BA THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, -1948 & THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE a PAGE FIFTEEN Spicy Bits From Other Sports ( Cols. By EDGAR SIMON Canadian Press Staff Writer Edmonton, Sept. 16 -- (CP) -- It took a while to flush him out of hiding, but someone has finally been found to put in a good word for the Olympic Games. He's Eric Duggan, an Edmonton member of the touring group of 25 Canadian Air Cadets who took in the games in the couse of an ex- change visit to Britain last summer. Eric told Jim (Edmonton Bulletin) McCurdy he enjoyed the show. The Cadets sat through a down- pour to watch Fany Blakers-Keon, the Netherlands housewife, sweep to two of her three track titles. They watched the Olympic water polo in a swimming-pool section that could have housed a hockey rink. Duggan wasn't all enthusiasm. He didn't think much of the "funny, cofused English style" in which the games were run off, and he thought Canada's athletes could have had better training. Rest For Reardon The Western Canada Senior 'Hockey League may be plenty tough, but at least one newcomer is looking forward to an easier time of it in the Prairie loop. He's Larry Reardon, younger bro- ther of the National Hockey Lea- gue's Ken and Terry, who'll wear a Calgary uniform this winter. Larry told Hec (Calgary Herald) McLean he was looking forward to a comparatively soft season. No Leisure Time Playing for the last three seasons with Portland of the Pacific Coast League, Larry is used to five games every eight days in a 66-game schedule. plus exhibitions and play- offs. He'll average two games a week over a 48-game season in Cal- gary, with no exhibition games added. --- INTERNATIONAL LEAGUE offs Playof SERIES A Best-Four-Out-of-Seven W.- L 0 sday's Results Montieal [0 8 Re vie. . racuse at Newark--! , 7 Tuesday's Night Result 4 Rochester........ 3 Syracuse ewar Wednesday's Results Syracuse 4 ewark. .. ¥ Tuesday's Night Result Newark 12 Syracuse....

For ed. Border League 'Produces Upsets Ogdensburg Maples now are in a position to oust the pennant-win- ning Ottawa Nationals from the Border Baseball League's playoffs. A victory tonight by the third- place Ogdensburg club would eli- minate Ottawa from the semi-final round. The Maples achieved a 3-1 series edge at Ottawa Wednesday night by whipping the Nationals 7-3. 1 Geneva Red Birds, meanwhile, beat Watertown Athletics 6-2. The teams are tied 2-2 in their best-of- seven series. Ogdensburg manager Fred Wein, who hit safely four times in five chances, drove in two of the four runs the Maples scored in the first inning last night. Harry Baker re- lieved Jim Craig on the Ottawa mound in that inning and allowed the winners only one earned run. In the bottom half of the first, right-fielder Doug Harvey hit an in-the-park homer that netted the Nationals two runs. The Red Birds' goose Gosselin tossed a three-hitter at the Ath- letics, struck out. seven men and walked only two. The only hit that counted was Tony Romeo's, in the seventh, Combined with a base on balls and two of Geneva's three er- rors, it was worth two runs, Wat- ertown's whole score. Sport Shorts From Britain London, Sept. 14.--(CP)-- Weep- ing Welshmen sang "Land of My Fathers" and "Sospan Fach" ("Lit- tle Saucepan," hometown song of Llanelly) when Glamorgan -- the "ugly ducklings" of cricket--came triumphantly home with Wales' first county championship. It was almost midnight at Cardiff station. Special police were draft- ed to control the homecoming cele- bration, But the cheering, happy, almost hysterical throng broke police cordons and mobbed the players. "This is a red-letter day for Gla- morgan," said J. C. Clay, 50-year- old Test selector who had taken the last Hampshire wicket which brought the title to Wales. The result made Glamorgan cricket Cinderellas.. Twenty-seven years ago, against the advice of doubting experts, they were ad- mitted to first class competition. Season after season, they failed in the field; financial disaster loom- Sweepstakes, dances, whist drives and a shilling fund were or- ganized to keep the team going. Even this year, Welshmen con- ceded, Glamorgan wasn't the best bowling or betting side in the championship race. Glamorgan's success was brought about by team spirit," Clay told the crowd. Riddle: can a player who has never been on the field of play score a goal in a soccer game? One player could, and did. The outside left of a Westminster Bank team, playing a minor cup tie against Old Stationers in 1937, ar- rived late. When he obtained per- mission from the referees to take part, his side had just been given a corner kick. Without stepping over the touch-line into the field of play, the outside left took the kick--and scored. Keith Miller, the Australian fast bowler, carries a match box giving essayist Charles Lamb's response when he was hissed during a lec- ture. "There are only three things," said Lamb, "that hiss--a goose, a snake and a fool. Come forth and be identified." Miller was given the match box i Big League Baseball Yesterday Boston Red Sox's inability to beat the White Sox consistently at Chicago's Comiskey Park this year could cost the Red Sox the Ameri- can League pennant. Boston murdered Chicago in its own Fenway Park this season, tak- ing 10 out of 11 games but the White Sox gained sweet revenge once they got the Red Sox in Chi- cago. Ted Lyons' tail-end White Sox handed the league-leading Red Sox their worst beating of the season Wednesday, 17-10, in winning their seventh game in 11 starts against Boston at Comiskey Park. A 10-run seventh-inning uprising by the White Sox turned what was a ball game into a rout. While the White Sox upset the Red Sox, Chicago's other last place entry in the majors, the Cubs, con- tinued to act as "cousins" for the National League's pennant-bound Boston Braves. The Braves, aided by four errors, clipped the Cubs, 5-2 in their final meeting of the season with Charley Grimm's crew. The triumph was the Braves' 16th over the Cubs in 22 outings this season. Lefty Warren Spahn scattered nine Chicago hits in winning his 14th game of the year. The triumph enabled the Braves to stay five games ahead of the runner-up pittsburgh Pirates. The Pirates whipped the Giants, 8-3 in New York. ¥rnie Bonham checked the Giants on seven hits, two of them homers by Whitey Lockman and Johnny Mize, PY The St. Louis Cardinals moved into a tie with the Brooklyn Dodg- ers for third place, a half game behind Pittsburgh, by beating Philadelphia 2-0 while the Dodgers split a twin bill with Cincinnati Reds. After the Reds edged the Dodg- ers, 3-2 in the opener behind the six hit pitching of Howie Fox, the Dodgers grabbed the nightcap, 2-1 as Lefty Preacher Roe spun a seven-hitter for his 10th win. Big George Munger stopped the Phils under the lights at Philadel- phia on three hits as the Cards blanked the Phils for the second straight night. In the other American League games, the Detroit Tigers beat the Washington Senators, 4-2 and the Philadelphia Athletics nipped the Browns, 8-7 in 12 innings in a night game at St. Louis. Rookie Lou Kretlow scattered nine Washington hits in his first major league start of the season. The loss extended Washington's losing streak to 15 games, their longest since the 1903 team lost 13 straight. Ferris Fain doubled home Eddie Joost with the payoff run in Phila- delphia's victory. Dick Fowler of Toronto went the distance for the A's to rack up his 15th triumph. by a sympathetic spectator after the crowd hissed the Australian in a test cricket match at Nottingham. Olympic post-mortem: Prize for the most unexpected quote of the month goes to a Burmese weight- lifter, Maung Win Maung. Re- turning home from the Olympic Games, Maung attributed his de- feat to food--good food. "Your English food is too good," he said. "I gained six pounds. I've been taking four Turkish baths a day, but I'm still not back to the 126 pounds I was when I left Rangoon." RN 2c by goa IF YOU SEE GOOD IN EVERYBODY, NEARLY EVERYBODY WILL SEE "~GOOD IN YOU.

