PAGE SIXTEEN THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE - THURSDAY, JULY 6, 1950 SPO The Toronto teams in the Viaduct Major League have for their benefit a ruling that says Oshawa must pay them $25.00 every time a Toronto team visits here, for a schedule game. Oshawa also stipulated at the time the rule was p d that undue lat would result in part or all of the travelling expenses being withheld--Osh- awa doesn't get anything of course when they play in Toronto. The outside teams, Oshawa, New Toronto and Peterboro all have to pay something, $25.00 is the Oshawa fee--but the three outsiders do not pay each other anything, for expenses, each being on their own. It now shows that Peterboro Marines have been late once and New Toronto team has been late on both visits to Oshawa but the other teams, thinking of their fee, get here fairly well on time. The Mer- chants could "get even" by making sure they were a half-hour late for their next game in New Toronto (which is tomorrow night) but last night's result once more proved there is a penalty for being late anyway, RT SNAPSHOTS By. GEO. H. CAMPBELL im HI -- : + » * When Peterboro was late, Plunkett didn't have time for a warm-up and Oshawa got the runs to win the game in the first inning. Here last night, as Merchants whipped New Toronto Simpson's Fords 8-2, to take over undisputed possession of first place in the Viaduct League race, Oshawa won the game with the first six batters in the opening frame-- home run by Ted Barnes, four-straight singles by Napolitano, Harper, Ticcony and Wood and then a three-bagger by Aaron Bitman, for five runs, Russ Enright, Simpson's Fords' ace hurler, didn't have any time to warm up--and he was out of the game after facing six batters who all hit safely and Oshawa had won it right there. That's one penalty for being late! Of course Oshawa's hitting power last night and the nifty 7-hit chore by Jerry Creasy, who struck out 13 batters with his left- handed hook, were enough to win the game anyway perhaps but the late arrival hurt the New Toronto team's position more than .it hurt the Oshawa fans' feelings. Now the Merchants are in first place and rolling again. Rill Cook had a perfect night at bat last night with 3-for-3, plus a walk and a sacrifice, and Bill Harper had 3-for-5. LJ Ld LJ Merchants have a great chance to really climb high up in the Viaduct Major Baseball Beague standing this week. Counting their game last night here, they have four in succession for the week. They play Staffords again tonight, right back in Toronto under the lights at Millen Stadium and on Friday night, they invade New Toronto for a twilight tilt with the Simpson's Fords team. On Sat- urday afternoon, Dover Men's Shops visit Oshawa. Ordinarily this wouldn't be considered to be much of a game but that was before Dovers started. their up-swing. They knocked off both Ace Bowling Centre and Simpson's Fords on Dominion Day and the baseball fans around the Viaduct are proclaiming that Dovers will upset a lot more of them before the season is over. Their visit to Oshawa on Saturday afternoon could be the last time Dover Men's Shops will play at the Kinsmen Civic Memorial Stadium this season. They opened here on May 24th and played their doubleheader here last month, so this Saturday's visit will be their fourth and last of the schedule. Unless they make the playoffs, Dovers will not be seen in Oshawa again this season. Staffords have been here only once, getting rained out the first timp they were scheduled here and the other teams have all been here twice (Ace Bowling in a twin-bill), og L L Oshawa Pedlars, who face Pyrene Firefighters here on Friday night | (not Woodbine Heights as originally scneduled) are at present setting a torrid pace as affiliated members of the Dentonia Softball League's Senior "B" race. Pedlars are in front with nine wins against five de- feats and Pyrene Firefighters, who play here tomorrow night, are in second place, with seven wins but only four defeats while Legion has 8 and 6. Danforth Hotel is on the bottom with 2 and 11. N. Stewart of Legion is heading the league's batting race followed by three of the Firefighters. W. Yourkevich is