SPORTS BEAT By Eric Wesslby OF The Times Staff TORONTO ARGONAUTS knock off the best in the west! The Amercian League race stays as tight as ever! Brook- lin Redmen extend the Can- adian senior lacrosse champ- lonship by beating Vancotver! Quite a night in sport. With so many things going on, it's king of hard to get excited about hockey, but there it is, looking just around the cor- ner. We'll have had a pretty good touch of it by this time next week, with games here Saturday, Sunday, Tuesday and Wednesday. IF ARGONAUTS can maintain last night's pace, they'll be around for the play- offs for the first time in a couple of years. Of course, they've given their support- ers false hopes before but this year they could make Lew Hayman and company happy by sticking around a little longer. Argos unusually appear to have quite a few commitments south of the bor- der shortly after the end of October. Maybe this year they'll delay them. BOSTON RED Sox, thin in pitching at the start of the season, are still in the thick of that American League pennant race, refusing to buckle under pressure. Years ago, when the Red Sox had good teams, they would be world beaters at home but when they got on the road late in the season they'd just fold. Manager Dick Williams has the club playing as well as anyone on the road. After dropping three in a row to Baltimore at home, the Sox calmly knocked off three in succession on the road, includ- ing two -over Detroit. OSHAWA GENERALS will get an opportunity to strut stuff before Oshawa fans Saturday night at Civic Auditorium when they enter- their tain Peterborough Petes. Coach Ike Hildebrand probab- ly won't make a definite di- cision on Saturday night start- ers until after practice tomor- row night. Most clubs go with more than 20 players in their opening games. Petes, by the way, play in Ottawa tomorrow night against Bill Long's newly formed club. WREN BLAIR brings his Minnesota North Stars to town for an extended stay next week. Stars play here Sunday, Tuesday and Satur- day, with Oshawa fans afforded the opportunity of watching four of the new Na- tional Hockey League clubs in the formative stage. Blair has had his crew going every night, a program somewhat similar to the one employed by Toronto Maple Leafs' Punch Imlach. Toronto play- ers usually grumble over such an exhibition grind, but few are grumbling when they pick up the Stanley Cup money at the end of the season. WHILE HOCKEY is _ just around the corner, and high school football swings on to the scene tomorrow, don't for- get the Ontario ball champ- ionship games here during the weekend. Eight Oshawa and district teams are involv- ed in either baseball or softball finals, and the lineup | of games could keep you | busy if you take in all of them. Some, of course, will | be played outside the city, but there's still enough ac- tion here to keep you busy. And whatever became of the lull between seasons?
