ORT SUA! 10 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE, Monday, September 21, 1953 ' TWO-GAME TOURNEY SPORTS MENU "Everything from Soup to Nuts" by Geo. H. Campbell SPORTS EDITOR The rain just about washed out every bit of sport action carded for the weekend except here in Oshawa. The Red Raiders got their game in with Cobourg, here, but probably wish hey pada = the oping Ghosts galloped all ove! the Raiders. Up at Alexandra Park, Ben Fallman's Shamrock AC got in their track-and-field meet in fine style but entries were not as heavy as expected. Bathe Park Bantams lost at home to Toronto Latimer Brokers -- which cleans up that OASA series for the local Kiwanis League entry and up at Alexandra Park, Duplate defeated Fittings to finally clean up that Industrial League semi-final series. Brougham was rained ouf on Saturday but travelled up to Ed- gar RCAF Station on Sunday afternoon and won the third and deciding game of their OASA Inter. "D" series, by a 5-3 score, a real thriller. Whitby Stokers were rained out Saturday night will play in Toronto tonight (they hope) and the second game still stands, for the Whitby diamond tomorrow night. Sunnyside Park Midgets open their OASA play- offs against the North York champions, here at Sunnyside Park this evening. Big softball game for Oshawa sport fans is at the Stadium' to- morrow night. Owen Sound and Connaught Tigers open their OASA Juvenile 'A" OASA quarter-finals here under the lights tomorrow night at eight o'clock. The Oshawa UAWA Juvenile League cham- pions, who incidentally hold the Ontario Juvenile "A" .champion-, ship at the moment, were to go to Owen Sound on Saturday but they too were rained out. The opening game of this important series will now be played under the floodlights, here at the Kins- men Memorial Stadium, on Tues- day night. The Oshawa "Generals" will not operate this winter When the OHA Junior "A" Council (dele- gates from each Junior "A" club) meets tomorrow night, rep- resentatives of the Oshawa Gen- erals Hockey Club will request a year's leave of absence and ask for approval of a suspension of operations. All avenues have been investigated but the above decision was reached over; the weekend. The Times - Gazette sports editor was informed last night, by an official voice of the Oshawa Hockey Club. Marciano Confident Of Fight Outcome By JACK HAND GROSSINGER, N. Y. (AP)-- Marciano, at the peak of his car- eer, expects to erase the only dis- puted fight in his record Thurs- day night at the Polo Grounds against determined Roland La- tarza. "I'd like to clear that up," said the heavyweight champion after Sunday's sizzling workout. "It's the only fight there ever was any argument about. I always figured I'd fight him again. '"He's a strong guy, one of the strongest 1 ever fought--at least as strong as Joe Walcott. But he doesn't hit like Walcott. "I think I've improved an awful lot since the first fight with La- Starza. After all, that was 3% years ago." (Marciano won a split decision from LaStarza March 24, 1950). * The big crowd that jammed the quonset-hut hangar at the airport for his last heavy drill agreed that the rock from'Brockton, Mass. was much improved over the crude, awkward slugger of even a year ago. The champ looked sharp as he went four rounds. '"That was the best 1 ever saw um training," said manager Al eill. Marciano talked freely of his last fight with LaStarza. "It was very close," he said. "But I thought I won it. I don't think I threw even one combina- tion that night. When I knocked him down, I didn't hit him a full shot. It was a long right that caught him against the ropes. "I guess he's the best boxer I ever fought. But I don't remember that he ever hurt met" Marciano - passed a preliminary physical exam in fine style. Dr. Vincent Nardiello of the New York State Athletic Commission said he was in "terrific shape." The doc said Rocky weighed about 186. Charley Goldman and Allie Colombo, his handlers, figure he'll come in close to 184 for the 15-round fight, his second defence. There will be no work for Mar- ciano today with a brief three- round final session scheduled Tues- day with Willie Wilson, a LaStarza- type boxer. He'll go into New York Tuesday to stay at the home of a friend. The only definite plans for the rock after the fight call for watching the world series. "I've got to go with the Dodgers"' said the champ, an old National Leaguer who once had a trial as a catcher with the Chicago Cubs farm system. And the fight? "I hope it doesn't go more than seven." Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Dewland Win Felt Doubles Cup The annual Felt Mixed Doubles tournament was held at the Osh- awa Lawn Bowling Club greens on Saturday. as scheduled, but heavy rain showers caused num- erous interruptions in the play and a heavy downpour early in the evening made it impossible to com- plete the third games, so it was called a complete tournament, on a two-game basis. Thirty-six pairs, many ffom out- side points such as Trenton, Toron- to, Whitby, Port Perry, Port Hope, Cannington, etc., participated and despite the inclement weather, there was keen competition in the games played and the fellowship and social aspects of the tourna- ment made it a complete success. Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Dewland of Oshawa copped the Felt Cup, with two wins for a total of 40. The Oshawa duo defeated F. Letcher and his partner from Whitby 20-10 in the first game and won 20-13 over H. Dickinson of High Park, in the second round. . Mr. and Mrs. '"Pard" Canning of Oshawa finished a close second with two wins and a total score of 36, nosing out J. McLaughlin of Port Hope who also had 36 for two wins. J. McCutcheon of Oshawa was fourth with two wins and a score of 35 and Vic Highfield of Port Hope had 33 for two wins to take 5th prize. G. McMillan of Oshawa and F. Hamilton of Toronto High Park were tied for 6th and 7th prizes with two wins and totals of 32 apiece. W. Wilson of Cosburn Park was 8th with two wins and a 29 to- tal while W. Fuller of Trenton took the 9th rie with two wins and a score e In the high one-win division, two prizes were awarded, and they went to C. Litster of Oshawa and H.

Peterboro VICTORIA (CP) Peterbor- ough Trailermen and Victoria: Shamrocks meet in the fourth game of the best-of-seven Cama- dian senior lacrosse championships here tonight. If the last game is any criterion, it will be 'another rough, penalty-filled battle. : Victoria is going all out, as it did in Friday's game, to even the series. It went into Friday's third game trailing 2-0 and after the roughest game seen here in a long time, defeated the defending champions 8-7. Peterborough won the first and second 13-12 and 10-7 respectively. For a while during the tension- filled week-end, there was a pos- sibility that Peterborough would not appear on the floor for to- night's game. Peterborough play- Brown's Franchise Shift Another "Brave" Idea? By JOE REICHLER Associated Press Sports Writer Attention, American League club | owners! When you convene next Sunday to discuss the St. Louis Browns' proposed transfer, it might be well to adopt the following slogan: 'Remember 'the Braves!" The Braves newly shifted from Boston to Milwaukee, in their first major league baseball season in half a century established a Na- tional League attendance Tecprd when 1,826,397 cash custome came out to root their beloved darkhorse club into second place. Although Sunday's games had no bearing on the final standing, a capacity crowd of 36,011--one per- son for every seat in the stadium --watched the Braves split a doubleheader with Cincinnati's, Redlegs. Rookie Joey Jay, making his first major league star, shut out the Redlegs«3-0 in an abbrev- iated seven-inning nightcap after Cincinnati had won the opener 5-3. The doubleheader, which con- cluded the club's home games for the year, enabled the Braves to shatter the old league attendance mark of 1,807,526 set by the pen- nant winning Brooklyn Dodgers of 1947. The only second place club ever to draw more than the cur- rent Braves were the 1950 Detroit Tigers of the American League who drew 1,951,474, Briggs Stad- ium seats 52,954 'to 36,011 for Mil- waukee. « It might be well for the Amer- ican League club owners to re- member that practically this same Braves team drew 281,278 in Bos- ton last year, an attendance just about duplicated by the '53 Browns in St. Louis. With the pennant races decided days ago, attention was focussed on individual performance