¢ 10 THE TIMES.GAZETTE Tuesday, September 10, 1946 Pm (0) R T 8 H. ONAPSHOTS conn: The annual Fall Tournament of the Ontario Golf Association, staged this year, Saturday, at the Oshawa Golf and Country Club, proved + an outstanding success. They had a total of 170 entries, one of the largest in the history of the event when held outside of Toronto, and with perfect weather and the course in excellent shape, some splendid scores were carded in the extremely keen competition. Jack Roberts, Oshawa Club Pro and his staff of grounds keepers came in many com- ments of praise for the fine condition of the course and greens. "Nick" Wisnock, Scarboro, copped top honors in the tournament but he had to win a sudden-death playoff with E. Bentley of Weston that was decided on the 2nd hole. Phil Farley was blazing through, headed 'for first place, when his drive on the 17th lodged in the crotch of a branch grow- ing out of a stump and the tough break cost him more than the margin he had built up. Turk Broda, "Red" Heron, and other well<known athletes in the amateur golfing world, competed, * »* 7] * + | The event attracted a large gallery of interested spectators, in addition to the many members of the Oshawa Golf Club, so that large galleries viewed the players in action on the various holes neighbouring. the club-house and the top-ranking entrants had galleries on almost every hole.. Earl McMaster, 1945 club champion, turned in the best score of the local entrants, carding a 73. Harold Ball had a 75 but his 34 for the first 9 holes was the best half-way total of the entire 170 entrants. Jack Gay, another local entry, got into the prize money in his flight with second lowest net score of 64. Wisnock, Farley and Patterson of Hamilton were the only "scratch" competitors in the tournament. The pleasure and satisfaction, ex- pressed by the numerous top-flight golfers competing here on Satur- day would suggest that the Oshawa Club may have the honor of being hosts for 'one of the other 0.G.A. premier events next season. Locally, the golf season is coming to a close but the Ladies' club champion has yet to be decided and of course there are the Club and GM "closing day" events to wind it up. * * ww * Robson Leather "Tannery" emerged as the Eastern Ontario Zone champions in the O.AS.A. Intermediate "A" playoffs when they trounced Belleville SACO Marines here at Alexandra Park on Saturday afternoon, 10 to 2. There wasn't much to the game after Dave Gilbert homered with two men on bases in the very first frame and there: was no interest at all after the 4th frame, when "Hump" Price homered to start off a barrage of *base-blows that resulted in a 5-run splurge for Tannery and blasted Halloran, Belleville's starting hurler, from the mound. Jim Hunter made a much better showing after he got over the 4th frame, giving up only one run atfer that. Blaker's homer with one aboard, in the 7th, saved the Marines from the whitewash brush. In sweeping the Eastern Ontario finals and the previous series with Peterboro, each in two-straight games, the smooth-working Tannery, team have stamped themselves as strong contenders for the coveted O.AS.A. Inter. "A" championship. They were very strong defensively on Saturday, much the better team in every department with Jack McConkey pitching a stellar brand of 5-hit ball and only one walk. Robson Leather will likely meet the Toronto. Inter. "A" winners in the next round, with the series opening this week, probably about Thursday. » 0% * . The Oshawa B'Nai B'Rith team were eliminated from the Ont- ario Baseball Association's Junior "A" playoffs when they dropped the 3rd game of their series with Belleville Kiwanis, a sudden-death fray staged out in Peterborough on Saturday afternoon. Belleville's good pitcher, Branton, proved a little too good for the B'Nai B'Rith boys, who once again suffered from the inabilffy to get enough hits in the right spots. The Belleville boys, on the other hand, uncorked a sharp offensive, came through with base-blows in the right spots to make the most of opportunities presented to them in the way of walks and errors