i" THE TIMES-GAZETTE Tuesday, Sepiember 24, 1948 CPORT =. NAPSHOTS Comvie! The leaves are changing colors and falling and the pigskin boys are booting and chucking the oval all over the place but we've still got a Jot of summer sports activity on the go here in Oshawa. Pirst on the books for this week is the Inter, "AA" softball playoff game, a Provincial semi-final test, up at Alexandra Park toinorrow (Wednesday) evening at 5.30 o'clock sharp, It's between the Oshawa Legion Stars snd the Toronto "Irish Vets"--another group of young returned service men and the winner of this series goes into the finals for the Ontario O.ABS.A, Intermediate "AA" championships, against a team from Ham- fiton, Playing at Acorn Park on Saturday afternoon, the Oshawa Legion team defeated the "Irish Vets" 5-1 in a rea] softball thriller with most of the runs coming in the last three frames. Bob Dionne hit a homer for Oshawa's first run and got the next one on & long drive plus an error throw. Tt was this business of bad throws, just as much errors as bobbles on pick-ups or fly balls, that cost the Toronto Irish their game, Their left-handed hurler pitched.s great brand of ball, allowing only five hits but the errors by his mates aided Oshawa's * 4% 4 = have been a Juvenile baseball playoff game here has been called off. The Oshawa club wished to 516 pm. and the Toronto "Lizzies," one of Bob Abate's teams, to play earlier in the afternoon, due to a Jewish » starting at sundown. The final decision is that the first game of this Ontario semi-final series for the Juvenile "A" OB.A. crown will be played up in Toronto on Saturday with the return game back in Oshawa next Wednesday afternoon. Toronto Lizzies defeated Brantford in their 3rd round series, on Saturday for the second- straight win, Meanwhile, Windsor Juveniles are awaiting the Toronto- Oshawa winner, for the Provincial championship final series. Oshawa has a very smart Juvenile ball team and everyone is pulling for them to g0 on to the finals, by eliminating the highly-rated Toronto Lizzles -- who have been a potent force in OB.A. age-limit ranks for years and years, . Away back in 19268 when St. Andrew's won the OB.A. Juvenile title--we first heard that famous cry "Yeah Lizzles--Fight! Fight! Fight!" * Robson Leather "Tannery" has won a berth in the O.A.8.A. , "A" gemi-finals, Toronto Owls, featuring the slow-ball ace Harvey Rule, who defeated Oshawa Laundry back in 1941, were to have opened a playoff series with New Toronto last night but th got rained out. They are playing tonight and then again el tomorrow or Thursday. The winners of this round will come Oshawa on Saturday evening, 5.15 o'clock, to: play the "Tannery" the semi-fianls, The winner takes on either Sarnia or Port Col! in the 0.A.8.A. Southern Ontario finals. "Tannery" ousted Barrie Orfuns in two-straight games and it was just as well. Notified by conversation on Saturday moon that the game had been the Barrie club The HiT The "Tannery" team didn't actually one diamond (not their own regulation field) to permit a game and so to keep absolutely in the o'clock and rounded up their team were Their 7-2 victory was a fitting reward. * ® & =» The game had been cancelled via "sound truck" and as a result, the attendance was very small, only those who happened to hear about it in the last hour, getting up. However, although they missed a good "gate," the Tannery boys won everything else needed. The Barrie team started their veteran ace, Ken Guilfoyle, but he didn't have it and lasted only 8 innings despite 8 strikeouts in that period." Couse, who took over was a big improvement but he had one bad frame too and Oshawa had a 7-0 lead by the 5th, If Couse had started, it might have been differ ent. Jack MoConkey hurled great ball for the Tannery and his mates, especially the outfielders, performed in great style to help him with airtight support. Sammy Sark drove in four runs with a single and two doubles and he scored twice himself to account for 6 of the 7 Oshawa suns, It was a great win for Robson Leather and the Barrie club, with high hopes and intentions of tying up the round, went home very disappointed. Now the Tannery awaits Toronto Owls or New Toronto-- likely the Owls, to visit here Saturday night. * & «4 =» Just before dealing with the rest of the current summer sport-- we'd like to announce to he Oshawa hockey public that the Arena management has announced that "Subscriber's Tickets" will sale, Monday, Sept. 30th, 9.00 o'clock at Mike's for 1945-46 "subscribers," will remain open for fig isn Robson Leather Over Barrie Orfuns Here To Sweep Series In Two-Straight Tannery Team Grabs Early Lead and Hang On By - Smart Fielding and Jack McConkey's Good Pitch- ing -- Guilfoyle Driven From Mound Early -- Couse Does Well In Re- lief Role--Stark the Big Hitter Robson Leather " " de feated Barrie "Orfuns" 7-2 up at Alexandra Park on Saturday eve- nig 10 sweep their O.AS.A, Inter-. te "A" playoff series in two- straight games, The Oshawa Leathermen now ad- vance into the Provincial .semi- finals in this bracket, against either Toronto Owls or New Toronto, with the first game of the séries sched- uled for Alexandra Park, Saturday evening, Sept. 28th, 5.15 o'clock. Had Been Called Off The game was played on a muddy, slippery field but proved remarkably fast considering the footing. Barrie had been notified early in the afternoon that owing to rains, the .game had been post- poned but they made the trip to Oshawa anyway and insisted on playing, despite conditions. Robson Leather, who had an- nounced in the afternoon, that the game had been postponed until Monday, had a tough job rounding up a full team but once assembled, they played with mingled ill-humor and vigor and the combination proved very effective. Owing to the mix-up, only a very small crowd witnessed the game, but even so, the Oshawa team was quite happy and satisfied when it was over. Not so Barrie Orfuns! Barrie sent their veteran mounds- man, Ken Guilfoyle, to the box for pitching duties but he lasted only three Innings and then gave way, trailing 4-0. Branton singled to open the 1st inning for the Tan- nery. Trimm grounded out, Bran- ton advancing and then - Sammy Stark singled to right, scoring Branton. y Guilfoyle struck the next two bat- ters out and the first two in the 2nd inning but it proved only a flash-in-the-pan, Three Solid Hits He fanned, Trott, first batter in the 3rd inning, also but Ramsay, his catcher, missed the 3rd strike and Trott was safe at 1st. Branton singled with a clean bunt and then Trimm grounded to the box, forcing Trott at 3rd. It was then Sammy Stark blew the game wide-open with a two- base smack into right field and Gilbert followed with another double, through shortstop, scoring Stark with the 3rd run of the in- ning and making the score 4-0. for Barrie in the 4th, retired Osh- awa in 1, 2, 3 order with two of them "whiffers" and then he got nicked for three runs in the 5th, to cinch Oshawa's victory. Errors proved costly in the 5th to Couse, Branton was safe to open it, on a fumble by Miles. Trimm fanned but Stark came up with his second double and third hit in succession, to push Branton to 3rd. Dave Gilbert struck out for two out but Janetos singled scoring Bran- ton and Stark and moved to 2nd himself on the throw-in to the plate which was foo late to get Stark. A passed ball put Janetos on 3rd and he scored after Price had walked, when McConkey struck out but Ramsay again missed the 3rd strike and while he was throwing to 1st, too late to get McConkey, Janetos came home to make it 7-0. Pito Very Good To give Co! full credit, he was terrific after that, not allowing a single hit and only two walks. He struck out 6 batters in only 5 in- nings while Guilfoyle fanned 5 in only three innings but those two errors by catcher Ramsay, both on strikeouts, and the timely hitting of the Oshawa crew, settled the issue. Barrie might have won, had Couse started, but they didn't look as good as Tannery at any time. Jack McConkey pitched a superb game for the homesters. He went three frames without allowing a hit and he was actually only in trouble twice. In the 6th, M. es opened with a single, an infield grounder to Price, which he beat out. Miles sacrificed him to 2nd and he scored when Lacking smack to left-field, and moved to 2nd on the gals Hirow-in to the plate. A single Hines, scoring Laking, completed Barrie's 3-hit, 2-run 8th. the 9th, with one out, Guil- out-of-turn, when it should have been , He was automatically out, when discovered, but he grounded out -anyway and : jen batting for himself, he watch- the 3rd strike go past, to end the game and season for Barrie.

