THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE THURSDAY, JULY 31, 1947 PORT NAPSHOTS old of "one bad inning" was told again for the GM-Colts last yr Hig Folly when the dropped a schedule game to Peoples Credit Jewellers. Of course, a sensational 19-strikeout pitching perform- ance by Bob McCown was the big factor in the Oshawa defeat. The Yankee suomariner was whipping the agate in a torrid cilp last night and not until Barnes beat out a bunt in the 6th did Oshawa get a hit. After that, they clipped some clean hits, the best being Wes. Keeler's double. "Dib" Little got a couple of clean blows while Johnny Kitchen and "Wib" Hall had one apiece. The Oshawa infleld again played a sparkling brand of ball last night but Young's absence in centre-field re- in the "garden" and the SEnise Bellere I missed badly in spots. "Lefty" Meulemeester ne BOS a until the 6th but after that, he quickly lost both con- trol and zip and the winners had it easy after McCowan"s hit broke up the game. * * * ailors visit the GM-Cajts tomorrow (Friday) evening mn: for a schedule game, This will be the third trip of Tops and once again they come to Oshawa, as po- They defeated Bowles Lunch last night to and a win over GM-Colts here tomorrow to tie Peoples again for first place. Colts de-' in their last appearanec here, in one of the best and local softball fans, who are showing a distinct otch brand of ball being served up in these games, out in large numbers for this game here tomorrow are that "Abner The Great" Grant will get the here tomorrow evening and there's always plenty ef t when Grant is in the game, so the fans can look for some excitement, as well 7s a real softball battle. "Preem" Whiteley will get the call for the locals and if he comes up with another per- as good as his last, when beaten 1-0 by Tip Tops in Toronto, be anybody's game, from start to finish. > * + In the Inter. "A" games last night, U.A.W.A. walloped White Eagles 16-3 with Stan. Locke pitching a nifty 2-hitter against the Eagles. The odd walk and error was all that prevent him from getting a shutout, with Eagles getting their two runs in the first frame to take the lead and then they never scored again. Over in Whitby, Legionnaires chalked up an- ther win, defeating the Palm Sports team in handy fashion, to keep up nip-and-tuck race with Union, for first place. Tonight, at Alexandra Park, in the last Inter. "A" game of the week, Whitby Palm Sports will be playing U.A.W.A. and & win for Union tonight, will leave first place in the Inter. "A" race still in doubt, until Legion and U.A.W.A. play that postponed game they have. Of course, Whitby could upset the dope- bucket by defeating Union tonight but that is considered unlikely. * * * Oshawa "Hunters" could win the Lakeshore Junior Baseball League, or at least, they'd be in- first place right now, if they could lick Bowmanville. They dropped a 3-2 decision down in Bowmanville last night, which is about the fourth game Bowmanville has taken from the Hunt Club by the margin of only one run. The local lads came home last hight very annoyed, stating that the winning run was an "easy out" at the plate but that the Bowmanville umpire gave the hometowner runner the benefit of a questionable decision. Hunters are protesting the game on the grounds that a 3rd strike wasn't called the 6th inning, as a Bowmanville runner was tagged home. That play ended the inning and the same the 7th and doubled, eventually scoring the dis- y other Lakeshore League Junior tilt last night, Oshawa B"Nai B'Rith visited Peterboro with a holiday-riddled team, by three of the local Midgets (Sunnyside Combines) and FLASH--Latest word on that protested game of the Hunters is that President "Doc" Rundle has ordered a replay of the battle and called last night's tussle "NO GAME", He explained that the umpire made a wrong decision in calling the base runner out on interference In the only Junior softball game played last night, Fittings came up with their best game of the season at the plate, to whip Brooklin Dodgers 18-7, down at Cowan's Park. This one-sided win by Fittings was by nature of an upset and incidentally, makes it mighty. tough for both Brooklin and Aces, who are battling it out for third place, at the present time. Westmount Hep-Cats visit Brooklin this evening and the Dodgers will be out to get back into the win column. Fittings go to Whitby tonight also while tomorrow evening, Fittings play Dunn's Tailors at Bathe Park. * * J We had intended to publish the playoff dates for the Oshawa & 'District softball game, in the 0.A.S.A. Provincial playdowns, in today's issue but owing to shortage of time and space, this line-up of playoff dates for the various representatives, will have to be held over until Friday. * * * SPORT SHORTS--Duncan McNaughton of Vancouver, created one , of the greatest upsets in the history of the Olympic games, beating the world's best jumpers at Los Angeles, 15 years ago today.

