ettes in a junior girls' softball game played at Civic Stadium last night. B. Shearer was the first pitcher 'used by the winners with Fletcher taking over in the seventh and go- ing remainder of the route. Shirley Lyons pitched all the way to earn the win. She allowed six runs in the third and one in the sixth. Hits by Melrose, Sharman, Clark, O'Connor and Brown spark- ed that big rally, while Brown's safety in the sixth did the damage there. Admirals scored three runs in the second when Germond led-off with a homer. Reader, George, Blugin and Hi on followed with hits. to put over tallies. Lyons homered in her own cause in the fifth to make it 6-4, still for Whitby. Another singleton in the sixth with that reply by Whitby made the count 7-5.

North-South Wins Second-Straight In Lacrosse Finals In the second game of the CRA Minor Lacrosse playoffs the South again defeated the East. The score of the game was 88 and the two game, total goals series was 14-7. The East played a hard game but just weren't as good as the Combines. They were further ham- pered by the absence of three play- ers causing them to have to play almost the full game themselves. The score would have been much except for the great work of '""Murt"" Fielder in the nets. Boddy, #rady and Kelly scored the East goals. The Combines were lead by Mel- nick, Bradica and John Campbell. Bradica scored one goal in the first quarter and sank three in the final quarter. Johnny Campbell had three goals and one assist. Melnick matched his first game total with one goal and two assists. McPher- son handled all shots on him eas- ily. The three the East scored were the type that nobody can stop. Andy Kicinko was brilliant de- fensively and also set up one goal. The Combines now take on the West Sharkies, the league cham- pions, in a 2 out of 3 series forithe CRA awards. The game is Wednesday morning at 10 am. The second will be Thursday at 2 p.m. and. the third, if necessary, at at 10 am. Friday morning. EAST TIGERS: Goal, M. Fieid- er; defence, L. Kelly, R.

It will make the football play- ers much happier we imagine. An exhibition game, even a practice, in the sweltering heat which was the case when we left the city, was something to wag your head at. We imagine the heat had some- thing to do with the Big Four Rookie of the Year falling prey to a case of polio. We are, of course, Speaking of the Hamil- ton Tiger-Cat homebrew back- field star, Bobby MacDonald. His sickness left a big gap in Carl Voyles' club and even bigger one in the hearts' of the fans. We hear they are going to hold a benefit all-star Jame . . . the Big Four against 'Cats . . sometime soon in an effort to raise money for the guy. All 'the other teams in the east have promised to send some of their big names to make up the all-star team.

But did you know that n Harper, guard with the Raiders had been cut from their squad and sent back home for seasoning? Harp sez, "They are really in- terested in the Raiders . . . it should help us a lot, soen!" The local outfit, by the by, is practicing each night up at Alexandra Park where they'll play almost all their home games this season.

Those start- ers plus the next five top play- ers were picked to make-up the representative outfit.

Ted Stone (pitcher) Mike Mec- Arthur (re serve catcher), Bunny Maeson (1st base), Frank Varga (shortstop), John Jozkoski (third base), Bill Cook and Ted Barnes (outfield). We were rather pleased to see Frank Varga make the grade. It's his sophomore year with the team and after a shaky first season, the young strong- arm guy has really made a comeback. Jozkoski, even with a sore arm that kept him out of the game quite a bit this season, was still far and away the best thirdsacker in the loop. same went for Maeson after this.
