The O.C.V.1.

[Last night, at 2 2 TOUun: beat for the O. ; ic . Oakwood Stadium, the Oshawa Jr. Red Raiders took another white- washing from the Argos. The Junior "Scullers", with several ' players just about ready to step up to "Big Four" competition, were too ' good for the Oshawa boys. Red Raiders were good in mid-field and their forward passing was excellent but they found the last ten yards to touchdown territory too tough to negotiate against the powerful Argo Ine and tackling dept. a + Oshawa's Intermediate "AA" team came to the end of the 1946 0.A8.A. trail, with the title in sight, yesterday after- noon at Alexandra The Canadian Legion Branch 43 team took a 11-0 lacing from the Hamilton "Rogers Bros." team, as May- nard, the Hamilton mound ace, turned in a no-hit, no-run game. Maynard was as wild as a hawk, walked six and would have walked as many more if the Oshawa boys would have given him the chance but they were too anxious and ey were swinging at all kinds of bad pitches, especially high ones and then letting easy 3rd strikes go up the middle without taking their bat oft the shoulder. Maynard fan- ned 10 Oshawa batters and hell never get 10 strikeouts easier. Of- fi vely, the Oshawa team just didn't have it yesterday afternoon, Jona only hit four to the outfield and all were caught, Defensively, the locals committed 9 errors, handed Hamilton a 5-0 lead in the 2nd and 3rd innings. After that it was a fair game until the 9th, but Legion couldn't do anything at the plate. Bob Wilson gave up only four scattered hits in the first 8 frames, so it certainly wasn't his fault. ve 0 4 Scheduled to start at 1.30 o'clock, because of the football game, the game didn't get going until right at three o'clock, due to the late arrival of the Hamilton téam, who insisted that they had been told the game was called for three o'clock. This we know was false but it's just one of those things. The Hamilton team proved a very smart ball club but the prestige of their sponsors was certainly not improved by the late arrival of the team. On the day's play, there was no comparison between the teams. Legion were pitifully weak at the plate and turned in their worst game in the field since entering the playdowns. However, they were beaten by a slightly better team and they need have no regrets, And so ends Oshawa's 1946 softball season but it has been one of the best yet, despite the lack of a Provincial title to make it completely successful. Every one of the Oshawa O.AS.A. entries made a very good showing this year and proof that Oshawa is a real hot-bed of softball'and one ot the best in the country is shown in that this city was represented in every available O.ASA, bracket from Juvenile right up to Senior "A", includ- ing Junior, Inter. "A", Inter. "AA" and Senior "B", *>. * » » The World Series may be almost over but the Oshawa baseball nship is still hanging in the balance. As a matter of fact, Dairy, the two O.M.B.A, finalists, tangl Alexandra Park in the second game and "Cokes" scraped out a 2-1 decision to tie up the series. A brilliant 5-hit pitching performance by "Ding" Gavas, who chalked up 13 strikeouts in only 7 frames, was the deciding factor. Greatly improved by his games in 0.B.A. com~ . petition, Gavas showed to real advantage but he had to be that good to win for MoGrath for Beaton's was almost as effective. He walked less but allowed one more hit. At that, both of the Cokes' runs were produced on errors although one would have scored anyway. Bea- ton's had runners on 3rd a couple of times, including in the 7th, but couldn't get that one more hit needed off Gavas, The 3rd game _ should be a sizsler. . *» + + » Oshawa Generals took to the ice yesterday "Thanksgiving Day" morning at ten o'clock and Coach Charlie Conacher had 13 hands out for the initial workout, with several others expected to show before this week has progressed very fair. "Phil" Samis and "Tke" Hildebrand are gloating--it seems that away back last spring they pred! practice for the 1946-47 season would be on "October 14" and although it was supposed to have been held about Oct. 7th or 8th---yesterday was Oct. 14, The two chipper Generals aren't merely gloating about hitting the date correctly--it seems that at the same time, they predicted that not only would the first practice be on Oct. 14th but that the Oshawa Generals would win he Memorial Cup in 1947 and s0 now, having already been proven half-right, they are out to make the other half of their prediction come true. +o ph 4 +* Louis Crowdis and Al Reddoch had the big pads on yesterday morning between the pipes and this looks like Oshawa's goal-mind- ing dept. Phil