CampuELL a a ---- Oshawa Pedlars and the St. Catharines T-P Chiefs tangle here at the Kinsmen Civic Memorial Stadium tonight, at 7.45 o'clock, in the second game of their OASA Senior "B" (Southern Ontario finals) semi- final series. The winners are scheduled t5-be hosts-to the Sault Ste. Marie club in the All-Ontario Sr. "B" finals, over the holiday week-end but at the time of writing, it begins to look doubtful whether or not the "Soo" team will make trip down here, due to high expenses and low gate receipts. But Oshawa softball fans shouldn't miss this big game here at the Stadium tonight. Last night up in St. Kitts, Pedlars won 4-1 but it was a 13-inning battle of the ding-dong variety. Each team scored ® run--on an error--in the 2nd inning and then they battled until the 13th when Oshawa scored three runs on four hits. Normie Bagnell struck out 26 batters in the overtime struggle and didn't allow a hit until the 13th inning--with one out, at the time. Both teams pulled off some brilliant defensive fielding to hold potential runs on the bases--when just one lone tally would have won the game, for either team, in several crucial spots. St. Catharines' fans are raving about Oshawa tonight determined to even the series with a win. Pedlars last night's thrilling softball struggle and the Chiefs are coming to will send Normie Bagnell right back to the mound but although it will be his third stiff playoff game in three nights, he seems #0 thrive on hard wosk and we look for Pedlars to clean up the series tonight. * * * There were two OBA minor-age group playoff games played here at the Stadium last night and one proved a thriller-diller and the other a flopperoo. It was a typical "double feature" event and in the game, the classy St. Margaret's team from the North Toro) to League, whipped Oshawa Rexalls in the first game of 'heir A Midget playoff round, by 13-1. Actually it was about 18-1 when they called the game off before seven innings had been played. St. Margaret's, aside from being one of the biggest bunch of - "midgets we've seen, also proved to be a very snappy baseball club. . They should win the OBA title without any trouble. Rexalls go back to Eglinton Park on Saturday afternoon for the second game of the series. The Juvenile OBA pliyoff game was something else again. Kellar, on the mound for Oshawa, pitched a brilliant 3-hitter and * but a mistake of throwing the ball behind the runner (he was be- tween 3rd and the plate) and a couple of errors at 3rd base, the Oshawa pitcher might easily have had a shutout. As it was, the Victors team pulled off two fine "squeeze plays" in the 8th to tie the game and take the lead and scored an insurance run on a long otitfield fly. The win ties up the Juvenile playoff series at one win apiece. To top the might, Coach Ted Jackson won the toss for the third game, so Stanton Fuels will be here in Oshawa on Friday night for the deciding game of this crucial OBA playoff series. Stanton Fuels played in the Junior league, with Transporters, Bruins, etc, all summer long but that didn't phase the Oshawa Victors team one bit last might. The Oshawa Juveniles hit the ball hard and often, their fielding was very good and Kellar"s pitching provided just the margin needed to stop the Stanton Fuels team--already picked in Toronto as the future OBA champions for 1951. Now Stantons have to come to Oshawa for the important 3rd game on Friday night and if Oshawa Victor's play as well as they did last might (and they can play better, too) then the local Legion Juvenile squad may oust the favorites and advance to the OBA Juvenile finals. +* * * ; uli Oshawa Transporters are playing a 3-out-of-5 seriés With the Lon- don Juniors, for the Ontario championship:* The series will open in London on Saturday afternoon, with a second game there on Saturday afternoon, with a second game there on Saturday night. Quite a few Oshawa fans plan on making the trip to Labatt's Park to see the Transporters battle for the Ontario championship. The 3rd game of the series will be played here in Oshawa on Monday afternoon and if the series is still going, then the 4th game will be played here on Monday hight under the lights. Should a 5th game be necessary, they will likely play it on a neutral diamond, possibly in Hamilton. Transporters will hold a workout tomorrow night at the Stadium and the entire club is getting into high gear, ready to make a all-out bid for the OBA title. * * Oshawa Generals had another of their nightly workouts last night and while he is not yet fully satisfied with his squad by any means, Coach Larry Aurie says he's beginning to see signs of real scoring power. Defensemen Darryl Penn, Len Segurdson, both from Western Canada, along with Jaik Durston, the lefthander hurler of the Transporfers, are all going well on defense, along with Harry Sinden and this department appears to be capably filled, with John- son, Hillman and McBeth all available as additional rearguard ma- terial. Bobby Shropshire is showing up very well in goal, has far more confidence than when he formerly worn Generals' livery. Up front, a homebrew line, up from the Junior "Bees", is showing a lot of puck-passing skill and making a real bid to make good. This trio is Fred Etcher, at centre, flanked by Tommy O'Connor and "Red Haxton. Herve DeJordy and Gordie Myles, along with a Port Credit boy by the name of Luyben, form another top-notch front line. Herve is going better than ever and might easily turn out to be not only Oshawa's top scorer for the year but one of the league leaders. Myles is firing the puck with deadly accuracy and he's going to get a lot of goals. There is plenty of material from which to pick a third line and of course the return of Bobby Attersley, out at present with a painful vertebra injury, will add both scoring power and experience to the Oshawa attacking division. There's no word yet of an exhibition game but the new uniforms are expected by the end of the week and an ex. tilt with Montreal Canadiens remains a pos- - sibility for the middle of next week. +* +* * CLIPPED BITS -- We read in the St. Kitts paper that Bob Taylor, who had a trial with Syracuse at Lindsay last week, is going back to the Tee Pees.

