SATURDAY, AUGUST 23, 1947 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE * PAGE THIRTEEN * OSHAWA MIDGETS OUST PETE Sunnyside Combines Eliminate Peterboro Midgets In 2-Straight Local Lads Take Second! Game of 0.B.A. Round On Own Diamond by 13-5 -- Oshawa Boys Collect Only 5 Safe Hits but Numerous Walks and Errors, 8 of Each, Makes Scoring Easy -- Mroczek and O'Connor Get Total of 15 Strikeouts Between Them Up at Alexandra Park yesterday afternoon Sunnyside Combines Midget Baseball entry ended the hopes of Peterborough Kiwanis of going further in the O.B.A. play- offs when they eliminated them in the series by winning the second game, 13.5, The Combines were much too powerful and clever for the younger and less experienced Peterborough crew and they showed it in every moved they made. Mrozeck started on the mound for Oshawa and after claiming nine strikeouts in five in. nings, was relieved on account of wildness in the top of the fifth for a relief hurler in the form of O'Connor. Petes Use Two Hurlers Murdock and Shaugnessy did the pitching for Peterborough and allowed only five hits, but issued eight walks between them to make things a lot easier for the Oshawa team. Besides that the Peterbor- ouch infield made eight miscues and scored many runs for Oshawa that way. Kiwanis looked as though they were going to make a game of it this time, as in the top of the first' frame they loaded the bases. But Mrozeck was just warming up and he soon put out the fire with no runs scoring. Combines returned to the attack in the last of the first and on doubles by Crabby Jozkoski and Bunny Maeson they scored the first run. Mrozeck was really hot in the top of the second frame and put the three outs all down on strikes. His mates kept pace with his great hurling, by staging a great base- running display in the last of the inning, to get five runs on one hit. || Peterborough hit the run column in the top of the third with three tallies. Two singles, a walk and a force play put men on the bases, and then a double by Robinson scored the runs, Homesters Stage Rallies Oshawa did nothing in the last of the third, but in the fourth and they pushed over three runs to make the score 12.5, Peterbor- ough having scored two in the first of the fifth on a wild streak de- veloped by Mrozéck. In the last of the sixth Oshawa got their 13th and final run of the game, for after the top of the sev- enth was played the teams agreed fo call the game since the Peter- ough team wanted to get home early. So the final score was 13.5 for Oshawa. O'Connor, J. Jozkoski, and Mae- son were the sluggers for Oshawa, while Murdock the opposing pitch- er was best man at the plate with a4 two-for.three average, R.H.E.

Race With 143 Score Riverside Golf Club, N.B., Aug, 23--(CP)--On tae inside track with a comfortable four-stroke lead, diminutive and graying Ro- dolphe Huot with his score of 143 led the pack today at the half. way mark in the Canadian Pro- fessional Golfers Association tournament with 36 holes to play. Bob Gray of Toronto Scarboro, and Archie Skinner of St, And- rews, N.S, checked in with 147's to hold second place. The first day star, Lou Cum- ming of the Toronto Golf Club, had penalty trouble on the fourth hole which boosted his score by two strokes and helped him to an 80 to add to his original 71, Con. sequently he ranked with defend- ing 1946 C.P.G.A. champ Jules Huot of Montreal Laval Sur.le- Lac and Joe Noble of Toronto Summit in a deadlock for . the number eight position, | Sports Roundup | Seattle, Aug. 23--(AP)--The gen- fal gentleman from Georgia who has his heart set on going back to the majors some day in a manager's toga, has whipped a bad knee, a bump on the noggin, and a last- place complex to make the Seattle Rainiers a factor in the 1947 Pacific Ooast League scramble. Jo-Jo White was a ball of fire in Detroit for seven seasons and he hasn't cooled a bit. He still runs those bases like a bee.stung mule, Lams the first pitch behind the run- ner in the clutch fidgets nervously in right field. White came back to Seattle late last year as head man after several seasons in baseball's swapshop. He found the club hopelessly in the cel. lar, mentally as well as statistically. Just