THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE MONDAY, MAY 17. 1948 PAGE TEN NAPSHOTS Campbell Hurrah! and three rousing cheers! The "Sport Snapshot $5.00 Club" 'his the $500.00 mark on Saturday night just before midnight and we are now past the half-way mark on the way to $1,000.00 by the 24th of May. Big boost of the week came from a group of Oshawa sport boost- ers'who have always been "in there pitching" for the good clean sport in the city and have on numerous occasions sponsored teams in various _sports and have always been on hand as "cash customers." We refer to "George Lakas and his four sons, popular operators of the "Victory _ Billiards" billiard parlor and lunch bar. George and his boys, "Gus, "Wick," Jack and Phil, stepped up in handsome fashion on Saturday to join as members of the "Sport Snapshots $5.00 Club" and not only paid their membership fees but added a real substantial boost to the ind, with a cheque for $100.00. Nice going and who'll be next with a ""iing-sized" membership fee? s LJ = Roy "Wink" Winter, now in the fed in . North Oshawa but formerly a resident of Orono and one of the men, > who back a few years ago, was playing with late Orme Gamsby's Orono Ramblers in baseball, hockey, soccer, etc, came up with a membership, in memory of the late Orme Gamsby. Thany you, Roy, we know Orme would have been a booster of the "Sport Snap- shots Club" if he'd still been with us. "Ward" Pankhurst, one of ihe keenest baseball fans in the city and also a hockey roofer too, put Cedar Dale's No. 2 membership in this week, and we've got Dick -Burkart, Cyril Waite, Don Jackson, "Tony" Scott, Art Legge, well-kn h ball player of. the COBL days and later * manager of the GM-Men Ontario senior champs, joined up. So did "Red" Jubenville and Lorne Dalton, a couple who have helped bring ©". Ontario championships to Oshawa with GM baseball teams and the Wi "Colts" softball club. "Wink" Gummow, Neil Hezzelwood, Oshawa " Hockey Club's perennial secretary and a keen booster as well as active official with several sport clubs a few years back, such as "Blue Devils," etc., are others who joined over the week-end. C. E. Mec- Tavish, former Osh GM tive, now living in Toronto, sent along a membership for himself and one for his son, Stewart. "C.E." was president of several local sport clubs here, including the GM lacrosse club, Oshawa Hockey Club, etc., and has always boosted sport in Oshawa. We're especially glad to receive memberships from "former Oshawa residents who still think enough of their old "home- '7 town" to boost the sport interests here. "Middlestone Beagles" (Dr. Wes. L id, hunter, bowler, curler and beagle hound en- thusiast) rounds out our list for the $500.00 mark. This is a fine showing to date and we hope there are lots more on the way. L J L a "Manny" Swartz captured the Canadian Bowling 'Association cham- pionships this year, made a clean sweep of the men's singles events, to win the singles title and also the grand aggregate trophies, It's the second time a bowler has won both (Wicks of Ottawa, a few years ago, being the. other) and it's the second time the Oshawa trundler has won the singles crown. He also was a member of the Syd Silver's team, men's CBA champions for this year. And speaking of bowling, the "Midnighters," late entry in the Mayfair Lanes tourney, rolled 4,009 for their three games on Saturday night to win the men's team title. It was. truly sensational bowling--but more about that in the bowling news tomorrow. L Swisnlled es 1 + LJ * LJ 'We regret to inform local sport fans today of the death over the week-end, in the Kingston General Hospital of George Frederick i » Frink, in his 46th year. "Maggie" was one of Oshawa's top softball catchers, back about 20 years ago, when he caught for Art Rogers and they opposed "Doc" Rowden and Dr. "Ike" Sutton as Oshawa's two topnotch batteries. "Maggie" also caught in the big _ diamond game and was one of the heroes of the "South End" in the days when baseball flourished in the local "Church League" days. He has resided at Odessa, near Kingston, for the last 12 years or so. LJ Lo LJ . The Oshawa Lacrosse Club boys are very happy these days. They've a flock of imports in from Mimico (guess there was plenty to that vunderground wire" after all, "Butch") with "Red" McAdam, Haney: and . Peppio all here now and theyre bringing two more this week, Christie and Morrow. They're all Mimico boys--but McAdam was with Hamilton last year and Deppio was at Peterboro. Coach Kelly DeGray was mighty pleased with him team's workout on Thursday night and right now it's obvious that some of last year's team will have to show im- Srovement if they are to catch 'a berth on this year's stronger club.

