'PAGE EICHTEEN rHE DAILY TIMES -GAZETTE THURSDAY, JULY 6, 1950 HIT OR MISS by Sixta BROOKDALES LAT E Lg " ,. Sounds kinda silly--but me manager told me to faint ..." CHECKING WITH BOB RIFE The batting average of a base- ball umpire by the name of Norm Allen has reached close to 1.000 as far as being in hot water is concerned. Last night in Bowmanville with the Oshawa Transporters as the visitors, he showed about as much control of a ball game as a landlubber would have of a rowboat, in a hurricane. Bill McTavish was the pitcher for Oshawa, and the whole affair occurred in the last of the seventh (last official frame in Bowmanville night games). His team had a lead of 9-5, having come from behind a 2-0 score in the second to sweep ahead and maintain a lead till the above count was reached ip the bottom of the seventh. There was one out and men on second and third when pinch-hitter Strike lived up to his name and struck out. The Bowmanville bench didn't like that and thought that maybe a new white ball In the game might help their batters' eye- sight. The umpire agreed with them, and with that an a long line of arguing, gesturing, booing, cheering and the most non- ballish nonsense we've seen at a ball game in some time. ¥. not say that the Oshawa team were in the right according to the best interpretation of the rules, but we'll also say that the umpire wasn't right in his application of | the rules. First off, the rules say that an umpire shall have the last say in the matter of whether a ball is to be used in a game or not. That's supposedly indisputable, The dispute began last night when the Bowmanville bench just about ordered a new ball in the game by their Indignant yelps on the condition of the one being used. When Umpire Allen halted proceedings to get a new ball, Coach Wilson of the Transporters im- mediately rushed from the dugout to find out what went on. He felt, as almost anyone at the game would have felt, that the Bowmanville club had asked for and were getting McTavish to pitch with a new ball. Hot words were exchanged, and when a new ball was tossed into the game the Transporters' third-sacker scrubbed it with dirt. It was prompt- ly thrown from the game as being | discolored. (According to the rules, | the player should have been tossed from the game for discoloring a ball.) * The next ball unwrapped and thrown inte the game was acci- dentally given the treatment by ON SPORT the cleats of one of the Trans- porter players. When the Bow- manville bench noticed this, they demanded the ball be in- spected , . . and it was . . . and more beefs immediately arose from Oshawa because only a batter on the offensive club could ask for a ball to be inspected. Again the offending player should have been tossed from the game, but evidently ignor- ance of the rules caused this to be overlooked. Finally a new white ball was handed togthe pitcher and he tossed the ball legally to the batter to get things under way again. The pitch was inside, the batter swung at it, and drilled it to the mound. Mec- Tavish caught and dropped it, finally recovering it and field- ing it ahead of the runer for the third out to end the game. Almost immediately the coach of the Transporter club and the umpire had words. The secretary of the Lakeshore League, who for some reason was sitting on the Bowmanville bench, rushed into the thick of the word bat- tle, and although he had things to say to the umpire, he favored the Oshawa coach with some fine words. There was a lot of rhubarb about not playing under that umpire again . , . not being an umpire any longer if that coach Is in the league . . . isn't the plate ump the man in charge ++. why wasn't the game called and forfeited . . , and the like, but cooler heads will settle the issue, we hope, behind closed committee-room doors when the reports of the umpires, if they send them in, are received at league headquarters. CHECKLETS center-fielder ~ George Brabin, for the Oshawa Trangporter juniors, became the first man on his team to hit a home-run this' year, He parked it | over the fence in left center-field | in Bowmanville last night at a cru- | cial point in the game. His club trailed 2-0 and his clout came with two men on base to give the Oshawans a 3-2 lead. They held that lead and went on to win by a 19-5 count, | Oshawa Transporters | the Lakeshore Intermediate League | with a 12 win, 2 loss and 1 tie | record. Port Hope are second with a 7-3-3 record and Lindsay bring {up third place with a 7-5-1 list. Bill McTavish, though having not | such a terrific day at the rubber -- he fanned but 10 and allowed eight hits in seven innings in that Bow- manville game -- had a rather nice night at the plate. Two singles in three trips, and each bingle figur- ing in the run scoring wasn't bad stickwork. Canadian Open Will Be Played At Oldest N.A. Course When top-ranking US. and Canadian professionals converge on Royal Montreal Golf Club in search of the Canadian Open champion- ship, the Seagram Gold Cup and $10,800 in prize money Aug. 24-27, they will be playing at the oldest golf club in North America -- the "Mother of Golf" on this continent. It was back in 1875 that the famous club which now has sub- urban Dixie as its locale first came into being, when seven Montreal gentlemen got together and resolved "thet those present should form themselves into a golf club to be called the Montreal Golf Club." The founders laid out an 11-hole