v / 'SATURDAY. AUGUST 7, 1948 THE DAILY TI MINOR SOFTBALL GAMES ROYALS MOVE TO TOP SPOT WITH WIN OVER THE NAILERS Royals took over possession of tirst place inthe Oshawa Minor Softball Association's Mu .. League race when they defeated Nailers at North Simcoe School diamond, 25-7, last night in a scheduled fixture. Royals jumped on Woodcock's slants in the first inning with a walk and three solid hits and an error, aftef two were out, to take a 5-0 lead. They added four runs - in the second on four .more hits and Etcher"s homer behind two walks and a single helped another S-run rally in the third, to make 'it 14-2 for the Royals. Sutherland took over the hurling duties in 'the third inning for Nailers and did a much better chore, until the 9th frame, when he too weakened and the Royals rap- ped him for five solid hits and a half-dozen runs. Royals were hitting hard last night and Nailers hurt their own cause by making costly bobbles and thoughtless misplays while Tkaczuk, on the mound for Royals, had his slider working nicely and Nailers could do very little at the plate. An error and a walk, to Little, followed by Oldfield's single, scored the first two runs for the losers. They added two more in the 3rd on three hits and a couple of walks. In the 7th, Stovin singled to score two of his mates and in the 9th, Little smacked a double and came home on an overthrow to 3rd, for for the last run of the game. Stovin had four hits for Nailers and Oldfield had a couple. For the winners, Hall, with four hits, Cooper with five safeties and Howie, with four, were the best and the others all did their share in the scoring.

Jones, ace hurler for the Aces, was again in rare form and he struck out 11 batters in the six frames, while issuing only a couple of free tickets. Snow fanned six for the Chiefs but he got himself in trouble several times by giving up a total of ten walks. Park Road Chiefs didn't score until the 6th inning, when they pushed across two runs on walks and Snow's timely hit. Aces opened with five runs in the first frame, when Snow started off badly, with a couple of walks and Seles con- -nected with the bases loaded. The winners added three in the second on Wasylyk's homer and five more in the third and one in the fifth, for their total.

