To Tle PLATE i CE g Oo " T Bo H. NAPSHOTS Como ; This afternoon at 3.30 o'clock, at Alexandra Park, there'll be. an Ontario playoff baseball game that should be worth seeing. Oshawa's good little Juvenile team, having conquered Peterboro and Owen Sound, are now tangled up with the famous Toronto "Lizzies" in the Provincial semi-finals, 0.B.A. Juvenile "A" series. The "Lizzies won 8-5 in the first game on Saturday in Toronto but the Oshawa kids hope to even up the count with a victory this afternoon on their home diamond. The local youngsters have improved greatly in recent weeks and their rooters insist they'll turn back "Lizzies" this afternoon and tie up the round. * + + Oshawa Legion staged a sensational rally in the 7th and 8th innings to pull up with a 11-11 tie and so survive in the O.A.8.A. Inter. "AA" semi-finals, here at Bathe Park Saturday afternoon. The Toronto boys were far out in front and looked to have the series cleaned up but their pitched weakened badly and a 6-run rally in the 7th put Oshawa in the running then Bob Wilson homered in the 8th, with two out, to tie it up-- a few seconds after the umpires had announced that the eighth would be the last inning--due to darkness. Irish Vets and Legion will play the re-play of this 3rd sudden-death game, up at Alexandra Park on Thurs- day afternoon, at 4.00 o'clock and it's to be hoped the game attracts a big crowd. Legion, idle for about five weeks after ousting Peterboro, are getting back into stride and many local softball fans feel that they'll be playing a better brand of ball tomorrow afternoon in this crucial game than they have played here yet. They were good in the first game and if they can come up with a good defensive display and some hits in the right spots, they should be able to turn back the peppery "Irisn Vets" from Toronto and so advance to the O.A8.A. Intermediate "AA" finals, against Hamilton. Smith, ace hurler for the Irish Vets, was forced out of the game here Saturday in the 2nd inning with a leg injury but he'll be ready for action here tomorrow afternoon. > + » Robson Leather "Tannery" team, right now Oshawa's best bet to bring a Provincial title here this summer, go to New Toronto this afternoon for the second game of their 0.A.S.A. Inter, "A" semi-final series. Jack McConkey will face the Sully's Movers today and should be able to clean up this series in two-straight. However, if New Toronto wins and ties up the series, the 3rd and deciding game will be played on Friday, likely on a neutral diamond, in the cast end of Toronto--unless the two teams decide to toss for "home grounds. The winners are booked to open the Southern Ontario finals, up in Sarnia, on Saturday. " 9 + » Mayfair Lanes were eliminated on Saturday. They dropped a 13-3 decision in Toronto's Wanless Park to the Fire Fighters. McCarroll, ace hurler for the Firemen, was in good form against the Oshawa team and turned them back consistently for the first six frames. Mayfairs committed the unpardonable sin of not turning in a score-book on their elimination game so we are unable to pass along much more information. Ant SO dT Oshawa's rugby teams got into action on Saturday and took a rest on Monday night, in due course. The rain last night kept them indoors again, which will give the boys a chance to recuperate. Three Oshawa grid teams were in action and not a single point was scored for Oshawa. The O.C.V.I. Junior team was late getting to Peterboro and had the game called a "default." They then played an exhibition game and were beaten 5-0. Here at Alexandra Park, the Junior Red Raiders were blanked by the strong Argo Juniors 17-0 but' the locals made a fair showing, although outweighed all down the line-up, +*> » + » The Inter. "Red Raiders" took quite a lacing up in London but perhaps it should be explained that the 91-0 score was the result of great intent, The Western U. grid management used about four full teams, with every player trying to impress his coach and catch a place as a regular on one of the Western teams. The Oshawa boys were short-handed (several of their players are still in softball playdowns) and they were always facing a fresh Western team. The Western grid fans were chanting "We Want a Hundred" -- which hints that they certainly didn't ease up at any stage against the weary Oshawans. In their own Inter. O.R.F.U. group, the Red Raiders will be holding their own, make no mistake about that. oop Py Quite a lot of Oshawa lacrosse fans and former players, took in the first. game of the Mann Cup finals on Monday night. They - state that "Ike" Hildebrand, top scorer of the British Columbia League, appears to be in great shape. He only got one goal but he'll be harder fo keep under control in the second game tonight. St. Kitts won a sensational victory but many predict that this series will likely go the limit. Given the same build-up that the Memorial Cup finals receive, the Mann Cup playoffs cach year could easily put lacrosse back in the foreground of Canadian sport -- but / tly "the boys" behind the scenes do not kmow how to go about it and the "press" takes only a mild interest also.