OOVI | hole Toronto, May 17 -- (CP) -- With promise of a temperature as "high as 67 degrees and only a "few showers" threatgning, it appeared the historic Woodbine Track would be in pretty fair shape today when the creaga of the Canadian-bred three-year-olds go to the post in Twin Trials for the classic King's Plate. 28 Horses Named The Plate Trial is the only race in which King's Plate contenders may run as three-year-olds before they race for the actual "Guineas" a week hence, on the May 24 holi- day. Twenty-eight colts, fillies and geldings have béén .named to start in the trial, 14 in each division. trial carries $2,500 added, but the trials are run at on- ly six furlongs whereas the 88th running of the Plate itself is at a mile and an eighth. The Plate next week carries the King's 50 Guineas and $10,000 added by the Ontario Jockey Club, whose spring meeting opens this afternoon. In Two Divisions : Because of the large .eniry, The Plate Trial has been split in two divisions since its inception in 1944. Of the eight winners since then on. ly two have gone on to capture the King's Plate itself--the Oshawa Parkwood Staple's Kingarvie and KING'S PLATE TRIALS WILL FEATURE WOODBINE MEET OPENING Uttermost, winners of 1946 and 1945 respectively. Last year's Plate win- ner was Parkwood's Moldy. Two of the leading Plate conten- ders by chance were drawn in sep- parate divisions this afternoon. That would establish Carr Hatch's Sweepblu, a Sweepster colt, as fav- orite in his race while the Winni. peg Whittier Park stock farm's Lord Fairmond snould carry rule of the wagering in the other trial. TODAY Here Are The Threats Chief threats to Lord Falrmond are Parkwood's "Anudond," R. W. Grant's "Imagine Me," W. J. Few- sters "Joey" bomber and H. R. Bain's "Graydon Trace." Sweepblu's main opposition is ex- pected to. come from Parkwood's "War Wrack," J. H. Black's "Meal Time," Charles Turner's "All Brit- ish' and Frowde Seagrams "Face off." . LOCAL KIDS Oshawa Motor City Taxi "Junior Baseballers Open Season With 11-11 Draw WITH 'EDERALS IN EX. Toronto Federals Come From Behind in Top of 9th to Take Big Lead-- "Cabbies" Knot It Up On Daring Baserun- ning in Last of That Frame--*"Crabby" Joz- koski Hits Two Rous- ing Triples for Locals By BOB RIFE Toronto Federal Fuels seem to still hold that jinx over Oshawa's Motor City Cab baseball club. Last year the Cabbies, then known as Sunnyside Combines, lost three of four games to the Coalmen. Sat- urday afternoon saw them get no revenge for this either as both teams decided to call it quits when the score 'was 11-11 at the end of regulation time. Despite that high score the game was a real hummer, The pace set by both teams was one that kept the fang always on the edge of their seats for they didn't just know what was going to happen next. The léad changed hands of- ten and it made for a great open- ing of the baseball season in Osha- wa, Ab. Gllbert was the starting hurl- er for the Cabbies, and he could have won the 'game had he been allowed to stay in as events turned out for he held the Coalmen to no runs in his tenure of the mound. Gilbert pitched very cool ball and held sway all the way but for a bit of excitement in the top of the third frame. 