'International League Action By The As sociated Press The pennant-winning Montreal Royals Wednesday night took a commanding lead over the plucky Rochester Red Wings in the semi- final round of the International League's Shaughnessy playoffs ser- ies. Manager Clay Hopper's crew de- feated the Red Wings 8-6 for their second straight victory in the best- of-five series. In the other semi-fi- nal series, Syracuse Chiefs downed Newark Bears 4-2 to square their set at a game apiece. The -Wings, as in the first game, battled the Royals right down to the wire. With two out in the ninth, Vern Benson and Glen Nelson sin- gled for Rochester to put the tying runs on base.

Loch Sheldrake, N.Y., Sept. 16 -- (AP)--Back in 1939, Marcel Cerdan had a contract to fight Henry Arm- strong for the welterweight boxing championship in Paris . .. A war interfered, 'but Marcel has been thinking about world champion- ships ever since . . . He and his entourage here may be the only ones who think Cerdan will lift the middleweight crown from Tony Zale next Tuesday, but they're serious about it . , , Cerdan has asked for a contract change to permit him to make his first title defence in Paris instead of the United States and he laughs off the fact that the French title was taken away from him the other day . . ., After watching Cerdan spar five rough rounds Wednesday, this observer doesn't agree with that line of thought . . . Three sparring partners, who are no Zales, seemed to find him too easy to hit . . . "Marcel never was knocked down by a body punch in Europe," Manager Lucien Roupp said confidently , . . "He will be in Jersey City" commented a listener. Who Saw That? During a post-workout interview, Roupp was explaining that he had seen pictures of Zale's last fight with Rocky Graziano and, like Max Schmeling, had observed a few things that might be useful in the coming bout . . . Someone asked Cerdan a question about the films and it was explained that Marcel hadn't been given a view of those pictures because Graziano looked S0 bad and Zale so good . . . Listen- ing with a puzzled look on his face, Cerdan finally got the drift of the conversation and came out with one of his few English sentences: "I'll see him September 21." Definite Statement Concerning Louis' = retirement, John Carmichael, the travelling scribe from Chicago, tells of seeing Joe playing golf at Tam O'Shanter recently , . . As Carmichael ap- proached, Joe missed a difficult 30 foot putt and John gave out with a derisive laugh . . . Louls turned quickly and remarked: "It's a good thing for you I've retired."