by the Oshawa boys. That ends the B'Nai B'Rith playoff campaign but they still have to battle it out with the winner of the Whitby-Bowmanville series, for the championship of the Lakeshore Leagué--which may or may not get cleaned up by Thanks- giving Day. Belleville Kiwanis now meet Ottawa (really a team from Hull, Quebec) in the next round of the O.B.A. playdowns and the way we hear it--this Eastern club is a mighty sweet Junior baseball machine and already picked 8 20p: he oka. title, * Lr Oshawa has three teams "marking time" right now, waiting for their next opponents in the O.AS8.A, Provincial playdowns, The Mayfair Lanes, in Senior "B" ranks, will take on the winners of the Toronto Senior "B" eliminations, with the first game likely to be played late next week. In the Inter. "A" grouping, Robson Leather "Tannery" will meet the winners of the Owen Sound--Barrie series, which is*now in progress. Oshawa Legion, representing Oshawa and Eastern Ontario in the Inter. "AA" series, takes on some Toronto opposition, early next week. Due to arrangements for a diamond and the sports congestion locally at the only park suitable for Inter-City competition, definite dates have not yet been set but will likely be announced by Thursday. ' * J] ww * Oshawa GM-Colts didn't win their last schedule game of the Fastball League, played last night at Kew Beach, than they've shown in the last four weeks opposition of a lower rating. Colts scored one and had the bases loaded with none out in the 2nd but Abner Grant dd the next three, Johnny Kitchen got three hits for four night, to bring his season's completed schedule average to t mark of 422--which will win the Beaches' League without any trouble. He had a double, a placed bunt for his three safe hits. In the other game out Mexico City 2-1 with the winning The Mexicans, a colorful team with their hatter, have a good American pitcher, plenty of color uniforms, etc, but they showed badly at the plate, Bob McCown had a no-hit game and he struck out 21 batters. A crowd of over 6,000 viewed the doubleheader. They were lined up 15-deep around the infield and 10-deep all the way around the entire outfield, . ; x ® ww =» IOE TODAY?--Word came through at the O.H.A. Junior "A" meet ing on Sunday that two new teams will bé in the race this year, Wind= sor and Stratford. This will make up a 10-team league with Windsor playing a single schedule, 4-point games, with the other 9 teams and the others will all play a double-schedule, The Memorial Cup finals will be in the West this year and the Junior O.H.A, schedule will get under way the first week in Noyember. More about Junior hockey at a more season- able date, but locally, Phil Samis is back, Johnny Arundel will not be back but Ike Hildebrand will be and there are two newcomers in the city--at least two! Es we nly vy SPORT SHORTS--Accountants won the championship of the GM Office Softball League last night, defeating Parts Distribution Dept. 12-7 in their 4th game. One game was tied and Accountants won the - other three starts . . . The Canadian grid season got under way on Saturday with a bang---most of the "Bang" being supplied by Lew Hayman's scream about that touchdown-safety touch affair at Oak- wood Stadium. Imagine Lew screaming at the Argos. My, doesn't mate , ter who kicks your dog! . .. The "Nailers" are still hammering away locally in their bid for a Bantam "Playground League" softball cham- plonship and doing quite well , . . Brooklin has been ousted in another series . . . The "Red Raiders" are training nightly for their opening football games They would like to have a park suitable for rugby since Alex. Park is so crowded these days . . . Oshawa cricketers played their last match on Saturday down in Peterboro and defeated the Whittakers to close up 1946 nicely . . . The O.A.S.A suspended a Ham~ ilton #Junior player for three years for striking an umpire and three other players were thrown out fo one year for participating in a free- for-all and the Hamilton's team protest was thrown out, so Brant- ford Jrs. will meet either Toronto or Belleville for the O.A.8.A. title.

