They will take it all in a canter too--IF-- they keep on playing the brand of ball they showed their Oshawa fans here last night. Transporters were sensational with their fi>lding, their hitting was solid--not as many as theyll] need--but enough for this game because "Ab" Gilber rned in a fine mound chore to hold the Bruins to a lone tally that robped Gilbert of his shutout in the 9th in- ning. Winning the North Toronto League championship finals, Trans- porters lost the first game and tied the third one--but won their three home starts. Now Transporters are to meet the Torontr Playground Junior champions, It's reported that "Glad" Calhoun's winners this year will not be too strong but at any rate, they're not quite ready yet to start their series with Oshawa so it looks as if the Transporters will not be in action again now until the end of this week. L 3 * * In other playoff action around these parts last night, they set- tled the 1951 UAWA Juvenile Softball League championship for one thing. This is the first season that the UAWA has operated a Juv- enile league, sponsoring the entire circuit and for a first season, it was a distinct success, Last night at Alexandra Park the North- East Tigers defeated the South-West Bruins in the third and decid- ing game of the championship finals. The Tigers will now take on North York Juveniles in tke first round of Ontario Amateur Soft- ball Association playdowns, with the first game of the round being ordered for Alexandra Park tomorrow evening at 6.15 o'clocl. Up at Wedftmount's Radio Park last night, the Whitby Torches won that replay over the Westmount Jr. Wildcats and that should close up that league for the season, but we wduldn't be too sure of it, Over at Bathe Park last night, the Bathe Park Bantams, representing the Oshawa Kiwanis Bantam Softball League, could field only nine play- ers, due to sickness and holidays, but the nine boys turned in a bril- liant display to defeat North York Cubs 18-8 and so tie up their OASA Bantam playoff series at one win apiece. The third and de- ciding game of this series between the Bathe Park lad$ and their North York rivals, will be played over at Pickering, tomorrow even- ing at 6.15 o'clock. . + + * Oshawa Merchants open their series with Peterborough, up in the Liftlock City tonight. We say "their series" because we don't really know what else to call it. It's eur uinderstanding that they're playing a 2-out- of-3 game series to settle' which team is entitled to first place in the Via- duct Major League standing. The games are booked for Peterborough tonight and back in Oshawa tomorrow night and if they each win a game, then the third game is booked for Millen Stadium and scheduled for Thursday night. At the moment, the Petes say they will toss a coin for the 3rd game but will not play at Millen Stadium. However, that's only a small whirl in the.big whirlpool, Meantime, TABA men say Osh- Ottawa (CP)-- There isn't a sure bet in sight for the Canadian ama~ teur golf championship, thanks largely to the giant-killing of a freshman. Johnston McCormick of Toronto is pretty much of a giant himself in size. A 27-year-old blonde, he's six feet four. But in the golf 'world up to now he's been just another four handicapper. ; When he came up against husky Nick Wi k of Windsor in the opening d yesterday of Can- adian amateur at the Royal Otta- wa, the experts literally shuddered from him. For Weslock is to Canadian ama- teurs what Ben Hogan is to United States pros. The wedge expert broke the competitive course re- cord Saturday in a par-shattering display which paced Ontario to Willingdon Cup. Even his practice rounds were sensational parbreak- ing performances. So what happens? McCormick, whose home club is the nine-hole Toronto Humber Valley course, knocks off the tournament ace, onc up. Most members of Willingdon Cup teams drew first-round byes but many of those who played were sidelined. Doug Silverberg of Red Deer, Alta., 1950 junior champion and runner-up this year, was an- other first-round victim. Silverberg appeared Jo be pres- sing too hard during" his match with Ron Going of Ottawa and never uncovered the form he dis- played earlier. He lost 5 and 3. Bob Wylie of Calgary and Jim | Harper of Edmonton, both mem- bers of Alberta's Willingdon Cup team, lost out to less highly re- garded golfers. Wylie bowed 3 and 2 to Colin Brown of London, Ont., and Harper was defeated 3 and 1 by Hillis Pickens of Montreal. Big Mike Pidlaski, Winnipeg, a member of Manitoba's Willingdon Cup team, was eliminated by Don Cordukes of Ottawa on the 18th when Cordukes sank a 15-foot putt TORONTO UNKNOWN OUSTS NICK WESLOCK IN CANADIAN AMATEUR for the hole. Young 'Bob Hall of Monlreal, Quebec Willingdon cupper and 1949 Canadian junior champ, was taken was an 18th-hole decision and both shot medal play 72s. Gerry