BOWMIANVnlLE, ONTARW Tm fi MDAY AITG. kt, U SPORTPC By Frank Mohun - Phone MA 3-7070 BASEBALL Have you ever beard the song "What a Difference a Day Makes"? In the Bowmanviile hasebail scene it could well be- What a difference a week makes. Last week, we had a couple of Lakeshore Champions ini the Bantam Legionnaires and the tindefeated Midget Olympias. We even gave the Pee Wee Imperials a league title, but that was because we didn't get the "«faux-pas" in this column corrected in turne. But the Pee Wees are stili in a position to win anyway. We just reported the news fa little prematurely. To refresb the readers' memory - the Cowan Harvesters were three down to Port Hope, but they were advancing into O.B.A. playoffs. The Lion Juveniles were one up on Newmarket, the Olympias were idle, the Legionnaires were one down to Ajax, the Imperials were one down to New- znarket, but we weren't too worried. Now let's bring the playoff picture up to date. Niarvesters (Intermediate) The Cowan Harvesters dropped the fourth gaine 5-O to Port Hope on Friday night to lose the Lakeshore final in four straight. Trenton won a protest over the use of Gary Copeland in the second game of their series - won by Bowmanville 8-6. Now Instead of advancing to O.B.A. play, a sudden-death encounter was to be played last night against Trenton in Port Hope. Let's hope that last night wasn't the Harvesters last gaine. This report- er wiil go out on a 1imb and predîct a Bowmanviile win. Lious (Juvenile> The Lions Juveniles are rigbt where they were last week. ,After a couple of postponements in Newmarket, the scene of the second gaine was shifted to Bowmanviile to be played last night. With a 1-O series lead, a win will give the Juveniles the right to carry on in O.B.A. play. No league playoffs have been played yet.- Being a sport, I'11 cali on. Bowmanville to win here too. Olympias (Mfldgets) Fifteen wins without a loss was the Olympias record as they inarched to the Lakeshore title. Last week we bad bigh hopes for the Midgets, but a powerful Ajax team handed the locals two straight losses to end the Olympias' O.B.A. aspirations for this year. If Bowmanville had been able ta have the competition in the league all year, that they had in the finals against Newcastle- Orono, it might have been a dfferent story. Leglonnaires (Bantams) Ajax took the measure of the Legionnaires in two stra!ght games, too. The Bantains and Midgets will have to arrange to ineet some other teain next year. This la the second team to be-, forced to bang up their spikes in the space of a week. Imperlals (Pee Wees) Newmarket took two straight gaines - both in the final Inning, to knock the Imperials out of further O.B.A. competition. With the final series tîed at one win apiece a sudden death encounter will be played here against Cobourg for the Lakeshore Pee Wee Chainpionsbip. i. t i. i. i. SOCCER* Both the Serdor. and Junior Soccer Leagues completed their regular schedules on Saturday night. First place in the Senior loop went to Maple Grove, with Courtice carrying off the Junior honours. In a semi-final Junior playoff gaine, Courtice downed Maple Grove 3-0._ Last night Tyrone played host to Zion in a Senior encounter, but at the time we went to press, no score was available. Future playoff gaines this week are as follows: Junior - To-night - Solina at Zion Tuesday - Courtice at Maple Grove Senior - Saturday - Courtice at Maple Grove Wednesday - Maple Grove at Courtice Ail gaines start at 7:00 pi. ~~ Harves fer Star of the Week "'JOHNNY" MASON Last week's Friday nigbt gaine saw Port Hope's Mike Harrison reaily have the "Indian sign" on the Cowan Harv- esters. As a matter of fact, only one bail was hit out of the infield, as the big right hander appeared to be on bia way to no-bit faine. With two out in the fifth, shortstop "Johnny" Mason poked a long drive to bis wrong field, which took one bounce through a Vincent Massey window for an automatie double. Harrison, an in and outer, was really sbarp, s0 we SEPT. 5th und 6th Exhibits in Livestock - Grain - Seeds - Vegetables Domestic - Flowers - Etc.

