"Everything from Soup to Nuts by Geo. H. Campbell SPORTS EDITOR \ McCALLUM TRANSPORTERS moved into first place in the Leaside Baseball Association's Junior League race, here at Kinsmen Stadium on Saturday night when they defeated Metropolitan Motors 93. It was the most convincing win of the season for the Trans- porters over their rivals and it moved the Oshawa Juniors a| half-game ahead of Metros, with the locals having completed their! schedule.» Metros have one more to play, against Ideal Welding, tomorrow night. If Ideals should win -- then Oshawa Transporters hold first place alone and will have a bye to the league finals, | while Ideals and Metros battle it out. On the other hand, if Metros | win over the Welders tomorrow night, and that seems likely -- then Metros and Transporters will be all tied up. If this happens | -- they play a sudden-death game on Thursday night to decide first place. They tossed a coin for the venue of this extra game and| Metros won -- so if they have to settle it on Thursday night, Trans- porters have to go to Talbot Park to play Metros, for first place. The Transporters troited out a full line-up on Saturday night and they looked very impressive in their victory. Metros kicked in with four errors in the first inning to help Oshawa get four runs on a pair of two-baggers, by Dave Kelly and Bill Little. This pair hit the ball hard all night long, Kelly having a double, single and a triple while Litile had a double and a triple. Against Dan Bourke, the Transporters batted the ball very hard to establish a 9-0 lead. Dave Sullivan, who took over the pitcfiing in the 6th, was something else again, as he pped the Th porters right in their tracks. He only faced nine batters in the three frames, fanned the first ihree and five of the nime and mot a ball was hit out of the Infield. "Butch" McMahon pitched a great game for the Oshawa forces also. He allowed only five hits and not an Oshawa outfielder had even ome putout in this game. Bert White at 1st "base, handled 17 of the 27 putouts, Brent Oldfield at shortstop had eight assists and one putout, while McMahon struck out another six batters. Along with catcher Palmer Knight, Art Rennick and Bill Little handled the rest of the plays. The Transporters ap- pear to be at their peak right mow and with good pitching and | solid hitting, should be able to hold first place in this Leaside loop, even if it means winning a sudden-death game on Thurs- day night. Junior playoff dates can mot be set until later this week.

Big Mel "Hootch" Meule- meester struck out 11 batters and allowed only one safe hit, to fully earn the win for his Whitby club. Normie Bagnell, whose two- bagger was the only hit off Meulemeester, struck out 12 batters but was tagged for five hits. Two of these safeties, with a costly double-error on thrown balls, set up Whitby's one successful scoring play -- or the two teams might have played right until midnight. With the series now tied at one apice, it looks as if each manager will have to go with his "ace" for the rest of the, series, which may not be good news for the pitchers but will of course please the fans. Third game of this 3-out-of-5 series, is booked for the Alexandra Pafk diamond, tomorrow (Tuesday) evening at 6.30 o'clock sharp. So far, only four runs have been scored in two games, two runs by each team. You couldn't get a series much tighter. The fans are enjoying it and there'll be a monster crowd at Alexandra Park tomorrow evening, to witness the third and what might now prove the "key game' of the series. When the promoter himself is more than satisfied, then the fans should be tickled pink. Local wrestling promoter "Pat" Viilosh himself terms the card he has lined up for Tuesday night at Kinsmen Stadium as "a promoter's dream come true" -- and if you are a wrestling fan, you'll have to agree. He has three, yep, three main bouts on the one card for tomorrow: night and every wrestler who will be in Tuesday's wrestling show here is a top-name performer. The preliminary bout alone could be a headliner in amy show. That one Is Roberto Pico vs Tex McKenzie. We don't know which will be the semi- final bout -- that's how good they are, they're going to toss to see which bout goes on next. It will either be The Brunetti brothers vs Ski Hi Lee and Big Ike Eakins, in a tag-team bout or it will be Yukon Fric vs "'Hardboiled" Haggarty. After they have tossed the coin to decide, the "losers" will go into action, in a one-fall, 60-minute limit bout and the final match will be a 2-out-of-3 affair, with a one-hour limit. Yukon Eric, who is recognized as ome of the most formidable performers in the wrestling business, hasn't been around these parts for some time now hut he was very popular with local mat fans, when 'wrestling at Oshawa Arena, a few years ago, W Suspect he'll still be a favorite here too while that tag-team affair between the Brunetti brothers and those two roughies, Eakins and Ski-Hi, is hound to he a sizzler.