Kesselring of Kitchener, Ont., former Canadian junior champ and Ontario Willingdon cup per, boosted his stock as outstand- ing contender for the title by de- Jeane Jim Gibson of Toronto 5 and 4. OUST N.T. BRUINS BY BOB RIFE After leading the league ali year long, Oshawa Junior Transporters last night captured the North To- ronto Baseball Association cham- pionship, defeating North Toronto Bruins 8-1 in the fifth game of their series. Oshawa took the series three games to one, with one game tied. It was the calm, capable hurling of right-hander Ab Gilbert that did the trick. Ab was still suffering the after effects of that night with the Merchants when he twisted his ankle, and wasn't as steady on is pins as is usually the case. Just e same, his little hoppy curve was splitting the platter, and making a lot of batters swing way too hard. SPECTACULAR STOPS He allowed - five very scattered hits for one run, and got the kind of support from his mates of which pitchers dream, The Oshawa field- ing was simply &pectacular. By way of comparison, Frank Repchick also gave up five scat- tered bingles, but his mates bobbled five times, He fanned six men and walked seven, while Ab walked two and struckout two, Bill Andrescik singled into left to 'open the game. Jack Colvin popped out, but Ron Spong saw four bad ones to gain first and push Andrescik to second. Gilbert then got the next two men to pop- up to the infield. Transporters 8-1.. Some solid swinging in the last of that frame paid-off in four runs for the home crew. 'fed O'Connor led-off with a single. into centre. Coggins' drive into right was mis- judge" to put men on first and second. "Crabby" Jozkoski walked and the sacks 'were loaded. Brian McAllister came through in the clutch with a line-shot into left-centre to score two runs, Nick Mroczek followed that with a double into deep centre to score another run, MAKES IT 4-0 . Hooper flied to short centre and the runners held. Hastings fanned, but the catcher dropped the ball and Jake made for first."The throw to that sack was on time, but the return wasn't and McAllister rolled over the dish with the 4-0 tally. Sarnovsky flied to left to end the rally. From that point till the seventh, Repchick pitched no-hit no-run ball. The "6nly trouble , . . for Bruins, that is . . . was the fact that Ab Gilbert knocked down the batters in one-two-three order from the third to the seventh frames for a magnificent show, He was helped quite a bit by some great line-drive catches by Johnny Jozkoski, Ted O'Connor and Brian McAllister, the latter's being, a real gem, and by a twin- killing in the sixth that went from third-to-second-to-first. Ab did his part too, handling four chances himself in flawless style. MASSED ARTILLERY Came the last of the seventh and the Oshawa artillery massed their power for two hits and two runs. O'Connor made first on an error by the second-sacker. Coggins tripled into right-centre to score the fifth run of the game, Jozkoski popped out, but McAllister got his second safety of the night, a three-bagger into the same spot as Coggins' blow, That brought the second run home. Mroczek fanned and while Hooper was at bat McAllister tried to steal home. He was called out by the umpire before he even began his slide. Hooper finally got to the plate in the eighth and after seeing three balls, walked to the corner of the box to wait for the fourth, The pitch was in the dirt and Iiooper moved toward first. He was called back . . . the umpire thought he had been out of the box, and had mentally called time on the pitch. Hooper stepped back in, worked the count to 3-2 and then got a free ticket to first. Hastings got his second walk, and that put men on first and sec- ond. A wild pitch and they were in scoring position, Henry Sarnovsky slammed the ball into deep centre and a bad grab allowed in two runs. Gilbert sacrificed Hank to second, but the outs were obtained before he could score. That left the score at 8-0 going into the ninth, with Gilbert toss- ing a three-hit shutout. \ Take NTBA Jr. Championship BREAKS SHUTOUT Spong lined te O'Connor to open the ninth. Alex Harasym tickied a straight ball into deep centre for a three-bagger. It was the first and only extra-base hit off Ab that night. Don Irwin followed with a single to right to score Harasym and break the string of goose-eggs. Hatt flied to centre and Maik hit into a fielder's choice that nipped Irwin going into second. That play ended the game and the series. Oshawa in their first year of NTBA play, were the new champions! : The next series for the club will be against the Toronto Playground League champions. Should the locals win that, and all indications point that way, they would then advance to the Toronto final against the most likely opposition, the West Toronto League champs. That one should be a series. R. H. E.