as'Jo-Jo got the Rainiers off to a fair start this year his knee hallooned unaccountably and for a couple of months it was a chore for him to hobble out to home plate and hand the umpires his lireup. In spite of it he played at times and used himself as a pihch-hitter--and for a time he was the league's top clubber. Doctors wanted to operate but Jo- Jo said no, he couldn't spare the time. a Teanhila 50 he was ng along setting the hitting and fielding pace for the team and one day a thrown ball cracked him on the back of the head and knocked him colder than an umpire's heart. He's had a gra- dually disappearing twitch in his left eye even since and the batting average has sagged. "I stand up there ai the plate worrying over the next twitch in. stead of the next pitch,' laughs Jo-Jo. ' "But I'm superstitious. The team seems to do better when I'm playing. I'll stay out there and play as long as I figger I can do the team some good. Fern (that's Mrs. White, who wouldn't miss a game for a mink coat) says I won't quit until I'm shovelled out, but I think I'll know when I get to the end of the line. After more than a year of cellar dwelling the team climbed to the awful height of fourth place for a tie and has been kicking around in fifth place for most of August. Sport Shorts From Britain Big League Ball Games Yesterday By JOE REICHLER Associated Press Sports Writer That glossy National pennant picture, as painted only the other day by Eddie Dyer, master mani. pulator of St. Louis Cardinals, appeared today to have become somewhat blurred. Despite Dyer's assertion that it would be a fight right down to the wire "with the Cards winning it," it was doubtful whether the unpredictable Redbirds have ever been worse off than at this mo- ment. Phils Whip Cards Again Beaten for the second time in three games by the lowly Phillies in Philadelphia last night, the Cards skidded to six full games behind Brooklyn. Although they have trailed by more games on other occasions, never had they so little time in which to make up the deficit, With only three more cracks left at the Dodgers, the Cards have but 15 more games left to play to 33 for the Brooks. The Brooks, unlike the Cards, continued to fatten up on the second division outfits, eking out a 6-5 victory in 12 hard-fought innings at Ebbets Field, A muff of a thrown ball by catcher Ray Lamanno enabled the Dodgers to score the winning run. Lakeman's Homer Does It A ninth-inning home run by Al Lakeman 'with one on won for the Phillies 4.2. The four-base blow was a climax to a pitching duel between Dutch Leonard of the Phils and Harry (The Cat) Brecheen of the Cards. Leonard now has 15 victories, Bob Feller also 15th victory of the season as Cleveland Indians swept a dou- bleheader from the American Lea. gue-leading' New York Yankees 4-3 and 6-1 before 52,106 fans at Municipal Stadium. Feller allow- ed only four hits in winning the afterpiece, Ted Williams collected six hits in seven times at bat as Boston Red Sox divided a doubleheader with the White Sox in Chicago. Williams got two hits in three times in the first game and four for four in the second which was won by Boston 6-3. The White Sox, behind Ed Lopat, 'won the opener 7-2, Kush And Cubs Down Braves After appearing in 37 games pitched his London, Aug. 22--(OP)--The bat. tle of the sexes broke out at Christ Church parish in Ramsgate and the men and women tried--but failed--to settle the argument on the cricket field. Just how the discussion arose is uncertain but the women eventual- ly challenged the men to a contest at anything they cared to name. Ice cream for the winners was to be provided by the losers, The men chose cricket. The Vicar, Rev. R. R. Borland, led his buckos onto the field and so confident of victory were the and bowl underhand. But the women, led by Amazon Peggy Palmer, cut loose a fierce collection of yorkers, googlies, in- swingers and leg-breaks and had the men all out for the scanty total of 66 runs. Then the women batted. They scored--65 runs. An armed truce exists in the par- ish while the two sides think up a new contest to settle the issue. * + * Polo, a sport that had lost its way in Britain, found a new pilot-- a real one, Sqdn. Ldr.

