PAGE TWELVE THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER .29, 1948 BY Geo. H. Campbell ft =. "POR | Raranors Don't know whether you réad your sports news before supper or after, but you might still have time to catch that Senior "B" Ontario championship semi-final softball game at Alexandra Park tonight, if you hurry. Torpnto Fire Pighters and Oshawa GM-Colts play their third and deciding game tonight at Alexandra Park and the game is booked to start at four o'clock, which will be 4:15 o'clock by the time it gets going. Quite a few local softball fans are planning to take the game in, before they have their evening meal. ' It should be a nip- and-tuck tussle, with each team having won a verdict on the other club's home diamond and now on the spot, where it's win--or else. The winner meets St. Catharines in the Ontario Southern Finals, 4 + + When the month of October rolls around, most sport fans expect America's national game of baseball to dominate the news- papers for a few days, with the World Series being such an out- standing sports event that all other activities pale in comparison. However, baseball fans moved into prominence earlier this year, due to the hectic race in the American League. Cleveland Indians moved another full game ahead, are now two full games ahead of Boston and New York Yankees, both of whom dropped decisions yesterday. Gene Breardon blanked Chicago White Sox 11-0 for the Tribe yesterday while Philadelphia A's turned back Vic Raschi and the Yanks 5-2 while Washington Senators won right in Boston, 4-2. ; J * £3 * reierboro Panthers visit the Oshawa "Red Raiders" on Saturday at Alexandra Park, in a Lakeshore League Intermediate ORFU schedule fixture. This should prove a real battle, for the teams appear evenly matched. The Junice Red Raiders are away next Wednesday and do not play this week. Meanwhile, titre OCVI teams are practicing for their games and the junior squad goes to Trinity Schools on Saturday. Ld 3» +> Coach Tommy Anderson is whipping his charges through their nightly workouts at the Oshawa Arena and the flock of railbirds is increasing in size every night, indicating the increase of interest in the 1948-49 edition of the Oshawa Generals. The "weeding out" process has already commenced, a natural procedure since many of the young hopefuls attending the Oshawa hockey school are here on their own initiative and enthusiastic wish to catch a place with the team, rather than on invitation. Lack of skating ability is a para- mount handicap to a junior hockey player's ambitions. If a hockey player can not skate well, he has little prospect in the modern style of pell-mell rush and shoot hoclsey, that stresses skating with speed and skill, plus an ability to stick-handle and shoot--mostly shoot, with size also being a deciding factor, unless it's offset by a player's exceptional speed and ability. * * + With the Generals going at it hard every night "several of the newcomers and most of the regulation "imports" are beginning to show signs of power and ability. As one of the local keen hockey observers opined--the Generals may not have many stars this season but they look to be better-balanced than they have in the last five years. Being one of those who prefers to wait until Coach Tommy A¥derson has made his selections, before expressing an opinion, we are not offering any comments. Too often, a youngster looks to be "hot stuff" in practice and is n.g. in a game. They are known as "practice athletes" while ._ others, more valuable, often look very ordinary but in actual competi- fion, they have the inner-fire and urge to achieve greatness and always ccme up with their best performances in real games. At any rate, the hockey 'season is galloping up at a terrific rate--with the first game scheduled for Saturday, October 16, and that only about three weeks away. ' +> * * Men's Major five-pin bowlers are reminded that tomorrow (Thursday) is the deadline for signing up for the 1948-49 season and Manager Cliff Rendell has the membership cards at Motor City Alleys. * +* * DIAMOND DUST--Looking back on baseball, we find that the late Babe Ruth pitched his first game after a nine-year layoff as a hurler, 18 years ago last Monday, and pitched New York Yankees to a 9-3 victory over Boston Red Sox. The Bambino. pitched for Red Sox before becoming a slugging outfielder. And eight years ago today, Joe DiMaggio of the Yankees was crowned batting leader of the American League for the second time