Actually, the Legion were not as much better hay Jack McConkey was in good pitching form while neither or Woods of the White Bagle pitching staff, are ready to show their best pitches. In the field, the recently organized White Eagle team made & lot of costly errors and loose play, all directly due to lack of practice. Give them another couple of weeks and White Eagles will be making all opposition sit up and take notice. In the Inter. "A" loop, U.AW.A. and Whitby swing into 'action at Alexandra Park this evening and tomorrow , Whitby comes Here again, to play the White Eagles. Tonight's game is actually Whitby's "home game," being played here because their own diamond is not available.

They fully earned their victory last night and earned the praise of the fans with a sparkling display of defensive softball. Brilliant infield plays, some fine running catches in the outfield and alert throws ahead of the runner to nip daring base-runners, all served to hold the desperate Bowles Lunch team in check. Coming right after Bowles' 3-0 victory over Peoples, the Lunchers 'took it a little hard too but the Oshawa boys were full of ginger and pep last' night and never quit bearing down, right from the start. op McLaughlin's classy mound display " was the big factor in Oshawa's victory. It was his first start of the year and with his drop workinglto perfection, he had the slugging Bowles team handcuffed. At the plate, the Colts collected their share of hits too and what's more important, they made them count for runs. Keeler's slashing homer and Nelson's triple with two on bases, were the big blows. McLaughlin and Little each drove in a run with a timely blow. Sammy Shefsky's Tip Top Tailors play here in Oshawa this Saturday afternoon and GM-Colts, after winning their first one last night, will be out to get their second triumph and will likely have to beat "Russ" Johnson or "Abner" Grant to do it. The other Beaches League game was a 5-3 score also last night, Junior 'Wright and Peoples defeating Cam "Ecclestone and Tip Tops, in the first half of the evening's doubleheader, ? * + $ Oshawa "Hunters" defeated B'Nal B'Rith last night 6-2 at Alex- andra Park in a Lakeshore Junior Baseball League scheduled fixture and you can bet that one was an upset. The BWai B'Rith boys got a rude jolt when young "Ding" Gavas, just up from Juvenile ranks, handcuffed them with a 2-hit pitching performance, and one of those was a scratchy bunt that was fielded but nobody covered 1st base. The "Hunters" broke out with one big rally to win the game and that win puts them right up with the leaders in the Lakeshore League race, with one win and a tie to their credit and a a lot of confidence now to start their away games. * Ld "* The victory of the Oshawa Lacrosse Club up in Weston last night was a worth while effort. Playing two nights in succession is a tough job in lacrosse. The Oshawa boys were tired but perhaps their lack of energy resulted in less running and so produced a better closer checking technique. At any rate, goals were very scarce, only 10 in the entire game with the locals always in command, thanks to Chambers holding the fort in a scoreless second period, when Weston stormed Oshawa nets for fifteen minutes but couldn't score. After that, the Osh team finished stronger and won "going away."

In the first game of the ngiht, Peoples defeated Tip Tops by the same score, 5-3, to stay out in first place in the Beaches League race. Oshawa's victory over Bowles prevented them from taking over second place. Brilliant Hurling Dual Last night's game was a sensa- tional pitcher's battle between "Bus" Benson of Bowles and Dean Mc- Laughlin of Oshawa. The Colts' hurler, making his first start of the season a winning one, had his "stuff" working in stellar fashion and gave up only seven hits in the entire distance, while fanning eight batters.' Benson "slow-balled" the Colts to death in the early stages, chalked up 13 strikeouts and also lallowed seven hits. It was a nip-and-tuck scoreless battle until the fifth inning, with neither team letting up. Both rival infields pulled off some sparkling plays. In the last half of the fifth frame, Graham got on base through a bobble and when advancing from second to third on an infield out, he was hit by the throw to third and the ball bounced into the crowd, allowing him'to score the opening run of the game. Wes. Keller homered in the sixth inning, a vicious line-drive smash that went right out of the park. In the seventh, Colts moved in front when Kitchen beat out a juggled in- field grounder, moved to second on a wild pitch and scored when Dean McLaughlin slashed a two-bagger down the left-field line, Runs Come Faster In their half of the seventh, Bowles took the lead again, on a two-run rally, scored with three clean hits to centre-field, the only inning in which they really did much with McLaughlin's pitching. Apps doubled to centre and Burtch singled, scoring Apps. Graham popped out' but Emrie singled to centre, scoring Burtch., With two Jout, Krol was walked and Evans popped out to end the inning. GM-Colts staged their big rally in the eighth. Barker doubled With one out and was nipped going to third when Young grounded to the shortstop. Keeler beat out an in- son tripled to deep right field, where the inning before he had almost drove a homer but which Emrie caught. Young and Keeler sprinted home on Nelson's drive and then "Dib" Little slashed a single through the infield to score Nelson, making it 5-3. Johnny Kitchen at third and "Wart" Barker at first base, both turned in sparkling games while both Keeler and Magee handled their new positions in steady fa- shion. Young's throw to third to nip a runier early in the game, was a gem and Barnes duplicated to sec- ond in the ninth to halt a Bowles' rally, Score by Innings: R.H.E.

