Pct Point Anne hurler was nicked for Brook nine solid hits and the Oshawa gang bunched their blows for the runs they collected. Meulemeester fanned six batters in the first four frames, striking out the side in the 4th. Bennett, first man up in the 6th, doubled for Point Anne but Hunter popped up, Maracle fanned and Genereux flied to centre. In the 9th, the veteran Murney Green, pinch-hitting for |p Maracle, got a single with one out but was forced by Genereux and ~ not a Point Anne batter was able to reach 3rd base. Helping Meulemeester get his shut. out, the entire Pedlar infield played brilliantly, with Cooper doing a fine job of receiving, getting three "ticked-ball" strikeouts. The game was almost rained out, t once under way, was played in pid-fire time. Make Hits Count Pedlars didn't get a hit off Hun- ter until the 4th, when Sammy Stark tripled to left. Magee singled to score him. Keeler grounded out for the second out but Logeman singled, scoring Magee. Weatherup walked but was forced by Tur- ner. That made it 2-0.

The Chiefs also won the opener, 10-8 in 13 innings on Clyde Vallmer's 20th homer of the season with a mate aboard. The triumph was Howell's fourth straight and his seventh in his last nine starts. He allowed the Leafs six hits. Frankie Davis snapped a 1-1 tie when he doubled home Frankie Drews in "the sixth inn- ing. Howell also played a big part in . the opening game triumph. Tied at | 8-6 going into the 12th inning, the , Leafs tallied twice but the Chiefs tied it up in their half when How- 'ell hit a two-run pinch hit sin- . gle. { The triumphs enabled the fifth- place Chiefs to pull within a game of the fourth-place Rochester Red Wings who beat Baltimore Orioles, 5-3 in the first game of a double- header, called at the end of seven innings because of rain. The second game was washed out. Ted Kazak homered for Rochester and Bill Martin for the Orioles. « The up-and-coming Jersey City Giants took both ends of a twin bill from the league-leading Mon- treal Royals, 5-1 and 4-0. Hub An- drews stopped the Royals on three hits in the opener and Jack Kraus blanked the league-leaders on six singles in the nightcap. The vic tory was the Giants' ninth in their ¢ Jast 10 outings.

Grace Lenczyk Retains Grown Ladies' Open By REUBEN CIPIN Canadian Press Staff Writer Riverside Golf Club, Saint John, N.B, Aug. 30--(CP)--Miss Grace Lenczyk was still the owner of the Canadian Ladies' Open golf cham- pionship today, but her 3 and 2 triumph Saturday over Mrs. Eddie Bush of Wilmington, Del, was one of the toughest fights of her career. Down five holes at the start, the 21-year-old girl from Newington, Conn., had to battle all the way for victory in the 36-hole All-American final. She did not gain the lead until the 24th, then lost it again just as quickly. But a brilliant sweep of four holes in a row carried her to a winning finish on the 34th. Wild with her approach shots and her putting, Miss Penczyk was down five holes at the sixth. Then she got down to business, won the next three holes in a row and fin- ished the morning 18 all square. The 27th found her one down, with Mrs. Bush threatening to take the title and the Duchess of Con- naught Golf Cup. The Champion squared it again with a birdie on the 28th, lost the 29th, then pulled steadily ahead. She took the 30th with a birdie and breezed to win on' the 31st when Mrs, Bush trapped her second and holed out with a five, one over par. The Wilmington golfer's drive bounced into the woods on thé 32nd, and Miss Lenczyk had no trouble taking it with a par five. Mrs. Bush then gave the match away on the 350-yard par four 33rd hole as she three-putted. She tried hard on the 34th with a nice second from behind a tree, but Miss Len- czyk had no trouble matching her par four and retaining the title she won last year at Toronto. . The champion shot a medal score of 146, even par for the 34 holes played, while Mrs. Bush took 148. PLAN PARACHUTE CLUB Winnipeg.