Oshawa's top hitter with an average of 304 and he stands 6th in the leaguesrace. Normie Magee, Wes Keeler and Wart Barker all follow in close succession as among the top nine hitters of the league. Normie Bagnell is the League's top pitcher and has allowed only eight runs while fanning 103 batters in 64'z innings He has given up only 27 hits and has the top record with six wins and one defeat. Meanwhile, Wes Keeler, who has been performing in out- of-this-world fashion at shortstop for the Oshawa Club, has all the Dentonia Park fans raving and the league officials have him booked at present as 'the most valuable player to his team". Pedlars this year is a collection of Oshawa's best softball talent and they appear headed to bring a Senior "B" title here. * LJ + / With Pedlars playing Pyrenes here tomorrow night and Oshawa Merchants entertaining the Dover Men's Shops on Saturday after- noon at the Stadium, local sport fans have their "feechah" attractions ticketed but there's still plenty of other sport action on the front burner. Tonight at Alexandra Park, Skinners and Duplates tangle in a Major League softball tilt and on Friday evening, Orioles and Duplates will go at it again. We expect President Al. Wilson will be calling a game for Saturday night also, as there are several postponed games to be cleaned up and with only two more weeks to go after this one, before the semi-finals get under way, all the postponed games will have to be cleaned up, particularly if the result of any of them has any bearing on the final standing. The Transporters, who were in Bowmanville last night 'and have been on a winning streak for some time, will be away again on' Saturday, playing down in Cobourg. Tomorrow night finds the Oshawa U.A.W.A. Juveniles playing a Lakeshore League game down in Bowmanville. There's a softball game at Bathe Park tonight between Sever's Plumbing and the C.O.F. Rangers that will be full of action too. " LJ] + Memory League:--While the tennis tournament play is holding the spotlight these days it can be remembered that in the Wimbledon Tour- nament of 1946, U.S. net starts bagged four of the five titles, four years GALT TERRIERS By The Canadian Press For a team that's supposed to be in a slump, Galt Terriers were a bit out of form Wednesday night. Terriers trampled the fourth- place London Majors 11-3, and had a field-day at the expense of one of the league's top pitchers, veteran Tommy White. White got exactly one man out before he went to the showers, trailing 5-0 in the first. inning, Terriers scored six runs in the opening frame when 13 men parad- ed to the plate, Tom Lynett and Babe Roberts getting home runs. After that, it was easy. In the sixth, with the score 7-0, Managér Goody Rosen yanked starter Elmer Stephes and began playing around with the Terrier lineup, Protests Game London Manager Joe Rossomando protested the game, claiming Galt had one man over the regulation 17 listed on the official card presented to the umpire at the start of the game, In other Intercounty games Wed- nesday, the teams played more to form. The league-leaders, Waterloo Tigers, beat the taileend Guelph Maple Leafs 8-2, second-place Brantford Red Sox defeated Kit- chener Legionnaires 8-5; and Strat- ford Nationals downed St. Thomas Legion 7-2. The Waterloo-Guelph game start- ed as a tight mound battle between Guelph's George Patte and Al Du- mouchelle of Tigers. Guelph took a 1-0 lead in the fourth, but Tigers exploded in the fifth for three runs, added three more in the sixth, and closed with singletons in the sev- enth and eighth. Four For Five Augue Herchenratter, batting in the clean-up spot for Tigers, bang- ed out four hits in five trips to drive in three runs for the winners. Nick Ciani had two hits for Guelph. It took a three-run rally in the last of the ninth for Brantford Sox to edge out the hard-fighting Le- gionnaires from Kitchener. Hero of the day was Pedro Juarez, classy Sox' shortstop, who walloped one of Nick Martinovich's pitches over the wall with two mates on base. Bill Gibbs came in for six in the sixth with the score tied 4-4, and was the winner. Martinovich, who relieved Tom Quest in the sixth, was the loser. Stratford's