* THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE ELEVEN SATURDAY, JULY 3; 1948 ~ Big League ° ~ Baseball Yesterday L 3 By RALPH RODEN Associated Press Sports: Writer There's no joy in Flatbush today. The once-mighty Bums are in last place in the National League. Manager Lippy Durocher's defen- ding champions, the Brooklyn Dod- gers, hit rock bottom last night be- fore 33,104 of the faithful at Eb- 'bets Field. The hated New York Giants applied the coup de grace, scoring three times in the ninth in- ning to take a 5-4 decision, Durocher, attempting to halt a five-game losing. streak, inserted three catchers, and a rookie out- fielder in the starting line-up. Catcher Bruce Edwards was at third, receiver Gil Hodges at first and backstop Roy Campanella, re- called Wednesday from St. Paul of the American association, behind the plate. Recruit George Shuba, up from Mobile of the southern as- sociation was in left field. The rookie came through in great style. Shuba got two hits and drove in the first Brooklyn run..Campan- ella collected two singles 'and a double and scored twice. ; Moving past the Dodgers who be-' gan the evening in sixth place were Chicago Cubs and Cincinnati Reds. The Cubs moved from eighth to seventh and the Reds from seventh to sixth as all major league teams played night games. Chicago turned back the Pirates 5-1 at Pittbusrgh and the Reds hsnded the econd-place St. Louis Cardinals their fourth straight de- feat 7-3. The Cubs nicked rookie Bob Chesties for only four hits -but four Pirate errors along with six walks, a wild pitch and walk by Chesnes made it easy for Russ Meyer to gain his eighth victory. Six Cardinal errors helped the Reds in 'downing the stumbling Red Birds. The Reds also did some hit- ting as Danny Litwhiler, Johnny Wyrostek and Grady Hatton park- ed homers. Stan Musial belted his 18th round-tripper for the Cardi- nals. The loss dropped the Cards 3% games back of the leading Boston Braves who came from behind and beat the Phillies 7-3 at Philadel- phia. } Cleveland Indians remained a half game ahead of the Philadel- phia Athletics in the tight Ameri- can League pennant race. The Indians came from behind and beat St. Louis Browns 8-6 with Joe Gordon's pair of two-run hom- ers accounting for the triumph. At Boston, the Athletics turned back the Red Sox 4-2, behind the six-hit pitching of rookie Lou Bris- sie. It was the A's ninth win in their last 10 starts. The third-place Yankees - were nosed out 2-1 in 12 innings by Washington Senators in New York. Oarden Gillenwater broke up a pit- cher's duel between Walt Masterton and the Yanks' Tommy Byrne by crashing his first home run of the year in the 12th inning. Masterson yielded only three hits. The victory moved the Senators over Detroit Tigers into fifth place by half a game. The Tigers dropped a 5-2 decision to the White Sox in Chicago. - FIGHTS LAST NIGHT New London, Conn.--Bobby Logan, 127, Martford, and Aponte Torres, 1241}, New York, drew (8). ¢ Columbus, O.--Young Bob Amos, 175, Detroit, ted the Alab Kid, 179, Columbus (10).

The big event takes place on Monday, July 5, when Wild Bil] Longson will defend his title against the very popular and able challenger, Earl McCready. There is a rumour cur MASKED MARVEL rently circulating that Longson is going to retire soon; however Pro- moter Pat Milosh has him signed for Monday, and he will definitely be here. This may be the first and last opportunity for many Oshawa wrestling fans to see the Champ in action. The semi-final bout is one that should create a great deal of inter- est. It brings together Pete Peter- son, who has never been defeated during his proefsiional career, and the "Masked Marvel', who has never been defeated since fighting under that jdentity. Not to be outdone, the prelimin- ary bout also has its attractions. It will give loca] fans an opportunity to see none other than Nanjo Singh the Horrible, pitted against the one and only Jimmy "Red" Simms. Stafjdings INTERNATIONAL LEAGUE WwW. L. Bet.

