. THE DAILY TI MES-GAZETTE SATURDAY, MAY 3, 1947 EE ------, PORT NAPSHOTS éme Quite a few of the local anglers were out bright and early, in the fog, this morning, to try their luck at their favorite stream or pool For that matter, a lot of Oshawa and district fishermen maintained 1st of May tradition on Thursday and "wet a line" and some reports of fair success have been received. Lloyd Whittington brought back a 4-1b. brown trout from down Port Hope way. "Pete" Garrison and the Roenigk brothers, Bill and Lou, brought home their full quota of speckled and brown trout, with one big baby that almost touched the 4-lb. mark. Billy Taylor, "Pete" Skinty, Archie Rinker and "Stevie" Stephens did very well down at Cavan with a lot of "keepers" and Billy The Kid had a 14-inch trout, best of the day. Dick Staples of Oshawa and Dane Found of Orono and Ken Jones of Peterboro, had good success too. We haven't heard of any other special catches but we'd be glad to mention them if "the boys" would just let us know. » x x The local softball picture is getting brighter every day and present indications are that there'll be almost 100 softball teams perating in Ost this with the majority of them playing not only in organized leagues but in loops which have direct 0.A.8.A. affiliation and will be sending their winners into Provincial playoffs, in quest of Ontario championships. The forming of the "Oshawa Church Softball League" will bring back memories of the days when this league operated fully. Johnny Brady, Pres. of the Osh- awa City & District Association, has at least 4 Inter. "A" teams, expects 4 Inter, "AA" teams, 4 Juvenile teams and 5 or 8 Junior "A" teams.

MACKIE "THE MOVER" AND STORAGE Telephone 678 Quick, Safe Service All loads insured free! Column Clips From Other Sport Scribes - By FRED KERNER Canadian Press Staff Writer Toronto, May 3 -- (CP)--In the sports . world at least, 1947 may go down in' history as the year of great exposures! In Moose Jaw it was admitted that $10,000 was divided among the amateur junior hockey team, the Canucks, and in Ottawa, Rough Rider Football Club officials moan that they cannot meet a Lansdowne Park rental demand of 10 per cent of the gate receipts and survive. This latter' bit of mi has aroused the ire of Mike (Kingston Whig-Standard) Rodden. Mike points out that the Ottawa club's operating expenses were $57,000 last season bit their cash balance .in the bank is but $1,200. That out- lay proves "that the Ottawa Rough Riders have no right to operate as amateurs in any sense of the word." Baring of the facts, the Kingston scribe says, shows why the Riders were able to "rush merrily into the importation business 'while leaving native sons hanging on the ropes of failure and dismay." Up to now the club hag been renting the park for a paltry $50 a game, which explains a lot when it comes tp figuring where all the extra money was coming from and why the club officials are balking at a 10 per cent rental. Sabbath Ball Cec (Peterborough Examiner) Perdue puts himself on record as being against Sunday ball. The reason?--""We certainly don't feel like 'working seven days a week." hud that's a pretty solid reason On the same topic Dan (Kitch- ener Record) Odette points out that the Ontario Baseball Associa- tion did not vote against Sunday games, but put the Sabbath ban on playoffs. Sunday ball is popu- lar in the. Chatham-Windsor area and there are other seections of Ontario that don't frown on the pastime -for the Sabbath. In Odette's opinion the trend to- ward the Sunday game is growing xia Brevit Cup champions, Kitts Athletics, will be wearing the old familiar Double Blue d this season.

Bata is in Brazil where he is said to have built up another big shoe business. Bata declined to recognize the jur- isdiction of the Prague national court and submitted no defence. The sentence confiscated for the state of all Bata's property.

Bobby Feller "Hurls Another 1-Hit Beauty By JACK HAND Associated, Press Sports Writer Bobby Feller of Cleveland Indians again has established himself as the top pitcher in baseball with a solid chance of hitting the 30-game win mark. © He now has compiled a dazzling string of 29 shutout innings. \ After losing the American League opener to Chicago, 2-0, Peller has blanked St. Louis, Detroit and Boston in succession, hurling a pair of one-hitters and a' three-hit job. In 35 innings of pitching he has allowed only 14 hits and has struck out 30 batters. Only three extra base hits have been gathered off Bobby's deliveries and two lonely singles have barred him from joining the exclusive club of men who have pitched three no hitters. It appears to be only a matter of time until Feller turns in another hitless effort and takes his place with Cy Young and Larry Corcoran. In notching his tenth one-hitter yesterday against Boston, Feller never had to worry about the possi- bility of a perfect game. Johnny Pesky took care of that with a first- inning single. Three times in his career, Bobby had turned back the Red Sox with one hit. It was Feller's third victory of the season to one lone defeat, bringing him a little closer to two long-standing records. The modern mark for successive shutouts is five, set by Harris White of Chicago White Sox in 1904 and the longest string of runless innings is 56, established by Walter Johnson with Washington in 1913. While rapid Robert was adding a new chapter to his life history with his 141st win, Rookie Frank Shea of New York Yankees was recording his first big league victory over Chicago, 5-2, The freshman righthander had a two-hit shutout going to the eighth when he wobbled momentarily to yield two runs. Pat Mullin continued his fine comeback with two home runs and a single in Detroit's 3-2 edge over Mullin had trouble striking his pre-war stride last sea- son after returning from service but he has erupted into the .400 class this spring.
