EERE RY FANE R NOR ENT Ee 24 NOW HERE'S A REAL BROWN TROUT Ron Lambert hit a homerun with a rod and reel the other day when he landed this fine German Brown Trout. It was caught locally . . . that's all he'll reveal. But it's well known that the Government has been stocking this variety around a here for some time . . . so this must be the end-product. The trout is some 3% pounds and about 21 inches 'long. It "vas caught on a grasshopper in re- latively open water under the hot hazy sun at noon. Kitchener Amateur Ousts Nick Weslock By W. R. WHEATLEY Canadian Press Staff Writer MONTREAL (CP)--Fast picking speed, interest and the bugaboo ts, the Canadian amateur x championship swings through 8-hole rounds today, and by night- fall 48 aspirants can pack up and go home. The only thing sure in the next hours of this big amateur show that there is only one possibility two of Britain's 10-man Walker up team bumping into each other til Friday. The whole team got through Tuesday's second round intact, but it was a close squeak for lanky Joe Carr, British amateur cham- pion, and Norman Drew. There were half a dozen upsets in the making all day. The most explosive 'were 'those in which Hunter of Montreal car- ried Joe to the 2lIst hole before bowing out and Bob Spence. rT player of the host club, ave the golf scare of his with a 20-foot putt that mock- hung on the lip of the cup at the 19th. The biggest upheaval came when Gordon Ball of Kitchener uncere- moniously bounced out Nick Wes- lock of Windsor, Ont. Weslock has been hammering on thé championship door for half a years. He lost in the final in 1950 to Bill Mawhinney of Van- couver. i Many thought Nick's assignment in Tuesday's second round was a cake-walk. He had already de- feated tH Kitchener chemical en- gineer five times in tournament play this season. This time the 29- | year-old Kitchener player won, and it wag his putting that did it. Weslock was two down at the turn and could never get ahead of Ball. Nick three-putted a couple of greens, and away went his chances, He got back one hole, but Ball went on to win one up. Carr gets a bye through the morning round today. The one possibility of Walker Cup members playing each other was a meeting between Drew and J. D. A. Langley. Drew was drawn against A. G. Peterson of Fitch- is of C unt burg, Mass., and Langley against Andre Tessier of Quebec, who Tues-day defeated R. A. Graham Jr. of Westbury, N.Y., 4 and 3. There was also the possibility that Jimmy Wilson of Scotland would run up against Gerry Kessel- ring of Kitchener, one of Canada's best bets for the championship. Wilson got by with a 3 and 2 win over J. V. Kerrigan of Montreal, while Kesselring easily disposed of Dr. Y. Dion of Montreal 7 and 6 despite a snagged thumb alomg the eighth fairway. Kesselring, playing from near a barbed wire fence. caught his thumb on the wire. Dr. Dion gave medical attention. Kes- selring said he didn't think the injury would bother him in swing- ing. Walter McElroy of Vancouver, 1951 Canadian amateur champion, had to put on a spurt at the last three holes to win over Marcel Pinsonnault of® Montreal, one up. A loss for Walter would have been the biggest upset so far of the tournament. McElroy said he was feeling badly--' 'Maybe I'm getting the flu, and I would gladly have shaken hands with Marcel at any hole; he really beat himself." Going into the morning round today the Canadian survivors were still powerful--at least numerically. The Quebec Willingdon Cup team, which finished second io Ontario Saturday, was intact. Ontario. Brit- ish Columbia and Manitoba each still had three players of their four- man t in the championship hunt. Two from Alberta and the New Brunswick-Prince Edward Is- land combination were also still in, Rex Joudrey was Nova Scotia's lone team representative and the Saskatchewan team had disap- peared. Two provincial juniors were still left. Ted Homeniuk of Yorkton, Sask., who won 3 and 2 over Art MacKenzie of Charlottetown Tues- day, was drawn against Don Cherry of Wichita Falls, Kan., sole U.S. Walker team gompetitor. Bill Moreland of North Bay de- feated L. D. Ribner" of Delwood, N.Y., 2 and 1, but Dave Moreland of North Bay lost to K. Alexander of Calgary, 3 and 1.

