Senior "B" playoff series with the Peterboro Legion on Saturday night under the floodlights in the Liftleck City, but it took a freakish 7-run rally in the 8th inningy staged after the first batter had Been re- tired, to enable the Colts to turn an 8-5 deficit into their 12-8 vic- tory. The game was a weird affair, erammed full of a little of every- thing that makes a ball game in- terésting and the wild scoring splurge in the 9th inning was the grand climax. Homesters Score First Peterboro took a 2-run lead In the first inning, after Paget and Lewis, their first two batters had struck out. It was that way most of the night, Oshawa could get two sut usually and then the trouble would start. In this case, it was "Mr. Treuble" himself, in Howie Dalton, playing manager of the Peterbors Legion team and a bril- liant softballer in his own right-- besides being the fastest man on bases the Celts have seen in many moons. Me singled, with two out and moved on a passed ball. Then Harrison, the other half of Peter- béro's terrific two-man threat, smaghed a triple to left-centre and scoréd when the throw-in struck him at 3rd base and rolled into the Other than a couple of walks, Bob Greenlaw, the Peterboro slab a .icl, wasn't éven threatened un- til the 3rd inning, then the Colts c'izled for five sclid hits and four runs. Jack Stark beat out a bunt with ,one out, to start it off. Hall pushed a bunt-hit over 3rd base and then "Red" Jubenville slam- me? a double to centre. Nelson singled, scéring Jubenville and moved to 2nd om the throw-in. Whitely drew a walk. Bidgood pop- ped up but Barker slammed a two- baggér next, scorin? Nelson. Tav- lor grounded and Whitely was tag- ged at the plate. A Home-Run Apiece Peterboro tied it up in the same inning. Paget smashed a homer over the right-field fence after Parnell had fanned. Lewis fanned néxt but then Dalton doubléd and Harrison promptly did the same, to score Dalton, making it 4-4. Legion took the lead in the 4th, after their first two batters had fanned, when Greenlaw singled to left. He moved along on passed balls as Parnell was being walked and then Paget singled, on a bunt to score Greenlaw. "Red -Jubenville tied it up at 8-5 in the top half of the 5th when he smashed one out of the park to open the inning. Dalton got his third-straight hit, another two-bagger, to open the 5th inning and the Oshawa team then drew down a loud razzberry fréem the crowd of over 2,000 Peter- compLeTs Firestone, V. McLELLAN'S HOME and AUTO SUPPLY boro fans, when they elected to walk Harrison deliberately. With these two on bases, "Preem" White- ly then struck out Hoyt and Scriv- er. He walked Wuthers to fill the bases but fanned Greenlaw to end thé inning. is In the 6th, Jubenville scored Parnell's liner and Billy Taylor madé a great play on a grounder which Hall only partially stopped. In the 7th, Hall opened with a single and Jubenville also singled, for his third hit of the night. Nel- son bunted and Hall was called out vigorously protested. Then Green- law bore down to fan Whitely and Bidgood and save that situation. Mamesters Take 3-Run Lead Legion got gojng -in the Tth again when Howie Dalton beat out a bunt and Harrison then smashed a double, his third extra-base hit (plus a walk) in four trips. The drive was juggled in centre allow- ing the speedy Dalton to score from 1st and Harrison moved to 3rd, scoring when Hoyt singled a bunt. Hall made a neat play to throw out Scriver on a bunt at- tempt and Taylor's one-handed pickup retired Wuthers. Then Greenlaw flled to left and Stark dropped the catch as Hoyt crossed the plate with the third run of the inning. The Fatal 9th Inning It looked to be all up with the Colts as Harrison made two brilli- ant catches of sizzling line-drives by Barker and Taylor to rob them in the 8th. In the 9th, Stark, first batter, was thrown out on a nice bunt at- tempt.."Wib" Hall drew a walk and then came the big "break" of the game. "Red" Jubenville smashed a low pitch through the infield and smashed his 'bat into several pieces at the same. time, the pieces flying out on the diamond, causing pitch- er and 2nd baseman to both duck. With the tying run at the plate, Ron. Nelson smashed two long fly balls out of the park, both foul and finally after a long session at the plate, drew a walk to fill the bases. Dean McLaughlin, batting for Whitely, drew a walk on five pit- ches, to force Hall with the first run. Walks Very Costly That ended Greenlaw's stay on the mound and Howie Dalton came in from 3rd to take over the pitch- ing. Hé was wild at the start and MORE MORE MORE-- Bidgood waited him out for a walk, to force in Jubenville, making it 8-7. With the infield playing in, Barker slashed one to short and catcher Parnell droppéd Harrison's throw, as Nelson crossed the plate with the tying run. Then came Billy Taylor's "texas- leaguer," a looper into short left which Hoyt couldn't get and Har- rison, going back from shortstop, ust failed to reach. McLaughlin and Bidgood scored on that blow. with Barker going to 3rd. Vern McLaughlin grounded to 3rd and Barker scored as the putout was made at 1st. Taylor moved to 3rd on a passed ball and scored when Paget muffed Stark's grounder, then Dalton fanned Hall to finally end the rally, after 7 runs had crossed the plate. McLaughlin pitched the last of the 9th and hurled to four batters. Harrison smashed a screaming line-drive to open the inning and Taylor made a stellar grab of it, off his knees, for the putout. Then Hoyt doubled to left but Scriver grounded out to Taylor and Wuth- ers watched the 3rd strike go by, to end the game. Whitely Fans 13 Batters "Preem" Whitely was not exact- ly "on" but he was just wild en- ough to be effective and his speed had the Legion batters guessing badly, with the result that he fan- ned 13 batters, all in the first six innings, although nicked for 11 hits in 8 frames. Whitely walked only three how- j| ever, while Greenlaw issued eight free tickets. He walked three bat- trs in the 9th when he "bléw" after doing a nice job up until then, ex- cept for the 3rd inning when he was clipped for five solid hits. Howie Dalton had four hits in five trips and his other bid was a smashing liner to Nelson in deep left. Harrison had three hits and a walk in five trips and his other bid was "robbed" by Taylor's great catch in the 9th. Paget and Hoyt each had two safeties. J Four For Jubenville "Red" Jubenville topped Howie Dalton's hitting, with four hits in fivé trips, including a homer and a double. -"Wib" Hall had two hits for the Colts, Defensively, Jubenville and Tay- lor were standouts for the Oshawa club while Dalton and Harrison were stars for Legion. x R HE Oshawa: ....004 010 007-12 10 3 Peterboro: 202 100 300-- 8 12 2 GM-COLTS: Stark, If,; Hall, 3b; Jubenville, 2b; Nelson, ri; Whitely, p; Bidgeod, 1b; Barker, c; Taylor, ss; V.