Samis, Eric Pogue, Ike Hildebrand, Ross Lowe and Leo Curik, all of last year's Generals, are back on hand and full of the usual fire. New defenseman who showed up well are "Baldy" MacKay of Port Arthur, a husky who is going to make his presence felt--and we mean just that. Bruce Ci on, the blonde-haired rearguard man with St. Kitts' Falcons last year and formerly with Mariboros, is another addition who should keep his end up while "Bud" McPherson, the Edmonton skyscraper, can play defense if necessary for he could reach half-way across the rink almost but he is also rated as a fair left-winger. Bill Dunn, last year with St. Mike's Junior "B" team is another defense Don Bauer, centre with last year's team, isn't out yet--still in hospital with a touch of strep. throat while Geo. Scholes, another St. Mike's "B" player, is expected here tonight or "omorrow. Ppp Ray Cerisino, a right-handed centre-ice player from Port Arthur, Tapidly recovering from an appendix operation staged late this summer, is showing up well al but he and MacKay of Port Arthur are touted as good and we expect to see something there, and of course the former Generals are known. Two others. took our eye, Chuck Blair, a rather small but very smooth-working right-winger who hails from Porcupine and John Milliard, a left-handed shot, from Kenora, who was on the Pacific Coast last year. Dick Gamble of Moncton, Arthur Sulli- van of Toronto, a rugged type, and Gene Wales of Oshawa were others trying out and still two or three other newcomers are expected this week. Milliard skates with his head up and impressed as knowing a little about left-wing or centre while Blair is fast and has a snap-fire shot that moves. How they'll shape up is hard to say but we've seen other Gen- erals' teams look worse in their initial practice and they have developed later to Memorial Cup Champs. icted the first' Maynard Gives No-Hit, No-Run Performance As Roger Bros. Win 11-0 Victory Over Legion Oshawa Squad Turns In Poor Defensive Game To Hand Hamilton Plenty of Free Runs -- Weakness At Plate No Help Either -- Visitors Get No Earned Runs Until 9th Hamilton's 1847 Rogers Bros. softball] team will meet Sault Ste. Marie in the All-Ontario series for the OASA. Intermediate "AA" championship. Hamilton "Silvers" eliminated Oshawa Legion in the Soythern Ontario final series in two-straight games, taking the return tilt here yesterday afternoon in convincing fashion, 11 to 0. No.-Hit, No-Run Game Maynard's no-hit, no-run game was the deciding factor. The Hamil- ton hurler was in rare form, es- pecially in the pinches. Not detrac- ting from his fine game, for the Oshawa crew had nothing that looked like a good hit, the fact still remaing that the Legion boys turn- ed in their poorest game of the season at the plate and just about their worst display in the field also, At the plate they helped May- nard greatly, He was very wild in spots, couldn't find the plate any more than once in four pitches but the Oshawa batters were guilty of at a lot of bad pitches, 'usually high ones and then to make matters worse, they would suddenly "freeze" and watch a 3rd strike go sailing right up the middle. Maynard chalked up 10 strike- outs and a half-dozen of these were on "called" third strikes with two or three more on swings at bad pitches. However, when it counted Maynard had it and the Oshawa team, with the exception of Bob Dionne three times and Lewis Lott once, didn't. hit a ball out of the infield. The four that did go out to 4he "garden" were all caught. Closest Oshawa got to a hit was a nice bunt by Jack Hobbs in the 6th inning but a low throw by the 3rd-baseman pulled the Hamilton 1st-sacker off his base just as the base-umpire was about to call the runner out and so it went as an error to Lewis, the 3rd-baseman. Gave Away Runs Apparently suftering from stage- fright, it was the biggest crowd they have seen all season, the Le- gion team booted the ball badly in the early stages to hand Hamil ton a 5-0 lead. In the second stanza, Bob Wilson bgot into a wild streak and walked Mayhard, the first batter. Walkow- ski then popped up but Vansicle drew a walk also. Nerpaw drew a walk but a bad throw in the infield let Maynard come hcme. Garbutt got an infield single to score Van- sicle then Armstrong grounded to Jackson and the Oshawa 3rd base- man made a smart play, throwing to the plate where MacIntyre tag- ged Nerpaw and the return throw to Jackson let him get -Garbutt coming from 2nd, for a pretty dou- ble-play. In the 3rd frame, Oshawa blew wide open. With one out, Lewis was safe on) a fumble by Dionne. Downey grounded to Dionne and Lott dropped the easy double-play toss. Maynard