40 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE, Tuesday, Sepiember 8, 1953 LITTLE GUYS GO UP HIGH FOR ACTION The above "shot" shows just how the midget wrestlers make up for their lack of height. The little guys can jump as high as most of their big brothers can reach, taken at last Tuesday night's show, this picture shows Fuzzy Cupid (left) holding Little Beaver by the ears, while Cup- id's team-mate, Sky Low Low, leaps sky-high to administer a drop-kick. This is the kind of ac- tion that caused promoter Pat Milosh to sign up the midgets for a return engagment. Photo, contributed. SPORTS MENU "Everything from Soup to Nuts" by Geo. H. Campbell .SPORTS EDITOR It was quite a hectic sports week-end, this Labor Day week- end that has just passed, with all kinds of action on the local sports front and now that the various summer teams are "over the hump', we can look forward to crucial playoff games in the next few weeks, the World Series and ice in the Oshawa Arena by next week. Meanwhile, putting jce in the Oshawa Arena is not going to kill off the interest in the next few wrestling shows carded for Tuesday nights. Tonight's weekly presentation however looms as, the new attendance record for wrestling, at Oshawa Arena. The midget wrestlers are. back thete tonight, with Little Beaver and Tuffy McCrae taking on Fuzzy Cupid and Sky Low Low in a team bout. It's the semi-final event on the card but because the fans went so wild about the action these little guys supplied last week, tonight's midget bout will be a 45-minute affair, instead of the usual half-hour. In the main bout of the card, Timothy Geohagen and Lord Athol Layton are the opponents and this one will be a scorching main bout. Both are well liked by various groups of the local mat customers. Geohagen is a real favourite with one group while there's an equally large section of the fans who think Lord Layton can do no wrong. It should stimulate the enthusiam when they get down to business. Pat Flanagan appears in the pre- liminary bout against Al Warshaski and this one will get the night's action off to a flying start. But there'll be well. over 3,000 fans | on hand tonight just to see those! midgets in action for they really 'give'! . . ' Rain on Saturday washed out the Transporters' playoff game here. It was called off at the time Midland team was ready to leave because it was wet, muddy and cloudy. An hour later the sun came out and as it turned out, the diamond could have been prepared for the game, but by then it was too late. The Canadian bike-racing champion- ships had to be called off on Saturday afternoon which meant they crowded the entire nine- event card, plus all the heats, into one day, starting at eight o'clock yesterday morning. Fred Henry, Quéen City Club's ace rider and a Canadian Olympic team member last time over there, pulled an iron-man stunt. He was, hardly ever off his bike yesterday afternoon -- but he captured six Canadian champion- ships as well as the Victor Cycle Club Trophy, as All-Round Can- adian Champion, with a total of 45 points. Red-hcaded Dan Haw- | ley; a Junior from Toronto, Pulled an upset when he won the Cana- dian senior 10-mile championship, with a scorching burst for the last 500 yards, Oshawa's veteran Frank Ball was second.

Stock , car dirvers are just like people--they pick Saturday night for their blow-outs--or at least 'they did this week, at the weekly race card at Oshawa Raceways. Tire blow-outs took a heavy toll of the entries, with one or two forced to fall by the wayside in almost every race and then of course there were the usual crack- ups, caused by motor trouble, loss of control, etc. SPENCER WINS FEATURE : Ralph Spencer took the feature race on Saturday night, beating out Ted Race and Johnny Shirt- liff in a fast 20-lap affair that gave the fans plenty of excitement and thrills, George Bowers was lapped dway through the race when he hed into Joe Brennan's car, '| which had gone out of control. Bowers got back into the race and picked up the lap on. most of the cars, but he failed to overhaul the Spencer-Race-Shirtliff trio. Don McLelland spuh Normie Brioux out 'on the 8th lap in a smart bit of serious driving but on the 17th lap, Brioux came back to take McLelland, and himself, right out ef the race with a spin- out manoeuvre. Don "Fleming blew a tire and had to drop out, so did Dunc Mayo while both Malcolm Littlejohn and Phil Renwick had car trouble, Duncan Mayo and Phil Renwick finished one-two in the consolation race, with Brioux third and Shirt- liff in fourth slot. Ken Middleton was forced aut of this event with motor trouble. Brioux, who is riding a motor- cycle through "a wall of flame' as one of the CNE grandstand attractions, was late in arrivi and that's how he appeared in the THIRD GAME IN COBOURG Radio Park Pee Wees, Oshawa's representatives in the Ontario pro- incial Pee Wee softball champion ship playdowns, tied up their East- ern Ontario one final series with the Belleville lads, when they won a 10-7 decision at Radio Park here on Saturday afternoon. Third and deciding game of this round will be played on the Co- bourg softball diamond, Saturday afternoon. The game was a real tussle all taking an early lead and then clinching their victory with a 5-run rally in the fifth inning. Belleville .got one run in each of the first two frames, added two in the fourth and then came back in the sixth with three runs, after Radio Park had made it 10-4. In the 7th, the visitors had two run- ners on bases and two out, when the final out was made to end' the game. G. Wilson and G. Zedic scored the first two runs for Radio Park in the first inning and Teno and Wilson scored again in the second stanza. Oshawa Radio Park Pee Wees Beat Belleville, Even Series In the fourth inning, with the score 4-4 after Belleville had notch- ed their two runs, J. Zedic scored to break the tie and Radio Park had the bases loaded when Peters flied out to end the inning. Fegan opened the fifth for Osh- awa and then Kyle clicked. Gold- smith was retired by J Zedic, Teno. G. Wilson, G. Zedic .and March all came through to com- plete the 5-run splurge that broke up the game and gave Radio Park their margin. Both Peters and Hook pitched good ball for their teams and the large crowd saw these Pee Wees put on a real softball battle.