in succession and he ended the season with a .350 mark . . . Brooklyn Dodgers have announced that they will give pitcher Hugh Casey his unconditional release at the end of the season and he will likely go to Leo Durocher's New York Giants. Harold Parrott road secretary of the Dodgers, confirms this. Caséy is a Durocher man and he was the hero of the 1947 World Series, pitching in six of the seven games and winning the third and fourth for Dodgers, though Yankees won out. He missed most of this season with a back injury ... The Ogdensburg Maples, after winning the Border League this year, are now up for sale. They sold 13 players and released five on Monday. The franchise, held by three Ogdensburg men, has a working agreement with the Giants . . . The North American Sandlot Baseball "World Series" will be an annual event, the National Baseball Congress men have decided, with the locale of the series alternating each year in Canada and U.S, with Canada, Mexico, Venezuela, Puerto Rico and U.S. winners competing. : + 2 * SCISSORED SPORT-- (By The Canadian Press)--Fleming 'Mackell could be the answer to Conn Smythe's prayer. For years the Toronto Maple Leafs' manager has been searching for an Irish hockey player with the skill and fight of King Clancy, Hec Kilera and Frankie Finni- gan. Mackell's showing to date at the St. Catharines training camp indicates he may be the man. The stocky, 19-year-old right winger led the American Hockey League in scoring last year and has been one of the leading scorers in training workouts. Captain Teeter Kennedy leads with 15 scoring points while Mackell and Max Bentley share second spot with 13 each. Mackell was sent to Pittsburgh Hornets last year after three games with the Leafs. The year before he led St. Michael's College to the Memorial Cup. His father was a member of the Ottawa Senators in the early 1920's . . .

By NORMAN ALSTEDTER Canadian Press Staff Writer Lake Placid, N.Y., Sept. 29--(CP) --The youth movement started by Frank Boucher has taken hold in his New York Rangers of the Nat- ional: Hockey League. The 47-year-old Boucher, who ex- pects at any moment to become a grandfather, emphasized in an in- terview at fhe Blue Shirts trairing camp that the average age of the nine forwards currently slatzd for the Ranger roster is only 23--yeu:s younger than last year's team. Bigger Boys "And we are getting much bigger fellows these days," said the former star Ranger centre who capped a 25.year professional career when he became Rangers' manager in 1946. But despite the fact the Rangers have a "reliable" defence for the first: time since before the war, Boucher is making no predictions of how the Rangers will fare this season. Last year he made a perfect score in a pre-season prediction of how. the six N.H.L. teams would finish. It was in this order Toronto, De- troit, Boston, New York, Montreal and Chicago. . This year, he said, all the teams are strengthened to such an extent it is impossible to predict how they will fare. The tag-end Chicago Black Hawks will be a hard team to keep down this season, said Boucher, who won the Lady Byng trophy as most gentlemanly player so many times they finally gave him the cup and put a new one up. Younger Set The sharp, young line of Don Raleigh, Dunc Fisher and Nick Mi- kowski was outstanding in an ex- hibition game yesterday when the Rangers whipped their American Hockey League farm club, New Haven Ramblers, 10-1, Little Tony Leswick piled up four tallies with the aid of Edgar La- BROADWAY, BLUESHIRTS TRY YOUTH MOVEMENT TO PLILI prade and Eddie Kullman to put that line into the running for honors. Need Left-Winger Boucher, nis formerly coal.biack hair now flecked with grey, says his biggest worry is.a lefi-winger to fill out the line centering the high-scoring Buddy O'Connor and big Penttie Lund, a newcomer up from the Ramblers, The Blueshirts hope to. persuade Clint Albright, 22-year-old Winn:- peg amateur, to postpone finishing his mechanical engineering course at the University of Manitoba to fill the berth. But if worse comes to worse, the TLE ARM TrrD A Ea&NIVE [&F ] ebullient Phil Watson, 31-year-old Ranger veteran slated to coach New York Rovers, 'will be called back to resume active duty. Lots of Backing Boucher pointed with pride to a covey of defencemen -- Neil Coli. ville, Bill Moe, Frank Eddolls, Bill Shero, Wally Stanowski and Elwyn Morris. The last two were obtained in a trade with Toronto Maple Leafs for Bill Juzda, Cal Gardner and