CAMPBELL Oshawa Merchants defeated: Mayfairs 9-5 at Earlscourt Park on Saturday. night in a game that produced everything in baseball from wonderful to weird. Joe Spring hit & 3-run homer in the 5th and a spectator sitting on the top row of the bléachers in right field, caught it one-handed (bare-hand, of course) as the ball was going out of the park. In the 6th, Spring permitted two hits, then hit a batter to fill the bases and after fanning Davidson, he fielded a slow roller down the first- base line, tagged out Ted Barnes but dropped the ball when the two collided hard. He protested to the umpire that Barnes was either prop- erly tagged or out for interference. Carman Bush, the base-umpire, in- sisted that it was an error and nothing else, That tied the game and when Vic Napolitano then smacked a two-run 'single, Spring turned to the umpire and intimated that he. should be satisfied now he had given Oshawa the ball game. That ended Spring's stay in the game and when Manager "Lefty Parijtt 6f Mayfairs also gave vent to some uncompli- mentary remarks he too got_tossed. out of the game. Oshawa scored six runs beore that infiing was over--and that clinched the victory. * * President John Harris of the Oshawa Merchants had a proud, , beaming smile as he pted the hand gold "Coea Cola Trophy" as Toronto and District Zone champions in National Baseball Con- gress play. Commissioner Lloyd Douglas and Congress officials Jimmy Glenny and Frank Peppiat officiatéd in the ceremony, the latter making the official presentation. Several hundred Oshawa fans were on hand for the :gamaé:-undes the lights and the Merchants received a big hand for the showing. They earned their win but once again it was shown that while they are a strong defensive team, with splendid fielding and good pitching--they are still not too potent at the dish, Aarofi Bitman with three-for-three was the only big hitter of the night for Oshawa. Rog. Wood's sensational all-the-way throw from right 'field to the plate, to nip a runner trying to score from 3rd, when Mayfairs had two on and none out in the 6th, was probably the turning point of the game. It was a terrific throw and drew a great hand from the big crowd of about 3,000. That double-play sparked Oshawa and they came up with their own big rally in the bottom half of the same inning. Merchants travel to London on Wednesday, to compete for the Canadian "sandlot" championship against other zone winners and they are conceded an excellent chance to cop the honors--but they'll have to play theéir best ball. * +* * However the Merchants have a couple of Viaduct League games before they go to London this Wednesday. The first one is here at the Kinsmen CWic Memorial Stadium this evening, when New Toronto Simp- son Fords play here--that postponed game that needed only one more "out" to have been a regulation game but was rained out on July 20. Fords took a win from Peterboro Marines on Friday night and on Sat- urday at Peterboro, Marines won but New Toronto has protested, on the grounds that the Peterboro umpire didn't enforce the "infield fly" ruie when it was applicable, On Sunday afternoon, Ace Bowling Centre de- teated Peterboro Marines 14-9 and that makes that race for third place between Aces and Fords, tighter than ever. The two Peterboro defeats of course, clinghes first place for Oshawa Merchants but right now the New Toronto team is gunning for third place so they'll bring their strong- est team here fo? the big game tonight. Tomorrow night, Oshawa Merch. ants go down to Peterbore for a floodlight game, one that was postponed early in the season. After that, it wouldn't surprise us if the Viaduct League officials are ready to announce playoff dates by the end of this week. * +* +* PLAYOFF PATFER--In addition to the senior baseball game here tonight, Oshawa Jr. Transporters are playing their last league game with Bowmanville Roses, down there this evening . . .

CANADA'S TOP EAST AND WEST TEAMS MAY FORM PRO FOOTBALL LEAGUE TORONTO, Aug. 21 -- (CP) -- The creation of a National Profes- sional Football League, embracing The Interprovincial Rugby Foot- bal! Union and The Western Inter- provincial Union, "now is being considered by Canada's eight sen- for clubs and possibly will become an actudlity by the 1851 season." Hev Crighton, nationally-known | Toronto football referee, would be Commissionér, the Telegram sports page story adds, "The four Western clubs (Winni- peg, Regina, Calgary and Edmon- ton) are solidly in accord with the proposition," the story says. "The Montreal Alouettes, who last spring were in favor of appoinismien of a Commissioner to t Big Four operation, are known to favor the idea . . . Would Forsake C.R.U. "If the Big Four and the West- ern Conference were to form East- érn and Western divisions of a National Pro League, they would sever connections with the Can- adian Rugby Union. With the eight clubs in the big-business bracket, they find the C.R.U.s sprawling legislation unsatisfactory for their own specific, localized problems." The paper says that Crighton, top football official in the East for many years, declined to confirm rumor of a National Pro League "but evasively admitted he'd heard about such a plan." "Crighton recently returned from a flying trip to Winnipeg, Regina, Calgary and Edmonton where, at Weshtern Conference invitation, he conducted rules clinics and it is believed the proposition was ad- vanced to him by Western repre- sentatives then." The Telegram says Eric Cradock, Toronto stock-broker and " part owner of Montreal Alouettes, "is known to favor appointment of an independent Commissioner." The Man For The Job It adds that Cradock has told friends "the job is too big for a private businessman" and that "a man like Hec Crighton would be the man for the job." "Formation of a Pro League would end the current raiding of each other's circuit by Eastern and Western Clubs bzcause all players would be under legal contract," the paper 'says. "For the last few years Western coaches have scouted Eastern teams are in the West now who perform- ed in the East last year . .. there is nothing illegal about such switches but both Leagues make the point that they could be more expeditiously consummated by a Commissioner with authority to make quick rulings and who, at the same time, could standardize rules, govern the referees and gen- erally direct the ever-expanding circuits. Might Work With U.S. Teams "A suggestion has been advanced that the Canadian clubs could es- tablish working agreements with for players and at least 20 players American Professional teams , . ."

