Second game of the 3-out-of-5 series goes tomorrow night and the fans, who didn't have too much in the way of seating accommodation last night, will be glad to know that the regular stands will be back in their usual place. They were used as a "grandstand" for the Oshawa Fair this week and hadn't yet been replaced last night-- but with the chilly weather prevailing, there really weren't too many fans inconvenienced. Ronnie Taylor apparently liked the cool weather as he pitched one of his best games of the season. If "Sambo" Smith comes up with a similiar performance tomorrow night, Heffer= ing's are apt to be "hanging on the ropes". The odds are 3 to 1, however, (that the muscular, aggressive Kid won't dethrone Griffith.

Griffith, Each fighter figures to make ,laround $25,000 Saturday from television and gate receipts FIGHTS LAST NIGHT OSHAWA"S big hope (and last) for a provincial OASA softball championship, lies with Connaught Park Pee- wees.. They play Woodstock here at Connaught Park on Saturday afternoon at 2:00 o'clock, in the second game of the Ontario finals. A win for Connaught Park will give them the title, as they won the first game 4-3 in Woodstock last Saturday. Should they lose early to- morrow afternoon, the third and deciding game will be played on the same diamond, with about a half-hour "rest". The Connaught Park boys ran into an orthodox style left-hander, Jay Backwood, and the Woodstock youngster gave Connaught Park their toughest opposi- tion of the season. Oshawa had to score two runs--after there were two out--in the 7th inning, to tie the game. Then in the "overtime" 8th frame, Oshawa Connaught got two more runs and Woodstock could only manage one. The Connaught Park fans admit that their boys got most of "the breaks" in Woodstock last Saturday and also admit that the game or games here tomorrow, will be a stern test. However, if Johnny Dick, the Connaught speedballer, comes up with one of his better games and his mates give him good support, it is felt they can claim the OASA championship tomorrow afternoon, Los Angeles--Battling Torres, | | querque, NM, 2 Dejamette, 186.3; West Virginia State Penitentiary, stopped Tun- ney Hunsaker, 201, Payetteville, W.

Chris Krause, the hard work- ing match secretary, is attempt- ing to arrange an exhibition game for the Vikings' second team on Sunday, Oct. 1. It is hoped that one of the Toronto of the Olympic Arena, cradle of say. junior hockey in this city for almost 50 years, will no longer echo to the boom of a frozen puck on the end boards. The north - end rink, which probably has spawned more out- standing hockey players since 1922 than any other in the country, has become Winnipeg's first pay-as-you-play curling es- tablishment. The conversion from hockey to curling is another milestone in the ice-based career of Jack Perrin, who claims he lost about $200,000 in a five-year attempt to promote professional hockey in this city. A few weeks ago the Western Hockey League granted Perrin's Winnipeg Warriors a year's leave of absence. People close to the scene say the leave of absence is likely to be per- manent. | The tall, handsome and often unpredictable Perrin announced his curling project early in September. He makes no bones about being interested in selling his hockey interests, which in- two entries in the five League, This winter the junior teams, St. Boniface Canadiens and Win-| nipeg Braves, will share the facilities o the city - operated Winnipeg Arena with two other MJHL clubs, Winnipeg Mon- archs and Winnipeg Rangers.

Thistles, after a most successful season in 1960, have fallen down the ladder of suc-| cess this year but they are hop- ing to win this competition, In Italia they are meeting a club which has yet to win a trophy. Renato Dreossi, the popular secretary of the Italia club, has who have both determination and confidence and this was demonstrated in a victory over Oshawa Hungaria last Saturday and Dreossi feels he has the horses to go all the way. He has been helped by the addition of two new players, who have quickly gained stardom, Ped- retti and Lopes, and he hopes their shooting boots will score the required number of goals to bring victory Saturday night. The earlier starting time is for the convenience of fans and players who wish to go else- where after the game.
