LON: STRING BROKEN Lindsay Stops Transporters' Undefeated Streak 19-Game By BOB RIFE LINDSAY -- Lindsay Merchants proved to everyons last night that they ap just abofit as gi a club as theywere called by their Coach Andy WViddis before the Lakeshore Intermdiate Baseball season open- ed, whin they edged the Oshawa Transpates 2-1 in an overtime thriller, It ws the first defeat for the Transpeters this season after they hal chalked up a win streak 19 ganes long. Cec Fall, speed-ball right-hander, was the losing pitcher, but deserv- ed a nuch better fate. His mates outhit 'he enemy and twice had the baes loaded. Once with none out, amd the other time with just ont out. . . but on both occasions, Lindsar came up with a double- play t« erase the threat. STANIOUT PLAYERS Joe lowrey, the winni itcher, and hi battery - mate Al nzies were 'he standouts for the Mer- chants Lowey not only pitched the win, but le the club at bat with two hits 'in three tries and scored the winning run. Menzies handled Low- rey swerbly and played his great- est dfensive game of the year, doing the pivot work in both those big dwuble - plays. The Transporters took a 1-0 lead in thefirst inning when Frank Var- ga ld-off with a single through the shortstop spot into left field. He sble second, but Coggins went down short to first. Bill Cook, who pacet the losers at the plate with three hits in four trips, singled to cenre and scored Varga. Ccok was then tossed out on a steal and Jozkoski flied out to end the rally. i Lindsay rallied for: the tying run in the bottom of the second inning when Al Menzies started things with a base on balls. Joe Stewart sacrificed him to second and after Hank DeBois went down on strikes, Vic Jewell singled into centre on a play that saw three men stand- ing around the ball doing an Al- honse-Gaston act while it dropped tween them. Menzies scored all the way from second as the ball rolled deep. Junior West fanned and the in- ning was over. Oshawa tried for a rally in the fourth when Cook singled, stole sec- ond and reached third when Joz- singled. Meason grounded out and Jozkoski moved to second. Brabin was hit by the pitcher and the bases were: loaded with one out. FIRST DOUBLE PLAY Barnes grounded the ball to the pitcher. Lowrey tossed to Menzies for one out, and Al flipped to first- base for the twin-killing that stop- ped the Transporters cold. In the top of the fifth, McArthur walked. Hall gained, first on an error and Varga walked to load the bases with none out. Brian Cogains grounded to the mound and Lowrey again tossed to Men- zies for one and the relay went to Edger at first for the d-p. Cook flied out to end the rally. That was all the damage the Transporters could manage and time ran out in the seven-inning game. The teams played overtime . . . they went into the eighth inning of this twi-light tilt (minus flood- lights). Coggins grounded out, Cook sin- gled to centre, but was caught stealing second and then Jozkos- ki flied to centre and the top of the eighth was represented by a goose-egg on the scoreboard. HALL IN FORM Cec Hall looked great in the bot- tom of that inning. He struckout West and Wickets in order. Joe Lowrey, his enemy pitcher, looped one into right field apd Etcher took it on the first bounce. Lowrey stole second under a high throw from McArthur, who seemed to sense the play and was thus worried about the toss. Bill Edger then blasted the ball through the mound back to second. Coggins went to his right for the ball . . . made the pick and tried for a quick toss at first. The ball went wild into the crowd and Lowrey scored from second with the win- ning run. The game was over, the Tsansporters lost their first game, to Lindsay 2-1, Their next scheduled fixture tak- es place this Sunday afternoon at Civic Stadium at 2.30 p.m. agaist er- the Oshawa (Intercounty) chants.