Oshawa Merchants captured the Coca Cola Trophy, emblematic of the Toronto and District Zone championship in National Baseball Congress eliminations, for the 1850 season, and earned themselves a perth in the Canadian "sandlot championship" playoffs at Londo2 this week, when they defeated To- ronto Mayfairs of the West Toronto League, 9-5 in the re-play of their zone final, at Earlscourt Park, on day night. She ie was a peculiar affair, crammed full of 'both brands of baseball, good and bad, with both teams producing 8 little of each. pring Hits 3-Run Homer «Joe" Spring, on the mound for Mayfair, matched George Davidson in a keen pitching duel for - five full innings and as a matter i fact, had his team in front, thanks to his own 3-run homer out-of-the- park, in the first half of the 5th frame. That blow wiped out Osh- awa's 2-0 lead acquired in. the pottom of the 4th and it looked as if the teams were headed (or a titanic struggle--but in the 6th inning, Spring and his Mayfair team collapsed entirely and Me" chants tallied a half-dozen runs to take the lead -- and clinch the ophy triumph. gi A had two hits in the first, after a double-play had wip- ed out an opening error, with Wood and Hill both clicking, but nothing came of that. McBratney's fine throw to the plate nipped Thomp- son trying to score from 3rd, after Davidson had lined out to short centre. Thompson had to go back to the base to'"tag up" and that mistake in. judgment cost him his chance to beat out the thrrow-in. In the 4th, Hill was safe on an error at 1st and sprinted to 2nd, moved right on to 3rd without stop- ping when the throw to 2nd was also bad. Rowland's single scored Hill with the first run of the game | then Bitman singled to centre and a bad throw to 2nd after Thompson flied out to left. Best Catch of The Night In the 5th, Salmon opened with | a single and after fanning Shea, Davidson then issued a walk who had poled 'a--hard one his first trip to the plate, tied into Davidson's. first pitch, a shoulder-high ball, and poled it right into the right-field bleachers. It would have gone out of the park but a spectator made a prilliant one-handed catch of -the drive, from the top row of seats. It was the best catch of the night. Spring's homer meant three runs and put Mayfairs in front for th: moment, 3-2, Wood's Fine Throw The turning point of the game might well have been Reg. Wood's brilliant throw in the 6th inning. Spier was safe when Rowland er- rored on a ground ball, then Heen- ey singled to left, advancing Spier to 3rd. With none out, Salmon poled one into right field and Wood made the catch, then uncorked a marvellous throw, all the way 'n 'the air, right to Walsh at the plate and Spier, trying to score after the catch, was ou by five feel. Davidson walked the next batter but McCartney forced him at 2nd to end the inning. Oshawa seemed to "catch fire after Wood's fine double-play throw an' Aaron Bitman, big hitter of the night, started off the 6th with a clean single. Payl Thompson then bunted beautifully and beat it out for a hit. Joe Spring falter- ed at this stage. He hit Charlie Walsh with a high, inside pitch, to fill the bases. George Davidson Spring, to centre on | | fall, went dowir after three lusty swings: which brought up Ted Barnes and the play speeded up Spring's down- Pitcher and Manager Ejected Barnes swung hard and hit a bouncing roller down the first base line, about forty feet. Spring tore over from the mound to field the ball and tagged Barnes, but turned into the runner as he made the play. The collision was hard and Spring was floored, dropping the ball. Bitman crossed the plate on the play and time was called, with Spring injured. He took several minutes to regain his béarings -- and then commenced a vigorous argumént with thé umpires, fea turing Umpire Carman Bush and pitcher Joe Spring, with Mayfairs' manager, "Lefty" Parfitt also join- ing in.

