Mr. Wilson was "cast- ing" when he got his big strike and was using one of the new spinning outfits. Size of the trout, one of the largest "speckles" caught in Canada this year, can be estimated in the small picture, which shows the trout stretched out on a 25-lb. GPORT SNAPSHOT Br Geo. H.

Two "Ontario championships" were won by Oshawa curlers this spring, in the Silver Tankard and Governor General's Cup triumphs and right now there are four local ball teams very much in the running fo top Provincial honors. Merchants need two more wins to cop the Senior "A" OBA championship; Oshawa Transporters are in the OBA Junior semi-finals; Oshawa Pedlars appear headed for the Ontario semi-finals in Senior "B" softball and Connaught Park B'Nai B'Rith Midgets are in the finals for Ontario Midget softball laurels. Yep! It looks very much as if 1951 could be a banner sports year for ity. dys * +* +» * Bob Carlson pitched the best game he's' thrown this season, last night at the Stadium in scoring a playoff shutout victory over Niagara Falls Fords. Carlson really had a world of speed and stuff galore last night. His fast one was really "hopping" and his curve was breaking just as if the ball was caroming off an invisible wall. He struck out 11 batters in five and one-third innings and after Oshawa made it 5-0, he appeared to ease up a little, just as he has all pacing hi If very nicely but concerned only in winning the game and not wasting his arm and power in search of a strikeout record. Carlson proved to our satisfaction last night that he is one of the best right-handers to ever show around these parts and at 19--(wouldn't he look good with Transporters--so would Berning, Rogers and Grandcolas for that matter, all Junior-age)-- Carlson appears to have a real future in pro ranks--which he will join next spring, according to information received. Oshawa's 4-run blast in the first frame salted the, victory right there. Two walks as Gord. Johnson got off to a shaky start, a Texas-league single by Chuck Walsh and then Dick Berning's mammoth triple over the left-fielder's head followed by Sherry Rowland's timely single, gave - Merchants a 4-0 lead with none out. After that it was a sizzling ball game with brilliant fielding plays and fine pitching by both Johnson and Carlson. £3 * L Last night's victory, in which Dick Berning headed the attack with a triple, a double and a single in four tries, gives Oshawa Merchants a 2-0 lead in the OBA final series. The OBA has ruled that this is the [son, the executive ruled that all] RUNDLE PARK: McKay, Corn- series can be [clubs in all series must play at|ish, Gibbard, Eggert, Peters, Gibbs, championship finals and that the only way another : played--that is, letting the TABA winners get a crack at the. title at this late stage after announcing two weeks ago they wouldn't com- | pete--is by mutual consent. That's out--since both Niagara Falls and Oshawa executives have firmly stated that this is the final series Merchants go to Oakes Park tonight for the third game of the series and the 4th game of this 4-out-of-7 final will be played here at Kins- men Civic Memorial Stadium tomorrow night. Should a fifth game be necessary, it will be played here at the Stadium on Saturday afternoon and a sixth 'game, if needed, would also be played here on Saturday night. The Merchants are gunning for a four-straight triumph and are going to Niagara Falls tonight determined to win again if possible and clean it up by tomorrow night. All the boys are now due back at Col- lege and wanted to get back to their books and l'arning. . * * * Oshawa Pedlars took the big step towards the OASA Senior "B" championship, when they defeated Danforth Hotel 5-1 last night at Dentonia Park. Return 'game is booked for Saturday even- ing, 6.30 p.m, at Kinsmen Stadium, but will likely be played later Saturday night, if Merchants win their series in four-straight.

