tHE DANLY TI MES-GAZETTE WwW THE BROAL JUMP / CHECKING WITH BOB RIFE Vv Oshawa's juniors Transporter | went into Lindsay last night with the hope they might pull out a win against the Merchants Inter- | mediate team of that community. All they got was a seven-inning 3-3 tie. Bill McTavish was. sent' to the | hill for the locals and but for one inning threw a no-hitter at the enemy. Junior West, 4 hockey player now pitching for Lindsay, turned in a similar chore ® for the home crew. Four hits for Oshawa and three | for Lindsay. It was quite a pitcher's # battle. A heavy infield slowed up the i base-runners to such a point that i beating out 'any kind of infield # roller was next to impossible un- less some error was made on the play, . Seeing this was the case, the heavy sluggers on the Transporters got together and in ttie top of the sixth tied the game with a pair of | triples, a single and an error.

CHECKLETS--The condition of the Lakeshore Intermediate Baseball League is the subject for a discussion in 'the sports 1 of the Cobourg Sen- ing in a regularly nine-inning fray. We emphasize that. nin-in- ning business because the league in which the Transport- ers are playing doesn't usually hold forth for regulation nine- inning games at night. However, since the Oshawa team put in a special request that their home games at least be nine-in- * ning affairs, the local fixtures will be of that duration. Lindsay's squad has been strengthened by the addition of players like Doug Loucks from Peterborough and Junior West from Orono, Then, of course, they have -own Johnny Burn, a fellow who made a ter- rific show in the Maple Leaf baseball school last ; The Karrys brothers and a pitcher-shortstop named Debois made up a few other deadly hitting-fielding combinations. With a tie in the books, that game this coming Wednesday tinel-Star. Seems the town is still burn- ing up at the thought of a junior club (especially one out of Oshawa) winning an Inter- mediate league in which Co- bourg had a rep. Words like "strange," "con- fusion" and such are used to describe the state of the league. Bet that if Cobourg won the title this year, everything would be dandy. The league would be the best ever and the brand of ball incomparable. The scribe there laughs sadly at the thought of "some juven- ile from Oshawa" walking around with a Lakeshore cham- pion crest on his jacket. At present the Transporter juniors have five pitchers in tow. Only three of them have seen service and these have looked okay. Sorta makes the coaches job even rougher to have so many prospects. German Heavy Gets Chance At Big Title Mannheim, Germany, May 27-- (AP)--A German boxer who couldn'e even get a fight in the United States last year will climb into the ring morrow to bid for a shot at the World heavyweight title, It's the chance of a lifetime for Hein Ten Hoff, but the betting odds say he won't cash in on it, Walcott ruled a solid favorite.

MORE BEER TAKEN HOME The home as a place of consump- tion increased in importance for t serving of beer to the American family during the past decade, it is revealed in a survey made by the American Can Com- pany. The proportion of at-home- only beer drinkers has increased from 34 per cent in 1940 to 43 per cent in 1949, the survey showed, while a decrease was noted in the proportion of those who drink beer away from home only. .313 Albert St. NOW AT SUMMER PRICES Budget Terms Available THE ROBERT DIXON COAL COMPANY LIMITED AL Telephone 262 COAL eo COKE eo OIL BURNERS WOOD e FUEL OIL ® FURNACES Dick Wakefield Makes Up Mind Leaves For PCL Ann Arbor, Mich., May 26 (AP)-- Outfielder Dick Wakefield said Fri- day night he was leaving for Oak- land, Calif. "within 48 hours" to join the Pacific Coast League club there. The Major Leagues' problem child, who has said for weeks he wouldn't step down (o the minors, changed his mind Friday after Baseball Commissioner A. B. Chandler talked to him, . After that telephone interview, Wakefield said: "Chandler has been wonderful 'o me, He has given me so vey sound advice. The chances are 1 might take his advice." A few hours later, at his Ann Ar- bor home, the former University of Michigan star anu Detroit Tiger bonus player told reporters he was packing his rags to head west. New York Yankees, who bought Wakefield from the Tigers and tried a few weeks ago to trade him to Chicago's White Sox in a deal that didn't go ~ff, sold his contract to Oakland. Wakefield appealed to Chandler, and the commissioner advised to accept the sale, It was learned the Commissioner told Wakefield that his record for temperamental outbursts and run- ins with major league management did not close the door to his return to the big top, if he proved himself worthy. Wakefield changed "iis mind af- ter saying for weeks he would quit baseball before going down to the minors. But the 29-year-old player wio received a $52,000 bonus from De- troit Tigers when he entered organ- ized baseball in 1941,. still seemed uncertain as to what turn his career might take next, 'Tll be back, bank on that," he promised. "I'll hit .400 at Oakland and show Weiss (George Weiss, New York general manager) what a poor judge of ball players he is." Just a few hours later, however, Dick was doubting his chance '> return to the majors. 3 "They've seen me play a long time," he said, now glum. "Appar- I was." Occasional Bettor Who Hits Jackpot Is Not Taxable Ottawa, May 27--(CP)--A deci- sion handed down by the Income Tax Appeal Board supports the view race track occasionally and happens to hit the jackpot--even repeatedly --should not have to account for his winnings to the income tax collector, The decision announced Friday affected one man particularly but an official said later that it also would affect the thousands. of horse-race lovers who go out to the track each year in the hope of hit- ting the jackpot and keep wonder- ing what the government will do about their winnings. In a nutshell, the board's decision implies that the government may do as it pleases, but if the case ever comes before the appeal board, then the bettor is almost certain to get favorable treatment--that is if he can prove he is an occasional bettor, The decision won't help the book- maker or the habitual bettor who does no other work but follow the tracks, living by what he wins, and starving by what he doesn't. "Each case will be treated on its merits," the official said. "There are cases where it will be difficult for the government to decide the cate- gory in which the bettor falls." Friday's decision will be particu- larly gratifying to William Scott Walker of Winterburn, Alta. He won an appeal against the government which was trying to assess him with having taxable earnings of $17,863 in 1946 and 1947. Walker, who is called "Lucky Walker" by his track friends, ap- pealed to the board and won his case when he claimed that the money was earned over a seven- year period, 1941-47, in occasional betting. Walker, whose regular business is farming, also won another point in which he asserted that the amount of cash he had in the bank 'in 1941 was $10,000--and not $5,000 as de- termined by the government. In winning that point, he cut down the department's estimate of his income in later years and therefore the amount of tax he was liable to pay.

