THURSDAY, - JUNE 10, 1948 THE DAILY TIMES)}GAZETTE Bowman - Bassett Duo Again Tops Bridge Tourney The second In a series of dupli- cate bridge tournaments was held the club rooms of the local curl- rink at 226 Bond Street East, 9h Monday evening last at 8.30. Interest and enthusiasm was spreading, evident by the turnout of players from Whitby and district. The executive was pleased with these and the additional new teams from Oshawa, which aided in filling out the nine tables, maintaining the attendance of last week. We have the capacity so we earnestly urge all members to each bring along a new team in order to make this a bigger and better tourna- ment. To further heighten the competi- tion a new method has been impro- vised to balance the teams with respect to their standing. All top teams will sit North and South, and compete against each other for top, honors while the weaker teams sit East and West, This, of course, is governed by your standing from week to week so an improvement in your play automatically shifts you into a higher bracket. This new ruling had apparently no effect on Mrs, Bowman and Mrs. Bassett as they again emerged victors of the North-South sitting for the second week in succession. Congratula- tions, ladies! / The East-West section produced a strong team in Messrs. D. Cutler and D. Matthews whose improved play earned them top honors. M.

Kinder Kirkland Brooklin Is Winner Over Whitby Nine In a Whitby Softhall League game layed last night at the Brooklin Community Park, Brooklin's "Ste- venson Motors" triumphed over the "Price Yards" from Whitby by a 1-6 score in a hard-fought game that saw the homesters do a. lot more hitting than the visitors but little more run-scoring. Browne, on the mound for Brook- lin, was fairly steady throughout except that he issued walks every inning or so and these often devel- oped into runs. Whitby got two in the third frame, featured by Lov- ell's triple after Macleod had walk- ed and Sundin singled. In the 6th, Adair was safe on an error and sco- red when Sundin hit with two out but MacLeod was out going to 2nd. In the 7th, Ross walked and he sco- red on a passed ball and a double by Brown. In the 8th, Whitby made a real bid, as they took 'a l-run lead in the game with two runs sco- red. Adair was safe on an error and after MacLeod fanned, Brown then walked Corner. He fanned Sundin but a wild pitch moved the runners around and Lovell connected with a safe hit to score his two mates, thus making the score 6-5 for 'Whitby. Brooklin tied it up in their half of the 8th when Booth opesed with a single and advanced on a piece of bad infield work by Ross and Lov- ell and then scored after an out- field catch. In the 9th, Brown opened with a walk but he didn't get to second as the next three batters went out in order. D. Mitchell then came ough with a mammoth blow for boklin, to win the game. Prior to this, Brooklin had had to scrape along slowly with one run in the third off Brown's pitching while they collected two more in the fifth and two in the 7th. As was the case with Browne of Brooklin, Brown of Whitby got into his worst trouble through issuing walks. Cooke's triple scored the Brooklin runs in the Tth.

Big League Basehall Yesterday Apparently all that was troubling young Curt Simmons was a case of big-league jitters. Off to a poor start, the 19-year- old high sctiool graduate who re- ceived a record bonus of $60,000 frcm Fhiladelphia Phillies last summer is beginning to pay back dividends, The solidly-built southpaw gave the most impressive performance of his brief career last night when he outpitched the great Ewell Black- well as the Phillies defeated the Reds 3-2 in Cincinnati. The victory, which advanced the fifth-place Phils to only 2'z games behind the first-place New York Giants in one of the closest races in Nationa] League history, was Simmons' third in succession. He now has a record of four victories and four defeats. The Cardinals missed a glorious opportunity to take over first place when they suffered an 11-5 setback at the hands of Bostcn Braves in a night game in St. Louis. A victory over the Braves would have put the Cards half a game on top. After presenting the Cubs with five unearned runs to drcp am 8-7 decision in the opener, the Giants came back to win the nightcap 5-1. Sophomore Clint Hartung spun a neat five-hitter to register his third victory. y Knocking Howie Pollet out of the box with a six-run assault in the second inning, the Braves went on to gain an easy victory for south- paw Warren 'Spahn. The triumph left the third-place Braves only a game and & half behind the Giants. Ralph Kiner's three-run homer highlighted a five-run first inning and=gave Pittsburgh Pirates a 6-4 5 | victory over Brooklyn Dodgers. The Pirates, also only a game and a half out of first place, trail the Braves by ...ee percentage points. In the American League, Detroit Tigers defeated the skidding Athle- tics 7-4. Philadelphia now is in third place four games behind the league- leading Cleveland Indians. Early Wynn registered his sixth victory as the fast-travelling Wash- ington Senators whipped St. Louis Browns 5:2. Britons 'n' Diggers Battle for Ashes By SHAUN McQUILLAN Canadian Press Staff Writer London, June 10--(CP) -- There will be a tang of battle in the early summer air when the English and Australian test cricket teams face each other for the legendary "'Ash- es" at Trentbridge, Nottingham, Despite the Australian display of formidable baiting and baffling bowling since their arrival in Brit- ain April 16--they remain unbeaten against county sides to date--there is a feeling of optimism in the hearts of cricket-following Britons. For a week sports columns have debated the chances of England's side, which though strong in both batting and bowling does not look as impressive as the Australians on paper, The invaders are determined to retain the Ashes which they have held since 1930 and under the shrewd leadership of the peerless run-getting machine, Don Brad- man--still the worlds' best batsman at 39 years of age -- they are firm favorites to do it. But already there has been indi- cation that the Diggers, and "The Invincible Don" in particular, may not be so invincible after all. Malcolm Hilton 19-year-old Lan- cashire left-arm spinbowler, though yet too young and inexperienced to make England's side, put Brad- man out twice in the Aussies' match at Lancashire recently for 11 and 43. His effort made near-hysterical front-page news for Britain and overnight he became almest a Na- tional hero besieged for autographs.