In the 4th inning, Gibson was safe on an error. Johnston grounded out and Nesbitt was safe on a cholce play that failed to catch Gibson at 3rd. Then Hooker smashed a trinle to left-centre. scoring his two mates, to make it New Toronto Fight Back The Wolves had been tamed com- pletely for three innings by Hook- er's steady hurling but they came un in the fifth with a rally when Hooker went wild as a hawk. He walked three batters in succession then Martin singled and Crawley did the same. An outfield putout let Martin come home with the 4th run of the inning but Crawley was called out for taking a lead off and Smuk grounded out to end the inning. The score stayed at 8-7 until the 7th inning, when Brooklin scor- ed three runs. Fletcher started the rally off with a single and Mackey and Davidson both followed suit.

Oshawa Victory Win Eastern Zone Honors, Park Midgets rd Victory Aces Defeat Kingston Midgets 21-6 and 18--1 to Capture Eastern Ontario Zone Softball Honors -- Stroz Hurls: 21-Strike- outs in Second Game and Allows Only 1 Hit Victory Park Aces, of the Osh- awa B'Nai B'Rith Midget Softball League, captured the Eastern On- tario wone championship in the O.AS.A. Midget softball playoffs when they took both ends of a doubleheader at Bathe Park, here on Saturday afternoon, 21-6 and 18-1. Victory Aces were leading 11-4 at Kingston in the first game of their series and the rain arrived to pre- vent further play. Perfect weather greeted the teams here on Saturday and the Victory Park boys went right to work. They scored three. runs in the first inning en doubles by Stroz and Wasylyk in the right spots and when Kingston pushed across a run in the 2nd inning, when Jones was very wild and walked in a run, Aces came back in their half of the inning to score 6 more runs with Jones and Craggs both hitting homers. Two Homers For Jones It wasn't much of a contest af- ter that, with Jones hitting an- other homer in the 4th in part of another 6-run rally and Aces edded two in the 5th and four in the 6th inning. Kingston's young ° litte team couldn't do much with Jones' fast one and he fanned 13 batters. They finally clicked in the 6th inning for a 5-run rally, on three hits, added to four walks when Jones hit another wild streak. Jones fanned 13 but he walked 15 in the 7-inning game. The first game of the double- header was called at 7-innings and Y.iip Kingston Kids Twice after a brief rest, the two young clubs went at it again. .