Batawa was a member of the Cen- tral Ontario Baseball League which did not affiliate' with the OBA this season. Although the OBA regula- tions state that all playing certifi- cates must be registered with the secretary of the OBA by July 15, Batawa did not request entry into the OBA until after Sept 9. Bowmanville finished up its league playoffs Sept. 8 and was notified that Batawa would be the next club by the district OBA executive member, Ab Walker, of Oshawa, However, when Bowmanville con- tacted the OBA registrar, Bowman- ville was told that Batawa had not applied for entry at that date and alker further instructed th: Bow- anville clubto- play the" oronto and district winner.

After receiving the OBA decision last night, Osborne contacted the executive of the club and the executive decided unani- mously to withdraw, President Roy Dodge of the Lake- shore Intermediate Baseball League, in which Bowmanville is entered, was advised of the decision and backed the club in its action. \ BOXING CLASS New York -- Flyweight was the last weight class added to Ameri- can boxing. NINE NO-HITTERS The major leagues have had nine no-hit games since 1947. Termed by St. Catharines' soft- ball fans as one of the greatest games ever played in the Garden| City, Oshawa Pedlars defeated St. Catharines T-P Chiefs, 4-1, last night at T-P Park in St. Kitts, by 2 4-1 score in a sensational thriller that lasted 13 innings. , It was the first game of the OASA Southern Ontario final ser- ies, for the right to entertain Sault Ste. Marie in the All-Ontario Sen- for "B" championship finals, over the holiday weekend. St. Catha- rines Chiefs play the second game of the series here in Oshawa, to- night. 26 STRIKEOUTS FOR BAGNELL Normie Bagnell was in terrific and history-making form as he averaged two strikeouts per inning for a sensational total of 26 strike- outs in the 13-inning contest. And he didn't allow even one hit until after the first batter had been re- tired in the last of the 13th inning --then Heembuck connected for a single. Sensational fielding by both teams was responsible for the game last- ing as long as it did. But for some super defensive plays, either team would have scored more than once in the regulation nine innings. EACH GET ONE ON ERROR Each team scored a run in the second inning and in each case it was the result of an error by the rival shortstop. With two men out, Bagnell was safe on an error at shortstop and then Jack Logeman clouted a home-run drive that cleared the fielder's head--but the ball bounced off a light pole in deep outfield and rebounded back towards the fielder, which meant Logeman only got as far as second base. In their half of the sécond in- ning, Motchka was safe for Teepees on an error by the Oshawa short- stop and a sacrifice and infield out permitted this run to score, mak- ing igA-1. rilliant shoe-string catch and diving recovery of a grounder all helped keep Pedlars from scoring again until the 13th inning as Bell, one the mound for the homesters, also pitched a bril- liant game, chalking up 16 strike- outs, The T-P Chiefs missed their big chance in the 10th inning when Egoroff opened the inning by reaching 3rd base on an error in centre-field but with none out, Bagnell struck out three batters and in between, Sammy Stark took a grounder by Clutterbuck and al- lowed the Hatter to reach 1st, while he held Egoroff glued to 3rd base.

To railbirds here, the defending NHL champions looked stronger |B than ever With a gang of eager young recruits ready to take over from the six players sold to Chi- cago Black Hawks during the sum- mer for $75,000.

