Although they came close to hitting the losing met the very surprising Polish White Eagles in series the Robson Leather boys showed their stuff 1 series also by winning a hard-fought battle, "Tannery" the Oshawa Intermediate "A" are challenging the GM-Colts to do battle City Championship, and The Miller-Libby "This hunk of silver has rested too long in the Colts lap," : further state that they are just the the chatter from the Colts camp Well that should be a great series and the Tannery will put on a great show as every one knows ey will soon enter the 0.A.8.A, Inter. defeated Mayfair Lanes team is ex- "B" playoffs. They should do well they come up with as good ball as they played in these finals. . #* »* % * winning the Oshawa Intermediate "A" championship, Robson "Tannery" become the holders of The D, M. Tod Cup, emblem~ Their bid to bring an Ontario Inter, "A" softball will be followed with keen interest for not only is the one with the local fans but Oshawa softball out in greater numbers this year than ever keen, Just when the "Tannery" will open ~Colts for the "City Championship" and is not yet known, but should the Colts suffer their second Cleveland Tournament defeat tomorrow night, then the City Championship series will likely get under way on Friday night. Other- wise, it will be some time next week. 'This Saturday afternoon, of course, has been reserved for the big All-Star ; game between the Inter. "A" All-Stars and the GM-Colts Seniors," All proceeds from this big game on Saturday afternoon will go to the Minor Softball Fund, a special fund inaugurated this year to provide funds to help out Ju- venile and Minor softball teams in their expenses of travelling for On- tario playoff games and in general, to boost the sport among younger players and help them financially with equipment, etc. This game Saturday afternoon should attract the biggest softball crowd of the season to Alexandra Park at 3.00 o'clock. Not only have local softball fang been waiting to see the Inter. "A" All-Stars tangle with the Senior GM-Oolts but the fact that the ENTIRE proceeds will go to boosting sport among minors--always a worth-while cause for any real sport fan, should serve to increase the attendance and gate receipts, * » Ww * Oshawa GM-Colts dropped a Cleveland "World Series" Tourna- ment game to Peoples Jewellers last night at Kew Beach, "Susie" Turner was in rare form for the Peoples' team and limited the Colts to only five hits. A two-week layoff showed in Oshawa's weakness at the plate, with Turner getting 9 strikeouts, 8 of them in the first four innings. After that the Colts started to hit the ball but couldn't get the safeties needed. At that it was only 2-1 until the 6th inning and then "Kitch" Jeffers poled a triple to make it 4-1 and put the game on ice. "Preem" Whiteley did a good relief chore after Dean McLaughlin finally gave way, after having trouble for six frames in finding the plate with his best pitches. GM-Colts Play their second game in this World Series tournament tomorrow night at Kew Gardens, against Standard Brands. Standards are at present 2nd to the smart Rooneys' team, in the Bellwoods League, Bowles who nosed out Standards in thelr first game, take on Peoples tomorrow night in the first game of the twin-bill at Kew Beach and Colts meet Standards in the night-cap. Two losses means elimination in this tourney so Colts simply have to win to- morrow night in order to stay in the running, * » > Ww There are no playoff softball games booked for tonight but there are a couple of "crooshul" battles on tap for tomorrow (Wednesday) Jong night. Harmony Millionaires advanced to the Junior "A" finals last night at Bathe Park when they defeated North Oshawa 10-1 in their 8rd and deciding. game of that semi-final series. North Oshawa went down fighting in this series, after having had a great season and a big * improvement over last year. 'They whipped Harmony on Saturday night out at North Oshawa to tie up the series but last night at Bathe Park, the Millionaires were "in the money" with timely hitting, smart defensive and "Bunny" Maeson's clever pitching, in which he chalked up a of strikeouts to aid his own cause. So North Oshawa hangs up their togs for the season but it's been a good one. Now the Harmony Millionaires meet Pete's Place in a 3-out-of-8 series for the Oshawa City & District Junior "A" softball championship and right to enter the O.AS.A, Provincial playoffs. This title series opens tomorrow night at Alexandra Park and then Pete's Place go. down to Bathe Park on Friday night for the 2nd game of the series. This one should be hectic and Pete's Place are going to have their hands full disposing of Harmony in the final round.

Peoples and Bowles meet in the other half of tomorrow night's twin-bill, Close Game Until 6th Although they ran into big "Su- sie" Turner when he was having a very "hot night," the Oshawa Coits were very much in the running last night until "Kitch" Jeffers poled out a mammoth triple over "Dib" Little's head, with two men on bases, in the 6th inning, Little's great throw to the infield and Dalton's perfect relay to the plate enabled slide at the plate, as the hitter wis trying to make it a homer , .. . which it certainly would have been but for the two fine throws, Dean McLaughlin got off to a shaky start on the mound for Osh- awa and was in trouble most of the frames, He walked Smith and Ev- ans singled. He forced Jeffers to pop and Stricker flied to centre then "Red" Heron was deliberately walked to fill the bases and Burk- itt popped up to end the 1st inning, In the second, Pulfer singled wit one out, Turner walked and Smith doubled to centre, scoring Puller and when Nelson missed Romaniski's throw from the outfield and the ball hit the screen, Turner was able to stroll home from 3rd. In the 4th Peoples loaded the bases with two out on two walks and a single by Evangebut Stricker filed out to centre. In the 6th in- ning, with the score 2-1 for Peo- es, started the victory ral- y that won his own game, with a single to centre, Smith walked, Ev- ans struck out but Jeffers poled out his drive over Little's head, scoring Turner and Smith, In the Tth , Burkitt opened with a double Gilbert walked. At this stage, "Preem" Whitely took over the pitching duties and Mc- Laughlin moved to the outfield, 'Whi walked Pulfer to fill the bases then "Susie" Turner slashed a single through the infield scoring Burkitt and Gilbert and Hurst's fine throw to 3rd enabled Kitchen to tag Pulfer trying to slide into that base. ¢ Whitely went along in fine form after that and chalked up four strikeouts in the last three innings and gave up only one more hit, a two-bagger to Turner with two out in the 9th. Smith lifted one to right which MoLaughlin misjudged and Turner scored Peoples' 7th run, Colts Threatened Twice Big Harry Turner was in great pitching form for the winners, He started out like a house-afire, fan- ned eight batters in the first five frames, After that, Colts, who were obviously showing signs of their Al (K.0.)