Trouble Brewing "Hoist the storm warnings," folks, is the call of Don (Trail Times) Fleming. He said the annual meeting of the Western International Hockey League in Nelson last week touched off some fireworks over control of certain members of the Loop's mow defunct Los es Ramblers. Bobby Morin of the Spokane Si claimed that he gained player ts to several of the boys, and was promptly greeted wtih a chorus of "whats" from officials of the other clubs in the League, Documents were waved around by Morin, who claimed ; that W. A. Hewitt, Registrar of the C.AHA., had approved transfer \of several players to his club. Fleming feels that ore the situation is settled it all the makings of a battle Toyal, with Spokane, Kimberley and Trail, the players' former clubs, the C.AH.A., the AHA. of the US. and the LLH.A. all involved, His advice to the players con- cerned is to "sit things out for a while in a quiet corner. They ap- parently have nothing to say about Shortage o Ammunition At Gun Club Due to an unexpected shortage of ammunition, the trapshooters were forced to supply their own shells on Tuesday evening, Shot sizes ranging from two's to nine's were used, Some shooters even claimed they. were using shells without shot, As a result the scores were somewhat lower this week, Len Van Volkenberg is starting to find them again; we're not sure whether its Bob Ross' coaching or the new glasses. Garnet Knight led the parade with a nice eighteen. The rest of the scores were as follows: Marv, Linton 17 x 25; Geo, Brown 16 x 25; Chas.

LEGIONNAIRES WHIP EAGLES IN FIRST TILT Canadian Legion Branch 43 open- ed the Oshawa 1947 Inter. "A" soft- ball season with a clean-cut 19-4 victory over White Eagles, last night at Alexandra Park, in the opening game of the year. It was a typical opening game, with the numerous errors of the Eagles' team indicating clearly that not .only has the persistent rainy season prevented the teams from getting into shape but also that the Eagles, in particular, who really only got organized at the first of this week, need a few workouts before they'll be ready to really show their true form. Clapp started on'the mound for Eagles and he didn't have it. He walked three of the first four bat- ters to face him.and the other got on base on an error. Bidgood fan- ned but Wilson clipped a triple, then Vann did the same and Turn- er's hit with two out, completed the seven-run splurge > the rss I ning and practically en e game before it had really started. From that point on, it was merely a question of how many. Neither Clapp nor Woods, who took over the hurling duties later, was able to stop the Legionnaires and their support was woefully weak. Errors in the infield were numerous and many an outfield drive dropped for a safe hit, which a few weeks from now, will be gathered in without trouble. Dawson, in left and Bru- dek, at short, were the fielding stars for Eagles. Eagles clipped McConkey for two hits and three runs in the third in- ning. Logeman's double and Daw- son's single doing the trick. They had got their first run in the open- ing frame on a walk, sacrifice, a passed ball and an outfield catch. Ken Brisbois with three hits, was the big batter of the night. Turner, Seneco and Wilson each had two hits for the winners. None of the Eagles had more than one safe blow.

ONTARIO LADIES' GOLF FINAL IS ALL-TORONTO DO Ancaster, Ont., June 5-- (CP) --Toronto was assured of the On- tario ladies golf championship once more as four Queen City women---survivors of the original 16 in the championship flight-- entered the 18-hole semi-finals at the Hamilton Golf and Country Club today. They are defending champion Ada Mackenzie of the Toronto Ladies Club, who meets Mrs. J. Seawright of the Scarboro Club in one semi-final, and Mrs. M. H, Currer of the Summit layout who matches shots with Mrs. J. Han- na of St. George's Club in the other half. All four came through with deciding victories yesterday. Miss Mackenzie won from qualifying round medallist Mrs. Cecil Good- erham of Toronto, 5 and 3. Mrs. Seawright beat Cobourg's Mrs. Lionel Ross, 3 and 1 as Mrs. Hanna eliminated another Tor- onto contender, Mrs. J. A. Me- Dougald, 3 and 2, Hamilton's fi- nal tournament hope, Miss D. Mcllwraith, bowed to Mrs, Currer 4 and 3. Miss Mackenzie is still in the battle despite her inability to flash the championship form she showed while winning the crown last year. Spraying her shots to both sides of the fairways, she was 11 over par with a 48 and all-square with Mrs. Gooderham at the end of nine holes. On the second nine, however, she changed her stance. That was all she needed to toss four pars and 'a bogey at Mrs. Gooderham to win four of the first five holes on the homeward trek. Miss Mackenzie ended the match on the 15th green. Mrs. Seawright was only one up on Mrs, Ross at the end of the outgoing nine, but began to shoot par golf on the second nine to wind up the match on the 16th green. feat of the season 6-0.

League fixture, last night at Alexandra Park. Gavas gave up only two hits in the entire distance, one, a bunt in the fourth inning, by Dell, which was fielded but everybody forgot about covering first base. In the fifth frame, Bird smacked a clean single to centre. Those were the only two hits the B"Nai B'Rith could get off Gavas, due not only to his fine control and good pitching but also to the support he received from his infield. Cook made a sensational shoe- string running catch in right field after a long run, to rob Patte of a sure hit, in the fifth inning, Two Unearned Runs B'Nai B'Rith got their two runs, one at a time. In the third frame, Bird was safe on an error, stole second and third and scored on a wild pitch that bounced right over the screen. In the seventh inning, with the score 6-1, B'Nai B'Rith' put on a belated spurt. Morrison got a life when Stovin missed the third strike pitch, for an error and Morrison thems moved to second when Czerewaty was safe on an er ror by Thompson.

Simpson went along in fine style, holding the Hunters in check com- pletely after that and it was a 'swell 1-1 battle until the Hunters staged their big rally in the fifth inning. They scored four runs on five hits and two errors in this frame, as they shelled Simpson from the mound. Wallace and Batten both to score. Murphy walked to make it tougher. Souch popped out and Thompson singled. Baxter grounded placed Simpson on the mound and Stovin promptly singled to centre, scoring two of his mates to com- plete the rally.
