Camrazir rem PORT SNAPSHOTS 63) Tonight at the Kinsmen Civic Memorial Stadium, Oshawa Mer- chants are to play the Peterborough club in a Viaduct League game. The score at present is that tlle Merchants are now closer to first place than they were this time yesterday. Merchants were looking for Kingsway Lumber to beat Peterborough so that Oshawa could have a chance of tying the Petes for first place. Well, last night Kingsway did just that--won a game right in the Liftlock"City. Seems the Peter- borough club is just as hard up for pitching material as Oshawa, at the present time, with a couple of their hurlers nursing sore arms. They used outfielder Joe Lowery last night against Kingsway and the Lumbermen won the game. That normally would have set the stage for the big game here tonight--put Oshawa in position to tie Peter- borough for first place, by winning tonight. Instead of that, Oshawa gained only a split in Toronto last night and so the situation is un- changed. Merchants have lost 9 games, Peterborough has lost 7. Oshawd can win tonight over the Liftlock City team but somebody else will still have to beat Peterborough again, in order for Oshawa to finish tied for first. + + * There are two observations that could be made at this stage. First of all, it's quite likely that the Peterborough club will be loses--b they have three beaten again before the games in Toronto mext week and with their team below par, could easily be beaten at Millen Stadium by Kingsway. On the other hand--we fail to see where it matters very much' whether : the Merchants finish in first place or tied for first or in second spot. If they play ball--they can beat the Liftlock City. squad in.any. play- off series--if they play the in-and-out variety they've been display- ing lately--they'll go down like a punctured tire. It's just as simple as that--only thing is, there'll be a lot of entertaining haseball actipn, | to see while the result is being decided. The game here tonight (right now the weatherman looks as if he's not in favor of it) should be another lively battle. The Liftlock City Marines and Oshawa Merchants always put on a real battle and tonight's game will be a lively one. * * +* Last night at Millen Stadium, Merchants won the first game, 4-2, scoring three runs in the first inning when Napolitano and Barnes both walked to open the first inning and then Jim Rogers hit a homer. They got one in the second too and Wayne Grandcolas pitched a nifty @-hitter to win that game--with the Merchants getting 'only six hits also. Oshawa started off the second game with three runs with Dick Berning hitting a double and Rowland a single but Staffords came back and scored 8 runs in thé first inning. Stan Miller started for Oshawa and the first batter up hit a homer. That started the parade. He pitched to six batters and walked two of them, the other four hit safely. Then Bill McTavish, of the Transporters, took over and pitched to three batters and with the bases still loaded and six runs already in, Bill Harper came in for the third pitcher of the first inning. He gave up a hit to. Weir and then got oyt of the hole. Harper was great after that--allowing only one more run in the next four frames and Oshawa climbed back to trail only 9-7 toing into the 6th. Then Staffords got to Harper and Ted Stone, also of game. In addition to McTavish the Transporter, finished out the and Stone, Transporters had Ted O'Connor playing in the outfield and also catching a bit In the first game. Ab Gilbert went in as a runner in' the first game' and sprained an ankle sliding into third base. He'll be out of action for a week-- which is a stern blow to the Transporters, Bill Cook, was working last night while Charlie Walsh and Johnny Kitchen both reported on the sick list, so Merchants took along a few of the Juniors as replacements > A The BRIGHT BITS -- Don't know why Mgr. Mellis didn't use Bob Carl- son last night or go in himself in relief role, because they needed to win both games very badly . . . Carlson may go to the mound tonight against the Liftlock City club--although if his arm is right, it might be Just as well to save him for the playoffs. Bill Dadson will likely be pitching for Peterborough tonight since the Liftlock City club can definitely clinch first place with a victory here tonight . . . The Inter.

