'THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE TUESDAY, MAY. 18, 1948 PAGE TEN BY P (o R T Geo. H. NAPSHOTS If we can keep up this "$50.00-a-day" climb, the "Sport Snapshots . $5.00 Club" will just about reach the $1,000.00 mark by-the 24th of May--but we'll actually have to do a little better than the 10 members a day. We came up with a few fine 'memberships yesterday again to boost the total another good step but there are still dozens of local sport fans who aren't joining up, or at least haven't yet sent in their "fee," whom we counted on as "sure-fire" members. Cliff Rendell of Motor ' City Bowling Alleys joined up yesterday and now we expect a few more memberships from the "odd-man-out" gang or cribbage players. William "Bill" Trewin, local softball star and 1947 local batting champion, joined up also, along with Jack Burch, local Canadian Legion Branch President, . and two others of his organization, W. J. "Bill" Dunn and Alf Gunnell, all three being keen sport boosters in this city. * * LS Fred Dean, a local resident who has made his home here In Oshawa, where he ducts his sales busi in recent years but is actually a Kitchener "homebrew," came into the office to join yesterday afternoon. Fred admits that his favorite sport is rugby but that he likes to watch all sports. He thinks an outdoor stadium is a great thing for Oshawa, especially since we already have a fine .'. hockey arena. Two brothers, well-known in local sport circles, _ joined up with a double-fee yesterday, Scott and Clark Hubbell. Clark has always been a strong booster of local sporting activities and as a "City League" officer has helped local y g s in their hockey careers, in past years, Scott Hubbell is one of Oshawa's former athletic greats. A star in basketball, baseball. and rugby and a fair hockey and lacrosse player, he helped Oshawa teams to several great triumphs. He was a member of the St. Andrew's Juvenile Ontario baseball champs in 25 and he starred on the backfield with the "Blue Devils" throughout their great career as a football club, * * + _ . The Lakeshore Intermediate and Junior Leagues have announced their schedules this week, in fact, the Intermediate League had their draw ready last week, but we've finally got around to publishing them in today's paper. Local baseball fans who will have considerable interest in these leagues, particularly the Lakeshore Junior loop, in which the Oshawa Hunt Club Juniors and Motor City Cab Juvéniles are partici- pating, are reminded to clip these schedules and save them for future reference. ob * * There are seven teams in the Lakeshore Junior Baseball Associ- ation this year, with Peterborough and Oshawa each having two entries and Whitby is back again, along with Cobourg and Bow- manville, The team leading the league at the conclusion of the schedule will be declared league champions and winners of the "McCallum Trophy." There's a new trophy donated by Mr. Bovay of Cobourg, for the top junior "B" team in the standing. * + LJ They'll playoff for OBA playdown rights, home-and-home games {Petween the junior "A" clubs and junior "B" clubs (separate) while if Tpermission is granted, the Motor City Club, a team of juveniles who £&an not get a herth in the local baseball set-up will proceed into the $OBA juvenile playdowns. All night games are scheduled to go nine i dnnings, if possible, instead of being slated for only seven frames, as last + * paar * z With most of the local softball leagues lined up and ready for ----action, some of them having announced their schedules, the chief interest now centres on the Oshawa City and District Softball Association's major circuit. Striving valiantly to get a fourth team but still faced with the possibility that in the final analysis, per- haps only one or two teams will face the barrier, President Johnny + Brady has announced that the Intermediate "A" League meeting, gE tentativey arranged for this week, will not be held until late in the &- week, either on Friday night or perhaps on Sunday afternoon. =. Latest report is that "Canadian Legion" is definitely out of the = Intermediate "A" circuit but that "White Eagles" may return to the <= fold, after all. Meanwhile, Pedlars is a definite entry with GM-Colts i; and UAWA club both "waiting to see" what will happen. i * * * SPORTS SHORTS--The Toronto Leafs affiliate in the National League, the Phils, have finally come through with the help they pro- mised, and it doesn't look as though th/3s help will help. Oscar Judd, the ancient southpaw who played with Rochester a few years back, is one acquisition. He may help the Leafs, but his age is the dubious part of the deal. Age again is the problem with the other players obtained. They may be too young. His name is Alf Porto. He is also a southie. Let's hope they do turn the tide a bit in the Leafs favor though for they must wifi one game in the season . . . Toronto City Council is raising a big-to-do about the sports stadium that is being built in the ONE grounds. They say that the way the thing is being built now would make it unsuffable for rugby, the main sport to be played there. They are to get some sport figures to see what they think of the plans... The Plate Trial winners, All-British, a terrific mudder, and Lord Fair- mond, look to be the only hope for a hot finish in this year's running of the classic. That is of course if it rains, How many times we wonder has the King's Plate been held in rain? ... Charlie Grimm gave his Chicago Cub line-up a drastic shakeup 10 