PAGE TWELVE THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE \ TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 948 BY Geo. H. Campbell PORT OD NAPSHOTS Oshawa Senior "B" lacrossers ran into another playoff snag last night, right on their home floor, when the Huntsville boys once again came up with a "hot game" to defeat the locals 11-6. As in the first game of this current three-out-of-five series, the "Hunters" were flying on all sides and their brilliant passing and receiving while running at top speed, even on fast passes when only a few feet apart, was a treat to watch. They out-hustled the Oshawa team once again and the locals showed clearly that they are not very effective when being hurried--and they made the big mistake of trying to match strides with the Huntsville speedsters when they did get the ball, instead of "steadying up" and organizing careful attacks. Lack of a "floor general" on the Oshawa team stood out last night like a sore thumb. They passed too soon or held the play up too long, every move they made seemed to be just a little off in timing, while Bucko McDonald's charges, on the other hand, were having another hot night. They couldn't seem to do much wrong--and they certainly hustled for the full 60 minutes. In addition, Tunney in goal for Huntsville, had another big night--stopping a half- dozen at least that he didn't even see. + LJ] +* Oshawa goes back to Huntsville for the fourth game of the series on Thursday night and they'll have to win that one, in order to stay in the running. They can do it, but they'll have to change their tactics. They can not run with the speedy Huntsville team and hold the pace for four periods. Penalties didn't aid the Oshawa cause last night either. Hilson got himself a few penalties, even started to object too strenuously with the official at one stage, but that worthy took a tolerant view of the hot-headed pushing. Up in Orillia, the Peterboro lacrosse team came home on the short end of a 22-14 score, which ties up that series. Meanwhile, the local lacrosse club men are thinking about taking their fifth game to the Whitby Arena, if the team is successful in winning up at Huntsville on Thursday night. a * * The Oshawa Minor Softball Association playoffs got going last night with three sudden-death game eliminations and tonight, eight teams in each group, the Kiwanis Bantam League and the B'Nai B'Rith Midget League, will commence their quarter-finals, two-out-of-three - games. Westmount eliminated Holy Trinity last night at Storie Park in their bantam sudden-death tilt to settle eighth place, with Holy Trinity taking a 5-0 lead in the first frame and then losing 14-7. In the two midget sudden-death games, Cedar Dale ousted Bathe Park, in their game at Sunnyside while on the Cowan's Park diamond, Park Road Chiefs pushed Sunnyside Park into the discard. This clears the way for the survivors to get going tonight, with the second games of the various rounds on Thursday night. * * + Oshawa GM-Colts blanked Kingston's CIL "Nylons" 10-0 last night at Alexandra Park in their OASA Senior "B" playoff game. It was the first game of the Eastern Ontario zone championship series and the Limestone City "Nylons" might have pleased the girls but they didn't do much from a scoring standpoint -- they didn't show a run all night. With "Preem" Whiteley striking out 13 batters and allowing only four scattered singles, the Kingston team failed to really threaten at any time, despite the half-dozen free tickets Whiteley issued, Kingston Nylons never got a runner to third base. On the other hand, the Colts opened with a four-run rally all scored after there were two men out in the first inning, on two solid hits and three walks, plus a couple of passed balls. They added to their total in the third and fourth frames to establish a comfortable lead and then coasted home on Whiteley"s steady pitching. Simpson proved no mystery to the Oshawa batters, getting only one strikeout, but he was clipped for only nine hits, eight of them singles. Colts go back to Kingston on Friday for the return game of the series, when they hope to clean up the Eastern Ontario championship in two-straight games. LJ + * Gord Creamer; who back about a dozen years ago, was rated as one of Oshawa's top softball stars, also a five-pin bowler of top-ranking variety, and who along with this "Joe," guided Oshawa "British Consols" to the Ontario finals for two years in succession in ladies' softball com- petition, is back in Oshawa for a visit and a little business, from Indian Head, Sask, This summer Gord umpired in the famous Western Canada softball tournament, a $3,000 prize affair, held at Indian Head * and he reports that a lot of fast softball and baseball is played out that way, by the Bentley brothers, etc. * + + Bill Brownlee and Sam MacMillan, two of the veteran members of the Oshawa Lawn Bowling Club, participating in the annual Loblaw doubles tournament in Toronto last week, won high honors for the greens at which