TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 948 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE THIRTEEN HUNTSVILLE WINS AGAIN ON LOCAL FLOOR TO LEAD SEMI ir0.A.S.A. Committee eedy "Hunters" Display More ustle In Loose-Ball Scrambles Earn 11-6 Win Over Homesters Huntsville's Smooth ' Passing on Fast At- tacks Proves Too Much for Oshawa Gutted- Stick Squad -- Penal- ties Earned for "Chip- py" Play and Heavy Checking * Disrupt Homesters' Play -- Poor Shooting and Good Goaling Keeps Oshawa's Total Down By BOB RIFE What has happened to the Oshawa Lacrosse club? This question was sneeringly applied with full force last night by many rooters from Huntsville, when their club trounc- ed the locals by the unseemly score of 11-6 at the Oshawa Arena. The win gives the Huntsville club a strangle-hold on the best-of. five play-off, with the fourth and what could be the deciding game being played back on their home grounds. Oshawa will have . no more home games this season since the ice-makers take over.this week. The game was strictly a Hunts- villé win from start to finish, the locals never at any time showing the snap and power they used against Peterborough here a few weeks back to defeat them. Gordon led the attack on the man-in-the-cage for the Hunts- ville Busmen in the first quarter, and pounded home the first goal, a neat backhand. Hilson got the 'first of a very long string of penalties and was off when Bond and Gordon com- bined for the second Huntsville goal. When the teams were at even rength again, the clubs battered ® at each other with the locals g a man.to-man defence not too effectively - against their lighter faster opponents. Jennings and Bond combined for the third goal for the visitors and the referee shoved Hilson into the penalty box again. This play ended the quarter at 3.0 for the out-of-towners. Gordon Leads Way Gordon got the Busmen off on the right foot in the opening min- utes of the second frame when he side-armed the ball past Cham- bers, The:Oshawa club then broke their scoring goose-egg when Bud Christie clicked for a goal. Roy Bastien got the next one and the Oshawa club looked as if they had finally got underway. Chambrian and Payne took that all back minutes later when they made the score 6-2 in the Bus. men's favor. Krapek notched an- other, but Bastien scored his sec- ond of the night to make it 7-3 heading for the late minutes of the first half. Jennings scored when he stole the ball from a strictly "other guy" Al Haney. That made it 8-3 at the hall. The third and fourth stanzas were punctuated by slight tiffs and some good lusty brawls. The tiffs International League Action By The Associated Press Judging by their performance in the regular season, Montreal Royals and Newark Bears will meet in the final round of the International League's Shaughnessy playoffs. The semi-final round of the play- offs begins tonight with the Royals entertaining Rochester Red Wings and the Bears playing host to Syra- use Chiefs, defending playoff champions. During the regular season, the Royals, who walked away with the pennant, won 13 games and lost nine to the fourth-place Wings while the Bears beat the third place Chiefs 13 times in 21 meet- ings. Don (no-hit) Newcombe (17-6) has drawn the starting assignment for the Royals and Lefty Johnny Mikan (9-9) for the Wings. The Bears will send righthander Clarence Marshall (9-6) against the Chiefs, Either Ed Erautt (15-7) or Lefty Frank Fanovich (9-13) will work for the Chiefs. Erautt has won 12 games and lost only two since June 24. Both series are best-four-of-seven sets. The two winners will then clash in another best-four-of-seven series with the final victor meet- ing the American Association's play- off champion in the Little World Series. were the ones in which the "Refs" handed out plenty of penalties, but in the brawl Hilson managed to draw the ofly sentence, and that a minor. Even--Steven Sanders and Bush each hit the twine in the early part of the third peried for a count of 8-5, but this was only evened-up by the work of Payne and Krapek in the latter half of the "go", for a score of 10-5 going into the last quarter. Only two godls' were scored in the last frame, one for each side. Payne got the Huntsville counter, and Al Haney, "sans helmet" came through with one for the locals. Penalties painted, the picture in that quarter though, with nine be. ing handed out. Four were of the double, or nuisance type. One of these included the visitors' goalie who traded punches with Tom Mur- hy. i But when all this had been taken out of their system, the score was still the same, and the locals were still on the short end of an 11-6 count to drop behind in the ser- ies, OSHAWA--Goal, Chambers; de- fence, Grice, Murphy; centre, De- Pippo; rover, Christie; homes, Bush, G.

It takes only a little ex- rience in properly pointing your chin to afford you most of the answers about it, to give you a good understanding of it.

Even when you try to keep your chin pointed there is a strong ten- dency to let it turn with your shoulders, but this can be overcome simply by making the effort to turn the chin in the opposite direction. This will keep your head in position so that your chin remains pointing into the lens. Practice the turn in both directions. FINALS Big League Baseball Yesterday By RALPH RODEN Associated Press Sports Writer Tae historic polo grounds is fast gaining a reputation as the grave- yard of National League pennant hopes. Burt Shotton brought his Brooks lyn Dodgers into New York Giants' lair over the week-end for a four- game series and left with only one victory.