"The winner of the British Open, with rounds of 70 and 68 for a 282 final score at ~~ » oustie, Sco! amd... The fans listened in silence like it waits for the voting of ring officials after a fight. When the announver delivered the punch line ... "is Ben Hogan," a surge of excitement spilled out in a roar, 10,754 voices strong. Even the Yanks and Washington players paused to listen. t was the same story in the Associated Press office Fiiqay. Small knots of people crowded in front of the radio printer, bringing the dramatic story across the ocean from Carnoustie. , "I haven't seen anything like this since Bobby Thomson hit the home run off Ralph Branca" said the man at the desk. Normally the copy. boys pay no more attention to golf scores than to the latest prices on the cotton market. But they too milled around the printer to ask, '"how's Hogan loin." The men who normally cover | Native Dancer at the horse track or Rocky Marciano in the prize ring pounded out running accounts and new leads from the material funnelled in from Scotland. It was World Series day in July. The afternoon papers, Staggerin under the weight of the red an ack headlines about the latest Moscow purge, found generous space for the Hogan story on page one. Everybody loves a champ who can get off the floor and win. The went wild when Jersey Joe Wal- cott, the old, pappy guy, finally won the heavyweight title. They cheered old Johnny Mize when he trundled off the bench to help the Yanks win the series last, October. And they are going all out for Hogan, who barely esca death when his car was hit by a bus in 1949, came back to add the British Open to his U.S. Open and Masters' victory for a 1953 "triple slam." There is no question that Hogan's stirring triumph, won the hard way by coming from behind, in a land far from home, kindled the imagination of the man in the street like no other golf event in years. IS THIS' CRICKET? A Canadian Sports Scribe Gives His Impressions of "Test Fever" John Derr, Director of Sports, | With the permission of publishers CBS Radio, is in Carnoustie, Scot- land, covering t he British Open Golf Champoinships. During his travels, Derr also surveyed other British Spopis, expecially cricket. His brea cast report follows in art. Everything is British sports this week took a back seat to the final of the second Cricket Test match with Australia. Now, I know that we don't usually talk about cricket on this program, but maybe we are missing something. The Test matches get great attention from everyone--sports fans and non- sports fans--even more than the World Series back home, I think. I was first impressed with the importance of the test match when high over the Atlantic. Our BOAC Stratocruiser had just left Gander when a steward came through the lane, holding out a sheet of pager, 'om the plane's radio, he had learned that Britain and Australia had drawn of the fifth day at Lord's cricket field. This apparent- ly was unexpected and was great news to most of the BOAC passeng- ers. Giants Climb Fast In Winning Streak By BEN PHLEGAR Asociated Press Sports Writer Nw York Giants, who floundered in tie second division the first half of ne season, suddenly have in- vite] themselvés into the National Lealue pennant race with a seven- game winning streak. Stirting with 'their 20-6 rout of Broklyn Dodgers last Sunday, the New Yorkers have gained such morentum during the week that they may roll into fourth place befde the All-Star game vacation whih begins after Sunday's games. Fiday night they invaded Brook- lyn iid mopped up on the Dodgers on teir home grounds. They trail the irst-place Bums by 6% games and/meet them again today and Suny. : S4 (the Barber) Maglie, who spedalizes in tormenting the Dod- gers gave them just six hits Fri- , day night in a 6-1 triumph. But the Dodgers extended their home- runjitting streak to 24 games--- oneshort of the major league rec- ord~when Roy Campanella hit one in tie second inning. . Tie loss cost Brooklyn a full gare of its slender first-place lead ove' Milwaukee Braves who whip- pedthird-place St. Louis 5-2. Des- fits six errors Philadelphia Phil- ies clung to fourth place with a 13-3decision over Pittsburgh. (inig into todcy's games the Doders hold a two-game edge oveithe Braves, 3% over the Card- in~'. and 5% over Philadelphia. Cafty Ken Raffensberger hurled h's ist major league shutout to give Cincinnati a 6-0 victory over Chiago in the front half of a twi- lightnight twin bill but a three- run homer by Ralph Kiner helped the Cubs win the nightcap 4-3. In the American League the lead- ng New York Yaknees gained a half-game on their nearest rivals, Chicago White Sox and Cleveland Indians, who split a doubleheader. The Yankees defeated Washington 6-1. Cleveland beat Chicago 3-0 in 10 innings on Bobby Feller's first shutout in two seasons and the 42nd of his career. The White Sox scored 10 runs in the seventh in- ning of the second game and won it easily 16-5. Boston outlasted Phil- adelphia 3-2 in 12 innings and St. Louis Browns, who haven't lost to the Tigers in Detroit this year, beat them again 8-4. The Yanks now lead by 5%. Warren Spahn posted his 11th victory of the season against only three losses at the expense of the Cardinals who were all set to grab second place from the supposedly faltering Braves. Eddie Mathews hit his 26th home run -for Mil- waukee. Feller bested Billy Pierce in the first game at Chicago although Pierce had a no-hit for seven innings. Lvke Easter and Al Rosen drove in the three