SPORTING THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG. =] NEWS THURSDAY, JULY 16, 1985 TIMELY COMMENTS KINGSTON BACK IN FIRST PLACE _ DEFEATED PETERBORO HERE 5-4 « All Kingston's Runs __ They Staged a Hitting Close Go for Honors--Kingston safely and when Arnie! made a play |. -- Kingston seniors climbed back on the top rupg of the Cenfral Ontario @ ladder on Wednesday even- ing by administering a 5-4 defeat to the Peterboro team, which, up to . the time of the game, had been lead- © dng the Central Ontario League with . & total of nine victories and six losses.! By Kingston's win last even- _ ing and Belleville's loss to Oshawa, _ the three teams, Peterboro, Oshawa and Kingston are again tied up with nine wins and seven losses apiece while Belleville has the cellar all to itself with five wins and eleven losses. { The game here was devoid of thrills but there was good baseball served up for the fans. The first three and s<half innings went air- tight with neither team registering 8 counter but in the fourth frame, Kingston ran wild and with five hits and some loose work by Peterboro, shoved across five runs, just enough to win the game. Peterboro scored two runs in the fifth inning, one in the seventh and one In the eighth but they did not even threaten to tie it up in the ninth. The only real kick the fans got out of the game was when Al Heck- man, the fair-haired hero of Peter- boro walked out to bat for Johnston in the seventh inning after "Shiner" had decided that he had done enough for one day. Heckman was greeted with a chorus of song and words by the crowd but he did honor to his team and himself by banging out a neat hit for two bags and thereby had the laugh on his "admirers" and turned in a clean sheet for the day. _ "Shiner" Johnston covered short for the visitors until the seventh inning 'When he left that position in favor of Holyman but not before he had contributed the only.error that was 'marked against Peterboro. Even with that, "Shiner" showed some of the younger generation how to play short and he need not be ashamed of Ris performance, that is, for an eld- _ erly gentleman like him. "Red" Le- gon was back in the game again but reversed positions, going over into right field. Frankie Whitehouse was ~ Johnston's selection on the mound and the youngster pitched good ball. 'Whitehouse had six strikeouts to his credit, walked two men, hit one, had two assists and went errorless, which 48 by no means a bad record for a young | pitcher like Whitehouse. Johnston decided to give some of his ~ second string men a chance and used Ross behind the plate instead of Swanston while McPherson started _ at third in place of Helson and John- #on himself at short in place of Holyman. Harrison, who is gener- ally regarded as being sure of at one hit a game, went hitless evening although he had a busy time on first with ten putouts to handle. ' For Kingston Halbert showed the Sreatest improvement of the lot and went about his work In a serious frame of mind and with more deter- mination than he has shown this sea- son. Although Halbert is credited With an error, it must be explained that this error was quite excusable. He dropped the ball when runner ; Into second base collided with . Otherwise he had a clean sheet Were Scored In Fourth inning When and Whitehouse Had Played Better Ball. on him at second, Ash went into second in su¢h a way that Halbert dropped the ball and in the mixup, Ross dug for home with the second run. The next two men were easy outs. ry In the seventh frame with Ross al- ready out; Ash reached first on Bat- stone's error and Whitehouse hit safely. Heckman replaced Johnston at the bat.and hit for two, scoring Ash, The other run came in the eighth inning. With Harrison out to Tee- pell, Hall was hit by Cairns and trot- ted down to first. Helson, who re- placed McPherson, hit safely. Ross struck out and Ash hit scoring Hall. Kingston's runs all came in the fourth inning. Halbert was the first to hit and he was followed by Bat- stone and Somerville who did like- wise. Halbert scored on a passed ball and Cherry hit safely. Cherry stole second but was caught between third and home but in the mean time Batstone and Somerville had scored on his hit. Purvis was thrown at first base and Nickle was safe when McPherson pulled a prize boner by failing to touch 'the runner from second to third when White- house threw the hall to him. Nickle stole second and Arniel went to first when he was hit by the pitcher. Cairns was safe on Johnston's error and Nickle registered when Teepell bit as did also Arniel.

"Golf's most successful teacher," says "Chick" Evans. When the golfer learns to lead his club with the hands he almost always avoids rolling of the forearms, which is bad in the golf swing. Usually the forearm rolls to the right, open- ing up the face of the club too much. If the roll in the forward swing is not in exact proportion the clubhead may be so dragged across the ball that slicing will result. Then there is the habit of rolling the left fore- arm forward, toward the ball, as the clubhead is taken back, which can result from trying to keep the club low. When this forward roll occurs the face of the club is toed inward at the beginning of the back swing and remains that way throughout the swing, so that an annoyingly persist- ent hook results, PUZZLE PLAYS. .

Tommy Halbert last evening turned in one of the best games that he has played this season and found favor with the fans. Halbert never worked more seriously or harder in a game than he did against the Peter- ! boro team and this man deserves great credit for the fine game he put up. ! Although Halbert, must be credited with an error, it was really a very excusable one when he dropped the ball with a runner going into second base, who was out by a few feet had Halbert retained the ball. Halbert was hurt but pluckily made the throw to the plate in an effort to try to get the runner from third, before he gave in to his injury, which, fortu- nately, did not keep him out of the contest, ------ With Bert Daley batting a thousand in Oshawa on Saturday, that is, once up, one hit, there were some who wondered why he was not put in last evening to bat for Cairns. The local twirler, however, is an excep- tionally good hitter for a pitcher and it was felt by Manager Daley that he would be able to deliver without the assistance of a pinch-hitter, And don't let anybody tell you that "Shiner" Johnston's days are over as a ball player. "Shiner" went in there and turned in a fairly good per- formance for a fellow whose days at the game are supposed it be all over. Oh yes, Johnston can still play ball. When Al Heckman, the Pride of Peterboro, came in to bat for Johns- ton in the seventh inning, the crowd gave him the merry razz, but the fair. haired wonder came through with a dandy drive. But, as one fan remarked after the gape, he was just one inning too soon with his hit. The sooner Umpire Colling puts the damper on the back talk, the more respect he will get from players and spectators. Colling is what is termed as "a good head," but he takes tco much back talk from the players and it doesn't look any too well irom the stands. If Colling would lay down the law and enforce it a little more, he would not be | made the target of so many remarks. It's all right to be a good fellow, but there's a limit to everyone's patience ,even an umpire's. There will be no use writing to John B. Foster, Billy Evans or any other of the great celebrities of baseball from now on. There are two or three ardent Kingston fans who occupy promiment seats in the bleachers at the C.0.B.L. games who know all there is to know about baseball--that is, to hear them talk. Anyone desiring information should sit around there for a while and they would soon know who these master minds of the game are. » This evening at the Cricket Field the Gananoque and Kingston inter- mediates are scheduled to méet in a St. Lawrence League fixture. The class of ball in this league has improved since the second halt of the race started and the team should be able to put up a pretty fair brand of ball this evening.
