Thursday, August 3; Milton Frustrates Frankie, Claims Close Verdict|| Most disappointed man in town last week was diminutive Frank- je May. And the sturdy little Oaks pitcher had every reason to feel chagrined as he watched Milton claim a 31 decision over his club--even though he allowed only one hit! After Oakville bunched two of its four hits off Murray Grenke for their lone run in the opening frame, the Milton crew made the most of a walk and three errors to chase a pair of runs across in the fourth. Then, in the sixth, came the single bingle registered against Frankie, a long high hoist over the right field wall by Gervais plating the last Milton Tun, With little at stake, Al Yar- nell used . as many men as he could work into the lineup, but none of the newly and nattily uniformed Oaks could do much with the slow dinky curve Grenke was blooping plateward. Kenny Pollock's drive to left centre, held to a single by fast fielding, was the neatest Oak effort. DUGOUT DATA--Pouring rain which established a temporary lake around first base caused postponement of Monday's Wat-| erdown' game. If possible, this contest will be played off next Monday as a twilight fixture . . The Oaks received an invitation this week to take part in the an- nual National Baseball Congress tourney 'at London, = August 21. Said Commissioner 'Lloyd Doug- las, in his letter of invitation: "If your club is anything like the band of battlers you had in the lineup last year, we'll be very|. - - glad to shave you our pro- gram." Don Davis had forwarded an entry some time ago, expect: ing to have the Oaks drawn in the Toronto eliminations for the London tourney. However, Doug- las apparently felt it wasn't nec- essary to have the locals work through the Queen City series, and now, with playoff time upon us, club officials feel they should not commit themselves to send- ing the team to London. Confi- dentially, it's a hazardous ven- ture from a financial angle, at best . . . Wet weather, with ac- companying cancellations of practice sessions, has had Al Yarnell discombooberated. Al has been pointing determinedly to the Acton series that begins in the latter town next Wednes- Juves Swing Into Playoff Action Bud Corbett's classy juvenile squad will meet Georgetown at Wallace park tonight (Thurs. day) in the first game of their Halton county playoff with Georgetown. Bud will have his ace moundsman, Wilf Herbert, on the hill for this all-import- ant tilt, in the hope of getting the jump on the Georgetown Kids. These young Oaks of the near future are well worth watching, and they would ap- preciate a full measure of spec- tator support. Game time is day, and he has been keen to get| his charges onto the diamond at every possible opportunity. How- ever, Al isn't too worried as to the outcome of the Acton set. The Oaks, he recalls, have a hap- py habit of playing top ball when the playoff chips are down . . . Fans who have felt Mark' Pol- locks twirling this season has fallen short of his 1949 perform- ance should remember two things. Mark has been building 2 house this summer, and-all his spare time has naturally gone in- .|to this venture. And this chucker is one who needs mound work and 'more mound work, to hit his pitching peak--and work on the diamond is the ome kind of toil he hasn't been getting, due to the tie-up at Wallace park and his building labors. Just watch him go come playoff time, however Brother Kenny Pollock has been taking a ribbing from his mates as a result of his trip to New Toronto with Bud Corbett's juveniles for an exhibition game Ken pitched for the juves \that night, due to Bud's desire to rest his juve hurlers, and did a ver, fair chore. But the payoff was that, in three of his trips to the plate, he struck out! Come pow, Kenneth! . . . Andy Milne is cov- ering plenty of greensward out in left field these past few games ... When Bd Wollons raced back to try for Gervais home run hoist in the Milton game, he became the first player to lose a decision to the right field light standard. Unfortunately, it wasn't possible to spot the poles outside the fence, but they will be covered with sponge rubber matting in the near future. B on a budget.

Bantams Take Group Title Two Straight Although he has, pitched better ball games this season, Mel Med- land was still too good for Wat- erdown as he went the distance to hurl his Oakville Motors ban- tam mates to an 83 win Thurs: day night. The victory gave' the local kids a straight games sweep of the Halton loop's play- off, qualifying them to meet the winner of the Acton-Georgetown series for the county title 'The Motors crew won the first tilt by a 6-2 count. 5 Medland whiffed eleven as he yielded six hits, and though his control was shaky at times, he managed to ease by withbut per- mitting a walk. Only four Oak ville hitters were able to dent the hit column, but Larry Shavers double, and singles by Ken and Skin Brown and Buck Snowball, all came at opportune moments. Thé local crew also played better ball afield than did their Water down opposition. Pheasant Futures When hunting enthusiasts go out for a day's legal pheasant shooting in Halton county next fall they should find quite a: number of nice big birds to shoot at. The pheasant chicks--some six or eight hundred of them--set out some two weeks ago by Dud- ley Hitchcox, county game war- den, are flourishing, according to Mr. Hitchcox. So far the small birds have escaped death at the hands of foxes, cats and owls, their worst enemies, and within a 'month. or so should be full- grown, Provided by the Ontario Department of Game and Fisher- ies, they are distributed through- out the four townships. Orphans MeetMayfairs In Initial Bow To Home Town Fans George Gray's mewly organ- ized intermediate B Orphans will make their debut before town fans Friday night, when coach Chris Speyer will trot his charg- es out onto the Wallace park dia- mond to face Mayfairs, of the West Toronto league. Chris plans to start either Bob Snowball or Don Jackson on the mound, with Harvey Lyon or Jack Markey behind the plate. As to the rest of his starting line-up, Chris isn't too sure as vet. "We have got 34 players to choose from, and I imagine I'll make fre- quent changes as we go along, as I want to give as many lads a chance to show their wares as possible," he declared. The Orphans have a bye into the O.B.A. intermediate B play- downs, and are endeavouring to sharpen up to playoff pitch in exhibition play. Club officials this week expressed appreciation to supporters who have helped them in acquiring uniforms and equip- ment. Holiday Activity 'With Civic Holiday coming up next Monday, Oakville Oaks are endeavouring to arrange for the playing of their oft postponed game with Waterdown at Wal- lace park. Should arrangements work out satisfactorily, fans will be informed by sound truck Sat- urday.
