MN ER LE TN ay, RRR SRE THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE WEDNESDAY, JUNE 11, 1947 PAGE TWELVE T LIAN Oshawa's lacrosse club chalked 'up another win last night. True. it was an exhibition tilt but in defeating the classy Orillia Terriers, the Oshawa boys not only bested a snappy bunch of clever stick- handlers with plenty of experience, but they also showed, on their own behalf, that they are much improved. They are polishing up their attack nicely and once the defensive technique is improved, the Oshawa team will be a tough team to beat for O.L.A. lacrosse honors. Their next game will be on Monday night, when Brampton Excelsiors visit here for an exhibition match, * * * They opened the Oshawa Minor Baseball Association's Juvenile league last night, on two fronts. RexXalls bowed to Sunnyside Combines down at Sunnyside Park with Mrozeck and McTavish staging a nifty pitcher's battle. Each allowed only one hit and McTavish fanned 11 batters in 6 innings but he lost his game on walks, wild pitches and some costly errors. In the other "opening game," played up at Alexandra Park, Beaton's Dairy had to go an extra inning to nose out Victors 5-4 in the 8th frame. That's what we call mighty good baseball and indicates every Tuesday and Thursday nights, at both Sunnyside od a on. This is a sound idea and will be a big help in building crowds--since the fans will know they can always see a game any Tuesday or Thursday, at either park and the players will also get lots of ball. We heard this morning that Whitby, who were invited early in the season but dilly-dallyed around too long, would now like to enter a Juvenile team in the local O.M.B.A. loop. We doubt if the local league managers will want to change their set-up, now that it is headed for a good start end creates no transportation problem. Up at Alexandra Park last night, Mayor Frank McCallum officiated in the opening ceremonies and down at Sunnyside Park, Fred Maundrell, Parks Board Chairman, was the official opener. * LJ P Tent 28, only Canadian "Tent" in Variety Clubs International, a service club organization which draws its membership from the men in the entertainment world, theatre, stage, sport promotion, etc., has pledged to raise $100,000 for the Vocational School for Crippled Children, opened by the Ontario Society for Crippled Children in conjynction with the Toronto Tent of Variety. First step in raising this is the sp ship of a regular International League ball ' game at Maple Leaf Stadium, on Monday night, when Toronto Leafs are at home to Baltimore Orioles. The Toronto Club is footing all bills for putting on the game, the players are waiving their "cuts" and the Baltimore team is waiving expenses. "Pop" Osier, of Oshawa, member of Variety Tent 28, is in charge of the sale of tickets for this ball game and any local baseball fans intending to take in the Inter. League game in Toronto next Monday night, should purchase their tickets from any of the three local theatre box offices, or from this writer. It's a good chance to see Toronto Leafs in action and boost a needy cause, all at the same time, for no extra cost. There'll be special pre-game entertainment provided as well as about 75 handsome prizes, including radios, washing machines, etc. It would be nice to send about a hundred fans from Oshawa. + LJ ho If you are a wrestling fan, you'll be at the Oshawa Arena tomorrow night. If you saw last week's show--wild horses will not keep you away tomorrow night. They're bringing back "Red" Garner and Harvey "Underwear" Stanfleld for the main bout and it's to be a 2-out-of-3 falls affair, to a finish, with no time-limit. These boys were so mad last week (something must have crossed the wires) that they were slugging it out on the floor, outside the ring, after the bout was officially over-- and they weren't fooling either. In the semi-final tomorrow night, Ernie Hughson will replace the injured Pete Pernokis against Ted McKinley while in the preliminary, Pat Milosh of Oshawa will tangle with "Spider" Shackleton, 2 l * * L J Oshawa GM-Colts travel to Toronto tonight--if th away, to take on Tip Tops in a league tilt, second half a twin-bill, the usual Wednesday night fare at Kew day might, Bowles Lunch, with Joe "Lou Marsh Trophy Winner" Krol, Murray Dowey and the rest of their boys, all on hand, will be in Oshawa to tangle with the Colts in a league fixture, Friday night's twilight game should prove very poular with the local softball fans. Bowles Lunch fell victims to Dean McLaughlin's slants in their last clash with the Oshawa Colts and they'll be out for revenge up at Alex- andra Park on Friday evening. However, the Colts feel they can do it again and will be trying to repeat the dose. i. * * * SCISSORED SPORT--(By The Canadian Press)--A sour note was struck in some sections of Canadian Sport over the decision of the International Amateur Athletic Federation to postpone a decision on the controversial "broken time" issue, although Canada voted for delay at the London meeting. "Broken time" is an old argument in amateur athletic circles and would allow payment to amateurs while absent from their regular posts. Bob Somers of the A.A.U. of C. said when questioned about "broken time" while he felt athletics may have been purely a gentlemen's game many years ago "the world has changed enough so certain rules and regulations could stand face-lifting." . . . .

