They lost their right to advance into another series of OBA play when they lost a 3-0 game to a young team from Ivy, on Sunday afternoon. The win, the second straight for the Leafs, gave them the well earn- ed series two games to one and advanced them into the next OBA round against Walsing- barn. Jim Pfaff pitched a great game for the losers and deserv- a victoryi however, his t e a m - mates had silent bats and no runs were scored to aid t h e young star in any way. His teammates also lost a ball in the sun, committed a costly erior which set up two unearned runs, and possibly should have had a putout on the hit that turned into the third Ivy run, as well as a eouple of other hits. Pfaff allowed eight hits, three of them could have been put- outs in any other game, struck out ten baters, allowed no one a base on balls and had seven assists on putouts. He was the top Zurich player in the game. Ivy deserved their victory. Their pitcher didn't look like he had much stuff, however, he must have because there were very few balls hit to the to the outfield, on a base hit, Rick Stade reached base on an error to the left field as George Haggitt's single over second were the only balls that left the infield in fair territory, Lennox also had four strikeout and issued only one walk. The Tvy infielders were as sharp as they ever will be. Their fine young shortsop, A. Ellis, committed one of their two errors but still had seven assists and one putout. Arnold at second base had four put- outs and seven assists and be- tween him and the shortstop prevented the Zurich hitters from reaching base very often. The ball game was scoreless until the fourth inning when Ivy scored twice. After one our Arnold singled, G. Ellis ground- edto third for the second Ivy out before Wilson reached base on Haggitt's error. Then Kell lined a double to left field which scored the two runs. G. Ellis, Ivy's fine catcher, doubled in the sixth inning and scored after Kell's third hit of the game and Money's single for the last run of the game. For the Leafs, their rigtht fielder, Kell, was the hitting star with a double and two sin- gles. Money, the centre field- er, singled twice, while the other hits were made by their shortstop, A. Ellis; Arnold, their second baseman, and the catcher, G. Ellis. Bob Johnston and George Haggitt had the clean Zurich hits while Stade and Wagner had scratch. singles. O'Brien and Haggitt managed to reach second base but that was as far as they, or any Zur- ich player, reached through the nine innings. $1500. In other business the council agreed to investigate the pos- sibility of paying clerk -treas- urer Mrs, Elda Wagner for sell- ing the debenture issue on the new fire hall.
