THURSDAY, JUNE 5, 1947 THE DAILY TIMES-CAZETTE OSHAWA WINS Oshawa Lacrosse Squad Wins Second Game In As Many Nights ' Defeating Weston On Own Field LOSE-SCORING GAME IN WESTON & *° Close-Checking Game ' Produces Fewer Goals -- Sanders and Ormis- 'ton Missing From Osh- awa Line-up -- Cham- bers Again Stars in .~ Goal -- Oshawa Cinch- es Victory in Final Quarter a Minus the services of Kennie Sanders and Hughie Ormiion, Oshawa Senior "B" lacrosse team . travelled to Weston last night to _ play their second game in as many nights and came home with their second-straight victory, a 6-4 decision over the new West- on entry, Tired and a little weary from bruises of the previous night's game, the Oshawa team was con- tent to go along at the pace set by the non-conditioned new Wes- ton team with the result that the game Was of the methodical type, slower in tempo but with less costly mistakes, The result was a low-scoring game, with Osha- wa never behind and winning a 6-4 decision in comfortable fashion, Tight Second Stanza Luther Vipond opened the sco- ring in the first period fairly early and Art Neil came back to tie it up for Weston about a minute later but Jack O'Brien put Oshawa in front again be- fore the period ended. The second stanza saw West- on carry the play into thé Osha~ wa territory, where Cliff Cham- bers, in the nets, turned in an- other of his sparkling displays, In fact, he stopped the prover- bial "million shots" and there wasn't a single goal scored by either team in the period, * Tim Vipond weaved his white helmet into position early in the third period and popped one home to put Oshawa two goals up. In the final period, Oshawa scored early and then added an- other to make it 5-1 before Gil Budgeman got one for Weston. Vipond got another one to equa- lize and for the balance of the game, the Oshawa team checked , closely and although the home- sters_did rap "in a couple more goals, they never really threat- ened to tie it up, . Ragged In Spots : Played inp the new Weston la- i crosse' box, on a" loose, sandy "floor," play was ragged with the ball taking many weird bounces and skids and the players doing the latter also, Towards the end of the fray, {PIF "roughened up a little and 'Robson, who previously took a ; 2-stitch nick in his scalp, got shimself boarded by Ashby. Fists flew in a brief flurry and they "were both given major penalties. The Summary | OSHAWA; , Chambers; defence, L. Vipond W.

Bob Feller ° Is Slipping, Fans Claim By ALAN HARVEY 1 Canadian Press Staff Writer New York, June 5 (CP) --Is mod? ern baseball's greatest pitcher slip- ping? . +. At first sight the question seems silly, for it was only a month ago--May 2, to be exact-- that Rapid Robert Feller blanked Boston Red Sox with one hit to run his string of scoreless innings to 20 . . . But baseball memories are short and some Cleveland fans insist the Iowa farm boy hasn't pitched a good game since .., In a. recent losing appearance, Feller was booed by a section of the Cleveland crowd for the first time in his career . . . His pitching record at last-week-end stood at five victories and five defeats, an undis- tinguished mark for Feller, and he was unable to finish in his last five starts. Most . of those who have the knives out for Feller note that his slide has been co-incident with the publishing of his father's book, "Strikeout Story"... . They suggest that too many autographic parties in book stores may have affected his pitching . . . The idea seems to be that more Rapid Robert and less Feller, Inc. is needed . . ., As for Bob, he admits to a stiff shoulder, but adds: "I certainly wish I knew the answer but I don't" . .. Ob- servers say the shoulder has inter- fered with his control and that he is "aiming" the ball instead of firing it 'as only Feller can . , . Other itchers say Feller can't expect to BASEBALL TIME IS HERE are you missing 'f these thrilling § broadeasts because of poor radio recep- tion! Give us a call , , .