Save Tires...Save Gas...Improve Steering STEPHENSON'S GARAGE 15 CHURCH STREET STRAIGHTENER aster CHECKING SPORT By BOB RIFE As we flashed in yesterday's column, the Lindsay Mer- chants eliminated the Whitby Merchants and will now ad- vance into the Lakeshore League Intermediate '""A" base ball finals against the Oshawa McCallum Transporters. The fact that the Lindsay crew made the final round of the play-offs is no surprise to us, nor to anyone who watch- ed them play ball this year ...or for that matter to any- one who knew Coach Andy Widdis had picked up six Pet- erboro Marine senior stars for his team. They are the only team to hold a decision over the Tran- sporters this season... that tight 3-2 battle that the locals won't forget. And they are the only team this season to carry the locals into extra innings. We won that one 3-2. Lindsay will be tough nuts to crack... make no mistake about that. The proof will come in the first game of the finals here tonight at the Stadium at 8 p.m. The teams will travel back to. Lindsay for the second game this Saturday. _ For those who don't know the Lindsay crew, may we name a few of the Peterbcro boys now on the roster. . .Joe- Stewart, Joe Lowry . .. both of whom gained all-star recogni- + tion. Bill Edger, Al Garvey, Bill Huntley and Al Menzies. Then there is Junior West from Orono, the Truax brothers of hockey fame and the league's top left-handed chucker, Doug Loucks. Doug, we hear, has left the team... but he may show come the play-offs. You never can tell about him. As for the Transporters, Coach Willson reports all his charges fit and ready to go. They practiced at Lakeview Park last night and seemed in top shaps. As to who'll start the game . . . mum's the word. CHECKLETS -- It is cham- pionship time around the Osh- awa Golf Club, and this Sun- day Hal Butler, the pro at the local greens, will referee the 36-hole match play final of the club championship. The contestants are Dave Henry, last year's title-holder and Harold Ball. They'll tee- off around 9.30 Sunday morn- ing for the first 18 and will Jey start the last 18 around .30 p.m. ; Harold is shooting hot golf right now, having carded a 68 just last week. Dave is shoot- ing consistently in the very low seventies and should make a great stand against the challenger. Dave ousted Ross Gibbs, one of the club's younger mem- bers, in one bracket of the semi-finals, while Harold Ball eliminated Drew Jacobi. The course is in good shape, perhaps a bit dry from the re- cent weather, buf that will make for race-track fast greens and some real competition. The public are of course in- vited to look on...and the canteen in the clubhouse will be open all day to dole out. the soft drinks to keep 'em happy. From the camp of the Red Raider football club we hear that two stars with the club in former years have taken over the backfield and line coaching chores in the absence of the regular wearers of the brass badges. Jimmy Loreno, who is play- ing sensational ball this year ... again, is taking over the backs while Coach Jack Wed- ley is away on a week's vaca- ton. Ron Bilsky, line coach at Central CI last season and an outstanding guard with the Raiders, is handling the line during Alex Khnihisky's sick leave. From Cobourg we hear that two hometown boys, Art Round and Jimmy Campbell are mak- ing the railbirds nod at their fine showing in Ghost uniforms. Speaking of railbirds, there were quite a few at the Raider scrum on Sunday morning. They were a little disappointed much as we were, that the team didn't have that inter- squad battle. By Bob Rife. Grace Lenczyk Eliminates Giant-Killer Joyce Ziske By WILL GRIMSLEY PROVIDENCE, R. 1. (AP) -- Grace Lenczyk of Newington, Conn, a comebacking ex-titlist, and Pat Lesser, 19-year-old col- lege champion from Seattle, won the big matches Tuesday as the field in the United States women's teur golf tour t was re- duced to 32. The 25-year-old Miss Lenczyk, who hasn't done much since she swept the national and collegiate crowns in 1948, survived a dogged 20-hole duel with Joyce Ziske, the first day giant-killer from Water- ford, Wis. The willowy, blonde New Eng- lander clinched the match with a par four on the second extra hole. Miss Ziske, 19, eliminated the Brit- ish chamipon, Canada's Marlene Stewart, Monday. Miss Lesser took the measure of Claire Doran, Curtis Cup member from Cleveland, 3 and 2. The Se- attle girl was never behind. Other prime favorites kept pace in the 43-match eliminations over the 6,371-yard, par 74 Rhode Island Country Club course. These included ,Mrs. Mark Por- ter of Philadelphia, 1949 winner; Curtis Cuppers Marjorie Lindsay McMillen of Decatur, Ill., and Mrs. Howard Smith, the former Grace Demoss, of Corvallis, Ore., and such well-liked contenders as little Roslyn (Cookie) Swift of Great Neck, N. Y.; Pat Garner of Mid- land, Tex., 1952 semi-finalist; Bar- bara McIntire of Toledo, Ohio, and Yary Lena Faulk of Thomasville, a There's been a ground swell of sentiment for Miss Faulk, who is playing some of the most brilliant golf of the tournament. Tuesday she toyed with Mary Sargent of Memphis, Tenn., winning 6 and 4. Miss Swift, the metropolitan New York and state champion, had a sparkling 37, one under par, for the front side and was only one over for 17 holes as she eliminated Polly Martin of St. Clairsville, Ohio, 3 and 1.