Cleveland runs in the top of the 10th. The 10-run seventh inning in the secagd game featured Minnie Minoso's three-run home and three Cleveland errors. Dale Mitchell of the Indians ran his hitting safeties in both halves doubleheader. The Yankees suddenly their extra-base range against their old teammate Bob Porterfield who ave up home runs to Irv Noren, Bon Bollweg and Yogi Berra. of the streak to 21 games with | found of The London Daily ail, we thought you might be interested in some of their reports on this final match. The principal story is writ- ten by Sir Don Bradman, himself a great cricketer in his day. The headline, three columns wide on page one, says "This was drama almost beyond endurance." It quotes Bradman as saying 'My heart is still pounding." Another story tells of the sus- pense: 'Bailey, out. Just over half an hour left. And Brian Johnson, the TV commentator, was speakin with constricted throat and obvi- ously brushing away the remnants of fingernails." Now, doesn't that sound like some baseball broadcasters in the last of the ninth? The article picks up: 'Brown was out. We watched Wardle take that long, lonely walk to the wicket. Did he know that several million pairs of eyes were fixed on him, willing him to middle the ball, and for heaven's sake, old chap, to take it easy?" "6:30 cat last; Wardle, the star of the moment." In his report Bradman tells of a throw from the outfield that made the umpire run. He says: "To see Frank (that's the umpire, Frank Lee) trying everything (to avoid being hit) one would have thought he was being chased by a guided missile. At least it was an indication that he possesses the umpire's first requisite -- eysight." So you see they rib umpires everywhere. \ Perhaps the part of Bradman"s story that was most interesting, however, was this paragraph near the close of a long, long report. He says: 'Tomorrow, when my brain clears and my heart reduces the velocity of its beat to normal, I shall write what I hope to be a more lucid analysis than I could possibly do now." That interests me. In America, the expert reporter must immedi- ately Rive his lucid analysis. He must know why a pitcher folded or whatever almost immediately. And if one is broadcasting an event, there is no time for even a quick breather before on must, by habit, be critically analytical. Or so it would seem. Here, the expert excuses himself, asks a day to let his blood pressure return to normal, then explains what really happened. Yesterday's Stars By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Pitching: Bobby Feller, Cleve- land Indians, pitched the 42nd shut- out of his career--tops 'in the m.ajors--over Chicago 3-0 in 10 in- nings. Batting: Dale Mitchell, Cleve- land Indians, ran his hitting streak to 21 games, only seven short of the all-time Cleveland record, with safeties in both halves of a double- ader against Chicago. \ CHECKING SPORT By BOB RIFE Vv We think the best way of ex- pressing the Transporters' first defeat of the season came from the mouth of Bill Cook who played centre-field for the crew. Donkey baseball the man called it, and that's they way the Transporters played. They didn't have their heads up the team who'd beat 'em be- ore the season was over... ook advantage and did just al AccordingtoLakeshore League rules, a twilight game where there are no lights is complete after seven innings. In this manner the Merchants scored one run in the bottom of the. first overtime inning and won 2-1. By the by, Bill Cook, the chap who remarked about eh donkey baseball, was referring to outfield defensive play by himself. His batting left little to be deisred. . .three hits in four trips! Cec Hall, the losing pitcher was not to be blamed for this one. The small right-hand pow- erhouse was blowing 'em down as regular as anyone could ask. He just didn't get support... . offensively and in the last in- ming, defensively... .when he needed it. But don't take it away from Lindsay. They were short- handed. . . .Doug Loucks wasn't present and the bench was so short that at the start of the game, Coach Andy Widdis took his turn in right field. The big punch for the win- ners was supplied by fitcher Joe Lowery- and Al enzies Joe pitched good in the clutch his balloon stuff was tough to hit, and he led his team at the plate. . . even scoring the win- ning run! Menzies figured in the other Lindsay run and was rough defensively. He pivoted two double-plays that broke the Transporters' back. Both came with the bases loaded! Well, that one is over the hill the Transporters look ahead to that Sunday exhibitién game with the Merchants at Civic Stadium at 2.30 p.m, We wonder who Ted "Dou- ble No-Hit"" Stone will be play- ing for in that game. "Tis rum- ored he's come to terms with the Merchants and will in all probability start their game in Brantford tonight. Vv CHECKLETS -- We hear that one of the reasons for the base- ball Kitchener Panthers playing the softball King Eddie Feign- er, is that the Canadian softball organization has ruled Eddie and his Court as pros and say that no Canadian amateur teams may play said club. Guess that's why we've not heard of him round here. The admission that he is pro and his playing the Panthers as much as says that the In- ter-county is pro . . . or has that alreddy been estabilsh- ed? See where the figure-skaters are getting back in the news again. Down in Cobourg they are running their annual sum- mer school for such types and among those present were Margaret Jean Carr of Co- bourg. She