Although Ev Quantrili hurl- ed a three-hit game for Whitby, his mates faltered in the field and ailowed two unearned runs that came close to costing Whitby the game. Paul Michael, pitching far the Royals, got off ta a shaky start, allowing twa runs in the first in- n.ing, but he settled down and pitched shutout baIl until the last of the eighth, when Whitby got a pair of runs ta tie the score. Dafoe led off in the first inning for Whitby with a single over sec- ond hase, and went ta second on Rae's sacrifice. Reed foliowed with a long two-base bit over Bagneil's head in centre-field ta drive in a run, and he scored ail the way from second as Macdonald drilled a single into right-field, ta give Whitby a 2-0 lead. Whithy threatened again in the third, when Reed hit a ground rule double into deep right-fîeld, his second straight two-hase hit, but he was thrown out trying ta get ta third on a passed bail. Bowmanvilie got an unearned run in the top of the fourth in- ning to make the score 2-1. With twa out, Cowan waiked and stole second, and he raced ail the way home when Harden dropped a third strike on Richards, and his hurried throw ta first base pulled Rae off the bag. In the fifth inning, Bagneli drew a b ase an balis after Michael had fanned, and he stole second and scored as Gilhooiey singled for the first bit of the game off Quantrill. Padget apened the inning with a single into deep left-field, and he advanced an an infield put-out and a passed bail. Then Richards singled through second base, ta drive in a run, but he was picked off first base on a throw from Harden ta Raie. Bowmanville Rayais completed their scaring in the seventh with another unearned run, on some weird piaying hy the Whitby team. After Michael went down swinging for the second time, Bag- neil got on base as Reed made a bad throw to first hase. Bagnel attempted to steal second, and when Harden made the throw ta second, Macdonald missed the bah m ad it got away from Gates in centre-field, and Bagneil slid 1 under the throw ta, the plate ta score. Whitby were unable ta get even a hit off Michael from the fourth until the eighth. Rae apened the. eighth inning by grounding out Gilhooley ta Osborne. Reed work- ed Michael for a walk, and went ta third as Macdonald delivered his second single of the game. Macdonald stole second with Har- den at the plate, and the Whitby catcher atoned for his previaus error by batting in two runs with a hit ta centre-field, but he was thrown out at second trying ta stretch it into a double., Yuili papped out ta Richards at third base ta en~d the inning, and the gamne was called because of dark- ness. Reed and Macdonald paced the Whithy teàm at the plate. Reed got a pair of two-baggers and a walk in four appearances, and Macdonald got two singles and a walk in an equai number of tries. Giihooiey, Padget and, Richards divided the three Bowmanviile hits. Quantrili edged Michael in the hurling department, aiiowing but three bits, whiie hbe struck out five and waiked the same num- ber. Michael kept six Whitby bits weil scattered, and be fanned six while issuing three bases on halls.

SmalI But Tough A pair of 25-pound wolverines J s beeni known to get the besti 'A a 500-pou.nd bear. Oebome'. Umperlais Take Opening Came Hard Fought Baffle Opening the high-b;acket Bow- manville Softball League after weeks of rain twQ, tough oppon- ents met Thursday evening at the Public Sehool diamond be- fore a big crawd of fans. It was a contest between Mike Osborne's Imperial 011 fine and the com- bined aggregation of King's Taxi and Gus Annis" billiard parior sharp shooters. Few spectators expected to see so early in the season the high-class brand of bail dished up. The result-10-7 for Mike's Place. But the issue was in doubt until the final frames for the teams closed the 5th inn- ings with a 7-7 tie. It was a pitching duel ail the way with Trewin and Hately do- minant for King-Annis in the car- ly frames against Williams and Don Rundie for Mike's hard hit- ters. The payoff came when Ted Bagneil and Ai Osborne clouted homers in the 6th to overcome a feature home run clout by- Wait Polley in the 3rd for the taxi- pool gang.- It was 7-3 for the losers in the 4th but field errors led ta their final downfall. Heavy hitters and smart field- ers of both teams were an indica- tion that the softbail season wili wend its way as a crowd-pleas- ing brand of entertainment this year. It looked like curtains for Mike's when the first frame end- ed 4-1 against them. Bets were laid following L. Rundle's home run to mark up 7-3 but the short- takers* banked on the Osborne heavy hitters and won out in the final verdict. Porky Osborne, hard h i t t e r of The- Statesman staff, crashed out a feature smash in the 3rd that driiled a neat hole in the 2nd storey school window but was counted a foui. The bail was re- trieved next morning when pupils came to, classes ane the league wilI be nicked $1.25 for repairs. Dutch Osborne, oid-time star came on from Oshawa to star at Ist base for Mike's team. Main features were the. blind pickups of Mike's îifield of hot smashes from the King-Annis bats. On the complete showing of the evening, few will wish to place bets on the auteome of their next contest. Look for fast action in softbal now that the season is officiaily opened.