--(CP) --A parachut- ists' club is being planned here by professional parachutist, Nick Szun. He believes w terans with par- achute training should form the bulk of the membership. | Big League Baseball Yesterday By JOE REICHLER Associated Press Sports Writer Brooklyn's 'Dodgers have accom- plished what 'many experts said would be impossible. In last place July 2, Burt Shot- ton's amazing Brooklyn club was "2% | perched in first place today follow- ing a tremendous two-month drive out of the National League cellar. They did it the hard way too, sweeping both ends of a double- header from their arch-rivals, St. Louis Cardinals, 12-7 and 6-4, Sun- day. A crowd of 33,826, largest St. Louis crowd of the season, saw the 3 [Dodgers extend their latest win- ning streak to five straight. Of course, the Brooks needed help. They got it from Pittsburgh Pirates who knocked off the erst- while leader, Boston Braves, twice, 6-1 and 5-1. As a result, the Brooks found themselves three percentage points ahead of the Braves, who lead the third-place Cards by 1% games. Pittsburgh established itself as a definite pennant threat by climb- ing within three games of the top. As in many of their victories dur- ing this spectacular surge which saw them win 39 out of 55 games, the Dodgers were paced Sunday by Jackie Robinson, their star negro second baseman. Robby cracked out six hits in the twin bill. He was simply poison to the Cardinals hurlers in the opener when he hit for the cycle. He started with his 10th run of the season, and follow- ed with a triple, double and single in six times at bat. Robinson also stole a base, his 17th of the season. Incidentally, all have come during the last two months. He did not steal a single base in his first 50 games. The second game went 10 innings before the Brooks put over the clincher. A pinch single by Arky Vaughan drove in Pete Reiser with the winning run. Stan Musial did his best to keep the Cards in the game. It was his triple with two out in the last of the ninth that forced the game into overtime, It scored two runners and deadlocked the game at 4-4. Musial, who collected four hits for the af- ternoon to raise his league-leading battle average to .382, cracked his 34th home run in a losing cause in the opener. Rookie Bob Chesnes of Pittsburgh bagged his 11th triumph against only three defeats limiting the floundering Braves to seven hits. A four-run rally in thee*seventh in- ning won the nightcap for Vic Lom- bardi. Cincinnati's Reds extended the 2 |New York Giants losing streak to six straight whipping Leo Duroch- er"s men in both ends of a double- header by the same 3-2 score. Pinch-hitter Danny Litwhiler sin- gled home the winning run in the last of the ninth in the first game, and pinch hitter Augie Galan did the same in the fifth inning of the second game. The nightcap was { l called with two out in the last of the fifth because of rain. Chicago's tail-end Cubs divided a pair with Philadelphia Phils, win- ning the second game 10-4 after Walter Dubiel of the Phils won a 1-0 hurling duel from Bob McCall of the Cubs. The American League race re- mained unchanged as every club divided doubleheaders. J Boston's pace-setting Red Sox split with St. Louis Browns in Bos- ton, winning the opener 10-2, but losing * the - nightcap, 12-4. A three-run homer by Ted Williams and a grand slammer by Birdie Tebbetts helped Joe Dobson win his 14th game for the Xo. Les Moss, Don Lund and Al Zarilla banged four-baggers for the Browns in the nightcap. The runner-up New York Yank- ees gained a split with Detroit Ti- gers at the Stadium, winning the second game 11-10, after Detroit had come from behind to win the opener 9-6. The Tigers, trailing 9-0 in the nightcap, came up with five runs in each of the sixth and sev- enth innings to take a 10-9 lead. However, Bill Johnson socked a two-run homer in the eighth to win for the Yankees. After Bob Lemon had pitched the third-place Cleveland Indians a 6-0 shutout over Washington Senators, the Nats came back to win the second game 5-2, Lemon racked up his 18th vic- tory of the season and his ninth shutout with a three-hitter in the opener. The fourth-place Philadelphia Athletics defeated Chicago White Sox 5-4 in the first game, but the American League cellar-dwellers ome back to win the second game Carl Scheib pitched and batted the A's to a victory in the first game. He tripled and scoring the winning run. He also slammed a pinch-hit homer in the second game. Phil Marchildon of Penetangui- shene, Ont., was_ charged with the second game loss.