has done quite a bit of skating in pairs here at the Oshawa club. The Hamilton Cardinal in as- sociation with the St. Louis team are working on a scouting and tryout plan that will event- ually cover all of Ontario. This year they are holding camps in Valleyfield on August 7th and 8th, in Oshawa here at at the Civic Stadium on the 12th and 13th of the month and in Hamilton in the 14th and the 15th. It rather looks as if they want to get Canadian boys for the Hamilton team in an effort to boost their gates . . . though according to them as knows in the Mountain City, such action hasn't paid-off in the case of one much-publicized Frank Repchick. Remember him? The Mr. Confidence left-hander who pitched for Stephenson's Bruins in the North Toronto junior league against the Transport- ers. This coming Tuesday night should be another big one for Pat Milosh and the wrestling fans hereabouts. Seems that things went too badly last time out between Togo and Whipper, that Pat has decid- ed to bring in Timothy Geo- hagen to do the refereeing. And to back Tim's appear- ance . . . Togo is sure to beef .. . Pat will also have Ontario Athletic Commissioner Merv McKenzie on hand. In the semi-final bout, young Robert Duranton will take ol Firpo Zbysko. Duranton is Mr. Europe, and a better-looking muscleman would be hard to find. He's a very fast man with . the grip too . .. so the match should go well. . . . by Bob Rife. | Hyrcanuk | Shestowsky U.S. Wins In Davis Cup By DON MATHESON Canadian Press Staff Writer VANCOUVER (CP) -- With a United States victory assured, the American and Japanese Davis Cu teams experimented with second- stringers today in the wind-up of their best-of-five series. Captain Tony Trabert of Cincin- nati and Tim Brown of San Fran- cisco wrapped up the series Friday by defeating Kosei Kamo and Ats- hushi Miyagi 6-2, 6-2, 3-6, 6-3. Trabert edged Kamo and Ham Richardson downed Miyagi in the opening singles matches Thursday. For today's singles, Trabert benched himself in favor of Brown, who had been slated for doubles activity only. Masanbbu Kimura, 30, will see his first action of the series as he replaces Miyagi. Kamo, the Japanese standout in singles and doubles play so far, will face Richardson in the second match. The 21-year-old youngster, who ran up a two-set lead against Trabert Thursday before the U.S. Navy veteran found himself, also sparked the rally that gave the Japanese doubles team its only | set. Displaying a powerful serve, a | brilliant backhand and a leaping | overhand kill, Kamo broke Trab- ert's service with two sparkling volleys in the second game. _ Trabert's booming serves dom- inated the rest of the match as he ran off two games at love in the final set. Lakelanders Have Plenty of Power Leading the Intermediate | | apn THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE, Saturday, July 11, 1958 14 SPORT FROM BRITAIN British Horse Owner's Experiment May Prove His Theory Sound One By ALAN HARVEY Canadian Press Staff Writer LONDON (CP) -- A horse named Anhajo won a two-year-old race in California, and the result rip- pled thousands of miles across the Atlantic. In London, turf enthusiast Ron- ald Barnett picked up his racing paper, cheerfully noted the details and chilked up first-round success in an experiment designed to prove the pre-eminence of British blood- stock. Anhajo is one of three Irish thoroughbreds air-shipped to the United States last year. Barnett sent them to support his pet theory--that British horses, given a proper start in life, can race the legs off American steeds on their own home grounds. NEEDS BREAKING IN Barnett claims British bloodlines still are the world's best. All you have to do, he argues, is fly the horses td the other side early enough so they can be "broken'" there and brought up to racing the American way. Many transatlantic turf invaders have failed in the past because they couldn't get used to the changed conditions, such as dirt tracks instead of turf. So Barnett sent Anhajo and two other yearlings to California last year to be handled by Willie Mol- ter, a leading American trainer. "It cost me plenty of money to do it," says Barnett, "but from what has happened so far I think I may get it all back with inter- est." Anhajo, a brown colt by Star- | from St. | section ot the Lakeside Ladies' Soft- | dust out of Inkling, gets his name | American League, won't join the his daughter Andrea, the next two for his wife Hazel, formerly of Winnipeg, and the last two from Longden's first name. Longden raised in Taber, Alta., is a frien of Barnett, FLYING FIRST In the first race of his life on June 11, the imported Irish racer was pitted against the Calumet Farms fancied Seamus in a $5,500 two-year-old race at Hollywood Park. The Irish youngster was left lengths behind at the start but was a flying first at the finish, covering the five furlongs in the fast time of 59 1-5. His next effort may be in a fantastically rich juvenile race 31 Garden State Park, N.J., this all. Anhajo, as befits a horse seeking to boost Anglo-Irish bloodstock, carries chauvinistic silks for the London-born Barnett--"white with the red rose of England front and back." * Barnett, an internationally-min- ded aviation executive, has had a $45,000 offer for Anhajo, but re- jected it. The overture came from Ray Bell, ex-Wyoming cowboy who two years ago raced the fleet Windy City II. This year Bell has a two-year-old called The Pie King which looks as though it may be ge of the top baby racers in Eng- and.