Canuck Junior Tennis Play Reaches Semi's Ottawa (CP) -- Semi - finalists in the junior men's singles compe- tition will be decided today at the 1951 Canadian junior tennis cham- pionships at the Rideau lawn tennis club. . Eight players yesterday complet- ed the fourth round of the event and hope to use today's fifth round as a stepping stone into the semi- finals. Of the eight eliminated in the fourth round, four were top-seeded United States and Canadian play- ers. Jean Dussault of Montreal de- feated Ray Widelski of Buffalo, N. Y., third seeded in the foreign group in straight sets 7-5, 7-5. Grant Logie, third in the Canadian seeding, went down to defeat be- fore Paul Lefrancois of Montreal, 6-3, 6-4. Frank Nolan of Halifax, fourth seeded in the Canadian players, was beaten by John Griffith of Regina, and Jim Streeter of Rothe- say, N. B., was defeated by Ken Lawson of Calgary. Scores were 6-2, 6-1 in each case. Four others who will move into the fifth round are Fred Reaume, Hamilton; Alfred Levy, Buffalo, N. ¥., Dudley Johnston, Jackson- ville, Fla., and Jim Killeen of Van- couver. There were no upsets in the junior women's singles event with the favorites continuing to head the TABA in Ontario playdowns nor for the Toronto City Championship list awa and Peterborough can not compete for the right to represent the and Daily Star Trophy. They want to be sure of having a Toronto team win that trophy and also have a Toronto team in the OBA semi-finals. The Viaduct League is part of the TABA and actually under the TABA Jeff Arnold of Coral Gables, Fla., U. 8. favorite in the boys' singles, advanced into the third round, de- feating Tommy Fagan of Cornwall Jurisdiction but they say that Oshawa and Peterborough are to start |6-0,6-2 the Viaduct League semi-finals as soon as they've decided first place. * + * Meanwhile, the Inter-County senior loop is in the finals right now and expect to have their champions declared by Lgpbor Day, Sept. 3, or at least, by the middle of next week. They have announ- ced that they'll wait until Saturday, Sept. 8 (maybe they'd wait un- til the Monday even) and no longer, to start an OBA series--with Peterborough or Oshawa--otherwise if nobody is ready to play the I-C champs by Sept. 8th, they will disband their team and send their team and send their U.S. imports back home. It boils down to this TABA wants to keep Toronto trophy and playoff rights for Toronto teams--Viaduct League wants to grab off the dough that they would get from playoffs on a percentage basis--with the receipts bound to be high if Oshawa and Petes are in but likely to be only "peanuts" it it's just a playoff among the Viaduct League teams. Petes and Merchants mightibe better off to call these first two games the first two of their own serits, say a 5-out-of-9 affair--and be ready for the winners to take on the 'Inter-County champions, on Sept. 8th. The Viaduct League would take a dim view and might refuse to ac- cept Oshawa and Peterborough entries next season. On the other hand--what would be the point in playing if the TABA would ig- nore the winners and it would be too late to play the I-C champs? * + * BRIGHT BITS--Oshawa Duplates and Peterborough U.E. play the 3rd and deciding game of their OASA Inter. "A" playoff series here at the Stadium tonight. This is the final game for these two teams -- the winner to meet Kingston in the Eastern Ontario zone finals. Duplates should be able to win this: game on their home field tonight but it's likely to be a real nip-and-tuck, drag-em-out affair right to the end of the 9th inning . . . Rundle Park and Ajax didn't get a game played here last night so they'll start their series in Ajax, tomorrow night and play back at Rundle Park on Friday evening ... Whitby Stokers and |25 Dunbarton are playing in Pickering tomorrow night under the lights, first game of their OASA Inter. "B" series and at the same time, Pick- ering's Inter. "C" team will be playing down in Hastings or Marmora, in the first game of their 3rd round OASA playdowns . . . North York Juveniles play the Oshawa Tigers, first game of the provincial playoff series, up at Alexandria Park tomorrow night at 6.15 o'clock . . . Looks like a busy night tomorrow, for the sport fans of this district. * RK * There'll be a meeting between the club executives at Peterborough tonight and maybe something 'will be settled--but we doubt it. If the Viaduct League would cut their semi-finals down to a 2-out-of-3 series instead of the proposed 3-out-of-5 and cut their finals down to 3-out-of- 5 instead of a 7-game affair, then the winner could still be ready by Bept. 8th to play the I-C team and the Viaduct League would get their playoff "take"--and the TABA would have the rest of .the teams to themselves, As we see it, the Viaduct League can not give 5-game semi- finals and a 7-game final and still let Oshawa and Petes be ready by then the. Peterborough and Oshawa clubs may decide to accept the Bept. 8th so if the Viaduct men will not "give a little to get & little" PABA. ruling and hold their own playoff only--then move to Brantford or London for an OBA series. Meanwhile the fans are sure of some ex- -piting baseball and the big game here tomorrow night should be 'a hum- dinger. The Petes and Merchants are both in top gear now and ready for the "blue chibs" geofes. We're. going. to the Tiftlory Oy tomtint 1 we how they start off! : In the second round of the junior men's doubles, John McLean and Ray Olear, among the top U. S. players, from Buffalo, N.

