H. CamrssLt f-- -- -- & Tonight's the night for the Oshawa Transporters! The fifth game of their North Toronto League championship. finals is here at the Stadium this evening and a win for the Transporters clinches the title. If they lose--they'll have replay that tie game and.thejmrospects of winning that one would not be nearly as bright. No--the Transporters had better clean ii up tonight. They'll have a banner crowd on hand for this ¢rucial struggle and Coach Willson has his charges in top shape for the big test. North Toronto Bruins will likely send Frank Repchick right back in this one tonight and if not, it will b&§ Purdy Newmarch, a righthander who can be very effective when "on." Don't know who will be pitching for Transporters tonight but it could be "Ab" Gilbert or Jake Durston. At any rate, there'll be a big crowd on hand, there'll be all kinds of excitement--a lot of arguments also, we expect, and above all some good baseball en- tertainment. JL . : * L * Well, it happened! Peterborough lost the last game of the Viaduct Major League schedule--on the very last play of the season--and now Oshawa Merchants and the Petes are tied for first place. They open a 2-out-of-3 series to settle first place, at Peterborough to- morrow night with the second game here on Wednesday. If each team wins one, the Viaduct League executive has ordered the 3rd game to be played at Millen Stadium on Thursday night. That seems fair enough for teams playing in the Viaduct League but we hear that the Petes are ready to refuse to play a 3rd game at Millen Stadium and will insist on tossing for the game. We think the Petes have a good idea--for the Petes--but after all, teams in the Viaduct League owe the League something and if there is a third game, we think it only right it should be played at Millen Stadium. That was the case last year--when Oshawa finished in first place--and there wasn't even a tie to settle, "extra" games were played at Millen Stadium. Petes defeated Croftons 8-0 in the first game and then in the second game lost 4-3. The lowly Croftons had a 3-0 lead at one stage, Petes tied it up--and then in the last of the 7th, 'ith the score tied 3-3, a Crofton runner came home. Al Menzies blocked the plate, the runneresent Menzies (and the ball) sprawling and was called safe. Menzies ranted at the official and so did the rest of the Petes but that was it. Peterborough had lost the last game of the schedule, to Croftons of all teams--and so lost their sole grip on first place. + * * The least said about that baseball game here on aSturday night, the better! There were almost more errors than runs--and there were 23 runs. The scorer charged 21 errors, but leniency held sway and the figure could probably been 30 if strict scoring had been in vogue. There were three players in the game who had three errors apiece and four or five had two apiece. It's a good job we don't mdke practice of publishing box- scores on these games, or the horrible secrets would be out. As it is, about 1,200 cash customers saw the affair but we'll be charitable and not yname the players who had so many bobbles. Oshawa's Bill Harper had 14 strikeouts and Mike Mellis fanned three in the 9th. That's 17 strike- outs and there were at least six putouts on direct-hits, pop-flies, line-drives, etc., and yet Oshawa still kicked in with 10 errors. It was a geod one to get out of their system. At the plate, Merchants showed power, scoring in every inning but one, which included homers by Dick Berning and Jim Rogers. The Buffalo colored Giants scored 9 runs on only 7 hits. That's where the effect of the Oshawa errors was naticed-- but the Giants, any resemblance to a good- baseball team being merely accidental, had 11 errors. Their 2nd baseman, Johnny Moore, turned in some sensational fielding, the only bright spot in Buffalo's display. We heard a lot of fans criticising the umpires but for sure, this was one game where the players missed more than the officials. It was that the Buffalo Giants--we've had 'em! * * + Other playoff games around these paris 'on Saturday found the North-East Giers nosing out the South-West