r PAGE TWELVE THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE | 2PORT | DNAPSHOTS FLASH: We have just received word that they'll "turn the first sod" at the Kinsmen Civic Memorial Stadium, tomorrow (Wed- fiesday) afternoon at two o'clock. We haven't heard yet just who will officiate at the ceremony, since the Mayor is out of the city but at least the news that they're finally going to get started, is something, Now the interest in the Stadium should increase steadily. E-.. * * + . Just when it looked as if our chances of reaching that objective of $2,000.00 py Dominion Day, were mighty slim indeed, along came a few of "the female of the species" among Oshawa's large group of ardent sport fans and real sport boosters, to help us over the $1,800.00 mark and their memberships, together with a generous donation from another group, puts us well on the way to $1,900.00. If we can have as good a day or better even, tomorrow, then we'll be in a good position to "make the grade" after all. Yesterday Sport Snapshots Club members include four of Oshawa's topnotch five-pin bowlers, who back a few years ago were active as players when ladies' softball was a big activity around these parts. Oshawa has many gal sport fans such as Ef. Hezzelwood, Ann Reece, Marj Tribble, Ann Hele, etc. We'd like to see a lot more of those in the 'etc. group" come along with their memberships. "Ab" Hele, who played softball in Oshawa's first juvenile league, quite aNfew $8ars ago now, also joined up yesterday. We also received a fine $25.00 dénation from R. B. Reed and Sons «(local florists). "Dick," the senior member of the firm, is a keen hockey and ball fan, has helped sponsor various local teams of youngsters in past years and while his own sports aétivity is curling, he wants to see a 'sports stadium in Oshawa also, as dé his three sons, Morey, Henry and Ted. Our thanks, on behalf of the Kinsmen Club, to these latest Snapshot Club members. Now can we have about a dozen more, today? : * * Lo Big local sports attraction tonight is the lacrosse game at the Oshawa Arena, when the Huntsville Hunters' visit the Oshawa Senior "B" team for a group schedule fixture. The locals hit a bad case of drop-itis up in Huntsville on Saturday night, with the forwards the worse hit. They couldn't hold, catch mor carry a ball, let alone shoot one and the result was that the Osh ttack was missi only five goals resulted and although Cliff Chambers and his de- fensemen tried hard, the best they could do was limit Huntsville to 'eight goals. It was the second time the locals have been beaten away from home. Tonight, Huntsville plays here and the Oshawa jgutted-stick squad will be out for revenge. Those who saw Satur- day's game in Huntsville, tell us that the "Hunters" have a couple of lacrosse stars who could catch a place on any club, 4 L 3 * The rains dampened a lot of the diamonds so badly last night that some of the midget .and bantam games had to be postponed. However, a few of the Minor Association teams must have been able to play for ths scorebooks were turned in. The "City Championship Series" game, scheduled for Alexandra Park, between the Maqtor City Cab Juveniles apd the Oshawa Merchant Seniors, was one of the games postponed due to: wet grounds. However, the Intermediate "A" softball league tilt, beéfween UAWA and GM-Coilts, went on as scheduled, with the latter téam nosing out Union 4-2 in an exceptionally tight tussle. Each team hfid nine hits but runs were scarce because the hurlers were good in the pinches and each team had a lot of men left stranded on the bases. Cblts made better use of their blows and were slightly better in the figld, which gave them their margin. = * + * = The Merchants are not playing their COBL game as scheduled, against Batawa down in Belleville tonight. They are going to play ft on Thursday (July 1) 'as part of a doubleheader, since they were flready booked to play one game on Thursday anyway. On Friday, they play down in Kingston and on Saturday, they are scheduled %o play Batawa back here at Alexandra Park. Yipe! What a lousy schedule! , BY Geo. H. Campbell + J ° Speaking again of the bicycle races, the Canadian dirt track title events, held here on Saturday, we'd like to congratulate the Victor Cycle Club for getting suéh a fine turnout. We think that they should have been responsible for having policemen on hand to keep the people off the track and they should also have had some snow-fence in position. There is absolutely no fence around Alexandra Park track at the present time, For the most part, this is as it should be, for it makes a much prettier view and there are only about four or five days in the year (bike races, track meet, motorcycle races and Oshawa Fair horse races) when a fence is really needed, but a temporary fence should be erected when the track is to be used and a crowd on hand--just to keep curious, stubborn people from standing on the track. The Toronto officials were 50-50. Some of them were obviously working very hard and » knew what they were doing. However, the races came too fast, one- after-the-other fo give the competitors adequate rest and if they had been mixed up differently, it would have been better. In addition, the names of the competitors should have been announced before each heat or race, so that the fans could know what was going on. This wasn't done until the program of races was almost half finished. Next time, these things should be arranged in advance, along with the competitor's . number published in the program, which could be sold at a small fee, to the spectators. fr LJ * * SPORTS SHORTS--Jack Bromwich precluded all hope of their beinf an all-American final in the men's singles tourney at Wimbledon.

