Silver Centre Again Are League Champions Silver Centre, 22, McIntyre, 6. The ash-wielders from Lorrain surely came back with a ven- geance last Thursday afternoon at Cobalt, to tie up the play-off series with the gold moilers from Schumacher. The latter had tak- en the first two games, played in Timmins, in rather easy fashion, 14-8 and 8-6, but the grabbing off of the third, which would ensure them the championship and pos- session of the McInnis Trophy, was a different matter entirely. At that, it looked as though they had Thursday's battle safe- ly tucked away, when they plas- tered Harry Mullin's offerings to "all corners of the lot for five runs before he was derricked in favor of "Boots" Gregg, who allowed two safeties in the eight and one- third innings he toiled. Frankie has been a sort of third-string pitcher for the Silver Centre crew, hurling for the "scrubs" a- gainst the regulars, and taking part in a few exhibition games, so it was an unexpected pleasure to the team's supporters when he twirléd such masterly ball, after Mullin was yanked. Gregg wasa trifle shy on control, issuing 3 passes and hitting one batsman, but the only run scored off him was the result of Gouthier's two- ply smash, an error and a sacri- fice fly. After the third inning, the visitors got one man to third and one as far as second. The hitting of Seth Cowden, Archie Howes, Brock Cross and Stan Lemon and the base running of Hary Cowden and Ron. Scott, -were other features of the game. Silver Centre, facing' a six-run deficit-in the fourth,.squeezed a. ir-of Gounterg im and in the 6th. they commenced: the} avalanche whith buried the McIntyre hopes. Seventeen men'went'to bat in this frame, and thirteen of\them came all the way round. to score. Not content with this, which gave them a lead of nine runs, the Sil- ver camp gang came back and scored a quartette of tallies in the seventh and three more in the eighth. It was one of those days when one team could-do nothing right and.the other nothing wrong. The winners. played with abandon, taking all kinds of chances on the bases and getting away with it. Valin allowed fourteen hits of varied lengths and varieties and his mates gave him terrible sup- port, having no less than a dozen juicy errors, Valentine and Roth- well contributing seven of them. The former really was responsib- le for the big rally in the sixth, when he dropped a fly ball with an easy double play in sight. The terrible details: SILVER CENTRE ab r 5 ° H. Cowden, s.s.-.....

L. title and McInnis trophy,play- ed on Saturday afternoon last at Liskeard Beach, between Silver Centre, last year's champions, and the McIntyre team, of Schumach- er, winners of the northern group was won by thé Silver campers, 8-4, in as tidy a tussle as has been witnessed around here this year. Newkirk, on the mound for Silver Centre, let McIntyre bat- ters down with one hit in the first five frames. The Northerners made their first threat to score in the fifth, with the count 7-0 a- gainst them. Valentine, first up, drew a walk, and after Valin had fanned, Park singled, to send Valentine to third.' Park stole second and Chisholm bounced to Stan Lemon, who headed Valen- tine at the plate on a snappy play. Silver Centre had taken a lik- ing to Nottingham's slants in the second, Harry Cowden, first up, drove one past third, Russ.Lemon followed with one almost in the \ same spot, sending the-. Silver Centre captain to third, and tak- ing second on the throw to third. Seth Cowden started in where he left off on Thursday by cracking a single to centre, scoring both runners and taking second on the throw to the plate. Newkirk was called out on strikes and St. Cyr popped to-the catcher just in)" front of the plate. Mullin looped a Texas Leaguer over short, and Valentine's throw to the plate was wide, S. Cowden scoring. Three runs, four hits, one error. Silver Centre added another in the third but it took five singles to do it, two runners being caught at the plate trying to score from second on singles. Three tallies came during the fifth. Notting- ham fumbled Stan Lemon's roller H. Cowden bounced to third and Angrignon had Lemon headed at second, but Gauthier dropped the throw and both men were safe. Russ Lemon followed with a hit to centre, scoring Stan. S. Cow- den grounded to first and Park held the ball while H. Cowden trotted over the plate. Newkirk skied to centre. St. Cyr bounced to second and Gauthier fumbled it, R. Lemon crossing the pan. McIntyre started their rally in, the eighth, when Newk's good right arm felt the strain. --~Chis- holm started it with a double to right, Rothwell singled to centre, and went to second on the throw which held Chisholm at third. Fitzjohn drove in: two with his bingle to left, and made second on the toss to the plate: Gauth- ier beat out a slow roller down the 'first base line. Fitzjohn scored and Gauthier made second while Nottingham was being tos- sed out,.from short.. Gauthier stole third and scored when Stan Lemon made a bad peg to first orf Valentine's grounder, the latter making second. Valin ended the rally when he'skied to right. The Northerners thréateréd 'again, in theit half Of, thé ninth! | Newkirk startéd the inning by. walking) Park,.and he figured he had. had, enough. . Harry Cawden toed, the slab, and.fanned Chisholm on four}: pitched balls. Rothwell singled between short and third and Park was held at second. Fitzjohn's sacrifice moved both runners a- long. Angrignon came up witha chance to win himself fame, but grounded out, short to first. The play was very close. This end- ed the 1927 series for the cham- pionship of the Temiskaming Baseball League, after the most successful season in many years.

This his fourth hit for the day. should lend added interest to the game in the North, and if the pro- per men are placed at the head of affairs no trouble should be had in securing the affiliation. It has been rumored that C. F. Magurn, of Iroquois Falls, who has been a keen worker for the League for years, might be induced to accept the Presidency this year. Archie Howes, crack first sack- er for Silver Centre, had the mis- fortune to tear a ligament in his leg in Thursday's game and was out of the final battle on Satur- day. Archie had been hitting the ball far and wide during the sea- son and in the play-offs and it was feared that his absence would spoil his team's chances of win- ning. But the infield was swit- ched around, Scott going to first and Hary Mullin taking Scott's place at third, and it worked out all right. Silver Centre club officials are trying to make arrangements for an exhibition series with Copper Cliff, winners in the Nickel Belt League, but nothing definite had been decided up to a late hour on Wednesday. I..A. Solomon, the McIntyre; manager, and former resident of} Haileybury, came in for a lot of kidding when his team was slap- ped down in the two tilts in Co- balt, but he took his medicine bravely, and warned his tormen- tors to look out for his team next year.
