Smith Hazzard, With a triple, and doubles by Jen- son and Hill sparked the winning attack on the combined offerings of Murphy and Pennycook. Home runs off the bats of Mickey Forbes and Ed Franks made the difference as West- sides edged Oakville Dairy by a 10-8 score in a hard, close tilt. Mickey had a shade the best of his 'tossing duel with Fraser and bowled for one at 63. At 84 Pete| Carter, Downe. was Lbiw. for 5, after which Ham Smith helped boost the score over the 100 mark be- fore being bowled for 6 Two fours and a'single by D.

This Saturday Club will meet Cricket Club Dleby. the Oakville the Dovercourt of 'Toronto at Ap-' Improved Juves Head For Another Halton County Loop Title Although they only managed to tally five hits, Bud Corbett's im- proving juveniles pranced through two big scoring innings Saturday to Tegister a 9-0 win over Georgetown and jump into a game and a half lead in the Halton County league race. The local youngsters have two games this week to wind up their sched- ule, meeting Georgetown again next Saturday at Wallace park. Jim Scarrow and Slugger Sale notched two hits each and Denny: Camm walloped a double for the Oakville hit total. A barrage of walks aided as the Corbett crew pushed over three runs in the first and five in the second frame. Wilt Herbert also twirled five- hit ball, although two of these bingles were bunts beaten out by speedy Georgetown base runners. Wilf whiffed nine. Qaks-Drop Pair, Now Three Games Off League Pace Some supersensational fly snatching by Acton outfielders and some weird Oaks base run- ning last week combined to give the locals their third loss of the season. The 53 Acton win slenderized to the thinnest thread any chance of Oakville finishing in first place in the Halton loop, as to do so, the Oaks would have to trim Fergus in their next meet- irlg, then have Acton take the loop leaders. And this happy sit- uation would only deadlock the Oaks and the Vics in a top slot draw. Oakville sluggers were pound- ing the ball hard against Acton tossing, but at least five twilight robberies by homester flychasers went a long way to muffle the Oaks attack. Frankie May, on the Oakville hill, was not so ! fortunate in his support and de- served a better fate. watching three drives sall past his outfielders, also saw a 3-0 lead dissolve rapidly in the later innings. Oaks were in the game right into the last frame, however. Paul Gilliam doubled, and should have scored easily as an Acton outer gardener failed to grab Kenny right on his heels as he sped from second to third, and the throw in trapped him be- tween third and home. Pollock played a terrific game at short, being far and a the best man on the field from a defensive standpoint. Frankie, Loose Close One A four-base drive and a one-hit restricting Ross Trims Ferguson In Long Awaited Classic Mile Duel Successfully fending off a last minute spurt by his rival, gallop- ing Johnny Ross roared over the cinders of Hamilton's Civic sta- dium' last Friday night to emerge victorious in his long awaited mile duel with Toronto's highly publicized Rich Ferguson. Although the Canadian Press report of this Canadian senior track and field championship meet described Johnny's win as "the biggest upset of the night," it didn't come under the heading of surprise to the young Oakville miler or Pete Taylor, his coach: Ross has been quietly confident of his ability to take Ferguson's measure, while Taylor has been even more convinced that his protege could outfoot romping Rich. In fact, Pete was particu- larly disappointed when Ferguson declined to contest the junior mile honors at Pantry park the week previous. Ross hit the tape a full three yards in front of the Toronto miler in the comparatively 'slow senior time of 4.2.3 but finished with plenty to spare, and might well have shaded this mark ap preciably if pushed harder. GIRL SOFTBALLERS BATTLE FOR THIRD With playdowns 24, Oakville's feminine softball- ers are in the thick of a hotly contested struggle with Bramp- ton and Georgetown for third and fourth positions in the Central Ontario Ladies League. The local lasses lost a fine op- portunity to strengthen their pos- ition as they dropped a tough 5-4 decision to Dixie in an eleven in- ning contest. Jean Patterson held the winners well in check as the two squads battled on even 4-all starting July terms through the later innings, but a single with one on spelt disaster In the fatal eleventh frame. Dairy's Rochester Club Claims Peewee Laurels Oakville Dairy's Rochester squad downed Lakeshore Clean- ers' Kansas City team in two straight games to capture the town peewee championship last week. Tan Shepherd tossed spark: ling ball to handcuff the Kan- sas City lads, allowing only 2 runs as his team-mates rolled in 60, and 4-2 victories.