Keeler Does Nice Mound Chore For Union But Colts Get Hits In Right Spots-- Both Teams Leave Plenty of Runners Stranded On Bases--V. McLaughlin's + Double and Homer Big Hits For Winners GM-Colts took over undisputed possession of second place in the local major softball circuit, last night at Alexandra Park, when they defeated U.AWIA. 4-2 in a keenly-fought contest-that saw both teams collecting mine safe hits but score only a few runs, stranded on the bases through lack of one more good hit in the right spot. Dean McLaughlin and Doug. Keeler opened the battle as rival hurlers. Union had one hit in each of the first three frames but good fielding, plus a double-play, kept them at bay. Colts had the same sort of luck, getting a runner on each time but never able to get him past second base. Homers Opens Scoring U.AW.A. broke the 0-0 deadlock in their half of the 4th when Sen- eco singled. He wags forced at 2nd by Gilbert and then Taylor smack- ed a line-drive homer, down the left-field foul line, to make it 2-0. Colts came right back in the bot- tom half of the 9th to score two runs to tie it up. Nelson beat out 8 bunt when Keeler threw wildly to 1st. Barker sacrificed to 3rd, and he scored when Dean McLaughlin singled. Barnes flied out to the infield and then Wilson was safe on an error. Verne McLaughlin then doubled, scoring brother Dean, to make it 2-2. "Preem" Whiteley took over the hurling job for the Colts in the 5th inning and he breezed along comfortably for the rest of the dis- tance, although threatened in the 8th and 9th. Colts took the lead in the 6th when Whiteley opened with a rous- ing two-bagger. Barnes sacrificed him to 3rd and he scored when "Snowball" Wilson flied out to cen- tre. Then Verne McLaughlin smacked a home-run drive toright- centre, to make it 4-2 and conclude the scoring fot the game. Nelson and Whiteley both con- nected safely in the 7th but noth- ing came of it and in the 8th, they went out in order on three pop flies. Union had a good chance in the 8th but poor base-running cost them their chance, Jimmie Loreno opened with a single and then "Moon" Mullen singled to left. Little's quick throw to Stark at 2nd nipped Loreno, who had drift- ed past the bag. Then Seneco flied to centre and Millen, who was away with the hit, thinking there were two out, was easily doubled off first base. In the 9th, with two men out, Bathe singled and then moved along when pinch-hitter Kovacs was safe on Price's high throw to 1st base. A wild pitch put the ty- ing runs in scoring position but on a passed ball, Bathe tried to scre and Nelson recovered: the ball, tossed it to Whiteley and covered the plate and Bathe was tagged as he slid in, to end the game. Hits Were Even Each team had nine safe hits, with Seneco, Taylor and Keeler getting two apiece for U.AW.A. Verne McLaughlin with & double and homer, was big man for Colts, while Whiteley aided his own cause with two hits in two trips to the plate. Ron Nelson also had two safe hitg for the winners.