then flied to centre, where Cook made a beautiful catch. Lewis scored after the catch. Wal- kowski singled to centre and Cook's throw to the plate was late for Downey but MacIntrye fumbled it, then threw wild to 3rd and Walkow- ski kept right on going to score, making it 5-0. Oshawa Steadies The Legion team steadied up af- ter that and until the 9th, gave the visitors a real battle all the way. Bob Wilson pitched good enough ball to win if his mates had got him some runs. He allowed only four scattered hits in the first eight frames but those errors, three in the 3rd, gave Hamilton their .5-0 lead. In the 9th, Wilson weakened and the visitors scpred five runs.on four hits a walk and an error. Gurney singled. Lewis popped up to Mac- Intyre, who injured his ankle on the play and had to leave the game. Waddell took over the catching du- ties. Downey singled scoring Gurney. Another passed ball but Downey on 3rd and then Maynard popped out, with two out, Walkowski singled, scoring Downey. Vansicle walked and then Dionne errored on Ner- paw's grounder, letting Walkowski score and Vansicle to 3rd, from where he too when Garbutt singled. Nerpaw also scored on this drive. Had Some Chances Jackson was safe on an error and Wilson walked to open the 3rd in- ning but the next three Oshawa batters failed to get the ball out of the infield, In the 4th, with two out, Lott and Waddell both walked and moved into scoring position via the stolen-base method but Jack- son fanned to end the inning. There were two on in the 6th and again in the 7th but each time the Oshawa batters failed to click against Maynard's cool delivery. Downey with a double and a sin- gle, was the only Hamilton batter more than one safe hit off RHE .... 023000105--11 8 3 000 000 000--0 0 9 ss; Lewis, 3b; Downey, lb; May- nand, p; Walkowski, ¢; Vansicle, 3b; Nerpaw, rf; Garbuth, cf; Arm- strong, If.

COCA COLAS NIP BEATON'S TO TIE SERIES The Oshawa Minor Baseball As- sociation championship finals were resumed on Monday morning, after an intermission of several weeks and behind a nifty 5-hit pitching chore by "Ding" Gavas, Coca Colas eked out a 2-1 victory over Beaton's Dairy, to tie up the final series at one win apiece, These two smart young baseball squads will settle their 1946 Oshawa Minor Baseball championship this next week-end in a sudden-death game, third of the series. Winners Scored Early The game was a neat pitcher's battle between Gavas for "Cokes" and MsGrath of the Beaton's Dalry team. Coca Colas opened the scor=- ing in the first inning when Mac- Gregor singled, stole 2nd, advanced to 3rd on an error by Turnbull and scored when Wilson doubled to left, with one out. "Cokes" got their second run in the third frame, when with one out, Badgley singled 'to centre, advanced to 2nd as Locke fumbled and then stole third. Wilson singled to centre to score Badgley and he moved to 8rd when Simpson came through with the third-straight hit of the inning but Canning grounded out to the box and Gillette rolled to the 1st baseman to end the inning. From that point on, Beaton's Dairy outplayed Coca Colas but the best they could do was get one run back. Cokes didn't get a man on base for the last three frames as McGrath pitched great ball and got good support from his mates. Beaton's Dairy got their lone tally in the 6th. Locke opened the frame with a walk and stole second. Phillips and Taylor both struck out but McGrath singled to - score Locke, Several Close Calls Beaton's Dairy threatened several times and only Gavas stopped them from scoring for he usually came up with a strikeout or two whenever danger threatened. In all he fanned 13 batters in only 7 innings, for a creditable mond performance, He allowed 5 hits and walked five. Beaton's had a couple on in the first on an error and walk but Wal- lace and Powers were struck out. In the 3rd, Brabin singled, stole 2nd and 3rd with only one out but Wallace popped up to Gavas and Powers fanned. In the 4th with two out, Taylor walked and moved to 3rd when Gavas errored on McGrath's bid but then Turnbull was fanned to end that threat. In the 7th, Beaton's Dairy made a great bid to pull the game out of the fire. Souch singled with one out and then stole 2nd. But he was tagged going to 3rd on an attempted steal and on the next play, Mac- Gregor errored on a grounder by Wallace, Wallace stole both 2nd and 3rd as Powers was drawing a walk and then with the tying and winning runs on 3rd and 2nd bases respectively, Gavas fanned Locke to end the game, Souch had two hits and two walks for a perfect day at the plate while Wilson had a double and single in three trips to lead the Coca Colas at the dish.

