FRIDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1946 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE SEVEN By * Geo. H. Campbell Oshawa Legion won the right to move into the O.AS.A. finals the Inter, "AA" title when they cleaned up their semi-finals series with the Toronto "Irish Vets" in the 4th game of the round, here at Alexandra Park yesterday afternoon, before a mere handful of fans. It was a weird, free-swinging game, with the Oshawa team taking » 13-0 lead In the first two innings, 7 and 6 in the 1st and 2nd, Irish Vets didn't have good pitcher, Smith, 'available and Rutledge, who relieved Long, after 4-straight hits for the first four batters, took a couple of frames to games and 4 innings in ihe other tilt. That's control and in t was & big help for his mates fielded well yesterday and the to get clean hits to score runs, Bob Dionne and Lyle McIntyre Legion at the plate but the entire team hit well in the first frames and again in the 8th, Irish Vets wen down battling gamely or that bad start, the result might have been different. It was and should serve to put the Legion in tip-top shape for round with Hamilton, » % % Leather "Tannery" and Sarnia Imperials will not open thern Ontario O.A.8.A.

At the last minute, a switch was made this series is to be played here at Alexandra g 1 ] § | i We don't know much about the Sarnia softball team but if they cleaned up everything in Western Ontario, they must be a pretty fair club at that, Frankly, we think they'll need to be much better than "pretty fair" if they are to defeat the smooth-working Robson Leather team in this O.AS.A. Southern Ontario final series. Tannery has an especiglly strong fielding team, with defensive play being their strong point and with two top-notch pitchers in Al Hiller and Jack McConkey, one a "stuff" and slow-ball artist and the other featuring a sharp curve and a real fast one, no team in Inter. "A" ranks is going to get too many hits or runs off the Oshawa club. At the plate, Tannery have some reliable hitters and three very dangerous clouters, two of whom, Stark and Gilbert, can break up a ball game anytime with a homer or extra- base blow. It looks as if the Tannery boys are headed for an O.AB.A, championship. At any rate, there'll be a big crowd on hand here to- |, morrow afternoon to see them take on Sarnia in the first game of this series.

DUMSDAY Canadian Press Staff Writer Toronto, Oct. 4.--(OP)--Unless New Westminster Salmonbellies lift themselves off the cushion with a decided jerk tonight they'll watch St. Catharines Athletics gallop to the Dominion lacrosse title in three straight games and square things for the humiliating drubbing they absorbed the same way from Van- couver Burrards a year ago. There's only one thing for sure in the current series which has seen the Saints drub Salmonbellies 11-10 and 18-9--and that is the western- ers can't look any worse than they did Wednesday. Their dul] perform- ance was disappointing to about 7, 700 fans--1,000 more than witnessed the first fray--and unless the Niag- ara Peninsula turns out en masse tonight with hopes of seeing the A's win the ann Cup for the fifth time, the crowd-count will be down. Only once during the contest did Salmonbellies look impressive and that was when they spread out in a tight zone defence while BEd. Downey was serving a major penal- ty. Other than that they gave little protection to Goalie Bill Scuby who pulled up with a lame back--proba- bably from stopping so often to re- trieve the ball from his cage. There's only the odd gripe about officiating in the series and the westerners seem to have cause for annoyance over Downey's five min- ute penalty--the usual sentence for decapitation in this man's game. When the A's starry Jack (Wan- dy) McMahon was given a free shot, Downey chopped at him from behind--Wandy outdid Tami Mau- riellp as he hit the deck but jumped up and laughed when referee Max Peart waved Downey to the cooler. Some western enthusiasts will tell you that if their champions really catch fire they can still be the first invading team to win the Dominion Boxla title in the east. They figure it must be a team slump when even their ace scorer-- Ike Hilderbrand--has been held to a single goal in two contests. | Fights Last Night B The Associated Press ver, Mass. --Francis Leonard, ton, Mass, outpointed 12034, Toronto (10). teve Bellolse, 16115, Jess Mi 5 New York, Pp 13215, Harrisburg (8).