GENERAL ....... 75¢ 0 LADIES KREE TOMORROW Il Wrestling fans who saw last week's mat show at the Oshawa Arena and were in on the added action when "Red" Garner and Harvey Stanfield continued their fist-swinging battle outside the ring, 'after Garner had won the match, will all be on hand tomor- row night at the Arena, when these two gladiators of the wrestling mat go into action again. They're booked for the main bout again tomorrow night and this time, it's a "fight to the finish," which is just a rugged method of saying it's to be a 2-out-of-3-falls match--but on the other hand, it could mean that more of that tem- per displayed last week will be in evidence, in which case, the fans are in for a real night's action. Both Stanfield and Garner lost their tempers last week and the result was wild and hectic scenes. Ladies Free Too In an effort to promote the ap- peal of wrestling: among "the fair sex" -- who incidentally make the hottest wrestling fans of all, once they get "the bug"--the promoters of tomorrow night's wrestling show at the Oshawa Arena are making it a "Ladies' Night""--which means, ladies, all of "em, can get in to see the show, absolutely free. No doubt there'll be a big increase of the screaming fannies on hand to see Garner and Stanfield battle it out. Pete Pernokis was to have fought Ted McKinley in the semi-final bout but last I'riday night up in Barrie, Pernokis got himself a wrenched shoulder when he missed a flying tackle and landed outside the ring. (These lightweights don't pull their punches and for our money, it's a hard way to earn a living). Ernie Hughson, who battled Pernokis here last week, will take on Ted McKin- ley in the semi-final bout tomor- row night and since these two boys are evening matched in weight and size, they should provide a real pleasing bout. Milosh Meets Shackleton Oshawa's "Pat" Milosh is getting MAIN BOUT GRAPPLERS RETURN THURS. NIGHT FOR "FIGHT TO A FINISH" to be a regular fixture in the pre- liminary bouts and on tomorrow night's card, he opens the show in the first bout of the evening, against "Spider" Shackleton, who is no explorer but an experienced gent in a mat ring. Taken all round, like an orange, this show tomorrow night should be just as peppy and lively as last week's hectic card--and that was one of the wildest wrestling nights seen in the Oshawa Arena for sev- eral seasons. ; OSHAWA DE FEATS OR LLIA T RRIERS Local Lacrossers Display Improved Form to Whip Classy Orillia Team 19-14 = Bob Burrell Proves Best Man on Floor with Brilliant Scoring Per- formance for Visitors -- Terry Gordon and Verity Also Outstand- ing -- Sanders, Suther- land, O'Brien and G. Cook to Fore for Homesters But All Play Well Orillia Terriers, league leaders in their own O.L.A. Senior "B" group race, visited Oshawa last night for an exhibition game and were forced to go home on the short end of a 19-14 score in a wide-open, free- scoring tussle that tickled the crowd and proved an exciting ang pleasing game from start to finish. Showing a marked improvement over their previous display here, the Oshawa team passed the ball with more accuracy and confidence and the individual rushes of the ball carriers when left with only one man to beat, paid off with som very spectacular goals. : Orillia Team Classy The Terriers trotted out a team of classy stick handlers, a little on the small side but very fast and tricky. Bob Burrell, tow-headed speedball on the front line, was a treat to watch. He scored four of his team's goals, all on pretty ef- forts, with his smart backhand flip being the prettiest of the night. Varity and Terry "Red" Gordon were two other stapsiouts on the Orillia attack but defemsively, they were not as strong as the home- sters. Kennie Sanders, only casualty of the game, played a whale of a game for the home forces with a total of three goals and as many assists, while Jack O'Brien was also to the fore with four goals. Gord. Cook, and Sutherland were two other top scorers for Oshawa, but the entire team turned in a brilliant effort. Even Cliff Chambers notched him- self a goal, on one of his few but effective sorties up the floor. Sanders received a 1-stitch cut at the side of his eye, when heavily bodychecked by Balkwill in the first period. He came back to play bet- ter than ever. Balkwill was also shaken up in a close-checking ses- sion in front of the Oshawa net but was able to continue, Oshawa Came From Behind The home forcés scored first, were trailing 4-1 at the 8-minute mark and then came back to make it 5-4 before the period ended and then were never headed, adding to their lead in every period except the third, when each team scored only twice. Play was fast and of the end-to- end variety. In the second stanza, nine goals were scored in 'as many minutes, some of them only seconds apart, while in the final frame, three goals were scored in 31 sec- onds.

