' PACE TEN THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 28, 1948 HUNTERS LOSE $ Peterhoro Kiwanis Win 2-1 First Game of 0.B.A. Series With Oshawa Hunt Club Jrs. i ® A 4 & A 4 Jacquith Limits Hunters To 4 Hits And No Runs In First 8 Frames -- Oshawa's Tying Run Nipped At Plate To End Game -- Estlick Homers For Visitors -- Defensive Fielding Is Feature In the first game of their 2-of- 3 O.B.A. representative play-offs Peterborough Kiwanis nosed out Oshawa Hunt Club here last night . at Alexandra Park by the score of 2-1. : Nothing could have been closer than the battle staked between two good junior clubs, and with Gordie Brown serving up the balls and strikes for the locals, it seemed like a won cause till the Petes got that hitting idea into their head in the first of the fourth. Jacquith in Form Jacquith did a four-hit hurling job for the winning Kiwanis club and was troubled by the Oshawa batters in but one inning that the last of the ninth, when the locals scored their only tally. Neither pitcher was in a strike- out mood and most of the outs were made in the field. Both flies and infield dribblers seemed to be most popular blows by both teams as the pitchers tossed curve after curve at the thirsty batters. Neither club did any type of worrying till the top of the fourth inning came rolling around. Then the locals saw Estlick lead-off with a nifty homer to put the Kiwanians out in front by the score of 1-0. The rest of the side retired in order, but that one blow was en- ough to mean the game in a con- test as tight as this one. The next spurt worthy of men- tion came in the first of the eighth when the Petes made another rally to get the game winning run as it later. turned out. Laplante planted a double into right field past Dave Simpson. Jacquith laid down a perfect sacrifice and the runner moved to third. The Winning Run Giardino's ground out, short to first allowed the runner to cross the plate and the score read 2-0 for the Peterborough club. Jacquith held down the locals try for a decent reply in the last of the eighth with two strikeouts and a ground out. The first of the ninth passed and a small Peterborough attempt at a rally was squelched by some neat infield play. Came the last of that frame and Oshawa finally hit the scoring column. Jeff McGrath started when his loft into centre field was missed to put him on first base, Dave Simpson went down short to first to move the runner to second. Hanna did almost the same, hitting his dribbler to third for another out and the runner ambled on to third. Bruce Bird came through with one of his timely clouts, a = double into left field to score the * first Oshawa run. Bird's Two-Bagger A pinch-hitter was injected into the Hunters lineup to get in that trying run. George Wallace was the man and he hit a ball to the infield for what should have been an easy out at first. Bird had reached third when the "out" ~ proved to be a throw that pulled = the first baseman off the bag and = left Wal@lace safe, Bird was waved = to the plate, but the first baseman = recovered the ball barely in time 2 to make the throw to the plate 2 for the tag and the final out. Pet- erborough thus took the first game by the score of 2-1. The teams will play the second ~ game of the series back in Petér- S borough Friday night. PrERNA TERRIERS TREN R.H.E.

CER REA DY and things | | Sports Roundup By GAYLE TALBOT (For Hugh Fullerton, Jr.) New York, Aug. 25--(AP)--The last news item this correspondent picked up in London concerned Freddie Mills, the new light heavy- weight champion, who is supposed to be afflicted with a wandering vertebrae, or something, which will keep him out of the ring for a time. Our informant, who is close to the British boxing scene, broke out in a wide grin when we commented it was a tough break for Freddie, being forced to cancel a return fight with Gus Lesnevich on this side just when he was getting into the big money. J "Are you joking?" our British friend demanded. "Don't you hon- estly know what's wrong Mills?" He was assured that all we knew was that the doctors had said-- that Freddie was in no shape to fight Lesnevich or anybody else. We added that we were ready to believe this, inasmuch as Freddie, even in licking Lesnevich, had looked like a, man whose feafures might have been run through an egg beater. Scme Wonderful Beatings "True," our informant admitted. "Freddie has taken some wonderful beatings in his time. He looks shop- worn. But that isn't his trouble right now: All he's got is income tax trouble. "Your Americans are ready to be- lieve anything. But I'm trying to set you right, old boy. Freddie and his manager, Ted Broadribb, figured it out that they could clear exactly $2,000 from another fight with Gus this year. The British government would take the rest. "Now do you begin to see how sick Freddie is?" ; All Too Plausible He made it sound all too plaus- ible, especially since we had recent- ly seen promoter Jack Solomons in action on his home ground and had gained considerable respect for his talents. He is a smooth customer and a great showman. He had a sellout of 46,000 for the Lesnevich-Mills bout, and could have sold another 20,000 tickets if he had wished to expand his seating arrangement. If the British government ever amends its law requriing that at least one of the two fighters in the ring be a British citizen, Solomons will become a big figure in the world boxing picture. CRA.

