gd FRIDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1948 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE ELEVEN | Big League Baseball Yesterday By RALPH RODEN Detroit's Tigers once again stand in the way of Cleveland's bid for its first American League cham- pionship since 1920. The Indians, who lead the run- 'mer-up Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees by 1% games, clash with the Tigers in the opener of a Usfag-game ries in Cleveland to- A Cleveland victory will assure |A the Indians of at least a tie for the league crown. Two Cleveland tri- 'umphs or one victory coupled with one loss by New York and Boston will enable the Indians to clinch - the pennant. Only Method The only way the Yankees or Red Sox can beat the Indians out is to win their two remaining games while the Indians lose all of their three. The Yankees and Red Sox, 'idle today, clash .in Boston tomor- row in the opener of a two-game series. In order for the race to end in a three-way tie the Red Sox and Yankees will have to divide their two games while Cleveland drops -all of its three. Eight years ago the Tigers not only blocked a Cleveland flag drive ¥ "®, but went on to grab the pennant ¥ themselves. The . Yankees beat Philadelphia Athletics, 9-7 and the Red Sox knocked off Washington Senators, 7-3, Thursday to keep their faint flag hopes alive. The Indians had the day off. Nifty relief pitching on the part of Vic Raschi saved the day for the Yankees. The Yankee right-hander entered the game in the ninth in- ning with Elmer Valo at bat with .a 3-1 count, the bases loaded and one out. ; Ball Four! Raschi threw a fourth ball to Valo to force in the Athletics sev- enth run but he then fanned slug- ger Sam Chapman and got Buddy Rosar to fly out to end the game. Joe Coleman was pounded out in thh second inning when the Yan- ees scored four runs after tallying two in the first. The Red Sox, led by Dom Di- Maggio and Johnny Pesky socked three Washington pitchers for 15 hits. Pesky and DiMaggio collected three safeties apiece and drove in five runs between "them. Lefty Mel Parnell started for the Red Sox and gained his 15th victory and fifth of the season over the Nats. Parnell allowed two runs in Jhe sixth on agwalk: and Ed Stew- 's homer. e rookie bowed out W. in favor of Earl Johnson in the seventh after yielding Washington's final run on three singles. Tigers Bump Browns THe Tigers turned back St. Louis Browns, 7-2 in the other American League game. Young Ted Gray scattered seven hits in hanging up his sixth victory in eight decisions. In the National League St. Louis Cardindis took both ends of a day- night doubleheader from Pittsburgh Pirates, 6-1 and 4-1 to tie Brooklyn Dodgers for second place. Stan Musial's 39th homer with two on and Ron Northey's 11th with none on in the first inning featured the Cards' day game victory. Harry (The Cat) 'Brecheen posted his 20th victory against seven losses while stopping the Pirates on seven safeties in the night game. Chicago Cubs tied Cincinnati Reds for seventh place as young Cliff Chambers shaded veteran Ken Raffensberger of the Reds. 1-0. The Dodgers scheduled game with Boston was postponed because of rain, New York and Philadelphia were idle. | Sailors Will Seek - Junior B Grouping Port Colborne, Oct. 1 -- Port Colborne will have a Junior B hoc- key team this season and will apply for admission to the group which includes Brantford, Kitchener, Galt, Preston, Stratford, St. Catharines and Hamilton. Welland is also ap- plying for admission to the group. The executive of the Port Col- borne Junior Sailors held their or- ganizaation meeting yesterday and decided to take the step into the fast Junior B group. Their decision followed a review of the players available for this years team, in- cluding two former Tars who have returned from Toronto teams. They will bolster weak spots with players to be secured from other territory.

HNN WARAARL AUR aaR THE STORE LEAGUE The competition last Tuesday was keener due to the distribution of handi- caps. Many teams that didn't get started last week were able to cheer when the sheets were added. Last week we mentioned Pete Sim- mons and his neat 415 single. This week we are proud to shake hands with another man who doesn't believe in using too many bowls, that man is Rae Halliday. Rae's score sheet read 400 but a slight error in addition dropped Rae's score to 399 which isn't bad either, Bet you can't do it next week Rae. D. Bright finished one game with 330 score. High single honors go to Stan Simp- son 776, Johnny Shaw 753, Eric Pym 738 The Silents split points with Skin- ners; Pedlars allow only one to Hallidays. The Pros accepted a zero when they met Comcos. The Nationals waltzed off with three when they met Loblaws North. South Loblaws did better when they took three from Do- minion. Alger Press and Powells agreed to share alike. Collis went home with 3 from A, & P. The Barbers and O.B.L. met and the former wanted and got 3 without Johnny Shaw. Comcos ... 8 Pedlars Algers .