they competed and finished fifth in the high-win prize list. * LJ] LJ . Nipped noses, nipped ears and other types of cold signs are on the way. The ice is going into the Oshawa Arena. this Saturday, weathér permitting, and the local hockey school will be underway. "Tis the hope of the Generals executive that this will indicate a big year for the local Junior "A" puck hounds. News out of other "A" towns and cities is still sparse due to later startings, but the news of this calibre is gradually taking over a goodly share of space. Biggest news was the Danny Lewicki deal and who will obtain the 17-year-old Fort William winger. Word out of Stratford has it, that he being connected with the Leaf chain will probably end up with the Generals or 8t. Mike's, Marlies or perhaps the Kroehlers. Then again he may move into the senior ranks. He looked good enough to do so. Galt reports that about 80 hopefuls will be turning out with their school, while similar news comes from Guelph, The Biltmores are building on the remains of last year's contender, adding Sheldon Bloomer from Winnipeg and Don Oberholtz from last season's St. Mike's club, acmntf TT a * Word out of Windsor is very sparse but it can be depended upon that they will ice a tough, rough, big team as they did last year, thanks to the support of the Detroit Red Wings. Stratford seems to be the best place for getting dope but again, this could be just a smudge to keep all the player-jumping activity in the hush-hush department. The Kroehlers have a good nucleiis of last season's club to build on and will no doubt do just that. They say they have picked up juniors from all over the province, along with some juve- niles who look promising, Names like Candler, McMinn, Hurley, Campbell, Beda, Mitchell, Cadieux and Armstrong are the ones bandied about as the nucleus, while Pernfuss and French from the Dukes and Markle from Owen Sound are new additions of note. Barrie, last season's OHA and Eastern winners have been as quiet as the Windsorites, though word of quite a few of last year's club working over the summer in Barrie leads one to think that they will be a strong club again this year. As for the locals, Yes, we have Some replacements, and yes, we have some boys from last year, but after the hockey school, things will be more definite. j + * kA SPORTS SHORTS--Ben Fallman has called forth the old track and field fervor of old and will lead his Shamrock A.C. gang onto the oval at Alexandra Park this coming September 25 in the Shamrock's annual DeNU Change Of Bus Schedule ! OSHAWA PORT PERRY EFFECTIVE TOMORROW Wednesday, September 15th For Information Telephone Oshawa 2825 or Port Perry y 251 i The best ladies' singles match ever seen here was a favorite comment at the O.T.C. last Su" 'ay afternoon, The two women finalists were Mrs. Lyn Paul, who recently arrived with ker husband from England where she was a favorite tennis star, and Mrs. Jean Ross, a ppe- member of the local club, These two ladies battled out a well-fouglit match. The deciding factor in the game was Lyn Paul's brand of under-hand back-hand which proved too strong for the more defensive back-hand of Jean Ross. th players deserve a lot of cre- dit for the great show that thrilled the crowd on Sunday. The final Score in Mrs, Paul's favour: 6-2, 3-6, 6-1. Men's Singles Finals For the second year in succession, Jack Langmaid, young tennis star of the O.T.C., captured the men's singles cup by edging out Cec. Dod- well 3 sets out of 5. Dodwell led the match in the 5th set 4-1 when he suffered a cramp in his right leg, but went on gamely in spite of it to force a temporary draw of 7-1. At ths point, darknss prevented fur- ther play. The 5t( set was re-played on.Sat- urday when steady play was featur- ed with each man straining to put more good balls back than his op- ponent, Dodwell had Langmaid 5-4 and 30-15 in the next game, but lost that game to tie the score. The final tally gave Langmaid 9-5 and the men's singles trophy. A fine show from two great sportsmen, Final scores in Langmaid's favor: 6-2, 4-6, 2-6, 6-0, 16-14 Favorites Deliver Goods The results of Saturday's match for the mixed doubles' crown illus- trate quite definitely what happens when a strong orthodox mixed dou- bles team like Cec. Dodwell and Mrs. Lyn Paul, meet a strong, but unor- thcdox duet of players. But Russ and Dot Learmonth played good tennis. especially Dot, who was continually being forced all through the match. Mrs. Paul at the net put hard drives to Mrs. Learmoutti at the cee line which usually caught the latter off guard. This factor was de- cisive in giving the victory to the favorites. Pinal scores for Cec, Dod- wel] and Lyn Paul: 6-4, 6-4. 