However, Mc- Cowan was in top form last night and he didn't allow a single hit until the 6th, when Barnes spoiled his bid for a no-hitfer with a nice bunt. After that the Colts clicked fairly regularly at the plate, but they had left it too late. If "Ab" Barnes had been able to beat out the throw to the plate in the 6th inning, when he sprinted home from 2nd on a single by Hall, the entire aspect of the game would likely have been changed but as it was, he was just barely nipped by a perfect throw and Peoples came back to score five runs in their half of the inning, McCowan winning his own game with a single while the bases were loaded and one out, with the score 0-0. After this splurge, Meulemeester tired and in the 8th, he issued three walks and was nicked for three hits, one a double, tc give the winners another five runs, Tip Tops Here Friday Sammy Shefsky's Tip Top Tailors blanked Bowles Lunch 6-0 with a 6-run rally late in the game last night, to keep tied with Peoples in A] the keen race for first place, Tip Tops will be gunning for an- other tomorrow night, when they visit Alexandra Park for their third Oshawa game of the schedule, against GM-Colts. Colts nosed out Tip Tops 3-1 in their last game here in Oshawa and if they can come back: with the same brand of de- fensive ball that featured their play last week, they can.throw a mon- key-wrench into the Tip Top bid for first place. Bowles are playing Peoples to- HERE FRIDAY morrow night in Toronto and a win for Bowles would put Tip Tops in the position of being able to move into first place, alone, by winning here over the GM-Colts. With the fine brand of softball being served up, local fans are tak- ing a keen interest in the Oshawa "Beaches League" schedule games and one of the biggest crowds of the season will likely be on hand at Alexandra Park tomorrow night to see the tussle between Tip Tops and GM-Colts. UAWA INTERS. WALLO WHITE EAGLES Pu bg Union Pounds Out 16 Runs In Clear-Cut Vic Locke Limits Eagles to Only 2 Hits in Chalk- ing Up Easy Win -- Normoyle, Hurrie and Mullens Pace Union Attack with 3 Hits Apiece In a game up at Alexandra Park last night the U.A.W.A. took the White Eagles down a long trail to win 16-3. The game was a very tight one dnd very well played till the last of the fifth frame when the Union punched home five runs to really take the lead off for the first time in the game. They continued to beat out hits or get to first on errors, of which there was a barrel- full, Al Woods pitched for the Eagles and as usual came through with a good game, and just as usual he dldn't get the support that is re- quired of all teams if they expect to win. His mates committed six errors in the abbreviated game. It was called at the end of the seventh "on account of darkness", even though it was a little lighter then than at the end of the fifth frame. Stan Locke pitched for Union and came through with a mediocre effort, probably due in part to his leg injury. He allowed two hits for three runs, but allowed the runs that did score to come in on his error. His two-hitter though is not to be sneezed at since he was under such a handicap. Eagles got two runs in the first half of the first inning, when Brudek walked, and Kewin got to first on an error to the pitcher. Ted Rospond went down swinging but Bill Trewin slugged one by the mound to score both runners. The next two men were outs and ended the inning. Union came back with a single run in the last of the second on a couple of singles and a force play. They took the lead in the last of the third frame on a couple of runs. Barker doubled with a man on base to score him from second. Eagles tied it up again in the top of the fourth when Jeep Rospond clouted a homer over the cars in right field. Then came the disastrous fifth, when the Union started to roll. They brought in five runs on three hits. Cooper hit a homer for the best hit of that frame, Three more runs in the last of the sixth and then five more in the last of the seventh gave the Union their six- teen to three win.