A total of 170 entrants, embracing the cream of Ontario's amateur golf crop, contested for honors and voiced their hearty ap- proval of the facilities of the. club and condition of the local course and greens. . K. N. "Nick" Wisnock, of Scar- boro Club, copped the premier hon- ors but it required a sudden-death playoff to settle the . issue and it was decided on the 2nd hole, after E. Bentley of Weston parred the No. 1 hole with a 4 to match Wis- nock, On the No. 2, Bentley's sec- ond shot went wide, costing him extra' distance and a stroke, for a bogie 5 while Wisnock, displaying the same cool confidence that fea- tured his ar round, came up deadly putter to par. the hols at 4 and so win first prize. Both Bent- ley and Wisnock carded 70's, one under par for the Oshawa. course, in their regular 18 holes, A Blazing Finish . Wisnock was three over par go- ing "downstairs" to the west side of the Oshawa Creek, for the last six. holes, four of them being long holes. He scored a "birdies" on the 11th and then came up with a' blis- tering pace on these long holes to chalk up "birdies" on the 13th, 14th and 16th, then just missed out on a lengthy put on the 18th, to miss = 69. Phil Farley was 3 under par com- ing to the 17th and then ran into one of 'those tough luck breaks. His ball came to rest in freakish man- ner, lodged in the crotch of a branch of a stump and the stroke necessary to get clear, plus loss of distance, resulted in a 5 on the 17th, Farley took a 4 on the 18th also, to end up with a 72. : Oshawa Players Do Well Earl McMaster scored a 73 gross on the 18 holes, for the best Osha- wa, sh and but for some shaky putting on the greens, might easily have took it all, H. Ball blazed his way round the the day for the first half of the course, but he slipped up on the longer holes in the last and ended up a still creditable 75. J Gay was the only Oshawa player to finish 'in the prize list, netting a 64 for 2nd place in the second flight, Large galleries of Oshawa : Club members and other interested local citizens, watched the competitors tee off at the clubhouse and finish on No. 18 and many of them went farther afield to watch the top- ranking entrants at various other stations along the course, The Prize Winners Wisnock andl Bentley took 1st and 2nd prizes respectively in the top flight (handicap 1'to 9) while J. Griska of Point and A. Powell of Barrie f 1st and 2nd with } of 66 and 67 in the han- dicap listing. y 3 In the second flight, 10 to 19 han. dicaps, W. A, Wilson - of Humber Valley and A. M.

But expert opinion = contradicts this theory. Branch "Rickey, for example, de- clares he never heard of an arm's being hurt by overwork. Injuries to arms, 'he says, are caused by trying new. trick deliveries, favoring a leg, slipping off the pitching rubber, or similar unorthodox actions. Pitch- ing, he maintains, never hurt an arm when it was done right. Experts point out that a pitcher must work fairly often in order to keep in top shape. Men who don't pitch regularly lose their best form and the Indians, the umpire didn't see it that way. Short and not so sweet to the umpire was this act by a midget in Boston during a game between the Red Sox Cleveland was employing the famous "Williams Shift" wherein the infielders and the outfielders move over the right side of the diamond. A midget fan in the stands rushed out, grabbed Pinky Higgins' glove and began playing around short and third base. Joe Cronin, LEFT, laughed and laughed but Manager Lou Boudreau argued for keeping the extra player, stating it only made nine and one.half men on the field, (P.S.) Williams struck out. Peoples Win Over GM-Colts In Last Schedule Tilt But Kitchen Cinches Batting Crown stellar form throughout and got great support from his infielders. Johnny Kitchen cinched the Beaches Major League batting championship for 1946 when he boosted his already league-leading average of .405 to the splendid mark of .422, Besides turning in a smart display of fielding at 1st base, Kitchen clipped Grant for three hits in four trips ®o the plate, a double, a well-placed single and a neat bunt which he beat out with his speed afoot. People Get Brakes Peoples got one run back in the One Bad Inning As Peoples Bunch 4 Hits In Succes- sion For 7 Rung In 3rd-- Meulemester Hurls Fine Brand of Ball But Abner Grant Even More Effec- "tive For Peoples-- Make