@ THE OSHAWA Times, Mondey, July 4, 1968 SPORTS MENU Gaels Humble Hastings ByCeorcambet (ALS Jones Triggers Five | ee. Associate Sports Editor ' SOFTBALL TOURNAMENTS, the greatest idea in years but far from new, were first employed back in the depression years of the early 30's. Credit for the original idéa goes to the basehall boys -- back in the days when almost every little village and hamlet had their own base- ball team. They weren't good enough to compete with the larger towns and of course, were no match at all for the 'teams that played in the top-notch city leagues. In those days, "the city slickers" played a-brand of amateur ball that compared favorably and. even..surpassed;--certainity--at the senior level, a lot of the semi-pro and minor profes- sional calibre displayed today. But the smaller places en- joyed intense rivalry but when they were located too far apart to make a league schedule feasible, then they could Only play weekend exhibition games. Few owned automo- biles, travelling was a slow and tedious affair and of course, daylight saving was unheard of, so by the time the chores were done, a twilight game was out of the question and even Wednesday afternoon games were few-and-far between. It was in those days that the novel form of multiple ex- hibition games, on a one-day program, was designed. Rather than visit one locale for a game with a rival team--they went earlier, to a central community, from all directions and so '"'the tournament' was born, IN THOSE DAYS the tournament was the answer--the Method used to play several games on one day, when play on one-day-a-week was the only thing. Today, the tourna- ment fills a new role, it provides variety to teams that are already playing in a season's league schedule. It adds inferest and enthusiasm to a team's regular season, helps fo promote team spirit and gives the boys an outing. Tourna- ménis also present a golden opportunity for a team that is more lively than an exhibition game. No fewer than eight softball teams from Oshawa or district, were attending tournaments over the holiday weekend, and two of the city's minor baseball clubs. In the baseball action, Oshawa Aca- dian Cleaners lost the first game of the Junior tournament in Little Britain, losing out 5-3 to their own Leaside League rivals, Richardson's Sports -- who eventually, went on.to win the Little Britain tournament. Bantam Legionnaires, playing in a tournament at Chesley, won their first game over Hamilton but lost out in the second round, to Niagara Falls. COMPLETE REPORTS on the results of the various softball tournaments, have not yet arrived at the sports desk. Oshawa Quality Fuels Midget team made a fine showing in their first game but suffered elimination 7-5, at the hands of the Toronto Cedardale Midgets, in the quarter-finals. In the big Juvenile tournament, at Niagara-on-the-Lake, Oshawa had two entries. We haven't heard how the Oshawa Jay- cees made out but People's Clothing were eliminated in the first round, in a heart-breaking 2-1 tussle, at the hands of St. Catharines Sunoco's. Brooklin Concretes, playing in the two-level tourney at Owen Sound, were 'eliminated on Do- minion Day. Scugog Cleaners were also in Owen Sound but we have no report on their success, or lack of it. The same goes for Bad Boy Appliances and General Tire, both of whom were entered in the big Intermediate-Senior tournament at .Peterborough.

Powless also scored goals while 'Jones had three assists... Neil. Armstrong, Phil Clayton and Brian Thompson also scored three times, while Jim Higgs and Dan Sandford notched pairs. Dave Keenan, Joe Krasnaj, Don Stinson and Stan. Kolesnick scored once each. Mery Marshall figured in the scoring, picking up two assists. For Hastings, were Jim Grady, LaPlante, Wayne Jim Paterson. Oshawa scored eight goals in each frame, to go into a four- point, first place lead over Toronto Township and Mimico in the Ontario' Junior A La- crosse league.

Yonkers eliminated Oshawa Gales 4-0, in the quarter finals. OSHAWA'S OWN annual tournament, the All-Ontario Junior event, recognized as one of the finest tournaments within the OASA domain, goes Saturday this week, at Alexandra Park. The popularity of the well-run Oshawa tournament is attested by the repeat entries which have come in year-to-year, ever since the event was inaugurated, mine years ago. This tournament is the testing grounds for OASA Junior 'A' playdowns and it's now almost estab- lished as factual -- if you win the Oshawa tourney, you'll not win the. OASA championship, the same season. We believe that Niagara Falls, in 1964, is the only exception. With trophies for every player, on both the winning and run- mer-up teams, an individual "'most valuable player' award and a flock of attendance prizes for the fans, this event is always a bang-up success. They play from Saturday at 1.60 p.m. to about 11.00 p.m., to declare a champion and there's always action galore. Entries already filed with the Oshawa City and District Association for. next week's big show, included Niagara-on-the-lake; Scarborough; Belleville, Galt, Sydenham, Woodstock, Smithville, Oshawa Scugog Cleaners and the team leading Oshawa's Juvenile League on July ist which is People's Clothing.

Ontario Pro-} ton Excelsiors 11-7. Brian Warnock's goal, with only 26 seconds remaining in the game, gave St. Catharines a 13-12 overtime win over To- ronto Maple Leafs Sunday night. Saturday night, Redmen look- ed like real champions as they handled Pepsis in fine style. Ken Lotton, who looks younger every game, and Don Riding sparked Redmen with three. goals each. Dave O'Brien, Bob Hanna, Tom Conlin and Stu Weiler each scored once. Johnny 'Shooter' Davis led the attack for Peterborough with two first period goals. Joe Todd, Dave Drummond, Bill Armour and Curly Mason each had singles. The game was exceptionally fast and cleanly played despite the heat, with both teams hold ing their tempers. In all, 12 penalties were handed out, all in the final two periods. Rrooklin, while not as sharp in the first period as later in the game, managed to hold on to a two-all tie. Redmen came to life briskly in the middle frame and led the Petes by a 7-5 count after 40 minutes Gary Drysdale was sensational in goal for Brooklin in the final! period, allowing only one goal.| This big fellow appears to have gained considerable confidence now, and is playing a big hand in Brooklin's bid to overtake the league leading Maple eats Sunday night's game in Port Credit against Brampton was another ding dong affair, with Brooklin showing its best in the final two periods. Drysdale again was the hig stumbling block as he stopped numerous sure goals, Late in the final period, he was dropped by a hard drive that penetrated his mask and knocked the big fel- low cold. He came back to fin- e game and drew a well deserved round of applause Terry Davis, who was blank ed in scoring goals Saturday night, had a ball Jast night. The colorful captain of the locals picked up eight points, on three goals and five assists. Elmer Tran, the fiery 'redhead' of the Redmen, had a pair of goals and as many assists. Hanna had two goals, with single markers going to Riding, Lotton, Paul Tran and Weiler, Ken Richardson and Mike Finnegan each had two for Brampton, with Julie Kowalski, Bob Chard and Bob Haw each chipping in with one t was four-all at the end of the first and 7-5 for Brooklin after the second. Next attraction for Brooklin ' | baseball tournament , will be Wednesday night, when Redmen will play host to Peter- borough. The liftiock city team will be out to make. amends for the loss suffered here Saturday night. The teams have played four times to date, splitting the points evenly. JUST TALKING ...
