THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE TUESDAY, 'MAY. 23, 1960 -- RT SNAPSHOT By. GEO. H. CAMPBELL SPO [oe rd Down in Mobile, Alabama, one of the top baseball teams is going to #ry "short pants" for their players, on the theory of being cooler and beter ventilated, therefore more comfortable, But that isn't the latest Mwirk fm the baseball whirl. Prank Kellar, President of the Oshawa Um- pires' Association has called a hurry-up meeting for Sunday morning. The meeting will likely be held at the site of the Oshawa Rifle and Revolver Club quarters--or perhaps out at the Skeet & Gun Club. It ms that down in South Carolina, they have instituted a new form of ern hospitality"--or entertainment, A baseball fan, by name, Jim , age 24, got mad at a base umpire's decision at Greenwood, 8.C., ran out on the field, drew a pistol, aimed at Umpire Jim McGowan, aged 58. Roundtree pulled the trigger but the pistol failed to fire. Umpire McGowan pulled his pistol, fired--and Roundtree's funeral is being held today. Yipe! It really happened, which proves thai even with Umpires-- there's no "age of discretion" and what's more--why was the Umpire carrying a gun in the first place? Wonder $2 this will start a new fad for umpire treatment--and is that why 'Prexy Kellar and a few of the other Jocal "callers" have that haggard, worried look today. : * * * Oshawa Pediars played a bang-up ball game with Woodbine Heights Legion, last night at Dentonia Park. The Woodbine team eame out on the right end of a 4-3 nip-and-tuck score, when they piled all their runs into one big rally early in the game and Cam Ecclestone held Oshawa Pedlars to three runs, one a fine homer by Wes Keeler, Normie Bagnell did the chucking for the Oshawa crew and he and Ecclestone staged a merry old mound duel. Hitting paid off in the long count but Dentonia fans saw a real ball game. On Friday night, the Pyrene Firefighters will visit Pedlars and local softball fans will see a real classic that night. * + Oshawa Baseball Club makes its debut to the local ball fans at Kins- men Civic Memorial Stadium, tomorrow afternoon at two-thirty o'clock. Pover Men's Wear team from Toronto will supply the opposition and since they lost their first two stdrts, both against Peterborough, we can look for a determined bid for victory here in Oshawa on the 24th of May opener. The locals are not too happy about their showing in New Toronto and Viaduct Park on Saturday but actually, they didn't look too badly. Outside of Gordie Hanna, the team was woefully lacking in hitting power at the plate. But that should be remedied shortly--we hope it's all fixed up by tomorrow afternoon, as a matter of fact. e opening ceremonies, with Mayor "Mike" Starr, Club'President John Harris and League Presi- dent Hughie McLean in the leading roles, will take place at 2:30 p.m. and then the game will get under way. -- +» * The draw for the new Chevrolet Coach will be made about the 5th or 6th inning--and at that time also, the 1950 Oshawa Baseball - Club will honor the 1949 C.0.B.L, Champi pr ting them with handsome gold signet rings--suitably designed to observe the cham- pionship victory of last season. Incidentally, in case anybody is still interested--the Club Membership Tickets, all 500 of them--are all ' sold! We sold the last one this morning! Don't know who Coach "Peg" Hurst will send to the mound for the home opener tomorrow afternoon ;, and perhaps he hasn't made up his own mind yet either, but the locals will be out there bidding for a victory and the opening game of the season should be a good one, > » » "Pat" Milosh isn't holding his weekly wrestling show tonight.

Those two names alone would be enough to make one think of & pitcher's battle and as the 4-3 score indicated it was just that. Strikeouts Numerous Ecky clicked for nine strikeouts while Bagnell had 11. The Toronto chucker issued not one free pass to first while Pedlars' ace hurler allowed three. This wild streak by Bagnell could also be seen in the hit totals which favored Cam Ec- clestone to the tune of 10-4. Strangely enough despite the number of hits Toronto obtained, they had but one big inning to account for all their runs and then subsided while Pedlars picked up a run here and there for their total. Pedlyrs opened the game with a wild, free-running. play that put them in front, 1-0. Bill Yourkevich doubled to right field, but seeing the fielder was a little slow in playing the ball, tried stretching the two-bagger to three. His move for third hurried the fielder's throw and with the ball | going wide and high, Yorky plung- | ed for the plate with the first tally of the game. An error later in the inning al- most got another run, but a' force play erased the runner and ended the inning. Small Uprising A single and an error gave the Oshawa bench jockeys a lot of worries in the bottom of the inn- ing, but an attempted steal caught one man and two strikeouts by Bagnell ended the inning before anything else could happen. Ron Nelson found a gopher ball in Cam Ecclestone's bag of tricks and sent it flying deep into centre field to give Pedlars a 2-0 lead. They ended off the rest of the half inning rather quietly. Quietly that is, compared to the way Toronto opened up their at- tack. Gavigan doubled, Peel walked and Stewart hit into a force play that eliminated Gavigan at third. Knox was made a swinging out, but Ecclestone came through with a single to score one run. Collings doubled to send home two more tallies and make the count read 3-2 in the Legion's fav- or, Coffey singled his home and the score was 4-2. Sutherland grounded out and the rally was over. Another Home Run Neither team did much till the top of the fifth when Wes Keeler again found one of those gopher pitches of Ecclestone's and laced it out of the park to make the score 4-3. He almost did the same thing in the top of the seventh, but some sharp fielding by Sutherland cut- off the blast and ended the only real threat before the game ended. The pitchers meanwhile were staging a great battle and ended the game in quick style.