Oshawa XKelly's Admirals lost a heart-breaking 10-inning decision, 5-4 here at Storie Park on Satur- day afternoon, to bow out of the PWSU Junior playdowns as Toron- to Avon Sports took the round in two-straight games. Admirals lost the first game 5-3 at Sunnyside Park on Wednesday evening. Kirkpatrick, pitching brilliantly for the Avon's team, chalked up 17 strikeout victims over the 10- inning route, fanning a dozen bat- ters in the first five innings. Lyons pitched well for Oshawa also, chalking up a dozen strikeouts all told. A walk to Nosal to open the 5th, followed by Bull's single and a safe unt by Hodgson, loaded the bases for Admirals. Lyons popped up to the infield but Germond singl- ed and then with one out, an out- field error let the second run of the inning score, to put Oshawa even at 2.2. In the 7th, Lyons 'singled and Toronto Avon Sports Girls - Eliminate Kelly's Admirals Germdnd hit a homer to make it 4-3 for Admirals but they failed to scofe again. Avon's got singletons in the third and fifth frames, then again in the 7th and tied the score at 4-4 in the 8th on two hits and a walk. In the closing frgmes, the stead- ier play of the Avon Sports girls --who played their season's sched- ule in Sunnyside League Interme- diate ranks -- stood out. They won the game and series in the top of the 10th when Waters singled, Col- ley walked and then with two out, Clark singled, to score Waters.

St. Edmund's Cricket Club Beats Oshawa In Key Match Oshawa Cricket Club fell short of victory by 28 runs in the cru- cial final game for the Toronto and District Cricket Council God- din Cup when they lost to the St. Edmund's Club of Toronto at Lakeview Park on Saturday after- noon by a score of 113 to 85 It was a keenly contested match, and at one time it looked as if Oshawd might win, but the tail failed to wag, and the last three on four wickets fell cheaply to dash the locals' hopes. St. Edmund's batted first, and their first two wickets fell for 2 runs. * Forecful batting by Ingar and Payne, who had 26 and 15 respectively carried the score to 60 for four. Six wickets were down at 62, but a bright partnership by Houston, with 18 and DeBole, with 15, brought it up to 10 for 8, the side being retired at 113. Harris, with three wickets for 19 runs, was the most effective Oshawa bowler. Staples took two for 13, Haley 3 for 30 and McDonald two for 22. Oshawa started poorly, with the third wicket falling at 19. W. Howarth, top scorer of the day with 40, and J. Cliff, with 13, made a strong stand to carry the score to 67 for five wickets. A slump set in, howewer after Howarth was bowled, and%o other Oshawa bats- man reached double figures. Three fast catches ended the innings at 851 with St. Edmund's victors Payne bowled very effec- tively, having four wickefs for 16 runs. Rogerson had four for 36 and Ince 2 for 22.

Woodview lads now move into the |! semi-finals against Rundle Park, opening the series at Rundle Park on Wednesday night. This was actually the third game of their 2-out-of-3 series but in fact, was the fifth time the two teams had met in the round and after being halted by darkness of Fri- day night, they agreed to try again Saturday morning at Bathe Park. The Bathe diafond was too wet so the teams moved over to East- view Park and went on about the business f concluding their series. Fernhill Park lads looked as if they were off-to-the-races when they opened the game with a 7- run splurge in the first inning, al- most every member of the téam crossing the plate in his frame. However, they slowed down af- ter that with singleton runs in the 2nd, 5th and 6th innings being the best they could do- after the big opener, except in the third when they scored foury runs. Lowery's homer in the 6th gave the losers their final run. Woodview Park boys got four runs in the first inning, scored a couple in the second and one in the third, to make it 12-7. Woodview Park had their big in- ning in the fourth, with Cole start- ing it off and Frolick's home-run blow climaxing the 7-run splurge that put them ahead, 14-12. Woodview came right back in the fifth to score five more runs and make the score 19-3 and in the 6th, Frolick hit his second homer of the game to produce three more runs and make it 22-14 where it ended.
