' NEWS OF WHITBY AND THE SURROUNDING DISTRIC CS T Wolves Win First Tilt In Junior Playdowns Whitby Win First Game In "C" Series of Junior Softball Playoffs -- Sa- manski Fans 14 in Eight Innings (By NEIL MacCARL) 'Whitby Wolves got the jump on North Oshawa in the "C" series of 'the Junior softball playoffs in the Town Park Tuesday night, winning the all important first game by a 7-1 margin. Wally Samanski took almost complete charge of the vis- iting batters as he fanned fourteen in the eight innings played, and he limited them to seven hits. In addition Samanski pounded a mammoth fourth inning home run that tied the scored at 1-1 and started the Wolves on their way. He might have added further to his batting average in his other two tries at the plate but Martin on the mound for the North Osh- awa team would not pitch to him and walked him on both occasions although all three of his fielders were playing in left field. The Wolves pounded Martin for 13 hits including a home run, two triples and a double, Yuill paced the Wolves at the plate with three hits, while Harlow, Hatch and Wilde each got a pair, Oshawa Score Only Run | North Oshawa got their only run in the very first inning after the first two men, to face Samanski had gone down on strikes, Scorgie lifted a single over third base and Mar- tin batting in the cleanup slot banged a line drive down the left field foul line that was good for three bases, and it drove in Scorgie. Welch was the next man to bat and he became the third out of the inning when he went down swing- ing. Only in the eighth when Scor- gle again got a hit with two out, and Martih clouted his third hit, a double, did the visitors threaten but Welch grounded out to retire i the side. Samanski Paces Whitby Hitters Samanski started the scoring for the Wolves in the fourth inning with a circuit blow that tied the score, after Martin had held the Wolves in check for three frames. Wilde kept the rally going with a double and he crossed the plate to give the Wolves a 2-1 lead when Hatch slammed a triple into centre field after two were out. In the fifth the Wolves increased their margin by two runs as some strat- egy by North Oshsawa backfired. With two men on base Martin de- cided to walk Samanski and load the bases although there only one out, but Wilde, the next batter drove in two runs with a sharp single over tthe infield. Sundin added another run for the Wolves in the sixth as Lyons dropped his fly ball and Harlow fol- lowed with a single. The Wolves completed their scor- ing in the seventh with a pair of runs. Samanski drew a walk and scored from first base when Ashby threw wild to first in an attempt to pinch him off first base and the return throw from the outfield also went wild. Neal kept things going with a three base clout and he scored the final run as Anderson contributed a timely single. Need One More Win Every man in the Wolves lineup with the exception of catcher Ross gained a hit as the Wolves went on one of their best batting sprees of the season. If they can continue to show this power at the plate on the return game at North Oshawa on Thursday night, then they should win the series in the minimum number of games. However if they fail on Thursday night, then the third game will be played here next 'Tuesday night.

JUNIORS CAPTURE PITGHERS' DUEL Top Oshawa Hunt Club 3-0 To Stay In Running (By NEIL.MacCARL) Everett Quantrill kept Whitby Rotary's playoff hopes alive last night as he pitched them to a 3-0 shutout over Oshawa Hunt Club in a Junior Lakeshore League game. Quantrill gave up just three hits to the visitors, with Mosscrop who got two of them, being the only man to give him any trouble, and he is- sued only a single base on balls, Brown on the mound for the Hun- ters came close to matching this performance as he gave up but four hits, but three of these came in the sixth inning when Harden pounded out a triple with two men on base and it widened Whitby's margin to 3-0 and put the game on ice for the loca] boys. Until the sixth frame, Whitby was held to a lone single by Gates in the fourth but the fleet-footed Rotary fielder stole second and third and scored she first run of the game when Lowe grounded out. MacDonald followed Gates with a walk and he advanced on a stolen base and Lowe's infield out, but he was stranded when Quantrill whiffed for the third out. Valuable Triple In the sixth, again it was Gates who started things off as he drove his second hit past first base. He stole second and went to third when MacDonald grounded to Brown, who hesitated too long be- fore throwing the ball, and both runners were safe, Then Harden slammed a long triple down the left field foul line and both runs crossed the plate, Claus opened the game for the visitors by hitting Quantrill's first pitch into centre field for a clean single but he was erased in a dou- | Wilso: ble play as Bone flied out to Turan- ski, Again In the second Brisbois drew a base on balls as the first batter, but he. was thrown out on Cook's fielder's choice ball, Moss~ crop followed with a single but it was turned into a double play as Cook was thrown out, Gates to An- derson, and Mosscrop was. nipped trying to get to second. There was some fme pitching by both Quantrill and Brown as they divided the ten strikeouts evenly, and each gave up a base on balls, However, Quantrill was able to scatter Oshawa's three hits and gain a shutout. The best flelding play of the night came in the fourth when MacDonald speared a line drive off the bat of Bone, although Cook made a pair of nice running catches out in centre field for the visitors. Gates and Harden shared the spotlight with Quantrill in keeping alive Whitby's playoff chances. Gates collected half of Whithy's four hits and in addition showed some fine base running and he MN RERR RRR RI Notice to Water Consumers Owing to the extensive improvements planned in our Waterworks Sys- tem which will cost approximately $60,000, the Commission has found it necessary to-slightly increase all water rates during the life of the de- benture.