Junior Grid Squad Loses to Trinity In The Rain Homesters Play Better In the Mud To Register 10-0 Decision -- Osh- awa Students Unable To Use Their Forward Passes By BOB RIFE ; The weatherman wasn't in favour of having a good day for rugby Saturday but the game between Trinity College and the O.C.V.L Juniors went on as scheduled and the score at the final whistle was 10-0 for the Port Hope team. The Homesters were strictly a mud team if we ever saw one and they further proved very convince ingly to the Oshawa Collegians that they in turn, were just a mediocre team without the aid of a dry field which helps their great passing plays. Trinity Now On Top The win puts the Trinity boys way out in front of the Lakeshore group with three straight wins. It was Oshawa's second loss including the one defaulted game with the Peterborough squad. The rain was bad at the begin- ning of the tussle and towards the last quarter the water came down in sheets that made the field very dark and slippery and fit only for plunges over the centre of the line. It was the third down that sent the locals to their defeat as time and again they fafled to kick out of their own zone on the last down probably thinking that they could make their yards some other way. The trouble was that the ether way just didn't work and many times the locals were giving the ball to the Trinity team deep in the Osh- awa end, just on this account. Trinity capitalized on this weak- ness quite a few times as they kicked to the deadline or fell on loose balls behind the line and ac- counted for over half of their total points, The first point came early in the second half when Goodbody, the fullback of Trinity, kicked from the Oshawa twenty and scored a single point. Oshawa failed to get out of their zone and on two plays were thrown for losses that put them back of their own five yard line. On their last down a bad snap accounted for a loose ball and the Trinity team were on their toes as they grabbed the ball and scored the first major point. Thompson was the sharp-eyed player that made the play and the score was 6-0 for Trinity. The convert was no good and the score stayed as it was. \ ent Oshawa got away to a bad start as the kick-off went 'astray and again the Trinity team were in the. Oshawa end running their "T" formation end runs that worked so well. They got to the Oshawa thirty-yard line before the play bogged down in front of the. great play of Hines, Clarke and Maeson. Trinity still had possession though and they made use of the fact by kicking another single 'point with Goodbody again doing the honours. 0.C.V.I. Fails to Click The O.C.V.I. team then started to pick up their feet and they look- ed good for the first time in the game as first Hart, and then Turn- bull would plunge forward for first downs. The play got as far as the Trinity thirty-five and then slowed and then on another bad third down play the locals lost the ball and Trinity began to march. They brought the ball right back to the Oshawa twenty and were ready for a major tally when they fumbled in the backfield and lost possession. Auld and Hart then teamed up and ran the ball back into the Trin- ity zone right at the half-time mark. Right from the half time kick- off the Oshawa team were pushed back to their own end till finally with their backs to the wall they got a bad snap and: the Trinity ends were into the action to snag the ball carrier behind the goal Iine for a safety touch, and two points making it 9-0 for them. After that the Oshawa boys seemed to get a little down-hearted what with the score, the rain and all and soon they were driven to their own twenty where Trinity punted into the end :one and iors and that was also the three- quarter time mark. From then on in the game things started to look up for the Oshawa team as Wilson seemed to get his kicks going and that backfield of Skea, Szikszay, Hart and Auld kept on even terms with the enemy. Turnbull, who came on in the early moments of the quarter, also helped Zone. Buchanon, Sciuk and Norman were all good in the dying minutes of the game as they started to hit hard and often to stop the Trinity plays before they started. The game ended after an exchange of kicks with the final score remaining