"TMPIRES--Fair and Hobbs, tory Over Rivals Mixed Doubles Tourney Sees No Upset Wins "Sam" Barker, Oshawa Tennis Club's tennis-wise team captain, finally rang the bell last night as he teamed with Gloria Attersley to win the club's regular mixed dou- bles tournament with a 6-3 victory over Laura McKay and Don Brown. "Sam" and Gloria edged their way into the final round with a tight 6-5 win over Ev. Tonkin and Frank Burrows, The winning pair had plenty of trouble in the quar- ter-final round too, eking out a 6-5 triumph over Francis Johnson and Bill Blight. Ev, Tonkin and Frank Burrows grabbed their semi-final spot, by trouncing Iola Barker and Bryce Brown, 6-1. Laura McKay and Don Brown moved up in the quieter half of the tourney scramble with a 6-4 win over Joyce Smith and Phil Ayling.

McCowan's Hit With 3 On Bases Breaks 0-0 Deadlock In Sixth When Peoples Defeat GM-Colts Oshawa and Peoples Stage Scoreless Strug- gle for Six Innings, Then Two 5-Run Ral- lies Turn Game Into Easy Win for Peoples -- Park Leads Hitters With 3 Safeties--Little Gets Two for Colts Bob McCowan's sharp single to left-field, with the bases loaded and one out, broke up a 0-0 battle at Kew Gardens last night and once the Peoples Credit Jewellers had broken the ice, they went on to score five runs in that 6th inning, then added five more in the 8th to defeat Oshawa GM-Colts 10-1. The game was a real' battle for five and a half innings with neither team doing much to threaten ex- cept in the fifth when' Meulemeester forced Stricker to ground out, with two men on bases. In their own half of the 6th, Barnes beat out a bunt for Oshawa's first hit of the game, moved to second on a passed ball and was . tagged out at the plate on a close play, while trying to score on Hall's (| clean hit through the infield. ineteen Ni Strikeouts With McCowan pitching brilliant ball, Colts had been held helpless up until then. In the 7th Keeler doubled and scored on Littles hit. Kitchen and Little hit in the 9th but McCowan whiffed Barker to end the game with his 19th strike- out victim of the night.» Not only did McCowan submarine the 3rd strike past 19 Oshawa bat- ters and not allow any hits for five innings, but his hit with the bases loaded, broke up the ball game and made it strictly a one- man show. "Lefty" Meulemeester went along in steady fashion until the 6th in- ning when he cracked. Hits by Park and Rhodes got him in trouble at the start, Dear fouled out to Barker but Poloskey bunted to fill the bases | 3 and then came McCowan's single, followed by an infield bobble and a two-bagger by Adams. In the 8th, Poloskey opened with a single and McCowan walked. Then Gilbert singled, Adams and Eckler walked forcing in Poloskey. Strick- er flied out to right, scoring Mc- Cowan after the catch, then Park doubled to complete the rally, for the other five runs, Park Gets 3 Hits "Shag" Park, with three hits in five trips, was best man at the plate for Peoples while Gilbert, Adams and Poloskey each had two. Little was the only Oshawa batter to get more than one hit off McCowan, Stricker went hitless. The Oshawa infield again played well, with Keeler especially good on several hard chances but the ab- sence of Frankie Young in centre was certainly felt. R. H. E.

