\ 40 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE, Saturday, September 5, 1858 OSHAWA BEAGLE IS INT. CHAMP "Middle-Stone Skipper' shown above, a 13-inch beagle owned by Dr. Wes. J. Langmaid of this city, has brought honor and dis- tinction to himself and the "Mid- dle - Stone" kennels, by winning the rating of American Field Champion. Already a Canadian Field champion, Middle - Stone Skipper, is the son of two In- ternational Field Champions, something unique in beagle his- tory. He is out of Lehigh Maizie and by Pleasant Run Dipolmat, both of wham earned Interna- tional Championship honors in their time. Last week Middle- Stone Skipper completed his | American Field Championship | record at the big field trials held at Gary, Indiana, coming first in a field of 45 top American bea- gles. Two weeks previously, he placed second in a class of 111, including 13 American Field champions, at Forest, Ontario. Born and raised, and' also train- ed at the Middle-Stone kennels of Dr. W. J. Langmaid, Middle- Stone Skipper has established a unique record in beagle history. In his Ontario field trial meets, he is handled by William Wad- dington, Jr., of this city. --Photo -- Contributed. - SPORTS MENU "Everything from Soup to Nuts" by Geo. H. Campbell SPORTS EDITOR The last big weekend of the summer sports season -- unless you insist on calling the Thanks- giving weekend a "summer" date, gets under way today and Oshawa sport fans have plenty of variety from which to make their selec- tion. The big event locally today of course is the ORFU rugby opener at Kinsmen Civic Memorial Sta- dium this afternoon, with Peter- borough Orfuns meeting Oshawa Red Raiders. By the time you read this, the game will be under way or all over, but one thing is cer- tain, it looks like a big event for the grid fans and a big season for the Raiders. Tonight, at the Stadium, Mec- Callum Transporters take on Midland Indians in the first round of their OBA Intermediate "A" playdowns. Nothing much is known of the North Simcoe Coun- ty champions but they play a lot of good ball up around that way and they should give the Trans- porters an interesting time of it in the opener here this evening. Transporters go back to Midland for the second game of the se- ries, on Monday. ries, on Monday. Then we have the weekly stock car racing attraction, at Oshawa Raceways tonight. According to the advertising, Mort Pettit, local stock car driver, is going to roll his car, one of those daring, delib- erate spills that seem to have such an appeal for these demon drivers. All the crack drivers will be on hand for the big events tonight and the stock car fans are assur- ed, of another, if you'll pardon the expression, bang-up night of ex- citement and entertainment. They reached a new high in crack-ups when nine cars were put out of ac- tion in one big pile-up, last Satur- day night. And speaking of racing, there's the Canadian bicycle champion ships at Alexandra Park, this afternoon and again on Monday afternoon. Oshawa Victor Cycle club has made Labor Day an an- nual bike-racing day at Alexan- dra Park but this is the first time they've tackled the Cana- dian championships. They help- ed a Toronto group put on the Dominion title races in 1951 and other years the, Oshawa Vie- tor Club has put on the Ontario championships. They have so many entries for the Canadian championship e vents this year that 'some of the titles will be decided today and the rest on Monday afternoon. The bike rid- ers always give a fine account of themselves and no doubt this event will be patronized on the holiday afternoon, There's a lot of OASA playoff action around t hese parts today also. Up at Radio Park this after- noon, Belleville Pee Wees visit the Oshawa Radio Park lads for their second game. Belleville won the |first one at home so Radio Park has to win this afternoon -- or else. At Whitby tonight, under the lights, Hamilton Beach opens the Ontario Juvenile "B" ship series against Whitby L'il Stokers. Up at Brooklin, Brougham plays South Leeds tonight in the second game of Inter. '"D" play- offs and a win for Brougham gives them the Eastern Ontario zone honors. Brooklin's Inter. "'C" team travels down to Manotick for a game against South Carleton, to- night, first of that series, also zone finals. Tuesday night finds the wrest- lers in action again at Oshawa Arena and they'll have the big- gest crowd of the season on hand. The mat cards this year have drawn the biggest wrest- ling crowds in local history but Tuesday night will likely see a , new record set. Promoter Pat Milosh has arranged to bring the midgets back. Over 3,000 watch- ed them perform last Tuesday night and went home raving about the little guys. They cer- tainly put on a lively brand of entertainment, crammed full of action all the way and with bar- els of pep and ginger. This time the bout will be a 45-minute af- | fair instead of the usual half- hour which means the fans are going to get more for their mon- ey. They'll get plenty besides the team bout between the midgets too. The preliminary bout bring together Pat FI and a newcomer, Al Warshaski, while the main bout of the evening finds Timothy Geohagen clash- ing with Lord Athol Layton. BRIGHT BITS -- We haven't heard that it was cancelled and according to our schedule records, today's the day the Oshawa crick- et team plays St. Edmunds, at Lakeview Park, in the game that means the championship of the Godin League.

Rundle Park Midgets had head- ed the B'Nai B'Rith League for the entire season but they were no match for the Sunnyside Park boys when the payoff round rolled around. In retaining the title they cap- tured last season for the first time, Sunnyside Park Midgets came up with a sparkling brand of defensive ball in last night's crucial game, having only one bad inning. Brady singled in the third inning with one out and Williams hit a homer, to give Rundle Park their first two runs. They didn't score again off Rom- bough's good pitching, until the sixth inning, when Rombough weakened and so did his mates: Rundle Park lads combined a walk, six hits and a couple of errors for a total of nine runs, George's homer midway through the rally being the big blow. In the 7th, Rundle Park went down in 1, 2 3 order. Sunnyside Park took full advan- tage of Boyce's wildness at the start and three walks plus an error and a double by Edmondson and Tureski's single, gave them five runs in the opening frame. They added two in the second when Fielder doubled and three hits, a pair of errors and three walks gave them seven more runs in the third inning, for a 14-0 lead at the time. The winners added one in the fifth, another in the sixth and then combined a single and two doubles for a pair of runs in the 7th, to conclude their 18-run total. Fielder and Williams were the big hitters for their respective teams but superior pitching and fielding were the two chief fac- tors in Sunnyside Park's triumph. Sunnyside Park will now repre- sent Oshawa Minor Softball Asso- ciation in the OASA Midget play- downs, starting on or about Sept. 16.

They will play again this Saturday morn- ing, to declare a winner to move into the second round, against Rundle Park Bantams. On Wednesday night they play- were leading when the game was called. Last night it was Wood- view Park lads who had the edge when the umpires decided it was too dark to continue. These two good little teams have had a great playoff series, each having won a game on the other team's diamond and 'then failed twice to complete their third game. The decision to settle the series in a full regulation 7-inning game is an example of sportsmanship that should be followed by all man- agers' and coaches of minor-age teams. Rundle.
