PAGE TWELVE THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE : THURSDAY, AUGUST 7, 1947 Watched Oshawa "Hunters" defeat Oshawa B'Nai B'Rith last night at Alexandra Park and came to three or four very definite conclusions. Given steady pitching, the B'Nai B'Rith should be able to come close to winning the Frank McCallum Trophy this year--but they'll have to find some method of preventing the opposition from stealing bases. That's a fault that is glaring with most Junior catchers these days-- but in the Lakeshore League, this season, we have noted that a fairly fast runner can steal 2nd base anytime and 3rd base almost as frequently -- which shouldn't be! Another noticeable weakness is the amount of one- handed playing being done by players, who on most of the plays could have and should have used both hands. It's strictly "grandstand stuff" and eventually pays off with a costly error. We saw a first-baseman last night play a "bad throw" with one hand--all of which would have made the baseman look good if he had got it--but he'd have looked more like a team player if he had merely got his body in front of the bad throw--instead of letting the throw get through so that two runners red--when only one should have scored. * » + Gavas did a nifty relief hurling chore--when Brown failed stride. Gavas faltered in the 7th as B"Nai B'Rith threaten- game. McTavish started on the have it last night, control, that is, so the last game of the original schedule in the Lakeshore League-- so we await word from Secty Albert Walker as to when the B'Nai B'Rith and "Hunters" are in action again, but we expect theyll have a game or two here this Saturday afternoon. : LJ J ® Tonight at Alexandra Park, White Eagles and U.AW.A. play the last game of the Inter. "A" schedule. If they are tied--that is, if UA.W.A. beats the Eagles tonight and so ties Legion for first piace, then Union and the Legionnaires will settled first place in a sudden-death game to- morrow night. Present indications are that this will be the case, so local softball fans can look forward to another big game tomorrow night. Of couse, White Eagles could spoil all that by winning over the Union to- night. In either case, White Eagles open the playoffs against the team that ends up in 2nd place, with the first game booked for Monday night. There was only one softball game last night, Fittings getting a 19-4 lacing out in Brooklin as the Dodgers finally got their revenge. The Junior playoffs draw' will be announced in Saturday's paper and all softball fans, as well as the Juvenile, Junior, Inter. "AA" and Inter. "A" managers, are warned to be on the lookout. * + KA GM-Colts will not be playing at home or away this week--so they can take full advantage of the holiday. They swing into action again next week with a game Monday night in Toronto, another on Wednesday and then Bowles Lunch will be playing here on Saturday, August 16th. Meanwhile, Tip Tops and Peoples are battling it out for first place in the Beaches League with Bowles only a half- game behind them and Bus Benson leading the loop with 9-straight victories. Not bad, for a pitcher who was about ready to ask for his release, when he didn't get much of a chance in the first three weeks of the schedule, LJ LJ LJ . FLASH; --We have just been informed that B'Nai B'Rith and Bow- ' manville will play one of their postponed games, tomorrow night at Alex- andra Park. The game is scheduled to start at 630 o'clock and the officials had better see that it gets started on time, if they want to be sure of getting in a full seven innings. It was actually too dark to be playing last night, when the 7th inning rolled around--due to a very late start. : : L J L J i. : SPORT SHORTS--Joe Louis smashed King Levinsky, Chicago fish peddler, to the in one round at Chicago, 12 years ago today.

The game makes the run for first place in the Lakeshore League still a little doubtful. The game ftself was not by any means a pitchers battle, as both teams used two men on the big slab. McTavish yielded to the hitting of the Hunters in the 3rd inning, while Brown was wild enough to be retired in the top of the 5th. Hunters Take Lead There were runs galore as Hunters took the lead in the first frame. Murphy led-off with a base on balls. Hayward went down on an infield out, and then Thompson singled to score Murphy. Thompson was toss- ed out at second when he tried to stretch the single into a double. Cook got a free pass to first and stole second. Stovin hit a ball past the second sacker, who made a nice try but missed, That scored Cook. Stovin was then put out on an at- tempted steal to second. B'Nai B'Rith were not to stay trailing by two runs long as they counted two in the last of the first. With one away Wales singled sharp. ly to center, followed by Hanna who bunted and got to first on the pitch- ers error. Wales went to second on the play, but was tossed out when he tried to steal third. Bathe boomed a ball through the first baseman's glove and went to second on the play, sending Hanna to third. Dell then blooped one at the short- stop who bobbled the ball and let two runs score, McTavish Blows Up Scoreless ball till the third frame was the order of events and then wildness on the part of the B'Nai B'Rith pitcher scored two runs for Hunters, He walked one runner in and the other scored on a scratch single past second. B'Nai B'Rith got three runs in the last of the third to make up for\ their pitcher and took the lead in the ball game for the first time. Two singles put men on second and third, where Bathe proceeded to single them home. Dell hit a double to put Bathe on third, and got to third when Mosscrop hit into a force play, which saw Bathe out at the plate. Dell tried to steal home and was thrown out by the pitcher. B'Nai BRith added another tally in the last of the fifth and looked as if they were headed for a win. Dell tripled way deep into right field and was sacrificed home by Mosscrop. But that was all the scoring for B'Nai B'Rith. Error Scores Two Runs Hunters saw their chance in the top of the sixth, and with Tyson on first with a single, Wallace hit a bobbled ball past the third base- man, Souch hit into a force out, that saw Tyson out at third. A wild pitch by Bathe, now on the mound for B'Nai B'Rith, put runners on second and third. Gavas went down swinging, but Pete Murphy hit a sharp ball at the shortstop who threw wildly to first allowing two runs to score. Murphy was put out at third, on an attempted steal, by Wales' neat toss. B'Nai B'Rith went down in order in the last of the sixth and that set the stage for Hunters rally in the top of the seventh. Hayward was hit in the ankle by a pitched ball and moved down to first. Thompson went out on a hot play, pitcher-to-first. Then came Dave Cook to the plate. He duplicated Dell's triple putting the pill in al- most identically the same spot in right field to score Hayward from first. Cook scored on an outfield fly by Stovin, but the next man went down on strikes to end that Hunters now had the lead 8-6. B'Nai B'Rith Makes Last Stab B"Nai B'Rith had not given up yet and they showed it by getting two men on base. One on third, the other on second, with two out. Andy Czerewaty was next man to the plate and he had a "two-and- two" count on him before he hit a long fly ball deep into centre field. Murphy ran like a whippet and was there to make the final putout of the game. Dell was best man at the plate for the B'Nai B'Rith with a two-for- four and a double and a triple to his credit, Cook's game winning triple was the big blow for Hunters and earns him star rating.