Jus e Triumphs Over All! Dazed But Still Determined, Whip Foils Ski-Hi's Villainous Plan Not since "Uncle Tom's Ca- bin" played in the town hall at the turn of the century has Mil ton enjoyed such a concentrated dose of stark, unadulterated mel- odrama as that administered to some 500 appreciative specta- tors in the new Milton arena last Friday night. It was billed as the district debut of big time wrestling but it was much much more than just mere grappling. There was com- edy and suspense, heroism and thie most despicable villainy, pain and joyous excitement. And, all rolled together, the show made for la highly satisfying evening's entertainment. Principal actors In the rapidly unfolding plot were those two outstanding athletic thespians, Messrs Whipper William Watson and Ski-Hi Lee. The handsome Mr. Watson, as most everyone knows, has rocketed high into the wrestling firmament since he changed his name from plain un- romantic Billy Potts and took off for England several years ago. Always the perfect gentle- man, even under the most ex- treme provocation, the Whipper is ever a top favourite with his audience as he strives manfully ti adhere to what small sem- blance of rules and regulatio: the grappling sport still retains. Not so Mr. Lee, however. Seven foot two inches of well propor- tioned muscle and gristle, the hirsute hillbilly from the Ozark wilds of northern Mimico goug- ed, kicked, punched and gener- ally belabored a long suffering Watson until that worthy almost forgot that he was dedicated to the principles laid down in the Golden Rule. Finally In fact, the Whip fell prey to extreme exas- peration, and captured 'the first fall with his famed Canadian Avalanche hold after tossing the agonized Ski-Hi about like an oversized sack of meal in a ser- ies of body slams. The crowd's delight in this ac- complishment was short-lived, though. When Lee lurched back into the ring for the second fall, he promptly demonstrated that his early behaviour was a parlor. performance as compared with the nauseating nastiness of which he is really capable. You could even say that Lee became real rude. Not only did he kick and gouge, but he almost twisted poor Whip- per's right arm out of his socket. This he followed with some very expedient bumping of the Wat- on the corner turn in short order he had got him a fall and evened up the bout. This unkind treatment was too much for even the gentle Mr. 'Watson. He was out of his cor- ner like a flash for the third fall, and was glying his gigantic op- ponent what for when suddenly the roof fell in on him. Referee Maxwell also succumbed at the same time, Ski-Hi utilizing the very satisfactory method of belting Mr. Maxwell with the helpless Watson head, and foll- owing through by tossing Whip dowmr beside the recumbent Max- well. It looked like curtains for the disciples of decency--but virtue finally triumphed. Into the ring sped a palr of grapplers from the preliminary bouts, gar- bed in street clothes, and these | in the fifth and start TEN PHONE 957 AWNINGS Tailored to your individual FULL SELECTION OF FINE FABRICS Century Awning Co. Representative: DOMINION FURNITURE STORE requirements DAYS DELIVERY OAKVILLE worthy buckos succeeded in tie- ing the evil Mr. Lee up long enough for a dazed Whipper to climb back on his feet and belt his tormentor into submission. It wasn't exactly a fair way of doing things, but Ski-Hi had it coming to him, if you could judge by the roar of the crowd when Maxwell recovered sufficiently to hoist the Watson hand in victory. The re- feree, of course, didn't see all the skullduggery that led up to the deciding fall. How could he, when he was writhing In pain on the canvass? So all was well (that ended so well, and the crowd went home hoarse but happy. Highlight of the prelims was the appearance of that mighty mite, 6 ft. 10 Inch Wee Willle Davis, who finally fell before the righteously determined onslaught of Frank Kraspi, a clean cut clean living lad if there ever was one. But not before Wea Will loosened several Kraspl molars with some very snide illegal blows.