WEIGHELL Toronto, Aug. 7--(CP)--Two even- ly-matched teams--Montreal Car- siee] and Vancouver St. Andrews-- clash here tonight in the first game of their best-of-three series for the Dominion Football 'Association championship. Captained by Johnny Newbold, St. Andrews will try for its second con. secutive Canadian title. Canada's oldest eleven, they won the crown last year for the first time in more than. four decades, Cecil Goodart, who suffered leg injuries in the Western final series with Winnipeg Fort Rouge Legion, is the only member unlikely to play in thé opener. Carsteel, beaten only once this year, are counting on such reliables as goalie Dan Smith and versatile Jock Sinclair to help take their first Dominion title since the club's for- maton in 1923. Other standbys are Bill Chambers, 13 years with Mont- real Carsteel and Doug McMahon, top goal-getter with 38. Albert Anderson, suffering leg in- juries received in a recent match with Toronio Greenbacks, is expect. ed to be ready for action in the second contest. Apart from another casualty, Tommy Harris, who may play tonight, the Eastérn champions have a full team. Bucky Walters Made Cincinnati's Manager Brooklyn, Aug. 7 -- (AP) --Bucky Walters, yeteran pitcher of Cincin- nati Reds, succeeded Johnny Nein as manager Friday night as tne ax struck again in National-Lea- gue managerial ranks. The switch wag announced by Warten Giles, club president and general manager, just before the Reds-Dodgers night game at Eb- bets Field. He said Neun's con- fract was ferminated by mutual agreement. "Walters has been named man- ager for the remainder of the sea- son," said a brier statement issued by Giles. "Limiting the term to this year was at Bucky's suggestion and with 4 mutual understanding concerning the future." Neun, a successful minor-league manager in New York Yankees' farm system after his playing days were finished, became manager of the Reds in 1047, replacing Bill McKechnie. The club finished in fifth place and was expected to do at least as well this year. However, a succession of injuries, the most important of which was the one suffered by ace pitcher Ewell Blazk- 'well, hurt the Reds. They recently had a long losing streak but came back to defeat the league-leading Boston Braves three out of four games. The Reds, under Neun, won 44 and lost 56 this year || and have spent most of the cam- paign in seventh place. Walters, 38, broke into baseball as a third baseman in 1929, He was with Boston Braves off and on from 1981 to 1934 when he joined the Phillies where he was converted into a pitcher, June 15, 1938, Walters was traded 18 Cincinnatf for three players and $35,000, He was voted the most valu- able player in the league in 1939. ts + UPHOLD PROTEST Tarqusy, Devonshire, England, Aug. 6--~(OP) -- An International Yachting jury uphéld Canada's pro- test against France in the sailing of today's Olymr'» 'iré'ly class race but the decison hos ro baring on the second-place 'inish . scored by Paul McLauchlin of Toronto. * International League Action By The Associated Press With Montreal oyals virtually assured of the. pennant, six teams are engaged in tight battle for the International Baseball League's three remaining playoff positions. The Royals took a twin bill from the tail-end Baltimore Orioles, 6-2 and 2-0, Friday night to stretch their margin to 10 games over the runner-up Newark Bears who are only 6; games ahead of the sev- enth-place Jersey City Giants. Al Zachary ant O'rean-a '- bielan handcuffed the hapless Or- ioles on two and three ni.s . tively. The Bears nosed out Toronto Maple Leafs 6-5, with Lou Novikoff 'belting a homer in the seventh inning off Oscar Judd to break a 5-5 tie. Puddinghead Jones and Judd each whacked a two-run homer to keep the Leafs in the game. As a result of their loss, the Leafs dropped into a fourth-place' tie with Rochester Red Wings, two games behind the third-place Syra- cuse Chiefs: and only two games ahead of the sixth-place Buffalo Bisons. The Wings divided a double- header with Jersey City, winning the opener 16-4 but losing the sec- ond tilt 5-2. A 10-run sixth inning uprising enabled Al Papai to coast to his second victory in the first game. Andy Tomasic limited the Wings to six safeties in outpitching Max Surkont in the second gamie. Syracuse and Buffalo also divided a twin bill, the Chiefs winning the opener 5-1 and the Bisons the second tilt 7-2, TIGERS SCORE UPSET Hamilton, Aug, 7 -- (CP)--Ham- ilton Tigers scored an upset 8-4 victory over the league-leading Owen Sound Crescents in a Senior Lacrosse Association game here Friday night. Both sides played tight defensive lacrosse. Doug Davidson, Red McDonald and Joe Cheevers were Hamilton's high scorers with two goals each, McKenzie and Reddy scoring the others, Smith, Kazarian, Burling- ton and Johnson scored for Owen Sound. Big League Baseball | Yestoruay Associated Press Sports Writer Bobby Feller, Cleveland Indians' "Mr, X," continues as much a puz- zle as ever to. baseball fans. Although he pitched the tribe to an important victory over New York Yankees last night to give the pace-setting Indians a hau- game advantage in .the American League over Philadelphia Athletics, the famous pitcher clearly demon- 'strated that he was not the great feller of former days. President Bill Veeck and the 71.- 268 fans who watched the Indians defeat the Yankees 9-7, were not as happy as they might have been. Outside of the fact that Feller, for the sixth straight time, failed to go the distance, everything broke wonderfully for the Indians, They gained a full game over each of the three chief contenders as tne Athletics were beaten by the Browns in St. Louis, 2-1 and Bos- ton Red Sox were nipped by the White Sox in Chicago, 4-3. Cleveland not only ended the Yankees' five-game winning streak, but extended their own to six in a row. Feller went 7 1-3 innings to gain his first triumph over the Yankees this season. They had trounced him four times. Feller, famous for his strike-out feats, fanned only one, walked five and allowed 10 hits before he was yanked in the eighth when the Yankees scored four times in a be- lated attack. It was his 11th victory of the campaign, and it probadly was his cheapest. He has lost 12, His last route-going performance was July 11. The Indians played minus the services of Lou Boudreau, their ace shortstop-manager who suffered a shoulder injury in Thursday's game with Washington Senators. Johnny Berardino filled in at short, col- lected a pair of singles and naa- dled four chances in errorless fashion. St. Louis Cardinals, Brooklyn Dodgers and New York Giants each gained ground as the National Lea- gue-leading Boston Braves dropped their fifth game in their last six starts, losing 5-4 to the cellar-dwell- ing Chicago Cubs. The second- place Dodgers defeated Cincinnati Reds 4-1, the Cards topped Phila- delphia Phils 6-2 and the Giants nipped Pittsburgh Pirates 7-8. In the American League, you Ted Gray, making his first big- league start, pitched Detroit Tigers to a 1-0 10-inning victory over Wai- ter Masterson and the Senators. Masterson walked Hoot Evers with two out and the bases full to force over the game's only run in the Jast of the 10th. Lefty Bill Kennedy gained the decision for the Browns over Plul Marchildon of Penetanguishene, Ont., and the A's. Despité the lnss, the A's held second place over the vankees by 4-10 of a percentage point. : i Pat Seerey hammered his 15th home run of the season with two men on base in the seventh inning to give the White Sox their one- run victory over the Red Sox. The defeat left the Bosox in fourth place, half a game behind the third-place Yankees and 1% lengths off the pace. ; . Brooklyn advanced to within 3% games of the Braves when young Rex Barney shacked the Reds with three singles. Jackie Robinson, with his sixth home run, and a long fly, drove in three runs for the victors, The deafet spoiled Bucky Walters' managerial debut. Walters had supplanted Johnny Neun as Red manager a couple of hours before the game. The Cardinals also moved up te within 3% games of the top as Howie Pollet /outpitched Duich Leonard for his eighth victory. DODGERS-ROYALS DEAL Brooklyn, Aug. 7--(AP)--Brook- lyn Dodgers today recalled Edwin (Duke) Snider, hard hitting young outfielder, from Montreal Royals, their International League farm.