Rene Trudell. Chuck Raynor will be in the nets while Jim Henry, Rayner's partner in a resort business at Kenora, Ont., will probably start the season with the Ramblers. y INDIANS MOVE AHEAD N AL PENNANT PS * Cleveland's Riding High ~ Needing Only Two Wins To Capture A.L. Pennant Manager Lou Boudreau Will Blame His Own Club if They Miss Flag Boston Still Has Ideas -- Yankees Are Slipping Fast Cleveland, Sept. 20 -- (AP) --"If we lose the pennant now we'll have no one to blame but ourselves," Manager Lou Boudreau of Cleve- land Indians said today. That just about sums up the American-League baseball , race. Two up and only four games to go, the Indians can win the flag with- out any outside assistance, although further help from Philadelphia and Washington would be most wel- come. Two triumphs would insure the Tribe at least a tie. Three victories puts the Indians into the world series no matter how Boston and New York fare. Hard to Stop "Nothing short of a major catas- trophe can stop us now," Lou add- ed, "We have four games to go against clubs that we've beaten consistently. "The boys are hitting. The morale is high. There is no sign of jitters. Our pitching is in great shape. Bob Feller once again is the pitcher of old. Gene Bearden at this moment is the best left-hander in the Jea- gue. Bob Lemon, our big winner, is rarin' to go." : Undoubtedly Boudreau believes his elub is at its peak now. Jt has won 17 of its last 20 games includ- ing Tuesday night's 11-0 victory over Chicago White Sox. With luck the Indians could have won all 20. Their three defeats were each by one run. As Ted Lyons, White Sox leader, said Tuesday night: "In their (In- dians) present frame of mind, they're awfully tough to beat now. They are confident and cocky. They believe they can lick anybody." Boudreau planned to pitch Fel- ler today against the White Sox. This -will be the last meeting be- tween the two clubs. Bosox Dreams Boston, Sept. 20--(AP)--Joe Mc- Carthy still has hope for his fading Boston Red Sox in their day-to-day struggle to remain in the American- League race. "You never can tell about base- ball," he said Tuesday night in the standard quote reserved for all managers in a similar situation. When we're two games behind with only one to play, then we'll concede, not until then, he added. "Let them (Cleveland) clinch it and then maybe I'll have something to say .. . "You know who it's toughest on? The Yankees. I know just how it feels. You're world champions and you see that championship slipping a little more out of your fingers every game you lose. You say to yourself 'I'm just as good a man- ager as I was last year or the year before. Why aren't we winning? We're the champions!' Really Tough "That's - when it's tough. When you can see that championship just slipping out of your grasp and you know you can't get it back." As he finished dressing and came out of his private office into the Sox clubhouse, McCarthy spied Ted Williams, The "Kid" was sitting quietly in front 'of his locker. All the other players had gone. "Theres a kid that's been through a lot with me this year," he said. "He's a great kid." To somebody who had wondered last winter how McCarthy and Wil- liams were going to hit it off in Joe's first year as manager of the Sox this scene was a revelation. McCarthy, the manager who won eight pennants for the Yanks and one for Chicago Cubs, mag be whistling past the graveyard but he hasn't quit yet. Yankees Hopes Philadelphia, Sept. 29 -- (AP)-- New York Yankees, champions of the baseball world only a year ago, had little fight left today. To a man, Bucky Harris' warriors seemed to feel that they blew the big one Tuesday when they bowed to Carl Scheib, 21-year-old right- hander of Philadelphia Athletics, 5-2. Going into that one, the cham- plons felt they still had a .chance. Coming out of it, they were numb- ed. As they prepared to face Con- nie Mack's warriors in the second of the three-game series today, the Yanks were quiet, as if they had been brushed by a ghost. "There isn't much to say," Man- ager Harris intoned solemnly. "We got a couple of bad breaks yester- day. However, there are four more games to go. Maybe something good will happen." : Actually, the Yankees are much less than the team they were a year ago, when they outlasted pa- * American League Pennant Race Is In Home Stretch W L Pct GBL GTP 94 56 627 -- 4 92-58 613 2 14 92 58 613 2 4 Remaining schedule: Cleveland--Chicago, Sept. 29; De- troit, Oct. 1, 2, 3.