Plroning -- Helintzelman, Cincinnati, Heavy Scoring Features Tilts In OBA Loops By The Canadian Press Sixteen Senior Ontario Amateur Baseball teams donned cleats, last night as eight more games were written into the record books of four leagues. In the Intercounty Baseball Lea- gue three games were played. The league-leading Waterloo Tigers swept to an easy 10-1 victory over Galt Terriers, while London Majors defeated Guelph Maple Leafs 6-2 and Kitchener Panthers white- washed Brantford Red Sox 7-0. Welland Wing Welland continued their winning ways in the Niagara District loop when the top-place Stokes ham- mered out a convincing 12-3 victory over Niagara Falls, N.Y, Kimberley- Clarks. Houcks, from the Canadian side of the Falls, scored a neat 4-1 win over St. Catharines Athletics in the other Niagara game. Up north, Frood Tigers pounded out an overwhelming 19-0 triumph over Garson, while last-place Creighton Cubs handed the leading Sudbury Shamrocks a 6-3 setback in the Nickel Belt Senior circuit. In the Timiskaming Senior Porcupine Combines moved into second place with a 13-9 victory over McIntyre Macmen. Waterloo was helped along in their 10-1 win over Galt by some poor Terrier fielding. Galt paraded four pitchers while Gord Arris went the distance to Giers, allowing 7} hist, Tigers cloutea 13 safeties in all, With two out in the ninth Don Bauer hoisted a home run over the right field fence. London's Triumph Tommy White kept eight hits well scattered in London's 6-2 win over Guelph, It was Guelph's- seventh consecutive loss. Bill Leader pitched the distance for Guelph and gave up 11 hits. His team mates commit- ted six errors as only two London runs were earned. Kitchener's 7-0 victory over Brantford was their third straight. Lefty Montarelli hurled well and although getting himself into trouble several times, left 12 Red Sox runners stranded on base. He gave up five hits and received neat support from his infield who click- ed on two twin-killings. Brantford's five hits were well scattered with no two coming in the same inning. Pitcher's Duel Houcks' 4-1 win over St. Cath- arines was a pitchers' duel between Johnny Worrall and Don Senese. Worrall wasn't scored 'on until the ninth, and only two batters reach- ed third previous to that inning. Both hurlers gave up only five hits. Porcupine's 13-9 decision over McIntyre moved the Combines into second place in the Timiskaming circuit, Starting McIntyre hurler George McShane was knocked from the mound in the first when he gave up five straight hits, one a homer by Louis Romualdi. Sparky Vail was next with six runs on four hits in two -innings. Dusty Baker took over and was touched for six hits and two runs in six innings, while Matt Mesich" hurled hitless League, | Buffal ball in the final frame. (Continued from Page 14) .

The Internation- Form Jr. ORFU, Invite Members From E. Ontario June 10 --(CP)-- Junior football in Ontario got a new deal here Wednesday night as delegates from 10 Western Ontario cities met here and formed the Junior Ontario Rugby Football Union, At least eight entries were as- sured at the initial meeting and junior football clubs from all over the province will be invited to fall in line with the new movement. The league will be a self-governing Bu and will affiliate with the O.R. Dr. H. G. MacDonnell, Kitchen- er, pioneer of the idea, was named president of the organization. He will be aided by a three man ex- ecutive and each club entering the group will appoint one man to the board, Other officers elected at the meeting were: Vice-President, Alex Colvin, London; secretary, George Smith, Kitchener; treasurer, Doug- las Wilson, Chatham. Entries will be accepted until July 15 and all Junior football clubs in Ontario are being asked to join the new organization. Teams ~ |represented' at the initial meeting 2 were: Windsor A.K.O., Chatham, Woodstock, Brantford, Kitchener, Galt, Hamilton, Sarnia, Petrolia and London. St. Thomas was also considered a possible entry. An entry fee of $10 was approved and it was decided that the new grouping would meet shortly to ap- prove a set of by-laws. The meet- ing expressed the hope that the Niagara district and Eastern On- tario would contact the secretary with a view to joining up. al Ceague-leading Bears came back to gain a split by winning the second game 8-2. Porterfield and the veteran Oscar Judd waged an even duel until the last half of the sixth inning when first baseman Hank Biassati of the Leafs straightened out one of Bob's pitches for a home run. Syracuse remained in third place, 2% games behind the Bears, when they divided a doubleheader 1-3 and 5-1 with Buffalo, 60 KING ST. EAST NEWTON RICHARDS, Prop. RENT A NEW CAR . and DRIVE IT YOURSELF!