Sal- mers, LEGION WALLOPS SKINNER'S TEAM In an Inter. "AA" game last night, Legion defeated Skinners 16-7 and thereby consolidated their position on top of the league race. Parfitt hurled good ball for the Legion, especially in the latter half of the game. Skinners got two runs in the second on an outfield error, singles in succession by Knicky, Smith and Stone. Smegal singled to open the 3rd and scored later on a sacrifice and an outfield error by Waddell. In the 4th, the Skinners collected 4 hits for 3 runs, with Stone opening with a double. Smegal's homer, single by SmyRaluk and a double by Cairnes were the other big blows in the rally, After that, Skinners got one in the 5th on a hit and an error and then didn't score again, Legion scored in every inning ex- cept the second. McIntyre tripled to open the game and an error plus a hit by Waddell gave them their first run. Two more scored in the 3rd oh a walk and an error plus a hit by Dionne and another walk, to Waddell, From that point on, Smykaluk couldn't stop them and Legion added to their total in every inning with two in the 4th, two in the 5th, one in the 6th, another in the 7th, a 5-run splurge in the 8th and the last two runs in the 9th. Higgins' Romer featured the big rally in the Smegal, Cairnes, Smith and Stone were the big hitters for Skinners while actually, Legion divided their 1 2 hits quite evenly but' scored most of the runs on walks and bad er- 03 | rors by the Skinner team.

REED'S FLORISTS NOSE OUT KIWANIS In a Juvenile League softball fix- ture played at Jarvis Street Park on Monday evening, Kiwanis bowed to Reed's Florists 10-9 in a keenly- played contest that saw Reed's tie up the league race with a thrilling victory. Masowich, on the mound for Ki- wanis, couldn't find the plate most of the time and he walked three batters in the second besides allow- ing a double and two singles to give Reed's 3 runs and tie the score at 3-3. Kiwanis scored two in their first inning and then added one in every inning after that until the 7th. Baldwin's homer in the second ther be blow. ' ed's kept plugging along and pushed across one in the 4th on a hit by Comeford and hits by Pierce and Scammell. In the 6th, they scored three more runs to jump in front, with Brown's homer being the big blow. Going into the 8th, they were all tied and Lack walked and Mrozeck doubled, then Brown walked and so did Pinder and Brown scored on an outfield catch to make it 10-7, In their half of the 8th, Kiwanis pushed across two runs on walks to Thursby and Swindells and a hit by Day but Reed's got McLaughlin for the 3rd out and,the game was called on account of darkness. Pierce, Scammell, Mrozeck and Comeford all hit well for the Flor- ists while Baldwin with a homer and triple and single, was best for Bigani with Hurst also hitting well.

BEATON'S DAIRY EDGE VICTOR'S OPENING GAME In the opening game of the Oshawa Minor Baseball Association, played last night at Alexandra 3 | Park, Beaton's Dairy defeated Vic- 2|tors 5-4 in a thrilling tussle that went an extra 8th inning before a winner was decided. Victors punched out hits by Cook, a walk to Greenaway, a flelder's choice and an error ball, then a hit by Sagar, to score their first two runs in the second stanza. They nicked the odd hit almost every inning off Jedd Wilson but couldn't score again until .the 7th when they got two runs to move in front, briefly. Greenaway was safe on an error and then after both Mc- Dougall and MacArthur had fan- 1 $ ned, Sagar doubled, stole 3rd and scored on an error to Jack Wilson Beaton's Dairy found it just as tough to get runs off the pitching of Sagar. They got the odd- hit also each inning but in the 4th they bunched three hits by Johnson, Gil- lette and Turnbull for their first run. Three more hits, by McLel- land, Harper and MacGregor, plus an error to McTaggart, gave them a couple of runs in the 5th, to take a 3-2 lead. : After Victor's had moved in front in the 7th with their two runs, Beaton's came roaring back to tie the score with two out when Mor- rison got to 3rd on a bad error by Cook. A hit by Jackie Wilson scor- ed Morrison with the tying run. Victors had two on bases in the 8th with two out but couldn't score. Beaton's opened with a ,walk to Turnbull and then McClelland bunted safely. Harper singled to load the bases. Jedd Wilson fan ned but Sagar lost his own game when he erred on McGregor's roller and Turnbull romped across the plate with the winning run.