P. Robinson, 28-year-old Van- couver cricketer, now attending Oriel College here on a Rhodes Scholarship, is one of the few Canadians ever to achieve first- class ranking in Britain's National Game--but he modestly describes himself as "no ball of fire" at the game. Figures of his right-arm spin- bowling for Oxford University this season belie that judgment, Against Worcester he bagged six wickets for 55 runs gnd in the "Big Game" against Cambridge at Lords, took four for 51 in the first innings-- as good a performance as any of the English-trained University bowlers marked up. That Cambridge managed to sal- vage a draw in the three.day clas- sic wasn't Robinson's fault. Born in Eastbourne, Sussex, Rob- inson was only five months old when his parents took him to Van- couver, and he counts himself as a Canadian. He began playing cricket when he was 10 and made the Uni. versity of British Columbia team without difficulty. He won his scholarship in 1940 but the war intervened and it was not, until last October--after a stretch of service in the Canadian Army and a year at Ottawa in the Department of External Affairs --that Robinson reached Oxford. Robinson's scholarship entitles him to two vears' study of Economic and Political History with the op- tion of a third but as his leave of absence is for only two years he may have to telescope extra work sarv to drop cricket next season. "Cricketing is just about a full. time job,' said Robinson. "If you play it--sometimes two three-day matches in a week--you're in the field all day and tired out at night and the whole term is practically shot." John Kelly Jr. Wins Canuck Title at CNE Toronto, Aug. 23-- (CP) ~-- John B. Kelly Jr., of Philadel. phia, the 1947 Diamond Sculls winner and Canadian champion, ad ":d to his laurels by capturing the Joe Wright trophy and the Canadian mile championship in record time of five minutes 46 seconds at the Canadian National Exhibition last night, } Kelly took an early lead and at the finish was four lengths ahead of Bob Angyal of New York, with Gaby Beaudry of Ot- tawa third and Bob Platt of To- ronto fourth, Ted Graves of Ot- tawa was fifth, South Porcupine Pitcher Signs With Boston Braves Timmins, Ont, Aug. 23--(CP)-- George Yorke, 20, pitcher for South Porcupine Com- bines jjuniors, yesterday signed a contract to play for Boston Braves of the National League. He will be the.north's first major league ball player in a decade. Whip, Horse Failed Now Shock Customeis They take a strong line with spec- tators in the North Auckland dis- trict of New Zealand where rugby football is almost a religion but ground facilities are rather rudi- mentary. Most grounds are simply a field with goal posts at either end and boundary lines marked out with white paint, One club had continual trouble through spectators encroaching on the field of play in their eagerness it had solved the problem when it installed a large Maori armed with a stockwhip to keep the spectators back. : Even this proved insufficient, however, and next Saturday the Maori appeared mounted on a horse and charged backward and forward along the boundary until ordered off by the referee. But the club is not beaten. Now it has erected an electrified wire fence round the ground. 'Windsor and Sarnia In Lacrosse Finals Windsor, Aug. 28--(CP)--Windsor Sterlings and Sarnia Imperials will meet in a best-of-five series for the Canadian-American Lacrosse League championship, starting here Tuesday, it was announced today. Imperials were originally slated to meet Detroit Parks in a semi- final series but the Detroit Club disclosed it would be unable to con- tinue. Loss of some players and facilities at the Detroit Olympic for remaining home games were the reasons, All final games will be played in Windsor and Sarnia, with Windsor games on Tuesdays and Sarnia tilts on Fridays.