'Twas then that To- ronto got two hits in a row off the bespectacled right-hander with two out. Ab. came through in the pinch in the style 'that is all his own, striking out the next batter who was Tetef, Toronto's cleanup man, to end the inning. His teammates by this time had built up a very handy lead under the batting prowess of "Crabby" Jozkoski, and Wilf Morrison. Morri- son doubled with Jozkoski on sec- ond in the first inning to score the first run. Then Morrison, through some great base-running, managed to knot the Toronto first-sacker so much that he bobbled a throw to third that should have caught Wilf, and so the second run scored. A walk and a single by Sarnov- sky set the scene for Jozkoski's first three-bag swat. He cleaned the bases with the blow to bring the score to 4-0, but failed to score himself when the next man up ended tHe inning on an infield dribbler, Both teams were going to use all their pitching staff in such an ex- hibition game to see how they stacked up so Ross le came in for Toronto, amd : McTavish over for Gilbert on the Cabbie side of the ledger. McTavish's blazing fastball held the Coalmen-in check 'for fourth inning as did Ogle, but in the fifth, Big Bill began to weaken percep- tibly and pitched himself with three walks, and by hit- ting one batsman. Toronto was on t him 'now and waited him out. They managed through two erors in the Oshawa infield to make in a four-run splurge and so tie the score. Bunny Maeson, the lanky first baseman for the Cabbies, was the hero of the piece when ' he saved further play with an unas- sisted double play. He picked up a beautiful shoe-string catch near first: with the runner off the bag, and then beat him back for the double-killing. Masson also got the lead back for his team when getting on base in the last of the fifth by a two-base error; he waltzed home when Ted O'Connor boomed the ball past sec- ond base. That lead wasn't held long by the Oshawa crew though, and Toronto took command .with a two-run ral- ly in the top of the sixth off. the bat of one Vonsden. He belted a double into left field scoring a man before him, and then galloped home himself on Slamon's single. ! But Oshawa were not to be out- done and with the score 6-5 against them, they counted three runs in \the last of the sixth to go out in front again. "Crabby" Jozkeski un- corked his second triple of the day, scoring two runs again, and came home himself again by way of the single clouted by Wilf Morrison. All hands changed pitchers again, with Robertson, coming for Toron- to, and Nick Mroczek serving them up for Oshawa. Robertson is a southpaw, and he really had the Motor City squad's number for the seventh and eighth innings. Mroczek's "fork, ball" had Toron- to fooled for the same length of time, but in the top of the ninth with Oshawa leading 8-6 and vic- tory staring him in the face, Nick got that wild streak which McTav- i had, and he couldn't .get rid of Two hits; four walks and Nick had to quit the mound. He had allowed five runs to cross the plate, all because he wanted to pitch 'em out, Ted O'Connor, the: heavy-hti- ting utility second baseman and pitcher, came in for the rest of the inning with two out and men on first and third, He tossed one ball, a pop fly to center, and the inning ended. Yolcks! ' That splurge hit the Cabbles hard, and they looked like sure lo- sers, but those kids came back. Morrison led off with a ringing single to second. Bunny Matson begged a base on balls. Ted O'Con-~ nor hit into a probable force-out, but a fumble scored one run and put men on second and third. O'- Connor then ran the bases like a champ, and literally pushed Mae- son in from third with his long lead-off the keystone bag. Junior Milne boomed a nifty fielder's choice toward first, which was toss- ed to the plate too late to beat O'- DIB: That made the score 11- Milne tried the same kind of run- ning with Henry Jozkoski on first and two men out. It didn't work though, and he was tagged out go- Pe Je third to end the game at R H E Toronto . 000 042 005 11 10 7 Oshawa.... 220 013 003 11 11 5 TORUNTO--Glayin, cf; Vonsden, rf; Salmon, 1b; Tetef, If; Kennedy, 2b; Kostka, 3b; Collict, p; Andrews, ss; Sheldon, c; Terry, If in 9th; Ogle, p in 4th; Robertson, p in 7th; and Kett, c in 5th.