1948 CLUB CHAMPIONS DECLARED AT OSHAWA TENNIS CLUB Doug. Harding Consolation Champ Doug, Harding out-blasted Merv Parkins Sunday afternoon to win the men's consolation singles cup. Both player: ed a great game, but Harding had a little "more on the ball" than his opponent, Perkins made a good recovery af- ter the first set to take the 2nd and broke Harding's 4-1 lead in the 3rd to tie the score 4-4. The latter al- most lost the next game too, but rallied in time to force a win of 6-4, Fisal scores for Harding: 6-4, 4-6, GM-COLTS BLANK VISITORS FIRST GAME No Runs In Kingston Nylons As Homesters Score Shutout-_ In Opening Game Zone Finals "Preem" Whiteley Fans 13 Batters and Allows Limestone City Team Only 4 Scattered Sing- les in 10-0 Whitewash -- Colts Have Comfort- able Time at Plate and Win Listless Contest in Easy Fashion Oshawa GM-Colts. drew first blood in their opening game of 'the O.A.S.A. Senior "B" playoff round with the Kingston C.IL. "Nylons", r the Eastern Ontario zone cham- pionship, when they took a com- fortable 10-0 decision here last night. Lacking power at the plate and showing only flashes of top-flight fielding ability, the Limestone City squad failed to extend the Oshawa squad, who opened the game with a 4-run rally in the first frame and coasted along to their shutout vice tory with an errorless display of defensive fielding, behind "Preem" Whiteley's neat pitching perform- ance. Whiteley Whiffs Thirteen Whiteley fanned "a baker's doz- en" of the visiting batters and while he was inclined to be wild throughout, issuing a half dozen free tickets, he was actually never in serious trouble, in fact the Ny- nols failed to get a runner to 3rd base. Mathews singled in the 2nd with two out and Guthrie walked but Simpson fanned. McConnell singl- ed in the 3rd and was out trying to stretch it into a two-bagger. In the 6th, Thomson opened with a walk but Hawkey popped up to "Hump" Price, on a bunt at- tempt and Wilkinson fanned, then Hartman singled but Thomson was held at 2nd and Mathews fanned. Two walks in the 7th found King- ston in scoring position but Barnes hauled in Thomson's bid, to end that frame, Whiteley pitched to only six batters in the last two in- nings, whiffing three of them, in- cluding the last two. McConnell, with a single and two walks in four times to face White- ley, had the most success for King- ston, with Hartman, Mathews and Guthrie dividing their other three safe hits, Bob Gray hit the ball hard but was caught out four times. He proved the fielding star of the Kingston club, with his fine performance at 2nd base, while Hawkey also turned in a neat chore at the initial sack. Took Big Lead Early GM-Colts opened with four runs. Stark grounded out but Price walk- ed, only to be forced by Jubenville, Then with two out, the homesters went to work. Barker singled to Pu L 4 centre, which allowed Jubenville to score from 2nd, which he had reached on an error throw in the double-play attempt previous. Bid- good's single put Barker on 3rd and Bidgood stole 2pd. Then Simpson hit' a wild streak, walking White- ley, Barnes and Taylor in succes- sion. His second walk forced Bar- ker across the plate and Bidgood and Whitley both advanced and came home-on successive passed balls, to make it 4-0. In the third, Barker was safe on an error and moved to 3rd on Bid- good's second hit. Whiteley grount- ed and Barker was caught trying to score. Barnes then singled, scor- ing Bidgood and putting Whiteley on 3rd, from where he came home FuenyTevior flied out to deep cen- re, Three more runs in the 4th tum- ed the game into a walk-away. Stark walked to open the inning but was forced by Price. Juben- ville walked, then Barker singled, scoring both runners and went to 3rd as the ball was juggled in centre. Bidgood flied out, letting Barker score after the catch. Oshawa's final run came in the 6th when Jubenville singled. He moved to 2nd as the ball was juggl- ed in lift, sprinted to 3rd when the throw-in was bobbled. He was safe on his slide and when the King- ston infield got careless, Juben- ville then tore home and was safe when he . collided with Guthrie, who dropped the ball. ; Two sparkling catches by Grey prevented Oshawa. from scoring af- ter Whiteley had singled to open the 7th. Colts didn't have much to do in the field but played without error. : Jubenville Injured "Red"Jubenville was painfully in- jured in the 3rd inning when Mc- Connell slid into second, as Juben- ville was holding the ball low.

Park Road Chiefs scored steadily against Twining's pitching, 'getting runs in every one of the six frames played. They opened with a couple, added two more in the second, an- other in the 3rd and one in the 4th; they got two in the 5th and the same in the last of the 6th, with the game being called due to dark- ness, before the side had been re- tired, Thompson, Snow, Bryan and Willes were the big hitters for the winners while Rogers, Twining, Gagnon and Wallis were the big hitters for Sunnyside Park Midgets, who made a gallant attempt to avoid elimination but just weren't good enough. Snow pitched good ball for the Chiefs although he was hit hard ia the 4th inning and again in toe 6th, when Sunnyside staged their best rallies, SUNNYSIDE PARK---Rogers, 2; Twinfhg, p; Sandercock, 1b; Gan- gemi, 2b; Gagnon, ss; Milne, 3b; Wallis, cf; L.