Oshawa Dominions Nose Out Pickering In C.O.F. Softball In a COF. softball league game at Alexandra Park last night, Osh- awa Dominions nosed out Pick- ering 15-14 in a hitting contest that developed almost into a survival of the fittest. ; Neither pitcher had much to talk about, as rival batters slugged their Sunflay pitches hard and often. | to The Oshawa boys had to come from behind to win and they spent so much time in long scoring rallies that they were only able to play a five-inning game. Pickering got one run in the first, two in the second and then staged a 10-run splurge in the third. They got one in the fourth and started > coast--which was their big mis- take. They didn't get any runs in the fitih and that was another mis- take, for they needed at least two, as it turned out. The Oshawa C.O.F. boys scored a loner in the second frame, their only run in the first three innings and then with the score 13-1 against them, they proceeded to hit hard and often. They scored nine runs in the fourth to make it 14-10 and then scored a five-run rally in the fifth before the third out, to take a 15-14 lead and it was too dark to continue, Arn. Greene paced the winners, with Reeson and Young also to the fore while McRae was best for Pickering, with the Bryants all do- ing their share, PICKERING: Cookson, 1f; Mc- Rae, 1b; Hansor® 2b; Collins, p; Grills, If; J.

SUNNYSIDES TAKE REXALLS IN OPENER 4-1 In the other opening game of the Oshawa Minor Baseball. Associa- tion's Juvenile League, played last night at Sunnyside Park, the "Sunnyside Combines' defeated Rex- alls 4-1 in a peppery game, Bill McTavish, on the mound for Rexalls, fanned 11 batters in only six innings and desrved a better fate for he yielded only one safe hit in the entire distance also, but errors and the walks he issued him- self proved very costly. ' Sarnovsky walked to open the third and with two men fanned, Milne got to 1st base on an error by Sherriff. and then Brabbin walk- ed and an error by the catcher let both runners score. In the 6th inning, with two men out, Sherriff again errorer on a ground ball, this time off Mrozeck's bat and then Tutak walked and with two out, Jozkoski got the only hit Sunnysides collected off Mec- Tavish but it was enough to score the two runners and make the score 4-1, Rexalls, on the other hand, also collected only one safe hit off 'Mro- zeck, as he and McTavish waged a keen pitcher's battle. Support won the game for Mrozeck for he fanned only six batters. Lean walked in the first inning with one out and so did both Sherriff and Shields as Mrozeck got off to a shaky start. With the bases loaded, Lean came home on a bad throw by the catcher to open the scoring but it proved Rexall's only run of the game. Powers got their only hit, with two out in the second inning. Outfielders Brabin and Sarnovsky were standouts for the winners. REXALLS; -- McNaughton, 2b; Lean, 1b; Sherriff, ss; Shields, If; McTavish, p; McGarry, rf; Parrot, c; Brass, cf; Powers, 3b.

By AL VICKERY Canadian Press Staff Writer Winnipeg, June 11--(CP¥-- The 1947 Prairie racing season is still young but not too young to dispel any suspicion that it was to be a big year for United States train- ers With the first 14-days of racing at Calgary finished, Western Cana- dians have been cutting most of the cake, Maurice (Free Press) Smith notes. As a matter of fact, he adds with pride, they hold all the top spots in the training lists, The competition is tough, too. No fewer than 46 trainers sent winners to the posts in the first 10 days. Only a handful have more than one winner to brag about and outstanding among these is Ned Northwood of the little village of Stavely, Alta. Northwood astounded the ex perts, says Smith, by arriving in Calgary with his string just three gays before the season started and walking off with the first race of the year with Miss Yank. "All of Northwood's stock is particularly fit and although he has no stars in his stable, he has consistent thoroughbreds and knows where to place them." Probably no Canadian Sports- writer had a greater interest in the 168th Derby at Epsom Downs last Saturday than the same Maurice Smith.

OFFICIALS RULE OUT CLUBS ON BAD "SCORING" St. Louis, June 11-- (AP) -- Golf stars had a choice today of becoming blacksmiths or getting spectators' tickets for the Uni- ted States Golf Associations' Na- tional Open after U.S.G.A. offi- cials inspected 40 sets of clubs.
