THURSDAY, JUNE 8, 1950 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE FIFTEE! CHECKING WITH BOB RIFE So the Ontario Athletic Com- missioner has requested a re- match between Fred Atkins and Ray Villmer. Evidently he didn't feel things looked too fair in that bout here Tuesday night. To further prove this statement, he's ordered two referees. That's probably in order that one can take over the officiating duties should the first run into an up- percut like Ernie Powers did last time, But wait! Didn't the Commissioner for- get something? What would happen if one referee were kayoed, and the other looking to his fallen comrade's care were to take his eyes off the villain from down-under. Right there Mr. Atkins would probably land a haymaker to the Human Buzz-Saw's blade that would put him out of com- mission for the night. Aha, but we forgot. The Com- missioner will likely be on hand, and should that happen, an- other re-match would be ordered . . . with three referees. 7 4 Last night we wandered up to Alexandra Park for a look at the numerous ball games and practices which take place in that large- sized place every evening. First of all we hit the south dia- mond. and the Major League game between United Taxi and Bronks. It was rather one-sided when we |6- left. for the baseball diamond to see what went on there. Oshawa Legion juveniles were working out for their game against Victor's at Lakeview Park Friday night. Victor's lost 7-2 to Union at the lake last night and so that af- fair Friday shapes as a must for Victor's. It's a must for Legion too. The latter received a little help in their outer garden when Ray George came down from the Transporters to try for a spot.. He's still juvenile age and Coach Snow- ball Wilson of the Juniors figures the seasoning will do him some good. Moving 'over to the place where the pitchers were practicing, we de- cided to try a few fast ones. A few was enough. We have all the con- trol we used to have. Still hit the corner every time . . . the corher of the screen, that is, ON SPORT With flying saucers, bananas and what not, a ski enthusiast from Quebec comes up with jet-propelled idea that had Avro-Canada, jet-engine ex- perts in this country saying, "not practical at present." This fellow came up with the air-cooled suggestion that skiers might strap a jet engine to their backs and thus move up hill at a much faster and easier rate. He has filed a patent appli- cation with the federal govern- ment and now is sitting back waiting developments. One sure development, so the experts say, would be a hot seat for the skier from the jet's blast. They recommended a pair of asbestos pants, Getting ideas off one's chest seems to be the current lesson, and that jet-propelled sugges- tion gives rise to the thought that a method of speeding up ball games might be to place a jet-engine facing backwards from the bullpen to the mound. When a relief hurler was needed the operator would gun the engine. The relief pitcher would NOT be supplied with asbestos pants, and would get to the mound in record time. (7d CHECKLETS -- Moe Galand, an ex-Oshawa General, is now throw- ing for the Peter Pan Cleaner junior baseball team in Northx To- ronto League. He handed out eight hits to New Toronto the other day when the Cleaners won 4. The win boosted the Sammy Zale coached crew's league lead to quite a sizeable six wins and one loss. Kitchener's Golf Club has a new hazard these days, a red fox that runs away with golf balls. Three boys were teeing-off the other day and hadn't noticed little Reynard sitting beside the fair- way. The ball rolled 10 or 12 feet by the fox, and he got up, walked over to it, sniffed it, and then picked it up and trotted off home. Carl Coons, the lefty from Car- dinal Ont., now trying out with the Transporter - juniors is a likely nominee for starting that Satur- day tussle in Peterboro. Seems the Petes had a lot of trouble with Whitby's southpaw piching manager Doug Sutton. A similar condition might exist for the Oshawa juniors should they start the Cardinal kid. Jock Thompson, Mayo's Homer Pace Leafs' Win By The Associated Press The relief pitching of Ronnie Lee, 21-year-old lefthander, continues to be one of the outstanding features or Montreal Royals' drive for the International League pennant. Lee received credit for his sixth rellef victory against two defe-ts ay night as the Royals thumped Baltimore Orioles' 11-5 in the first game of a doubleheader. The Royals also took the nightcap 10-4 to move to within a half game of the pace-setting Rochester I':=d Wings. The Wings blanked Spring- field Cubs 4-0. Lee relieved starter Pat McClothin Orioles scored a run to tie the game at 4-4. The youngster held the Orioles to six hits and a run the rest of the way and gained the verdict when his mates scored twice in the sixth and five times more in the seventh. Tre Royals pounded five Balti- more pitchers for 14 blows, with George Schmees and Don Thompson contributing three apiece. Clyde King scattered 14 Oriole hits in the nightcap to gain his fourth victory in five decisions. The Royals collected 12 hits but made them count off three Baltimore pitchers. Young Tom Poholsky shut out Springfield on eight hits in picking up his fifth victory for Rocnesier against one setback. The ° scored all of their runs off Bob Kelly ih the first two iunings. oul Moisan blanked the Wings on two hits from the third inning on. Toronto Maple Leafs turned back Jersey City Giants 5-3 wrapping up the game with a four-run blast in the third that was featured by home runs by Johnny Mayo nd Bud Heslet." Jocko Thompson allowed the Giants only four safeties, in- eluding Pete Pavlick"s two-run homer, The scheduled game between Euf- falo and Syracuse was postponed on account of the death of Syra- cuse president William F, Hoffman. EXPORT CANADA'S FINES CIGARETTE C.A.H.A. Grosses Gver $160,000 From Playoffs Canadian Amateur Hockey Associa- tion grossed more than $160,000 from all playoffs during the 1949-50 season, secretary-manager George Dudley of Midland told tlie open- ing session of the association's an- nual meeting Wednesday. Of this total, about $85,000 will be returned to the clubs in playoff bonuses. Figures will be announced in a few weeks. The financial statement also dis- closed that the association .spent 518,000 for operating its various branches last season. Another $5,000 was «donated to the British Empire Games Association while $6,000 was awarded in scholarships to various Tersons: A lengthy discussion was held on a proposed "Master card" for sign- ing hockey players. The new card, if adopted, will detail each player's r 'ord from the time he starts in midget hockey. The card will prevent any player from performing in junior ranks when over-age and will ensure that professional teams reimburse the right clubs if a certain player signs a pry contract. The general meeting today is ex- "ected to consider the rule govern- 'ng the icing of the puck and whether players in junior and se- .njor ranks will be signed to con- tracts, The Alberta Amateur Hockey As- sociation plans to suggest that all senior and junior players be signed to contracts. If the move goes through it is expected to give teams and the association a better hold on players and put a partial curb on bidding for amateur players. B. F.

Now it's Siz- zling Detroit that New York has dunked in chill water, Red Rolfe's Tigers strode into Yankee Stadium with seven straight victories and an .002 edge on first place in the American League. Un- beaten since they left home, the spirited Detroit club boasted a daz- zling road record of 20-3 or .870. Wednesday the Yankees put the freeze on Detroit 5-4 in the open- er of an important three-game se- ries. Home-run power from the bats of Joe DiMaggio, Phil Rizzuto and Billy Johnson swung the balance of power in a tight battle between lefty Hal Newhouser and Vic Ras- chi.

Smelt, he said, had been bought frozen in stores and "came to life" when put into water, He thought minnows were just as hardy, if not more so. If they are shipped to Ontario in a frozen state or suspended ani- mation, they will go either to the Peterborough Industrial = Fair or to Cy Hopkins, Kawartha District Baitman.