The Oshawa B'Nai B'Rith Midgets (Victory Park Aces) played in Kingston also and were leading 12-5 in the sixth inning when a heavy rain prevented further play. This * was a tough break on the Oshawa youngsters, who were apparently headed for a comfortable victory and would have had their game finished if they could have started on time. Over in Ajax tonight, Hastings will play the Ajax Legion in an Intermediate "C" OASA playoff game, first of their series and this will be the big event for Ajax. * L + Fittings Ltd, Juniors came up with a fine display of softball down at Brockville to win 8-3 and tie up their series. The taird and deciding game of this round will be played on a mid-way neutral diamond, this Saturday, likely at Trenton or Belleville. Masowich pitched great ball for the Oshawa Juniors, with nine scattered hits and as many strikeouts. A four-run splurge in the third inning put Fittings well in front and they went on to win by playing sound ball in the field. J a a In the "big game" of the day, Pedlar's opened their OASA Intermediate "A" playoff campaign with a brilliant 3-0 victory down in Point Anne. Hunter, Belleville hurler who ousted Main Office team a few years back, held the Pedlar team to nine hits and three runs, but they bunched their hits to score the counters. "Hootch" Meulemeester was the big noise for the Pedlar team. He was in rare form, pitched his best game of the season in fact, not allowing a single walk. He struck out nine batters and gave up only two safe hits, a double and a single. He also received sensational support from his infield and catcher, to make the shutout certain. Point Anne didn't get a runner to third base. The second game of this series is here at Alexandra Park tomorrow night (with a "two-bits" admission fee this time) and while the desperate Point Anne team will no doubt make a real bid to extend the series, the powerful Pedlar squad should be able to end the series in two-straight, with a win here tomorrow night. 3 i * LJ * Big sports event here tonight of course is the third and deciding game of the Lakeshore Junior Baseball League OBA playoff finals. Peterboro Kiwanis and Gshawa Hunt Club settle their series tonight here, at 5:30 o'clock starting time, for the right to represent the Lake- shore League in the OBA Junior "A" playoffs, We look for the "Hunters" to come up with a good game and eliminate the Liftlock City Kiwanis Juniors but it's bound to be an exciting battle, for the Peter- boro boys won the opening game of this final series, right here on the local diamond last week, by 2-1. * * +» If they're not too tired to hit their peak form, we look for the Oshawa lacrossers to give Scarboro a spirited licking here tomorrow night in the Senior "B" lacrosse game. Scarboro defeated Oshawa 8-6 in overtime, up at Scarboro, two weeks ago and the locals feel they got quite a rugged going-over up there. There's plenty of feeling between the clubs and it may flare out in a rough game here tomorrow night. Meanwhile the Oshawa team travels to Orillia tonight for a league game and they'll be extended to the limit up there. * * * SPORTS SHORTS--Red Raiders Rugby Club held their toughest workout of the season up at Alexandra Park over the week-end, and thanks to a break in the weather, the boys felt like digging in.

BY ALAN RANDAL Canadian Press Staff Writer Montreal, Aug. 30--(CP)--When old News Lalonde managed Saska- toon Sheiks in professional hockey's younger days, the boys used to think him something of a toughie. But Newsy figures today's football coaches, by the way they blast their grid charges, make him look like a milquetoast. The veteran, looking fit under a golf-links tan, went to the Alouette- Hamilton Tigers football game here Thursday night to see Pinky Lewis, the Hamilton trainer who acted in the same capacity for Lalonde when he was managing the Saskatoon Sheiks. Elmer (Montreal Herald) Ferg- uson reports Newsy and Pinky cut up a few touches on the old West- ern Canada hockey league days but Newsy emerged a little pale. "They used to say I was a tough manager in hockey," said Newsy. "And at that I was a bit rough in talking to my teams. But after listening to Frank Filchosk comb those Tigers at half-time I guess I was just a sissy...My goodness, what that man said!" Filchock isn't alone in the hard- bitten language business because Fergie added that had Newsy been around the Alouette room at half- time-- (the Als won 18-0)--He might have been further impressed by the lurid qualities of football pep-up ora- tory. The usually quiet Lew Hayman shed his coat and tore into the boys. About Newsy himself: He plays golf every day and shoots a good game but admits Leo Dandurand, Alouettes' president, can give him such a battle that they've become foursome partners instead of oppo- nents. YESTERDAY'S STARS Batting--Jackie Robinson and Arky Vaughan, Dodgers: Robinson clouted a home run, triple, double and single to help the Dodgers defeat the Cardi- nals in the opener 12-7; Vaughan's pinch single drove in the tle-breaking run in the 10th to give Brooklyn a 6-4 tri h in the second game. Pitc ng nop Lemon, Indians, blank- ed Washington Senators 6-0 on three hits for his ninth shutout of the sea- son and nis 18th victory.