Instead of a bedraggled flock of Red Birds, drooping after a 156- game schedule that included the first tie in major league history, the revived St. Louis Nationl League champs remain completely unawed It by the gentlemen from Boston. Too much occupied by their own struggle with Brooklyn to pay much attention to the Sox, The Cardinals believe they have the lefthanded pitching--and in recent days the hitting too--to give Joe Cronin plenty of headaches. They know Boston must have had plenty of power to flatten all Am- erican League opposition, particu=- larly after the all-star game bout, but they do think they are at a keener competitive edge than a club that has done little more than wait since clinching the pennant, Sept. 13. Cardinal fans do not have much data on clubs that ride home way out in front for only three of the nine. flag winners since 1926 have done it the easy way and two of them did cop the series, The two teams that went down to the final day before settling the issue, Frank- fe Frisch's 1934 Gas House Gang and Billy Southworth's 1942 speedy ew both won the world champion= p. Boston, without any kind of a title at Fenway Park since 1018, is little concerned with the early clinching argument. They never have lost a series and they remem- ber pinty of early Yankee parades that never bothered their post- season form, : With the chips down in a short series, the Cardinals proved against Brookyn they can play like the team most of the experts picked last spring to breeze to the pennant, Terry Moore still favors his left knee and Marty Marion's back ail- ment still bothers his fielding but the smell of that $4,000 winning cut still retains its healing quality. Brooklyn was inclined to pass off Howie Pollet's aching left side as a 'icome on" designed to throw them off guard. Actually it was nothing of the kind. Dyer was uncertain about pitching him Tuesday in the 4-2 opener until as late as 10 min~ utes before game time. His condi- tion is one of the very important guestion marks in all series conjec- res If Pollet feels that his strained side won't bother his control, he will | be the opening game pitcher. If there is any doubt about the mat- ter, Dyer will go with Harry (The Cal) Brecheen, one of the best if not the best "money" pitchers in the game, He is certain to start a lefthander despite Murry Dickson's early success yesterday. The Cards figure they probably will face Tex Hughson in the first game, a welcome relief from left- handers as tough as he may turn out to be, Dickson, a converted re- liefer who never got a starting chance until June 9 and was passed up in the final Dodger series, show- ed the Brooks something in the final 8-4 victory. From the first inning when Brooklyn made two hits count for an early run, until the ninth when they drove him to cover in a rousing three-run upris- ing, Dickson held the home club without a smell of a hit, allowing only one ball to be hit to the out- | 3 field, RED RAIDERS TO OPEN SCHEDULE IN ORILLIA SAT. S-------- The Oshawa Red Raiders Inter- mediate team went through a light workout last night in readiness for their coming game in Orillia. Six new players turned out to last night's practices and at least Dyas, Bidgood, Sutton and Hurrie look quite able to catch a place on the squad. Orillia were defeated in their first league game last Saturday and will be out to chalk up their first win of the season, while on the other hand the Red Raiders are still taking quite a kidding about the Western game and they want to show the Oshawa fans that they are not as bad as it looks. The Red Raiders will not be at full strength for this game as three or more play- ers will be playing softball, How- coach Chas. March still figures he can take this first game, MONTREAL ROYALS TAKE GAME-LEAD IN LI'L WORLD SERIES Montreal, Oct. 4 -- (CP) -- Mont= real's rollicking Royals bounced in- to the lead in the Little World Series baseball classic last night when they pounded out a dozen hits to down Louisville Colonels 5-3 in the fifth game of the best-of-seven series. Royals now lead the series 3-2 and will meet the Colonels to- night in the sixth game. Jackie Robinson, Royals second sacker, produced the game-winning run in the seventh inning last night when he blasted out a triple and scored when Lew Riggs clouted one of Jim Wilson's offerings for a timely double, With two men away in the eighth, Robinson beat out a bunt down the third base line and sent Al Cam- panis home. Southpaw Steve Nagy, of the Royals and Jim Wilson, the start- ing hurlers, failed to see the game through. Little Chet Kehn took over for Royals in the eighth after Nagy issued a free pass to the first man up. Wilson was also wild, walking five men, and was replaced in the top half of the eighth by Harry Kimberlin.

