"Cowboy" Smith, ace hurl:r for the Kingston team, allowed only four hits last night so it sounds as if he was some shucks as a softball tosser. He fanned only four batters while Johnny Bawden, the Belleville hurler, struck out 13 batters but still allowed 11 hits. * + » Pepsi-Colas will apparently have to be at their best to ad- vance past Kingston Tanners. They have a strong fielding team, a very heavy-hitting ag- gregation and are supported mainly by an outstanding pit- cher. Smith not only sets the rival batters down in grand style but he is his team's own leading hitter. + + Other Kingston members of the club are Harrison See, Gow, Bone- ham, McGlade, Ball," Clark, Hart- man, Udall, Kinnear, and others not so well-known locally. FAL i Along with Smith the pitcher, Les Boneham, the former Osh- awa softball player, is one of the team's best hitters with See and Gow as other real clouters. Yesterday they had it all over the Belleville team from start to finish, despite Bawden's 13 strikeouts, Pepsi-Co claim they do not fear fast pitching or any hurler with a lot of "stuff" but they do admit that theyll have to show more hitting power against King- ston than they showed against Pet- erboro. On the other hand, Pepsi's modestly point out that they are usually a strong defensive club themselves and perhaps Kingston will have trouble in getting runs, too. oe we oe At any rate, tonight sees the first game at the Motor City Stadium here and it should at- tract the biggest softball crowd of the season. Once a club reaches the Ontario playdowns, interest grows by leaps and bounds and right now, the suc- cess of the Pepsi-Colas is of in- terest to every softball fan in Oshawa and a lot of them are going to be on hand at six o'- clock tonight, when the umpire calls "play ball", > rb In the Junior softball finals in Toronto, East Riverdale Jrs., de- | feated St. Stanilaus 6-4 last night, | to even up the final series at one | victory each.

The Cliff squad came from behind a 3-0 deficit in the fourth and fifth innings to completely and decisive- ly rout' the Frood team for the third and last time. Copper Cliff won the first game, lost the sec- ond, but came right back to win two in a row. Gerry Wallace, fleet Copper Cliff third-sacker, was the potent bats- man with three hits in five trips up.

Hollinger Downs Toburn in First Kirkland Lake, Sept. 4. --Backing up Reg Rorey's three-hit effort with some timely clouting, Holling- er defeated Toburn, 5-1, here Tues- day afternoon in the first game of a best-of-five series for the cham- pionship of the Temiskaming Base- | ball League. Dorey worked effectively on the Hollinger mound throughout allow- ing lone singles in the fourth, sev= enth and eighth innings. Ray La- rose, on the Toburn hill, found that | his support left him at the crucial | stages, two of the Hollinger runs being assisted by Toburn errors. Lou Romauldi was the money man for the winners, driving in three runs with his two hits, one being g two-run &gmash in the sixth inning. The same teams meet here in the second game of the playoffs on Wednesday afternoon. Chicago White Sox Upset Tiger Hopes Chicago, Sept. 4. --The unpredict- able Chicago White Sox put the "Indian" sign on Detroit Tigers again yesterday.

It was Detroit's eighth straight loss to the White Sox. : Detroit, dropping a half-game behind the second-place New York Yankees, lost the services of Bar- ney McCosky, possibly for as long as a week. The star centre-fielder strained muscles in his side in the second inning trying for a diving catch of Taft Wright's double. He was replaced by Tuck Stainback. Veteran Catcher Leads Reds to Win Cincinnati, Sept. 4 --Forty-year- old Jimmy Wilson, sometime man- ager, coach and catcher and who has a son nearly ready for pro baseball, batted Cincinnati Reds to | a 4-3 victory over St. Louis yester- day to send them eight full games" ahead of idle Brooklyn in the Na-- tional League pennant race.

With Bruce Mahaffy pitching good ball, the playground champions showed some of their old skill, hold- ing the losers to four scratch hits.

Toronto, Sept. 4--A third team for the Ontario Rugby Football Union senior series was entered last night from No. 1 Canadian Infant- ry (Rifle) Training Centre, Cana- dian Active Service Force, Camp Borden, when Lieut, Alex Hayes and Lieut. Maurice Chilton met with Harold Bailey, secretary of the ORF.U. The soldier team's entry was accepted and Secretary Bailey an- nounced that, pending word from London, Ont, where a meeting Tuesday night was expected to bring a fourth entry and a second military team, a schedule meeting will be held within a week. Lieutenant Hayes, formerly star quarterback with many Sarnia Im- perial teams, will act as coach of the new entry, while Lieutenant Chilton, first vice-president of the O.R.F.U, will act as co-manager of the team with Lieutenant W. J. Balkwill. Enthusiastic approval of a team from No. 1 Training Centre, C.A. S.F., was given by Lieut.-Col. A. H. C. Campbell, who .also consented to act as president of the team. The slate of officers includes Lieutenant Tommy Shields, D.C.M. former Sports Editor of the Ottawa Citi- zen and well known football broad- caster and hockey coach, Shields wil be secretary-treasurer.

Club other than Imperials and Lieut. Hayes, ace quarterback of Imps for many years, added: "I certainly never thought I'd be with any other team in the O.RF.U." Preliminary investigation into football's possibilities at No. 1 Training Centre brought forth 400 rookies, aspiring to places in the club, Lieut. Hayes said. Among the players available for the new entry are Gus Guiltinon, former linesman with Balmy Beach; George Hun- gerford, who played with Sarnia- in 1937, and former American' col- lege players from University of Chi- cago and Louisiana State. Prac- tices will start immediately, it was learned. r ; J ¥ THISTLES, 20 TO 7 Orillia, Sept. 4--Orillia Terriers trimmed the tail-end Fergus This- tles, 20-7 here last night in the con- cluding game of the O.L.A. senior series schedule.
