Page 6 THE OAKVILLE-TRAFALGAR JOURNAL Thursday, August 23, 195 hursda MILTON TAKES AS OAKS BOOT Carter Takes Over In a shakeup decided upon by the committee in charge of the intermediate club and ap- proved by the directors of the Oakville Baseball Assn., 'Toobey' Carter last Saturday succeeded Al Yarnell as playing manager of Oakville's Oaks. Yarnell, how- ever, will continue to offer his t slants to the hurling cause Oaks into the playdown rounds. Carter, as the 0B.A who was at the helm at Clark- swing son Saturday, promptly ordered practice sessions, and the en- tire squad was on hand for Sat- urday's workout. Norm will soon have a new "old" face in the lineup, as perennial Dougie Wil- son dons flannels to help bol- ster the sagging outfield, weak- ened by a shoulder injury to Benny Languay. The club meets Clarkson at Wallace park Wed- nesday night in the second game of the Halton "A" playoff. ~® Fans who had hoped that Oak- ville ks had managed to get rid of all their jittery baseball in the opening game of the Milton series were doomed to disappoint- ment last Friday night, as Co- Ops took full advantage of no less than 13 Oak miscues to romp to a 13-7 decision and the Halton county loop championship. With Milton rated as a "C" club, how- ever, the loss had no effect on HALTON TITLE BALL AROUND the Oaks O.B.A pirations Actually, the Oaks outhit their rivals 13-10 in this third and de- ciding tilt, and had jumped a 6-0 lead by the end of the third frame, Then the entire club fell apart at the seams as it stumbled through one of the season's sloppiest fielding displays in a perfor- mance that must have set hurlers Mark Pollock and Al Yarnell back on their heels, Mark tossed until the sixth, spacing five hits, but the avalanche of bobbles nullified his efforts, as they did those of Yarnell in the latter stages, Ken Pollock with a triple and single, Harry Herd with a homer and George Stott with a double were the big Oak hitters. * playdown as- grog | It would appear that Bob Mc- Kay,. erstwhile. Brave. playing- coach, may well be Calgary Stam- peders' first string flying wing when the western clubs swing into their regular schedule. Bob started against Argos in that high scoring 36-35 exhibition tilt, and Hal Walker reports he came up with his full quota of nice tack- les. Les Lear is known to think highly of the ex-Argo, and he is sure to have every opportunity to grab a regular berth. Fastball fans who watched the peppery Burke squad edge Water- down, last year's Ontario champs, in the first game of their OB.A. playoff round last Thursday night, stoutly maintain it was the best exhibition of sport seen in Busby park in many a long day. Kenny Crew tossed a sweet brand of ball in earning his 2-1 win, and got topflight support from his hench- men. ® ® 0 The Oakville rod and gun club, anxious to press the conservation part of it's program, pointed out recently that motorboats racing up the creek at high speeds don't tend to add to the well-being of the finny population. Signs are posted aldng the bank noting that the speed limit is 5 miles per hour, but sportsmen claim that limit is being ignored by some craft. The new club has now a membership of 75 members, and you may be OAKVILLE C C LOSES IN HIGH SCORING ST CATHARINES MATCH Ridley College cam-o- inst the powerful St. Cath- CO. last Saturday, Oak- ville cricketers emerged on the wrong end of the season's highest scoring match. lads who like to open that motor up for all itll give out.

Ken Pollock collected a triple and a single, Paul Gilliam a pair of doubles, and Denny Camm two singles for the winners. Jack Wil- son tossed 5-hit ball for the Oaks, with only Milton's Art Melanson being able to solve his deliveries twice. 'When Bob Hooper, firstsacker for Snow Construction juniors, was hit on the forearm with a hard inshoot in the Hamilton Crawfords game a week ago Tues- day night, umpire Cliff Hewson waved him back to the plate when Bobby started to jog down to first. In spite of the very appar- ent fact that Hooper was in: pain, Hewson adamantly maintained that the ball had hit his bat. Hoop carried on, woke up the next day with a very sore arm. It was not until Saturday, however, that he found out it had been broken. He will be lost to the team for at least six weeks.