By KEN JOHNSON Canadian Press Staff Writer Toronto, July 2--(CP)--Taking a tip from the Louis-Walcott fight, pan (Kitchener-Waterloo Record) Odette swings a mean left at sports assandras. . i «Who said the sports bubble would burst when the war was over?" he asks. "Even now with the purchasing power of the dollar as low as it ever was, sports still con- tinue to draw customers through the gates in ever-increasing num- bers." Odette then goes on to point out how the turnstiles have been clock- ing a steady tune. Checking over the gate figures for the Louis-Wal- cott fight and the Zale-Graziano bout, Odette finds that 42,700 paid $842,000 to see the two "Joes" in action while 21,500 shelled out $335,- 600 to see 'Tony Zale clip Rocky Graziano. "Getting closer to home," Odette writes, "Kitchener Leglonaires are packing them in . . . in such num- bers that they are running between 6,000 and 7,000 over last year when a highly-successful season was re- ported. Remote Control While Uncle Mike Jacobs and worried Manhattan fight fans cast their eyes toward the rain-laden clouds which forced postponement of the world heavyweight cham- pionship battle last week, the effect was also felt several hundred miles away. Dan (Sudbury Star) Mackintesh reports that when the first ball was pitched last Thursday in the Nickel Belt Senior Baseball League game, only a handful of fans were on hand. Once the fans became certain there would be no fight that night, they started to trickle into the ball park until by the third inning "tar- dy fans turned up to make it a fair- sized crowd." Good Idea Ivan (Hamilton Spectator) Miller reports that the Ambitious City will have a big new electric scoreboard at its Civic Stadium. It should help Hamilton football fans count up the scores Wildcats and- Tigers hope to crack up against the opposition. "The best part of the new pro- ject," the canny Miller states, "is that it won't cdst the football teams or the city a dime."

Wilson's Nailers their first defeat' of the Oshawa Minor Softball Asso- ciation's Midget schedule, last night at Alexandra Park, by a 22-10 score. Over-anxious and jittery, the Nailers committed numerous errors, after taking a 2-0 lead in the top half of the second inning on a walk, single by Cook and Darling- ton's double. 4 In their second, Royals scored seven runs, Burnside opening with' a double. Two errors followed and then with two out, Howie, King and Etcher all singled. In the third frame, Royals added three runs on five' solid hits and two more bobbles and in the 4th inning, they staged a 6-run rally on four hits, including Howie's hom- er and one by Burnside, and an- other by Cooper, not to mention two bad errors by Haxton. Nailers steadied down after that and gave Royals only one more tally, in the inning. Tkaczuk pitched good ball for Royals all the way. He gave up 10 hits for 10 runs but he was very wild, walking 13 batters. Nailers left too many of these runners stranded on the bases, to win the game, their hitting beirfg very poor when most needed. After opening with two in the 2nd, Nailers got one in the fourth and three in the 5th on three walks and an error, and not a single hit. They finished strongly with 'two runs in each of the 8th and 9th frames but couldn't catch the coast- ing Royals. Woodcock, on the mound for Nailers, had fair.control, walking only three batters but his slants were not mystery to the Royals and they rapped him hard, for a total of 22 hits.

VICTORY ACES WALLOP PARK ROAD CHIEFS Victory Aces walloped Park Road Chiefs 21-12 last night at Rotary Park in a scheduled Midget League game, The heavy-hitting Aces took a de- cided liking to Snow's slants and they opened with a 4-run rally, add- ed five in the second and then scored every inning after that un- til the 7th and 8th but add- ed a final tally in the 9th, for good measure. Park Road Chiefs nearly as much success against Jones, the Victory Park hurler. They got two at the start and add- ed one in the second. In the 4th, they had a 3-run rally and got two in the 6th and one last run in the 7th and finished off wih a 3-run rally in the 9th, just to show they were at least not down-hearted. Comerford, Bryan and Barnes were the best for the losers while Zakarow, Seles, Hrico, Wasyluk and didn't have Stroz all had big nights at the plate for Victory Aces.

CENTRE COMBINES WIN OVER SIMCOE HALL Centre Combines beat out Simcoe Hall 9-7 last night at Centre St. School, in a scheduled Midget League game. Simcoe Hall opened with two runs and added three in the third inning and one in the 4th then Lack tightened up tnd he didn't give the Simcoe Hall boys another chance until the 7th, when they scored their last run of the game. Centre Combines got three in the third and then popped over two in the 5th to climb close. In the 7th inning, they staged a three- run rally to take the lead and their final run in the 8th, protected their lead. Starr was the big hitter for the winners, scoring twice besides. Copeland, Lack and Varga also helped out a lot. Ciyp, Tutak and Armstead - also hit well for the Simcoe Hall team. SIMCOE HALL--Bent, rf; Hryca- nuk, 2b; Czop, cf; J.

