A two-bagger by Leo Peloquin in the second inning was the only hit allowed by the Oshawa left-hander, who chalked up the final total of 10 strikeouts in six frames, and gave up only one walk, Fred Denny, a former member of the Oshawa Generals, played sec- ond base for the Verdun club. Normie Bagnell took over the _ pitching duties in the 7th inning and he struck out eight of the ten batters he faced, issuing one walk and getting the other one himself, on a slow grounder to the box. The two Oshawa hurlers shad to be that good because although Ped- lars collected eight hits off Roy Kirbyson, they didn't get them bunched for even one run and the game stayed at a sensational 0-0 clip until the §th inning when Nor- mie Magee hit a triple with one out. Tony Romaniski popped up a foul which the catcher caught on a dive into the player's bench and the sensational catch hoomeranged as Magee sprinted home after the catch with what proved the win- ning run, . Bagnell fanned the three batters in succession in the 9th to end the game, Bill Barker and Magee each had two hits for Oshawa. PEDLARS: 8. Stark, 3b; J.

A couple of errors and a pair of walks put four Oshawa runners on bases but none of them got as far as 3rd, Bagnell started on the mound for Oshawa and was nicked forza run on two singles and a sacrifice in the first frame. A walk, infield error and safe bunt squeezed home an- other run in the third and in the 5th Walker walked, advanced on a wild pitch and scored on a single by Atcheson. Meulemeester took over in the 6th and pitched well in the 6th and 8th frames but was clipped for five runs in the big 7th inning, when he walked two in succession, then Walker singled, so did Romney and Atcheson tripled and came home on an error. Saindon struck out 16 Oshawa batters registering his no-hitter Montreal Robitaille Motors, sever- al of whom saw action in the Alle Star game Sunday night, which team is currently leading the Snow- den League, will play here on Satur- ay.

Dial 3-2245 Dial 5-3546 | Sports Roundup | New York (AP)-- An '"'upset" in used to be when the No. 2 player accidentally beat the No. 1 man. . . Form was so accurate that it wasn't a question of who would win, but how... Now look what happens. . . Dick Savitt, the lad who stepped out of college into top - flight competition last sum- mer, won the Australian and Wim- bledon titles... on top of that young Tony Trabert knocked off U. 8. champion Art Larsen in the clay courts final and Vic Seixas trimmed veterans Gar Mulloy and Bill Talbert in successive matches at Spring Lake, N. J... It's unde standable once you've seen it hap- pen because all three were reco- gnized as promising players whose development was delayed by the requirements of education. , . Tra- bert, a 20-year-old sophomore at the U. of Cincinnati, still may have a long way to go... Savitt and Seixas came along fast when they found time to concentrate on ten- They staged a 'be kind to um- pires" week in Spokane, Wash., last week and the umps selected, Mickey Hanich and Joe Iacovetti, had - a wonderful time... They were made commodores of the Coeur D'Alene lake navy; they had breakfast in bed and even private floor shows prior to the games... As a grand climax they drove to the field in a new convertible donated by the Junior Chamber of Commerce, wheeled into the park- ing lot and ran into the ball park incinerator behind the stands and smashed it badly. . . The cop in the lot, naturally hollered: 'Hey, can't you see anything?" Bill Moisan, the Les Angeles Pitcher, was taken prisoner on the western front during the war and marched 32 days into the Austrian Alps. His weight dropped from 180 to 100 pounds during the ordeal. .

RAPID ROBERTS REVIEW # ON SPORT Bill Veeck's idea of giving the paying public more than they bargained for when they at- tend a ball game is spreading rapidly all over the continent + +. and more particularly through Ontario. The project of exhibitions of thisa and thata, and of giving away free hot dogs and the like at each game, had a definite spurt when Toronto's new base- . ball czar, Jack Cooke, got on the bandwagon a few short days ago. Up in the Intercounty, they are staging bingos . . . of all things . . . at their games! Two clubs, Guelph and Kitéhener, are holding these "under the Oh" meetings, 'and the idea seems to be paying dividends at the box-office. John Harris and the other members of the Merchants ball executive are not to be outdone in this promot®n stuff, and at the next home game of the lo- cals, we hear there'll be exhibi- tions of base-running speed, andl outfield throwing accuracy. The fans will have to come earlier to see these frolicsome bits, as the regular time for the beginning of the game will be as it was, 8:00 p.m. We wonder if the local man- agement will get around to fire- works displays, free hot dogs and the like before the season is out . , . wouldn't mind a try at bingo either! CHECKLETS -- We received word that the hard-hitting first-sacker with the Trans- porters, Brian McAllister, has been hard-hit by an attack of the flu, and won't be able to play for a few days. : That is the second time this year that "Mac" has been on the sick lish. The first time was after that ankle injury which he received after rounding sec- ond base. Rather tough on the club if this sickness should con- tinue through the week-end. See where "Itsy" Ler, the one- time Peter Pan Cleaners short- stop, now playing with Kitch ener Legion, is rated "most- improved-player". Ler played "brilliant defensive ball" last year, but his hitting was not at all up to par. This season the little guy is packing dynamite in his bat and his average is singeing the 315 mark. That is tops for the Kitchener . club! Remember Alex Stremicki, . the catcher-outfielder we men- tioned the other day? He slug- ged two homers for North To- ronto Bruins against Peter Pans in the first half of last Sun- day's twin-bill at Eglinton Park. Well, the young guy has penned a Cleveland Indian contract, under the guidance of the Tribe's Canadian - chief scout, 'one Clare Moose. The majors are finding lots of material in the North Toronto junior lea- gue, eh? «s+ » By Bob Rifle, Leafs On Move Beat Ottawa By 7-4 Score Montreal Royals are running away with the International Lea- gue pennant but it's doubtful if they will equal the record of the 1937 Newark Bears. The Bears of that year, hailed as the greatest minor-league team ever assembled, won the flag by 25% games. They won 109 games and lost 43 for a .717 mark. The Royals today lead by 11 games In order {o match Newark's victory total of 1937 they must win 51 of their remaining 77 games. Tom Lasorda turned in his 10th victory compared to three defeats as he pitched the Royals to a 14-4 victory over the runner-up Buffalo Bisons last night. The Royals pounded four Buffalo pitchers for 18 hits and wrapped up the game with five runs in the eighth inning. Al Gionfriddo led the attack, driving in four runs on four hits including a home run, The loss cut the Bisons' edge over the third - place Syracuse Chiefs to one percentage point. The Chiefs in turn lead the fourth-place Rochester Red Wings by one per- centage point. A game between the Chiefs and Wings was rained out after a scoreless inning of play. Toronto's fifth-place Maple Leafs drew to within one game of the 500 mark as they defeated Ottawa Giants 7-4. Charlie Grant drove in four Toronto runs. Erv Medlinger gained credit for the victory. Bill Gardner and Harvey Gentry homered for Ottawa. Springfield Cubs edged Baltimore Orioles 2-1 in 13 innings. The Cubs scored the winning run on a two- base error, a walk and fielder"s choice. Rookie Vern Fear checked the Orioles on six hits. He fanned 10 and walked two in gaining his second victory in six decisions.