He fanned the first six batters to face him and struck out 16 in the first 6 innings, out of a pos- sible 18. The Kingston youngsters most of them still young enough for Bantam ball, couldn't do a thing at the plate. They got their lone tally in the 7th on a miss by the catcher, on a strikeout, followed by a couple more errors in the Infield. Victory Park scored two runs in the first inning when Cirka walk- ed and Stroz, Jones and Wasylyk all connected safely in succession. In the 2n4 inning a double by Craggs and singles by Zakarow and Cirka produced three more runs, aided by an error and a walk. Kingston tightened up for two frames; there Feeney slipped and the Aces added runs in the 5th, 6th, 7th and then a 6-run rally in the 8th to complete their 18-run total. All of the Oshawa boys did well at the plate and behind the fine pitching they were getting, had no trouble playing goed ball in the field, to cinch the series.

The game was a weird, free-hit- ting affair with Oshawa out-hit- ting the homésters 14 to 11 and both teams making several bad bobbles in their defensive play. Each team had two big innings, of 5 and 4 runs apiece. Oshawa Breaks in Front Peterboro scored the first run in the opening stanza when Selby's error on Thompson's grounder and Evans sacrificed his mate to 2nd. An error by Gedge at first put Thompson on 3rd and he stole home, gio the bases with two singles by- Day and McLaugh- lin and then a walk after two 'out, in the second but couldn't score. In the 3rd, Coggins hit a homer to make it 1-1. Peters singled and so did McDiarmid and then Day grounded, with Peters. being nipped at the plate. In the 4th inning, Lawrence open- ed with a singlé and advanced on a passed ball. Selby fanned 'but Sciuk hit a homer, Gedge grounded out and then with two out, Osh- awa went on a hit rence to pop up. Bigford used his tricky drop to advantage and although he was threatened badly in the 6th, he went along easily in the other frames, without allowing a hit or run, until the 9th inning. Peterboro's Big Frames In the meantime, Peterboro had | taken the lead. They finally got to McLaughlin in the 5th, after load- ing the bases on twSs walks and an error in thé 3nd, without scoring. In the 5th, Floyd opened with a double. McDiarmid threw badly to 3rd on a choice bunt. Griffin then stole 2nd and moved to 3rd on a passed ball and stole home. Allen grounded out but Grafstein walk. ed and Grainger, singled. Bigfordy doubled. Doris popped up but' Bigford/ came home on an error by Mec- Diarmid then Lawrepce made a. great catch to rob Thompson. and tha the inning, with the score tied at 6-6. Kawerthas ¥--t right on rolling in their 6th * '7. With cme .out Griffin was again safe on an error. Allen singled and so did Grafstein. Griffen had scored on an error and Grafstein stole 2nd and 3rd and scored when , Grainger grounded out. Coggins made a sparkling play to retire. Bigford and end this rally, but four runs had _ scored, putting the homesters in frbnt 10-6. Peterboro added their final run and it proved the winning tally, in the last of the 8th when Floyd, for the third time, started jt off with a single. He moved on a passed ball. Griffin lined out but Allen singled, scoring Floyd. The Exciting Finish Mills: Motors staged a great fin- ish in their 9th that just failed to tie up the game. McLaughlin started the rally with a walk and Lawrence doubled. Hoy, pinch- hitting for Selby, singled and moved to 2nd safely on the catcher's er- ror. Sciuk singled to score both Lawrence and Hoy. A fielder's choice missed and Gedge was safe. Sciuk moved to 3rd on a passed ball and scored when Coggins flied out to right field, to make it 11-10. Gedge moved to 3rd on a passed ball but Bigford rallied to strike out Peters' and then sent McDiar- mid down swinging, to end the game, with that tying run still on 3rd base. Lawrence with three hits, headed the Oshawa batters, with Sciuk, Coggins, Peters, McDiarmid all get- ting two apiece. Floyd had three hits for Peterboro and scored every time, with Allen getting hits twice to put him across the plate.

By GORD PEPPER Canadian Press Staff Writer Halifax, Sept. 7--(CP) -- To use the mildest of terms, Canada's showing in track and field at the 1948 Olympiad at London did not approach mediocrity. Ace (Halifax Chronicle) Foley says the question before the house is: "What is wrong with track anu field in Canada?" Afier the razor-sharp answer "we don't have enough win- ners," Foley goes on to ask what Canadians are going to do about it Ace says that in the first place track and field no longer are Ma- jor sports events .n the Dominion. Where they used to get relatively full houses, they don't draw near that now. He adds: "As long as the Olympic games are held, Canada should 'be repres- ented. And if it is to be represented, it should be by a strong team. Track and field sports need a shot in the arm all over the country. Meets stiould be conducted regularly and the publicity that is showered on hockey and baseball should be turn- ed on such events." Ace says a major reason for the sport falling on its face is that meets are often too dul] for most p2ople in this modern age. Iie suggests that qualifying events he held in the morning of a track meet with the finals in the afternoon for the pub- lic to see. "There is glamor and excitement to a dash event but there is litile to be found ih a fadious parade of trial men plodding toward the fi- nals." Track and field can some back to full bloom again bui »nly if proper- ly planned and executed. Fans will turn out if the events are paraded with a dash of coor and participat- ing athletes don't dawdle into posi- tion and the hordes of officials don't clutter up the infield, Sports Roundup .

