NAPSHOTS convict Oshawa GM-Colts clash with Bowles A.C. at Alexandra Park this afternoon in a crucial Beaches Major Fastball League fixture, in which third place in the final standing is practically at stake. Should Bowles A.C. whip the Motor City fastballers this afternoon, they'll have nine wins and will have third place about cinched. On the other hand, GM-Colts now have seven wins and can / make it eight, .the same as Bowles, winning this game today. It should be a swellegant softball tussle. Wednesday night, Colts play 30th Battery Bombers, at Kew Gardens, in their last meeting of the schedule, which is rapidly drawing to a close, thanks to the good weather that has prevailed the last three months. 2 5 » . If you want to see a bang-up baseball battle, take in the game at Alexandra Park this afternoon, when Cobourg Kiwanis visits Oshawa "Hunters" for a schedule tilt, in Lakeshore Junior Baseball League. Cobourg whipped the "Hunters" last Saturday and the "Hunters" ate out for revenge this evening, especially after drop- ping that hard luck 1-0 decision to B'Nal B'rith on Wednesday night here. Whitby's win over Bowmanville put B"Nai B'rith out in front in this Lakeshore League Junior ball race but the classy Bowmanville boys will be heard from when playoff time rolls around. Hunters have got to win tonight's game if they hope to beat out Cobourg Kiwanis for third spot--the coveted playoff berth, since - B'Nal B'rith and Bowmanville have the first and second spots practically sewn up tight. That's just another reason why this game here tonight is bound to be a very keenly contested diamond battle and worthy of an attendance of Oshawa ball fans, ® © % 9 Oshawa B'Nai B'rith plays a doubleheader down in Bowmanville today--and first place may be decided in this twin-bill, especially if one team manages to win both games. On Wednesday night, Whitby visits B'Nai B'rith. Port Hope is playing two games in Whitby this afternoon and we look for the County Town boys to win both contests and so improve their standing in the race. Thursday night's rain washed out the local O.M.B.A. Juvenile game but on Tuesday night, Rexalls and Victors will clash at the park in a scheduled tilt. Victors will have their full team, players being back from camp, and they may upset the pace- setting Rexall team. $ % ¥ » The good weather has made golfers ha; and up at the Oshawa Golf Club they have already settled two mid-summer trophy tourna ments in the ladies' -section. Miss Nellie McLaughlin won the Felt Trophy, defeatihg Mrs. E. F, Armstrong in the final and last week- end, Innis Pipher defeated Jessie Coulthurst in the final match for the Mrs, R. S, McLaughlin Trophy. Oshawa Golf Club members visit Kawartha Club, Peterboro, a week from today for their inter club annual match and the following week Port Hope comes here. There are other inter-club matches scheduled for the middle three Saturdays in August. g LJ LJ +> LJ The local Intermediate "A" softball race is developing into a grand old tussle. Thursday night's game between White Eagles and Mayfair Lanes was rained out. Last night, Legionnaires booted the ball around in their infield to give Robson Leather Tannery a 4-1 decision, despite the fact "Taffy" Mayne shaded Jack McConkey in their pitching duel. The win just about cinches first place for "Tannery". On Monday night, an all-important game is booked for Alexandra Park, with U.A.W.A. meeting Polish Whité Eagles. Another win for White Eagles, especially over U.AW.A, will cinch 4th place for them practically and put UAW.A. out of the running--unless they could come back and lick Robson Leather, which is hardly likely. This all means that the Union boys will be going all out for a victory over White Eagles oa Monday night and Eagles, on the other hand, will be just as anxious to (Continued on Page 13) 3 ALL WEEK-END!

Each car has a team of two--the Chauffeur, and the Mechanic (or Pusher) Chief of Police Friend has given his hearty support and co- operation; laying out an excellent course which will definitely test the speed and skill of all contestants. It is 880 yards, with tie start at 225 Mary Street. The route is--pros ceed Enst down Alice Street; tum North on to Jarvis; then West on Rosedale; South on Leslie; then West on Wood Street for the Home- Stretch, to finish at 269 Mary Street, Cor. of Wood St. Races will be run in heats of five, with the times being carefully recorded, At the conclusion of the final heat in the races, prizes will be presented. Then J. L. Beaton, Chairman of The Board of Education, has prom- ised to treat every contestant.