Their Hits Count Oshawa GM-Colts played their last schedule game in the Beaches Major Fastball League, last night 2nd when Stricker opened with a double to centre. Polosky was out on a sacrifice and then Heron grounded to Magee, who held the ball to hold Stricker on 2nd. Jef- fers struck out and as he missed the 3rd strike, Heron stole 2nd. Heron slid under Dalton's arm to be safe, as Stricker went home on the throw -and then Grant ground- ed out. That made it 1-1 and Peoples took a big lead in the 3rd with a 3-run rally. Smith singled with one out. Evans beat out a bunt that was just inside the line then Kennedy doubled to centre, scoring his two mates. had advanced to 2nd and 3rd when Meulemester put a wild pitch into the screen. Ken- nedy scored on Stricker's single to make it 4-1 then Poloskey forced Kennedy and Heron struck out. In the 5th, Kennedy walked with one out but was forced by Stricker and then the latter was thrown out by Young's perfect throw, when he tried to reach 3rd on a le by Poloskey, ung 1 pened the third hit of the pr Poloskey bunted and was safe Meulemester thr: to was safe on a bobble by Magee and st. Meulemester Hurls Well Peoples only collected 8 hits off Meulemester, who threw one of .his best games of the season, Outside of the 3rd, when the winners four hits in succession, the big Osh- awa left-hander was In rare form. He fanned five and walked only one batter. Herb. Stricker, with three hits in four tries, was best at the plate for Peoples and only one to get more than one safety. Kitchen had three hits in four trips, for Oshawa 'to match Stricker's display, "Dolly" Dalton pulled off the fielding feature of the game, a sen- sational one-handed grab of a screaming liner headed out into centre field over 2nd base, off the bat of Abner Grant.

GLEN BRANTON JUNIOR CHAMP AT ST. GEORGE'S. Glen Branton last night downed Pete Wilson in straight sets, -6-0 and 7-5, to win the junior men's singles championship at 8t. George's Tennis Club. Wilson made a good comeback effort in the second set but Branton managed to hold out long enough to clinch the match. Last night also saw Connie Col- pus and Doris Gilson advance into the semi-finals of the ladies' dgu- bles on defeating Louise Thomson and Betty Warnica in a three-set match, 6-1, 3-6, 6-4. Georgina For- sythe and Doris Coldrick have drawn a bye into the finals, in which they will meet the winners of the match between Colpus-Gilson and Esther Walker-Jean South worth. at Kew Gardens when they bowed 5-1 to Peoples Credit Jewellers, in a game that had been previously rained out and was almost washed out again last night. Althofigh beaten, practically en- tirely on Abner Grant's superb 6- hit pitching performance backed up by fine support and his own total of exactly one dozen strikeouts, the Oshawa crew still made a very much improved showing, where al- ways in the running and played a much better brand of ball that in previous games of recent weeks. One Big Inning "Ab" Grant fanned the first three Oshawa batters to face himson 11 pitches but he ran into more trouble than that in the next frame. Normie Magee doubled into the crowd--a multitude of over 5,000 who turned out to witness the twin- bill. (Bob McCown pitched 21 strikeouts for a no-hit 2-1 win over Mexico City in the first game). Kitchen followed Magee's double with one of his own. Hall was safe when Kennedy made a bad throw to 1st and Magee went sliding home on the play. Young grounded to the infield and they held Kitchen at 3rd, with Young and all hands safe. This meant one run across the plate and the bases loaded with none out but "Abner, The Great" then came up with three more strikeouts in suc- cession, Hurst, Muelemester and Dalton to leave the three runners stranded on the bases. Little singled in the 3rd with one out but was forced and nothing else happened. In the,7th, Hurst and Meulemester each drew walks with one out. Dalton flied out to right and Meulemester was doubled off' 1st. Kitchen Cinches Title In the 9th, Hall bunted down 3rd after .Kitchen had beaten out a bunt for his third hit of the night. Smith stabbed Hall's bunt with one hand but dropped the ball and all hands were safe. Grant then fanned Young, forced Hurst to ground out, forcing Kitchen at 3rd a then fanned Meulemester to end the game, In all, Grant fanned 12 and gave up only the two walks.