The Oshawa Red Raiders Little Big Four rugby squad is feelihg bet- ter after the opener against the Hamilton Tigers and now they are readying themselves for their go against the league-leaders Toronto Argonauts this Saturday at Alex- andra Park. None of the injuries that fhe boys sustained in the last game are keep- ing them in bed and so the future looks much brighter for Coach Doug. Waugh's gridders. The team is holding nightly practices at Alexandra Park rain or shine and on the more favour- able nights the scrimmages are at- tracting small crowds of very in- terested sideliners and the jist of the word from them is that the Juniors are looking much better and they should give the Argos a much better fight than the Hamil ton team got. The Scullers have some mighty fine material and such quantity that they have lowered their age limit one year. Some of their chief threats are drawn from the better High School teams of a few years ago and as will be remembered by some of the boys, these were top teams, THe Argos haven't lost a start yet and naturally they don't want to start by losing here. The Red Raiders on 'the other hand would like very much to win this game and so prove that' they have a right to be playing in this "Little Big Four". Some additions to the team are hoped for and in both cases they are backfielders. These players plus those that showed. well on Wednes- day night's tussle will probably make up a team that will have the Argos as. to where and what dood it. The Sums should be a real thrill- er as Oshawa lads will be try- ing to stop that raszle-daszzle stuff of the junior edition Argos and push over some floints of their own, If Mozewsky, Dell and Reddoch and that man Morey find the buck- ing and passing dynamite , they showed signs of haying in the first game, plus Zavitsky's signal calling and a strong and smoothly work- ing line, the juniors can look for ward to a very s season and some record crowds. A note to the players;- the team has got the use of one of the barns at Alexandra Park and on the days when it is unfavourable for a Se amaze a "chalk-talk will be e Mrs. Irene Clark '46 Club Champ ~ At Downsview Mrs. Irene Clark won the Ladies' Club Championship at the Downs- view Golf Club over the week-end, eiminating last year's club cham- pion, Mrs. Ada Crawford.

The seventh went to Mrs, Crawford, the eighth to Mrs, Clark and the ninth being a tied hole. The tenth was again won by Mrs. Clark with the 1lth again being tied. Mrs. Crawford was successful in gaining a slight edge on the twelfth and thirteenth but again the winner came back to take the fourteenth hole and thus og the Club Championship for This ends all the competitions at the Downsview for this season.

For three years of baseball his- tory--19019, 1920 and 1921--a pen- nant-winner had to take five games out of nine in order to become a world's champion. During that period the Cincinnati Reds defeated the Chicago White Sox, five games to three; Cleveland beat Brooklyn, five games to two, and the New York Giants.defeated the Yankees, five games to three, In 1922 the series returned to the four-out-of-seven schedule, ENTRY FORMS For all Persons wishing to Bowl this Season in the MEN'S MAJOR LEAGUE Must be returned to the Motor City Bowling Alleys.
