] 1 | A Ad Thursday, April 6, 1950 THE OAKVILLE-TRAFALGAR JOURNAL Page 5 Ticket Oasis Getting anxious to have a. peek at the Maple Leaf ball club 'that Jack Sanford is put- ting through its training paces down Florida way these fine 'Spring days? Opening day, May 8, is less than a month away, and Toronto's first Sun- day dlamond matinee takes place May 7, so it isn't too soon to start thinking about tickets. Bud Corbett announces he will have 50 ducats for each game, upper boxes and stands-- so better speak for ome right smartly if you plan to snatch a preview of what Leaf and Philly top brass predict will be a sure fire first division aggregation. Clarkson Juves Shine In Classy Competition A shot that slipped by in the last five seconds of play last week spolled Chuck Terry's shut- out and gave Toronto Brockton's a 1-1 draw with Clarkson juv- eniles in the King Clancy THL. series. Jimmy Rowe netted the Clarkson counter. The Clarkson kids, who num- ber several Oakville juveniles in their line-up, showed particular- ly well against the highly rated Brockton squad. In addition to Terry and Rowe, Bertrand, Kob- yashi and Ronnie Orr also came up with topflight performances. BOWLING BANTER CHIPS DOWN _ With the robin shrilling, the buds about to pop, and the fair- Ways beginning to beckon, town trundlers are geared for playoff time. The Ferro Enamels Loop starts the ball rolling next Mon- day night, with the Men's Ma- jor league following on Tuesday evening, and the B.A. maple top- plers swinging into payoff action the following week. Winners of these series will lock horns for the Bowling Lanes trophy. In the Major loop, the gallop- ing Schmoos have, of course, cinched the second series and are favoured to roll away the top honors. Anything can happen in the five-game total-pins playoff competition, however, and it should be a hot night next Tues- day. The Trust Credit trophy goes to the top team, while mer- chandise certificates will be pick- ed up by the individual sharp- shooters. Al Yarnell continues to hold the season's high single and triple for the loop, with 868 and 398 marks. Doc Dafoe, however, has cornered the alley seasonal records with 916 and 416. EYE THAT PRIZE! Frank Russell reports that in- terest is already being aroused in the annual Oakville Bowling Lanes 3-game five pins scratch tourney, to get under "Look at that Cleaning job!" You too will be proud of the way your garments return from us. Meticu- lous care given to every cleaning job. * For Pick-up & Delivery Phone 1557 Oakville Cleaners way May 1. Frank expects the $50 guaranteed first prize in each of the singles, doubles and mixed doubles sections will at- tract a host of top trundlers from out of town. And it goes with- out saying that a full quota of major leaguers will have their entry forms in long before the starting date. Entry fee of $1.50 for each event covers both entry and bowling charges. Need Birth Certificates When Registering For Minor Ball Leagues As minor peewess, peewees and bantams besiege his place of business to sign up for the fast approaching minor baseball sea- son, Bud Corbett continues to stress the necessity for filing birth certificates with the regis- trations. In many cases, how- ever, Bud finds it difficult to convince these youthful diamond stars of tomorrow as to the im- portance of the certificates. As a result, a lot of youngsters are turning up to register armed with statements of age signed by their parents. "Birth certificates are neces- sary because the Ontario Base- ball assn. like the OHLA., requir- es that they be filed when our teams progress to playoff com- petition," he explained this week. "As our youngsters move up, in baseball and hockey, to bantam, midget and juvenile classifica tion, we can't use players who haven't produced birth certifi- cates. Should a player fail to qualify in this way, it would be a great disappointment to him and would weaken the team to have him disqualified just at trophy hunting time. So we have to insist that certificates are fil- ed in the beginning, so that we may plan our teams in advance." Birth certificates, which may $1, will be useful later on for many purposes other than ath- Ietics, Bud points out. "We are not questioning parental state- ments of age," he declared. "It's just that we have to conform with existing Ontario rulings, due to our affiliations with the pro- be obtained at Queen's Park for | vincial bodies." 2% 0.B.