Victors Knot OBA Juvenile Playoff With Stantons Proving that out-hitting Stanton Fuels in the first game of their se- ries was no fluke, Oshawa Victors Juveniles tied up their best-of-three QBA play-off with the NTBA champs from Toronto last night at Civic Stadium with a 5-3 win, Stantons won the first tilt 7-1 last Saturday. It has not as yet been decided where the third and deciding game of the set will be played. KELLAR WINS Bill Kellar, smooth-dealing right hander with the locals, scattered a brilliant three-hitter at the Toron- to champs for the win. He fanned five batters and walked two in a truly great pcrformance. Red Patton was the Stanton choice. He lasted till the eighth when Dave Rennicks was called in to put out another raging rally by Victors. Patton gave up 10 hits for five runswhile striking out nine and' walking none. Rennicks faced but two batters in the last of the eighth and got both as outs to end the rally. Everything was moving "along quietly until the last of the second when Bill Kellar led-off with a sin- gle to centre. That fielder muffed the pick, and Bill moved into sec- ond unmolested. Fred Etcher fol- lowed with a booming three-bagger into deep right field. That scored the first run of the game. Frank Varga's smack at first base was bobbled, but the right-fielder played the ball to the plate to nip Etcher trying to score from third. Varga stole second a moment later and made the count 2-0 when Bob Hill doubled cleanly to centre. A strikeout ended the rally. ONE TALLY BACK Wilson got one of the runs back for Stantons in the first of the fourth when he singled to left. A theft of secomd on which the sec- ond-sacker miscued set the runner in scoring position. He moved to third on an infield out and then stole home on a smart play to make it 2-1, Victors loaded the bases with two out in the third, but another strikeout squelched the rally. In the top of the seventh, Stan- tons potted two runs and moved into a short-lived 3-2 lead. George Nicholson made first on an error. Woods walked and Jack Lowden hit into a fielder's choice play that went wild at third to load the bases with none out. Cameron flied to centre to score and sent over the other to break one run. Fitzhenry flied to right the tie. The visitors again tried to steal home, but this time Kellar caught the move and tabbed the runner at the plate with a good Yow to Bill Howie, straddling the sh. Patton got the side in order in the bottom of the seventh adding two strikeouts to his list. Kellar did the very same in the top of the eighth to halt any further scoring thoughts by the Toronto crew. COME FROM BEHIND His mates put together the win- ning rally in the bottom of the eighth. Stroz fanned to lead-off, but Kellar singled to right. Etcher followed suit to put men on first and second. A passed ball sent Kel- lar to third. Etcher immediately stole second. Varga scored the ty- ing run with a perfectly laid bunt. Copeland followed orders and did the same. The move paid-off and the runner again made the plate to push Oshawa in front 4-3. Hill flied to deep right to score 5-3 tally, with Rennicks now serv- ing up the balls and strikes. Jack Kellar grounded .to the first base- man to end the inning. Gillingham popped to the short- stop, but Nicholson singled to left Indian Fan Pays For His Bad Guess Cleveland (AP)--Harold Spieth's faith in the Cleveland Indians cost him a four - mile hike -- on the hind end of a wheelbarrow. Passenger "in the wheelbarrow was Louis Craddock, 39, a painter, who bet Spieth the Indians wouldn't win the pennant. The 23-year-old Spieth had to push Craddock from Bennett's Corners to the center of nearby north Royalton. The trip, with the last eight - tenths of a mile up a steep hill, took two hours.

For one, New York Yankees will represent the American League in quest of their third straight world championship. Allie Reynolds, winner of 17 games, including two no - hitters, and loser of eight during the reg- ular season will pitch the opener for the Yankees. That also is known. Manager Casey Stengel an- nounced it several days ago. The games will start at 1 p.m. EST. The first two will be played at Yankee Stadium, the third, fourth and fifth, if necessary, in the National League winners' park and the next two, also if neces- sary, on the Yankees' grounds. It is a best - of - seven proposition. The other facts are in the laps of the gods and the pitching arms of Sal Maglie of the Giants and big Don Newcombe of the Dodgers. In their mound performances to- day lies the answer to the ques- tion of whether it'll be Leo Duro- cher's miracle men of New York or Charlie Dressen's power-pack- ed Dodgers of Brooklyn that'll bid for baseball's highest honors against the favored Yankees. The two National League teams went into the final game of their playoff series at the Polo Grounds today all square at one game each. Regardless of the outcome the Yankees will be favored to win the series. Oddmakers today made them a 5-t0-8 choice to cop the series and 6-to-7 to take the open- ing game. Stengel's powerful but none too deep mound crew, headed by Rey- nolds, Vic Raschi (21-10) and Ed Lopat (21-8), is well rested. The pitching plans of Durocher and Dressen were turned topsy turvy id the hectic finish and the play- offs. Unless something goes awry to- day, either Durocher or Dressen can lead with one of his aces in the series opener. Preacher Roe, winner of 22 and loser of only three but knocked out for the box in his last two appear- ances, is certain to get the nod for the Brooks. Larry Jansen, with a record of 22 and 11, is the No. 1 mound selection for the Giants Nelmer has pitched since last Sun- But from there on, the Yanks can throw fresh hurlers into the fray while either of the National League managers counter with tired men.