He sald it was worked out yesterday at a meet- ing in Galt of membets of the executive and representatives of the clubs. runner was out, either by an of- ficial "tag" or for interference -- and that the runner shouldn't score. Umpire Bush refused to change his decision and finally, af- ter much talk, the game was re- sumed. ; Vic Napolitano, the next batter promptly smacked a clean single into centre-fleld and Spring and Parfit both promptly made un- complimentary remarks to the base-umpire. Spring was ordered from the game and when Parfitt pesristed, he too got the heave-ho. Deluca, who took over mound duties, got Wood to fly to right but Barnes 'scored after the catch. Hill drew a walk and stole second and scored when Rowland was safe on an error. Then a high: throw to 2nd let Rowland reach that base but he was thrown out trying to reach 3rd. By that time six runs had scored. 5 Oshawa added another run in the 7th when. Bitman singled, Walsh doubled and pinch-hitter Andy McMullen hit a long fly to left. DeLaurentis Finishes Game Tony DeLaurentis started on the mound in the 8t hinning, gave up two singles and a walk to the first three batters but got out of it with only one run, by fanning Me- Bratney with the bases loaded. John Thompson grounded out on a slow roller that scored Heeney with the last run of the game. Javieis went out 1, 2, 3 in their oth, Aaron Bitman, with three hits and & walk, was the big hitter of the night and only one of the Mer- chants to get more than one safe blow. Wood's sensational throw also rated him star rank for the outs.

Heath kicked three converts. But time after time he tossed forward passes into the arms of receivers. Hapes didn't score but ripped off big gains along the ground with flashes of speed. Bill Gregus plunged through Sarnia for two touchdowns. Carl Galbraith, Dick Brown, Dante Difransisco, Ray Jones, F. Hamilton, Buddy Rogers and Caine got the others.

Commenting on a story in The Evening Telegram which said such 4 league "is being considered by Canada's eight senior clubs and possibly will become an, actuality by the 1851 season" with Toronto's Hec Crighton as as Commissioner, Alison said: "This idea has been kicked around for three or four years. Such a thing might come about in 10 years or so, and it will take a lot of money to finance it. "How can clubs with Stadiums of 8,000 to 10,000 capacity afford to travel from Mid-West Canada to Montreal or Toronto?" Alison, former President of To- ronto Argonauts in the Big Four, said a Commissioner's salary would be $10,000 to $12,000 a year. "Add an office, Secretarial Staff and all incidental expenses and it means a big outlay. A lot of money is needed." C.R.A.

Oshawa Arena -- Tuesday, August 22 NO TIME LIMIT MASKED MARVEL YUKON PAT FLANAGAN S. WARREN BOCKWINKLE : In Dressing Room Kitchener, Aug. 21--(CP)--Fred | Club yesterday turned in a brilliant | performance at Alexandra Park | {and returned home loaded with | | trophies. He captured firsts in the | quarter-mile and 1,000-metre time | trials, and then came through in a | driving finish to nose out Bill Ham- ilton of the Oshawa Victor Cycle Club in the 5-mile open. The two - time-trial events are! annual affairs, usually run in Oc- | tober, with The Willie Spencer and | The Bill Deacon Trophies at stake. | They were under the sanction and | direction of the Canadian Whee!- | men's Association. | After the twenty-odd contestants | had ground through the I; -mile| time trials for the Willie Spencer | Trophy, Henry and Frank Ball of | Oshawa, the 'defending champion, | were tied with identical times of 33 2/5 secs. They re-rode the dis- tance and Henry captured the cup with a time of 32 7/10 secs, while | Ball repeated his original time of 33 2/5 secs. . The powerful Toronto rider won his second victory of the day and the Bill Deacon Trophy when he toox the tough 1,000-metre trial with a time 'of 1.25 1/5. Once again he was given a chase by Ball, who note: second osition ¥ 1.27 2/5. P i '49 Champ Finishes Third Johnny Millman of Vancouver, Canadian track champion of 1949, a member of the British Empire team this past February, and the present Canadian %-mile champ, scored thirds in both time trial | events. The next event on the program | was an inter-club team pursuit race. Two-man teams were started at equal distances around the track and the idea was to catch all teams until only one remained. Frank Ball and Alan Essery started for the Victor Cycle Club and inside of three laps caught the team from the Silver Spokes Club of Toronto. In the meantime, Queen City Cycle Club's team of Bill Whittaker and Eric Fellows had overtaken Arnold Digby and Art Johnston from To- ronto Cycle Club, and it developed ! into a two-téam race. Shortly after | this, Essery dropped out, .leaving Ball to carry on alone, and after | seven laps, Re yielded to the pres- | e put on h pov y the strong ccc. Exciting 5-Mile Event The five-mile 'event proved very fast and exciting all the way through. On the second lap, Frank Ball punctured but got back in the field after changing back wheels There was a good deal of Jamming all the way through the ride, add- | ing to the excitement. On the final | turn, Hamilton made his bid and | came into the stretch leading Henry by two lengths, but the strong boy | from Toronto drove his bicycle down the stretch to grab the victory right on the tape. Ball was third being a wheel-length back. : The meet served as a tune-up | for the Ontario Championships to be held here on Labor Day, when a full afternoon's racing with riders | from many parts of Canada com- peting, will take place.
