'TUESDAY, MAY 16, 1950 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE ELEVEN CHECKING WITH BOB RIFE or Oshawa Transporters junior base- ball club have received their new uniforms and the whole squad are just itching for the chance to wear the snappy outfits. Built on big league lines with zipper fronts, flap pockets and a smart grey and red color scheme, they tre bound to be a bright spot come their opening game this Saturday afternoon at the Stadium. Whitby will supply the opposi- tion and from what is rumored around and about, the County Town entry will up its status from Inter. "B" to "A" using a few Oshawa players to make them strong enough for the jump. Bowmanville are said to feel they'd like to do the same thing which should make it an even tougher league for the junior Transporters. Brian McAllister, ace defenceman with the Junior B hockey club, has turned out with the club and ac- cording to Snowball Wilson, he shows a keen batting eye. If Snow gets any more hot players he really will be snowy on top from his ef- forts to pick the right man for each position, The Little Moose is really rollin' these days. We mean of course, Wally Mozewsky, younger brother of Ray and Frank. The whole family, were athletically in- clined, but Wally seems to lean a little further than the rest. The other day he piled up top individual honors at the O.C.V.I. track and field meet. Then just a few days later at the Lake Ontario District meet, he did the very same thing over a field of athletes from all over this middle part of the province, The guy is slightly sensation- al, but he seems to be taking it all in his stride, working harder and always willing to listen. That's the kind of ath- lete who should top the polls in a school and Wally does just that, He plays a great game of football on the half line, star- red at centre in basketball and now on the cinder track has ON SPORT ship material. He'll be pulling down the walls to get at us after this, but we figure such a guy needs this kind of a pat on the back. (7d Next Monday and Tuesday nights the Oshawa Public Schools will be letting everyone in the dist- rict in on their Physical Education program. Yep, they're holding a mass demonstration .of everything from folk dances to calisthenics at the Arena and it should make quite a show. Tom Cotie, head of the P.HE. department for the local schools is the person in: charge and he passes the word along to us that although these boys and girls are pretty young, their work is really something to talk about. He's proud of their work, the parents are proud of their children, the teachers of all the schools are happy about the situation . . . everybody's happy and will likely all be present at this first-of-its- kind show. CHECKLETS--Craig Robert- son, one-time member of the Oshawa Generals hockey club this year, is pitching in the - North 'Toronto Junjor baseball loop. He does his stuff for Lions of that league and got into a little schemozzle along with his coach over a balk rule call by the umpire. Both coach and and player were ushered from the field. s Strangely enough the winning pitcher for Peter Pan Cleaners was another former Oshawa General, Moe Galand. Moe al- ways was regarded highly as a pitcher by another General, Don Hall who also made himself a spot on the Sammy Zale- coached Peter Pan outfit. Ken Trinkle was doing a not too bad job of relief work for the forces of Jack Sanford last last week. Both his chores end- ed in victory. Sort of a junior Joe Fireman Page.

The deadline goes into effect to- morrow at midnight, exactly a month after the start of the season. A feverish two days of buying and selling resulted in the release of 13 players and the sale of two others to rival clubs in the majors. More are sure to feel the ax. With some 30 hours to go, there are 19 surplus athletes, Brooklyn's Dodgers, with 30 on their roster, must dispose of five. Detroit is next with three over the limit. Cleveland, Pittsburgh and = Philadelphia Phillies were faced with two amputations while Washington, the two St. Louis clubs, Cincinnati, and the Chicago Cubs were one over apiece. Already In Limit Clubs already within the prescrib- ed limit include the two Boston and New York clubs, Chicago White Sox and Philadelphia Athletics. The Yankees have 25 exclusive of Dick Wakefield. They were given spe- cial permission to carry. the extra man indefinitely. The Giants were expected to bring up outfielder Monte Irvin from their Jersey City farm club and release veteran fly- chaser Mike McCormick. The Yankees lopped off five play- ers Monday. They sold outfielder Johnny Lindell to the Cardinals, pitcher Clarence Marshall to the Browns and optioned veteran first baseman Johnny Mize, rookie in- fielder Al (Billy) Martin and pitcher Duane Pillette to their Kansas City farm club of the eric Association. Anne Giants optioned pitcher Frank Fanovich to Minneapolis and outfielder Pete Milne to Jersey City. Fanovich, a bonus player, was obtained via waivers from the Reds. White Sox Action The White Sox assigned short- stop Jim Baumer to Colorado Springs of the Western Association, and released pitcher Bill Connelly to 'Toledo. Baumer is a bonus player signed by the Sox last year. The Cubs placed Hal Jeffcoat on the voluntary retired list and re- called Bob Borkowski from Spring- field of the International League to take his place in the outfield. Jeffcoat broke his collar bone in a game Sunday. The Red Sox, after sending pitch- er Bob Gillespie to Sacramento and Gordon Mueller to Louisville, re- called Jim Suchecki, another pitch- er. Suchecki had a 2-2 record with ' Louisville.. The Braves optioned Walter Linden to Milwaukee to get down to the prescribed player limit. Only one regular game Was scheduled Monday: That between the Dodgers and Braves in Brook- lyn. Rain, however, washed it off the boards just as the teams were getting ready to start. ARENA MEN STILL TALKING Woodstock, May 16.--(CP)--More than 30 Arena Managers and offic- ials from various parts of Ontario attended a meeting of the Ontario Arena Association here Sunday.

