Oshawa was strong all the way ty=nu~h the struggle if you can call it that for "Bunny" Legree had the +0..ananville batters eating out of his hand and he allowed but four hits for one run. He walked one man and whiffed one but his mates backed him up to the extent that the Rotarians couldn't make a show of it. Dadson who saw service in Osh. ' awa last time here went te the mound for the Bowmanville team but he was hit out of the box in the fourth inning after the B'Nai B'Rith had collected seven runs from his offerings. Arty Clemence, the long lanky star moundsman of the Bow- manville staff came in for duty then and he didn't do. much better though the B'Nai B'Rith only got two runs from him in three innings. Three runs in the first frame, two more in the second and another in the fourth sewed up the game right then for Oshawa. But just for good measure they got two more in the top of the seventh when Clemence got wild and walked man after man. Bowmanville got: their only run of the game in the last of the fifth when Cox got to first on a fielders' choice that put Clemence out at second. Cowle singled and that pushed Cox around to third base, where he scored on a ground out. The heavy hitters for Oshawa were Patte with "three-for-five" and Dell with "three-for-four". Czere- waty, the hefty first baseman for Oshawa got his telling blow in the first inning when he clipped a double off the left fleld fence, Cox showed the best in the box for the Bowmanville Rotarians.

International League Action By The Associated Press Big Ed Huesser, who began his organized ball career in 929, is not only starring in Montreal's drive for the International League pen- nant, but appears headed for his greatest season. The 38-year-old right hander boasts a 10.game winning streak and tops the circuit's hurlers with a 13-1 won and lost record. . Huesser, obtained from the parent Brooklyn Dodgers at the outset of the campaign, has been instrument. al in the Royals' current 7'%-game margin over the second-place Syra- cuse Chiefs. The lanky star gained the 209th victory of his career last night when he knocked back the Chiefs 11-4 in the first game of a scheduled doubleheader. The second game was postponed because of rain. Huesser, who has seen major league service with St. Louis, Cin- cinnati and Philadelphia in the Na- tional League and Philadelphia in the American League, scattered nine hits while his mates clubbed three Syracuse pitchers for 13 safeties, in- cluding a home run by Earl Naylor. Jersey City moved within one per- centage point of the second-place Chiefes by defeating Buffalo Bisons 5-4. Bill Ayers, third Jersey pitcher, won his own game with a ninth. inning home run. Ayers stopped the Bisons with one hit in 2 1/3 innings of relief. Van Harrington's grand slam home run sparked a six-run rally for Toronto in the fourth inning and enabled the Leafs to defeat Newark Bears 7-1. Norman Brown held the Bears to nine hits to hang up his seventh victory against nine defeats. Rain postponed the scheduled game between Rochester and Balti- more Orioles. -- INTERNATIONAL LEAGUE Ww.

Big League Ball Games Yesterday 2 place New York Giants--6% games By JOE REICHLER Associated Press Sports Writer Baseball fans are hereby warned to prepare for another feverish race to the wire in the National League, with Brooklyn Dodgers and St. Louis Cardinals again assuming the lead- ing roles. Right now Brooklyn has a hand- some four-game bulge over second- over fourth-place St. Louis -- but the Cards aren't so far behind as it would seem at first glance. The schedule is heavily in their favor. Of the four chief contenders, Brooklyn, New York, third-place Boston and St. Louis, the Cardinals have the most games left to play at home with 38. The Giants have 30, the Braves 28 and the Dodgers 26. And if the importance of home territory appears to be over, em- phasized, take a look at the figures. Of 51 games played in Ebbets Field, the Dodgers have won 36 and lost 15 for a remarkable .706 percentage. No wonder the Dodger entourage, heading west today for an 18.game road trip, hummed "there's no place like home." The Dodgers staged. a temporary farewell party at Ebbets Field yes- terday by knocking off Cincinnati Reds in a doubleheader 7-4 and 4-3. Catcher Bruce Edwards was the big guns for the Brooks, driving in four runs in the first game and knocking in the winning run in the nightcap with a ninth-inning single. In both games the home team came from behind, much to the delight of 35002 customers who comprised the largest Dodgers home attendance of the season. The win- ners suffered one tough break when Pete Reiser, the fence-buster, bruis- ed his left shoulder diving for Babe Young's inside.the-park homer in first game Reiser is expected to re- "turn within four days. In the only other. major league game yesterday, Philadelphia Phil. lies walloped Pittsburgh Pirates 8-1 under the lights to stay out of the National League cellar. The Phils hopped on knuckle-ball specialist Roger Wolff for six runs in the first inning to make Dutch Leon- ard's 11th victory his easiest of the year. . In an exhibition game at Coopers- town, N.Y. Boston Braves edged the American League's New York Yankees 4.3 in 10 innings. Before the game 15 newcomers were welcomed officially into base- ball's Hall of Fame. They were Ed Walsh, Rube Waddell, Joe Tinker, Johnny Evers, Frank Chance, Eddie Plank, Tom McCarthy, Jesse Burk- ett, Jack Chesbro, Iron Man Joe McGinnity, Clark ; Griffith, Carl Hubbell, Frank Frisch, Lefty Bob Grove and Mickey Cochrane.