Sunday. Chicago's Virgil Trucks became the fourth American League pit- cher to win 20 games this year when he pitched the Sox to a 5-2 win over St. Louis Browns. Bob Keegan, 32-year-old right- hander, pitched his second \succes- sive three-hit shutout 4-0 in the op- ener. Gus Zernial walloped homers Nos. 40 and 41 to help the Phila delphia Athletics win two games from Washington 13-9 and 4-3, and wrest the American League lead from Cleveland's Al Rosen. Billy Martin's three-run homer highlighted a five-run sixth inning Don Payne's Bat Booms Against Local Cricketers Oshawa Cricket Club was round- ly defeated in its last scheduled match of the 1953 season played at Lakeview Park yesterday. The Ramblers, a*touring side composed. of Southern Ontario stars, provid- ed the opposition and big, burly Don Payne played an aggressive innings to margin of Oshawa's loss. The Ramblers went in to first and the Oshawa hopes were raised when three men were . dismissed for only eight runs. Payne stopped the rot and backed by-Joe Cress- well and Horace Morley ran the total up to 126. He was finally tak- en by Jim Brown who pulled off a superb catch at mid-on. Peter Staples got five Rambler wickets for 38 and Al. Haley took two for 27. Brown also shone in the local club's batting statistics. An open- ing bat he made 18 of the entire Oshawa score of 71. Othess to reach double figures were Haley with a bright and breezy 15 and John Huband with 13. Cresswell's slow spin: bowls collared seven Oshawa wickets. core 63 -- about the | that gave Eddie Ford his 18th vic- tory and New York Yankees a 10-8 Slugrest victory over the Bos- ton Red Sox. Mike Garcia also won his 1lith game, pitching Cleveland Indians to a 6-3 triumph over Detroit after the Tigers had taken the opener 8-6. Steve Souchock slammed a pair of homers for Detroit in the opener. Stan Musial, battling against long odds to retain -his championship, cracked out a single, triple and his 28th home run; in four times at bat to lead St. Louis Cardinals to an 11-6 victory over Chicago Cubs, Musial who was batting .244 in early June, is now hitting .330, 14 points below Na- tional League leader Carl Furillo of Brooklyn.

The little official was the centre of disputes with Peterborough sev- eral times during Friday's game and in the third period he had the eastern club's manager, Bob Cur- tin, escorted off the floor by po- lice. During t he fourth quarter, Thorpe charged, there were seven Shamrocks on the floor and neither Folka nor Sid Greenwood, the other official, called a penalty. + But Canadian Lacrosse Associ- 3tion. officials said Sunday they had received no official complaint from the Peterborough team and no request for a special meeting. Officials alsp said Bill Wilkes and Bill Dickinson will referee tonight's game--but not because of the Pet- erbarough demand. As far back as last Thursday Wilkes and Dickinson were slated for Monday's game.

It was a two-straight win for the Latimer Broker lads and they left no doubt as to their superiority. Angel started on the mound for Bathe Park but in addition to being hit very hard, he received shaky support from his mates. Latim- ers scored three runs in the first inning with Hague's double the big blow and they added six in the next frame, Quartermain getting a triple. . 4 A couple of runs in the third inning gave the visitors 'an 11-1 lead and Barriage took over the pitching duties in the 4th inning. The winners continued to hit thé ball hard and scored steadily, adding to their total in every in-s| n Adams, on the mound for Latim- er Brokers, was in top form as he continued his undefeated record for the season. The Bathe Park lads had trouble with his sling-shot de- livery. Barriage banged a homer in the second inning and had two more hits before the day was out. Piper, his catcher, also had three hits and Bathe with two safeties, comprised the total of Bathe Park's attack. Lang, Dick and Angel each had one hit. The Bathe Park lads got another run in the 4th inning and staged a 3-run rally in the fifth, to complete their 5-run total. Bathe Park Bantams now move into their own Kiwanis Bantam League championship finals, a 3- out-of-5 series, which opens to- night (Monday) at Bathe Park, 5.30 o'clock, against Rundle Park.