AWA SOFTBALL TEAMS WON PLAYOFF GAMES SAT Fittings Defeat Brockville In Deciding Game at Trenton For Eastern Zone Jr. Honors Oshawa Ju aiors Whip Brockville Boys 9-3 in 3rd Game of Eastern Ontario Zone Finals -- Homer in 7th and 5- Run Rally in 8th Breakse Up Nip-and- Tuck Struggle Oshawa's Junior "A" softball champions, Fittings Ltd., added the Eastern Ontario Zone champio- nship to their belts on Saturday afternoon at Trenton, when they defeated Brockville 9-3 in the 3rd and deciding game of their O.A.S.A. Junior "A" series. The sudden-death game proved a real softball battle from start to finish with the score. 2-2 in the 7th, although the Oshawa boys were never behind. Runs Scarce At First With Masovich pitching a nifty brand of softball right from the start, Brockville had a tough, day at the plate. Pearce got their first of only six hits, in the 3rd inning but he "died" on second, when the next three went out in order. In the 6th, Turner was safe on an error by Masovich who messed up the bunt and then Curtis sin- gled. With two on and nobody out, Masovich fanned Charlton, forced Gould to fly out and Rumsby to ground out to end that threat. In the meantime, Oshawa had taken a 2-0 lead. They got the first run in the second when Claus was safe on an outfield fumble. He moved to 3rd on a passed ball and scored when Masowich flied out to centre. Dervent and Smegal sin- gled in succession to open the 4th but Curtis "bore down" to fan Claus and Ford and then made Masowich ground out. In the 5th, with two out, Corri- gan came through with a double and scored when shortstop McIn- tosh threw wildly to 1st on Hurst's grounder. Game Livens Up Brockville tied the game in the top half of the 7th. Murray opened with a single and moved to 2nd on a passed ball. McIntosh flied out but Miller doubled, scoring Murray and Miller scored after two out when Turner singled. Ford got himself tossed out of the game for protesting an umpires decision too strenuously. That made it 2-2 but not for long. Fittings came right back in their half of the 7th to take a 2- run lead again, when Arnold was safe on an error by Miller and then with two out, Corrigan smashed a homer. Chariton opened the 8th for Brockville with a single and then Gould was safe on Hurst's. bobble. Pinch-hitter Curtis flied out and Murray grounded out, letting Charlton score, to make it 4-3. Fittings Clinch Victory That was too close for the Osh- awa boys and they clinched the game in their half of the 8th with their big rally o fthe day, four hits for five runs. Dervent started it off with a homer. Smegal then struck out but Claus was safe on an in- field error and moved to 2nd on a passed ball. Brooks, playing in place of Ford, came through with a double and Masowich singled to score Brooks. Then Arnold smacked a homer to clear the bases. An error and a walk followed but Hurst hit into a double play at3rd. Brockville went down in order in the 9th and the series was over. Corrigan with a double and hom- er and Dervent with a homer and a single, were the big hitters for Fittings while the six Brockville hits were divided evenly among as many players.

Schroeder And Parker Whip Aussie Stars Forest Hills, N. Y., Sept. 7--(AP) --Having given one of the most devastating exhibitions of power tennis in Davis-Cup history, Ted Schroeder headed home to Los An« geles today, again snubbing the National Championships, which start Friday. Ted, now strictly a week-end tennis player, only came East long enough to help squelch the Austra- lian challengers again. Frankie Parker, the other Cali- fornian who also covered himself with tennis glory in the one-sided 5-0, rout of the Aussies, is staying on to play in the championships, and he almost certainly will win them for the third time. The draw for the Nationals was scheduled today. The only real for eign threat appears to be Jaroslav Drobny, the left-handed Czech. On the basis of their showing the last three days, during which they won only two sets in five matches for the Davis Cup, the Australians have nothing to offer. Schroeder was a ring-tailed wone der in his 6-2, 6-1, 6-1 victory over Billy Sidwell in the first of yester- day's concluding Cup matches. The match lasted only 57 minutes and must have been one of the shortest in Cup history. To give an idea of the near perfection of Schroeder's touch, he hit only 19 shots into the net in 22 'games. Parker, hitting with less power than his singles team-mate, had everything he needed to subdue Adrian Quist 6-2, 6-2, 6-3. He must have goten some satisfaction from the fact that he quelled the Aussie leader in straight sets where Schroeder had needed four sets to turn the trick on Saturday.