(CP) -- Vancouver Combines kept their promise last night and as a result the Canadian lacrosse finals with Peterboro Petes are square at a game apiece. The western champions confront- ed the Petes with blazing speed and came from behind to win 11- WON FIRST GAME The eastern representatives had won the first game of the best - of-seven series for the Mann Cup 16-9 Monday chiefly on the strength of a: slow, deliberate heavy-check- ing game. i The Combines vowed after Mon- day night's game that they would throw speed and more speed at the Petes, who outweigh tham an aver- age of 15 pounds a man. In the first quarter last night, Vancouver appeared to be falling into the pattern of play of the series opener. They trailed 4-1 after the first 15 minutes. TEAM CHANGED SHOES But between periods they chang- ed their heavy duty work boots for running shoes, and by the time the game ended they had the Petes gasping for breath. A slim crowd of 1500 fans saw the game, compared with the 2500 at Monday's game. However, since admission prices were raised after the first game, the gate was larg- er. Third game of the series is scheduled for Vancouver Friday. Individual star of the game was Harry Whipper, big Peterboro de- fence man who can shift either way on the dead run. Whipper scored two goals and assisted on two more by Curly Mason. LOSES USUAL DIME However, in the third quarter he ran into the Vancouver defence and was smashed down hard as he tried to barge through to the goal. It took him a long time to get up and he didn't have his usual drive after that. When Whipper's ability was re- duced, the whole Peterboro team was similarly affected. The Petes led 6-5 at half time, but as the Combines picked up speed, they lost their scoring touch and got only one goal in the last half. In addition to the four goals by Whipper and Mason, single tallies were scored by Russ Slater, Arn Dugan and Bob Thorpe for the losers. Harry Buchannan, who got three goals for Vancouver in the first VANCOUVER COMBINES SQUARE MANN CUP SERIES WITH PE TERBORO game, duplicated the feat last night. Ervie Smith" three for the winners. Stewart got two and Bus Byford, Ed Hamson and Jim Anderson one each. Walt Lee, 38 - year - old goal- tender, replaced Jack Green in the Vancouver net and appeared to be more effective, although he also received better support than Green got in the first game.

Third game of the title series is Falls this evening with the 4th game of the round, here in Oshawa again on Friday night. Fifth and sixth games in this series, should either or bdth be necessary, will be played here in Oshawa also, on 'Saturday afternoon and Saturday evening. CARLSON IN TOP FORM Bob Carlson, right-handed curve- ball artist who also boasts a blaz- ing fast one in his pitching selec- tion, came up with his best per- formance of the season on the home diamond last night to give Mer- chants their second-straight win of the series. Carlson was brilliant throughout, particularly in the early stages when WINNER OF 'THIS SERIES GETS TITLE Hamilton (CP)-- Winner of the | rcurrent best.of-seven series be- | tween Oshawa Merchants and Nia- gara Falls Fords will be declared winners of the Ontario Senior A baseball champions if they so de-| sire, the executive of the Ontario Baseball Association said last night. .

Stephenson singled to open the game--and never got past 1st base. Eddie Johnston opened the second stanza with a clean double and reached 3rd when the throw-in was bobbled. That happened with none out and Carlson struck-out the next batters. Smart fielding plays by the Oshawa infield nipped off other threats by the Falls, in the 3rd when Stephenson and Mulligan singled in succession with one out, again in the 6th when Mulligan and : | Bernat singled in succession with only one out and in the 8th when Bill Smith opened the inning with a single, Carlson's fine nurling and the steady support of his mates, plus some brilliant fielding plays with Vic Napolitano at shortstop being particularly outstanding, proved a combination that the visiting Fords couldn't fathom. BERNING'S TRIPLE DID IT Merchants broke out with a 4-run lead in the first inning, before there were any out. Napolitano walked, so did Jimmie Rogers then Charlie Walsh singled into short right. With the bases loaded, Dick Berning pol- ed the 3-and-2 pitch for over left- fielder Bernat's head, for a triple. Sherry Rowland folowed with a single through the box to score Berning, making it 4-0. Gord. Johnson, on the mound for the visitors, settled down nicely after This bad beginning but he was still well beaten. Berning's double in the second, followed by Ted Barnes' single, with two out, made it 5-0 and Oshawa's 6th run was unearned. Jim Rogers was safe on Mulligan's bobble, with two out, then Charlie Walsh and Berning each followed with single to score Rogers.

J Bill Hosmer was the starter for Danforth Hotel, He stuck it until the second inning when Pedlars' artillery cracked through his de- fences for four runs.
