N\ : THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE THURSDAY, OCTOBER .21, 1948 AT INTERCOLLEGIATE MEET | "PAGE TWENTY Geo. H. Campbell ' Final arrangements were completed late yesterday, via telephone, and the Sault Ste. Marie "Esquires" are now en route to Oshawa, via "%rain. They are expected here late tonight or early tomorrow morning and the first game of the all-Ontario Intermediate "A" softball cham- pionship firals, a two-out-of-three series, will be played tomorrow after- 'noon at 3:15 o'clock at Alexandra Park. The second game of the series is called for Alexandra Parkealso, on Saturday morning at 10:45 o'clock and if a third game is necessary, it will be played Saturday afternoon, at a local diamond to be named tomorrow. The Sault Ste. Marie "Marconi Esquires" have held the all-Ontario Intermediate "A" softball championship now for three full seasons. They won it on their own diamond in 1945, came down to Sarnia in '46 and successfully defended their crown against the Polymers. Last year, .they defeated Stratford Kroehlers in a series that went the full three games, up at "The S00. Tony Bergamin and his brother are their two ace hurlers, regarded as two of the best softball chuckers in Ontario. The strong Oshawa Pedlars team will face a real test in this all-Ontario championship series but local fans are confident that "Hootch" Meulemeester and his mates can de- throne the mighty Esquires. There should be a big crowd on hand _"~"™fomorrow afternoon to see this first game of the series. id / \ * * NM Oshawa Generals ran into a "hot club" last night at Stratford and Coach Leo Barbini made his debut before the Kroehler fans in ' fine style, as the Stratford Juniors came up with a splendid 6-0 3 triumph over the Generals. The Kroehlers were hot all down the line, with Pierre Cadieux and Dinny Flanagan setting the pace. Reports from the Oshawa contingent who made the trip, are that Cadieux was really flying and that the entire Stratford team kept pace with him and Flanagan. Oshawa couldn't beat "Boat" Hurley. for even one goal and we would point out that a 6-0 whitewash is something that may not prove unusual this season, for any team in the league. Windsor Spitfires defeated Guelph Bilitmores last night 6-1. With the teams closely. matched, there will . be many close games but every time a club runs into an off-night, it's apt to be a one-sided score. As pointed out, we think Windsor and Stratford are the pick of the loop, at the present time. However, back on the Oshawa Arena ice here Saturday night, we look for the Generals to hand the Kroehlers a defeat, despite that. 6-0 score of last night. + Ld * Eric Kofmel, a newcomer to track history, and a recent graduate of the OCVI wound up in second place in the 440-yard dash at the inter- collegiate track and field meet in Toronto's Varsity Stadium yesterday. Eric an "Earl Deacon original," having learned almost everything about the cinder-game in his last year at the local collegiate, made his debut wqunning under the U. of T. colors. He was nipped at the finish by "Geoff Taylor when the latter fell flat at the finish. The time was 53 ~seconds for the 440-yard middle distance go. Kofmel and Taylor were "quite a few lengths ahead of Gord Haight, running for McGill. Haight, --a well-known Hamilton runner won his specialty, the half-mile. Lots of *%redit is due Eric for his rapid emergence as a star in this trying field "pf athletics, where training is everything. a + Ld apg We took in the Mann Cup final game last night at Maple Leaf w= Gardens and saw Hamilton Tigers win the Canadian senior lacrosse ot championship with a richly-deserved 12-8 victory. They were trailing " 4-0 after the first period, due chiefly to three goals scored while Tigers were short two men, one for a five-minute major penalty. After that, the Hamilton veterans came back and slowly but surely whittled down the Adanac lead. The New Westminster team rallied desperately in the third period to make it 6-6 and held on for about five minutes, but finally Tigers pulled away with two goals and in the fourth period, the Hamilton club showed their superb passing skill and kept possession most of the time, cashing in on good scoring chances, to boost their total. A crowd of les than 8,000, we would estimate, witnessed this fifth and deciding game of the championship series in Canada's national game and for the umpteenth time, we'll repeat there's plenty wrong with the men who handle lacrosse when they do not publicize their playoffs any better than they do. That sports attraction last night, for skill, competition, price, importance, or any way you want to look at it, was a better bargain than hun- dreds of hockey games this season will prove--yet the fans "go for" their hockey in droves, at top prices, LJ * LJ SPORTS SHORTS--At 'latest reports, the Junior Red Raiders are to gp to Toronto Monday evening and take part in the first half of the home-and-home series for the right to represent Eastern Ontario in the Ontario (southern division) grid play-off against the st. cathar- ines team who will probably be the winners in the Niagara peninsula. . + .The Mercantile hockey loop, replete with four teams, is said. to be holding forth Thursday nights at the Arena, The Bantam section of the Oshawa Minor Association will also play their games at this Rigger fellows can get right down to work.

Western's five runners gained 23 points for third spot and a seven- man Queen's team trailed with 12. A crowd of about 1,000-mostly Varsity students -- cheered George Doull, 21-year-old Varsity star from Perth, Ont., as he sprinted to vic- tory in both the mile and three- mile runs. | VARSITY TRACKMEN TAKE POINT HONORS Good Distance Man Doull won the mile event handily in 4:36 over the cold, damp Varsity Stadium track -- his third win in that event in three years. Shortly after, the strong. little runner had to extend himself to take the leg- wearing three-mile run. Johnny Rhame took two other first places for Toronto, covering 21 feet, 8% inches in the broad jump and winning the 120-yard high hurdles in 234. McGill's Dave Blair set the only record at the meet, with a high jump of six feet and % of an inch, adding % of an inch to the mark set in 1935 by Alex Munroe of Var- sity.

"A" softball champions,' are on their way to Oshawa, to play Pedlars, for the 1948 All-Ontario crown. Final arrangements were com- pleted late last night and the "Es- quires" left "The Soo" this morn- ing. They are expected in Oshawa late tonight or early tomorrow morning, The first game is scheduled for Alexandra Park tomorrow (Friday) afternoon at 3.15 o'clock, with the second game of the two-out-of- three title series, to be played at Alexandra Park on Saturday morn- ing, at 1045 pm. If a third and deciding game is necessary, it will be played on Saturday afternoon, at a diamond to be announced in tomorrow's paper. Sault Ste. Marie Esquires cap- tured the All-Ontario champion- ship in 1945 over Stratford. In 1946 they came "south" and suc- cessfully defended the champion- ship, against Sarnia Polymers. Last year, Stratford Kroehlers again won the Southern title and they played in Sault Ste. Marie, losing out in the hectic series that went the full three games and was de- cided on a 3-2 game. Rated as one of the outstanding softball teams of all-time in Nor- thern Ontario, the "Soo" Esquires have long enjoyed an enviable rep- utation 'as champions. Aided by public subscription, they are com- ing to Oshawa to play Pedlars for the All-Ontario championship. Pedlars, having defeated Hamil- ton "Pee Gees" in their third and deciding game, last Saturday in To- ronto, will be ready for the mighty "Esquires" and will make an all- out bid to capture the All-Ontario title. "Hootch" Meulemeester will go to the mound tomorrow after- noon in the first game of this championship series and local sport fans who can get to Alexandra Park tomorrow afternoon, will see a real battle, between two of the best softball teams in Ontario.