Every automobile must carry its name, prominently displayed; also the number, issued when the application is made with H, Lincoln Brace, supervisor of Public Playgrounds. Oshawa Legion Wins 4-1 Score Over Whitby Nine In an Inter-Branch Canadian Legion League softball fixture last night, Oshawa Branch 43 defeated Whitby Legionnaires 4-1, in a very well-played game, Good pitching was the order of the night, with Wilson of Oshawa limiting Whitby to three hits and one lone run, that was scored in the first inning, when Allen opened with a single, Phillips was safe on an error by Jackson. Dafoe popped out but Pearse singled to score Al- len. Whitby didn't score again, al- though they threatened dangerous- ly in the 7th frame. Oshawa Legion had no walkaway either against McLean's steady pitching but they made their hits count. McIntyre singled to open the 1st inning for Oshawa and Brown pushed hin around, then Lott singled to score McIntyre. In the second inning, Hobbs rand Wilson both drew walks and then McIntyre doubed and Brown singled, to score two more and make it 3-1, Oshawa's other run came in the 4th when Mcintyre tripled to open and scored on an infield out. Lyle McIntyre with a single, double and triple, was easily the big hitter of the night and paced the Oshawa team. Lott had two hits. For Whitby, their three safe hits were divided evenly by Allen, Pearse and Thorndike. WHITBY ;- Allen, cf; Phillips, ss; Dafoe, c; Pearse, 3b; R.

Fans became so disgusted with some of the players who performed during the war that they are in- clined to assume that such fill-in material never will-return to the big leagues. But some of the fill- ins probably will. They did after the first world war, In 1919 the Detroit Tigers, who owned Edmond (Bing) Miller, re- leased him to Atlanta. A couple of years later Bing hit the majors again in the uniform of the Wash- ington Senators, and made good with a vengeance. Old Jasques Fournier was sent to the minors in 1919, having been brought up the year before by the Yankees, But he subsequently re- turned to the big time, stayed seven Jean, and did right well during em. The advice sports fans yell to the athletes they watch is usually ignored by the athletes. The fan who yells, "Walk him!" to the pitcher, or "Look out Yor his left!" to a boxer is wasting his breath, unless he is attempting to advise an inexperienced athlete. The boys who have been big-time Ted, Hank Bid for Homer Title TED WILLIAMS . By WALTER L. JOHNS Central Press Sports Editor Atomic bombing on' the baseball front |is still a figment of the imagination of the future, but there is blasting going on in the big leagues in this atomic-experiment era. The explosion boys, using sticks even though they are not dynamite- fused, are the home run hot-shots, Theodore (Ted) Willams and Henry (Hank) Greenberg. The two are running each other a merry home run race, with the 19-year-old record of the mighty Babe Ruth the target for each afternoon. Williams, the defending cham- pion, and Greenberg, who has won the home run title three times, were all knotted after their meeting in Detroit on the Red Sox western invasion. Each had propelled 19 home runs into the stands and over the fences by June 26, which was behind the pace set by the Sultan of Swat when he was busting HANK GREENBERG fences in 1927, the year of the 60 home runs, . When Ruth set his record pace, he had 26 four-base blows by July 4. With a spurt, either Williams or Greenberg or both could natch that mark, but it'll take a few extra swats. And less walks, Because of his power and his ability to break up ball games, Wil- liams has been passed, many of them - intentional, 71 times in 63 games. That takes away a lot of chances for the willowy walloper to get his bat against the ball, and as a result, knock out home runs. Greenberg, also, has been walked many timesy=and likewise gets fewer chances at smacking 'em. Of course it was the same 'when Ruth was in the league, for the Bambino was walked many times. Ruth was walked 170 times in 152 games in 1923 for the all-time re- cord, and in a lifetime in the lea- gues drew 2,056 passes. When Ruth cracked 60 homers he had his best hitting bee in Sep- tember, getting 17 that month. It's to be assumed that Williams, generally considered the best hitter in baseball, will improve his p--e as he goes into the hot summer months and gets back into his home orchard. Whether either can catch Ruth appears to be a long-shot bet right now, but nevertheless some base- ball observers figure each has a good chance, Two Others Figure Greenberg has hit 262 homers prior to this season, winning the crown in 1935, '38 and again in 1940, His mark of 58 in 1938 was only two shy of Ruth's record. _ Williams, with 127 homers to his credit, in his short major league career, has never done better than 37, the total he compiled in 1941. He came right back in 1942 with 36 and hasn't played since that year, Once, in the minors, he hit 43 round-trippers. Joe DiMaggio and Charley Keller of the Yanks still are in the homer race and could make it a four-way battle for top honors, sports stars for any period of time usually ignore all the shouts that come from customers, for two rea- sons. In the first place, they have heard so much advice in the course of their careers that it has ceased to interest them. In the second place, they have developed such fine powers of con- centration that only the situation before them registers. They do not even .grasp the meaning .of the shouts that fall upon their ears. Casino Tigers Defeat Ozarks The Casino Tigers took a clean cut victory 10-3 from the high-fly- ing Ozark's of the Kinsman Midget Softball loop last night at Bathe Park. 'The Ozark's got a single run in the first, but the Tigers got it back plus one more, Tigers added to their total in the third, fourth, and fifth with two, four and two runs respec- tively, two on a home run, one by Czop in the third with none on base and one by J. Jozkoski also with no mates aboard. The Ozark's made a last inning attempt to at least lessen the score against them. Sobanski and Biglin came home on singles by Taylor and 8imcoe, with two out, Hulcio went down on an easty put out to end the game and give Mrogzek of the Tigers a well earned victory. Mrogzek struck out eleven of the opposing batters and only allowed one hit. Simcoe set down only one batter by this method for one of his poorest showings. The Jozkoski brothers with a homer apiece were |B best for the Tigers, while Biglin and Sobanski did well for the Ozark's.

