Now these two smart Juvenile teams will battle it out for the title, tomorrow after- noon at the Stadium. It will be a game worth secing and with noth- ing else on in the city, a big crowd should be on hand. Admission, a dime. + There's a lacrosse game carded for the Motor City Sta- dium tonight, at 6:15 o'clock, when St. Gregory's and Young Oshowas are slated to clash in the Midget division, All other midget leasue players in the city lacrosse leagues are asked io also be on hand at the Sta- dium, to hear a special an- 'Rewntement. * Pp Speaking of lacrosse. we see that the Ontario Junior All-Stars won the last three games to' tilts, In Burrards whipped Cornwall handily.

LAR J 2 In the World Series game yes.erday, after getting away to a bad start of two walks and two runs in the first inning, Bucky Walters tightened up to hold the Detroit Tigers in check and his mates went to work on Schoolboy Rowe to win a ver- dict. Now the Reds are back in the hunt again and it's any- body's series. If Cincinnati can win just one game in Detroit, they are sure of at least ending the series on their own diamond--win or lose.

Sobbing, the big hurler attended simple funeral services at a Cincin- nati mortuary fo rhis father, Henry Quillan Buffkin Newsom, who died in his hotel room early yesterday. An attending physician said the 68-year-old retired farmer was a victim of a heurt illness. for the second game of the finals. "Peg" Hurst, peppery manager and centre-fielder of the club, will. not likely make the trip tomorrow as his mother is very seriously ill.

The Pepsi's have their back to the wall tomorrow--and in just about as tough a spot as any team could be in. * +' Guelph Lelands, who won here last night, 2-1, haven't been beaten in O.AS.A. playoffs this year and tomorrow, with the Ontario O.A Intermediate "A" ship within their grasp, they'll be playing on their own diamond. It's a tough spot for the Pepsi's to be in. They have to win right on the other fellow's diamond--and they haven't heen beaten this year However, the Pepsi's are noted for going best when on the spot and maybe they can just do (it, in Guelph tomorrow. > » Lelands proved to be every bit as good as predicted. They have a brilliant fielding team, especially strong defensively. They played errorless ball. last night and had three double- plays. Pepsi's also played error- less ball and each team had eight hits apiece. Both Merk- ley and Whiteley hurled bril- lianily. Whiteley, with eleven strikeouts, deserved a better fate but his mates didn't do as well at the plate as he did, * + Merkley is just about the most Copie, ace ler + deceiving pitcher the Pepsi's have faced this year. He is far from fast, but his control is good and his tricky drop is quite the best witnessed around these parts in many g day. His manner of quick delivery also had the Pepsi's both- ered too. Pepsi's lost several glori- | ous scoring chances when poten- tial runs were nipped at the plate in the second inning and again in more hit would have meant a run. * + » However, it just wasn't Osha. wa's night. Nothing tried seem- ed to work out right and the Lelands, on the other hand, were clicking all down the line, They are a smart fielding team and also dangerous at the bat but the Pepsi-Colas, while they realize it will be tough to win in Guelph, confidently claim there'll be a third game before the 1940 title is decided. TWO STRAIGHT FOR NEWARK Louisville, Oct. 4--Big Ed Levy, the 6-foot 5-inch Newark firgt- baseman, stretched a triple into a home run in the seventh inning last night to give the Bears, national League playoff champions, a, 3-2 victory over Louisville of the American Association and a two- game lead in the little world series. Levy's game-winning blow, a drive down the first base line deep into right field, broke up a tight pitching duel between George Bar- ley, Newark starter, and the veter- an Jim Weaver, ODDS-ON CHOICE WINNER Chicago, Qct. 4--E.

Bowling News from the Local Greens (By Jack High) The beautiful weather which we are having at present is being fully | enjoyed by Lawn Bowlers all over | South Ontario, and quite a number | of our local bowlers are getting out | and participating in the many tour- | naments which are being held in | surrounding district. On Wednesday afternoon 'three | {of the Oshawa bowlers set out for Unionville to play in an Irish | Trebles tourney which was being held there. Now at this time of year no one could wish for a better ride in the country than that which these three bowlers had on the way out, and I, the writer of these notes being one of the three, enjoyed it immensely.

There was also a Scotch Doubles tournament played at Whitby on Wednesday afternoon and two of Oshawa pairs got in the prize llst. It seems to be getting near the time for duck and chicken suppers for these were the .prizes the locals brought home from Whitby. Ben ward and Harry Stacey with 3 wins and C. Detenbeck and H.