Bruins 5-3 at Alex- andra Park. An outfielder dropped a fly ball with two out in the 9th and the score tied at 3-3 with two men on bases and that meant the game right there. These two clubs will settle the U.A.W.A. Juvenile league championship, in the third and deciding game, up at Alexandra Park tonight and the winner opens the Provincial playoffs, against North York, here in Oshawa this Wednesday evening. * + * In the O.AS.A. Bantam playoffs, Oshawa Kiwanis Bantam League representatives from Bathe Park, dropped a tough 14-13 decision to the North York Cubs, up at Ledbury Park in North Toronto. The Cubs scored two runs in the 8th and two more in the last of the 9th--after two out--to win the game by one run. Second game of this series is over at Bathe - Park this evening at six o'clock, when the Oshawa Bathe Park lads hope to éven up the series and force a third game. In other Minor softball playoffs, Ajax Three-Stars open the B'Nai B'Rith Midget League semi- finals tonight, up at Rundle Park on Park Road South and Rundle Parkers play back in Ajax on Wednesday night. +* * + Oshawa Duplate ran into a snag at Peterborough on Saturday night, losing the return game of their 0.A.S.A. Inter. "A" series by a score of 8-6. Third and deciding game of this Provincial playdown will be played here at the Kinsmen Civic Memorial Stadium to- morrow night. Duplates didn't play their best brand of ball in the Liftlock City on Saturday night but in this playoff business you're only allowed one losing game, so the local Inter. "A" champions will have to come up with their top-notch brand of ball here tomorrow night if they wish to reach the Eastern Ontario finals in this series. + There's a replay game over at Westmount's Radio Park tonight that is bound to be an exciting affair. It's called for six o'clock. Seems that the Whitby Torches lodged a protest over that last game, which was the 3rd and deciding tilt, won by the Junior Wildcats with an 8-run rally in the 8th inning. The umpire called the game at the end of eight frames, on the grounds that it was too dark to finish.another full inning. It's the first time we've ever heard of a league going against an umpire's ruling of this nature. We hear that the fact another game in progress in the same park, continued for another ten minutes or so, had a bearing on the case although we fail to see what the judgment of an umpire in one game has to do with the judgment of an official engaged in a game on another diamond. At any rate, over the week-end it seems the irate Oshawa Jr. Wildcats have had a ruling from a Provicial Women's Softball Union executive officer that "imports" are not allowed, that a residence rule" .s in force. In effect this apparently means that three members of the Whitby Torches, who reside here in Oshawa (one of them in Harm- ony) are not eligible to play for Whitby, since they do not live there. That makes sense of course and we hear that the Wildcats are now going to protest officially if they lose tonight's game to Whitby, if the Whitby team uses Oshawa players. on hum--some fun, eh? +» * BRIGHT BITS -- Oshawa Red Raiders, a very good Inter. ORFU team, tangled with Toronto Balmy Beach, a very good Senior ORFU team, here at the Stadium on Saturday afternoon apd about 300 fans saw some interesting gridiron entertainment. Red iders didn't impress in a scoring way but they showed plenty of spirit and now they'll get around down to seriqus training, in preparation for their season's schedule, which opens the second week in September . . . Al. McKee pitched 5-hit ball for Duplate at Peterborough on Saturday night but seven walks and some bad errors cost the Oshawa team the game, so now they have to win here tomorrow night--or else. Winner of to- morrow night's 3rd and deciding game here takes on Kingston in the next round, the Limestone City Inter. "A" club eliminating Belleville Inters. in two-straight games . . . Legion Minor Baseball Association players should look at today's Minor Baseball column for information regarding future playoffs . . . We predict a crowd of over 2,000 for the Kinsmen Stadium this Wednesday night . , .

