12 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Pridey, August 7, 1959 'Wilkies Raise Playoff Hopes Oshawa Wilkinson's Juniors im- proved their chances of catching and holding third place in the Leaside Junior Baseball League nace, which is the last and covet- ed playoff berth, when they whip- ped Doug Laurie's Sports 10-2, last night at Talbot Park, in Lea- | side, BIG THIRD INNING Bob Winter, Oshawa left-hand- er, went to the mound for Wilkin- son's and turned in a solid seven- hi performance. Laurie's got their two runs in the very first inping. Winter fanned the first two batters then Colin Fraser doubled, John Perkins followed with a single and Bruce McLean also singled and an error at sec- ond base on Perkins' drive, made possible for Perkins to score on cLean's bingle, for a 20 lead. However, Winter gave up only four scattered hits after that and shutout Laurie's for the rest of the distance, in spite of some shaky support in the sixth inning and again in the eighth. Fraser in McLean each had two hits the losers. to get past first on a single Wilkinsons a 6-2 lead. Gerry Wilks was the starting/favor of Barry Maines. the third inning. Wilkinson's got one run in the by Jackie Lyons, a walk to Johnny Ryan and a single by Jackie Cole,|3rd. plus an infield error throw on Roberts' grounder, with the bases Oshawa's total, although they loaded.

H. Campbell SPORTS EDITOR 'Everything From Soup To Nuts' OSHAWA "WILKIES" (Wilkinson's Construction Ltd. Juniors) pounced on a young Toronto pitcher nam- ed Wilks, last night at Talbot Park, to come up with a 10-2 victory over Doug. Laurie's Sports team, in a Lea- side Junior Baseball Assoc. fixture, It was a big win for the Oshawa boys--since they are currently battling it out with Laurie's for 3rd place in the league standing and third place in the final playoff berth in that loop. It was a great win for "Wilkies" and put them in a fine position to clinch third place in their next two starts-- the first of which will be here at Alexandra Park to- morrow afternoon. It's Ideal Welding Braves here on Saturday--a potent force in Leaside League action in recent years but like the Oshawa team, at present suf- fering from "graduation pains." If Oshawa can knock off ."Ideals" here on Saturday afternoon and again the following week, when the Braves are booked to come right back to Alexandra Park, then Jim Shaw and Mike McArthur should be able to steer their team into third place and a playoff position--after which they'll have as good a chance as any club, since the Oshawa boys have shown already this summer that they can win over all the others, at least sometimes. Oshawa sports fans, especially the *"soccer" variety, are in for a big thrill. We trust we 'are not divulging any "state secrets" but we learned yesterday--as the scribes say "from a usually reliable source" -- that the All-Ontario soccer final in the Carling's Cup provincial playdowns, will be played right here in Oshawa, at Kinsmen Civic Memorial Stadium. The date according to Operator XXX is expected to be next Saturday, August 15 and it will be an evening game, booked to start at 7.00 o'clock. Not since away back in the early 30's, when Oshawa Nationals played off with Canadian "Car" of Montreal, in the Dominion semi-finals, has this city had a soccer team advance so far in provincial competition. We recall that memorable event when Oshawa Nationals lost out, in a home-and-home, goals- fo-count series, by one goal in spite of a heroic display here--where they played most of the game vith only 10 men. Soccer here in those days, as in the Old Coun- try still, was a no-substitution affair, you s'arted with 11 players and that was it. Oshawa's Harry Boyd, a col- orful and stellar fullback, hurt his cartilage-torn knee and missed most of the last half of the game, But that's history -- getting back to current action, we learn that Hamilton City, undefeated in their own league for their last dozen games, eliminated Windsor in the othe semi- final bracket last week-end, so it will be Hamilton City ¥s. Oshawa Kickers, for the Ontario championship playoffs, If, and we have every reason to think it will be, the sudden-death game is played here in Oshawa, there should be a banner crowd at Kinsmen Stadium to see this classic. BRIGHT BITS: -- Three games in the Inter- County Softball League played last night all resulted in one-run margin wins for the victors. We don't know if Craw- ford's played in Port Perry, they were scheduled, but we received no report . . . OSHAW/ TONY'S, of the I-C loop, with a battery from last year's Tony's Senior #A" champions of Ontario, pitcher Normie Bagnell and catcher Bob Booth, played an exhibition game in Peter- borough on Civic Holiday and the game ended 1-1. Bagnell had 18 strikeouts while Ray Judd, the Liftlock City slingshot sensation, struck out 13, allowing three hits while Bagnell allowed four, Two errors gave the Peterborough team their run in the 6th inning after Oshawa had scored one in the opening frame . . . TO- RONTO ARGOS set a new attendance record for foot- ball games in Canada on Wednesday : night when they lost to Chicago Cardinals but it was a very costly af- fair. They already had a couple of import stars out with injuries and Wednesday they lost Norm Stoneburgh with 2 broken ankle and pass-receiver Boyd Carter with a broken wrist. Ross Coyle had his nose broken, It's a Mighty rugged game, especially the way the professional gridders play it . . . TORONTO LEAFS lost to Richmond last night and went down into the International League cellar again but that isn't the worst of it--they also have lost hard-hitting second baseman Joe Amalfitano for three weeks, with an injured foot. . +. SF. GIANTS clobbered Lew Burdette yesterday to win 7-1 over Mil- waukee and boost their National League lead . . . DE- TROIT TIGERS blanked Casey Stengel"s Yankees 4-0 yesterday and that looks to be just about it, as far as the Bronx Bombers are concerned for this vear's World Series hopes. . . . ELMER FREDIN, of Kingston Road East, is a happy holiday-fisherman. He landed a 6 1b. 3 oz. speckled trout (isn't that something boys ?) while teally enjoying his holidays, up at Lake Lookinto, which is near Geraldton, in Northern Ontario. Could be a "trophy" fish, Elmer! an error by the catcher, a bad throw after Roberts had walked, scored Ryan and Cole but Rob- erts was caught trying to reach Those three runs completed threatened in the 8th on hits by Roberts and Dowe, Cole, Roberts, Dowe and Bathe, all had two aplece for Wilkinson's, in this well-earned win, that saw pitcher j12 batters.
