® 1 rain but the night THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1948 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE __ PAGE FIFTEEN | Big League Baseball Yesterday By RODEN Associated Sport Writer ' Victory is a must today for Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees. They have to win in order to keep alive their slim mathematical chance of overhauling Cleveland In- dians in the American League's pen- nang race. 'The Indians, two games ahead of the runner-up Red Sox and Yan- kees, are idle today, and New York and Boston defeats will insure the tribe of no worse than a tie for the crown. Should both the Yankees and Red Sox bow the Indians can clinch their first flag since 1920 by beat- ing Detroit Tigers Friday. All three of the contenders have three games ft "0 play. a shes with the seventh- place Washington Senators in Fen- way Park while the Yankees tackle the tough Athletics in Philadelphia. The Indians maintained their commanding two-game bulge by defeating Chicago White Sox 5-2 Wednesday, The Yankees downed the Athletics 4-2 and the Red Sox turned back Washington 5-1. - .

Louis 4-0 on six hits in g his 20th game of the season -~ J BOWLING TIMES-GOODFELLOW BOWLING LEAGUE Well, here we go again. bowling season is under ay. year we find a healthy conglomeration of Schmoos, Orphans, Cats, Beauties and Bums, etc, all in there with the idea of walking off with the Mundy Memorial Trophy next spring. To the newcomers to the league we extend a hearty welcome and to the old-timers we say 'watch your step" or you may find yourselves in this column--to your sOrrow. Tuesday night, with everybody bowl. ing from scratch, produced some very good scores. Only one team managed to capture four points and that team was '"'Baxter's Beauties." Incidentally, this team was named by captain Phyl Baxter after one glance at big "Joe" Taggart. Victims of the "Beauties" were L.C.'s (Elsles) Schmoos. Three teams secured three points and are tiéd for second spot, Esme's Aces, Verda's Victors and Bylines. Ollies Orphans sparked by team captain Olive Meisenheimer with a 241 single, broke even with Pat Salmers Battling Bums. The Red Cats, Pace Setters and Doris' Schmoos all had to be content with one point each. 8ix players topped the 600 mark and incidentally they were all men. How- ever, don't get the idea that this proves anything--just remember the perform- ances of Esme Willlams and Jean Southworth last year when they each rolled ten strikes in a row. That's something that may take a long time for the men to equal. The six who went over 600 this week were -- J. Shields, 666; F, Ball, 663; D. Dean, 643; R. Salmers, 617; L. Coles, 614, and A. Wilson, 603. Olive Meisenhelimer took the ladies' high single with 241 and then went on to top all the ladies in the triple with a nice 580. Jack Shields also took double honors in the gents' division. He rolled a grand 309 single and a 666 triple. Tolling over 200 on 'Tuesday night were: les -- V. Jackson, 233; R. Evans, 212; P. Baxter, 221; O. Meisen- heimer, 241, Men -- D. Dean, 216, 255; R. Salmers, 213, 246; H. Forshee, 212; A. Wilson, 243; C. Siveter, 232; J. Shields, 309; D. Warren, 215; P. Jeyes, 227; M. Wrightg 220; H. Wagar, 240; P. Perry, 244; F. Ball, 254, 283; D. Black- burn, 210; J, Baxter, 224; E. Peeling, 247; L. Coles, 226; A. MacKay, 229; J. Nantais, 216; V. Fickes, 218. The voting for a secretary for this season proved very close, there was only a difference of' one vote between the three candidates. Phyllis Adey was elected and we are sure that the play- ers made a good choice.' This job of secretary entails a lot of work and we WO! ask all team captains to co- operate with Phyllis to the very fullest extent by turning in score sheets that are clear and complete as well as on time. When all score sheets were in on Tuesday night it was discovered that two or three teams had failed to select a name for themselves. Perhaps after that first night's bowling some teams were calling themselves. really fancy names and did not feel like putting these names on paper. However where teams were not named it has been found. necessary to find names for them which, of course, can be changed if not satisfactory.

New York, Sept. 30--(AP)--When and if the Indians and Braves meet in the world series, it will be a team averaging 29,2 years in age against one averaging 29.9 years . . . That probably doesn't prove anything ex- cept that Cleveland's Joe Gordon isn't the only player who can carry the nickname of "old pro," but it also gives you an indication that few rookies have been able to make the pennant-winning grade so far . +. . The Indians range from 23- year-old Al Rosen up to Satchel Paige, who for convenience is peg- ged at 40; the Braves from Earl Torgeson, 24, to Nelson Potter, 37 . . . Since both managers use their men liberally, it isn't possible to strike an average for the "regulars" . . . but chances are if you listen carefully you'll be able to hear the creaking limbs over the crowd noises.

