THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, AUGUST 8, 1940 PAGE THREE Pleasure Valley Ranchers Get Early Lead to Stay in Running chers Score Half-Dozen in First Inning to Win|} Game and Prolong Final | 3 Series -- Morley Mullens in Fine Form With their backs to the well- vn wall, Pleasure Valley Ranch the field at Lakeview Park st night with a do-or-die expres- on on their faces, and backed by orley Mullins' excellent pitching, sted enough runs off the as- ounded Reeson, Palm Billiard hurler, in the first inning to more than win the game. Keeping the xpression on their faces, and the namite in their bats, they added nother nine runs before the game s finished to wind up with g 15- 0-4 win, Thus, the series is not yet in the bag for the Billiardmen, who will another chance to clinch the tle on Friday night, which game vill also be played at Lakeview Ino Park. Before the first inning was over, was apparent that Manager Har- Dove had bought the wrong igar 'when he put Reeson on the mound instead of coming right back vith Melemeester. Walking three f the first four batters, Hobbs' arp single brought two runs in gt pnce, Gulliver following with an- pther single. Potts was safe on an or in right-field, to bring in all ers still on the bags. Mullins lied out to end the inning, but ee P.VR. hits had yielded six ns, which eventually proved more han enough to win the battle, Mullins in Form Morley Mullins, P.V.R.s over- yorked hurler, was long overdue or a win, and with that six-run ead, he was practically e rest of the evening. He held he famous Billiard batters hitless n two innings, yielded one hit each five, and had his most difficult ime in the seventh and eighth, al- owing three hits and two hits re- pectively. His comfortable lead was ar from threatened at any time, however, as he struck out six and paused the Cues to hit into four- en infield outs. Buck Hobbs, veteran second base- | man for the winners, played an bellent game, fielding in sensat ashion and getting three ive tripe to the plate, includ Houble in the eighth tha n two runs. Gulliver, 'with t ive, including a homer, with two for three, includ omer, and Gower with two for ee, including a double, were the heaviest hitters for the winners. Errors were plentiful on both ides, five being chalked up by a lenient scorekeeper, Bobby Dove, he Billiardmen's second baseman, pulled two bobbles, and went hit- ess in five trips, which is very un- sual for the blond infielder. Hur- , centrefielder for the losers, had hree hits in five appearances at e plate, making two go for dou- ple bases, and played a super- jpecial game in the field, choking pff P.V.R. rallies with sensational patches of long drives. Moon Mullins, at third for the losers, nicked his brother Morley, lor only 'two hits for five trips but these two were a homer and a dou- ble. With McComb and Hurrie, these were the only Billiardmen tho secured more than one hit during the entire game. Just why Manager Harry Dove flecided on Reeson instead of Mele. meester is not hard to figure out, much as Melemeester has al- eady hurled three straight games gainst the Ranchers, with two vins and a tie to his credit. Over he season, he was the only hurler bo defeat the Ranchers, and while t may have been against all the laws of baseball strategy to put him n again last night, we think Man- ger Dove forgot the boat. How- ever, one thing is certain, it will be felemeester on Friday night. Whe- her he will be as successful as for- ly, remains to be seen, but his pason's record against the Ranch- s should be enough recommenda. jon for any one.

Evid- ently, the officials are beginning to think the Oshawa boys are too good when they ride together, so they decided to split them up. Pringle was paired with Valley, an ex- professional rider, and finished up in fourth position, while Pugh had Claude Perron of Montreal for his mate, finishing in sixth position. La The race was a challenge contest between the teams of Cyr and Crowder and Schelstraete and Mc- Connell to determine which was the better pair. Cyr and Crowder won the race w the other team in the third slot. Lance P and his mate, Perron, were riding well up near the front, when. Pugh took a nasty tumble. He was out of race about half an hour, and that ti Perron was lapped a number aving to ride alone in all t 1d jams form on nts and l-star perform- turning in ance.
