Eight big, juicy errors combined with seven solid singles to permit Oakville Oaks to coast to their sixth Halton county loop win at the expense of Georgetown Raiders last Satur- day. Frankie May on the mound for the winners, spaced out six hits very capably, and was only in trouble in the third, when wob- bly support cost him both Georgetown runs. He turned the Raiders back with goose eggs in all other frames, however, and looked very good in the process. "Cliff Post paced Oak hitters with two bingles in three official trips off Wiltshire, who toiled the distance fon Georgetown.

He was assured that the ailing member will be back . Decision to admission for games came as an effort to control the kids who have been swarming all over the 'stands and disturbing the fans who really wanted to watch the play. Club officials felt that if the youngsters were wil- ling to forgeo a couple of cones to get in, they were really inter- ested.

Florence Yarnell's lusty triple was a highlight of the heavy Oakville batting attack. Nora Vollick twirled a one-hit game and held the Brampton squad scoreless for five innings. The three Taxi runs came just be- fore the end on walks and er- rors.

Not only did the visiting colored club fail to draw peanuts at the gate, but Al Yarnell's Oaks insisted in adding insult to financial injury by pinning an 86 defeat on the lads from south of the border. The Pilots tagged Mark Pol- lock for 11 hits, as compared with the ten Oak sluggers collect- ed from two Washington twirl ers. Mark was tight enough in the clutches, while fanning six, to weather the storm, however. Oak hickory honors went to Ray Patterson and Alex Wollons, both of whom cleared the left field wall with ~ lusty wallops, then added a line single apiece. "Windy" Withnell and Paul Gil- liam, with doubles, had the only other extra base hits, while Ken Pollock, Milne, Languay and Gal- braith contributed. singles. in perennial or rose bor- ders can be filled at this time by: the use of pot grown plants. By ALEX J. MORRISON Better Golf, originator of Guaranteed Golf Instruction Author of A New Way to LAMMING SAMMY SNEAD still holds the title of most popular golfer despite notable lapses from form and repeated threats to retire from tourna- ment play. You'll find plenty of fans ranging from his profes- sional colleagues to admirers among the fair sex who insist that Sam always will be tops with them. Certainly more ques- tions are asked about him than about any other golfer I've known. "How does Snead stand? What hole is he playing now?" asks the galleryite who is inter- ested in following only Sam. And the student of the swing wants to know just what gives the Virginian so much power and why he runs into such bad put- ting slumps. To properly explain Snead as man and golfer re- quires more space than I can supply, but here are a couple of my notions on the subject. PR IN PERSONALITY Snead is about as natural an individual as T've ever run across. I've never found him: or heard of him being anything but himself on any occasion. This natural- ness registers in the: honesty of his smile. When Sam smiles he doesn't do it with only part of his features, he does it with his whole mind and body, a com- pleteness that simply dazzles ou Since receiving the plaudits of critics like Bobby Jones he has been considered golf's most nat- ural swinger. But in handling clubs his naturalness has caused him plenty of trouble. It made him regard certain swing essen- tials as things he could do au- tomatically without any special training. Copyright by Kin Snead Has Glamor and Skill SAM SNEAD, despite notable lapses from form, appeals to golf galleries more than any club, swinger in the last decade. He is a rare combination of extremely likeable personality and highly developed skill. I contend that these swing items and not parts of his per- sonal makeup have caused his lapses, kept him from establish- ing himself as unquestionably the greatest golfer of all time. But, I agree with the fans who think he's all right as he is. gc Features Syndicate Oakville Ready-Mix CONCRETE: Phone Oakville 928 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 X A hd P| The time of year is coming up P | when long, long drives are in or- P| der.