Park to, Ottawa -- (CP) -- Classy golf per- formances by Nick Weslock and Gerry Kesselring gave Ontario the Willingdon Cup Saturday by the biggest margin in the interprovin- cial team event since 1928. Ontario's aggregate score of 585 was 18 better than the total compiled by the second - place Bri- tish Columb team. With the exception of Saskatche- wan and Nova Scotia, the rest of third place, was only one stroke the field 'was biinched. Alberta, in [sh back of B.C. with a 604 total and the dual-province entry of New Brunswick and Prince Edward Is- land was fourth with 605. Quebec was another single stroke batk in fifth place and Manitoba was sixth with 612. Saskatchewan had 638 and Nova Scotia 640. Weslock, called "Mr. Wedge" by competitors because of his slic] handling of the iron in sand traps, provided the day's best individual owing. The husky, 34-year-old sharp- shooter from Windsor's Essex Club was the only player among the 32 making up the eight four-man teams to break the Royal Otta- wa's tough par 71 in both rounds. He toured the rolling, gully - cut course in 68 in the morning and fired a 70 in the afternoon. - Kesselring, 23 - year - old On- k |tario amateur champion from Kitchener, had rounds of 72 and 70. All other contestants were over par from the full distance although Alberta's long - hitting Glenn Gray |} of Edmonton produced a sub - par 69 on hig second round. The other two members of On- tario's winning team, veteran Phil Farley of Toronto and Don Varey of Brantford, had 149 and 156 re- spectively. WESTLOCK 1S FAVORED Wesloek, runner - up to Bill Maw- hinney of Vancouver in the Can- adian amateur last year, is rated a strong contender for the amateur title this year. The week-long eyent ONTARIO GOLFERS WIN WILLINGDON CUP IN SMART SHOW gets under way today. However, the amateur is a match-play event and Weslock hasn't fared so well in this type of play in the past. Mawhinney, who had a big 152 in Willingdon Cup play, is expected to pull up his socks in the twosome- style game. - Others: expected to make a bid for the title are Kesselring, a slender and able artist with the long irons; Gray, on the basis of his fine Willingdon Cup showing, and Walt McElroy of Vancouver. COMEDY OF ERRORS The Buffalo Giants, a colored team with a lot of chatter, a bril- liant second-baseman and little else, visited Oshawa Merchants for an exhibition game on Saturday night and it proved to be just that --the final score of 14-9 being eclipsed by the fielding perfor- mances of the two teams. The wisitors won one of the com- petitions--they had 11 errors to Oshawa's 10. There were 21 errors chalked up by a scorer who could have found at least a third more with less leniency. Mark Smallwood opened the ball game with a triple, a drive that dropped rapidly in front of out- fielder Bill Cook and then got past him. Smallwood pulled up at 3rd and then stole home. That right there was the tip-off to the type of game it was going to be--and it was. PLENTY OF STRIKEOUTS The wonder of it all is that Osh- awa found time or the chances to commit ten errors because they didn't have many fielding. plays. There are only 27 putouts in a 9-inning game and catcher Jimmie Rogers had 18 of these, 17 of them on strikeouts. Of the other nine putouts, five were straight outs, on "pop flies" or "line drives" to infielders and .one fvas an easy grounder to Rowland right at 1st base. On top of that, Oshawa had a double-play. Bill "Lefty" Harper chalked up 14 strikeouts in. eight frames and Mgr. Mike Mellis, who pitched the 9th inning, struck out three batters in succession. Certainly the visitors could not be acsused of showing much power at the plate. They had a triple, two doubles and four singles but aided by Errors they scored nine runs with those seven hits, plus a "hit-by-pitcher" and one of the four walks issued by Harper. THE BIG HITTERS Tommy Lynn and Tommy Wim- bley each had two hits for the Buffalo boys. Bill Harper, besides doing a fine Victors Trim Cobourg Juvs By 1-3 Score Victory Juveniles handed out a 7-3 setback to the visiting Cobourg team in a game played at Lake- view Park yesterday afternoon. Bilenduke pitched a three-hitter for the win and had solid slugging support from his mates all the way. Lingard was the losing moundsman, He gave up 13 hits for seven rums. Bill Kellar"s double in the last of the third sparked the first Osh- awa uprising. They added four more in the last of the fourth on three hits and three walks. Kellar, Pallis- ter and Attersley hit for the win- ners. Three straight bingles by Atters- ley, Stroz and Kellar sent over an- other tally in the sixth and that closed out the scoring. Cobourg got their first run in the fourth when Pearce made first on a dropped third strike. A walk sent him to second, a ground out to third and Baswell's single scored the run. Cane walked to lead-off in the seventh for Cobourg. Campbell singled him to third and the runner scored after the catch on Lingard's fly into right field. Cobourg put together another scoring threat in the eighth when they got men on second and third with one out. A strikeout and an infield fly halted the rally. Three up and three down for Oshawa in the eighth and the same for Cobourg in their half of the ninth saw the final score 7-3.

