PAGE TWELVE THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE SATURDAY, JULY 19, 1947 CPORT NAPSHOTS : : -- That heavy storm last night washed out every local ball game sche- duled for the local diamonds, including the Beaches Fastball tilt between Bowles Lunch and GM-Colts. The Oshawa team travels to Toronto on Monday night, to meet Bowles Lunch and on Wednesday they clash with Tip Tops. The big Inter. "A" game tonight should attract a big crowd to Alexandra Park, to watch U.A.W.A. and Legionnaires clash in a league tilt. At the present time, Union has a half-game lead over the Legion, each having won 9 starts while U.A.W.A. has lost twice and Le- gicn have tasted defeat three times, A win tonight will put either team out in front by a small margin but they have to meet twice yet, after tonight's game, before the schedule is completed. It will likely be Doug. Keeler for Union against Tony Romaniski tonight, unless Jack McConkey | has returned from his honeymoon in time to go to the mound tonight. LN LJ] * Today's sport page carries the official standings in the local Inter. "A", Inter. "AA" and Junior "A" 1 The J jles standing isn't included, but that is a clear-cut 1,2, 3, race with Kiwanis Hornets well in front of Reed's Florists and Westmount Indians trailing badly. Also shown are the various schedules, including the games yet to be played. Team managers are asked to bear in mind, before grab- bing a ph to at A iation officials, that there have been many games rained out this summer and since 0.A.S.A. winners must be declared by the middle of August, it is necessary to get these post- poned games cleaned up at once, even if it does mean playing on very short notice or even two nights in succession for several teams. These conditions are particularly bad in the Inter. "A" and Inter. "AA" schedules. The balance of the Junior games yet to be played will be Grawn up next week. On Monday night, Fittings Jrs. visit Westmount and Brooklin Dodgers visit the Aces. In the Inter. "AA" loop, Skin- ners play Tannery at Cowan's Park on Monday night and North Oshawa plays Legion. In the Inter. "A" loop, U.A.W.A. meets White Eagles on Monday night in a game that means a lot to each team. LJ * + By the time you are reading this, the exhibition Juvenile game at Alexandra Park this Saturday afternoon between the Oshawa O.B.A. Juveniles and their Toronto visitors, the Century Cleaners, will be perhaps all over, since it's scheduled to start at 2.45 o'clock but there's nothing to prevent you getting up to Alexandra Park this evening in time to watch the Junior exhibition baseball tilt between Oshawa B'Nai B'Rith and Toronto Stantons, which is booked to start at 6.30 o'clock. By the way--there will be no gate admission, as advertised yesterday. Since there is also an Inter. "A" softball game up at Alex. Park tonight--the gates will be wide open and there'll be a silver collection at each game, * * LJ As was expected, the Oshawa lacrossers weren't quite good enough to win their league game over the Fergus Thistles, up in Fergus last night but they made a very good showing and the game should put them on razor-edge for their all important tilt this Tuesday night when Peterboro visits Oshawa Arena for a league tilt with the local boys. The gutted-stick boys from the Liftlock City are roaring right along on top of the heap in this group race and they have a very formidable record. However, the Oshawa boys have improved greatly since they met P o and extended them down there a couple of weeks ago and it wouldn't surprise us much to see the Oshawa boys hand the Petes a reverse here on Tuesday night. * LJ LJ SPORT SHORTS--Rogers Hornsby, playing for St. Louis Cards, bett: red the modern National League home-run record, by slamming out his 5th circuit drive of the season 25 years ago today.

ROLLER SKATING! © TONIGHT © MONDAY NIGHT BOX LACROSSE TUESDAY NIGHT PETERBORO vs. OSHAWA 845 p.m. Adults - 50c -- Children-25¢ OSHAWA LACROSSERS LOSE AT FERGUS Oshawa Scores First Goal of Game hut Thistles Prove Too Powerful Over the Long Haul Oshawa's 5 Goals Shared By As Many Players-- Scott, Hall and Black * Best For Homesters-- Losers Miss Chances Through Bad Shooting Penalties Galore, Many | wai "Of "Cheap" Variety -- Oshawa lacrosse club dropped a 15-5 decision to the Fergus Thistles last night in a Senior "B" schedule game, themselves before their home fans, for their only defeat of the season, sustained here in Oshawa two weeks ago. The Motor City boys opened the scoring on Luther. Vipond's goal but the homesters roared back and ran it to 5-1 in the first period and had it_8-1 before Robson got Oshawa's second tally late in the second. The tempo slowed down in the last half of the game but the homesters were, still much the better all the way. Marred By Penalties Officious refereeing and a -flock of cheap penalties for minor of- fences, marred the game, especially the first period when no fewer than 11 minors and one major penalty, were. meted out. Penalties proved a problem to the: Oshawa team, They were un- able to halt the classy homesters when an Oshawa man was in the sin-bin and they failed to take ad- vantage of the odd man when a Thistle was thumbed off. Most of Oshawa's play was of the individual variety and their attack was marred by wild passing and wretched shooting. Numerous good scoring chances were wasted with shots that weren't even on the net. Late in the game, tempers flared with two of the homesters drawing major penalties for their part in the fray that took place. Scoring Stars Oshawa - appeared a little better in the second half of the game but even then, they were outscored by the Thistles. Oshawa's five goals were shared by Luther Vipond, Willie Vipond, Ralph Cooke, Jack O'Brien and Ted Robson. J. Scott, M. Black and J. Halls, were the scoring stars for Fergus, Scott getting four goals while Halls had three. ' The teams:- OSHAWA ;. goal, Chambers; de- fense, L. Vipond and W.

ACHTING ARNS wwoaand oo Seasas BY THE BARNACJES The Midsummer Dinner of the Oshawa Yacht Club was very well attended Friday evening, about fif- ty members being present and sit- ting down to a dinner that would do justice to the best hotel in the country, The head table was tastefully de- corated in a. nautical fashion and relieved by a keautiful showing of roses. Seated here were the Flag Officers of the Club as follows, Commodore Lee Rolson, Rear- Comm. Claude Halleran, V-Comm. Sailing Harry Rose, Fleet Capt. Art, Corry, Fleet Capt. Power R. Santer, Treas. W. Switzer, Secre- tary Ian Clements and the Guest Speaker M. J. P. (Phil) Holloway. The evening was opened by the traditional toast to the King follow- ed by the fine dinner served by the 0.Y.C. canteen. Comm. Rolson was chairman and made a few brief re- marks to the members present per- taining to club spirit 'and co-oper- ation. Bill Switzer was then asked to introduce the 1347 members to those present. Mr. Phil. Holloway gave a very interesting talk to the members in- corparating the following points-- Desire to belong to a Club, Dues, Dis-interest, Decorum, Ribaldry, Criticism, Cooperation, Cliques and Fellowship. The points were all self-portrayed in his speech and in summing it up he boiled the whole thing down to one sentence 'each member bear his share of operating a Club." There was a fine sing-song at in- tervals during the dinner led by our able songster Mr, Bert Granik. At about 9:30 a movie program was started and for two hourg or so the members were treated to some very fine salling pictures. One of the highlights was the Grain Race in square riggers from Australia to England--the ship on which the picture was taken, making the trip in 86 days which is still standing as the record run for this voyage. The members were also hosts to the members of visiting ships in the Oshawa Harbour There were about nine out-of-town guests including R.C.Y.C. and R.H.Y.C. members, ORONO TEAMS ARE SHARING SUCCESS Orono, July 18--During the past week Orono sports organizations have been enjoying varied success.
