Tip Tops Win Second Clash; Rooney's Title Toronto, Oct. 1 -- Bob McCown held Peoples to four hits and struck out 17 batters at Kew Gardens last nig as Tip Tops go to Bus Benson early for a 5-2 victory, their second d | straight In a best-of-five series for Toronto gave up 6 hits, all in the first four frames and none after Oshawa had scored their two runs but it proved enough. The second game of this series §§ up in New To- ronto tomorrow af oon and we are looking for Jack 'McConkey to turn back the New Toronto club right on their own diamond. The New Toronto team is a reliable fielding team but they looked very ordinary at the plate. If Tannery wins again tomorrow, they open the Southern Ontario final series up in Sarnia on Saturday. Edmonton Veteran Encourages Young Prairie Athletes By KEN METHERALL Canadian Press Staff Writer Bdmonton, Sept. ¢) -- (CP) -- a track and field meet is Tun off in Alberta, be it big or small the chances are you will find an elderly, grey-haired man move couragement to competitors, That elderly gentleman is A. R. (Pop) Lawrence who "never ran a race in my life," but who is known to most city youngsters. Mr. Lawrence is chairman of the ® has never pretended to be an athlete or a coach and admits that his experience on the playing field consists of having taken part in a "couple of ball games--probably right field." His forte has been the all-important administrative side of sport. Hé has been secretary of many athletic organizations, Besides track and field, he has been associated with basketball, baseball and hockey clubs and lea gues, "Pop" is strictly an amateur and never gets involved with profession al or semi-professional organiza tions. He says he has no quarrel with professionals. "I leave them alone and like them to treat me the same way." : "Young fellows these days usual ly want to know what the pay-off is before they will interest them- selves to any real extent in sport," Mr. Lawrence says, "Girls, however, generally are interested in sport for Seen Ye ung the fun they get out o For that reason he has tended to spend more and more time organise ing and assisting women's sports clubs and leagues during the last 10 years, He has little use for boys we want to know "what's the pay- off. In 1939 he helped to form the Edmonton Girls Athletic Club. He has been secretary of it ever since and today it has more than 40 ac- tive members, "Pop" says several of them will be hitting the sports headlines consistently before long. He was secretary of the men's amateur baseball league that played on Edmonton's old Boyle Street Diamond from 1928 to 1933. And he held the same position with a girl's baseball club about the same time. He has been one of the main- springs in girl's basketball in the city. He wag secretary of the Ed- monton Eskimo girls' team that copped the Alberta intermediate crown in both 1920 and 1930, Ard he managed an Edmonton interme- diate hockey team that went to the Alberta finals in 190. Frank Coulson, one of the west's most colorful hoc- key mentors, was coach of the club and in the nets was Earl Robertson of New York American fame. "Pop's" home has always been open to young athletes, "Nowadays I usually have the children or grandchildren of the older gang ca- vorting around the place," he laughs. And that just suits the man who "never ran a race in my life." masse ------ HUNTING DOGS One would think that the color 7f a hunting dog would be quite important. But it isn't. Small dogs with red or tan coats often are mistaken for rabbits or foxes by hunters who are excited, careless, or both. ¢ For this reason, especially in the case of the beginning hunter, it is well to have dogs with black and white coats. Then they are less apt to be shot at by their mas- ter and other hunters who may be in the vicinity. The color of a dog make no difference, however, in how clever a hunting dog he may be. Natural ability plus training tell that story. the Beaches Major Fastball League title. Ab Grant fanned eight and yielded only one hit after relieving Buster in the third, McCown had too much stuff for Peoples, allowing one hit only in the final six frames and striking out the side in the fifth and seventh. Doug Adam's single and Ed Geraldi"s homer gave Top- pers two in the first stanza, then Red Heron drove home People's pair of runs with a triple in the second. Tip Tops bunched four hits for their three-run margin in the third, Wilf Smith had two of Peo- ples' four hits and starred at third base, Peoples ...... 020 000 000--2 4 0 Tip Tops ..... 203 000 00x--58 9 1 Benson, Grant and Bolosky; Mc- Cown and Gaul, ROONEYS CAPTURE BELLWOODS SENIOR Paced by the hitting of Johnny Furlong, Jack Kirke and Mannie Kline, Rooneys breezed through to a 9-3 win over Standards at Acorn Park last night, to take the Bell- woods Senior Softball League cham- plonship. Lefty Kirke held the losers to three scattered hits, but needed the help of Gordle Wright in the last two innings, when he lost control to fill the bases in the eighth, but Wright came in and retired the side on strikeouts, and coasted by the ninth frame with no difficulty. Kirke, with a home run, double and single, accounted for five of the winners' runs. Kline belted a double and single, while Furlong contributed a homer, double and ORTSN LLACIES MARGERY MILLER Many spectators watching a crew race assume that the crew in the lead in the middle of the contest is the one which stands the best chance to win, But they are wrong. The pacing of a crew race, not understood by many people, is usu- ally fast at the start, slower during the middle s'retch, and fast again toward the end of the distance. In fact, the best crews time them- selves so well that often they faint just as they reach the finish, having given their full measure of energy. When a crew in the middle of the race is in good position but is rowing more slowly than the other crews in the race, it is a likely winner. The winning men usually are those who save their energy for the last great sprint.