Hannigan has not been heard from by the Quebec club. th signed "Form C," a National Hockey League form, with the Maple Leafs who wanted to send McBride to the Pacific Coast League and Hanningan to Pittsburgh Hornets of the American Hockey League. "McBride wants to play with us and we'll do everything we can for him," coach Imlach said. "But $2,000 is a pretty steep price to pay, and we want to see what he has to offer before the club buys the right to sign him."

William Player Will Miss Series Due Broken Foot By BEN PHLEGAR Brooklyn, Sept. 30 (AP) --Jeff Heath's dreams of playing in his first 'World Series after 13 years in the big leagues lay shattered today in a plaster cast surrounding his left foot. The Boston Braves' Fort William- born outfielder broke the foot Wed- nesday trying to slide away from a tag at home plate in a game with Brooklyn. The game didn't mean a thing, since Boston already had won the National League pennant. The injury means a lot. It is so severe that Heath, now 32, may never play again. It robbed the Braves of their most powerful left- handed hitter and cut them to only three outfielders. Heath wasn't a defensive star, but he is familiar with Cleveland Stadium. He started his major- league career with the Indians. "Oh, why did I slide?" he moaned after being carried to the club- house. Manager Billy Southworth, who missed his first game of the season Wednesday, heard the bad news on the radio. Wednesday night he said he had made no decision on a possible series replacement for Heath. To add a player now he would need special permission from Baseball ! Chandler. Commissioner A. 'B. Guesses were that he would bring up Marv Rickert from Milwaukee of the American Association. Rick- ert, a left-hander, hit 27 home runs and drove in 117 runs this season. | NY, | A'MAN CAN'T AFFORD, {TO ARGUE IF HE I5™ | WRONG = IF HE'S RIGHT | There is no argument about Ontario Motor Sales service. |!

Manager Clay Hopper's high-fly- ing Royals qualified for a Little World Series berth Wednesday night by humbling the defending playoff champions, Syracuse Chiefs, 7-3. The victory was the Royals fourth in five games over the Chiefs in the best-of-seven final series. It is the second time in three years that the Royals have swept the pennant and playoffs. They performed the feat in 1946 under Hopper and went on to take the Little World Series from Louisville's American Association Colonels, four games to two. At the moment the American As- sociation still is playing its final series. St. Paul is leading Columbus two games to one. Both Montreal and St. Paul are Brooklyn farm clubs. Shortstop Bobby Morgan paced the Royals to victory Wednesday night. Morgan clouted a three-run homer and drove in four runs as the Royals made it three straight over Syracuse. The Royals piled up a 5-0 lead for Clarence Podbielan but the rookie right-hander had to be lift- ed in the sixth due to wildness. Al Zachary took over and held the Chiefs scoreless until the ninth when they tallied their final run. Dixie Howell went the route for Syracuse.

By KEN KELLY Edmonton; Sent. 30--(CP)--The Canadian west has been starved for a Dominion ring title the last few years but a slugging policeman from Edmonton hopes to set things right. He is Roddy MacDonald, Western Canada welterweight champion, whose promising ring career was brought to an abrupt end more than a year ago when he injured both hands. Johnny (Edmonton Journal) Hopkins has a word of explanation as to Ww the slim beat-pounder has agr to a comeback against Cliff Beckett, a Toronto. tornado who showed up well in exhibition bouts against Tony Zale and Sugar | Ray Robinson. "MacDonald, 27, is firmly confi- i dent he can win the middleweight crown. Combined with MacDonald's ability is his desire to prove to local scoffers that top-flight boxers can 2 be produced in the West." Jim (Edmonton Bulletin) Algeo quotes rock-a-bye Roddy as say- ing: "I can win that crown and I'm going to win it just to prove it to Edmonton fans. I'm in good shape and plan to stay that way until I win the laurels." Both boys took a look at Roddy's ring career which started in the Canadian Army. He won the Ca- nadian and British Army crowns in uniform and knocked out Elon Foquet, Belgian middleweight champ, in seven rounds. Roddy captured the Golden Gloves middleweight crown in 1045 then moved to Manhattan. He won 10 of 12 bouts before his hands gave out. Roddy figures it will take him four warm-ilp fights before he is ready to meet George Ross, the Nova Scotia' coal miner who holds the title at present. His Oct. 15 date with Beckett is the first step.