Cedar Dale opened with a 3-run rally when Marshall walked and Gallas hit a homer. Then Boneham homered with one out, to make it 3-0. Bathe Park came back witha 4.run splurge in their second in- ning to take the lead, es Boneham hit - a wild streak and walked a couple of batters, while Wallis hi' a homer to start off the rally inthe first place. 5 Cedar Dale came right back with another parade, this time netting five runs with Boneham getting an- other homer to feature this rally. Boneham pitched the full game for his team but Bathe Park used three pitchers, Brown, Walker and Mc- Tavish in their desperate bid to win the game. Cedar Dale added four in the 3rd, after Bathe Park had scored only one and from that point on, were never behind. Bathe Park kept plugging away and got three runs in the 4th and a couple in the fifth, to make it 12+10 but the Dale boys got one in their fifth, In the 6th, Bathe Park missed entirely and Ce- dar Dale scored four in their half of the 6th, to make it 17-10.

President D. E. Kennedy, Secretary E. McMurtry and representatives from Guelph, 'Hamilton and Galt Curling Clubs will be in attendance, The first Ontario schoolboys bon- spiel was held here last April 1-2 when an Orillia rink took top hon- ors. It was felt then that the O.C.A. would adopt the 'spiel as a yearly event. However, the success of the first bonspiel caused O.C.A. officials to prevail upon the Guelph Club to continue it every year. Now it is considered likely that the Guelph Curling Club, with assistance from Galt, will sponsor the 'spiel jointly with the final being played in Guelph. Local officials anticipate a much greater entry list for the second schoolboys' spiel. Thirty-two rinks participated last April but it is ex- pected 125 will file entry forms next time. Northern ' Ontario, which passed up the event before, will tend rinks for the next All-Ontario broom festival. Delegates to the meeting here later this month will have to de- cide on dates for the bonspiel. Some clubs favor holding it during the Christmas holidays to avoid in- terfering with studies. The Ontario Department of Education is expect- ed to provide assistance in selecting dates. Late February is considered the logical time by the local club. | Hydro Cut May Halt Nightime Sport Activity Toronto, Sept. 14--(CP) The new Hydro restrictions on playing field lighting won't halt football in Hamilton, Sam Manson, manager of Wild- cats of the Big Four, said Monday night that the ruling, calling for maximum 60-watt lighting for each 100 square feet of playing area, wouldn't affect games. The Wild- cat-Montreal Alouette game sched- uled for Wednesday will go on. ~ "We checked the area and light- ing quota and we're okay," said Manson. "We're lightly lighted . . .

Ezzard Charles Gets Close Win Over Jim Bivins By ARTHUR EDSON Washington, Eept. 14--(AP)-- There's a growing suspicion that the boxer who succeeds Joe Louis 8s the heavyweight champion of the world isn't going to be another Louis, Ezzard Charles, a' light heavy who likes to mix with the big boys, heightened that suspicion Monday night. True, the Cincinnati boy won a unanimous, 'though close, decision Over Jimmy Biving of Cleveland. True, too, it was a good perform-' ance, with lots of good boxing and a whirlwind ending that brought the crowd of 11,631 to its feet. But this fact was inescapable: Both the Ohio negroes landed blows that, had they been tossed by Joe Louis in his prime, would have ended the fight. But neither was knocked down--and neither was hurt, Yet the heavyweight situation is such that Charles' manager, Jake Mintz, was hollering after the fight: "Charles is the next world cham= pion. Bring on whoever you got." The clue to this statement are the words: "Whoever you got." Look over the heavyweight crop, and youll see the point: Lots of good boys, but no Joe Louis in sight, so far. Certainly Charles looked as if he has a long way to go before he can be an impressive heavyweight champion, In the first place, he isn't big. He weighed 176, 2% less than Biv=- ins. But he said even this weight bothered him. "I feel strong at this weight," he said. "But I got no fire, no pep." Pete Lacrossars Lose To Orillia To Even Series Orillia, Sept. 14 -- Orillia OLA Senior "B" lacrosse team evaded its semi-final playoff series with Pet- erborough here last night when it scored a 20-14 victory in a fast, well-played game. Peterborough had won the first game in Peter- borough. The third game of a best- of-five game series will be played in Peterborough on Friday night, Peterborough took a 5-2 lead in the first period, but Orillia fought back to tie the score at 8-8 by half- time. The Orillians went out in front in the third period by a 15-13 margin. Goalkeeper Eric Fagain of Orillia almost chalked up a shut- out in the final 15 minutes, hut Peterborough scored with less than two minutes remaining, while Oril- lia counted five times. For the winners, J. J. Hill. Bun Antonio, Clarence Payne, Varley and Doug Massey were stars. Jack Foote scored six of the Peterbor- ough goals and Arnold Dugan and Terry Gordon were the other lead~ ing scorers.