A big seven run fourth frame made the difference, as the home teain erased a 3-2 Legion- naire lead ta go on ta a decisive 11-3 victory. Ajax captured the opener of the best of three 0. B.A. playoff series by a 12-5 margin, here last week. f Newitt hurled a steady five hitter, backed by flawless fielding ta record bis second win of the series. Only in the Port Hol When IH Four Ga Mike Harrison was the whole show, as he threw a magnif i- cent two-hitter against the Cowan Harvesters last Friday night. The big righthander had a no-hitter going for four and two-third innings, when John Mason's drive bouniced through the school window for an au- tom atic double. Harvester pit- chr"General" Jones followed. with an infield hit to deep short, but Harrison forced Vince Vanstone to pop to first. Port Hope took the gaine by a 5-0 count to sweep the series in four straight in winning the Lakeshore League Int. Cham- pionship. Scores of the other gaines were 5-4, 9-1, and 5-4. The visitors won the gaine in fourth, when the Legionnaires took a brief lead. were the la- cals able ta put together more than one hit in an inning. John Twist's walk, followed by sin- gles off the bats of Ken Veitch.r, Ray Crombie and Bob McManus produced a pair of markers. Bowmanville had earlier taken the lead on Alex Wiseman's hit, which scored Barry Steven in the first. Bill Brown was relieved in the fourth by Terry Black with three runs across and two on. In the inning, Ajax combed the offerings of both pitchers for haif of their ten hit total, along with four free passes for seven big runs. The winners counted twice more off Black in the fifth, while Newitt was hold- ing the locals hitless. RH E Bowmanville - - 3 5 2 Ajax .-----------1 10 O Bowmanville-BRo'y, Black (4th) and Crombie.

Lane threw hitlessi bal end added another strike- out. Harrison's performancewa impressive to say the least. The righty threw an assortment of fast and slow breaking stuff to keep the hitters off balance, whîle fanning 13 Harvesters, 1 including nine in the first four frames.

Olympias Lose Two Games During Entire Season Both in OBA Playoffs Bowmanville Midget Olym- pias won 15 games, witho t tasting defeat in their march ta the Lakeshore League Chamn- pionship. Once in the O.B.A. playoffs, it was a different stary. The Olympias dropped a Sat- urday encounter in Ajax 5-1 and last the second gaine ta a powv- erful Ajax nine by a 9-4 count [on Monday night. Bath games followed the saine pattern, with Ajax holding lun, 2-1 leads after seven inning, and breaking tight bail gaines wide open in the eighth. The double setback gave Ajàx the best of three series, while the Olympias will *be tbinking about extending next season's victories inta the play- offs. Ajax 5 - Bowmanviile I (Sat.) Larry Piper's single and Bill Osborne's double got the Olym- pias off ta an early 1-0 lead in the first frame in the open- ing gaine. That was the oniy run the locals were ta get ini the whole gaine, as they stran- ded the amazing total of 16 base-runners. The home teain inade four errors, while hurler McCartney walked eight and bit one batter. Despite his poor contraI, McCartney wvas great in the clutch, giving up only three hits after the opening inning, with mast of his il strikeouts coming with men on base. Bowmanville had at leasti one runrier on base in every in- ning and left tbe bases loaded on three occasions. Right-hander Jin Moorcraft scattered eight safeties and claimed eight strikeouts to trail 2-1 gaing into the eighth. Moorcraft tired ta f ill the basis on a walk, a single and another walk. He issued the third base on balîs af the frame to force in a run, and pinch-hitter Meek's single plated two mare insurance markers. Ajax had previously tied the score on a single and two-out triple in the first, and taken the Iead in the fourth on a walk and a pair of singles.

As in the first gaine, a big four run eighth innif g proved ta be the difference, with Ajax scoring four times ta break up the 2-1 tilt. In the frarne the visitars ran the bases in a dace- devil manner which paid off well. A single and a hit bats- men put runners on second a third with one out. Pitcher Hill's sacrifice hoist ta riglht scored bath runners, when Bill Osborne's relay ta the plate went wild.