Jrs: Play Lindsay Here Saturday The O.C.V.I. Junior Rugby squad will swing into action tomorrow at Alexandra Park when they play the first home game of their schedule against Lindsay. There will be no transportation difficulties this time to mar the battle and these two teams should put on a great show for the local grid fans as well as the inevitable crowd of faithful school rooters, The Red, Green, and Gold Junior gridders of this year are a greatly improved team over last year and they will prove tough opposition for any team that comes along. They have some fine linemen in the per- sons of Hines, Clarke and Howe. Their backfield shows extremely well on paper with Wilson, Harris, Brabin, Szikszay, Hart and Auld flipping passes and starting the big bucks. Sciuk and Gifford are two of the more promising ends. We could not mention all the players here for some are on another shift from those that we saw in action the other day. The team has a new coach in the person of Jim Carson, one of the Toronto Varsity team's gifts to the Collegiate this year. He is an able coach as may well be seen in the way the hoys run through their plays without a quiver or question-- and they are really a sweet and smooth working team if this re- porter ever saw one. The team went up to Peterbor- ough last week and were downed in an exhibition tilt, when they ar- rived too late to play the regular fixture, 5-0 by the Liftlock City gridders. According to what we heard the referee left early when he thought the Oshawa boys weren't going to arrive and so the game was defaulted, A protest has been voiced by the locals but it is expected that nothing will come of it. The ex. game was payed under the not-so-able refereeing of a pair of the hometown boys and the Collegiate juniors are all muttering under their breath about the next time that they meet Peterborough. It won't be long before the Col- legiate Senior squad goes to work against Peterborough for they are the only other team in the Senior Lakeshore Loop. These two teams have been bitter rivals for a long time, so watch for that opener which will be sometime in the next two weeks, PARKWOOD'S "KINGARVIE"' SETS RECORD le's good Canadian-bred 3-year-old Kingarvie was forced to break a track record at Dufferin Park yes- terday to win the Brookmount from Charlie Hemstead's American-bred filly, Brown Hostess, with Addison Stable's Florencia in third place. It was a horse race all the way with Brown Hostess taking the lead from Kingarvie after the break. Cadency, which eventually finished fourth, and Stage Star went along with the pace, Kingarvie dropped back to fourth, made a move on the backstretch with Brown Hostess still holding the lead. In the stretch, Kingarvie was forced to the limit to get his head in front and shave two-fifths of a second off 3 | the track record. Kingarvie ran the seven furlongs in 1.28 1-5. The pre- vious record of 1.28 3-5 was made by Top Boots carrying 107, eight less than the McLaughlin gelding shoul dered. Florencia ran a good race, coming from far back to be third. Toronto, Oct. 4;--Parkwood Stab- AA FINALS Grab 13-0 Lead In 1st and 2nd, Then Hang On To Win 18-10 In 4th Game of Semi-Final Series Pitcher and One Out- fielder, Toronto Irish Vets Get Off To Bad Start and Fail To Catch Up -- Visitors Make Gallant Bid -- Heavy Hitting Features Free- Scoring Contest -- Le- gion Opens Finals In Hamilton, Saturday Oshawa Legion advanced to the Provincial O.AB8.A. Intermediate "AA' chcampionship finals, against "1847 Rogers" of Hamilton, when they defeated Toronto Irish Vets, 18-10, in a free-swinging tilt played before a handful of spectators at Alexandra Park yesterday after- noon, This was the 4th game of the semi-final series, actually a re-play of the 3rd sudden-death game, which was played here last Satur- day and resulted in an 8-inning, 11-11 tie, Oshawa Legion opens the Inter, "AA" finals for the Ontario title, in Hamilton on Saturday, with the return game here next Saturday. Grabbed Early Lead Toronto "Irish Vets" actually lost the geries last Saturday when they lost the services of "Lefty" Smith, their ace hurler, who suffered strained ligaments in the 2nd in- ning of the 3rd game. He was un- able to make the trip yesterday and without their regular pitcher, the "Irish Vets" didn't have it, defen- sively. Just to make matters worse, Green, their reliable right-fielder, was also unable to make the trip yesterday and this resulting weak- ness in their outfield greatly aided Oshawa's scoring bid in the early stages. Long, who pitched most of Sat- urday's