Big Manageria: Shake-Ups Overshadow Yanks Win Skein A a Pale Hose Fire Manager Jack Onslow -- Phila- delphia Athletics Hold Big Brass Houseclean- ing--Yanks Win Ninth Straight By JACK HAND Associated Press Sports Writer Firing of Jack Onslow as manager of Chicago White Sox and the vigorous shake-up of Philadelphia Athletics' high command has the baseball world buzzing today. Even New York Yankees' nine- game victory streak and the sizzling pace of Brooklyn Dodgers are over- by the changes. Onslow's ousting came as no sur- prise. Jack's name had been on the wall since last fall because of a feud with the White Sox front office. When Onslow hear1 the news he said, "they won't second guess me any more. As far as I'm concerned Lane (general manager Frank Lane) can manage the team and Comiskey (vice-president Charles A. Comiskey) can coach at third base--or any place else he so de- sires." That tells the story. Johnny (Red) Corriden, former Brooklyn and Yankee coach and minor league pilot, was moved up from coach to'manager for the rest of the season. New Deal Competed The new deal at Philadelphia is | more complicated. Manager and club president Connie Mack, now 87, named Jimmy Dykes assistant manager and Mickey Cochrane general manager of the club. Both former Athletic 'greats' were work- ing for Connie as' coaches. While Dykes and Cochrane moved up, Connie's son, Earl, who has been running the club as assistant manager, became chief player scout. He is to leave "immediately" in search of new talent. Both the White Sox and A's have been bitters disappointments so far | The Sox are last, 14'2 games be- hind the leaders and the A's are sixth, 13 games out. Onslow's firing: wasn't announced until after the Sox' 2-1 loss to Cleveland. The Philadelphia changes were released before they were beaten 2-0 by the Yankees. Al Rosen's eight-inning double ruined Onslow's departure Friday night as Chicago manager. Rosen's hit produced both Cleveland runs to give Bobby Feller a decision over rookie Bob Cain. managerial | Brings in Page Page for the second day in a Tow | when the A's threatened in the ninth. Page replaced Eddie Lopat and threw one ball. Pete Suder lifted the pitch to centrefield to end the game, Hal Newhouser showed no traces of his shoulder trouble in his second route-going job against St. Louis B.owns. Hal gave the Browns six hits, riding home with an 11-2 vic- tory. It was the first half of a scheduled twilight doubleheader but the second gameé was rained Boston Red Sox and Washington Casey Stengel brought in. Joe out, were not scheduled. Burt Shotton tried his Brooklyn relief pitcher, Jack Banta, as a starter and came up with a com- plete game victory, 5-1, over Boston and Johnny Sain, a six-time win- ner, Despite their winning spurt, the Dodgers are unable to shake off the Phillies who remained one game back by whipping New York, 3-2. Robin Roberts struck out 11 Giants en route to his six victory. Roy Smalley was the difference between Chicago and Pittsburgh Friday night. The Cub shortstop h!' a bases-loaded home run in the fourth inning to give the Cubs a 4-0 victory. Kenny Raffensberger, always rough for St. T.ouis, let down the Cardinals with six hits while Cin- cinnati banged out a 9-4 edge.
