One more Gambler win will put them in the Ontario 0.A.S.A. Cham- pionships which will be played in Port Perry on the Séptember 13th & 14th weekend. It should be very in- teresting to see how Greenbank and Port Perry Legion will fare against "the cream of the Ontario Inter. "C" teams across the province. 0.A.S.A. action has disrupted the 'Oshawa City and District League games and the Gamblers still have to make up four games to complete their league schedule.

In the 4-3 loss to the Merchants, Port Perry had numerous chances to pull out the win, but couldn't get . the key hit when it counted. Ken Ir- vine pitched the complete game and was victimized by a couple of errors while taking the loss. Supplying the attack for Port were Bob Evans with two hits including a homerun, Jay and Lawrie Williams with two hits, with /singles going to Grant Jackson and Ken Irvine. Against A.C.L., Port jumped to a quick 3-0 lead in the 3rd inning but let A.C.L. tie it with single runs in the 4th, 5th and 6th innings. Starting pitcher Lawrie Williams started and was relieved by Ken Irvine in the 6th inning. In the bottom of the 7th and last inning Ken Bryant, Ken Irvine and Bob Evans hit safely giving the Legion Squad the win.