Food-poisoned Salmonacs Given Playoff TORONTO (CP)--New Westmin- ster Salmonacs, stricken with food poisoning Friday night, have been given another day to recover be- fore they continue their best-of- five-game Canadian junior lacrosse final with Long Branch Monarchs. Originally scheduled for Satur- day night, the fourth game was postponed twice when the Salmon- acs did not get over their illness in time for today's contest. Date for the fourth game has now been set for Tuesday night. Salmonacs lead the series 2-1 and suffered their first defeat of the season Friday when they lost 16-6 to Long Branch. Many New Westminster players complained of 'not feeling well during the game." Truck M ac Donald, Salmonac coach, said it was definitely estab- lished that the poisoning was not contracted from any of the restau- rants in the vicinity of the motel at which the Salmonacs are stay- ing. It was definitely an out-of- town location, MacDonald said. From health deparment reports, it seems likely the illness was caused by a virus infection rather than ordinary food poisoning. Last of the team, taken to hos- pital in ambulances and police cruisers early Saturday morning, were released from hospital Sun- day. But most of them were still Delay shaky and Cliff Sepka, at present the leading scorer of the series with six goals and 10 assists, and Stan Cowie remained in bed Sun- day. All affected with the illness were on liquid diets. MacDonald was also stricken by the poisoning, but didn't take iil until Saturday afternoon. Don Sepka was hit at the same time. | 7th MacDonald wanted to call a practice for Sunday afternoon, but it was impossible he said. "I'm anxious to have a practice today, but it depends on the' team's con- dition. I know now how the illness feels and I wouldn't appreciate being forced to run around in prac- tice that way," he said. MacDonald said he thought it was considerate of Long Branch coach Jack Dorney to visit the team, and say that he wouldn't want to play a team when its members were not well. "I sure admire the boys for Friday's work," the New West- minster coach said. "They kept going on guts alone, trying to snap out of a condition they couldn't do anything about." "But the boys will have to get well soon because they must get back to their jobs. I don't think the folks back home are worried too So much because the reports reaching 1929 them should put them at ease." ing match. Curtin was arguing Folka"s decision penalizing Curly Mason for scoring while in the crease. He refused Folka's order to get off the player's bench and was escorted out of the arena. The automatic suspension that went the week-end after the CLA de- cided it would serve no good pur- pose. Victoria coach Red McMillan is looking for a replacement for Al Gill, who sufered a skull fracture Friday when blocked by Trailmens with the order was lifted during Nip O'hearn. Duplate Oust Fittings Via Home-runs Duplate and Fittings fin. con- cluded their Industrial an: League semi-final series, when Duplate whipped Fittings 15-7 at Alexandra Park on Saturday after- noon, for their fourth official win of the 7-game series. As the series turned out, seven games were played with a Dup- ate victory early in the round be- ing successfully protested by Fit- tings, who won two of the remain- ing six starts. Saturday's fixture wa% won by the batters and the brilliant pitch- ing chores turned in by both Jack McConkey and L. Dervent on the previous game was entirely ab- sent. ) Each team scored a Tun in the first inning, Maeson's blow and an infield out scoring Yourkevich while three-straight hits by Gur- ney, Game and Dervent gave Fit- tings their tally. Duplate won the game in the second inning with a total of seven hits, two of them homers, for six runs. Edgar singled to open the inning and Harding homered. Planche singled and so did Weth- erup then Maeson doubled, Me- Conkey singled and Spencer hom- ered. In the third inning Duplste added four more runs, Jack Me- Conkey getting a homer in this in- ning. They had another big 4-run rally, on four solid hits, in the sixth inning. The two 4-run rallies were at the expense of Doug. Keeler, who replaced Dervent in the second. _ Fittings were trailing 11-1 going into their third' inning and were out of the running, but they kept pecking away, got single tailies the third and fourth, added two in the sixth inning and one in the Maeson with four hits, J. Me- Conkey and Planche with three apiece, were the big hitters for the winners while Gurney, Dervent and Brooks were best for the los- ers. DUPLATE -- Yourkevich, e¢; Wetherup, 3b; Maeson, rf; J.