Buffalo Giants Play Like Midgets, Locals Little Better Except at Bat job on the mound Wita his pitching performance, had three hits in five trips while Johnny Kitchen with three-for-five also along with Vic Bill Cook, each of whom had a pair of safeties, were the other big hitters for Oshawa. Every Oshawa player at least one hit. a walk to Napolitano, stolen base, catcher's bad throw and an out- field fly. They bunched five hits in succession in the next frame and got a paimof runs out of this. From that Point on the Oshawa club scored in every inning, except Merchants got their first run on bs the 8th when they missed. Dick Napolitano, Jimmie Rogers and Berning's homer, out-of-the-park, in the 4th climaxed a 4-run rally opened by Harper's double. Bern- ing's blow came with Napolitano and Morales en bases as the time, both on singles, In the 7th Oshawa had another 4-run splurge, opened with three successive infield singles, all to the 3rd-nase territory and then after a few bad throwing errors, that saw Jose Morales get on base via a fielder's choice and then start a non-stop-run that took him from ist to the plate, Jimmie Rogers finished it off with an inside-the- park homer. That proved the last hit and last run ef the nightmare display. Three players in the game, two of them Oshawa performers, had three errors chalked against them and four other players had two errors apiece, Buffalo ...... 120 020 220-- 9 7 11 121 411 40x--14 16 10 COLORED GIANTS--Smallwood, 3b and c¢; Moore, 2b; Lynn, 1b; Gilmore, ss; Wimbley, ¢ and 3b; T.

The boys expected the game to be a tough grind all the way. One" in which all their players could get a chance to show what they have or have not in te way of ability, and one in which the coach could try some of his newly thought-up plays. Beaches took the game 51-0 and looked very potent' in doing so. They didn't use an aerial attack, preferring to stay on the ground and cut off large chunks of yardage at each plunge. BIG CHARGER A chap named Pulley was the big boy in this charging attack by the Queen City crew. He ate up more yards on his plunges alone than the Raiders made all day. Still if you look at the game from the standpoint of a training grind, you'll notice that the Raiders had four Majors scored against the second, another in the third and three in the final quarter. An analysis of this would be as follows. The Raiders were having trouble getting their attack under- way in the first quarter, found their feet in the second and third, but tired in the fourth quarter. Remember Beaches have been working out for close to a month now and are in top shape. Re- member also that this is the first test for Oshawa, and t the fifth for Beaches. It makes a dif- ference? 0 them in the first quarter, one in: A LESSON IN GRIDWORK ... Beaches Seniors Drub Raider Inters 51-0 Getting back to the game, it was the plunging, of little Jim Loreno that sparked Oshawa's first quarter drives, but these were nul- lified time and again by off-sides along the line. Inexperience was the trouble there, SCORES MAJOR Pulley teok the ball for Beaches at the Oshawa 25, lugged it to the four and then on a second try, went over for the major. This time he went around the end on a fake buck over centre. Shag Thomas' wide. George Ellis and Bob Clayton shared the starring roles for the Raiders in the' next. moments as their back to the wall the Raiders tried desperately to keep the enemy from scoring. _ Bobby Lee passed to Gilmour for the set-up play to Beaches second conversion was touchdown, Alexander took the ball on & hand-off to the left of centre and went over from the 10-yard line for the touch. Thomas again muffed the conversion, The Raiders put on a spurt about this time and seemed to be headed out of their end for the first time, but a fumble on a lateral behind the line of scrimmage.saw McGee grab the pill and fall on it over the goal-line for the enemy's third major, This time Thomas toed the ball neatly through the uprights to make the score 16-0. RAIDERS WILT . The Raiders wilted till 'quarter- time and a pass from Lee to Fisher was good for yards on a third down . . . not only that, but Fisher cut through the wide tertiary de- fender and waltzed over the line Bathe Park Bantams Lose 14-13 Oshawa Youngsters Lose 1st Game in Provincial Playdowns When North York Scores 2 Runs in 9th