THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, AUGUST |5, 1940 PAGE THREE Palm Billiards Defeat Broncs In Ex. Softhall *Twas mighty close in Westmount Park last night, when Palm Bil- Jards, champions of thc Indepen- dent Softball League, took .. 4-3 victory from Joe OChilderhose's Westmount "Brones", pride of the area surrounding Park Road, in an exhibition game that was played just as seriously as though much depended on it. Although the "Brones" lost out in the final tally, it was not until the fourth frame that the Bililardmen got their heavy artillery into ac- tion. The score had been 10 for the Brones since the first inming and only once had the "Cues" been in a scoring position. Coach, Manager, and Team-Thinker Harry Dove is- sued a pep talk with unbelievable results. Mullen singled, Bryson dou- bled, Williams singled, as did Mele- meester and a subsequent error through the shortstop position re- sulted in four runs crossing the plate. Westmount came back strongly in the seventh when Bligdon, Bidgood and Hardy singled in succession to score two runs but that was the closest they could come to knotting the count. Melemeester Again Melemeester, who could be called "Ace" for short, whiffed no less than fourteen of the "Broncs" who haven't seen such unchained light- ning since the days of Elmer the Great. His special fireball struck out every player on the Westmount lineup at least once during the game. In addition, he conserved enough energy to secure two of his team's fourteen hits. Opposing the "Ace" were T. Mc- . Conkey and Dean McLaughlin, The latter hurler had more on the ball than his assistant, whiffing seven of the Billiardmen to two for Mc- .Conkey. Between them, they yleld- 'ed fourteen hits, keeping them suf- ficiently scattered that they only netted four runs during the nine- inning tussle. The only batter on the West- mount team to secure more than one hit was "Slim" Wetherup, who plays a consistent game at short. He had two singles. In the Billiard batting order their fourteen hits were pretty well scattered but Ted McComb, the lad who couldn't bat his weight during the regular season, got three hits in four trips to take the honours for both teams. Mullen, Bryson and Black had two each, with Sutton, williams and Thompson securing one each. Just where the travels of the Bil- liardmen will take them next is not definitely known. It' rumour- ed that Joe Childerhose would like a return match with Dove's pro- teges. Details of the match, if and when it tokes place, will be pub- lished later, PALM BILLIARDS--Melemeester, p; Thomson, c; Bryson, 1b; Dove, 2b; Mullen, 3b; Sutton, ss; Mc- Comb, If; Williams, cf; and Black, rf; (Reeson substituted for Ddve in the 9th).

Title Toronto, Aug. 15. -- Thrown off the beaten path of Old Man Par by a wandering tee shot at the 190- yard third hole, Bill Kerr of Tor- onto Hunt Club lost valuable ground that he was never able to make up in his 18-hole playoff with Stan Leonard of Calgary Golf and Coun- try Club for the Canadian P.G.A. championship Wednesday afternoon at Cedar Brae. Leonard turned in 8 sub par 69 against Kerr's 72 to win the big share of the P.G.A. money and a handsome silver trophy. : Never Headed Leonard picked up a two-stroke margin on Kerr at the short third hole by bagging a par three while Bill was fighting. for a fat five. Prom that stage on, the smooth- working Calgary shotmaker was never headed. , 'On the back nine Kerr found himself to outscore his opponent '33 to 34. At the 233-yard seventeenth Leonard broke his steady stride for the first time. = After missing the green he was strong with his chip to finish on the edge of the carpet at the back and needed three more strokes of his usually magic putter to get down. It was the only hole where this little-known Western sniper wasn't toying with pars or birdies in the playoff round. KISS YOUR TIRED FEELING GOODBYE!

DODGERS DIVIDE BILL WITH PHILS Brooklin, N.Y., Aug. 15.--Brooklin Dodgers had a chance to cut the first-plazz lead of Cincinnati Reds to a mere four games, yesterday, but they blew it, by dividing a doubleheader. with the Phils. The Brooks took the first 6-5 but lost the second 9-6 due to their own in- effectual pitching plus some heroic hitting by Johnny Rizzo, who blast- ed out a pair of homers. TORONTO LEAFS TO HAVE RED CROSS NIGHT Senator Salter Hayden, president of the Toronto Baseball Club, working in co-operation with the Canadian Red Cross Society, has designated Thursday night, August 22, as Red Cross Benefit Night in Maple Leaf Stadium. A large share of the proceeds of the game between the Leafs and the Newark Bears that night will be turned over to that worthy organization. The pass list has Ween suspended for the game and officials of the society and the baseball club are working together to make the benefit a suc- cess. As it is less than ag month ago since the Leafs played a benefit game for the Mayor of Toronto's War Fund, they are setting a war- time fashion in benefits which is sure to be followed hy other sports organizations. For this particular night the Stadium will have a strong military flavour. Military bands will furnish thé music and militia 'units will be among the spectators.