CLEVELAND INpiAlS Toronto Archer Is New Ontario Champ for '46 The 4th annual Tournament of the Hunting and Field Archers of Ontario, held September 28th and 20th at Oshawa, Ontario, is now only a pleasant memory but it is a memory of the biggest and most successful tournament ever held in this country. Over 100 Arcners from all parts of Ontario competed for the titles. New Record Set The hunting class was shot on Saturday under perfect weather conditions. Bill Frost of Toronto, won this 1946 year's Championship with a record score of 423 points thus winning the John Landen Trophy. Closely followed by John Landen of Owen Sound, last year's Champion who amassed 401 points, Henry Benson of Hamilton came third with 395 points, Sunday morning found the wea- ther right down on deck and the start of the Field Class was delayed but not for long. Bill Frost of Toronto came in 1st agdin with a high score of 550 points, thus winning the Moffat Wallace Trophy. Henry Hanson of Hamilton came second with a neat 486 points and third place went to Ken McClelland, Jr. (a Westonian) last year's champion, with 485 points. Oshawa Lady Second In the Women's division, Mrs. Millie Obediah of Oshweken took first place with a score of 251, Mrs. C. Kofmel of Oshawa came a close second with 222 points and third place went to Miss Vera Elkington of Hamilton with a score of -175 points, The Junior Field Class Cham- plonship was won by Jim Rennie of Toronto with 171 points, thus wine ning the Fred Sintw2l Trophy. Jack Adams of Cayuga came second with a score of 108 points, and Dick Mit- chele of Toronto came third with 84 points, It is worth noting that this year's Tournament results show a marked improvement in competitive shoot= ing with higher scores and keener participation all round. Oshawa Fighters Share Honors On Massey Hall Card Toronto, Oct. 1.--(CP)--Hard- punching Pete Zaduk of Guelph found some of his punches 'going into the air at Massey Hall last night but he connected with enough later to win a five-round decision over Harold Jones of Peter. borough before a crowd of 2,200, They fought at 147 pounds. Jones weaved and bobbed for two rounds and then seemed to run out of wind. Billy Goulding of Oshawa came up with a split decision over Man- ny Sobarra of Guelph in the semi- final also at 147 pounds. He made many misses before connecting. The most comical bout was a scheduled three-round heavyweight bout between Wilf Sauve of Sud- bury and lanky, moustached Elgin Knapp of Oshawa. Knapp went down for an eight-count in the first round and finally gut for keeps at 1.10 of the second. Other Results 135 1bs.--Harry Goulding, Oshawa, defeated Mike Zaduk, Guelph, in three rounds, 147 pounds--Ron Parker, Toron- to, decisioned John Orchie, Oshawa, three rounds. 122 pounds--Wes, Hodgins, Toron. to, declsioned Grant McIntyre, Oshawa, three rounds, 122 1bs.--Dave Mitchell, Toronto, decisioned Al Hardsands, Oshawa, in five rounds. 140 pounds--Rolly Mignacca, To- ronto, decisioned Sammy Sauve, Sudbury, three rounds. | 115 pounds--Fred Harding, Osh- | awa, decisioned Bert Baxter, Tor- | onto, three rounds. Inter-Oshawa Cadet League (By Ernest Whiting) BASKETBALL LEAGUE RE-ORGANIZED Sept. 27--The Intra Oshawa Cadet League has been reformed again this year on a much broader and wider scale. While last year there was only five basketball teams, this year there will be seven, Application Before Board As yet, no reply has been received from the Board of Education re- garding the use of the High School gym for League use. Ernest White ing stated at an executive Friday night that he had sent in the league request almost two weeks ago and had talked to Mr. Bunker on the phone about the use of the gym, ! It should be noted that the exe- cutive of the Cadet League were under the impression that the groups who had the gym last year would be given first chance at re- newing their requests. Should the Board of Education turn down the League request, new space will have to be found. Will Go Out of Town "The Army Cadets will go out of town to play if necessary to play sports," sald Ernie Whiting, Army Cadet representative. It is too bad that the teams that formed the first city basketball league may themselves be left withe out a place to play remarked Doug. Knowler, Complaint Against Navy A joint complaint has been launched by the Army, Alr Cadets and A.B.C. against the Sea Cadets for using two "imported" players. The Navy has denied that Walter Auld and Simcoe members "DW." high school teams are imports and say that they joined for Corps reasons, Well don't fight too hard boys,. you may not have a place to play in anyway. Hockey Section Bigger The hockey section of the League wil also have more teams than last, with the Navy probably having the strongest team again, but oh hum, we'll see. i HUNT FOR NAVY VET PROVES UNFRUITFUL Toronto, Oct. 1.