PAGE TWELVE THE DAILY TI MES-GAZETTE WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1948 BY Geo. H. Campbell Shinn One more down--but still two to go! That's the situation with Oshawa's championship-seeking softball teams this week, as the QASA crowns for 1948 are about to be decided. Oshawa Legion dropped the third and deciding game of their Ontario Intermediate "AA" cham- pionship finals, to Hamilton "Niagara Paints" yesterday afternoon at Kew Gardens in Toronto, 8-7. The local Legion boys were leading 7-5 going into the last half of the eighth inning and then a timely triple and double, following a single and an error, with one out, gave Hamilton three runs and a small lead, which they held to the finish, to cop the title. Oshawa opened with a two-bagger, for an "out" and a "dead ball" RANGERS STRENGTHENED DEFENCE PLACES THEM IN "DARK HORSE" STALL This is the third in a Canadian Press series on pre-season prospects of the N.HL. clubs. Today's story covers New York Rangers. Tomor- row: Boston Bruins. By NORMAN ALTSTEDTER Canadian Press Staff Writer New York, Oct. 4--(CP)--Punch- ing forward . lines injected with youth and heft and the first "reliable defence" in years are the factors Manager Frank Boucher of New York Rangers figures will sharpen his National Hockey League club this season. But the qualified,' 47-year-old Boucher is making no predictions on Mw his team or the five other N.H.L. clubs will finish the 60-game grind. Says the Ottawa-born form- er star centre, who perfectly fore- cast last year's finish: Everyone Stronger "All the teams are strengthened. Anything can happen." As the Blueshirts, who finished in fourth place last April, swung into a Quebec exhibition series, there were only two factors the Rangers' mentor seemed sure of: 1. Clint Albright, 22-year-old former Winnipeg amateur, persu- aded to postpone his mechanical engineering studies, would play left wing on a line centred by Buddy O'Connor, the 143-pound wizard whose 60 points last year were only one away from the top-scoring Elmer Lach of Montreal Canadiens, Pentti Lund, 22-year-old Finnish- born was --being--{ested for the right wing post on that line, which was hoped to prove a. sure-fire sparkpluz. : . Rayner In Twine 2. Claude (Chuck) Rayner, the Sutherland, Sask. netminder, laid off by injuries more than two months last year, will guard the Ranger ramparts. His business part- ner, Jim Henry, who filled in ably last season, will probably see action with New Haven Ramblers, Ran- gers' American Hockey League farm club -- if Chicago Black Hawks do not make a bid for his services. Raleigh Gets No. 7 As his stellar example of youth and-fire, -Boucher-points with- pride to the line of Don Raleigh, 22, who will wear the No. 7 shirt held pre- viously only by Boucher and the already-legendary Phil Watson; little Dunc Fisher, 21; and big Nick Mickowski, 20. Watson, the flery French-Cana- dian slated to coach New York Rovers this year, is the best known Ranger fixture of 1947-43 missing from the current roster. The others are Bill Juzda, Cal Gardner and Rene Trudell, who went to Toronto which left the tying run still on second, then the next batter fi d and the third out came on a pop-up, to end the season. Always the bridesmaid seems to be the theme with the Oshawa Legion boys. Alfie Brisebois has had his Legion club in the, Ontario Intermediate "AA" championship finals for three years in succession, only to lose out in the final last-ditch stand; the last twice in a third and deciding game affair, * * The Legion team was very disappointed in not capturing the Ontario championship this year. They feel that the "Niagara Paints" team of Hamilton, while a very good team with better-than-average pitching, is still not as good as some of the teams Legion have de- feated this season. However, it was a tight series, going three full games and each game was won by only one run. The "breaks" decided the issue in every contest and both teams made a lot of errors -- far too many for championship playoff brand softball. Hamilton won because they took better advantage of the Oshawa bobbles than the Legion did of the Niagara fumbles. Timely hitting was a big factor, with the Hamilton team coming up with their best hitting and more extra-base clouts yesterday in the third and de- ciding game than they had in the other two." Two homers and a triple with two on bases, won yesterday's game and the championship. * * * * Oshawa still has two chances left to capture an Ontario champion- ship in the OASA ranks this year, and we still think they'll come up with both of them, Hamilton "Pee-Gees" defeated Oshawa Pedlars 1-0 yesterday in Hamilton, one of the most exciting games in years. Jack McConkey pitched the best game of his life yesterday and still lost it He didn't issue a walk and gave up only two hits in the entire game. As a matter of fact, the series is tied at one game apiece and the "Pee-Gees" have had only three measly hits all-told. They got a lucky break for their lone run yesterday. A single saw the hitter follow it up by stealing second on a wrong-throw in the outfield, then he moved to third on a pasged ball, after which, Stong, the pitcher, bounced one off McConkey's hand, for a scratch hit and the runner crossed the plate, with the only run of the game on two successive singles, the second one of them not even out of the infield. Yep! We'd say Pedlars were un- lucky to lose that one--or Hamilton lucky to win it. However, the fact remains that Stong, the Hamilton P.