By ALAN RANDAL Montreal, July 22 -- (CP) -- The sport talk in this town today is about the prowess of Bobby Locke in winning the Canadian Open Golf championship which, considering tnis is the Tuesday immediately af- ter the crowning, seems fairly natural. But the conversation even goes so far as to suggest the South Africa's links habiliment may turn back the clock in golfing attire--a return-to- the-plus-fours era, as it were. Our guess is that it won't. We can only remember one man who looked his best in plus fours. Mr. Locke would probably be a champion if he played in a two- button cutaway or the new-fangled parasol hat for men which is the feature of a Montreal sportswear shop window these days. But speaking of attire, Baz (Mont- real Star) O'Meara, has this to say. "Locke came through magnificent- ly on all counts. He played in plus fours and they say that his example is already causing other golfers to think of going back to the old style. "Such is the power of leadership in sport." Still on the subject of Locke, move over now for Dink (Montreal Gaz- ette) Carrol -- "Ca-Role," if you would have it as done by his French- speaking sports colleagues. "There isn't a doubt that the quiet, grinning South African is the greatest competitive golfer in the world today . , . if Locke's putting is a throwback to the era of Jones and Hagen, his/ plus fours also go back to an earlier fashion. But so powerful impression has he made that the American pros are now beginning to pick up the style they called unorthodox only a few months ago, and one of the men at the microphone at Scarboro on Saturday mentioned that he saw numerous plus fours around." Whooping Cranes Face Extinction Unless Pair Found Regina, July 19 -- (CP) -- Some- where in the rugged vastness that stretches for 800 miles from North. western Saskatchewan to the head- waters of the Mackenzie River, 27 Whooping Cranes -- sole survivors of a majestic species whose migra- tions once darkened the sky -- are nesting. But ornithologists, studying their breeding habits in an effort to save the birds from extinction, have been unable to find any trace of them despite a two-months air search of possible breeding grounds.- Robert F. Allan of Florida Keys, Fla., and Bob Smith of Washington -- representing the National Wild Life Society of New York and the United States Fish and Wildlife Service -- have completed an air search covering thousands of miles of uncharted country from Meadow Lake, Sask., on the tip of the pre- cambrien Shield, to Fort Simpson, N.W.T. They found no traces of the birds. Pat Boehmer to 'Hurl for Pucksters Against Petes Pat Boehmer, the former St. Michael's College goalie, now with Boston Olympics, has been picked to do the hurling for an all-star group of hockey players against Peterborough Petes at Peterbor- ough's Riverside Park Thursday, July 24, The game is actually a revival of he Moose Ecclestone Memorial Trophy competition, formerly an annual event arranged each year at Hastings, Ontario by Dit Clapper, coach and ex-player headliner of the Boston Bruins. Clapper moved to Peterboro a year ago to set up residence and business. And he's taken the event with him. Indugurated eight years ago by Clapper at Hastings, the annual event had been in the nature of a softball game between outstanding hockey players and selected oppo- sition. Two years ago Peoples and Tip Tops were the principals. Proceeds of Peterboro's first Ec- clestone Trophy show will be turned over to the Peterboro Kinsmen Club for service work. In Toronto yesterday recruiting hockey forces for the Ecclestone Trophy, which was donated by Lorne Duguid, ex N.H.L. star on be- half of Hiram Walker and Sons, Clapper announced a tentative line- up. He's called on Syl Apps, How- ard Meeker, Turk Broda and Teeter Kennedy of the Leafs; Boehmer, Bobby Bauer, Milt Schmidt, Woody Dumart, 'Clare Martin, Don Gal- linger, Murray Henderson. of the Boston Bruins hockey colony; and Billy Taylor of Detroit Red Wings. Boehmer, Bauer, Schmidt and Meeker are outstanding performers at the moment in the_ inter-county baseball league. / USED CARS! Largest Selection In Oshawa!

About 300 yards out, Bud turned it on and passed Taylor who didn't let him get too far ahead, then Taylor forged into the lead which took him to the tape in 2 mins. 1 7/10 secs.

Well, it has recently completed a 95-page booklet entitled "How to Improve at Track" and is offering it for the price of postage (four cents) to any- one who will write for it. Dealing with everything from how to select your right event through proper body lean and hurdling to blisters, this booklet is really a worthwhile possession for every trackman. Let me quote a paragraph from the sec- tion on "Lift with those knees": "When running any distance over the 220, the average athlete seems to think it is not necessary to lift his knees up as he strides. This is a serious mistake because the knee should always be lifted fairly high and should be kept loose and flex- ible as possible. The idea is to lift the knees and then reach forward opposite leg." * XT * And from the General Notes. "Whenever you are thinking about your race always keep a mental pic- ture of victory in your mind--never dwell on thoughts of losing or mak- ing a poor showing. Try to develop the habit of seeing yourself in your mind as a champion, as a winner. Learn to feel a thrill at the idea of overcoming tough competition to win." * T 0» The address you must send the four cents to is: "Sports College", Box 99, Toronto 1.