By EDGAR SIMON Canadian Press Staff Writer Toronto, Aug. 23--(CP)--Sooner or later, wherever a small knot of hometown fans are gathered to suffer with their losing ball club, the question is bound to-come up-- why can't those young pitchers be more sofisistent? Ivan (Hamilton Spectator) Miller, recently watched a Pony League game in which three Hamilton Car. dinal hurlers gave up 22 runs, 18 hits, four wild pitches and nine walks. The usual question coming up, Miller moved smartly to his left and rifled the following reply in the general direction of first base: "Youngsters. . . appear to feel they need a bewildering assortment of fancy. pitches, They hear of the knuckle ball, the slider, the screw- ball, etc., and get the idea they can master all these pitches and still throw a decent fast ball, a sharp hook and a change of pace. "As a matter of fact, youngsters are infinitely better off to work on the two standard pitches, the fast ball and the curve. Develop a liop on the fast ball, toss a curve with a little snap to it and mix those two judiciously with a change of pace and you have the formula for pitch- Provided, Miller adds hastily, that you can toss the ball where you want to throw it--but that's another story. Unless the freak delivery comes naturally, it's better left alone, says Miller, because continued experi- ments ruin the youngster's effec- tiveness with the orthodox stuff. Champ Premium More than the title was at stake when Frank Stranahan romped home with the Canadiian Amateur Golf Championship last week if you can believe the fairway gossip. Andy (Toronto Star) Lytle says the talk around' the Boischatel course was that the Toledo flash was promised a $100,000 boost in hig allowance if he copped an amateur crown. It sems Stranahan's father ing junkets without getting any re- turns. Lyttle also points a no-smoker's moral in recalling that finalist Bill Exinicki, five down at the time, januly lit a fat cigar.

But he just kept coming in fot more." Pe», who suffered leg and back injuries in an airplane acci- dent last January, said he was in no particular physical difficul- ty although in one of the early rounds of the title bout here a right by Leslie was a stinger, Les. lie finally took the count after 45 seconds of the 12th round. 'He really did fight," Pep said, "He kept his hands up there high so I couldn't get at him. I had to pick my spots and wait him out." Pep said he was reluctant to go in for the final flurry of blows that sent Leslie to the canvas for the second and last time because he thought the challenger had taken more than enough punish- ment, Still dazed, stung and cut about the mouth and right eye, Flint's 23-year-old challenger could only tell his father, Oren Leslie, a factory worker, "I'm sorry I lost."

WIN FIRST Legionnaires Wallop Eagles First Game | nter. "A" Finals White Eagles Blow Up In 4th Inning As Le- gion Stages 8-Run Scor- ing Parade To Wipe Out 2-0 Deficit -- Bill Trewin and Fred Bid- good Each Get 4 Hits-- Hiller Fans 9 Batters And Is Seldom In Trouble -- Play Dou- bleheader Today. Legionnaires won the first game of their final series with White Eagles up at Alexandra Park last night by the score of 11.2, The game was by no means as uninteresting as it sounds by the score for the teams made it very close in the first few innings with the Eagles having the edge. It was a bad inning that changed the story but quick against the Eagles and from then on it was the Legions game all the way. Al Woods pitched a terrific game of ball and he might have had a win but for some very poor backing up by.his team. Whereas they seemed unbeatable against Unlon looked terrible. Alf Hiller was yin trouble many times during the game for Legion, and at no time was he safe from aaaiiin. the bats of the never.say-die White Eagles. Bill Trewin In particular was dangerous in the box, as he had a four-for-five average. Trewin also made the catch of the night on a long fly to right field which he took on his boot-tops and rolled aller the catch in true Ozark Ike style, ? White Eagles scored their first run in the top of the first inning, when with one away Brudek got a walk. Ted Rospond walked to push Brudek to second. Bill Trewin then laid a hit past the mound that ac< counted for the first run, but after another error when Rospond tried to score he was made out at the plate. Another ground out and the inning was over. The on seemed jittery in the early innings of the game and sa Woods proceeded to mow them down, in one, two, three, style, Eagles tallied one again in the top of the second, when with two away Logeman singled, went to second on an errored ball hit by Woods, and scored on a single past the mound by Kewin. Both teams played a scoreless third inning in which lady luck must have switched the cards for from then on Legion had it all their own way. They scored. eight runs in the last of the fourth on eight hits, many of which shouldn't have been hits.