FITTINGS SPORTS AND SOCIAL CLUB You will pardon me if I don't use the word "bowlers" in this column this week because after looking at last Wednesday night's bowling scores my conscience wouldn't permit me. Last Wednesday there was some ex- cuse due to the fact it was the first night of bowling but the scores this week were even lower than last. We all deserve a lemon but there just aren't enough to go round. Let's get in there next week so I'll be able to use that "unmentionable" word. In section A the teams are running pretty close together with the 'Links' on top with 6 points but the other teams in that section will have a very good chance to catch up next week. The lowest team in that group is the "Flash Moulders" with only points and they will have to try hard next week to get up near the top. In section B there are two teams who seem to be pulling out in front and they are the "Pattern Dept." and the "Froth Blowers" each having 8 points and the other teams are going to have to do some fancy bowling next week in order to keep in the running. We are splitting the lemon in half this week and it goes to H. MoGillis (66) and J. Cosmos (66). Below find listed the outstanding scores for this week and team stand- ings. .

By WALLY IZSAK Canadian Press Staff Writer Toronto, Oct. 1--(CP) -- What price coaching undefeated 'fontba'l and basketball teams? People don't believe you can lose--that's what, Coach Johnny Metras of the In- tercollegiate . football champion University of Western Ontario Mustangs is a firm believer in the old adage "You can't win them all." But he has a hard time mak- ing others string along with him. And no wonder, writes Jack (London Free Press) Park. Metras has one of the best unbeaten rec. ords in sport. Metras took over as full-time coach after the undefeat- ed season of 1939 and since then his football team has not lost one Intercollegiate game, while his bas- ketball team has suffered only one overtime loss, "However, there is much meat in Metras' mumblings," says Park. "There will come a day when his Mustangs will bite the dust." "Metras, however, is still the same unhappy monsieur. He hasn't smiled since the training season opened, even if he has more back- field stars than Heinz has pickles. We a]ways thought it mus: be great to be top hand in any busi- ness, but after observing Metras over a period of years we are in- clined to wonder a bit." Hope Times Have Changed Tom (Timmins Press) O'Lough- lin relates how 'he recently came across a 1941 program of the Atlan- tic City Sea Gulls hockey team in which there was a story akout Cochrane's Sammy Fasano, a right winger with the club. . "Fasano spends his summers at his home in Cochrane trying to put ) on a little more weight for the en. suing hockey season. Incidentally, Sammy's home is just about as far north as any inhabited spot in On- tario. Cochrane has six months of daylight and six months of dark- ness. Sammy tells us the natives wear sun glasses in winter months tq protect their eyes from the con- 286 | stant reflection of the sun on the snow."

MA : Burris n New York, Oct, 1--(AP)--Looking at the pictures of the slide in which Jeff Heath, a native of Fort William, broke his ankle, you won- der why most ball clubs no longer have sliding pits at their training camps . . . After 12 seasons in the majors, Jeff was sliding as awk- wardly as any rookie you ever saw. . . . To emphasize the point, the same papers show photos of other Major Leaguers sliding on. their shins and ankles in a way that just invites broken bones or twisted joints . . . Besides setting a few atendance records at Cleveland, Bill Veeck has aroused the wrath of other American League Club own- ers by raising the daily food allow= ance for his players. After the big- wigs, including Veeck, had set the fee at $6, Bill, without asking the others, increased it to $7.50 for the Indians . . , Maybe he never heard that "hungry" teams win pennants. Steve Hamas, one-time heavy- weight title contender, has a son ready to enter his old collége, Penn State, next year . . . The Major League clubs had better quit brag- ging about their attendance. It might give some of their players ideas when it comes to talking sal- ary for next year ... The Roosevelt raceway at Westbury, N.Y. will be the scene of trotting races until Nov. 6.