CANUCK GETS AWARD FOR SPORTMANSHIP Columbus, 0.-- (AP) -- Because he refused to win the easy way, a Canadian youngster had his "mo- ment of glory yesterday. Rod Goodes of Hamilton, who lost his first - round match in the United States caddie tournament, received the Horace Heidt sports- manship award -- a $250 college scholarship. Goodes was ready to go atthe assigned time for his consolation match but his opponent was caddy- ing for a friend still in the cham- pionship running.

Night Asha OSHAWA De ---- BIG 'N' ROUGH... Taking the lead early in the game, Oshawa's West Palms, troun- ced the Brooklin Juveniles 7-2, 'in Brooklin Arena last night. | The Brooklin boys showed a dire need for more practice and condi- tioning 'before they are ready to compete in the OLA Midget play- offs this fall. Oshawa's club, made up of much heavier boys, than the local club, barged their way through the Brooklin line and only theis inac- curate shots on goal prevented them from piling up a greater score. Ronald Asling, scoring one of Look Out Below! --Central Press Canadian, Water skiers Jake McGuire, up in the air, and Dick Pope, Jr. are seen here struttin' their stuff at Cypress Gardens, Fla., in prepara- tion for the U.S. national water ski tourney to be held at Lake Placid, N.Y, this month. McGuire, recent winner of the U.S. eastern singles title at Pennyan, N.Y. will partner Pope in doubles contest and then will compete against defending champion and favorite in singles event. Brooklin's goals and assisting' on the other was Brooklin's leading player, as he played a good game both offensively and defensively. D. Craggs lead the scoring for Oshawa, notching two counters.

"Monte is the most under-rated player in the league," the Giants' manager said. "Every time I look up he gets the big hit." If the Giants themselves had to pick one of their number who has furnished the most spark for their 16-game winning streak, the finger probably would point to the big Negro speed merchant. Batting .310 and a terror on the base paths, the six - foot - one, 195-pound flychaser, is second only to Pittsburgh's Ralph Kiner in runs - batted - in. He has 93 to the Pirate slugger's 94. This is all the more impressive when you take into account that Kiner has hit 36 home runs while Irvin has connected for only 17. But Irvin delivers when men are on base and when the Giants need a rally. Irvin's value was never more vi- viqly demonstrated than in yester- day's double victory over Chicago Cubs -- 5-4 in 12 innings and 6-3. In the first game he laced out two singles in five times at bat, one of them in the crucial 12th to keep Giant hopes alive. Besides, he scored once from second on an infield out and stole a base. In the second game he poled a long home run and a single in four times at bat. During the day, the right - handed hitter slashed two hits to rightfield, one to centre and one to left -- an inconsistency that forces pitchers into strait-jackets. Irvin, 30-year-old outfielder who has doubled at first base, has been a key factor in the Giants' rash of close - shave victories -- games yanked out of the conflagration as yesterday's opener.

That happened 25 years ago, and now Don Richmond of Rochest- er Red Wings is aiming to make history repeat. Richmond, last year's batting champ with a .333 'average, and the current leader this season with a mark of .354, would like to in- scribe his name in the record books next to Jim Walsh, a former Buf- falo player. Walsh accomplished the feat dur- ing the 1925 and 1926 seasons when he led the league with averages of .357 and .388. The left - handed hitting Rich- mond connected for three hits in five trips last night as the second- place Red Wings shaded Toronto Maple Leafs 6-5. Richmond's third hit of the game was a ninth - inning home run with a man on base and enabled the Wings to come from behind and win, The Rochester third baseman leads his nearest competitor, Marv Rickert of Baltimore tallied twice in.the 12th inning to lict the first- place Montreal Royals 5-3 as Lou Possehl outpitched Tommy Lasor- da to register his 10th victory. The defeat reduced the Royals' league- lead to 10 games.'Marv Rickert, who tops the league in homers, walloped his 31st for the Orioles. Jack Griffore of Syracuse Chiefs turned in a brilliant mound per- formance as he blanked Buffalo Bisons 1-0 on two hits. It was his 13th triumph. The Chiefs tallied the only run of the contest in the fourth inning on a walk to Loren Babe, a double by Eddie Shokes and Hank Workman's ground out. Springfield Cubs rallied for five runs in the seventh inning to de- feat Ottawa Giants 6-4. Bill Padget went the route for the Cubs to win his 15th game. The victory moved Springfield to within one game of seventh place.

Playing over Toronto's Lambton Golf Club Monday, in the first half of the 36-hole competition he turned in a par 71 -- four strokes head of his nearest competitior, A. B, Mcewan of Montreal Kana- waki, a former titleholder. The field of 200 was divided in two parts, half playing at Lamb- ton, the other half at the Weston golf club. Last year's titleholder played a steady golf game Monday. He went out in 36, one over par, came home in 35, one under. He parred 11 holes and turned in four bir- dies, two bogeys and one double- bogey. a six on the 370-yard seventh ole.