game here in a relief role, started on the mound here yester- day agter Oshawa had retired the Irish in the first frame in 123 or- der, Long didn't last long. The first three Oshawa batters, McIntyre, Cook and Hobbs, each hit a single and then Bob Dionne doubled to left-centre and with the score 2-0 and nobody out, Rutledge, a right-hander, took over the mound chore. He got the next batter out, Murphy in a pop-up, walked Jack- son and then fanned Lott. He walk- ed Andrews to fill the bases and then hit a wild streak, walking Wil« son and McIntrye in succession for two more runs, A long fly to right, by Cook, was dropped and then Hobbs popped out to the catcher but 7 runs had scored in this first- inning parade. 13-0 Lead In Two Frames The Oshawa gang took right up where they had left on, in the sec- ond stanza, scoring 6 more runs on four hits, two walks and a couple of bad outfield errors, A double by Hobbs and Tom Murphy's long ho- mer were the big blows in this ral- ly, which' jumped Oshawa's lead to 13-0 at the end of the 2nd inning. After that, the Legion boys took easy for a while--a little too easly. Rutledge tightened up and for the next four innings, allowed only three scattered hits and no more runs while fanning four batters himself. Visitors Fight Back The "fighting" Irish Vets showed plenty of spirit when they started in to whittle down Oshawa's 13-run lead, They started with three runs in the 3rd. Jackson dropped a pop- fly and Long singled with a bunt. Dossey bunted to load the bases. laGrand flied out to centre and then Legion threw the ball around to jet Turville and Long both score. McNaughton struck out but Gibson singled to score Dossey. In the 4th, the Irish added two more runs. White singled to open and then with one out, Turville sine gled to left and Andrews errored on the pick-up so that White scored and Turville went to 3rd and scored from there when Long flied out to Murphy in right. Murphy dropped an easy catch when La Grand flied out to right to 3000 SEATS AT 600 SEATS Minus Their Regular tas seccnsersaciesee SECTIONS 3 & 4 EACH SIDE open the 5th and right there, the Legion boys decided they had better get serious again and their defen- ' ing The tee-off style of hitting con- tinued, Oshawa got one in the 7th when Dionne flied to left and Mc- Naughton dropped it. A passed ball and Murphy's single scored Dionne to make it 14-8. Bob Wilson retired the side with out & hit or run in the 8th but we mention it because with two men out, he issued a walk to Turville, the first walk issued by Wilson, the Oshawa pitcher, in the entire series and he pitched all but 4 innings of the 4 games. ' Oshawa cinched it in their half of the 8th with a 4-hit barrage that netted as many runs. With one out, McIntyre doubled and then Cook singled to centre and LaGrand let the ball get past him so that both McIntyre and Cook scored. Hobbs singled and then went to 2nd when shortstop Dossey threw badly to 1st. Bob Dionne got his third double of the game to score Hobbs and he came home himself on a passed ball and an infield out at 1st, to make it 18-8. The Irish showed they had still some spirit left when they scored two in their*oth inning dy®ag spurt. Dossey opened with a double and then LaGrand singled hard to cen- tre and both scored when Cook let the ball get past him, McNaughton popped up to the catcher, Gibson flied to foul territory in deep left and Andrews made a fine running catch and then Ramsay grounded to Dionne and was thrown out by & Bob Dionne, who did practically nothing at the plate in the previous two games after almost winning the first game single-handed, was Osh- awa's hitting star yesterday, He had three doubles and a sigsle and crossed the plate four times in six trips to it. > Lyle McIntyre kept pace with Dionne with four hits; one a dou= ble, as well as a walk in six trips to the plate. Murphy and Hobbs had three hits while Cook had a couple. For the Irish Vets, Dossey, with a double and two singles, was their best batter. LaGrand, Gibson and White each had two safe blows. Rutledge struck out 8 batters af- ter he found his stride but he walk- ed seven and five of them crossed the plate for runs. 'Defensively, Dionne was a stande ont at shortstop although the Oshe awa infield played well all around, with McIntyre doing a smart catching job. Cook and Andrews both pulled off some sparkling out- field snatches too. Ramsay, in the outfield for the visitors, was thelr fielding star, with Dossey, Turville and catcher Gibson being the others to share the limelight. Score by Innings: R. H. E.