Out Of Money Pro Golf Debut Philadelphia, May 17--(AP) --- Johnny Palmer of Badin, N.C, earned a comfortable $2,500 by a sterling demonstration of skill and courage that won the $15,000 Phila- delphia Inquirer invitation golf tournament Sunday. To do it he had to beat off a de- challenge by Ben Hogan, and overcome the added hazard of peuring rain on a difficult 6 670-yard golf course. His closing round of 68 strokes, four under par, gave Pal- mer a 281 total, four strokes better than Hogan. Second place was worth $1,800 to Hogan. Lloyd Mangrum picked up $1,400 for third with a 287 total for the. 72 holes. Eric Monti, Santa Monica, Calif, had 288 for fourth prize of $1,100. No other player could equal par. Bobby Locke, the Transvaal Tra- veller finished in seventh place with 201 while Bill Ezinicki of To- ronto, N.H.L. hockey player making his professional debut, ended far down the list with 311. Masked Marvel Oshawa Debut Tuesday's Show "Pat" Miloch, Ocshawa's young wrestling show promoter, tagged as "the youngest promoter in Canada," comes up with his third offering of the season, tomorrow night at the Oshawa Arena and while it will be extremely difficult to top the fine brand of mat entertainment pre- sented last week, local fans will likely be more than satisfled as long as tomorrow night's show compares favorably with the last card. Another "Bad Man" And it should at least do that much! For a starf, promoter Mi- losh has lined up a promising "main bout," with "Pat" Flanagan, a local favorite, tangling with "The Masked Marvey." They've been presenting dastardly vicious mat villians, their identity secreted be- hind masks, hoods, etc., for several years now but the "Masked Marvel" hasn't been here before--so we are told, which means that Oshawa wrestling fans will have a lot of fun trying to identify the latest of "the hooded horrors." The "Masked Marvel" is rated in most places where he has appeared, Toronto, Peterborough, Belleville, etc, as "The King of Villains," so the Oshawa mat fans can expect lively action here tomorrow night, for "Pat" Flanagan knows his way around the squared circle and can play it as rough as most of 'em. Hi Lee Returns In the semi-final bout, "Hi Lee," the Ozark Giant, who made such an impression here last week, what with his Kreml (before aising) hair- do, his towering stature and animal growls, will take on Earl McCready, former Canadian heavyweight champion. McCready is very popu- .lar here and Hi Lee took one of his big steps towards being one of the most unpopular, so if he continues his tactics, the fans will want to see McCready take Hi Lee and cut him down to Low Hee size--whicia we doubt he can do, but it'll be in- teresting to see the attempt. For the preliminary bout, "Pat" Milosh hasn't yet announced his gladiators. He has Jan Gotch available but Bill Stack of Bow- manville is out with an injury and so unavailable. Perhaps he'll come up with two "brand new" battlers for the curtain-raiser. Af any rate, there'll be an opening bout and the semi-final and main events seem to assure the fans that the card will be worth seeing. "Montys" and Flyers Boxla Battle Ends 5-5 " Quebec, May 17--(CP)-- Bitter rivals last year, Cornwall Flyers and Quebec Mcntagnards renewed their lacrosse feud here Sunday night but neither gained ground as the pen- alty-studded match ended in a 5-5 stalemate, Some 2,000 Interprovin- cial Senior Lacrossa League fans saw 21 men waved to the penalty box, four for majors. No. extra time was played to permit the Flyers to make connec- tions for a late train. EASY TITLE CONQUEST Rosslake, Eire, May 13--(AP) -- Philomena Garvey, youngest mem. ber of the British Curtis Cup team, retained the British women's golf championship here today, beating Mrs. Val Redden, another British Curtis Cup player, 9 end 7, in the 36-hole finals.

They'll not have Bill Goulding, bui the fans didn't see muoh of him last time, and will not be as interested as in the hard.punching Fred Harding. Fred you will re- member as the kid .who took the hard way about winning his semi- final bout last time. He went the route, and took a lot of mauling in the process before beating out his triumph over the Buffalo boy. This time he'll meet one of the group of Niagara Falls boxers' com- ing this way, Jim Cummings. Bud Henry and Ray Lavigne, also of Niagara Falls, will meet in the semi-final show this time, and we'll see if the slap 'em down Mr. Henry can do it. Both these bouts are scheduled as five.-rounders, but may not go the route. Nine bouts in all are featured, and among the other box ers to show will be Doug Stone, the popular local boy who won. such a unanimous decision on his last out- ing. 4 This all takes place this Thurs- day night at the Arena. The pro- ceeds are going to be used to send the boys to the "real" Olympic' trials in Montreal. Barrett Pitches Seattle of P.C.L.