Oshawa scored firstinthe 4th when Nelson walked and Dean Mc~ Laughlin singled to centre, Jeffers' throw to the plate went to the screen and Nelson was an easy safe while McLaughlin moved to 3rd, Magee grounded over the pitcher's head with a Bomnees "ud Bvate ads 2 pickup perfect fas A plate to nip McLaughlin ov. Bo to score on the bid, In the Tth, Colts got their other run, Kitchen got a scratchy infield hit and then Little fooled the Peo- ple's infleld with a smart bunt ov- er Turner's head as the pitcher moved in, Dalton sacrificed the suii- ners along and then Whitely slash- ed one that bounced off Turner's caromed over to Smith, Kitchen scored easily on the hit and but for the freak bounce, Little would also have scored but as iv was he was trapped in a "hot box" play between 2nd and 3rd but got out of it when Smith momentarily fumbled, Bidgood popped out to end the inning and Oshawa's last threat. Colts were outhit 9 to 5 and on Turner's pitching, were well-bea- ten, although they made a much better battle of it than the 7-2 score would indicate. "Tony" Ro- maniski turned in a brilliant game in centre with four sparkling run. ning catches, Little was also to the fore, Turner had three hits for Peo- ples and accounted himself for four of his team's runs, Jeffers' triples was the other big blow and Smith's timely double in the 2nd inning.

OSHAWA Harmony Millionaires stamped out the North Oshawa threat by a 10-1 count at Bathe Park last night to win their semi-final series and earn the right to enter the finals against Pete's Place, It was of course another very one-sided affair with "Bunny" Mae- son the Harmony hurler '"in the pink" with a list of eleven strike- outs. He allowed five scattered hits for the grand total of one run, Martin, who pitched for the North |¢ Oshawa team had two whiffer's and he allowed twenty-one hits for ten runs The game started off with Harm- ony getting two runs off the bats of Penfound and Maeson, Scott and Loreno being the men to cross the plate, North Oshawa replied with a singleton, their only run of the ball game in the first half of the second inning, Welsh singled and con- tinued around to the platter on three consecutive infield outs. Harmony not to be outdone also got a singleton in the last of the third when Loreno again crossed the plate to make the score read 8-1 for Harmony, Scott and Robin- son came home in the fourth inning to make it 6-1 and then Robinson made the trip around the bases again in the last of the sixth to make it 6-1 for his team, North Oshawa made only one at- tempt at a comeback during these innings and that was in the first of the fourth when they got Welsh to second and Hucheon to first with two out. The next man to face Maeson's slants was Lyon and he went down for the last out and the end of North Oshawa's only hope. Harmonys big inning in a run- scoring way was the last of the eighth when they tallied four runs and wound up at the end of the game with a score of 10-1, Scott, Maeson, Penfound and Loreno were the boys to score in the inning, North Oshawa went down one, 6-0; D, Colrick def, OC, Trehern 6-0, 6-1; L. Thomson def, V. Romhanyl 6-2, 2-6, 6-2, two, threeNn thelr half of the ninth and that ended everything for them, As a matter of fact they went down in order in all but the first four innings. Welsh was hte only man on the "Northerners" team that seemed to see how to hit "Bunny" Maeson's itches as he got two hits while hree of his teammates got singles apiece, Scott with a "five-for-five" av- erage was certainly the best man at the. plate for either team, while Robinson and Loreno ran him a close second by missing getting to first only once each that night, NORTH OSHAWA---Heaslip, 3b; Ashby, c¢; Bcorgie, 2b; Martin, p; Welsh, 1b; Hurvid, If; Hucheon, ss; Lyon, rf; and Woods, cf.

THISTLES NEZD ONE MORE WIN d alliday's Thistles took the thir a of %heir threeout-of five pot= fes with the Fittings 14-7 to take 8 one game lead In ihe series at Alex: ra Park last night. re Thistles were hot again for the second' time in the series and literally swept the Fittings oft pie respective feet in the first inn ru with a six run tally that the Pit- tings never really recovered from until late in the game and that was too late for the Thistles had not been idle and they racked up an additonal eight runs 0 hike it 14= 7 before the game WAS A DeMille en Dervent for the Fit- ting struck out two, while the win- ning hurler, McLaughlin set down three by this method, Thus it wasn't a real pitchers duel in that sense of the word but it was in that the hurlers had to get cut of some pretty tough holes and in that depurtment McLaughlin was the better man as the score would indi- cate, Fittings came back with two in their half of the second, but that was gotten back easily by the Thist- les by the end of the fourth inning when they had scored four runs. Fittings got one of these back in the last of the fifth when Keeler came across the plate for the Fit- tings to make the score read 10-3, Fittings scored evenly with the Thistles in the rest of the game, Thistles got four runs while the Fittings got four also. That made the final score 14-7 the same as in the first game of the series which was also won by the Thistles. Baldwin's homer in the first of the third got one run for the Thist« les while Coggin's high average hit- ting helped the Thistles cause also.
