At present. Whithy is in fifth place, but it is not impossible for them to wind up their activities in the third spot. Aces, the visitors, are in a battle for the top spot with Pete's Place, and they will be all out to win, to gain the advan- tage of the extra home game, How- ever, if Whitby can finish out their schedule with three wins, they could nose out Brooklin and Har- mony for third place, Aces have already taken Whitby on two occasions, administering a 3-0 shutout on their last visit here, but from the way the Wolves have been playing of late, this means very little, Whitby held a 1-0 lead after three innings when they were rained out, and if Samanski is in top form, as he was against Brook- lin last week, then tonight's game should be a real thriller, ' Arrest Four Youths On Theft Charges Four Oshawa youths were arrest ed by Sgt. Ron Love of the Whitby police force on Sunday, charged with the theft of canned goods from the BStokely-Van Camp can- ning factory' in Whitby. The ar- rests were made as a result of ine vestigation by Sgt.
