PAGE TEN THURSDAY, AUGt~T 2nd, 1934 «The Spotliglut on Sport» Bowmanville Snatches Spectacular 9-8 Victory From Port Hope in 9th Innings Score Five Rima in Final Frame to Overcome Big Handicap in Fast Ragged Game in Port Hope on Saturday (By Nelson Osborne) "And so," concluded the learned statesmnan, "history neyer epeats itself." "Baloncy" says we witli empliaSiS on the f irst syliable. Maybe some of you fans will ne- eaul third playoff game between the Bowmnanville - Orono - Newcastle aggregation and Bailieboro at Porti Hope two yeans ago, when the com-1 bines after trailing for most of the game and looking about as much1 like a baîl team as Fatty Arbuckle does Janet Gaynor. scored f ive i-uns in the iùnth inninga and then held their opponents sconeless to win. Well, seven playens who played for the winners on that memorable day were still piaying for Bowmanviiie then they once more scored f ive runs in the nintli innings te defeat Port Hope Ontarios 9-8 on1 the saine diamond on Saturday. For eight innings the locals acted like and were a beaten teamn. Iîn the field they made errons, ight to be exact, and the pitcher was always' in the hoic. At bat tley swung at Bnockenshires noundhouse like a hainmer on a hook. Frankly it was just one of those games in which no- body could do anything ight. f Meanwhile Port Hope piaying at fair brand of bal. used a few- lits1 well mixed with errons and walksf to lead 7--2 at the eighth. By riusc turne Port Hope f igured that the game was ready for delivery, post-t paid and acting accordingly they gotr careless and booted a couple, andc these atong with singles by Corden and Large scored twvo runs. But wlen Port Hope came riglit back in their haîf of the eighth te score one run on two hits and an error te iead 8-4 it made Bowmanvil's tivo nun plun!Je look ike a drowning man and the straw episode. But the ninth was another story. Bates piaying thiîd base for the day, singled, Cameron flied out to lef t and the lads began packing Up. AI Osborne hit to Hudson wlio fumbled and Al reached first on the error.t Packing activities ceased. Bert Col-% weli, who had been popping up to the infield ahl after-noon, came toE bat and popped anether, only this one came to reat in the gravel pit in iglt f ield for a home run scor- ing Bates and Osborne. Unpacking commences. Corden, always danger-c ous in the pinches, singled te right fer his fourth hit and when Large followcd %with another single un-E packing was completed and Brock- enshire was dernicked and Wakely moved on te the mound.

Eleven men went to bat for the win- ners in this innings and six hits. one walk and an e: ror were respon- sibie for the runs. Right now Bowmanville has one of the best. if flot the best team, in the league and if a few of the tem- permental players wîi forget them- selves and realize they are not too good to sit on the bench, the team will really go places in the approach- ing playoff s. Time and again this season there hasnt been a man on the bench. If the pitchen had an off day it was just too, bad because there was ne one to relieve him. And then when a regular had te work, the manager was forced to go out and beg somebody to take his place in- stead of knowing that there would be four or f ive players in uni.form, at the gaine cagen for the chance te play. It sure is a f unny world!' Those who would give their shirt to play can't, adtoeho can play won't. Bowmanville Football Club Fined by League Executive As a result of the fracas in the Bowmanville-Courtice football game here recentiy, when McKniglit is aliegcd to have kirked a Courtice. player when the latter was on the ground, McKnight has been sus- pended for three gaines by the lea- gue executive at a special meeting. In addition Bow;ýmanville Club is fincd $15.00 for failing te, have its tcam members registercd by June lSth. Several other clubs were also flined on the same basis of 50c a day and for the same reason. As regards the McKnight affair there seenis to bc somne disagree- ment. Jenkins of Oshawa, refere of the gaie. stated that he did not Sec Mcknight kick the Courtice player. and therefore did nct award a penalty. He also stated that Muir, who was the complainant player. had been warned thrce times dur- ing the game for rough play. and lie would have put him off. but for -aining the ill will of the Courtice tcam. BowýmanvîlIle Club i.s leading the league and refusal te pay the fine wvould mean its suspen-jon from the league this year. Tis would gîve thc other teams an opportun ityý of winning the trophy. In any event it secms unfair that the icague cx- ecutive would flot acccpt the state-l ment of the referce who handlcdi the game. Jenkins did not sech alleged kicking. and if lie v,-as fol- lus ing the game at aIl closcly he could not have mised it. In any event, wliether the kick- ing happened or not, it is te be hop- cd7 that this illwill will flot be car- ried into the finals, which have been featured on many occasions witli a type of football that is no credit to the league here in WestI Durham. Witli the fine type of men on the lineups of the various teams it's a shame te man the game and the reputation of the players by horse-piay t.actics. Over enthusias- tic rooters on the side uines might be more discreet in their words and actions duning the games. Bowmanville Ties With Port Perry in Exhibition Game at Nestleton Monday In an exhibition hard baîl game at Nestleton on Monday night, Bow- manville Intermediates played te a 3-3 draw with Port Perry. Port Perry led the way through most of the 8 innîngs game but a two run raliy in the 7tli brought the game to a cimze in a tic. The game was played in connect- ion wvith the Nestieton Presbytenian Church Anniversary and served as an encouragement to the youth of the commun.ity who are 'keenly in- terested in baseball. Bowmanville's teami consisted of: Bowman, P; Bates, C; Corden, lb; ColweIl 2b, H. Osborne 3b; Os- borne. ss; Luxton, If; Large, cf; Bag- neil, rf. Port Perry: Clarke, p: Philp, c; O. Beare, lb; S.