--(CP)--Friends of Richard Mansell, 23-year-old for- mer Naval officer who fell from a sloop into Lake Ontario early yes- terday, sald a three-hour aircraft search during the afternoon reveal. ed no trace of the missing man. The aircraft conducted a 15-mile "square search" in excellent visibility, But choppy waves made it difficult to spot. an object on the surface, ST. KITTS RALLY NEAR FINISH TO CATCH 'BELLIES By WILLIAM H. DUMSDAY (Canadian Prees Staff Writer) Toronto, Oct. 1--(CP) -- Maybe there were more exciting lacrosse w-wows when Indians ran bare- oot to found the sport as Canada's national game but since it uired indoor trimmings it's doubtful if two Dominion title contestants ever raced to the wire closer than when 8t, Catharines Athletics edged New Westminster Salmonbellies 11-10 in the current Mann Cup series opener. The St. Catharines section of the 7000 fans which saw the Saints cut loose with a brilliant passing attack to snatch victory in the clos- ing minutes last nignt will talk in barber shops for years about the way their hero Jack (Wandy) Mc- Mahon, moving backwards towards the Western net to see his mates all covered, suddenly swirved to flip the winning goal from over his head. Wandy's important counter -- his second of the night--gave the Ath- letics a one-game lead in the best- of-flve series which finds the teams facing each other again in Maple Leaf Gardens Wednesday night. Despite their spectacular win the Saints will enter the contest only slightly favorites, so impressive were the Salmonbellies who saw a two- goal advantage wiped out as the A's bagged three markers in less than 2% minutes in the final period. Reputedly a smooth-passing ag- gregation the Saints looked like anything else for 53 of the 60 min- utes play. Then their combination attack suddenly caught fire and they scored three goals in as many sweeping pass plays while the Sal- monbellies appeared helpless to block them. The coast crew was behind only once until Wandy McMahon floun- dered in reverse towards their goal to give the Saints the nod. At one time in the third quarter the Sal- monbellies held a four goal advan- tage and they were two counters in front with less than seven minutes to play when the A's ran wild. Each team boasted a triple-goal scorer, Stu Scott pacing the A's and Bill Dickinson, 200-pound defence- man proving poison to the St, Cath- arines goalie with his bullet shots. One big hope the Westerners have to pull on even terms Wednesday is that they don't think the Ath- letics will be able to hold their ace scorer, little Ike Hilderbrand, in closely at every turn the Oshawa Junior hockey star -icuiu ier a... only once in the opener.

Wednesday afternoon's game here is called for 3:30 o'clock sharp. Great Pitcher's Battle Lustig, a burly thick-set husky who looks to be too old for Juvenile ranks, and Don. Gavas, hurled a great battle in Saturday's tilt, Gav- as gave up a total of seven hits, walked four and fanned five batters. Lustig walked six, allowed six hits but struck out eight Oshawa would- be hitters, In their hitting and pitching, the Oshawa Juveniles looked just as good as the famed Toronto Lizzies but the Motor City lads fell down badly with their fielding. Costly errors proved actual "donations" of free runs to the homesters and provided the difference in the total scoring for the two teams, Oshawa had 8 bad bobbles. Oshawa scored first in the sec- ond inning, when Powers walked with one out, stole 2nd and moved to 3rd on an error by Spragge when Souch grounded to 3rd, A double- steal by Souch and Powers let Powers score, Oshawa added an- other in the third frame, McGrath was safe on an error by Cornack and moved to 2nd on a passed ball but got himself doubled off 2nd when Wilson lined. out to the pit- cher, Barnes poled one into right fleld which was dropped by Tep- perman and Barnes went to 2nd, He scored from there on a clean hit by Simpson, who later stole 2nd but was out trying to steal 3rd. Lizzies Fight Back Lizzies, trailing 2-0 going Into their half of the 3rd, came to life as the Oshawa team faltered. Ros- enberg was safe on an error by Souch and then Lustig was thrown out on an error by McArthur as Rosenberg went to 2nd. Shadlesky walked and then Cornack grounded to Wilson at 2nd, who fumbled and Rosenberg scored, Markourtz walk- ed to fill the bases but Hassard grounded to Gavas, forcing Shad- lesky at the plate and Spragge struck out. It was in the 4th inning that the Oshawa orew hit a bad snag. Klein was safe on an error by Wilson and Tepperman singled to right.
