JUVES EDGE PRESTON, ONLY GAME AWAY FROM PROVINCIAL TITLE Once again demonstrating their| worth as diamond opportunists, Oakville's Snow Construction juveniles battled their way' to within one game of an Ontario championship Saturday as they defeated a powerful Preston squad by a 5-1 margin. Second game of this O.B.A. final series will be played at Preston this Saturday, afternoon. Coming up with terrific defen- sive displays to provide the sea- son's best game to date, the two clubs battled on even, scoreless terms for six innings to keep a bumper crowd perched on the edges of their seats. Then, in the last of the seventh, came the big break. Wilf Herbert, who came through with another sterling mound effort, walked to start the inning, moved ahead as Scarrow lined out a single. Then Jimmy Withnell stepped into the hero's role by lashing out a line single to cash both his mates. Still un- satisfied, Jimmy stole second, then scored as visiting hurler Halberstadt miscued on Red- shaw's roller and later wild pitch- ed to the screen. Preston got one back in the eighth on a pair of singles, but Herbert bore down hard the rest of the way to finish with a 5-hit performance. His mates salted the game away In their half of the inning as Rutledge walked, Opie Camm drilled a single to left, Sale sacrificed, and Herbert plat- ed two runners with another sin- gle. The entire local club played bang-up ball in the field, with Gary Hughes showing to partic- ularly good advantage at short | after committing his team's only bobble. It is expected that a goodly number of local fans will journ- ey to Preston Saturday for the second tilt, which will definitely be one of baseball's top battle royals. The Preston crew is the strongest aggregation Bud Cor- bett's lads have faced this seas- on, and if the local kids can smother their bid, they will have fully earned their provincial pen- nant. B.A. ROUNDS OAKS DRUB LEASIDE, ENTER SEMI-FINAL TEST Given scarcely more than a workout by a woefully inept Lea-| side squad in last week's play- down series, Oakville Oaks Wed- nesday night meet Batawa at Wallace park In the first game of the O.B.A. intermediate A semi finals. The Shoemen ousted Bowmanville to qualify for the second last round. A fair crowd of dumfounded local fans, expecting to see the Oaks meet top opposition, last Wednesday night saw the Yarnell men romp to a 19-0 win over the Leasiders in what was undoubted- ly the most one-sided playdown contest ever to take place here. The visitors were never in the picture as the homesters pounded out 16 hits, stole bases at will, and made the most of no less than 13 Leaside miscues. It was a dull travesty of playoff ball that left every spectator fully convinced that the O.B.A. should definitely study ways and means of screen- ing league winners in order to pre- vent repetitions of farcical "con- tests" like this one. Al Yarnell had a no-hitter up to the seventh frame, when a dinky single broke his unblemished skein. Frank May finished the hurling chore, allowing a pair of safetles to start the ninth, but nonetheless claiming four of the last six outs via the strikeout Andy Milne and Harry Herd paced the clouting parade with homers, while every Oak hit safely at least once. Saturday's second much closer, partly due to the| fact that several Oak regulars were missing from the lineup that| took the field In Toronto, May again went to the hill and kept things well under control all the way as his mates coasted to a 6-2 decision, allowing only five hits over the distance. The Leasiders, apparently determined to atone for their sorry showing of Wed- nesday, battled on even terms at, 2all until the fourth, when the Oaks buckled down to go ahead. On the play, the locals should route. game was ORIVE IN ToDay,..

There were 79 deaths .from 798 cases of diphtheria in Canada in 1949, and 202 deaths from 7,942 cases of whooping cough, 'the Health League says. These 281 deaths were unnecessary because both diphtheria and whooping! cough are preventable. EON It is pointed out that toxoid is still the perfect diphtheria preven: tive and that there is vaccine which is most effective in check ing whooping cough. Even inthe few instances where this vaccine does not prevent the onset of 'the disease, it resolves the case into a mild attack. Diphtheria toxoid and whooping cough vaccine are available everywhere, the Health League statement says, and the 281 .re- ported deaths are the responsi bility of those who failed to have the children under their care pro- perly immunized. In many in- stances health authorities and private physicians give diphther- ia toxoid, whooping cough vaccine and tetanus toxoid In the one in- jection. have cashed at least double the number of runs the final figures showed. BANTAMS TRIM N'MARKET, POINT TO ONT. TITLE Cushioned by a convincing 17-5 victory here last Saturday night, Oakville Motors bantams journ- eyed to Newmarket Wednesday for the second game of their 0.B. A. semifinal series. Winner of the set will take on the winner of the Caledonia-Wheatley series for the provincial title. It was a bit of a walkway for the red-clad local kids as they fashioned 10 hits to go with six Newmarket errors and a like number of walks to run up thelr top heavy total. Bill Richmond's pair of lusty triples and Bunk Lawrence's three-play smash, along with twirler Mel Medland's trio of singles, paced the win- ner's willow attack. Medland doled out but four hits during the five innings he tossed, and fanned five. Buck Snowball, who took over In the sixth when the game was well in hand, didn't have the same measure of suc- cess, however. Ian Sheppard was rushed to the mound In the sey- enth when the Newmarket young: sters came through with their only threatening sally, and man- aged to put out the fire with a very workmanlike chore, The heads-up performance of his proteges, who have been waiting playdown competition for several weeks, was more than heartening to coach Bud Cor bett, who now has visions of a pair of Ontario champlonships after the Saturday showings of his juvenile finalists.
