Oust Mimico in Semi-Finals Detroit Tigers Still Hold 1-Game Advantage Toronto C.P.E. and Pepsi-Colas Play Third Game Tonight at Stadium : Today's Sporting Features Derbys Nose Out Locals to Tie Up Series Oshawa Lions Lose 3rd Game to Acadians Buffalo to Be Toronto Leafs' "Farm Club" A NI All roads once again lead to the Motor City Stadium tonight! * Bb * It's Toronto C.P.E. vs. Pepsi- Colas, this evening at the local . Stadium diamond, five-thirty o'clock, in the third and decid- ing game of the Ontario semi- finals. LR There are only three clubs left in the running. Guelph defeated and eliminated Stratford Kroehlers, 1939 Ontario champions, with a 4-3 win right in Stratford last Thurs- day night. Guelph now awaits the winner of the Toronto-Oshawa series for the finals and the title series. A Sh This is only the second time in about ten years (Varcoes did it in 1938) that Oshawa has had an Intermediate softball team in the last three for Pro- vincial honors. There'll be a record-breaking attendance at the Stadium for this game to- night, providfag the sun keeps shining--and that's the way it looks now. + Nothing more need be said about tonight's game. Pepsi-Colas will be at full strength, with Billy Taylor and Verne McLaughlin back from military training and "Moose" Matthews also available since there is no baseball game this evening. CP. Expressmen will be here in full force too. Bus Benson, Alex Stan- ley and all the rest of the team are anxious to knock off the Osh- awa boys and it should be a rip- roaring softball battle. * + + As a last thought, Pepsi-Colas would Mke to win in order to prevent a complete sweep of Toronto eliminations. The To- ronto Juveniles ousted Oshawa . Liens in the 3rd game on Sat- wrday, and the Riverdales of Toronto eliminated Westmount Brones last Thursday night. Pepsi's are hoping that they are the big exception. * + + Incidentally, Westmount Broncs ean breathe a little easier now. They felt very badly, naturally, when they lost out to East River- dales of Toronto but we see that Windsor Juniors broke out late in the game to take a 15-5 decision right in Toronto, in the first game of the finals on Saturday. It looks as if Windsor should win the title long and expensive trip. * Oshawa Lions and Clark's Super- tests will play tonight at Bathe Park, in the third and deciding game of their Juvenile semi-final series. The winners will meet Pet Stock Terriers in the local Juven- ile finals. * + + Lions were beaten 8-6 on Saturday evening, in the third game with Toronto Acadians, for the Zone 3 Juvenile honors. Acadians pounded out four runs in the second inning and three more on a homer in the third frame, to build up a 7-1 lead and they managed to hang on, despite Oshawa's desperate ral- Hes in the 7th and a good at- tempt in the 9th. * 4 * Centre-fielder MacKenzie of Acadians, with a homer, double and two singles, practically defeated Lions single-handed but Simpson, of Young Rangers' hockey fame, did a nice job of hurling too. He fanned nine and kept Oshawa's 8 safe hits well-scattered Ted McLaughlin was guilty of putting too many in the groove in the 2nd and 3rd innings but after that, hurled a great game too. * 4 + . Lions lost the game because they couldn't come through with a hit when needed most-- many valuable runs being left on the bases, WHEN IN TORONTO VISIT THE St. Regis HOTEL Sherbourne St. at Carlton One Hundred Modern Rooms with private baths, showers and private telephones.

Detroit Tigers hold a one-game lead over the Cleveland Tribe. In- dians won yesterday to get back into the running so now it's a grandstand finish in Cleveland, at the end of the schidule. * Pb + Ottawa Roughriders defeated Balmy Beach in an ex. grid game on Saturday but failed to impress as having much power. * + * New hockey rules are such that Eddie Shore can play for only one club this season so he'll have to make up his mind. Buffalo will be the farm club of the Toronto Maple Leafs. *> + * Oshawa Seaiors went down to a heart-breaking 4-3 defeat on Saturday afternoon before the largest crowd to witness a ball game around these parts in the last three seasons. * + + It was a nip-and-tuck 2-2 battle until the fatal 9th inning and then a clean hit, a stolen base, wild pitch and another clean hit, scored a run and an untimely error meant another run. Matthews singled with two out in Oshawa's half and scored when Doc Rowden drove a hit into left and the ball got away from the fielder to allow Rowden to go to 3rd, but the tying run "died' there when the next batter grounded out on the first pitch. + + + It was an unusual game with Oshawa losing because Art Terry was too good for them. He limited the h ters to only 7 hits and kept them scattered. In addition, Oshawa didnt even try a single stolen- base play while the Derbys, on the other had, stole three times and twice it meant a run. Base-running and hitting at the plate are the two main factors in any clubs attacking strength and it was in these twe important departments that the Oshawa team fell down badly * 4 4 Another thing, Derbys hit Steam- er Lucas harder than at any time this year, getting nine hits and all of them of the "choked-up" variety An indication of their change in batting tactics is given in the fact that Oshawa's reliable outfielders had only one putout in the entire game and Moose Matthews had to run "miles" for a brilliant catch to get that one putout. Lefty Wallace had 16 pysouts at first, while there was an unassisted double-play by Yourth at 3rd. de + + Don't know when the fifth and deciding game will be. They expect to hold a meeting tonight in Toronto and it's our guess that the fifth game will now be played in Toronto. Still, Stratford and Niagara Falls were rained out on Saturday so perhaps they can now wait until this Saturday to settle the series, which might enable them to play it tn Oshawa. Windsor Jrs. Win First One Over Toronto Toronto, Sept. 23.