THE TIMES-GAZETYTE Saturday, September 28, 1946 fc | l3oHNSON 15 Re" ! |BATTING $3257 4 SINCE HE TOOK) 'OVER THE SECOND |BASE JOB FROM \GEORGE STIRNWEISS. P (0) R T 5 H. NAPSHOTS Comb! Mayfair Lanes go right back to Toronto today to play the second game of their Senior "B" series with the Toronto Fire Fighters, Here at Alexandra Park last night, the Firemen defeated Mayfalrs 7-1 but they certainly didn't look to be that much better, As a matter of fact, general opinion locally was that the Firemen looked to be a very ordin- ary Senior "B" team, one of the weakest ever to come out of Toronto, However, we should correct that impression--the Fire Fighters won over some mighty tough opposition in Toronto and they must really have what it takes, True, they didn't impress here last night but they were facing an entirely different brand of pitching to what they have been accustomed--and we do mean accustomed, for they have played every night this week but Thursday, and they played four games last week. Mayfairs certainly suffered from a 5-week layoff, They had far too many errors in the infield last night and Keeler, although very stingy with safe hits, walked too many batters, eight altogether, and three of these crossed to plate and another run was the direct result of two walks in one inning. » 5» 8 » However, while it's true that walks and a lot of errors which Mayfair Lanes do not usually make, practically gave the Toronto team five of their seven runs--the fact still remains that two walks and one hit in the first inning gave Mayfairs their only run and that's all they got! McCarroll, the Fire Fighters' pitching ace, will likely face Mayfair Lanes today in the second game of the series, being played this afternoon at Wanless Park, in Toronto. Mayfairs can play a much better brand of defensive ball than they showed last night and if they come up with their best fielding today, they may be able to tie up this series and force a 3rd and deciding game, If not, they've still had a good season! # ® @% = To softball games are booked for Oshawa this evening, Out at Bathe Park, at 530 o'clock, Oshawa Legion take on the Toronto "Irish Vets" in the 3rd and deciding game of their O.AS.A. Intermediate "AA" semi-final series, Each team won a game on the other club's home diamond and this game this evening will settle the issue as to which team goes up against Hamilton "Silvers" for the Provincial Inter. "AA" champienship. Legion expects a big crowd of their loyal supporters to be on hand at Bathe Park this evening to cheer them along in this crucial game, Man Up at Alexandra Park, Robson Leather "Tannery" takes on New Toronto in the first game of the O.A.8.A. Inter. "A" semi-finals. Tannery doesn't have to face Harvey Rule after all. New Toronto defeated the "Owls" of Toronto 9-6 in their 4th and deciding game, . After Rule had 17 strikeouts to win 7-0 and tie up the series, the teams played a 3-3 tle in the 3rd game and it was called for dark- ness, They came right back on Thursday night and this time, New Toronto were trailing 4-0 in the first inning but they came fighting back to win 9-6. With this kind of fighting spirit, they must have a team that has plenty of ginger, pep and will-to-win, so Tannery will likely find them very tough to beat. This game tonight is also called for 5.30 o'clock. 5 SPORT SHORTS:~--Just another reminder--the 1946-47 Subscrib- er's Tickets go on sale at Mike's Place on Monday morning and last year'sticket holders have just two weeks to pick up their seats for this season, and the following week the sale will be opened for new sube scribers , , . .

In the first set Bev Thompson ran up & lead of 5-2 by her steady play and placing of shots that kept her op- ponent on the defensive. But the smooth stroking and more experis enced Joan Cuthbertson, turned on the heat to take five straight games to win the set 7-5. The second set Was a see-saw match that again saw the more ex- perienced player come out on top, 6-4. Both girls have been playing each other for several years as they are products of the Christ Church Ten- nis Club that was so flourishing before the war. The finals this year was contested between perhaps the two youngest players in the club's history, With Jack Langmaid and now Joan Cuthbertson both winning their re- spective single titles, youth has pre dominated in the singles champlone- ships of the club, Preliminary Round Julie Drummond def.

""The Learmonths" Cop Mixed Title Oshawa Tennis In the first post-war club cham- plonships held by the Oshawa Ten- nis Club, the mixed doubles crown was won by the family combination of Dorothy and Russ Learmonth. who defeated the young team of Joan Cuthbertson and Ken Andison 3-6, 8-6, 6-2, This is probably the first family couple in the history of the club to win the mixed trophy. The final match was a long and gruelling fignt that was played mainly from the baseline. After a shaky start in the first set, Dorothy Learmonth came through in the final two sets with a great display of steadiness and a very strong forehand that figured greatly in final victory. Russ played his usual yuy steady game and with his gen- courtsmanship was the guiding influence to final victory. Joan Cuthbertson and Ken Andl- son played a fighting match but more experienced' team of Lear- month and Learmonth, The tournament was closely con- tested all through with many three set matches being necessary to de- clare winners, The complete results were as fol- lows: First Round D. and R.
