' PAGE EIGHT THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE \ J 4 TUESDAY, AUGUST 19, 1947 POR NAPSHOTS Nee y Bowles Lunch are lucky--Jah! They were defeated by Oshawa GM- Colts 6-5 last night at Kew Beach but the game was an exhibition fixture--since Oshawa was able to field only eight players, and had to use a Bowles' player in the outfield to make a full team. As it was, "Lefty" Meulemeester was in rare form and would likely have mowed em down regardless. He gave up only five hits and fanned 11 batters 4n only seven innings. Bowles used three hurlers, with "Bus" Benson -giving three runs in the first two innings and then leaving the game. Wilson and Dowey finished the game out for Bowles, each hurling two frames. Colts were notified by phone that it hadn't rained in Toronto S0 they left here, after the storm had subsided. They were held up by blocked roads, had to make a long detour but finally arrived in time for the game. The catch was that one of their three cars stopped to 'give another motorist a push and during the process, was crashed from behind by another car. The players sent out an SOS for: trans- portation, secured another car and then got held up for almost a half- hour on the highway, between here and Whithy--where by this time, "the hydro repair men had the road blocked, while they set up hroken wires, knocked down by' fallen 'trees. Colts play back in Toronto to- morrow night and again on Friday--with their next home game here on Wednesday, August 27. , 2 * * ES While Colts were "unlucky" enough to be able to play in To- ronto (it didn't rain west of the "half-way house," famous wet spot on No. 2 highway) and win a game that they couldn't count in their standing--all the local and district games were rained out. 0.A.8.A. playoff games at Pickering and Ajax were rained out and s0 were all the games here. It was so dark in Oshawa the street lights were turned on at 6:25 p.m. President Johnny Brady has called all the games for tonight and unless GM works tonight until 9:00 o'clock or it rains some more and makes the diamonds too wet, U.AW;A. and White Eagles will play their third and deciding game tonight at Alexandra Park, in the Inter. "A" semi-finals. This is the big attraction, but there are several other very important games on tap also. : By Geo. H. Campbell + * LJ Up at Alexandra Park also, there's the first game of the Inter. "AA" " finals, between Legionsand Robson Leather. Tannery ousted North " Oshawa in a full three-game series and Legion had to take the third game to survive Skinners. This Inter. "AA" final game tonight should be worth seeing too. Then there's a Juvenile "A" playoff game tonight, second game of the series at Bathe Park, with Reed's needing a win in order to prevent Kiwanis Hornets from taking a 2-0 lead in this three- out-of-five championship series. Also at Alexandra Park tonight, Gord. Wilson's snappy . little bantam team, the Northminster Nailers, will be playing Ajax Bantams in the opening game of their series. This is a game that local sport fans should take in also--for these Bantam lads are playing an entertaining brand of ball. Over at Bathe Park, Dunn's Tailors are scheduled to open their three-out-of-five final series with Brooklin Dodgers tonight. Then there are O.M.B.A. Minor League baseball playoff games also, at Alexandra Park and Sunnyside Park. There are more playoff games for tomorrow night also--watch the "Sports Calendar." * LJ > It seems that the Hespler lacrosse team has folded up so there is no lacrosse game at the Oshawa Arena tonight. Apparently that winds up the schedule for Oshawa and there will be no more games here until the playoffs get under way--with the first game of the semi-finals likely to be played here in Oshawa next Tuesday night. s * L J ® Oshawa baseball fans, storekeepers especially, barbers, grocers, clothing merchants, etc, are reminded of the big doubleheader at Alex- andra Park tomorrow afternoon, starting at 2:15 o'clock. It's the re- turn game of the O.B.A. playoffs between Peterboro Juveniles and the Oshawa Mayfairs, in one game. Mayfairs lost a tough 2-1 game in Peterboro and need to win here tomorrow afternoon--or else they hang up their spikes for the season. In the other half of the twin-bill, Sunnyside Combines, Oshawa's smart midget team, meets the Peter- boro Midgets in the second game of their series and another win for Oshawa Midgets will advance them to the next round. L 2 LJ > SPORTS SHORTS-Tiger Flowers became the only Negro to hold the world's middleweight boxing title when he outpointed Harry Greb at New York, 21 years ago tonight. Flowers held the crown four months, losing to Mickey Walker December 3 . . . Well, Ezinicki didn't win the Canadian Amateur Golf title, but he certainly proved to the Manitoba Golf Association that they had really overlooked something when they turned him down as a representative for their provincial team. Ezinicki is still a little erratic in his tourney play, but you can bet your bottom dollar that he will cure that next year, the same way he cures all the mistakes he makes, and that is by constant practice and by listening to a guy who knows . . . An upset wi by the World All-Stars in their annual series against Brooklyn sandlotters, gave the world the rubber game in the series. The world won the last game 4-0. Bud Ware was the Toronto representative and he played on first base . . . Art Cowie that 