-G. ace held Pedlars scoreless, despite six scattered hits. The third and deciding game will be played on Saturday at Kew Gardens in Toronto at 3:00 o'clock. * +» he Oshawa Mills Motor Sales face the acid test this afternoon in Hamilton, when they play the third and deciding game of the Ontario Juvenile "A" softb¥ll championship finals, with Guelph Torrance. Coach Reg Thursby will send "Bunny" Maeson, his pitching ace, to the mound in this crucial game against Guelph and the Torrance team will be relying upon Don Haennel, their only pitcher, who has hurled their last 13-straight playoff games--and lost only the 13th, here in Oshawa. It has been announced that Kirkland Lake Juve- niles will not contest the All-Ontario, North vs. South champion- ship title, so Mills Motors can win the OASA championship in Juvenile "A", by taking this deciding game today in Hamilton. +* +* +* Oshawa's Junior "Red Raiders" play a "Big Four" grid game tonight under the floodlights, up in Hamilton against the Junior "Wildcats," who are currently tied with Parkdale for the league leadership. The Oshawa lads will have a tough chore on their hands tonight but they've been polishing up their plays and hope to uncork a few surprise moves tonight that will bring them a victory. Wy od * + Meanwhile, sports fans are already to glue their ears to their radios today, as the World Series get under way in "Beantown." It looms as an interesting series, following one of the keenest season's in years. The American League pennant race has been a sizzler right from the start with Indians surviving, to make it an all- Indians series (Braves vs. Indians). During the year, Philadelphia A's, New York Yankees, Boston Red Sox and even Detroit Tigers all had a fine chance. Now it's settled and the series gets underway today. It'll likely be Bob Feller vs. Johnny Salih, as starting hurlers. Incidentally, a running story of today's game, up until "press time" will be carried on page two of this paper. 4 J + SPORTS SHORTS--The O.C.V.I. junior football club found out that their lot isn't going to be a cinch this year if they are to get past their own loop.

Charles Donmall, secretary of the British board, said at London Tuesday he had not received Neiderretier's suggestion, cabled by the New Yorker Monday night on behalf of the tournament of champions. But when it arrives, Donmall said, the board will "just laugh." Donmall sald the board never asked a British champion to defend a newly-won title until at least six months after he wins it.

Intermediate "A" Southern final at one game apiece, winning by the count of 1-0 at home last night over the visiting Oshawa Pedlars, Pitches Two-Hitter Big Jack McConkey was on the Oshawa hill and with a two-hitter under his belt, he looked like a sure winner. His mates however could not put their six hits together in a fashion to make the score in their favor. Strangely enough, that makes only three hits that the Hamilton club has obtained off the Oshawa hurler in 18 innings but the series is even at one and one. George Stong, the Hamilton ace, held in reserve for this game, found the locals willing to meet the bal, but unable to piece the blows into runs. 8tong had nine strikeouts to Mc- Conkey's five and this was about the only margin that the Hamilton hurler had over the local artist, Pedlars had men as far as second base in the first, second, fourth, seventh and eighth innings, but usually with two out. The third out was usually on strikes, and this ended the scoring threat. First Single Sam Stark got the first Pedlar hit, 'in "the top of the first frame, and went to secayd on a line fly to centre by Magee. Keeler went down swinging and that made the third out. Hamilton went down in order in the last of the first as they did | in every inning but the third and | fourth. | Stan Logeman was the boy to | get to second base in the second frame for Oshawa, but again the third out left him stranded. In the first of the third, Oshawa went down in order for the first time in the game. In the bottom half of the frame, with one out, Mitchell singled past the mound, went to second on a passed ball and to third with a stolen base. Stong singled and won his' own ball game when Mit- chell scored from third. The next two men were easy outs and that ended all the hits that the Hamil- ton men obtained. In the first of the fourth, Osh- awa put together two singles to get men on second and first, only to have the man on second caught off base and the third out made on a dribbler down the first base side. Only Bobble Hamilton got a man to second base in the last of that inning when Magee allowed the ball to | slip through his fingers. That was | with two out though and the next | man went down easily and that | ended the threat. | Two walks allowed Pedlars to | push men onto first and second in | the seventh, while a double in the | eighth put Magee on that sack. | Both times though the men were | left stranded. 1 Hamilton made no further moves | in a scoring way and the battle ended 1-0.