--Bruce Mahaf- fey held Windsor hitless and run- less for six innings of the opening game in their O.A.8.A. junior final at Riverdale Park Saturday, but his infield hlew up with startling sud- denness as the Border City crew fashioned a 15-to-5 victory over East Riverdale Playground. Four infield errors and three hits gave Windsor four runs in the sev- enth to break a runless tie. The visitors added three more in the eighth, and completed the slaughter with eight runs in the ninth. East Riverdale was blanked for eight innings by Genga before scoring five useless runs in the ninth. Murphy collected three singles for Windsor, including their only ex- tra-base hlow, a double, Lynn with a triple and single, and Wilen with a double and single led the Toron- to team's attack. The teams play the second game of the finals in Windsor next Saturday. DINSMORE CALLED TO BAR Fredericton, Sept. 23 -- Edward A. (Dinny) Dinsmore, of Barker's Point, N.B.,, who hured Devon to a 3-2 victory over Liverpool Larrupers Friday in the second game of the Maritime baseball finals, was ad- mitted to the Bar of New Bruns- wick at g Supreme Court session Saturday. TRACK RECORD IS BROKEN Lindsay, Sept. 23.--Sulky raving at Lindsay Fair on Saturday sur- passed the two previous days, with Chestnut Bars, owned by .C. B. Lawrence, Durham, again breaking the old track record of 2:09 by trotting 2:08% in the first race. BRAMPTON SRS. OUST MIMICO IN SEMI-FINAL Toronto, Sept. 23 -- Mooney Gib- son, a veteran of the lacrosse wars, paid off for Brampton Excelsiors Friday night with a last-neriod goal that gave the Flower Town team a 6-5 win over Mimico and the, right to contest the Ontario Lacrosse As- sociation senior championship with St. Catharines Athletics. Gibson's tie-breaking and all-im- portant marker in a close, thrilling lacrosse battle before a crowd of 3,144 customers came at 9:12 of the final quarter, and Goaltender Ray Mortimore had no chance to save. It ended a great series and stamp- ed Brampton as the surprise team of the season. Fifth in the regular schedule, the Excelsiors gained a bye into the semi-finals with Mountaineers, Big rugged and fast, they came along surprisingly well in the late stages of the campaign, and were regard- ed as formidable opposition for any team, After losing the first of their semi-finals series with Mimico at home 11-9 in the last minute the doughty Bramptonites stepped into Mimico last Wednesday and wal- loped the homesters:11-3. They fin- ished their chore Friday night. There was little to choose between the teams over the sixty minutes, but it was perhaps the stout defen- sive chore of Goaltender Ted Hall that saved the day for Brampton. The winners' heavy body checking slowed down Mimico as it had in the previous games. Besides Hall, Bill Mullis and Jim Arthurs contributed much to the Excelsiors' victory. Tony Worsencroft, Norm Cassidy and Chuck Davidson came up with great efforts for the losing Mimico team. OTTAWA GRID SQUAD FAILS TO IMPRESS Ottawa, Sept. 23.--The East's best football team in 1939 is still the top team of 1940, if you want to be technical about Ottawa Roughrid- ers' 10-to-0. victory over Balmy Beach at Lansdowne Park here Sai- urday in the first test of strengta of the senior grid season, Ross Trimble's Crimson Tide ap- peared better in the light of that score than they actually did in com- bat, because {it was only a couple of mistakes by the young Toronto O.R.F.U. team that enabled the big Riders to mark up a converted touchdown, safety touch, and two single points. Beaches were forced to adhere in the main to a strictly defensive game, because Coach Alex Ponton hasn't had a complete squad with him long enough to map out much offense. They accomplished a good defense, which was forced at times to give ground from an occasional savage stab by Tony Golab, Bunny Wadsworth, Murray Griffin or Sammy Sward. But in the malin, their play was effective, chiefly be- cemise of some daring, hard line tackling by George Shields, Gord Downard and Bob Reid, or the smashing tertiary tackling of slen- der Jack Frizzelle and robust Bobby Porter. Beaches Gain Prestige Beaches didn't lose any prestige, rather they gained in this exhibi- tion against the Eastern Canada champions. A crowd of more than 3,500 cheered their pluck and dar- ing. They went home with two casualties, which will likely rob them of valuable playing strength for their tilt next Saturday against Argonauts in the city series. Jack Frizzelle was hurt when tackled by Rick Perley in the third quarter, and his leg was badly wrenched. He went to Toronto Western Hospital with Ross Giles, freshman snapback, who had his back muscles injured in a melee, SELKIRK'S HOMERS WIN FOR YANKEES New York, Sept. 23.--George Sel- kirk punched out two homers, his eighteenth and nineteenth, and a double to drive In four runs Sunday and help New York Yankees defeat Boston Red Sox 6-3. The game started out to he a mound duel between Boston's vet- eran Left Grove and the Yanks' youthful southpaw, Marius Russo, but turned out to be an easy victory for the Yankee pitcher, his four- teenth against seven defeats, The victory left the Yankees still with a slim mathematical chance for their -fifth straight American League pennant. Their season rec- ord now reads 82 won and 64 lost for a percentage of 562 Purchased by Red Sox . .

