TEN IN-AR-ROW! Transporters Wrest Win. From Cobourg Legionnaires By BOB RIFE COBOURG -- Oshawa McCallum Transporters grabbed off their 10th win in-a-row without a defeat last night with a 7-2 victory over Co- bourg Legionnaires. vid The game went six innings be- fore being called on account of darkness. Jack Durston southpawed his way to his third win of the young season and looked extremely sharp at times. He fanned 11 enemy bat- ters and didn't give up a walk. His only trouble came in the fourth inning when with one out, Chub Mclvor singled to centre. Bill Barkhouse popped up to the shortstop, but Lloyd Huskilson doubled to deep left centre to sccre the first enemy run. COBOURG'S G Durston fired another "gopher ball" and Gerry Turpin plastered it into deep centre for another double to bring in the other Co- bourg run. Jack then fanned the third out to end the rally. The Transporters presented a patched - up club to the offerings of right - hander Lloyd Huskilson. They were without. the services of seven regulars . . . Mroczek, Mae- son, McArthur, Barnes, Etcher and Jozkoski. But none-the-less the boys who remained put the enemy to shame with some good sharp baseball where the runs counted. x Coggins reached first base in the first inning when he was hit by the pitcher. 'Brabin singled to left Kellar | to put men on first and third. Bill Cook walked to lead 'em up. Var- ga struckout, but O'Connor and Litch both got bases on balls and the score was 2-0. Durston led - off in the second with a single past secondbase. Murphy sacrificed him neatly to second. Coggins sliced a fielder's choice ball at the shortstop. His flip to secondbase was dropped and Durston continued on to third after escaping from a 'hetbox' play. Brabin went down swinging, but|d Cook got on second via a two- base error . . . an overthrow at firstbase. It scored two runs and made the count 4-0. - Another of those overthrows put Cook on -second in the fourth from which point he scored to make it, 50 on Tom O'Connor's single to left. COGGINS TRIPLES Coach "Snowball" Willson, play- ing firstbase throughout the game, walked to lead-off in the fifth. Dur- ston sacrificed him to second from where he scored on Coggins' slam- bang triple to right. The Transporters picked up an- other run in the top of the sixth when Varga walked, stole second) and then continued to third on an| overthrow at second. He scored on a wild pitch. Cobourg made a final threat in the sixth when Huskilson made second on an overthrow. A wild pitch put him on third. Turpin struckout for the second out, and came then the play that raised a real patch of rhubarb and ended the game. Huskilson took a long lead at third and was picked-off by Dur- ston. The play was called okay by the umpires, but Huskilson start- ed to yap about a balk so lustily and so long that the game was called . . . on account of dark- ness. The Transporters next home game will be played this Saturday evening at 8.00 p.m. at the Sta- ium.

Losing pitcher Lloyd Huskil- son, a reformed thirdbaseman, walked no fewer than ters jn six innings. Jack Durston had j much control lacked in racking u victory against no fanned 11 batters and walk one. 10 bat- ust as as Huskilson his third efeats. He didn't The hackle - raiser occurred a too-long lead. g Durston "4 taken hi tion on had Ss posi- the mound, but had . made no mo- tion to pitch. Huskilson went farther. Durs- ston wheeled and tossed hi third. to O'Connor at Rather than try to slide in, Huskilson, who evident] y real- ized his mistake in taking the long lead, walked back, allow- ed L'il Oke to make the tag and then raced to the plate to yap about an illegal delivery and a balk! The fans, who hated losing as much as any fans do, yelp- ed along with Lloyd, but Um- pire: Ab Barnes would have none of it. The yapping continued so long that Ab finally decided it was too dark to play ball and called the game . . . which precipitated more argument. In fact we imagine that if you stepped into a pub down in Cobourg any time the re- mainder of this week, you could still get an argument on the outcome of that one play. Another strange thing about the game was the fact that the Transporters were without seven . . (7) regulars! And they still 'won! Those players are Mroczek, Barnes, McAr- thur, Maeson, Jozkoski, Kellar and Etcher. ? Tonight in Port Hope, the Lakeshore League meets to de- cide on the Cec Hall case . . . and to place the teams in the category they feel most suit- Shle for operation in OBA play- Ss. We foresee some more yap- ping at that time. Vv CHECKLETS--We hear that the Peterboro Orfans football club are putting booster tick- ets up for sale at ten bucks each. They entitle the buyer and his wife . . . or a child to see all the home scheduled games of the Orfuns and gives him besides a chance on two Grey Cup tickets to be drawn later in the season. Its all a method of raising moneys to make the game a going proposition in the Lift- lgck City. At our last look, the Oshawa Transporters were leading the 1 . . . Lakeshore Inter- mediate baseball . . some three games over the second place Whitby Merchants. Co- bourg 'lost to Colborne the oth- er day and thus dropped back into third spot. And that same second place Whitby Merchants will supply the opposition for the Trans- porters this coming Saturday night at the Stadium. Game time is 8.00 p.m. . . . please note! Last time out the game be- tween these two ended 3-0 for our side and Lefty Don Craw- ford and Bill McTavish staged what has been called a mound duel to rank with that of Ted Stone and Doug Loucks when they went 13 innings before splitting the spoils. Some more news on the foot- ball front has the Oshawa Red Raiders included in a four- team league this coming fall. The other members are Co- bourg Ghosts, Peterboro Or- funs, and an as yet un-named Toronto club. We hear, via ace publicity man and coach Sam Shetler, that the Harmony junior girls softball club, called the Trimble Constructionettes, have won three and lost two in league play and should be Tiger Cats Line Up Strong Team HAMILTON (CP)--Coach Carl Voyles of Hamilton Tiger-Cats of the Big Four Football Union an- nounced Wednesday his tentative lineup of American imports this season. Voyles said at a press confer- ence that he has signed three quar- terbacks, five halfbacks, three ends and two linemen. . Heading the quarterbacks is Bob Celeri, who played with Dallas, Texas, last year. The Dallas fran- chise has been taken over by Balti- more Colts who have cleared him to play with the Tiger-Cats. Top man in the end department is Vitto Ragazzo, a newcomer, who established a record at William and Mary College by catching 15 touchdown passes in 10 games. He can also alternate as defensive back. The two linemen signed played with Hamilton last season. They are Vince Mazza and centre Quincy Armstrong. ' United States halfbacks signed to contracts were Bernie Custis, who wore a Tiger-Cat uniform last sea- son, and newcomers Tom Koller, Charlie Nivens, Harvey (Stud) Johnson and Royal Bailey. Mulloy Loses To Unseeded Australian LONDON (AP)--Gardnar Mulloy of Miami, Fla., first-ranking tennis player in the United States, angrily stormed off the court of the swank Queen's Club Wednesday after being beaten by an unseeded Australian in the third round of the London tennis tournament. "I should have won. I was robbed" Mulloy complained as he railed against the officiating. Mulloy, 40, was beaten 6-8, 7-5, 8-6, by Rex Hartwig, 23-year-old Australian. As soon as Hartwig gained the winning point, Mulloy threw his racquet in the direction of the one linesman on the court. Mulloy complained about a num- ber of decisions in the match, which was umpired by a woman official. Hartwig had no complaints about the officiating. "I enjoyed the ex- changes," he commented. heard from before things are are over this fall. We didn't hear from Roy Mercer, ex-manager of the Transporters at the last ball game.