SPORT NEWS In another column, Nelson Os- borne with enthusiastic ability tells sorne of the boys just where th-ey gel off, and having foliowed the teami around considerably this year, find ourselves in entire agreement. When some of the players realize that the team cornes f irst, before personal ambitions, the sooner Bow- manville will produce a basebaîl team of real menit. And ilt might be added as long as the team Jacks the support that it does, the longer it will be getting into, its rightful stride. There are far tco many tight- wads hanging over the east fence and running away with every new bail that goes over, ratlier than pay- ing their legitimate entry into the game.

Students - Goodyear Tie Iii a game featured by two dozen strikeouts, fairiy evenly divided be- tween Allan Osborne and Boyd Sie- mnon, Goodyear and Hligh School played to a 2-ail tic on Tuesday night. Goodyear opened the scor- ing in the firat with the schoiars tying it up in the third. Goodyear led away again in the last of the third. but High School came back to tle it again the sixth. Boyd Sle- mon had 11 strikeouts, and Osborne 13. Fred Jackman and P. CancilIa handled the gaie. The Junior Team There seems to be considerable misunderstanding with regard to the Junior Teamn which wiil enter the Lakeshore Junior playoff s next week. The teamn will be known as the Orono Juniors, although it willi be composed of miostly Bow.,manvilie players. The reason for this is that iii the spring Bow,ýmanviile f ailed to enter a teami when it was approach- ed. A meeting of the Business Men turned down the oppartunity of running the two teams, and the matter was lef t in abeyance until Orme Gamsby came on the scene. Orme is a great admirer of our High School team and considered it in it-self a splendid junior team. Rather than have the locals miss an opportunity of playing Junior ba.sebaîl this year, Orme made ap- plication to the O.B.A.A. for per- mission to enter a team in the Jun- ior playdowns. Permission was granted under the naine of Orono. but the majority of players wiil of course corne f romi the High School team. Those students wlio have al- ready played Intermediate bail this ummer will not be eligible to play Junior basebali.

Whilc we agree that the Lake- shore League executive could do lit- tIc different f rom wlat tley did, under the circumistances, we again take our stand against the childisl practices cnforced by a se-called en- iightened sporting executive as thc O.B.A.A. This is an example which illustrates just how one of the best players in the league can be barned f rom taking part in sport because of an obsoiete rule that should have been sc-rqpped years ago.

Wc would suggest tei the Lakeshore League executive, that if iin future any team in the league wants te protest thce igibil- ity 0f any player, that the protest must be made before the game.