16-year-old runner who came to Oshawa a few weeks ago with the Beaches Olympic Club is starting to look like an Olympic prospect. He won the 440-yard dash at Cleveland to set a new meet record in 51.3 seconds. The competition was the Junior Olympics Athletic meet and brought together the best from the States and Canada . . . Looky who's beating the Montreal Royals in two straight games over the week-end. Yes the lowly Fleet Street flatters did the trick and thereby aided the Jersey Giants in their race to take over the league lead. : * * * SCISSORED SPORT--(By The Canadian Press)--Franke Selke, manager of Montreal Canadiens, has indicated that the National Hockey League club intends to extend its program to develop young talent in Quebec province, Selke said the Canadian Arena Company, which directs Canadiens, would give a banquet tomorrow in Montreal to delegates of the Junior Amateur Hockey Association at which represen- tatives of four possible new entries in the junior league would attend. He added that the four clubs, Three Rivers, Shawinigan Falls, Quebec and Granby, had shown interest in jbining the J.AH.A. which was formed of eight clubs last season . . . Jackie Robinson, Brooklyn Dodgers star first baseman and first Negro to enter big-league ball, has signed a contract to make a motion picture after the season ends . . . It is re- ported from Germany that Gottfried Von Cramm, famous German tennis player, is to take Swedish nationality. Von Cramm, formerly one of the world's top tennis aces, has recovered much of his old brilliance and this year was active in training the Swedish Davis Cup team . . . Winnipeg Scottish, having won their best two-out-of-three series with Fort William in two straight games, are now ready for the next round in the dominion soccer playoffs. They will meet the winner of the Toronto Ulster-Montreal Carsteel series in Vancouver. uurgest Selection In Oshawa!

BENNETT MOTORS 428 KING W Phone 4554) GM-COLTS NOSE Accident and Storm Prevent Colts From Fielding Full Team So Game Is Declared Ex. Tilt "Lefty" Meulemeester in Fine Form, Hurls 5- Hit Ball to Keep Bow- les in Check -- Kitch- en's Homer Boosts Oshawa Lead and Colts Hold On -- Meulemees- ter Fans 11 in 7 Inn- { ings -- Bowles Use 3 Pitchers Oshawa GM-Colts were another of '° . victims of last night's freakiest summer storm that struck this area, when due to the storm they were unable to tield any more than eight players at Kew Gardens last night and so an exhibition game was played, with Oshawa using Baker in cen- tre-field--and the GM-Colts' be- hind Meulemeester's 5-hit pitch- ing, nosed out Bowles Lunch 6-5. Two of-the Oshawa cars were able to get through to Toronto, leavifig immediately after the storm had passed and managing to ge st accident-blocked high- ways d around a full conces- sfon {fetour at Whitby, due to four feet of water in the highway subway there. However, the third Oshawa car, while giving anoth- er "storm casualty" a push, was was stifuck from behind damag- in> the car quite seriously, By the time the Colts had secured an- other car, it was after eight o'- clock and then, on nearing Whit- by, they were held up for anoth- er twenty minutes by hydro re- pair men, fixing broken wires along the highway so at nine o'- clock, they decided to give up trying to make the game. As it turned out, they waited in Toronto until 9.15 p.m, and then gave the large crowd of fans an exhibition game, with the Colts using their eight available play- ers and Baker, of Bowles. It didn't rain a drop west of West Hill, Meulemeester In Form Tt's perhaps lucky for Bowles that the Oshawa boys didn't have a 9th man for they were not in their best form last night, and "Bus" Benson, who started on the mound, was nicked for three runs in the first two frames, as he failed to get his slow-ball drop working, On the other hand, "Lefty" Meulemeester was back in top shape. He fanned 11 batters in the 7-inning exhibition tilt and gave up only five hits, one : ho. mer to Paterson, that accuintei for two rums. It was Meule- meester's best performance since he turned back Peoples 6-0 in Oshawa, three weeks ago. GM-Colts jumped into the lead in the last half of the first inning when Campbell opened with a walk Hall bunted safely and so did Kitchen, to fill the bases. A passed ball brought the first run home and a fly to right, scoring Hall af- ter the catch. n the second, Whiteley walked and both Barker and i Bre connected, scoring Whiteley. Camp= bell grounded and the force-play at 2nd was bobbled then Kitchen bunted to fill the bases with two out, but Baker fanned. A Homer Apiece In the 4th, Meulemeester walk- ed, Campbell tried to sacrifice but hit the ball twice with the bat, then Hall singled and Kitchen homered to make it 6-2. Bowles had scored one in the 4th on an error in the infield at short- stop followed by Ferguson's double, with two out. In the 5th, Burtch singled and Paterson homered. In he Gn Bowles got wo more runs Pelley w ' n singled. Two wild' ous on LePelley and put Ferguson on 3rd and he scored when Apps flied out to centre. That ended the scoring for the game, with Meulemeester fanning the next four batters. "Bus" Benson, "Sonny" Wilson and Murray Dowey all saw pitch- ing action for the Bowles team, each hurling two innings. Fergu- son and Patterson each had two of Bowles' «five hits while "Wib" Hall had three safeties and Johnny Kitchen two hits for Oshawa. R. H. E.