BILL STACK Spicy Bits From Other Sports ( Cols. By WILLIAM BOSS Canadian Press Staff Writer Edmonton, June 10 (CP).--Bar- bara Ann Scott has found editorial agreement for her oft-repeated wishes "for a long rest." The Ed- monton Bulletin said editorially this week that if she didn't take one--from the news columns at least--Canada's Barbara Ann was going "to degenerate into a first- class bore." "When we hear, day in and day out, how that fascinating young lady was presented with a car by the City of Ottawa, how she has turned professional, .all -about her movie offers, how she is worried to death about her freckles, and, finally, how she has figured out a way to beat the income tax--well, there is such a thing as too much Barbara Ann Scott. "It would be a very great pity if this admirable young lady were to be completely smothered in saccha- rine adulation." Daddy! "Take me out to the ball game!" resounds more than ever pre-war throughout Japan, China and the Philippines, writes Jim (Edmonton Bulletin) Algeo. Quoting Col. W. F. W, Hancock of Edmonton, recently returned from a Far East business trip, he writes: "The people of Japan are base- ball crazy. Every vacant sandlot, lane and any other available space where future Japanese Babe Ruths and Stan Musials can practise, are running at full tilt. It's not an uncommon sight to see the kids take to the diamonds as early as 5 am. and play until dusk." Still Hockey George (Edmonton Journal) Mackintosh notes that the Pacific Coast Hockey Leagues going pro leaves but three "so-called ama- teur" leagues in the dominion--the Western Canada League, the O.H.A. and the Quebec League. "It's probable that a considerable number of the players who figured in the coast loop last season will be looking for new berths because they are not keen on being 'tied up for life' in minor pro ranks," is George's reading of the develop- ment. 'Rock' Gets Edge In Betting Odds Tonight's Tussle By MURRAY ROSE Newark, N.J., June 10--(AP) -- rocky Gramano and Tony Zale kept an anxious eye on the sky today as they sweated out the hours for their 15-round Middleweight title bout in Ruppert Stadium tonight. On edge after months of train- ing drudgery for this third and rub- |, ber fight, the battlers were keenly disappointed when intermittent rainstorms yesterday set back the fray a day. Today's forecast for "partly cloudy" weather was enough to keep them on the hot seat. They weighed in yesterday, champion Graziano at 1581 and Zale at 158%, and don't have to repeat the cere- mony today. But should nasty squalls force another 24-hour delay, the gladia- tors will have to make the 160- pound division limit again Friday noon. While Zale and Graziano were disturbed over the postponement, the promoting Tournament of Champions, Inc., counted on it to bring another harvest ¢f dollars. The "seven angels" as the back- ers are called, already have a tic- ket sale of more than $277,000 and $70,000 for radio and movie rights. Whatever comes in today is pure gravy. Graziano will get $120,000 and Zale $60,000 Betting odds 'on. the fight re- mained stable with the rough, rug- |. . ged New York title-holder favored at 5 to 11. STRONG BID New York--Buddy Hicks, rookie St. Paul shortstop, iz making a strong 'bid for the American Asso- ciation All-Star team and the asso- ciation "rookie of the year" award. Hicks was named All-Star short- stop of the Western International League while playing with Spokane last year. FINE MOUND MARK New York -- Ernie Funk, right- handed hurler for Thomasville of the Georgia Florida League, has one of the finest pitching records in professio: seball. Or Ty 14 Funk had started, finished and won eight games. 2AGE FIFTEEN Sports Roundup By HUGH FULLERTON, JR. New York, June 10 -- (AP) -- George Trautman, boss of minor league baseball, raises an objection to an inference in this column that there might be some connection be- tween the recent baseball betting scandal and the low salaries paid to some minor league players . ... The player involved, Trautman points out, was collecting a salary somewhat above the general scale . . Obviously, he shouldn't be tempted to sell out for a few meas- ley bucks, but doesn't that also in- dicate that some kids are being paid below the scale--or that some- one is cheating on the salary limits? . .. "You must keep in mind," adds George, "that without the so-called 'bushes' where men strive to keep the game alive because they love it and not because it is a pot of gold, major league baseball would be but a memory." . . . That's a fine and true statement, but right now we're concerned with the minor - league player who is trying to make a living out of the game. Timid Timmy Timmy Temerario, now line coach for the Detroit Lions, tells this one about the lesing streak that chased him right out of base- ball . . . Timmy was coaching a team of "hitless wonders" through a long losing streak at Denison University . . . Then one day the team found itself in the unique position of having the bases full with no one out . . . Desperately seeking a run to break the "jinx" they decided to try a squeeze play . The attempted bunt was just a pop fly to the pitcher, who wheeled around and threw to third. From there it went to second and to first, killing off all the runners . . . "Four putouts" exclaims Timmy. "That's how badly things were go- ing. It convinced me baseball was not for me."