Singles Fighting off stubborn opposition, three of the Oshawa Tennis Club's top-seeded players rolled into the semi-final round of the men's singles tourney this week. These three semi-finalists are: Jack Lang- maid, Cec. Dodwell and Ken Andi- son. After winning the first set of his quarter-final match 6-4, Jack Lang- maid, last year's singles champion, was forced to come from behind to snatch the marathon second set, 10- 8, from "never say die" Doug Bur- den. Down 5-3 in the second set, Burden rallied to tie it up at 5-5, then fell behind twice only to even the set up again at 6-6 and 7-7. Burden's service clicked and he took the lead at 8-7. With Burden leading 40-5 in the next game, Langmaid snapped out of his slump after making an almost impossible "get" on a forcing cross-court shot. Tying the count at 8-8, Langmaid roared through a love game and won the match with a steady brand of shots in the last game. Both Langmaid and Burden play- ed a cautious style of game, con- tent for the most part to fire away from the baseline. In the first set and early part of the second, Lang- maid employed a neat drop shot with devastating effect. As the sec- ond set wore on, his accuracy with this shot lessened but his other strokes continued to give him rock- solid backing. Cec. Dodwell, the genial veteran who wasn't even going to enter this year's singles tourney, moved into the semi-final bracket opposite Langmaid by eliminating Bill Blight and "Bubs" Stewart. In a two-and-a-quarter match, Dodwell outlasted Bill Blight, 4-6, 6-4, 6.3. Blight, playing fine tennis, upset the veteran in the first set only to have the ebullient Dodwell swing back and take the deciding sets. Major factor in Dodwell's vic- tory was his booming service which gave him the necessary edge at crucial points, Cutting another notch in his vic- tory belt, Dodwell shouldered "Bubs" Stewart aside in a quarter-final match, 6-1, 7.5. Stewart had upset Val -S8tock but he fell before the skilled manoeuvering of Dodwell. Ken Andison bowled over Frank Burrows, 3-6, 7-5, 6.1, to sail into the semi-finals. Burrows toppled Ken in the first set and then made it close in the second. In the third and deciding set, Andison gathered momentum and flashed some spark- ling tennis to win 6-1. SALVATION ARMY SOFTBALLERS WIN OVER ALBERT ST. Salvation Army came through with an easy 14.3 win over the Al- bert Street church team, up at Alexandra Park last night in an Inter-Church League game. 'The Armymen went to work with a will to win in the last of the very first inning, as they pounded out a five run tattoo on the Albert Street chucker. Another single run in the last of the second and then a big five run rally in the third gave them such a great lead that they had little to fear from the Alpert Stréet team for the rest of the game, Albert Street was still in there plugging though, and they got two runs in the first of the fourth to make the score 11-2, only to have the Army team take one of those back on a tally in the last of the same inning. One run in the tdp of the fifth, made it 12.3 for Salvation Army, as Albert Street showed signs of coming to life. But that spark was squelched by some neat pitching and the teams played scoreless ball till the last of the sixth frame when the Army came through with another rally to really clinch the ame. They scored two runs in that inning and that made the score 14- ALBERT STREET -- Bent, c; Jones, 1b; Rorabeck, cf; Code, rf; Johns, If; Higgs, 3b; Norton, p; B. Rorabeck, 2b; and Westlake, ss.

FITTINGS PUT BIG BLAST ON BROOKLIN JRS. Fittings Juniors opened up their blast furnaces last night at Cowan's Park and handed the Brooklin Dodgers a severe scorching, 18-7, in a scheduled Junior "A" softball tilt. Brooklin collected 13 hits off the offerings of Welsh but could only manufacture 7 runs out of it all, five of these in the 8th inning when Welsh hit a wild streak with three walks and these plus hits by Davidson, Crixall and Nesbitt gave Brooklin their big rally. They had scored singletons in the first and 5th frames. They collected 4 hits in the 5th, three of them in succession, and still scored only one run. Not only was Welsh good in the pinches but he received excellent support from his infielders. Fittings started off with three runs on a walk, single by McIntyre, another walk to Dervent and a hit by Arnold. In the 3rd, they added a run, a homer by Dervent and in the 4th, both Arnold and Ford hit homers as the Fittings got to the offerings of Mitchell and pounded his slants all over the -park, for a barrage of five hits and seven runs. That blast did the trick and af- ter that, Fittings breezed along with two runs in the 5th, three in the 6th and a couple in the 7th. The game was called at the end of (and If; the 8th, due to darkness. McIntyre with four hits in four trips and Arnold with two hits and two walks in five tries, Smegal with three hits in four bids were the big hitters of the game. Mackey, Gib- son, Nesbitt and Davidson each had two safe blows for Brooklin.
