. WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 6, THE DAILY 'TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE THIRTEEN - LEGION TAKES LEAGUE LEADERSHIP--COMBINES SURPRIS Legionnaires Blank UAWA. In Last League Meeting To Move Up Into First Position Alf Hiller and Jim Ross || Stage Great Pitchers' Battle -- Each Allows Only 4 Safe Hits -- Turner's Good Throw Saves Shutout For Le- gion -- Errors Very Costly to Union Team In probably the last meeting of the two big guns in the local Inter. "A" Softball set-up last night, Le- gionnaires gave out a 4-0 shutout to the UAW.A, Alf. Hiller was on mound for the Legion and he gave up four hits in registering his shutout. He had one bad frame, that the fifth in which a run almost scored, but for some great outfield play. Hiller had only three strikeouts; but his team played almost errorless ball in back- ing him up. Jim Ross did the pitching for the Union and allowed one more hit than did Hiller, but his team com- mitted seven errors and that was the whole story in a nutshell. Legion burst the string of goose- eggs in the last of the fourth when Turner led-off with a single, Mec- Conkey got to first on an error to the first baseman, that moved Tur- ner to third. Bidgood was hit by his own batted ball and was called out» Jubenville conked a double to score both runners. He tried to score himself, but was cut-off at the plate. In the top of the fifth the Union made a great try for that needed rally when they got two men on base and Locke boomed a double into left fleld. Weatherup thought he could make home on the play, but a quick retura made him out at " the plate. That was the end of the + rally. In the last of the sixth inning the Legion got their last two runs as McConkey singled to center, and was followed by Bidgood who got to first on another error. Evidently Fred is still playing Baseball since he took a lead-off in this case and was lucky enough to get back to first base unnoticed. 0 outs and then another error told the tale, as Price threw wildly at second in an attempt to make an out there and scored one runner. The other came in when Price bobbled again, on his throw to first. Union came close again in the top of the seventh, but they didn't score and Hiller kept his shutout. : R.H.E. UAWA. .....

CRACK SCORERS CAN TELL YOU! . Windsor, Ont, Aug. 8 (OP).--A hit or an error? If it happens in any. of Essex . County's eight major baseball and softball leagues, the decision will be : made by some member of the Western Ontario Scorers' Associa- . tion, a 20-year-old organization . probably unmatched anywhere in .- the province. Last year its 18 active members kept track of the average of more than 1,000 players. This season the association is handling an average of 68 games a wéek and looks to a record of 1,700 come playoff time in . September. . "As far as we know, we're the only ~ outfit of this kind in Ontario," said Harvey Pare, baseball.loving secret. ary of the association, Patterned after a long-established « scorers' organization in neighboring Detroit, the association operates . throughout the length and breadth - of Essex County--and admits the : Western Ontario tag may be a bit " misleading, The 18 members--and seven In. active members--have won a repu- tation for impartiality and for 801 business methods. The as. soca has a contract with each of the eight leagues, calling for $5 plus transportation for every base. ball game, $2 for city softball games and two hours' notice of postpone- . ment of any game, Pare estimated the scorers' aver- - age income at $12 a week each. . New men start by scoring 'three games with veteran members of the association, If the recruits are - found capable, they become spare scorers and are. assigned to minor softball games. Minor baseball 'as- signments come next, then big-time games of the Windsor and Essex County Baseball Leagues. Indirectly, the W.O8.A. has be- come a busy public relations organi. zation.

By JOHN W, SIFTON Canadian Press Staff Writer Winnipeg, Aug. 6--CP)~--Hoc. key fans across Canada have been speculating on which team will represent the Dominion at the Olympic Games in London next year--and since Avery Brund- age"s blowoff about figure-skat. er Barbara Ann Scott's car some have wondered if there is a top. flight team which meets his strict definition of an "amateur." Harvey (Winnipeg Free Press) Dryden wonders why hockey of- ficials in Manitoba have not pres. sed the case of their flyers for the Olympic trip, He says that with Montreal Royals and Cal- gary Stampeders out of the run. ning--they have said their boys were paid and roughly how much --Flyers are the top team of the "amateur" clubs left, "Avery Brundage himself could hardly omplain if he saw the 'honorarums' they received at the close of the season , . . they scarcely pald the boys carfare." Dryden believes that if they cared to stretch the point a lit- tle Flyers might even qualify un- der the miserably outdated de- finition of an "amateur" that Avery and his pals hatched out. Pigskin Patter Tony (Winnipeg Tribune) Allan says Toronto Argonauts' jaunt to Winnipeg for a pair of games with Winnipeg Blue Bombers at the end of the month may result in a better understanding of Eas- tern football methods and style of play in the West. Western fans have always been of the opinion that football as played in the East has nothing in its favor. Allan says this is based largely on the fact that the Grey Cup final has always been played in the East and Western fans have not had the opportunity of seeing the Eastern-style game, He says the Eastern teams which have come West for exhi- bition games in previous years have done little to change West- ern opinion -- rather they have been harmful. The old two-bucks- and.a kick-style is a dead issue in the West and after seeing Hamilton Tigers of a few years ago the idea was firmly implant- ed here that that was Eastern football, . 'ontreal Alouettes were regarded as an 'exception to the rule last fall. Allan says he hopes the Argo team which meets Bombers here is the "original New York cast" which took the Grey Cup final last fall, "Without guys like Krol and Copeland they'd be nothing more than an inferior road show." Casting And Trolling Stan (Winnipeg Free Press) Bentham tells of a recent inter. view with Douglas -Gleason, sales manager of a bait company in Minneapolis, Bentham says Glea- son told him Canadian anglers do not work for their fish -- they are content to sit in a boat trol- ling and wait for the fish to come to 'hem. American fishermen on the other hand have to work. They cast for their quarry. Bentham says the official be. lieves this is the reason why Am- erican visitors get good results from waters which Canadians re- gard as poor fishing ground, Ontario Riflers In 1st Place Ties At Long Branch By ROLAND BOURHIS - Canadian Press Staff Writer Long Branch Ont., Aug. 6 -- (CP)--Heavy firing continued today in the Ontario Rifle Associ. ation's annual meet, resumed for the first time since 1929, as ex- pert military marksmen {from many parts of the Dominion con- tested historic shoots.

Sports Roundup | By CHICK HOSCH Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 6 (AP) --Paul (Bear) Bryant, Kentucky's young football coach, at first glance ap- pears to have scored the south's greatest victory since Bull Run. A tentative roster of 48 freshman gridders lists 27 "Yankees," includ- ing nine from Pennsylvania and 10 from West Virginia. In fact, he got an, entire "all-state" backfield from the latter state and a dozen others made various "honor" exams. To go with those 48 yearlings, Bryant has 28 lettermen and about 20 reserves from last year, which ought to rank his team fairly close to the top this fall. * Hippety Hop Cliff Hopp of Hastings, Neb., bro- ther of baseball's Johnny and foot- ball's Harry (Hippety), has entered 'Georgia. He's a freshman halfback ---the Bulldogs will sport a brother act of three Reids from Hamilton, O, this fall in Bernie, Floyd and Ernie . . , But the brightest Ohio star in Wally Butts' ballyard at the moment appears to be Bobby Wals- ton, a prep halfback star last year at Columbus.
