Merchants stretched their victory string just as far as it would go, here at the Stadium on Saturday afternoon when they defeated Ach Bowling 5-4 in 8 10-inning game. The Merchants had to come from behind tw do the trick, a "hit batter", walk and bad throw on a bunt ssorifies pid, all due to George Davidson who got off to a shaky start, put we jooals pehind 3-0 in the first inning, Gord.

Oshawa's tying run and in the 10th, after Napolitano walked, stoi¢ Sc and moved to 3rd on an error. Ace Bowling strategy was to issue two deliberate walks to fill up the bases, making a force play pos- sible au avery base--but the batter then was Harry Hill again and he poled one 1 deep centre, to score Vic Napolitano after the catch with the win run. The two teams went back to Toronto on Saturday night and comic PW the lights at Millen Stadium and Ace Bowling Centre finally stopped Oshawa Merchants--after what was, we believe, 13 or 14 /.straight wins (probably "13", eh?) when they won the game by the same score as the afternoon tilt, 5-4. +. * * One thing we haven't figured out yet--we didn't see the game so we haven't any first-hand information te give, but we'd like to know how Ade Bowling Centre had eight errors in the game on Saturday hight and Oshawa didn't have any, yet despite the fact the margin of hits was only 8 over 5, Ace Bowling whipped Oshawa 5-4. M have 'been a lot of runners left on bases for want of good hits right. place, which would indicate that Williams - olutches, for Ace Bowling. Paul "Tommy" (we hope) to lose a few balls in the Oshawa Creek of the league games here this season. In the game on Sunday, w! as we fully expected, had little or no appeal for Torente fans and was played before a handful of spectators, most of them from Osh- awa, the Merchants defeated Peterbore Marines in the exhibition tilt, 11-4. Morey, the new hurler, started ang pitched very well mest of the way. Thempsen took over and Harry Hill also had a hand at catching, in the latter part of the game. + * * Oshawa Merchants are back in action again tonight, with a game at | the Kinsmen Civic Memprial Stadium here, at 6:30 o'clock, when Toronto Swafforgs will supply the visiting opposition. It's a busy grind for the Merchants, with not much chance for a rest. On Wednesday night, Staf- forts ave right back here in Oshawa again for another league fixture. The way the Merchants have been going, that 5-4 defeat by Ace Bowling Oexire on Ssturday night in Toronto, was probably a good thing. It cut off Tony Delaurentis at five wins and one loss, in the pitching depart- sme: and thet was a tough break for him but as far as the whole team is concerned. it's usually 3 good thing to lose the odd one, keeps the players or their toes and anxious 10 improve. Staffords playing here tonight gives the Merchants another chance to boost their lead, which at present con- stitutes only 3 margin in the win column. They have lost seven games and so have Ace Bowling Centre men, se it's up to Oshawa to keep win- mung ¥f they ave to hold their lead over "Moe" Charney's club. The last time Staffords played here, it- was a 2-1 game and a real struggle from sar: to fimigh If Staffords make it just as interesting here tonight, the fans are going io see another stellar baseball tussle. * Ld Ld The sympathy of Oshawa sport fans goes out to the members of "the "Hall family" teday. Norman Hall passed away on Saturday night, following a lengthy illness, which he battled in real sporting : fashion for several years. Years ago he was a hard-working executive on Oshawa ball clubs and was a strong boester of all sport teams, ially the youngsters in later years, He was himself an ardent golfer and was an active member of the Oshawa Club as late as last year. Two members of the Hall family have béen prominent in "local ball circles for many years, Lloyd ("Cot") and brother "Wib" both being very well known to local fans, having played with Oshawa senior and intermediate baseball and softball teams. On behalf of all sport fans and associates, we extend sincere sympathy to all members of the family. E 4 + LJ Tomorrow night at the Kinsmen Civic Memorial Stadium, Pedlars play Montreal Steinbergs in an exhibition softball contest. They were to « have played last Friday night, it will be recalled, but the game was rained out. Gerry Snider, playing manager of the Steinbergs, called us on Sat- urday to assure us that his club would be here Tuesday night, ready to give a good account of themselves. Bill Durnan, who once pitched an Ontario championship final doubleheader here in Oshawa (won the first one and lost the 3rd and deciding game of the series to "Preem" Whiteley 3nd Oshawa Dodgers in 1932) is likely to do the hurling and Jimmie Peters, another N.H.L. hockey star, will do the eatching. "Fritz" Crowdis, Who shines at third base for the Steinbergs, is a brother of "Louie", the former Oshawa Generals' goalie. A lot of local softball and baseball fans too, are looking forward te this exhibition game tomorrow night and we think Pedlars will play before the biggest crowd they've ever had in Oshawa, > +» L 4 SCISSORED SPORT-- (By The Canadian Press) --Ted Williams says he has been informed another operation may be ssary on his elbow and that the odds are against him playing again season.