Storie Park WHIPS AJAX, Ties Series Storie Park Bantams, with the | aid of a lot of enthusiastic home fans came through with a very convincing 27-7 win over Ajax Cubs in the second game of their 2-of- 3 O.AS.A. Bantam 1st round series, TTT last night at Storie Park. The win ties the play-off at one | game apiece, Ajax having won the | opener at home by the score atl 25-14. Third game cof the set is scheduled for neutral ground, but where that will be is still a ques- tion. : Gurney was the man who stopped the rampaging Ajax club cold, last | night in his role as giant-killing | pitcher. He mowed down the op- | position one, two, three, in the first inning on strikes, and didn't stop his "whiff-work" till the ninth, when his total of strike- outs had mounted to 18. Allows 3 Hits He allowed three hits to the Cubs and they used these plus a few errcrs and walks to make up their seven run total. Meanwhile | Storie Park got to the Ajax pitch- | er Butt, for 23 safeties and 27 runs | in quick time. It was his second | pitching stint of the series and he certainly was not the same hurler this time out. The Oshawa club banged in four runs in the first, added singletons in the second and third before the Ajax crew got into'form. Solomon, Gurney and Hood had all hit round-trippers for the locals by this time to account for the 6-0 score. © Ryfining up the Count ; Ajax 'got one run in the fourth, but Oshawa's three in. the last of the inning really squelched that. Storie added another run in the fifth, three in the sixth, six in the seventh and eight in the eighth for a total of 27. The Cubs counted another run in the top of the sixth, one in the seventh and four in the first | of the ninth for their final score of 7.

OSHAWA Ajax Juveniles defeated North Oshawa 10 to 2 on Monday night at Afax, to sweep their Ju- venile "B" O.A.S.A. series in two- straight games. With Johnson hurling steady ball for Ajax and getting excellent sup- port, North Oshawa didn't do much after the first three frames. In the first, Heaslip and Cameron both drew walks. A hit and error by Umphrey scored Heaslip with the first run of the game. In the 3rd, Varty hit a single and was scored later by Glover's hit and a fielder's choice pldy. North Oshawa failed to score after that, although they did threaten in a couple of spots. Ajax got their first run in the second inning and then in the 4th they staged a 6-run rally, with Deeth, Schmidke, Rowland and Collins all getting on base via a hit or a walk. Then with two out, Car- leton singled and so do Greenow and Johnson, to complete the big splurge. They added a singleton in the 5th on a hit and error and antoher hit by Collins and scored two in the Tth on hits by Deeth, Schmidke and Rowland. Glover pitched fair ball for Ajax, except for his bad 4th inning but his support was shaky throughout and Ajax were worthy winners of the round.

The Cabbies now advance into the second round of the province- wide Juvenile trophy hunt, meet- ing either a winner from the Tren- ton-Kingston play-off or one from the Lindsay-Mimico play-off. Which it will be, will be decided later this week. Return to Form The game last night saw the Cabbies playing their best ball since they met Oshawa Hunters in their | first Intra-City duel. The boys were playing a much improved brand of ball and seemed to have dropped cut of the slump that had been dogging their heels for some time past. Ab. Gilbert, the Motor City club's ace curve-ball man had the Peter- berough club toeing the. line all the way. He allowed six scattered hits for the one run counted against him and collecting 10 strikeouts in nine innings. Dorris chucked for the hometown | the Cabbies a from the cry peunded out crew and found batting club right "Play Ball", They ein stole 10 bases of ind his back. He all his mates com- mit e rrors to help the Osh- awa team no end in their quest for a win. Cakhies three-run f singled, stele second third on Mazaeson's drive field. That drive was m rolled right back to the the platter, made thefts of second and third base and scored when Mec Win In Peterboro Arthur grounded out, pitcher to first. Gilbert put the enemy out in order in the last of the inning and the Cabbies continued their bingle barrage in the top of the second. Two singles, an error and a hite by-the-pitcher shoved in three more tallies, Of course the Osh= awa kids stealing four bases had nothing to do with this rally. The last of the second saw Petes stage their most dangerous rally up until that time. Two Oshawa infield bobbles loaded the bases with none out. Corkery the next man to the plate lined the ball to the left of "Bunny" Maeson on first. He snagged it in a backhand attempt and made the toss to the plate to nip the run. Gilbert got Welsh on strikes and then forced Dorris to pop out to short left field, to end the threat. Cabbies made it 7-0 in the top of the third, scoring the run on a single, an errored plug at the pitcher and an attempted nipping of the run at the plate. Mike Mc- Arthur, the runner, was a bit too fast on his race from third though and the attempt was just that. Ziggy's Homer , Two more singletons in the fifth and seyenth made it 9-0 for Osh awa with not a murmur from the Peterborough crew. A neat double play. hy Oshawa in the last of the seventh was noteworthy, but their hitting effort in the top of the ninth was even more so. "Ziggy" Benkowski boomed out his first four-bagzer of the year with a man on, to make the count 11-0. 2 With two away in the lost of the nt safeties for their 11 runs and | ninth, Gilbert seemed to have the | strings tied on his shutout, but two sharp singles in succession by Wyate | and Corkery broke the goose-egg for the lone Kinsmen tally. Mec- | Gillen was the lucky man to cross, | the plate, before the final out w: made. R.HE.