Inning Oshawa Bathe Park Bantams, rep- resentatives of the Kiwanis Ban- tam League of the Oshawa Minor Softball Association, opened their OASA Provincial playdowns at Led- bury Park, in North York on Sat- urday afternoon by dropping a heart-breaking 14-13 decision. Second game is at Bathe Park here, tonight, at 6:15, o'clock. : The North York Cubs scored two runs in the 9th inning to eke out the win over the Oshawa young- sters. It was a 0-0 ball game until the 3rd when the Oshawa boys broke out in a hitting spree that netted the msix runs with McMahon and Strutt hitting doubles, North York Cubs came back with four runs in their half of the third inning and scored four more in the 4th to take an 8-6 lead. They added lone tal- lies in the fifth and sixth innings to boost their lead.te 10-6. In the 7th, Strutt and Elliott clicked for the Oshawa crew to narrow the margin and then in the 8th Oshawa Bathe Parkers scored five runs. Chomiak started this rally off, North York Cubs Here Tonight after one out, by hitting a two- bagger then B. Goodall, McMahon, King, Strutt and A. Goodall kept it rolling with five runs. This rally put Oshawa in front 13-10 but they failed to hold their lead. McMahon, on the mound weakened in the 8th permitting Macey and House to score for the Cubs, making the score 13-12. Bathe Park got a runner to 3rd |* ° in the 9th but couldn't get him home and then went into the last of the final frame, with a one-run lead. Disera, Bayer and Knight all clicked all got on bases as Mc- Mahon faltered. He fanned Trakas but Macey grounded, scoring Disera with the tying run and leaving the bases loaded. Then McMahon struck out House but Dickinson clicked and = that borught home Bayer with the winning run. Rawmoski and Kocey each hit homers for Bathe in the big 3rd- inning rally and Strutt hit one in the Tth.

Thomas booted the ball on a good conversion to up the count to 22-0. In the second quarter, the Osh- awa line caught hold and on one occasion recovered a fumble in the Beaches backfield, Ellis in his unfamiliar signal-calling spot, was again the bright spot in the situa- tion, getting the team into the enemy end for the first time. However Beacher took over when the Raiders failed to make yards and rolled downfield. They reached a third down at one spot and pulled a pass on the play that was good. Price took the ball after that and plunged to the Oshawa 1-yard line. Lee then spun over centre for the 27-0 major, Thomas connected on the conversion to make it 28-0. Just as the half ended, Ellis completed the first Oshawa pass, tossing to Cec Armstrong for a gain of about 12 yards. ON EQUAL FOOTING After the half, the Raiders kept on an equal footing with Beaches until the late minutes when fatigue set in. Wally Mozewsky, the Cen- tral Collegiate Senior star . . . who'll be playing for that club this year, . intercepted a Beaches pass on the Oshawa 20 and ran it out to midfield. The locals then tried a sleeper pass to Armstrong, but although in the wide-open spaces along the left side, Cec flubbed the catch and lost the best chance Oshawa had at a TD. Pulley was put back into the game as time ran out in the quarter and he lugged the ball on a neat end-around play over the goal-line to make it a 33-0 score, Thomas again booted the conversion. Beaches finally hit the air in the last quarter, and with a ven- geance. Bobby Lee pro-passed to Price for a big gain and shot an- other short end pass to the same guy for a touchdown. Thomas again made with the toe on the convert for a 40-0 count. Alexander scored the next major for Beaches, with Fisher getting the last. Thomas converted the first, but had the second blocked. Showing well in these late stages for the Raiders was newcomer Mike McArthur, He was playing a great defensive game, and recovered an Oshawa fumble on offense. Stan Hodgson passed to him for one of the local's big gains of the day . a 35-yard heave. Roy Turnbull was another who showed staying power in this last quarter. The Raiders open their regular schedule halfway through Septem- ber against Cobourg Ghosts, Noth- ing definite on schedules has yet been announced. : Beaches .... 22 6 6 17-51 Oshawa .... 0 0 O 0--0 TORONTO BALMY BEACHES-- Ends, Henley, Gilmour; middles, McCallum, Hampton; insides, Shirk, Thomas; centre; quarter, Lee; halves, Long, Pulley, Alexander and French.