The game was a thriller-diller for the fans and Shh ml of sparkling plays eatured above all by 6-hit pitching performances by the rival moundsmen, Cam Church for the visitors and George Davidson for the Merchants. Aces Grab Lead Davidson was definitely off-stride here Saturday and didn't really settle away to solid pitching until the 6th frame, and even after that he was hit solidly, safely a few times and on others, his mates, especially Vic Napolitano at shortstop, came up with sensational fielding plays and snap-throws to 1st to nip "scratch hits." : Ace Bowling Céntre broke in front right off the go, when Davidson hit Bill Calder, first batter of the game, with a pitched ball and then promptly walked Tom McKillop. Loring Doolittle then bunted for a sacrifice and Davidson fiélded the ball and threw badly to 1st leaving sll hands safe. That play, as it turned out, meant three runs be- cause the next two batters skied out .to the infield. ; Gagnon was first, with a. long lift behind second which Aaron Bitman went far back to take and was then off-balance and sp couldn't throw to the plate in time to prevent Cé#fier scoring after the catch. Baz McMurray popped p. to shortstop and then Gordie O'Hearn hit a triple over Barnes' head, in centre, to score both McKillop and Doo- lirtle, ' Although they came 'close several times, the Bowling Centre boys got only one more run, in the fifth inning, when Bfll Calder singled with one out. He set out to steal 2nd and Ticcony threw badly, Mc- Killop flied out to right then Doo- little singled into left and scored Calder with the visitors' 4th run of the game.

Sen- wasn't long before the roof caved in over the heads of the Oshawa play- ers. A free kick was awarded against Oshawa and failure of the locals to cover up their goal gave the kicker a glorious opportunity which he took and put Mimico one up. Shortly afterward during a Mim- ico raid on the Oshawa goal, Suth- erland called for the ball but one 'of the Oshawa defenders kicked the ball clear. Partenio the Mimico left Soccer League this season, if we Ww Judge by their showing at Minin os) Saturday. They took a 3-0 shellecking from one of the poorest elevens they have come Agsinst to date. Oshawa took the initiative right from the start and kept up the pressure for the next forty-five minutes but poor finishing in goal undid sli their good mid-field work. Fulton was particularly outstand- ing during this period. .

For a long time, it appeared that four runs were going to be enough too, A walk to Ted Barnes to open the first inning, an infield out and then a wild piteh, put Barnes on 3rd.

In the 6th inning, Bill Harper smacked a two-bagger into left and raced to third when Gagnon muffed the pick-up. George Ticcony then singled to centre, scoring Harper, to make it 4-3. A sacrifice put Ticcony on second but Rowland and Bitman both popped to the infield as Cam Church "bore down." It wasn't until the 8th inning that Oshawa tied the score. Bill Harper singled to centre with one out. Tic- cony grounded and when Baz Mc- Murray juggled the ball, it gave Harper time to reach 2nd but Tic- cony was thrown out at 1st. by a half-step. Then Harry Hill drilled one through McMurray, out to left field, giving Harper time to race home with the tying run. On the next pitch, Rowland slashed one down to McMurray at 3rd and he snared it. Ace Bowling had a hit and a walk in the 9th but Bitman made a sparkling play to throw out McKil- lop on a ball hit through the box. In the 10th inning, with one out, Vic Napolitano drew a walk. He promptly set out to steal second and wént right on to 3rd when the throw got away from Bill McMiuray Played For Force Out Following a strategy conference, Ace Bowling elected to issue inten- tional passes to both Bill Harper and George Ticcony, thus filling the bases and setting up the force play at every base.

Oshawa took advantage of wild- ness on the part of two Peterboro hurlers Sunday and emerged with an easy 11-4 triumph. Ali Williams garnered his fifth win on the mound for Aces, al- though he chipped in with three errors that led to Oshawa runs. He permitted only five safeties and after Tommy Thompson's first in- ning homer settled away to toss steady ball. Rus Wallace and Gagnon register- ed two hits each for Aces, who halted Tony DeLaurentis' unbeaten mound record at five. Rog Wood was the lone Merchant to garner a pair off the Williams' slants. Peterborough Marines handed the Sunday tilt to Oshawa, their hurl- ers issuing 15 bases on balls.

The ex-major<leaguer was hot as a firecracker Saturday when he pitched his Galt Terriers to a 5-0 intercounty senior victory over Kit- chener Legionnaires. Not content with twirling a neat three-hit shutout, he stroked two crisp singles and batted in a run in his only two official trips to the plate. He was backed up by some sensational fielding. During the last 4 2-3 innings, Bagby was matched pitch-for-pitch by Yank Lipka, who relieved Nick Martinovitch for Kitchener in the fourth. Lipka allowed nary a safety as he goose-egged Terriers in a bril- lant relief stint. A terrific' pitching duel between two of the league's top lefties--Os- and without a bobble, at the key sack. Napolitano also handled nine chances "without a miscue. Davidson fanned 10 batters and issued four walks while Church struck out only two batters and issued eight walks, Bill Harper and Frank Davis were the only players in the ganie_ to:get more than one. safe hit off the rival hurlers.

This club won their way to this honor in a two-out-of-three games series played over the week-end with the other local finalist, Bea- ton's Dairy. In the first game, Victors gal- loped to a one-hit 8-1 win, while in the second and what proved to be the deciding tussle, they walked over the Milkmen, winning 8-3. This game was a four-hit triumph as the pitchers showed their hand for the second time in the series. Kellar was the winning chucker in the first contest, earning his one- hitter all the way. He fanned 11 batters and had it not been for a two-base error in the frame when he allowed his single safety, he probably would have had a shut- out. Victors moved into a 2-0 lead in| the first inning, added five in the second and went scoreless in the third. Victors tallied their lone run in the bottom of the third, when Oldfield got to second on a two- base error. He gained third on a wild pitch and scored on Beaton's only hit, a double by Milne to right field. Victors got that tally back in the top of the seventh when Kellar stole home. In the second game of the series, played at Harman Park, Hughes was the starting pitcher for the win- ners and lasted till the second in- ning. At that time, Copeland took over and finished the game with a no-hit relief chore. O'Connor was the starter for the losers with Brodie taking over 'n the fourth inning. Beaton's scored three runs in the second and that was their sum total for the game.