New York, May 16--(AP) -- A baseball scout who recently toured the Carolinas departed with the comment that he'd better find some players soon or he wouldn't be scouting any more . . .And another baseball-wise gent from the saome sector adds there is an "alarming" shortage of youngsters who have a real future in the game. , .Don't ask us why.

Roger Bowman went th: distance for Jersey City, marking the sixth complete game turned in by a Giant pitcher in the last eight games. The Giants sped to a 16-2 lead after four innings, handing Roches- ter starter Dick Bokelmann his third loss. Nap Reyes, Fred Gerken and Stan Jok hit homers for the winners, while Russ Dermy slapped one for Rochester, All was not lost for the 1,143 Rochester fans, though.

The Amateur Hockey Association of the United States announced Monday following its annual meeting that the Spokane (Wash.) Flyers have been awarded the western title and the Chatham (Ont.) Maroons the eastern crown. Each team will have possession of the senior United States trophy for six months. Spokane, representing the Kootenay League comprised mostly of British Columbia clubs, was to have entered a playoff for the 1950 national senior championship with Chatham, playoff winner of the International Amateur League. Their meeting was delayed and the Spokane team disbanded before a champion was determined. A squabble developed over which club would be given the title. The U.S.A.H.A. ruled that it would prefer to recognize two sectional champions rather than decide a single titleholder by legislation, instead of actual competition. To guard against a repetition of the mix-up the convention adopted a new playoff plan for 1950-51 in which the country will be divided into four zones, with champions from each zone meeting in two semi-final playoff rounds and winners going on to a title series . , . The first small community in Ontario to vote in favor of Sunday sports is Port Dover, resort hamlet on the Lake Erie shore 25 miles south of Brantford. Under provincial legislation Sunday sports are permitted in communities that vote in favor in local plebiscites, and Toronto and Windsor have already done so. Monday Port Dover voted almost three to one in favor, Less than one-third of the eligible voters, 1,640, cast their ballots. They voted 365 in favor, 133 against. * * +» Decision of which Canadian city will be awarded the 1954 British Empire Games will not be made for at least a week. Ken Yost of Winni- peg, national secretary of the Amateur Athletic Union of Canada, Monday said balloting had been held up because of flood conditions in Manitoba. "Some of the letters explaining the voting didn't get out of Winnipeg until late last week due to the floods," Yost said, "It probably will be at least a week before complete returns are in." , . , More than 350 horses already are at Blue Bonnets race track at Montreal for the opening of the racing season next Saturday, it was announced Monday.