IRISH VETS AND OSHAWA LEGION SETTLE IT THURS. Lacrosse Award Recalls Times Of Great Coach By W. M. GLADISH (Canadian Press Staff Writer) Toronto, Oct, 2 -- (CP) -- When anybody talks of field lacrosse, there comes a recollection of a famous sportsman, Jimmy Murphy, who lived the sport, in season and out, until his death a decade or more ago. $The name of the jovial Irishman cropped up in the sport news re- cently with the formal announce- hment by the Ontario Lacrosse As- sociation of the award of the Jimmy Murphy Memorial Trophy. The token, presented annually to the game's outstanding player, went to Gordon Gair of the Barrie-Lake- shore team. When the presentation was made at Maple Leaf Gardens here one could almost see the jovial Irish- man, with twinkling eye, right there with the principals. But there was no Maple Leaf Gardens in his day. It was the old Mutual Street Arena where, between lacrosse sea- sons, Jim used to coach the colorful St. Michael's senor hockey team. Born in Cornwall, Ont. noted home of the summer sport, Murphy soon caught lacrosse fever under the tutelage of P. J. Lally, dean of the game for generations, and mov- ed to Toronto eventually where he took over the Toronto Lacrosse Club of the National Lacrosse Union. The Torontos played on the Rose- dale ground where, for games, Mur- phy established himself in a pigeon- hole window in the third floor of the clubhouse, long since disap- peared. He shouted his instructions to the Blue Shirts through a mega- phone. Murphy's vigorous coaching added both color and enthusiasm. Exciting Times There was excitement when the Murphy voice boomed from the clubhouse eaves. "Look at that! It's murder! Ah, look at that!" he'd shout when some rough-and- ready Shamrock from Montreal happened to hit Billy Fitzgerald or Eddie Kalls. "Did jou see that?" the voice screamed at the referee. Naturally, the partisans took up the cry -- which was what Jim wanted. Murphy virtually made the 13th man on the field. As one looks back, Murphy was, in his day, perhaps the fore-runner of that hockey boadcaster, Foster Hewitt, with his "He shoots! He scores!" Only Mur- phy has just a mere megaphone. Except for the three hours of a week-end match, Murphy was the most congenial of spirits. He ranked with the best as a raconteur, whose stories were spiced with Irish wit which he, himself, enjoyed as much as his audience, Like other sport veterans of the past generation, he did not take kindly to boxla, Great Hockey Man Also As for hockey, Jim Murphy as- sembled as great a crew of Irish Greats as ever stepped on ice in the original Toronto St. Michael's of senior brand. They swept through to championships regularly, thanks partly to his astute selection of promising players and also to his manner of coaching in seven-man hockey. There, too, the basis of his method was "Get the odd man up there when we've got the puck." Murphy smoked little, drank less and remained a celibate throughout his long and vigorous life. They used to say, however, that Jim was married to sport, GPORT SNAPSHOTS well-known Ontario golfer and donor of the Branscombe Cup, popular Eastern Ontario golf trophy, passed away Sunday in Picton . . .

Howie Pollet Hurls Cards To First Win' By JACK HAND En youte to Brooklyn, Oct. 2 -- (AP)--Howie Poilet's heady-pitch-. ing job against Brooklyn appears to have aroused the sluggish St. Louis Cardinals to a World Series pitch that could send them ay past the Dodgers in two straigh! baseball games. Nobody on the club is making pre- dictions about. what will happen at Ebbets Field when baseball's first three-game play-off series resumes tomorrow, but the Red Birds are & loose confident ball club after their 4-2 opening victory at Louis' yesterday. Enos Slaughter's great peg from right field that nipped Bruce Ed- wards trying to go from first to third on Howie Schultz' seventh- inning single probably saved the ball game. At least manager Eddie Dyer of the Red Birds thinks it did. Three hits by rookie catcher Joe Garagiola who drove in half the winners' runs was another highly- important factor in the all-import- ant first game win. Not since the Cards left Boston Sept. 19 had they cut loose wtih a hitting attack like they showed the Brooks' five pitchers. Only Stan Musial's seventh-inning triple was for extra bases but there were hits at timely points. Pollet's perfect performance pro- vided the big lift in the Cards' suc- cess and must have been discoure aging to the Brooks who had taken heart from the news that the Cubs had knocked out the ace southpaw in his last two previous starts, The phychological effect of the lefthander's return to his mid-sea- son form was even more important than the triumph itself. It showed the Red Birds that their No. 1 boy was himself again and assured them in their own minds they were the same club that had been able to take Brooklyn all season. Manager Durocher's selection of Ralph Branca to hurl the vital op- ener backfired when the Birds combed him for six hits and three runs before he gave way to Kirby Higbe in the third. Following Higbe were Hal Gregg, Vic Lombardi and finally Rube Melton. sity presidents." Section there was only one shut-out, handed to Karn's by Hayden Macdon=- ald's..

Little World Series Resumes in Montreal By STUART NEBBS (Canadian Press Staff Writer) Montreal, Oct. 2--(CP)--Southern drawls will be quite the thing around Montreal for the next few days. The reason? Louisville Col- onels, American Association baseball champions, with a strong following, are in town to resume their Little World Series with Montreal's In- ternationals, . The Colonels, sporting a 2-1 edge in the best-of-seven series from the first three games played at Louisville blew into town chuck full of confi- dence following two straight victor- ies over the highly-touted Royals who took just about all the honors there were in the International League. Three games are scheduled here with the first contest tonight, wea- ther permitting, followed by games Fhursday and Friday, if necessary. The southerners, used to playing in sunny clime, found the 60-degree temperature of the last game at Louisville definitely on the chilly side. Matter of fact, the fans, to warm themselves, were burning their programs in the stands. » That being the case, unless the weather changes here, the Colonels will probably appear in the lineup garbed in parkas and mittens as yesterday's reading in Montreal was 33 degrees, one above the freezing point.