Minors Open Oct. 30 'Shore's status for the coming sea- son, which will open Oct. 30, was cleared up at a long meeting of the league directors, who decided to drop the "International" from the circuit's name because it is made up now entirely of American clubs. Shore, one of hockey's all-time greats with Boston Bruins for thir- teen years, purchased the Spring- field club of the American League last season. When Shore and the Boston officials fell out over his | desire to play at least part time | with the Indians he was traded tu the Americans { He played for both the Americas | and the Indians, some weeks tak- | ing the ice four or five times, firs! with the Americans, the next night with the Indians. Hereafter, the | league, decided, Shore will be sub- ject to the rule that a major league | player may be sent to a minor! league club and recalled three times. | He may be sent down a fourth time, but not recalled again . The rule also stipulates that a player coming down tu the Ameri- can League must stay with the club there at least two weeks, and may be recalled only in the event of a sérious injury to a player on the major league team. The approval of Maurice Podoloff, American League | president, also must be obtained be- fore a player can be recalled. Buffalo to Be "Farm Club" of Toronto Leafs New York, Sept. 23. -- President Maurice Podoloff of the newly=- named American Hockey League (formerly International-American League) said Sunday that negotia- tions are being concluded which will make Buffalo of the American a farm club for Toronto Maple Leafs of the National Hockey Lea- gue. Podoloff said the dispute between the Leafs and a Buffalo syndicate over the franchise at that city has been ironed out satisfactorily. The syndicate will have the franchise, and the Leafs probably will stock the club with their surplus material, WORLD'S PACING RECORD BROKEN Delaware, O. Sept. 23 -- William Cash, bay colt owned by L. C. Sprague of Minneapolis, Minn., bet- record for three-year-olds on a half- mile track in the Grand Circuit's closing program here Friday. Piloted by Walter Britenfield of Springfield, Il, William Cash turn- ed in a cumulative mark of 6:11% in the $2500 Allen Hotel Purse event to shave 3'4 seconds off the record set in 1937 by Dr. Gatton, bay gelding, driven by D. Miller. William Cash won the first and third heats in 2:03'4 and 2:03, re- spectively. Fearless Peter, guided by the veteran Hugh M (Doc.)

The Dodgers won th is one 8-2, EE --- OE AND NEWS ALONG T I Sailing of the final races in three series, yesterday, completed all scheduled racing series of tho season. Two races were needed in both the Kinloch Trophy ("C" Class) and Novice Series (Eagleson Trophy) before the season's racing could be finished. Lee Rolson, and his crew, Floyd Medland, won the Eldon Stacey Memorial Trophy yesterday when their points totalled 50, as against 57 piled up by Bruce Minns and his crew, Bert Salter, Rolson and Med- land teamed to win three trophies this year, the Commodore's Cruise cup, donated by Hon. G. D. Conant; the Glen Rae Trophy, donated by the Bowmanville Beach Association, | and the Stacey Memorial Trophy, donated by John Stacey. Gordon Lofthouse, and his crew, Howard Kane, won the Eagleson Trophy, emblematic of first-year crews' supremacy, with a total of 38 points, compared with 32 points, the total amassed by Adam Ham- ilton and his crew, Rae Magill, who were runners-up. While the Kinloch Trophy series, emblematic of "C" Class leadership, was completed yesterday, the win- ners have not as yet béen declared, as two protests, affecting the three top-ranking skippers, have not been decided. The committee in charge of | protests will, it is expected, give its decision this week. The three af- fected are Howard Kane, Tom Monaghan and Floyd Medland. The pending protests occurred in the fourth race of the series. Minns Wins Final Stacey Race Dogged gontinually by the cup- winner, Lee Rolson, Bruce Minns and his crew, Tom Monaghan yes- terday won the final race in the Stacey Memorial series. Earl Sharp, about to cross the starting line well to the fore in a leeward position was stalled when the rest of the fleet which was to windward gave him a blanket so effective that he sat on the line until the majority of the boats had passed him. Ralph Schofield, fighting for third posi- tion with Johnny Carter, lost out when he failed to establish buoy room. Schofield was forced to pass the buoy on the wrong side, come about, and pass the mark properly. This allowed Maurice Reed and Earl Sharpe to pass him, leaving Scho- field in last position, Yesterday's races were sailed in the best weather of the season, A moderate steady off-shore breeze sent the boats skimming over the slightly rippled lake. The courses were buoys to port once around, a reach on the first two legs and a beat to weather on the last leg to the finishing line. Boat Skipper Crew Time 5--B. Minns, T. Monaghan . 36:05 2--L.