Gerry Hamm threw a four-hitter at the lowly St. Thomas Legion in Nationals' 7-2 win, The HAMMER LONDON MAJOR"S VETERAN TOMMY WHITE teams fought on even terms for four innings, but Stratford plated three runs in tthe fifth and were never headed thereafter. A homer by Gord McGraw with two on base was the deciding factor. Hamm helped his own cause along with a lusty double that bat- ted in a run, He struck out seven and passed four. In a Viaduct Senior League game in Oshawa, the home-town squad toppled New Toronto Simpson Fords 8-2 on the strength of a five-run first inning. The game was held up more than half an hour by the late arrival of the New Toronto team. MERCHANTS LEADING VIADUCT LEAGUE United Taxi Blasts Orioles, First 6 Batters Hit Safely As Oshawa Grabs 5-Run Lead Then Topple New Toronto 8-2 Ted Barnes' Homer Over Fence Sparks Oshawa"s 1st-Inning Splurge -- Bill Cook and Bill Har- per Each Collect 3 Hits, Rowland Has Couple--Jerry Creasey Fans 13 Batters, Allows 7 Hits Oshawa Merchants moved into undisputed possession of first place in the Viaduct Major Basebail League race, when they whipped New Toronto Simpson's Fords 8-2 tere at the Kinsmen Civic Memorial Stadium last night. The erstwhile leaders of the Via- duct League were almost a full half-hour late in arriving, with the result that they had to start right in with the game the minute they reached the field -- the result was disastrous for Russ Enwright, their starting hurler. Six Batte Ron Hastings si in the first frame with two out and Ralph Hoskings drew a walk but Jerry Creasy threw his left - handed ook past George Valliere to end the top of the inning and then the Merchants went to work. Enwright hadn't time for a pre- game warm-up and the first six Oshawa batters proved conclusively that he needed a warm-up. Ted Barnes poled a 3-and-2 pitch over the right-field wall for his second out-of-the-park homer this season and that got the fans in the mood for the kill. Vie Napolitano then singled through the third-base area and Bill Harper promptly smacked one through the identical "hole" after which the left-fielder juggled it and that let Napolitano sprint home. George Ticcony rifled a single into centre and when that outfielder juggled the ball, which allowed Tic- cony to reach 2nd. Harper had scored on the hit. "Rog" Wood's single, an infield roller he beat out, pushed Ticcony to 3rd then Aaron Bitman poled one over the centre fielder's head for a comfortable triple but the throw-in was good to try for the home-run. Those six solid blows ended En- right's stay and Joe Brown took over the pitching for Simpsons Fords. He forced Rowland to ground out, issued a walk to Bill Cook but got out of it without let- ting anybody else score, as Creasy grounded out to 1st and Barnes flied out to right.

Luke Sewell's charges have won 10 of the last 14 games, to climb over Pittsburgh and out of the loop basement. That's playing at a .714 clip. The pitchers are beginning to pitch, and the hitters are starting to link their safeties together for runs. Sewell has started to smile acain. He believes the pitchers may finally have started. Ewell Blackwell showed his 1947 form in turning back Chicago last Saturday, when he struck out 14 batters. Herm Wehmeier and Howie Fox, big power pitchers with a lot of moxie on the ball, have shown some of the suff that wins ball games. Sewell does not hope for anything sensational, but te. is aiming at a higher position in the standing than at present and believes there is a chance the team may make it . . . . Baseball Commissioner A. B. Chandler has ordered St. Louis Browns' officials to stop laziking abou: moving their franchise to a minor league city. Frank J. (Shag) Shaughnessy, President of the International League ,said Wednesday that Chandler, acting on his complaint, told Bill Dewitt of the Browns that talk about moving his club "is hurting attendance in the minor leagues," "Sure, I protested against Dewitt's actions," stormed Shaughnessy. "Why not? Dewitt had no right to pop off the way he did. All that talk about moving the Browns to Baltimore has cut down attendance considerably in that (Continued on page 17) scoring Brown. A walk