It should be a real battle both clubs are very, very anxious to win the title, Tannery likely send Al Hiller to the mound against Colts while the Fast y call upon "Preem" Whiteley or Mel, Meulemester lew Tannery batters, Interest is keen and feelings are hould be a rip-roaring series, wn Aw Next big attraction is Saturday afternoon at Alexandra Park, 3.00 o'clock sharp--when the Inter, "A" All-Stars meet the GM-Colts In a benefit game, The entire proceeds from this big game Saturday after~ noon will go to form a "Minor Softball Pund"---the money to be spent entirely in the interests of minor softball players in this-eity and district, to supply equipment, finance playoff games and other expenses, It's a move suggested and favored by the O.A8.A. and it is to be hoped that Oshawa softball fans will turn out in large numbers on Saturday after noon to boost this worthy cause--and incidentally witness what should be a bang-up softball battle, The All-Star line-up is listed in today's paper and the managers have chosen 20 players to oppose the Colts and they have stressed fielding skill and hitting power, This All-Star team, many Inter, "A" softball fans claim, will halt the Senior GiMe Colts, on Saturday afternoon, At any rate, it should be one of the best and most interesting "local" games of the season, by Bu» By Geo. H. Campbell The local Junior "A" softball finals got under way last night with Harmony Millionaires pulling an upset as they defeated Pete's Place 8-5 in the 1st of their 3-out-of-5 game series for the title, at Alexandra Park, These two teams go again tomorrow night at Bathe Park in the second game and already this championship series has jumped into the limelight, Another win for Harmony tomorrow night will put them in command, Each team staged one big soor- ing rally last night but it was Maeson's fine relief hurling that stopped Pete's Place in thelr tracks, Homers featured last night's "game, which was attended by a very large crowd too, LE Oshawa GM-Oolts faded from the Cleveland "World Series" Toutabent last night at Kew Gardens, losing 7-2 to Standards, of the , Colts were held well in check at the plate by Piche ofsky's a an 11-strikeout pitching performance. Oolts made it 32-1 in the 7th inning but Standards staged a 4-run rally to cinch the game, Colts comehitted seven flelding errors last night and turned in one of thelr worst defensive exhibitions of the season, Lefty Meulemester was wild at the start but steadied away to do a fine pitching chore of only three hits, for seven innings, Still trailing 2-0 in the 7th, it was found necessary to send in a pinch-hitter, who incidentally clicked to drive in Oshawa's first run but what looked like a good move back-fired the next inning as Standards clipped the Oshawa relief hurler for four runs, That's what makes softball and baseball so interesting--Yipe!

'While on the subject of "darkness"--we think it's about time the O.M.B.A: officers put their foot down on the late starting of these games, It takes longer to play a Juvenile "hardball" game than the same number of innings in softball, yet the softball clubs have nearly always played a couple of innings at Alexandra Park before the Juvenile teams have got started. There's no exouse for this and all OMB.A, games should start sharp at 6.30 o'clock, This is only fair to the teams, gives both a good chance to play a full game and have a real chance of winning, Incidentally, unless some rule is made and enforced, upon penalty of "default"--the O.M.B.A, executive is going to find they still have plenty of games to finish because of late starts, The second game of this series 1s tonight at Alexandra Park, with the league-leading Rexalls team taking on Beaton's Dairy. This game tonight should be worth seeing also, Incidentally, we note in the Peterboro paper that the Oshawa Juveniles are to open their O.B.A, Provincial playofts, down in the Liftlock Cy on Sa". * Wow The .

Thompson was great in the pinch and on a couple of occasions he got out of very h holes just through straight pitching ability, Kellough, the Cobourg hurler, Jeuped Just a bit overconfident as he stepped to the big hill, but he soon realized that he had a fight ing team on his hands whether they reach the play-offs or not. Kellough got three strikeouts, the same as Thompson for the Hunters, 5 Errors For 3 Runs The Cobourg team really lost the game in the last of the fourth when they committed five errors and allowed in three runs which aotically was the game right on, Cobourg led-off In the top of the first with Hogan getting to first on balls, from where he- continued to second on a wild pitch, MoMillan popped out to the pitcher and Campbell fouled out to the catche amieson singled to third base and goored Hogan on the id Quigley singled to right field and a double steal was executed as Jamieson went to third and Quigley pulled up at second. Thompson then had to really bear down to strikeout Hall to retire the eo. The Hunters came back with one in the bottom of that inning when with one out Thompson singled to right field, Sereda sacrificed him to second and then Olaus bingled a beauty that soffed Thompson from second, Claus stole around to third but was left there as the next man went down swinging, had a great chance in the top of the third but it didn't materialive as MoMillan started with a walk, was sacrificed to sec ond and then stole third. Jamie- son went down swinging and then Suigiey flied out to deep centre Claus scored all the way from sec ond while Elliot continued to third when the fielder muffed his toss B the infield, Mosscrop flied out to the first baseman but Wallace slug- ged a nice hit into left fleld that the flelder messed around with and allowed him to go to second and Elliott to third, Bone then slapped one at the shortstop that he errored and Ellitt scored, Wallace pulled up at third only to sneak home on an error to the catcher, Cook hit to the first baseman and he too erro- red on the play that put Bone on third and Cook now on second a stolen base to his credit. Thompson ended things when he popped out to the second baseman, Cobourg went down ome, two, three in their half of the fifth and then came Oshawa's half of that inning and they added another run in that frame to make it 5-1, Sere- da went down short to first for the first out of the inning, Claus then hit a clean single to centre field. Souch then got the big blow of the game a double to centre that scor= od Claus. The next two men went down short to first and that ended things for the Hunters as they went dows in order in their half of the six Cobourg seemed to have no spir- it as they entered into the top of the seventh with the score 8-1 against them and well they mightn't as all three batters popped out to end the game, Jamieson and Quigley were the better hitters for the Cobourg team although they only got a hit Ge Claus was the big hitter for the Hunters with a "two-for-three" ave erage that was the best turned in by either team.

Tutak and the man he relieved, Baxter got none of this type of out, but they allowed the same. number of hits as the Maeson-CGoodwin uo.
