Campoell, Sports Editor Gf) -- Oshawa Peps!-Colas will learn the decision of the 0.A.S.A. this evening at the Royal Connaught Hotel, Hamilion, where a meet- ing of the O.A.S.A. sub-com- mittee is being held to decide just what's what concerning that last game here. L A ' Whether or not the sub-commfit- tee will decide in favor of one team or another or will instead order a xeplay, is hard to say. To order an- ther game with neutral umpires seems like the fairest thing to do, under the circumstances. L BE Oshawa Seniors didn't hold a workout last night because it was more like football weather. However, they'll be out this evening for a little exercise, in "preparation for their big game this Saturday afternoon, when they tangle with Parkdale Der- bys at Alexandra Park, 3:15 pm. (note change in time) in the 5th and final game of the T.B.A. finals, * + * Clark's Superiests and Pet Stock Terriers staged a neat battle last night at Bathe Park in the first game of the local Juvenile softball finals. Terriers won a 9-7 decision but it was close and the Supertests hope to even up the round, when they meet in the second game on Friday evening, up at Park Road South diamond, same time, 5:45 pm. * + @ At the Stadium last night, Palm Billiards surprised the Westmount Broncs by nosing them out in a close game. The win ties up the City Champion- ship semi-finals and so these two teams will meet again on Friday evening at the Stadium, to decide which team challenges Pepsi-Colas for the City title, and the Miller-Libby Trophy. > + & + Oshawa's midget lacrosse lads play up in Mimico this evening.

They had to come * Jrom behind three times to beat FER I sans ives Chicago in the first game and had to come from behind to cop the other tilt too. That just about cinches the American League pen- nant for the Bengals, although In- dians can make it by winning all three games at home, against Ti- gers. The Yankees can make it if they win all 'of their remaining six games and the Tigers and Indians split up, + + & It's a great league race and one of the keenest pennant competi- tions in years. It should serve to keep interest at fever pitch for the World Series in Cincinnati, as well as in the home of the AL. winners. BARRY WITHHOLDS DECISION Ottawa, Sept. 26.--Manager Jim- my McCaffery of Ottawa Senators of the Quebec Senior Hockey Lea- gue said last night Marty Barry of Montreal had' asked until today to consider the offer to coach the team this season. Barry, former National Hockey League star centre, also has an offer from Min- neapolis Millers of the American Association, and was to have given his decision to Ottawa officials last night. . PALM BILLIARD BOYS WIN OVER WESTH MOUNT A chilly game at Motor City Sta- dium last night saw Palm Billiard "Cues" eke out a narrow one run decision over Westmount Broncs, giving the Cues their first win of the series and tying the series score at a win, a tie and a loss each. The first team to register another win will earn the right to meet Pepsi-Colas in the City Senior Softball finals. Big "Hooch" Melemeester was the winning pitcher, and showed re- markable form in handcuffing the hard hitting Broncs, despite a rath- er prolonged layoff. Striking out seven of the first ten batters to face him, he held the broncs to seven scattered hits. Over the seven inning route, he struck out thirteen, and walked three. Opposing him on the mound, L. McConkey whiffed ten, walked two and allowed eleven hits, McCon- key's weakest inning was the 4th, when he eased up to allow four hits which, coupled with two costly errors, allowing the Billardmen to tally four runs, to take a 6-2 lead. Broncs Stage Rally The Broncs came back strongly in the fifth, when a walk, a double and a single secured them three runs to come within one run of the Billiardmen, who were held score- less in their half of the same in- ning. In the sixth, the Broncs got two runs on a similar number of hits to take a narrow one run lead. However, the Billiardmen secured three in their half and held off the Broncs for the remainder of the | game. Cameron and McLaughlin were the only Broncs to get more than one hit, with two each. Dove and Black, with two each, were the heaviest hitters for the winners. Jack Hurriey, outfielder for the winners, belted another of his tra- ditional homers in the sixth, with Sutton on the bags. The next game of the series will be played at Motor City Stadium at 5:30 on Friday evening. ST. KITTS AGAIN WIN O.LA. CROWN Brampton, Sept. 26.--Brampton Excelsiors, surprise team of the O.L. A. senior season, almost squared their championship round with St. Catharines Athletics here last night but the A's steadied away in the last quarter to save a 9-8 victory and take a 2-0 lead in the best-of- seven series. St. Catharines were, apart from the first quarter when the teams left the floor, deadlocked at 1-1, al- ways one goal ahead and, strive as they did, Excelsiors couldn't close that gap. Cheered by a crowd of 3,000 fans who braved the cold night to witness the battle, Excelsiors brought the count to 9-8 after six minutes of the last quarter, but were unable to produce the tying marker. It was a rugged, hard checking battle and neither team enjoyed any great advantage. Stout defen- sive efforts by the rival goaltenders, Whittaker and Hall, kept the scor- ing confined. Major penalties were imposed on Jim Mullis of the home- sters and Joe Cheevers of Athletics for a third-quarter scrap, but apart from that nothing serious devel- oped. Third game of the championship round will be played in St. Cathar- ines on Friday night. The fans con- tributed a total of $99.88 to the local branch of the Red Cross.

He went the full distance in the second contest for his twenty-first victory, more victories than he has ever be- fore scored in his long and colorful major-league career. The Tigers, who conclude their season with the Indians in single games at Cleveland Friday, Satur- day and Sunday, need win only one of them to beat out the Tribes- men. . Today's battles, played in chilling weather before 21,566 fans, were contrasting affairs. In the opener free hitting and loose fielding was the order, with the White Sox staging a six-run up- rising in the fifth inning that put the Tigers in desperate circum- stances. : The Sox outhit Detroit 17-16 and each team committed three mis- Bowling News from the Local Greens (By Jack High) On Monday night on the local greens an Irish Trebles tourney was played for the Eaton trophy.

The Tigers used four pitchers-- Tommy Bridges, Alton Benton, Paul Trout, and Newsom--before achiev- ing victory. Newsom pitched the last two innings, blanking the Sox. The second game was a pitching masterpiece between Johnny Rigney and Newsom, with the Tigers trail- ing until the seventh inning, when Hank Greenberg's forty-first homer of the year tied the score at 2 all In the eighth York again batted home the deciding run with a long fly to centre, again sending Mc- Cosky across the plate.