By WILFRED GRUSON Toronto, Aug. 7--(CP) -- Their press clippings may help, but from now on American football players are going to have to show more than that before drawing pay cheques from Canadian football clubs. Bitter experience by some teams has made coaches and executives | wary of signing American imports to fat salaries just on the basis of their clippings or on the recom- ! mendation of someone who saw them once or twice on their good days. Last season, in particular, sever- al Americans turned out to be big busts in the Canadian game and the clubs which unfortunately had to honor their contracts with them took a financial beating. Ottawa Rough Riders intend to start their Big Four season with a full complement of five imports and all but three of the seven are being brought to Ottawa on a trial basis. This trio, according te Bill (Ot- tawa Journal) Westwick, are: Howie (Touchglown) Turner, im- port star with Rough: Riders last season; Bob Paffrath, who .with Toronto Indians won the Ontario Rugby Football Union's most valu- able player award in his first year in Canadian football last seson; and Eddie Michaels, former team- mate of coach Wally Masters on the Professional Wilmington Clip- pers. Fashion Note | The Canadian athletes at the Olympic games haven't made any- one sit up and take notice with their performances so far. But in another department the gals from the Dominion have made an im- pression. As relayed by Bobbie (Toronto Globe and Mail) Rosenfeld, a Uni- ted States sports writer, the New | York Journal's Vincent X. Flaher- ty, had this to say about the Can- adian gals: "The best-dressed outfit I have seen at the Olympic games comes from Canada. Unlike the harshly masculine millinery imposed on the American girls, the Canadian girls touch off their uniforms with smart, tam-like hats which they slant down over one eyebrow. As far as I'm concerned they are the dimpled darlings of the show." Atlanta, Aug. 7--(AP)--Ever since | a bunch of Scots late in the 14th century 'began hacking at a ball with a stick and calling their game "golfe" the sport has been aimed for the common man. But il took centuries for the little fellow to get his chance, On the long road from the some- bodies to thie anybodies the big his- toric date in the United States was 1922 and the place was Ottawa Park in Toledo, Ohio. That was the date and the locale of the first national public links golf tournament, least known of the nationals but probably the most important to golfdom's future. But golf equipment manufacturers saw their chance to increase sales and cheaper clubs and balls ap- peared. Several cities had the nerve to finance municipal courses with green fees ranging from 25 cents to $2 and $3. The few working men who played an occasional round solved the uniform problem themselves. They could not afford knickers and stockings so they wore long pants to the horror of the club goliers. As the price of golf came down the number of golfers and golf courses went up. The industry turned much of its attention to this group. In 1922 the | United States Golf Association also bent its head downward to the municipal player and the national public links tournament was begun although some U. 8. G. A, officials crossed their fingers and prayed. The meet in 1922 was considered a surprisingly big success, with 140 entries and in 1948 the public links | broke all records with an entry list of 3,586, { Gazette--It will get good results. . COR.

Six yards ahead was the Nether- lands' quartet. Wins Her 3rd Medal Mrs. Blankers-Koen, 30-year-old mother of two children and oldest woman competitor in the 14th Olympics, raced to victory in the 200 metres, a new event for her sex. That championship adds to the 100-metre dash and 80-metre hur- dles titles she won earlier in the games. Nearest approach to her three- win record in the past was by American Babe Didrikson, who won two firsts and a second at Los An- geles in 1932. The Netherlands flash was timed today in 24.4 seconds, which stands as an Olympic record for the new event. Beautiful Mrs. Vicki Manalo Draves from Pasadena, Calif, won the high-platform diving cham- plonship to set a record of her own. No other woman has ever won both the Olympic springboard and high- diving titles.

Y The cat incident occurred at Ale exandra Park in North London, familiarly known to racegoers as "Ally Pally." Generations of fans have learned to expect the unexe pected at Ally Pally, famed for its "frying pan" course and the work- ing-class families who make up picnic parties along the rails. As the field swung down the straight in the London Cup, a mile and-five-furlong event, a tiny black cat streaked on the course and was bowled over y the leading horse, Avignon. Cat and horses survived the tangle and Avignon went on to win by two lengths from Eastern Lyric, with River Patrol third. The same day, at Pontefract Park, Yorkshire, a'dog darted und- er the rails and into the hooves of Sunhaven and Snip. In the meles the dog was knocked over and two horses, Trigaro and Brenner Pass, fell. Two jockeys were taken to hospital as the judges placed Snip first and Sunhaven second in the event, the Lake Juvenile Plate, Two boxing managers sat in five- guinea ($21) seats watching their respective heavyweiglits maul each other in the ring.