CIRCUIT Guelph (CP) -- New York Rang- ers maintained their perfect record in pre - season exhibition games by defeating Chicago Black Hawks 3-1 here last night before 3000 fans. Rangers have won four straight exhibition games. Two newcomers to the Rangers scored two of their goals. Wally Hergesheimer the American Hockey League's rookie of the year last season, flipped a neat tally in the second period to break a 1-1 tie. Then in the final period de- fenceman Steve Kraftcheck blazed a slap - shot over Harry Lumley's shoulder for the clincher. Reg Sinclair opened the scoring for Rangers in the first period al- though defenceman Hy Buller ag- tually set up the goal. His shot glanced in off Sinclair. Bep Guido- lin tied the score for Chicago five minutes later. A new idea of Ranger Coach Frank Boucher, two larger faceoff circles, one on each side of the net, was tried out as an experi- ment. The bigger circles seemed to eliminate the congestion that was noticed with the one big circle in front of goal. Patton; p; Vancouver Canucks Get Eastern Players Vancouver (CP) Vancouver Canucks of the Pacific Coast Hoe- key League yesterday bolstered their ranks with two eastern play- ers. Owner Coley Hall announced he has signed goalie Phil McAtee, who last year played with Springfield, Buffalo and Seattle. Hall has also completed negotia- tions for defenceman George Hun- chuk, from Toronto Maple Leafs' Pittsburgh farm club. from the Hawks, who trained "I'm immensely pleased with the spirit and skill the young fellows 8 dre plan to work into the team have own thus far," - Manager Jack Adams said when the team moved to Detroit where it opens the sched- uled season Oct. 11 against Boston "They've proven to me they de- serve a chance to make good in the big time and they'll be given. every opportunity to do so. We are counting heavily on them." The Wings won the exhibition . series with Indianapolis 5-0, 7-0, 10-1 and 4-2. Goalie Terry Saw- chuck turned in 155 minutes of scoreless hockey before the Caps got a puck past him. ' Despite the sale to Chicago and single-player deals with Montreal Canadiens and New York Rangers, the Wings have the same nucleus for a club as last season when they + won the league crown with a six- point edge on Toronto Maple Leafs. ' Sawchuk is back in goal. Leo Reise-and Red Kelly are on de- fence. Up front there's the big line --=S8id Abel, Ted Lindsay and Gordie Howe. Other regulars from last season are Metro Prystai, Marty Pavelich and Bob Goldham, Defenceman Marcel Pronovost and forward Glen Skov, who proved their worth in the last campaign, are back for their sophomore years. Then there's veteran Tony Leswick, a scrappy forward the Wings got from the Rangers for Gaye Stewart. WILSON BROS ARE IN Two of the brightest new pros- pects are the Wilson brothers-- John, a wingman; and Larry, a centre--who scored six' goals be- tween them in the first three pre- season exhibition encounters. The brothers, who were born in Kin- cardine, Ont., played last year with the Capitals. They are expested to work on a line. with Leswick. Freddy Glover, a forward whose 48 goals were tops in the AHL last season, appears to have gained a spot on a line with Prystai and Pavelich. Benny Woit of Fort Wil- liam, another Indianapolis gradu- ate, also seems likely to catch a place on the team. The players who went to Chicago were defencemen Clare Martin and Clare Raglan and forwards Jim Peters, George Gee, Jim McFad- den, and Max McNab. Doc Couture was peddled to the Canadiens for Bert Hirschfeld who is~ likely to wind up with the Capitals. The Wings have youth on their side in their try for a third con- secutive NHL crown. The average age is just under 24. FIGHTS LAST NIGHT Washington, D.C.--Gene Smith, 123, Washington, outpointed Gaela- no Annalos, 118, Italy, 10.
