NAPSHOTS _Comvi Seplember 5, 1046 Ar ' to Alexandra Park tomorrow night, providing the ~ a A en wn be bright and shiny but also warm-- the | Local Sport Fans Get i 2 H i Harmony Millionaires learned last night that you cannot afford to play a bad game or have an "off night" in the playoffs so they are in the discard now and Belleville Goodmans go on as Eastern Ontario zone champs, to try for the O.AS8.A, Junior "A" crown again, They won it last season as the Belleville "Squires". Don Boyle, who acts as if he thinks he's a lot better than he really is, was still too good for the Harmony boys last night--because they helped him out by swinging at bad pitches, high and outside slants which they cpuldn't have reached with an extra foot on their bat. At that Boyle was nicked for 9 hits and "Bunny" Maeson gave up only 11 to Belleville and had 9 strikeouts to Boyle's 8. Maeson descrved a better fate but his mates were bad, They appeared nervous and jittery, They did some very dumb base running in spots, especially after they reached 3rd base, to throw away at least six runs. They ran when they should have stayed and stayed when they should have run, In addition, the Oshawa outfield was not as alert as usual while they were very weak and shaky at 3rd base and behind the plate. Errors and bad throws and bad judgment in these two spots made it easy for Belleville to stage a B-run rally in the 6th and break up a 3-3 tie, That cinched the game right there. Actually, if the Millionaires had played the spirited, wide-awake brand of ball with which they ousted Brooklin, North Oshawa, Pete's Place and then Peterboro, they would have won last night's game and forced a 3rd contest, Belleville may retain the Ontario title this year but we doubt it, On last night's display, they too looked like a very ordinary Junior softball team with Green, their catcher, being a standout per- former, They are also strong at lst and 3rd with pitcher Boyle of course, their big threat--but after that, they didn't look any better last night than the Harmony team, most of whom have one or two more years in Junior ranks, The Millionaires have done mighty well and Oshawa and Harmony fans should be still proud of "Dutch" Ose borne's good team. Nobis Robson Leather "Tannery" played what Bellevile softball fans SPORT SHORTS----The softball wars are thinning out the ranks of champlonship contenders, Here in Oshawa, our Robson Leather "Tan- nery" team appears headed for the Inter, "A" semi-finals at least and perhaps the coveted Ontario title, for they should oust Belleville now, after having won the first game . . « The Oshawa Juveniles are out and so are the local Juniors, Fittings and Harmony respectively having lost their Eastern Ontario final rounds to Kingston and Belleville , , . Oshawa Legion, Inter, "AA" entry, are sone champs and now await word from the O.AS.A. as to further playoff action .. . Casino Tigers walloped the Cedardale Lions Tuesday night at Cowan's Park and that climaxed the season for the Tigers, They lost only one game all season in about 32 or more, to win the Kinsmen's League title , , . And speaking of softball playoffs, we understand that there is to be a meeting tonight of the Legion softball officials, to decide whether or not that first game between Peterboro and Oshawa wil] stand as played. Mgr, Foley informs us the meeting is tonight but frankly, we doubt that a meeting will even be held, let alone the protest upheld. Why? Well, we'll let the Legion boys in on something--Peterboro played the first game of their next round with Campbellford on Tues day night and won 19-3. The return game is in Campbellford tonight and Pembroke is playing a semi-final round game in Peterboro on Saturday night. . » LJ » DIAMOND DUST--Shortly after we went to press on Tuesday, . "Ab" Walker phoned to say the Oshawa-Belleville Junior game would not be played in Peterboro on Wednesday as expected, The Peterboro diamond was busy, However, these two good Junior ball will meet In a sudden-death tilt down in Peterboro on Saturday 3.00 o'clock, for the right to go to Ottawa in the next fully expect the Oshawa B'Nal B'Rith team to oust Belle- in this 3rd game for on what we saw here Labor Day, are much the better team, more balance, power and pitching !

Oshawa softball fans in particu lar and sport fans in general are expected to turn out in large num- bers to see this stellar attraction at Alexandra Park tomorrow night, for not only will they be seeing some of Canada's best-known hockey stars and athletes in action, but a record of seven wins in eight games this summer, against top- notch competition, indicates that the NHL, Hockey Stars also know a thing or two about playing soft- ball and so the game should be well worth seeing, Last Thursday, the NHL, team defeated Hamilton Dominion Cloth- ing 8-7, in an exhibition game there, with the GM-Colts losing the second half of the night's twin-bill to the same "Dominions", by 8-4, NORTHMINSTERS NAIL CEDARDALE; ROTARY WINS TOO Two more victories were won by winners of Board of Education Pub- lic Playground teams in the final of Oshawa and District Minor Soft- ball Play Downs on Tuesday even= ing.