The competition is being held outside Toronto for the first time in its long history and the Cutten Field's course is reing prepped for the event. Featuring long, unob- structed fairways and well trapped greens, the Guelph course presents a difficult test for the many Cana- dian golfing experts who will ramble in the quest of the trophy. Open only to members of the Canadian Professional Golfers' As. sociation this is the 20th year of the tournament. The tourney had its origin in a suggestion by "Cap" Millar of Toronto Islington who approached George Cumming in 1927 with the thought that he would like to hold a Canadian professional tournament. The first was held in 28. Several Canadian pros have won the cp more than once with Lex Robson of the Kawartha Lakes Club the leader with six inscrip- tions on the trophy. Jimmy Johnstone and Bill Kerr are other more-than-once winners both having taken the match twice, and Bobby Gray of Scarboro has copped the hardware three times. Other winners include Stan Kerr, Gordon Brydson, Dick Borthwick, Sam Kerr and Willie Lamb--a veri- table roster of Canadian all-time golfing greats--all of whom are entered in the '47 match. Opening day will present 36-holes of .qualifying medal play to be fol- lowed by match play the remaining two days.

Aug. 7 (AP)-- Around the race track they used to say, "money can't buy a champ." But yesterday in the trotters' derby, the Hambeltonian, Mr. and Mrs. James B. Johnson who bred the sulky-pullers on their Lexing- ton, Ky., farm and show horses on their Rochester, Mich., acres, came up with Hoot Mon, who cost them $50,000 a year ago, as their hope finally to bring their colors home. Hoot Mon was the highest-priced horse ever to run in a Hamble- tonian. And he not only meandered home in front of the Dixie flyer, Red Hot Rodney, in two out of three heats, but ran the fastest Hambletonian of them all -- a mile in two minutes flat--to do it. It wasn't only a Hambletonian record, in fact, but equalled Grey- hound's mark for the fastest time ever posted in a race in all trotting history. A new attendance high of 18,333 was chalked up at Bill Cane's Good Time track, and they shovelled $151,907 into the mutuels on the Hambletonian alone and $336,024 on the 16-race "endurance contest" program -for more all-time toppers. Yesterday, they were practically hanging from the rafters at Good Time. Cane built temporary bleach- ers up near the head of the stretch to seat 2,366 customers. And three sections of these holding 546 seats, collapsed and crashed to the ground injuring 73 fans, two of them seri- ously. Whipped soundly. by the giant Rodney in the first heat, beaten off in one bid after three-quarters of the second mile, Hoot Mon picked himself up off the floor and threw his Sunday punch twice to grab the $24,979.86 winner's end. The rest of the field of 13 were left so far up the track they would | have needed a telephone to find out | who won.

S. Potter 'of Aldershot, Ken Andison Advances To Singles Final Driving accurately from the base- line and unlimbering a sizzling ov- erhead smash, blonde Ken Andison Tuesday night toppled Russ Lear- mouth, 4-6, 6-2, 8-6, 6-4, and strode into the finals of the Oshawa Ten- nis Club singles tourney. Andison was forced to slug his way through four gruelling sets be- fore he could eliminate Learmouth, who played a heady game. In a being thumped 5-1 when he rallied and corralled five straight games. Andison refused to get' rattled, however, as he swung back to grab three games and the set, 8-6. In the first set, Learmouth had his service zipping and his varied cross-court drives and slices kept him in command. Andison began to charge the net in the second set and this strategy paid off as he flailed Learmouth's lobs for point after point. With both players tiring in the fourth set, Andison took charge from the baseline after Learmouth had copped the first three games. Using a tricky change of pace, An- dison rolled up four games, lost one and then ended the match with two Straight games. His backhand remained steady while his authori- tative forehand ticked off the points or else forced Learmouth to make the errors, Andison is now awaiting the win- ner of the other semi-final match between Cec. Dodwell and last year's champion, Jack Langmaid. The latter pair are not expected to hook up until next week.

S. Smegal on the mound for Fit- tings, issued fourteen free passes and gave up fourteen hits which accounted for the upset victory, Fit- tings having defeated Brooklin in their three previous meetings. Fittings started off on the right foot with three runs on two hits and an error in their half of the first and added another run in the third to complete their scoring bid. Brooklin got four runs in the first on three walks and singles by Mit- chell and Davidson. Their big ral- ly came in the eighth when nine runners crossed the rlate, Mackey getting a double. Davidson had a perfect night at the plate for the Dodgers with three hits and three walks, while Mit- chell, Graham and Croxall each had two safeties to aid Hooker who pitched steady ball for Brooklin, Locke, Arnold and Ford were re- peat hitlers for Fittings.