Track and Field Team 'Marches to One-Sided Victory In Lake Ontario Dist. Feet Mozewsky - Harris Com- bination Garners Seven Firsts and One Second Between Them To Lead Local Triumph -- Ux- bridge Shows Strong Entry Y The Lake Ontario District Sec- ondary Schools held their annual track and field meet in Oshawa Saturday afternoon and after the dust had settled up at Alexandra Park, O.C.V.I. athletes had walked away with the lion's share of the spoils. Oshawa's crack one-two punch of Wally Mozewsky and Jim Harris piled up the points and aided the local Collegiate in amassing a total of 52 points, more than double that of the second place Uxbridge squad. That Uxbridge team proved the surprise of the meet. They came in with little ballyhoo and went out with four firsts and a good 16 point lead over the usually good team from Peterboro. Colbeck and Lee were the big guns for Uxbridge and shoved her colors to the fore in the 100, 220-- yard sprints, the 880-yard relay and the Pole Vault. Wally Mozewsky was top man in the meet, grabbing off five firsts and 15 points in the final reck- oning to take the individual high mark. His school-mate, and the second bump in the Oshawa one-two punch, Jim Harris, clicked for two firsts and a second for eight points and second place in singleton honors. Thanks for the splendid method in which the meet was run off were extended to Olga Zilinsky for pre- paring the entry forms, Ted Bathe and the Parks Commission for get- ting the running track in shape, Lloyd Yelland for contributing his time in order that the athletes might dress in the Collegiate.

Pickerel Spawn Plentiful Again Toronto, May 16.--(CP)-- What may be a new record in production of spawn from pickerel in the Bay of Quinte area, is being studied by officials of the Ontario Depart- ment of Lands and Forests. With- in five days 76,000,000 eggs have been taken from female fish in that area and removed to the fish hatchery. Spawning is in full swing in the Kingsville district of Lake Erie, and already 60,000,000 eggs have been placed for hatching in the hatchery Boston's Jethroe Out To Hit .300 Brooklyn, May 16 (AP).--Bos- ton's fleet-fobted Sammy Jethroe, who once outraced Olympic sprinter Barney Ewell, is in the game to hit--and not to run. The Braves No. 1 candidate for "rookie of the year" honors is con- vinced he will hit .300 in the majors. '""ve been praying a long time for it," Jethroe said, "and too many people will be disappointed if I dont So, I'm in this thing to t. . The 28-year-old Negro speedster is off to a fast, almost sensational start. Batting in the leadoff post, Jethroe has thumped National Lea- gue pitching for a .343 mark in 24 games. In addition, he is tied with Stan Musial for. the most hits, 35, and with teammate Buddy Kerr for the most triples, three. He is second in runs, 23, and stolen bases, four, Boston purchased Jethroe, an outfielder by trade, fren Brooklyn Dodgers last Oct. 1 for $100,000 and 'three players. Jethroe had a re- markable year with Montreal in the International League last sea- son, leading in six individual of- fensive departments, including = record-breaking 89 stolen bases. Does he think he can steal that many bases in the big time? "I've got a few so far," explained Jethroe. "About this time at Mon- treal last year I-didn't have any, but by the time the season was over I.had 89. It'll be tough get- ting that many up here." That 89 figure, incidentally, is seven less than Ty Cobb's modern major league record of 96. You Are Younger Than Your Father By JOSEPH LISTER RUTLEDGE Say you had been born in ancient Rome and had reached what could be called the full span of years. You would still have died sometime between your 20th and 30th year, The aged were not a problem in ancient Rome or Athens, for what | they called age we now call youth, In all our thinking this startling fact should stand out. Today any one of us will probably live more than twice as long as the aged of Athens or Rome. In 1940--that jis not so long ago --man's life expectancy was 63 years. But today, less than ten years later, the average life expec. tancy is over 68 years, and we are | on the doorstep of vast medical dis- | coveries that may defeat the great | remaining enemies of human life and make 60 years seem only the end of youth. Shouldn't such simple facts sug- '| gest a change in some of our think- ing? Shouldn't it suggest, for ine stance, that there is a great econ- omic loss in retiring men with their capabilities undetermined and ten or more useful years ahead of them? Mightn't we pause to remember that our demands for almost universal pensions for those beyond the more active years are laying an almost impossible burden on those who must still carry on the world's work? Pensions must be provided by the workers. However you figure it, that is the fact -- the burden is on the active worker and it is a steadily increasing burden upon a group that is not increasing. There will come a point where it is be- yond the capability of the produc- tive worker to support the thus Frowing group that is not produc- ve, Mightn't it be wiser to change our way of thinking? If man's aver- age life span can increase eight years in the past eight years, isn't it reasonable to assume that with a little careful study, thinking in terms of knowledge and craft, in- stead of muscles alone, man's work- ing life might be exterided too? This would bring benefit and hap- piness to the older age groups. Willima A. (Candy) Cummings iz said to have been the first pitcher to throw a curve. Date of the occasion was 1867.
