Tilt coming hockey season have announced one of the biggest attractions thus far in the young season. "Hap" Emms and the Memorial Gup Champions Barrie Flyers will play an exhibition benefit game against the Truckmen in Bow- manville Arena Saturday, October 3. That Saturday evening game is also a clue as to the arrangemen.s which the Arena and the Truck- men have worked out as far as scheduling games are concerned . . . an arrangement which will be most advantageous to Oshawa fans. We-mean that the locals will be playing most of their home games . « «» perhaps all of them . . . on Saturday nights!

"The benefit angle about the up- coming game concerns the Truck- ers and their equipment which was burned up, a total loss with no in- surance, in Arena disaster, The Flyers have graciously a- greed to the game and will ask only bus fare out of the gate.

CATHARINES (CP) -- Joe Primeau, coach of Toronto Maple Leafs for the last years, visited his former team's training camp here Tuesday and was im- pressed with what he saw.

"According to Otto Manske, convener of the inter- mediate "A" 0.B.A. playoffs, Petrolia Ramsays and the Strat- ford Nationals were to have. de- cided their best-of-three series by Wednesday night, in order to meet Crowland ir 'he provincial semi-finals thi: ek. The fin: will be between the survivors of the Petrolia-Stratford-Crowland set and Oshawa Transporters. The stickler is that Petrolia doesn't want to play in Strat- ford Monday as has been ordered by the convenor. They want to play here Tuesday, and not un- der the lights, and they don't want to play right back in Pe- trolia, Wednesday. Whether Petrolia will play here Monday, as previously arranged, was not definite at time of writ- ing, but certainly a daylight game here Monday or Tuesday wouldn't draw enough fans to pay for the players' gum." Now the latest word from the Transporter management has them sending a telegram to Crowland asking for a series . . . "at any cost". The idea being to keep the kettle boiling locally. It would also clean up the odd team in the series and make a final play-off possible in a week's time. No answer has (at the time of writing) been heard, and accord- ing to the local management, if none is, the McCallum crew will sit pat and wait for a final. They are entitled to direct entry what with having played more rounds than any team left in the series now. By the by, cast your eyes about these pages for a story out of this corner about the Osh- awa Senior Truckmen. It tells of an upcoming exhibition game with the Barrie Flyers, Memorial Cup, champs, that should really be something. CHECKLETS -- The Oshawa football picture . . . collegiate- wise is beginning to take shape. 'Central Collegiate will enter a junior team in the western rouping of the Lake Ontario istrict of the Cossa and so will OCVI. The other member of the group as far as we've heard will be Pickering, In the eastern group will be Cobourg, Lindsay, and the two Peterboro collegiates . . . PCVS and Kenner. Nought has been said of Peterboro's fine junior club of last season that came out of St. Peter's. In the Senior section of the local group, there will be but two teams . . .Oshawa (OCVI and CCI) Combines and the team from Peterboro CVS. They'll play a two-game home- and-home series and the winner will advance in Cossa play. We hear that the winner of the first game of the set will get a chance at the by Red Feather Tournament in Toronto. Seems that team will go against a '"so- called"3 champ from the Bay of Quinte group of the 'Cossa and then the winner of that to go against the Georgian Bay champ. Then on to the Red Feather tourney. John Elliott is handling the Junior team at the OCVI this year and feels his boys will be '""quite a bit stronger" than last season. Mons. Mcllveen and Mons. Martin will take care of the Junior outfit at Central. They will of course have another good team with a number of holdovers from last year's Cossa finalists. Bill Simons is the man with the big job . . .coaching the Com- bines. They'll workout at the north school with what we feel will also be a much-improved aqua. ill will have grads from both the Central and OCVI junior crews of last season . . . and Denny Williams Fights To Draw TORONTO (CP) -- Denny Wil- liams of Oshawa and Sid Taylor of Barrie pounded their way to a five-round draw Tuesday night in the main bout of an amateur box- ing card at East York Arena. Wil- liams featured straight rights while Taylor came up with hard-cutting left hooks. Dave Mancuso of Toronto scored a fourth-round TKO over Paul Kepny of Barrie in another five- rounder.

Tuesday night the ers bounced from behind late game to upset Kitchener Panthers 94 and stave off elimination in the best- of-nine Intercounty senior baseball Kitchener came up with a 2 of runs in the third inning on Fred Thomas' triple and appeared well away to the championship as Mel Duncan gave up but a single hit in the first five frames.

The Panthers lead the ser-(led 7-2 ies 4-2 Singles in the eighth and ninth assured Waterloo of its win despite two more Kitchener runs in the bottom of the eighth. George Yorke went the route for the winners, scattering seven hits and fanning one while walking two. Duncan passed four and Welker one.