Monday night's triumph boosted the Giants into a fourth-place tie wich the idle St, Louis Cardinals, 5'a games behind the Braves, The Gi- ants and Cards are only .0005 per- centage points behind the third- place Dodgers, who also trail the Braves by 5'a games. Lefty Monte Kennedy, who has lost some tough games for the Giants, stopped the Pirates' surge Monday night. He scattered nine hits in picking up his third triumph Brooklyn wrested third place from the Cards by dumping Chicago Cubs 6-4 in a night game at Brooklyn. A four-run seventh-inning rally enab- led the Dodgers to overcome a 3-2 deficit and win. Red Barney, who hurled a 2-0 nohit triumph over the Giants last Thursday, went the dis tance for Brooklyn to gain his 14th victory, He has lost 10. Only one game was played in the American League, St. Louis Browns upsetting the third-place Indians 3-2 at Cleveland. Pinch-hitter Joe Schults singled in the ninth with the bases full to enable the Browns to break a 2-2 tie and win. The loss left the tribe three full games behind the first-place Boston Red Sox. The Indians also lost the services of pitcher Don Black for the rest of the season. Black is in critical condition in a Cleveland hospital with a hemorrhage near the brain. Black apparently twisted his neck when he hit a foul ball in the se- cond inning. He fell at the plate in pain, was helped from the field and later lost consciousness.

Britt Not "'Over-Aged" By MICHAEL O'MARA Canadian Press Staff Writer Doncaster, Yorkshire, England, Sept. 14--(CP)--The most thor- oughly vindicated sportsman in England today who has emerged from under a cloud to become the toast of the turf world is Jockey Edgar Britt. Still ringing in his ears are 'the thunderous cheers of 250,000 fans who saw him ride Black Tarquin owned by William Woodward of New York to capture Saturday's St. Leger, worth more than £18,000 ($72,0009LThe richest 'event ever contested on the British turf. Win- ning the St. Leger Stakes is no new thrill for Britt. He won, it last year on Sayajirao. ) Britt, Australian born, had been prominent on Indian race racks before the war. He hooked up with Maharaja of Baroda's stable there and came to England as the poten- tate's aide-de-camp and personal favorite in 1945. When the war end- ed and the Maharaja moved onto the British turf in a big way, Edgar stayed around as his first-string jockey. It came as a shock to turfmen when it was announced that Baroda was not renewing his contract with Britt for 1948 and had instead re- '| tained veteran Charlie Smirke as No. 1 rider. The most common story was that chunky Edgar, now past 30, was finding it increasingly difficult to make the racing weight and conse- quent attempts to trim off pound- age were weakening his riding ability. When the new season opened, there didn't seem much to justify this view. Britt, now free-lancing, began piling up winners as in the past. The St. Leger victory was his 108th of the year leaving him sec- ond in the jockey's table behind champion Gordon Richards with 166. Smirke currently is fourth with 86 victories to his credit. As he did on Sayajirao last year, he made his move at just the right moment, surging out to mail the lead a furlong or so from the fin- Bh | line and then hold onto the ead The effort had to be perfectly BRANTFORD SOX WIN I. C. TITLE Brantford Red Sox won the In- tercounty Baseball Association Sen- ior B playoffs Monday night at Galt, defeating Galt Terriers 5-4 in a 10-inning game. The contest was the seventh of the best-of-seven series. Only other two final or semi-final games played Monday were in Nor- thern Ontario. At Timmins, McIntyre Macmén blanked Porcupine Combines 3-0 to Square their best-of-five Temiska- ming Baseball League playoffs at two gaimes apiece. The fifth and deciding game is slated for Wed- nesday. Frood "Tigers' defeated * 'Coniston Buzzers 8-5 in the first game of their best-of-seven series for the Nickel Belt Senior Baseball League championship at Sudbury. Second game of the series is to be played Wednesday night. Abie Scott was the hero of Brant- ford's conquest, winning the game in the overtime inning with a siz- zling line drive inside third base, to score Bill Johnson. Terriers fum- bled their chance to break the tie in their half of the 10th. With a man on third and first and only one batter out, Clark failed to get the signal for a squeeze play and Yor- ston was an easy out. Angelo Torti, in right field for the winners, starred with six put- outs. In the ninth, he backed up to the fence to make a one-handed catch, Macmen's Matt Mesich shut out Combines nn seven hits, while his team-mates nicked the losers' Alex Kosick for 10 hits. Buzzers, fourth place finishers in regular league competition, took the pennant-winning Tigers for three runs in the first inning. At the close of the fourth, they*led Frood 5-2. Frood tied. the count in the fifth, broke the tie with a run in the sixth batted the game-clinchers in the eighth. timed for Black Tarquin was con- sidered a horse of doubtful staying ability and Lord Derby's second- place Alycidon, which had made an early running, appeared to be clos- ing ground. again as Britt sailed under the wire with a length-and- a-half margin. Spicy Bits From Other Sports Cols. By ALAN RANDAL Canadian Press Staff Writer Montreal, Sept.. 13--(CP)--In an au.umn sporiing way the public leeling is a trifle better in Montreal since the week-end. The reasons: Montreal Royals have ousted Toronto Maple Leafs frcm the playoffs of the Interna- tional baseball league and the foot- balling Alouettes have at last won a game. To deal first with Alouettes' 11-8 Saturday win over Ottawa Rough- riders, Baz (Montrea] Star) O'Meara says 'coach Lew Hayman of the Als i "no longer inccmmunicado in the quandary room of the Alouette tow- ers." Baz adds: "His mail is thinner to- day, so is ours. Nchody is telling him how to run his team, what men to discard, what ones to retain. It is nice to get ow jn the sunlight again and from here on his Als should be very much in tie race to the wire." Another suggestion from the Star's man of sport is that because of the Als upsetting Ottawa the ocust-Jim McCaffrey-faction in Ot- tawa will be forming lines again, So far as attendance goes, Mon- treal Royals drew 477,644 durihg the regular seasen «ili: is good, but Baz doesn't consider this marks "our town" out yet as a major base- ball league town, "At that," he says, "the attend- ance might increase with the great- Meeting Concurs In Suspensions Hamilton, Sept. 14--(CP)--At the Sunday meeting of the O.A.S.A.