WESTMOUNT MIDGETS BUMP BATHE PARKERS Playing nifty defensive ball, al- most without errors, behind their pitcher Lewis, Westmount walloped Bathe Park Bombers 12-5 last night at Radio Park, in a Midget League game. Actually the game was much tighter than the score would show. Lewis was nicked for the odd hit as he went along, sometimes two in an inning, but he kept Bathe Park off the score-sheet' entirely, aided by good fielding from his mates, until the 8th inning, when he sud- denly. awakened and the visiting Bathe Park boys staged a 5-run rally, in a last-inning effort. On the other hand, Walker pitch- ed good ball for Bathe Park too, most of the time, but after giving up three hits for one run in the 2nd inning, he ran into a streak of wildness for walks and groove pitches for solid hits, in the 3rd inning. Westmount rapped 10 hits for 9 runs in that inning, to take a 10-0 lead. After that, Walker settled down and the Bathe Park team played good ball all the way after that. Westmount got two more runs, {n the 5th inning when Adey homered with Winnacott "abroad". In their big 9-run rally in the third, Shearer clouted a hom- er. Brown, Wallis and Walker were the only BathePark boys to show much at the plate.

At no time in the game was their anything to show on the Storie Park side of the ledger to indicate any of the power that was Eastview. Under the able pitching of Walk- er the Eastview squad made short work of the offerings of Jackson collecting 'sizeable run totals in every inning except the seventh, when each man went down on a 'deep outfield fly. Victor and Burr led the Eastview club at bat, although it was really hard to pick a star from such a galaxy. Storie Park's ace at the plate wes Kemp, who scored one of the runs in their six run second in- ning. Storie scored once in the fourth and twice in the sixth to make up their total. Eastview counted seven runs in the first and eighth frames, 10 in the third, five in the fifth, four in the sixth, with a single run in the fourth and two in the second to bring up the total to 36.

SIMCOE HALL REGISTER NO-HITTER ON WESTMOUNT Simcoe Hall were in the enviable position of having a no-hit pitcher on their roster last night, when Spiers clipped Westmount down to size allowing them no bingles, though he did let enough men on base for them to score two runs for a final count of 14-2. Simcoe Hall led 2-0 till the last of the sixth, when Westmount tied it up on Spiers' wildness. The first of the seventh saw the Simcoes get way out in frofit again though with a six-run rally. Then in the top of the ninth they accomplished the same feat sending home six runners and this upped their total to 14 and gave the Sim- coes the win 14-2. Comerford and Cole figured in the Westmount runs, while Riordan ry Spiers led the Hall attack at at.

HOLY TRINITY EDGE SUNNYSIDES 14-12 Holy Trinity Bantams slammed home four runs in the last of the ninth to take a 14-12 win from the Sunnyside Beavers down at Sunny- side Park last night. Hurst did the chucking for the Holy Trinity crew, and he was no slouch for the first two innings, but in the third he allowed in eight runs. This was as a result of wild- ness on his part combined with some bigwerrors. After thgt he calmed down and let in but one run in the fifth and another in the ninth, which with FIRST Oshawa Showing SEE IT... MONDAY Thrilling ! Exciting!

Brown, who did the slab work for the Beavers, on the other hand grew progressively easier to hit, and the Holy Trinity gang soon found this out.

Aces used a whole load of players and then some, in a try to find a winning combination, but nothing they could do could beat the steady twirling of Ramonuk on the Bomb- ers' mound. N. Chase and Mendrake were used as pitchers for the Aces but neither boy could get anywhere against the Bombers' bats Roman- uk gave up the Aces' runs' in the first and third frames, when they scored two and one run respect- ively. Bathe Park pecked away, getting single runs in the second, fourth, and sixth to tie the game. They then turned on the faucet and Ice the water on full, scoring five runs in the last of the seventh to put the Aces to flight.