He will report next spring to Appleton, Wis. The 21-year-old right-hander hurled in the Minne- sota lumber camps. Gallinger Expects Personal Hearing Before N.H.L. Board Port Colborne, Sept. 20--(CP)-- Don 'Gallinger said Tuesday he ex- pected to make a personal appear- ance before the National Hockey League Board of Governors, to pro-. test his expulsion from the League over gambling charges, announced from Montreal. : The former member of Boston Bruins said one of Canada's leading lawyers--whom he declined to name at the moment--is handling his case and has made arrangements for the appearance before the board. Gallinger, playing manager for the Waterloo Senior team in the Intercounty Baseball League this summer, declined to cemment further. Pi Hull City Win Sets Record In Winning 1st Nine London, Sept. 20-- (Reuters) --Hull City, second-place holders of the English Football League's Third Division, set a League record Tues- day by defeating Accrington Stan- ley 2-1, in a scheduled match. The win was Hull's ninth consecutive victory this season. . Rotherham is leading the Divis- ion, having played one game more than Hull. No club previously has won its first nine games of the season. Actually Hull has played 10 matches but one of the games will be replayed. In that contest Hull was leading Oldham when play was called five minutes before game time, due to poor light. No other English League matches were scheduled Tuesday.

The revived Alouettes tackle Ar- gos here Saturday in a game that will make-or-break their playoff hopes. An Alouette triumph will move them into a tie with Argos, giving each team identical records of three wins and three losses. With all their injured players back in action Tuesday night, Alou- ettes gave their best showing of the seasc™. Their last-half passing ate tack was too much. for the Wildcats, who again displayed lack of stay- ing power. Steve Nemeth, who came to the Als from Baltimore Colts of the All-America conference, led the Montreal aerial offensive. He toss- ed perfect strikes to end Ralph Toohey for two touchdowns. He converted all five Montreal touch- downs and kicked a "field goal. The other Alouette touchdowns | went to Glen Douglas, Bob Cun- ningham and veteran Ches Mc- Cance.

With Hamilton leading 6-3 the turning point came when speedy Joey Pal and Glen Douglas com- bined for a 88-yard touchdown dash in the second quarter. With the ball on the Montreal 12-yard line, Pal sliced through a big hole and drove Monday, while a drenching rain |to the 50, reversed his field neatly beat down steadily, Brydson tied with Fred Wood, of Vancouver Shaughnessy and Ben Colk of Van- couver Langara with cards of 146 for 36 holes.

At one stage he had pulled even as the Mississuaga mentor went one over on three successive holes. Then Brydson rammed home a Iurdie three on the eighth where Leonard took a disastrous five, although Leonard romped home in 34, one under, he missed a first-place tie by a stroke when a 35-foot putt for an eagle on the home hole hung on the lip.

TIGERS WIN EXHIBITION TILT FROM WESTMOUNT The starry little Westmount girls team, winners in their own division, came up against stiff competition when they stacked up against the C.O.F. Tigers, winners of their di- vision, in an exhibition game played at Radio Park Saturday afternoon. It was a well played contest and a much better game than the score 32-9, would indicate. The Westmount team coached by Keith Craggs, are a smart little club, playing heads up ball, all the way through, and could be com- pared with the Peterboro Maids. The Tigers, who started the sea- son with only three veterans, have improved steadily throughout the season, and their heavy hitting and sparkling fielding are a credit to their coaches, Bernard Kinlin and Fred McMillan. Jean MclIsaac started on the mound for Westmount and pitched an excellent game for a junior play- er but was relieved in ihe eighth by Bea Bouine. Marion St. An- drews went the route for the Tigers, and whenever the Westmount team pressed, retired the side via the strike out route.
