Members Active These Days Local Yachters Postpone Their Novice Race | Parkdale Derbys "Visit Oshawa Seniors TI ¥rhe first parade of the Second Battalion of the Ontario Regiment, NMP.AM, slightly interfered with the local softball schedules last night. © Fiberglas had too many men in "the army" and so were un~ able' to play against Whitby as scheduled. Dixon's Coal also called of their game with Bill's Place. Both games will be played at a later date. vo dP In the meantime, it's Pepsi-Colas vs. Robsen Leather down at the Stadium: tonight. Minus the services of such regulars as; Wilf. Lewis, pitcher; and "Lefty" Thomson, re- gular: first baseman and "Billy" Taylor," hard-hitting infielder, the Pepsi's will likely have a tough time of it tonight against the Tan- nery but you never can tell.

Their play was rough and .crude, in fact at times very dirty last night. With the "Cokes" refusing to back up, the result was 8 host of penalties and most of the goals were scored when the teams were short-handed. The big "catch" was that Oshawa were given more penalties than the Yorkers -- due, we think, to the fact that the ref- eree usually saw the Oshawa player "striking back" but had failed to see the' first blow. Oshawa were blanked 4-0 in the first period snd that early lead won the game for the homesters. Coca-Colas held their own~in the second, outscored East York in the third and then faded:ragain in the fourth, when more 'Pénalties paved the way for easy goals. Three times in the game, Oshawa played with two men in the pensdty box. ap * + » The "Cokes" have no more sched- uled games until next Thursday - night, when Brooklin visits Osha- wa ght. since there are a few post- (" ghmes to be. caught up, it is ex| the locals may play in etertio; P to, early next week.

The Oshawa Yacht Club members have the "coolest" sport for this hot wea- ther and the dinghies are getting plenty of workout these evenings. +» » Toronto Leafs lost another one yesterday . . .

All along the major baseball front, there are upsets every day and this season's pennant race in each of the two big leagues, is keen and excit- ing, with the winner very much in doubt. * * » However, here in Oshawa, lo- cal baseball fans can turn their eyes to Alexandra Park tomor- row afternoon. Parkdale Der- bys played a 0-0, 8-inning game with Riverdale Grads last night in their "City Series". It shows the smart defensive ball the Derbys are playing just now and Oshawa fans can expect a real display en Saturday, when the Derbys visit here. * + @ Manager 'Peg" Hurst and Coach Tracy Shaw will have to fill Dolly Dalton's shoes at shortstop as the little infielder is out again for two weeks or more, having again wrenched his bad knee. Maxie Yourth will likely get the call. The other members of the infield will have to brush up, too. They were not so hot against the "Oilers" on Wednesday night, but of course, the entire team had a bad night, both st the plate and in the field. +» + 4 If Oshawa can climb back aboard the victory wagon tomotrow after- noon at the expense of the Park- dale Derbys, theyll be once again firmly entrenched in first place. Good Rich is a second right now while Peterboro, Riverdale Grads and Parkdale Derbys are all closely bunched, no more than one or two points separating any of them from third place. > + 4 If Hurst, Jubenville, Mat- thews, Wallace, Kitchen Row- den and the rest of the boys can start hitting again tomorrow the Oshawa boys are sure to pile up a lot of runs. "Steamer" Lucas or perhaps "Jake" Biddle will do the hurling for Oshawa tomorrow. ' Either way, it'll be a popular choice and with good weather, a big crowd is expect- ed in the grandstand. DERBYS PLAY SCORELESS TIE WITH R. GRADS Toronto, July 26.--Parkdale Der- bys and Riverdale Grads failed to declare a winner in their second. round City series tilt at Viaduct Park last night, the game ending in g scoreless deadlock after eight innings, being called then because of darkness. His were scarce as Norm Mof« fat and Lefty Lesurf waged g thrill. ing mound duel from start to fin- ish. Moffat looked headed for a no. hitter, but the Derbys punched out the only two hits they go. off the hard-working veteran in the seve enth inning.

YACHTING Novice Race Postporred The mid-weekly Wednesday night race held off the local harbor, was postponed; to be run-off next Wed- nesday evening at the usual time. After going around the course twice, buoys to port, there was such an influx of protests objecting to the starting time of the judge's watch which unknowingly had stopped during the five-minute preparatory period that it was de- cided to re-run the entire race and hus save argument on everyone's part.

Dissension among the Oshawa players appeared and with no re- serves on hand "Dusty" Claus had no alternative but to let the players continue, where a little co-operation might have changed the result. D. Downey, on the mound for the Roamers, had the Oshawa batters under control all evening and re- ceived good support from her team- mates. This win evens up the series at 3 wins and 3 losses each.

The mile | race for Instance--every time it comes up for discussion there is a regular argument as to the close finish and fast time. 'There are many who point out that Reg.

The hole, which ranges from 100 to 125 yards in length, according to where the markers are set, has proved exceptionally p with players. In previous Canadian Opens there have been some 8 opujar pecial added features, including long driving competitions, and it has been announced that this year there will be a special "19th hole" event on the Thursday and Friday. On each of these days every player in the field which is competing for the Seagram Gold Cup and first prize of $1,000, will play one shot from the 19th tee to the green. On each day there will be two prizes, for the two players who place their ball closest to the centre of the cup. There .will be no putting out; the player plays his shot and by the time he reaches the green the distance from the pin will have been measured and his ball returned to him, | gold, sliver and bronze medals and will be well worth winning.

The game was much closer than the score indicates and a 4-0 lead built up in the opening frame was the big margin of victory for the homesters. The "Cokes" were slow in getting under way and could not find the net with their marksman- ship in the first period.

Bovin, Barron and Eddolls were the Osh- awa goal-scorers while Fleming, Maxstead and Headley registered for East York.