to Hastings followed by Ralph Hoskings' single past Wood, scored Spero with New Toronto's second and final run. They only got one more hit off Jerry Creasy in the last five in- nings, a two-base blow by Gord Brown, in the 8th' inning, dfter two out. Brown was the big hitter of the night for the visitors and boosted his already high batting average 10 almost the .500 mark, with a 3-for- 4 against Creasy's left-handed shots --which had the rest of the visit- ors held in check. He gave up séven hits and struck out the formidable total of 13 batters, while issuing four walks. ' Merchants didn't get any mor2 runs until the 5th when Rowland singled to left and Cook binged one into the opposite field. Rowland was able to score when Creasy grounded out. Oshawa's last two runs came in the 8th when Harper got his third hit of the night, a line-drive smash that hit the wall, Ticcony flied out in that territory, Wood drew a walk and Bitman flied out to centre then Rowland walked to fill the bases and Bill Cook came through with his third hit of the game, a scorching single to centre, to score both Harper and Wood. Bill Cook proved he is back in form again, with a walk, three singles and a sacrifice bunt for a perfect night at the plate. Bili Harper's three-for-five was next best for Oshawa and Sherry How- land had two-for-four, with a walk thrown in for good measure. Outfielders Kept Busy It was a busy night for the gar- den patrol, at least for the visitors with Gord Brown having five put- outs in right field while Ralph Hos- kings had three in left. New Toronto had 10 outfield put: outs while Oshawa had only two. For the homesters, Aaron Bitman was the busy bee of the njght, along with George Ticcony. The latter had 14 putouts, with 13 strikeouts being the big factor, while Bitman at second base had five assists, rr ----------s nt DINGHY'S DERIVATION The word dinghy is derived from the "dinge," a small rowboat used in Calcutta, Lg Box Store] THE BOX SCORE--- NEW TORONTO 3% ~commnoonoPe | oncoooHOcuw PO Hastings, ss ...

Peters and Shaker Dan in the first and second races of a harness pro- gram. The C.L.G.U. Round was won on Tuesday afternoon by Mrs. N. Irwin, and Mrs. B. White coming in with the low net scores. It was noted that only a few participated, which indicates "holiday" times are here, but hopes are still high that there will be a larger turnout for next week.

A single by Bill Jenkins and Bub Dionne's homer on the next pitch gave the United Taxi a 2-0 lead and before the inning was over, Tony Higgins smashéd a hard single into right field and galloped all the way around when George let the ball get away from him. This made it 3-0 in the first in- ning. Keeler In Good Form In the second inning, Orioles got one, McDermaid hitting a single and reaching 2nd when the ball was fumbled in centre. A sacrifice and an infield out scored McDer- maid. They didn't get anybody on base: after that until DePratto opened the 5th with a single. He moved on a wild pitch and scored after an outfield putout, for Orioles' second run. They got their third and final tally in the 9th when Sciuk doubled and advanced on an infield out, scoring when McDer» maid got his second hit of the night, with two men out. McDermaid and DePratto each had a pair of their team's total of only fivé hits allowed by Doug. Keeler, who fanned only four bat- ters but didn't issue a single walk. Disastrous 3rd Inning The 3rd inning saw the big blow fall on the Orioles. An error at 1st base by Benkowski started Dionne off to open the inning then Pearse and Higgins both singled, Elliott walked and Keeler singled. With one out, McMillan doubled, M=z- Inally singled and so did Jenkins and when it was all over, eight runs had been scored on six hits, one walk and two errors. Des Seles settled down after that and his support tightened up with the result "Cabbies" didn't score again until the 7th when Dionne's double started off a rallv that netted two runs. In the 9th the winners added two more runs on three more good hits and an outfield error. Jenkins, Dionne, Pearse, Higgins, Elliott all had two safe hits apiece for the winners and the rest of the starting line-up had one apiece.