RED RAIDERS PREPARING FOR THEIR FIRST TILT The Oshawa Red Raider Juniors have been practicing very hard late- ly in tion for the first game in Hamilton on Sept. 18, The team is shaping up very good and from now on Coach Doug. Wan will be cutting the squad own, . The Inter. team is still practice ing and a very important session for them is being called for Sune day at 1030 at Alexandra Park, All players are asked to make the switch in both time and place, as this meeting was originally called for Friday night. A meeting of the ORF.U, is be- ing held in Cobourg tonight, and Oshawa will have representatives oh hand, A schedule will probably be drawn up with a league consist ing of Cobourg, Peterboro, King- ston and Oshawa, At the present time, Oshawa still needs more rugby equipment, how- ever a has been made to have some here by Sept, 12 and if it arrives all will be OK, Every. one seems to feel that a strong Ine ter, team could be rounded up and the boys are all anxious to play. Eight players signified their inten= tion of trying out for the Cobourg team if Oshawa doesn't field a team, However, all prospective Inter, players are urged to turn out Sun day a.m, as the turnout at this meet. ing will probably decide the fate of the Oshawa team, again getting in Melbourne, Australia--(CP)---Best seats for the Davis Cup final to be ag this oii] wil cost about 50) each, price will be 30 shill but -- will lift 1t to £2.

MacKay and "Bill" avy have recently returned to Or- ono frém a fishing trip some 400 miles north of the village, where they enjoyed excellent success, so much so that rono's reputation as a fishing paradise may be some- what toned down, They report a fine catch of Great Northern pike, CASINO TIGERS ARE CHAMPIONS Casino Tigers, who played about 35 games this summer and tasted defeat only once, captured the Kinsmen's Minor Softball League championship on Tuesday night at Cowan's Park when they defeated Cedardale Lions 16-6 to sweep the final series in two-straight games. They showed their title ambie tions early on Tuesday night, score ing three runs in the very first ine ning, adding four in the second and five in the third frame and then getting a pair in each of the next two frames. In the 6th, something must have went wrong for they had four batters out of five reach 1st base safely but they didn't score, Maybe they wanted to make sure of innings, Cedardale scored their first run .lon a flock of walks in the 4th as Mroisack hit a wild streak, In the 8th he walked two more and a double by Locke and single by Stone gave the Dale boys three more runs, In the 6th, MacInally singled, an error by Czop and another by Gyurka gave the Lions two more runs, In the 7th, they went out in order when Swinger was safe on a (Continued on Page 2) 261 King E.

Gavas struck out 12 batters in only 6 innings, an average of two a frame. Once he got only one, but he fanned 3 in the 6th to make up his average. The only hit he allowed was a single to G. Hoy to open the Sth inning and then although Hoy stole and and 3rd, Gavas fanned the next three batters in succession, McTavish, O'Connor and Lean, to leave Hoy stranded on 3rd, Rexalls got their lone run in the 4th, when Gavas hit Batten with a piténed ball. There was one out at he time, Batten stole 2nd and moved to 3rd on a passed ball and scored when Mercer fumbled Don, Hoy's grounder and threw wild to 1st, Stovin fanned and Dale Hoy Was safe on an error by Gavas but then Gavas fanned Hutton to end the, Limi ese were the only two times Rexalls got a man past 3nd, Coca Colas got one run at the start, also unearned, when with one out, McLennan was safe on a bad error by Batten. Wilson fanned but Simpson was safe on an error by Lean and MacLennan went home., In the 5th, Gavas won his own game with a two-bagger, The score was tied at the time, 1-1, Gavas then stole 3rd and came home when Pete Canning, a pinch-hitter, came through with a single to.centre, An error at shortstop put MacLennon on again and Wilson walked to fill the bass but McTavish fanned Simpson and forced MacGregor to ground out, to get himself out of this bad hole, McTavish struck out nine batters in six innings himslf but he was nicked for five hits, Score by Innings-; R.H.E, Rexalls .....o00000 0001001 1 3 Coca Colas seveess 100010---2 6 3 REXALLS;- Lean, 1b; Batten, 8s; and cf; Don Hoy, 3b; Btovin, ¢; Dale Hoy, lf; Hutton, rf; G, Hoy, 2b; McTavish, p; O'Connor, ss and cf; Freeman, rf in 6th, COCA COLAS;- Mercer, ss; Mac- Lennan, 1b; Wilson, 2b; Simpson, If; MacGregor, 3b; Bradley, ¢; Ken- nedy, rf; Johnstone, cf; Gavas, p; Canning, ss. batted in 5th, Umpires; Claus and Tyson, TARS PLAY GM-COLTS HERE FRIDAY Legion Golds Oust Kinsmen Reach Finals smen team from the Canadian Le glon Softball League with an easy 11 to 2 win at ra Park on Tuesday night, The Golds were never in doubt as Joe Maga on the mound for the winners (their secret weapon) was never in trouble, Maga pi flawless bal] and the badly weakened by injuries and holiday schedules, were no match at any time, Six members of the Kine smen regular line-up were forced to miss this game and the substitute team played as well as couid be expected, The Golds now meet the Whites for the Kinsmen Club Trophy, LEGION:--Bryant, cf; Weather by, 3b; Brady, 3b; Andrews, 1b; Dionne, ss; Normoyle, 2b; Kurelo, rf; Maddock, rf; Davey, if; Carter, If; Cook, c; Maga, p.