years ago today and the Chicagoans blasted their way to a 4-2 victory over the New York Giants to win their second game in eight starts. Grimm benched Tony Laz- zeri in favor of Frank Demaree and removed rookie Joe Marty from the scene of action. * * + SCISSORED SPORT--(By The Canadian Press)--Tommy Collins, a | 19-year-old Boston featherweight, told a legislative committee in Boston Monday that he didn't plan to knock out Jack (Spider) Armstrong of Taronto, last month because he was "kind of an elderly fellow." .. Pre- fight rumors were the bout was "fixed" for Collins. But Armstrong kayoed Collins and that's why the Massachusetts House of Representa- tives voted toinvestigate the State Boxing Commission. At the hearing | Monday, Collins said he had trained "extra hard" for the fight, but had | no. intentibns of knocking out Armstrong. But the day of the fight, a member of the boxing commission told Collins and Armstrong that "if , the fight was not right the} would be suspended." "This put me in the dumps," Collins declared, "and after that all I had on my mind was to flatten Armstrong." . Tom Blower, who plans a non-stop round trip swim of the English Channel this summer, finished a 30-hour warmup swim in an indoor pool in Nottingham Monday and found he had lost 17 pounds. Blower thinks it will take him 38 hours to paddle across the Channel and back again . , . Manager-shortstop Lou Boudreau of Cleve- land Indians Monday had vaulted into the American League batting leadership with a week's 11-point climb to .440. In other statistics released in Chicago Monday, Ted Williams of Boston Red Sox was second with 397 and Al Zarilla of St. Louis Browns third with .394. Ken Keltner of Cleveland is the home-run leader with 12 . , . Tommy Holmes of Boston Braves still leads the National League hitting with a .419 mark in figures released in New York Monday. Johnny Blatnik of the Phila- delphia Phils is in the runner-up spot with 409. Frankie Gustine of the Pittsburgh Pirates is in third place with .393. Hank Sauer of Cin- cinnati tops the home-run parade with eight four-masters. Blatnik increased his averagé in Monday night's Philadelphia-New York game. But his later mark was not included in the list . . . Maurice Podoloff was re-elected president of the American Hockey League for a two-year term it was announced in New York Monday by the league's board of governors, which is holding its annual two-day session. TONIGHT! WRESTLING ROLLER SKATING Wed. Afternoon & Might OSHAWA'S BILL y GOULDING LOSES BOUT AT ANNUAL LIONS CLUB SHOW Toronto, May 18 -- (CP) -- Fight fans here usually dont make a mis- take when they atterid the Annual Toronto Lions Club Boxing Show. The Club is noted for putting on a show that pleases the customers and its action-packed card last night in their latest effort was no exception. There was a little bit of every: thing for the crowd of 5,000 in the 10 bouts, eight of which had In- ternational flavor with American boxers meeting Canadian oppon- ents. The Americans emerged ,on top in their friendly duel, winning six of the eight bouts, but the Canadians nevertheless made a creditable showing. In the best bout of the night, Johnny (Spider) Thompson, U. S. National amateur champion from Buffalo, scored a decision over Mickey Kavanaugh, Maritime fea~- therweight title-holder from New Waterford, N.S., in a four-round thriller.. The red-headed Kavan- augh put the cagey Buffalo Negro fighter down for a count of six and was down for three knock= downs himself during the lively four-round tussle, Get Extra Round Originally slated for three rounds, officials sent the bout into an extra round whicn haa the fans yelling for more as the two fighters mixed it freely. Kavanaugh"s showing won him the. award as the gamest loser among the 20 participating boxers. Gus Rubicini, Central Ontario welterweight king, won a clean-cut three-round decision over Martin Gilday of Detroit in the main event. Rubicini was the aggressor all the way and had his opponent groggy when the bell sounded. Three of the bouts ended via the knockout route,.the Americans cap- turing two by this method and the Canadians one. Mike Zaduk of Guelph chalked up the most decis- ive win of the night when he knocked out Jim Hall of Buffalo at two minutes and 45 seconds of the first round. The Ontario welter- weight had his U.S. opponent to the canvas on four different oc- casions previously. Roy Mizzi, classy Detroit fighter, posted a T.K.O. victory over Remo Odorico, Central Ontario feather- weight champion from Toronto, at two minutes and 30 seconds of the second round. The other knock- out was scored by Barby Barnes of Buffalo when he pounded John Shields, 130-pounder 'from Torento, to the canvas at two minutes and 45 seconds of the second round. In a hard-fought scrap between Joe Garza of Detroit and Ernie Majury of Toronto, two free- swinging 135-pounders, the Detroit battler emerged the victor via the decision route. Goulding Defeated Billy Goulding of Oshawa drop- ped a three-round decision to crafty Tony Dipolinp of Buffalo in a 147-pound bout. The American lad floored Goulding in the second round and the Oshawa boxer was bleeding above his right eye when the bell sounded. In the 160-pound class, Roy John- soar of Buffalo came through? with a three-round decision over Alex Mason of Toronto, middleweight champion of Central Ontario. It was a bitterly-contested bout with Mason hitting the canvas in the second round after a .solid punch from the hard-hitting Detroit scrapper, O.F.