Parts & Service couldn't field a team but theyll be on hand for the second game of the semi-finals, which has been called for tonight . move into the finals against United . . If Duplate wins tonight, they'll Taxi for the local Inter. "A" cham- pionship. If Parts & Service win tonight's playoff game, the 3rd and deciding tilt will be at the Stadium on Friday night, at 6.30 o'clock . . . CKLB Wildcats were beaten 3-0 last night at the Stadium by Agincourt, when the local gals ran into the best brand of pitching they've faced in a long time. In the Junior playoff, the" Jr. Wildcats tied with Whitby Torches, 10-10 in a game that was called in the 8th. This series resumes tomorrow night in Whitby. + * + Baseball gloom in Galt! -- Galt Terriers lost their chance to get into the Inter-County playoffs on Monday night when they dropped a 2-1 decision to St. Thomas Legion. Umpire Frank Elliott of St. Catharines was blamed for the defeat--seems he called a drive which went out of the park, clouted by Ted Kaiser, a "foul ball." There was one man on bases at the time and Galt fans, dozens. of 'em, argued that the drive was inside the right- field line by a good two feet. What made matters worse was that St. Thomas is the last-place team in the league and besides that, Kitchener Legion, who had to. win at least once more to clinch 4th spot, final playoff berth, if Galt had 'kept winning, lost their game, to Brantford. A relief pitcher threw the ball to 1st base, .with nobody covering the bag.at the time, this, put a runner on 8rd (the winning run) and the rattled pitcher then committed a balk to allow the runner to score for Brantford, in the 12th inning.

EF ge Army Gridders Get Treatment From Colleges New York (AP) -- Most of the nation's colleges have no strict rules that would prevent them from admitting West: Point's. eutsted football players but many of them today assumed a wary "hands off" policy. This was patticularly true in the conservative Ivy League and in the not - co - conservative Dixie belt, where open grid scholarships long have been advocated. Columbia University said today it normally does not take in trans- fer students and would 'no even consider' accepting students from another institution. This 'appeared to be a rather common attitude in the Ivy League. Army cadets, facing dismissal for violation of the military academy's honor code, said they getting a "cold shoulder' in the east. The University of Virginia, to which a number of the Army grid- ders were pointing, announced that a sudent "suspended or dropped from another college. . .will not be admitted." The professional picture -also darkened today, for the 40 - odd athletes whose careers were inter- rupted by the exam - cribbing scan- dal at West Point. Bem Bell, commissioner of the National Foothall League, said the players would not be eligible for pro teams until their class gradu- ates. In some cases this would be lard would qualify in this respect. William and Mary announced it would review, .case vidy- ally while CAN A Fo iy '"'acceptance of cadets required to withdraw from West Point would constitute complete reversal of the institution's policy." Kenneth (Tug) Wilson, commis- sioner of the Western Conference, said the matter would be left up to the individual schools. Some Big Ten members are reported looking favorably on accepting the Army athletes. voy Many of the players may wind up at smaller, independent schools. "That would be all right with us," one spokesman for the group said. 'Our main thought is to finish our education and return to a nor- mal life." In New York, Cardinal Spellman disclosed that he had asked the presidents of three Roman Catho- lic colleges -- Fordham, Manhat- tan and Iona -- to admit as stu- dents any of the dismissed West Point cadets who apply.

"That bump by Wertz wasn't too bad, but Evers gave me the full treatment. I felt knees, elbows and shoulders," he added. Apparently determined to stop being a Cleveland doormat, the Tigers went all out before losing. . Three times Bengals went roar- ing from third standing up and three times Hegan was belted to the dirt. Once he was knocked out by Hoot Evers. But only one of the three Detroit runners scored-- and then it was a bad throw by Al Rosen that let Vic Wertz across. Despite the jarring, Hegan had a game - winning single left for the bottom of the 10th.. It was his third blow in five trips and boosted his average to .259, up 20 points from last year at this time. This looks like Hegan's best year and it may be because he's getting an occasional rest now that the Tribe has Birdie Tebbetts. This UNION LABEL appears in every TIP TOP garment LEARN TO DRIVE!