at 10-0 for Trinity. Boston Red Sox Still Favoured To Take It All By Jack Hand world championship and $127,739 awaits the winner today as Dave (Boo) Ferris, the amazing Boston Red Sox sophomore, opposes pint- sized Murray Dickson of St. Louis World Series. National League prestige, rocked to its foundations by the all-star game rout, has made a remarkable recovery in the Red Birds' split of the first six games but the power- laden Bostons remain the oddmak- ers favorite at a 13 to 20 price. Expect 35,000 Another capacity crowd of 35,000 is expected to pack Sportsman's Park. Ferriss' 4-0 shutout victory in the third game and his 25-6 regular season win record give the Sox an edge over Dickson, a renovated bullpen artist who piled up most of his 15 decisions since his first start- ing chance June 7. On top of Ferriss' past perform- ance chart that includes a Series win over Dickson, there is a solid suspicion that the Sox, who never have lost a series, are due to break out at least once with a slurge of extra base blows. Pitching Records Seven Card pitchers have given fewer earned runs and pitched more complete games than the 10 Sox hurlers used by manager Joe Cron= Only in the game Ferriss worked did the Red Sox show a marked superiority. All season long the 24- year-old righthander from Shaw, Miss, has been noted for pitching Just hard enough to win whether it was 1-0 or 10-9. He has been what Cronin happily describes as a "winning pitcher." Detractors have pointed out that he does not have a real blazing fast ball but his 21 freshman victories and 25 wins this season provide a mouth-shutting rebuttal. Unpredictable Eddie Dyer's Cardinals have been an unpredictable lot since spring training, yet when backed up against the wall they have fought back magnificently. 'That is why if Ferriss does give the Sox the pitching edge. Dyer's closing pitcher, Dickson, often has been called a "righthand ed Brecheen," although he really does not have as much "stuff" as the cat-like southpaw who kept the boys in the Series with two import- -ant 'triumphs. Reserves Aplenty If either Dickson, a wiry 30-year old campaigners from Leavenworth, Kans, or Ferriss falters the bull pen will be loaded with starting pitchers, George Munger and Brecheen will be ready for St. Louis and Tex Hughson and Joe Dobson awaiting a Sox distriss call.

"The Cat" Wins Again for Cards Forces 7th Game" St. Louis, Oct. 15.--Pitching cour- ageously in the clutch, Harry (The Cat) Brecheen squared St. Louis Cardinals with Boston Red Sox at three games each in the World Ser- ies Sunday when once again he stilled the Bosox bats to win the sixth contest, 4-1. Brecheen, a slim, little lefthander with a roundhouse curve and plenty of heart, pitched his way out of several holes as he blew down the Red Sox with a sterling seven-hitter and brought his team even with the favored Am- erican League champions, It was an early birthday present to himself, The thin-faced tosser from Broken Bow, Okla. will be 31 tomorrow, It sent the baseball classic the full seven-game distance. It was the third time the Cards had roared back to square the series--and the second time Brecheen accomplished the feat. It was tougher this time than it was before when, as Sunday, he bested Mickey Harris. That time he had superb control as he rambled to an easy four-hit shutout. Sunday they hopped on him for two hits in each of the first two innings, and the home crowd of 35,768, sitting hopefully in the warm, bright sun- light, felt certain that the Cat wouldn't be around too long. He fooled them--and he also fooled the Bosox. His control was shaky, but Brecheen hung on inning after in- ning. The only damage resulted from the roaring bat of big Rudy York, The Cherckee slugger who won two games with home run blows, rapped a seventh inning triple and scored the only Boston run on an outfield fly. . So, inning on inning, the Red Sox walked up to the plate confi- dent that this was the one where they'd knock him out. But when it was all over he had even forced York to end it. The Cat threw the bulky first baseman a double play ball in the ninth inning and the Cardinals swept happily into Tues- day's wirdup game, ..MOTORISTS.. Inspect and test your battery regularly!