With George Brabin hurling 9- hit ball and keeping the North Oshawa team well under' control for the first seven innings, Aces had a fairly easy time of it last night. North Oshawa didn't break the goose-egg until the 4th inning when after two out, Ashby singled, Brown and Lyons drew walks and then Hurvid was safe on an error by Crowdis, In the 5th, North Osh- awa threatened but couldn't make the grade, In the 7th, C. Hutcheon walked, and then Heaslip singled and a flelder's choice play let Hutcheon score. In the 8th, North Oshawa collec~ ted a couple of runs on a double by Brown, a walk to Lyons, two outfield putouts and Heaslip's sin- TO NIG In the 9th, a couple of walks and hits by Ashby, Hurvid and Hutch- eon gave North Oshawa a 3-run rally, their biggest splurge of the game, and completed their 7-run total too, incidentally, Heaslip, with three hits, Ashby with three and that concludes the North Oshawa "big guns." Andy Czerwaty with three hits, "Pete" Wilson with two homers and a dou- ble, these were the big hitters for Aces with Brabin and Porayko also to the fore. Porayko also had three hits, Aces had no trouble at all with Martin's slants. They scored two runs in the first frame, added a couple in the second and three in the third. They added to their to- tal in every inning except the 4th, with a 5-run rally on as many hits, in the 6th frame, being their big rally of the night. NORTH OSHAWA:--Heaslip, of; H.

Clip & Save this Schedule Sport Fallacies The factor that determines how far a golf ball will go is chiefly the speed at which the club head trav- els when it hits the ball. Knowing this, some of our best golfers have been able to compensate for small size 'by timing their swings just right, and putting on steam when it 1s most needed. Most golfers hit the ball before thair club heads have gathered maximum speed Therefore their drives are disap+ pointing short. Ben Hogan, one of the top pre golfers ay, only weighs 138 pounds, t he has strong hands and wrists, And he has developed a fine sense of timing.