In a prepared statement Thomp- son said he "must agree with the official rull that he (Rossall) should be ruled off the racetrack for life." - The statement also 'said a jockey in the same race gave evidence at the hearing that Rossall had told him of betting $100 on another horse in the race for which he was set down. Rossall denied bettin horse and said the $l on his own mount. on another had been y NO HOPE OF 30 Roberts Claims 21st Win A 6-1 Decision Over Braves By BEN PHLEGAR Associated Press Sports Writer At least 11 pitchers still nurse hopes of joining Robin Roberts of Philadelphia Phillies as 20-game winners this season, but most of them will need Lady Luck on their side to make the grade. With less than five weeks to play even Roberts, who at one stage looked a good bet to win 30, probably will consider himself ex- tremely fortunate if he comes close to his last: year's total of 28. The stréng-armed righthander posted victory No. 21 Tuesday plight 13 days after winning No. 20, by handcuffing Milwaukee on five hits for a 6-1 decision. Closest to him in either league is lefty Warren Spahn of the Braves who won his 18th Sunday. Five of the other 10 ho worked Tuesday night. Carl Er- skine of Brooklyn, Ge: Staley of St. Louis Cardinals and Bob Por- terfield of Washington all won their 16th games. Billy Pierce of Chi- cago White Sox failed in his bid for No. 17 and Bob Lemon of Cleve- land was beaten trying for his 18th. goes after his 17th victory today against New York Giants. The others with a chance all are in the American League--Mel Parnell of Boston and Virgil Truc of Chicago with 17 each and Whitey Ford of New York and Mike Gar- cia of Cleveland with 15 apiece. Roberts' success Tuesday night enabled the Phillies to break even since the Braves took the second game 6-2. Brooklyn split a pair with Chicago Cubs, los 3-1 and winning 6-5. The Giants beat the Cardinals 3-0 and lost 9-2. Cin- cinnati won two from Pittsburgh 8-6 and 9-8. In the American League the Yan- ves picked up a game on the hite Sox and now lead by 9%. New York edged Detroit 6-3 in 11 innings and Chicago lost to Phila- delphia Athletics 4-2. Washington beat Cleveland 8-4 and Boston and St. Louis Browns weren't sched- uled. Eddie Mathews of Milwaukee hit his 40th home run in the first ame off Roberts. In the nightcap w_ Burdette, the best percentage pitcher in the league, won his 13th Harvey Haddix of the Cardinals 'against two losses. THE DAILY TIMPS-GAZETTE, Wednesdny, August 55, 1008 94 Erskine owed his success against Chicago to Jackie Robinson's two home runs. In the opener Clyde McCullough doubled home one run and homered with one on for the other two as the Cubs won their first game in Brooklyn this season. Staley found it easy at the Polo Grounds where the fumbling Giants committed five errors in the night- cap. Ruben Gomez tamed the Card- inals on four hits for his 11th viec- tory and third shutout in the opener. Clutch home runs by Bob Bor- kowski in the first game and Roy McMillan in the second gave Cin- cinnati a sweep at Pittsburgh. Detroit stayed on even terms with the Yankees through 10 in- nings, but the Yanks pushed across four in the 11th, three on a bases- loaded double by Gil McDougald. Pierce was beaten by home runs by a pair of former Chicago team- mates, Gus Zernial and Dave Phil- ley. Zernial hit two, one of them with a man aboard, and Philley hit one. The White Sox managed only two hits off the combined offerings of Joe Coleman and Mor- ris Martin. Montreal Blasts Springfield Cubs By THE CANADIAN PRESS Montreal Royals regained some of the power that has kept them to the fore in International League circles these last few years, blast- ing Springfield Cubs 15-2 Tuesday night for their second victory in as many nights.