But so much publicity has been given to ne-hit- ters that many fans think them far rarer than they are. For the last 10 years an average of more than one a year has been pitched in the major leagues. Ewell Blackwell's no- hitter for Cincinnati against the Boston Braves was the 13th to gi into other records since 1937, Ao Don Black's made the 14th, Last year both Bob Feller of Spicy Bits From Other Sports Cols. By JOHN McNAB : Canadian Press Staff Writer Montreal, Aug. 19--(CP) -- Signing of Frank Filchook by Hemflton Tigers finds Elmer (Montreal Herald) Ferguson ex- tending a welcoming hand to the husky quarter-back who was vo- ted his team's most valuable play. er last or despite suspension from the New York Giants on a charge of failing to report an at- tempted bribe. Fergie is of the mind that Fil- cl ok received a raw deal when the National Football league dis- barred him and thinks Canadian sport fans should give him a fair trial. He warns baseball against lifting a snooty nose, pointing out that it has had at least one ex-convict enrolled in its mem~s bership, "There is no such record against Filchook , , . The worst that can be said of the player is that he failed to report an alleged bribe . , , that he participated in such under-cover shennanigans was never proven. And in the game he played under protest, he gave a great performance." We don't know whether Fergie has seen Filchook play but we can assure him that mistakes are a scarce commodity in the Filchook repertoire. Back in 1946 when covering Washington Redskins we had the chance to see Frank in operation. For half a dozen years he was a man under wraps with Rel. skins due to the presence of Slingin' Sammy Baugh, There wasn't room on the team for two men with such similar abilities to let them both give out fully and Baugh's inside track with owner George Marshall found Fil- chook on the bench more than he liked. It was only last year when sold to the Giants he had the op- portunity to prove what many Washington fans already believ- ed, that he was a star in his own right, After his disbarrment last year Frank set himself up in business in Washington by opening an ice- cream store only four blocks from the Canadian Embassy. Local sportswriters who asked him re. gardipg his future plans in the sports world received a "no com- ment" answer and he apparently settled into a forgotten niche, Lots of fans figured he was sold short by the league but didn't see what he could do to get back in sport; They probably welcome with Fergie this new chance for him and it is a safe bet tha: the person who welcomes it most is Frankie who really likes ioot- ball, Kitchener Panthers Gain Inter-County Baseball Finals By The Canadian Press Kit * er Panthers advanced into the Senior Inter-County Base- ball finals at Waterloo last night by trouncing the Tigers 6-1 to take their best-of-five series in three straight, A five-run burst decided the game for the Panthers in the fifth inning, when Eldy Weber tripled, John Slota doubled, John Bain and Bob Schnurr singled, and Auggie Herchenratter and Ike Kosolowski chipped in with errors. Kitchener now will meet the winner of the Galt-Guelph series which was forced into a fourth game by a Galt victory last night. Playing on their home diamond before a crowd of 3,000s the Ter- riers decisioned Guelph Maple Leafs 3-2 in 10 innings, after dropping their two previous tilts. Bert McCrudden, third Galt pitcher, won his own game in the 10th with a triple to deep centre after Adair had singled, It was a close fight all the way, Guelph took a one-run lead in the third, but failed to score again until the ninth, when Galt came through with a two-run rally to knot the count, Cleveland and Ed Head of Brook- lyn obliged. Feller also hurled one in 1940, and Johnny Vander Meer pitched "two consecutive no-hitters in 1938. * 2 J OFTEN boxing fans declare that punchers from the time of Fitzsim- mons through Dempsey's reign re- quired fewer knockdowns before the referee counted their opponents out than do current stars, They point to this fact as proof of the contention that the old- timers punched harder, "put 'em down to stay," while late comers, Joe Louis included, do, K not pack enough power to knock out an op- ponent without first softening him with several knoékdown blows. Actually, the difference in num- ber of knockdowns proves nothing except that the rules of boxing have changed. In Dempsey's time a fighter could hit an opponent while he was falling and stand over him, ready to strike, when he tried to rise. Neither practice is permit- ted now. he : : "OUT BOWLES LUNCH 6-5 , Western University's Famous Brother Act University of Western Ontario's dual threat brother acc, Bob (right) :.nd Don MacFarlone, are shown above. Equally at home on the ridiron, or the cinder track, they have been setting records for two years. Bob was the leading scorer in intercollegiate football last year, and is an outstanding quarter miler, and will probably represent Canada at the Olympics next year. He will compete in the quarter mile and the 220 yard events here Saturday, as well as the mile relay. His older brother Don, also an outstanding football player, will compete in the quarter mile and half mile events as well as the mile relay. ORONO'S SNAPPY GIRLS TEAM CAPTURES McCABE TROPHY IN C.O.F.