WINS ON FIRST TRY Ben Hogan Wins British Open In History-Making Per y TOM OCHILTREE B CARNOUSTIE, Scotland (AP)-- |of amateur Frank Stranahan of | Ben Hogan has proved, even to the skepitcal Scots in this birth- place of the game, that he is the modern day wonder of golf. The Texan, four times winner of the U. S. Open, shot a magnificent 282, four strokes better than any- body at Carnoustie, to win the British Open championship Friday Yih a par-busting final round of Through the stretch drive he ig- nored chills, influenza and aches from' old injuries received in a 1949 auto accident to capture the coveted title in his first try--some- thing no other American ever was able to do. The great Bobby Jones, winner in 1927 and 1930, was among the also rans on his first attempt. The old master, Walter Hagen, a four- time winner, finished 55tl¥ on his first trip and Gene Sarazen, who took the 1932 title, failed to qualify in his first attempt. STRONG FINISH The wiry Texan won with a fan- tastic finish such as has marked his many triumphs in the U.S. Starting the day two strokes back of Britons Eric Brown and Dai Rees, he collared the field with a morning round 70 and then came home with a parade of birdios, as his international foes faded. He finished four strokes ahead Toledo, Ohio; tive Welshman, Australia's Peter Thomson, and Antonio Cerda of Argentina. Hogan's card for the final holes: Hogan, out 444 434 434-34; Hogan, in 444 254 344-34-68. COMPLETES GRAND SLAM In this triumph, Hogan com- pleted a 1953 grand slam compar- able to the four-tournament sweep by Atlanta's Bob Jones, who won the British Amateur and Open and the U.S. Amateur and Open in 1930. He won the Masters tournament this spring at Augusta, Ga., with a record score and then captured his fourth U.S. Open at Oakmont, thus tying the winning records of Willie Anderson and Jones. On his last round Hogan rang in four birdies, one of them a 35- foot chip shot from off the green on the par four fifth. He never went over par. Playing grimly and mechanic- ally, smoking cigarettes chain- fashion, the Texas shotmaker also Bad birdies on the sixth, 13th and th. On the par five, 567-yard sixth, he walloped a drive 300 yards down the middle. His approach fell 80 yards from the pin. He chopped within three feet of the hole and sank the putt. Dai Rees, diminu- formance This was one of his great holes of the day. He was driving with amazing power throughout the round. . On the 167-yard 13th, Hogan laid his tee shot 12 feet from the pin and he calmly/canned it for his birdie deuce. SCOTS LIKE HOGAN The Scots took Hogan to their heart as they saw him limp down the last fairway. Courage and the love of golf are two qualities highly prized in this north country. Coming off that last green, where he shot a birdie four and with the cheers of the crowd ringing in his ears, Hogan said: "I'm happy but so very, very tired. Don't even mention the pos- sibility of a. playoff. I don't think I can make it." At that time, Antonio Cerda of Argentina was behind Hogan with a flickering chance to tie. But Cerda finished with a 286 for a four-way tie for second with Frank Stranahan, Toledo, O., ama- teur; Dai Rees, chubby, good- natured Welshman and Peter Thomson, Australia's promising young golfer. Next came Roberto de Vinceno of Argentoine with a 287. Sam King, former British Ryder Cup- per, followed with a 290 and de- fending champion Bobby Locke of South Africa with a 291.