Origi- nally the club specified that only dogs which had won at least a Blue Ribbon at 'a licemsed American kennel club would be eligible, but the rule has been broadened to include which have won a "Blue" at Canadian kennel club . +. Buffalo Bisons of the In- ternational League, loaded with left-hand power but possessing few clouters who hit consistently to left field, have built an 18-foot screen on the left field wall of their home park, Offerman Stadium . . . The opponents were getting too man cheap home runs. y yA ~ Big League Ball Games Yesterday By JOE REICHLER Associated Press Sports Writer When the 1947 major league races are decided in the final week of September, searchers of whys and and wherefors, may very well point back to the first week in June as the turning point of the baseball campaign, For in the last few days at least four highly regarded teams--Detroit Tigers and Boston Red Sox in the Dodgers ; \ National--have been Eripplafbh n= juries which might prove 50 | to their pennant aspirations. P Injured ete Reiser Probably the most cruel blow of all was dealt to the Dodgers when Pete Reiser, their star centre fielder, suffered a "laceration of the skull" in a collision with a concrete wall at Ebbets Field last night. Three Detroit regulars were in- jured yesterday. They were George Kell, third baseman, Dick Wake- field, left fielder and pitcher Paul 0| (Dizzy) Trout. Tigers Lose Kell Most seriously hurt was Kell, who suffered cuts on the left knee and right hand from the spikes of George Stirnweiss. Kell probably will be out from three days to a week, Tuesday night the Cubs suffered | 3631 a mishap when third baseman Stan Hack twisted a leg and will be out indefinitely, More Players Hurt The Red Sox were hard hit when it was learned that DiMaggio had pulled a shoulder ligament and will. be out indefinitely. In addition, Chicago White Sox lost second baseman Cass Michaels for a time when he crashed with Thursman Tucker chasing a fly ball On 'the behind the four-hit pitching of a 4th prize, $5.00--DeHavijland No. 2, 4 Hank Borowy, handed the Giants their first shutout defeat of the season 6-0. It was Borowy's sixth straight victory following his 1-0 opening game defeat. Reese's Homer Wins The Dodgers, led by Pee Wee Reese, who hit a grand slam home run, moved within four points of the deadlocked Cubs and Giants by whipping Pittsburgh Pirates 9-4. Detroit retained its two-game lead in the American League by divid- ing a doubleheader with the Yan- kees, After the Tigers had copped the opener 6-2 behind Trout, the Yankees unloosed their siege guns to take the nightcap 17-8. ; Feller Wins Bobby Feller, won his first game since May 18 when he pitched the Indians to a 6-2 victory over Wash- ington in e night game in Cleve. land. It was his sixth win against five losses. Boston Braves prevented St. Louis Cardinals from leaving the National League cellar by defeating the Redbirds 3-1. 12th Homer for Williams Home runs by Ted Williams and Sam Mele gave the Red Sox a 5-2 victory over the Browns in St. Lows. It was Williams' 12th circuit ow. Ken Heintzelman pitched the Phillies to a 9-2 win over 'Cincin- nati, Philadelphia Athletics pounded across Leven runs in the top of the 11th whip the White Sox in Chicago 10-3. BOXER CHARGES FIGHTS "FIXED"' By J. C, GRAHAM Canadian Press Correspfndent Wellington, N.Z,, June § -- (€CP)--The New Zealand su- preme court has ordered revocate ion of the licence of an American boxer and is considering revok- ing the permit of New Zealand's top middleweight following char- ges that a fight between the two was "framed" and that a second bout was "arranged" but fought as a straight contest, The bouts in question were be- tween Bob Murphy, claimed to be the best boxer produced in New Zealand for many years, and Willie Jones, an American Ne- gro, The first fight was awarded to Jones when Murphy struck him after the gong at the end of the fifth round. The second contest also went to Jones on points. When the New Zealand Box- ing Council revoked the licences of both Murphy and Jones, the boxers brought an action in the Supreme Court and obtained an injunction preventing the council from putting the revocation Into effect. The council's motion, dur- ing which startling new evidence was presented, was for the remo- val of this injunction, An affidavit filed by G. P. Ald- ridge, secretary of the New Zea- |- land Boxing Association, said that W, M, Brosnan, a committee member of the local association which staged the fights, and Jones came to his house. Jones told him he wanted to free him- self from the position he had got into, He said beford the first match there was a meeting be- tween Jones, Murphy, the latter's manager, and . R, Marshall, an Australian manager, at which it was arranged that Murphy should strike him after the gong in the fifth round. The 'affidavit filéd by Brosnan included a statément that Jones told him he owed Marshall $1, 280, Jones told him that when he was clear of Marshall he would clear up matters and tell enough "to blow the lid right oft the crooked fight promoters in New Zealand and Australia." Jones told him that Marshall had made almost $16,000 over the playing ends, the Cubs, | 3626 first Murphy.Jones fight, Bettina Didn't Pose for This Melio Bettina, Beacon, N.Y,, is draped across the ropes after a powerful blow from Light Heavyveight Champ Gus Lesnevich, Cliffside Park, N.J., jn scheduled 10-round non-title bout 1 k Madison Square Gar- ds of first round at New York t in 59 den.

Perry, a 26-year-old righthan- der, blanked the Glants with three hits in three innings to gain credit for a 7-6 12-inning victary last night that moved the Bisons into fourth place. THe leaguegeading Montreal Royals split ouble-header with Syracuse Chiffs, winning the op- ener 2-0. e Chiefs rebounded to take the nightcap Y1.6. Joe Smolko and Johnny Van Cuyk divided mound duties for Mont~ real in the first tilt while Howie Fox went the route for the Chiefs, ; The Chiefs, held scoreless for 23 straight innings by the Roy- als, snapped the skein by scoring three times in the Opening in- ning of the finale. In the only other game, the last-place Tor- ontg Maple Leafs nosed out Newark Bears 6-5 when Ed Levy belted a two-run, ninth-inning homer.

KING ST, . at Ritson Read STORE B.F Goodrich 8 PHONE 247 OUR RADIO LAWS SPELL - MONOPOLY Right now, the Canadian radio listener is bandicap- ped by what amounts to monopolistic control. We feel sure that nobody wants Canada to have such crippling control. It has come about because Canada's radio laws are a tangle of rules and regulations and addenda. These laws date back to "crystal set" days. They have not kept pace with radio progress. In the interests of Canadian radio listeners now and in Canadians don't like monopolies. We have learned that we get more benefit when there is free and fair competition. the future, Canada's unsound "crystal set" laws should be overhauled and simplified. -Several governments have had a hand in piling up the confusion, Nobody's particularly responsible for it. The important thing is that in Canada today it is impossible to make a major move of any sort without the approval of the "Government-of-the-day". The Government's CBC have exclusive control of net- work facilities. They can direct any station to broadcast any message for amy government depart- ment. They can cancel a broadcasting license without cause and without bearing. They have ab- solute and final control over a// programs. They even decide what mews you shall hear. Yes, Canada's radio laws spell Monopoly. Ifit is true that better things are produced by free and fair competition, every radio set owner in Canada will benefit when a truly sndependent regulatory body is set up to see that fair competition exists in Canadian radio. Itis important to the fliture of Canadian radio --to your future--that Canada's monopolistic laws should be critically examined and overhauled. One of a series of public dis- cussions of the future of radio in Canada. Published by an affi- liation of 89 Independent Commercial Radio Stations throughout Canada.