TIE SERIES Oshawa Jr. Softhallers Win 8-3 Away From Home to Square Round, Fittings Take Big Lead With 4-Run Spurt In 3rd Inning And Play Earn Win -- Masowich Fans 9 Batters And Allows Only 3 Runs On 9 Scattered Hits Getting back into the stride that carried them from the cellar td the top in the Oshawa Junior Soft- ball series, Fittings tied up their O.AS.A. 1st round set with Brock- ville whipping the Brockville club at home Saturday by the count of 8-3. The teams will now play a third and deciding game. Where is still a question, but it should be a top- notch go. Masowich doled out nine very widely scattered hits to the Brock- ville club for three runs. His team was right behind him this game, both in hitting and fielding, and this kept down any of the home club's threats. Masowich had nine strikeouts compared to the five which Collison got for the Brocks in the same time. Fittings gleaned eight runs off 13 safeties from the amiable Mr. Collison and looked particularly good in the third inning, when they scored four runs to take a big lead. Both clubs went through a score- less first inning with Masowich finishing the last of the second in quick style with three whiffers. The top of the second saw the Fittings club take the lead in the game, scoring a single run. Two men were out when Ford doubled, and then scored on a two- base error by the shortstop on Masowich's drive. + The big inning for Oshawa was however in the top of the third, when they upped their total by four runs. Singles by Dervent, Arnold and Locke and a double by Jim Claus helped set the stage. An er- ror and a walk also helped. Pearce slammed out a two-bagger in the fourth with a mate aboard to score Brockville's first run, but Oshawa were right in there with Hurst and Dervent hitting conse- cutive two-base smashes to leave the score 6-1. Neither club scored in the fifth, but. they exchanged single runs in the sixth to make the score 7-2. Murray homered for the Brockville counter, while Corrigan did just about 'as well for Fittings, tripling and then scoring on Hurst's single. Scoreless frames were again the rule for the next two innings, bringing the squads to the ninth. Smegal got to first on an error for Fittings and then scored on Claus' single. For Brockville Turner singled and Collison doubled to make the final score 8-3. ; R. H. E.

Fine Defensive Ball To | Force 3rd Game With Brockville Sports Roundup | By GAYLE TALBOT (For Hugh Fullerton, Jr.) New York, Aug, 30--(AP) -- The bad press Ben Hogan received in winning the Denver open suggests it is time the bantam takes himself a long vacation frem golf and per- mits his frayed nerves to relax. Though Ben always has been a quiet, impassive little guy, he is not ordinarily rude to people. I have seen him sign autograph books un- til he must have wished every autoe graph nut in the world had been drowned at birth. °° What might not be generally real- ized is that present:day tournament solf, as played week after week by Hogan and his fellow pres, is about the toughest sport torture ever de- vised. It is a wonder that before this one of them hasn't stripped his men- tal gears in the midst of a final round and begun biting spectators who carry cameras. The pressure finally became too mucha for Byron Nelson a few years back, and he wisely retired while he still had some sembiance of a stom- ach left, Like Hogan, Nelson was a non-drinker, and so never was able to relax even for a few hours of an evening while an event was in pro- gress Bad Manners A glance at Hogan's record this summer might offer some idea of what led up to his reported exhibi- tion of bad manners at Denver. That is, his record shows the constant strain the little slugger has been under. His victory at Denver was his sixth in succession. In 11 events on the sumeer circuit, he has not finish- ed lower than fourth.