course on Fletcher's Field '-- now in the heart of Montreal -- on the eastern slopes of Mount Royal, and there they played each Wednesday and Saturday. They enjoyed the game secure in the knowledge that it would make no severe demands on their purses; for in those days clubs cost $1.10 esch, balls were eight cents, and a member's annual dues came to $2560. The club added the prefix "Royal" to its name In 1884 on suthority from Queen Vic- toria. As the years went by, the popu- larity of the game grew steadily and the Fletcher's FPleld links bé- came more and more crowded. In 1806 the directors observed that "it requires much room to perform this game with propriety" and began to look around for suitable land on which to build a new course. They found that land at Dixie. Two Full-Size Courses Today, Royal Montreal has a yards in length and both with a par of 72. For its convenience and its variety, the South eourse has been selected for this year's Open. In the face of the history of Royal Montreal, the Canadian Open itself is a young event, dating back only to 1904; and the Seagram Gold Cup which now is the symbol of victory in Canada's most im- portant golfing event is a mere babe-in-arms which came into be- ing in 1936. But the Open has in- creased steadily in stature in its lifetime, and now has an interna- tional recognition as one of golf's big evets, with $10,800 riding on the outcome this year. Of that amount, 10,800 is "open" to dil contestants, payable in U.S, funds when a U.S. player is involved, while $800 is reserved for special awards to Canadian pros. Pourth Time at Royal This will be the fourth time that Royal Montreal has played host to the Open, the first time since the Gold Cup and the prize money put up by the House of Seagram en- tered the picture. Previous Opens at Dixie were in 1908, 1913 and 1926. The club has also been the scene of Bix Canadian Amateur champion- ships, the latest of which was won by Sandy Sommerville in 1931. While there is little doubt that the visiting stars will give par a real beating come August, there is no indication that Royal Montreal will be a push-over for anybody. As a matter of fact, the official course record is still 68 -- just four strokes under par -- set last year by Ken turned pro.

The first time these two teams met was in Oshawa when the | Transporters again came from be- hind and took a 2-1 game in nine innings. McTavish Wins This time Bill McTavish did the nitching for the locals and turned in an eight-hit win. He struckout 10 batters and walked six. Bunny | Legree, the starter for Bowmanville | Intermediates, gave up 12. safeties walked one. The Roses looked dangerous right from the start, getting two h i the first inning before being ret and then pounding out two runs on one single, a walk and an error in the second. Gilhooley"s double into right scor- ed Legree and Williams. A walk left two men on base when Yourth | grounded out to end tke rally, | George Brabin | the Trans- porters back on their feet in the top of the third when he collect- ed the third straight hit from Legree. Johnny Lawrence singl- ed to center, Bill | McTavish did | the same to set | | set up the runs for Brabin's boom- ing drive over | the fence in left-center. The blow put the Othawans into a 3-2 lead, a lead which they never | relinquished. Hooper doubled in the bottom of | the third, stole third and scored on la bad throw by the catcher in an |attempt to nip him at the hot | corner to make it a 3-3 game. | Oshawa bounced back into a 5-3 lead when center to score John Joskoski and then scored himself when the catcher overthrew to second in an attempt to catch the runner as he tried for the keystone sack on the play at the. plate. Ground-Rule Double Yourth hit a ground-rule double into the trees in left to score Gil- hooley in the last of the fourth to | make it 5-4. Transporters got that back wher Brabin singled to center and made second on that fielder's misplay of the drive. O'Connor's long fly helped him to third where he scored on MecAllister"s smashing liner into left. McArthur doubled in the first of the sixth on that ground rule, into the trees in left, and scored on McTavish's single, Bowmanville got it back with a single tally on Yourth's single to center. That made the score 7-5. Bunny Maeson then blasted out of the game, a rousing triple to left which scor- ed McAllister and Joskoski grounded to end the inning and leave the score at 9-5. Oshawa held the Roses scoreless through a hectic last of the seventh and hung onto their 9-5 lead. Mc- Tavish ended an argument about new balls by getting the last man, pitcher to first.

Brooklyn Dodgers Will Hold School At Welland, July 18 The Brooklyn Dodgers, National League champions, ever on the alert for future major leaguers, will hold a tryout camp-school at Burgar Field in Welland, Ontario on July 18, 19 and 20. Dick Fischer, Dodger scout, will be in charge of the pro- gram. Scout John Carey, Max Kaminsky, well known Canadian baseball and hockey player, and Bill Harris will also assist at the amp. Workouts will start promptly at 9:30 each morning. This camp, one of several to be conducted by the Dodgers this sum- mer, will afford young hopefuls an opportunity to display their ability to scouts who constantly are seeking prospective major leaguers. Some of the boys who were first seen at Welland camps, who are now playing pro ball are: Bill Allen, Asheville pitcher; Bill Kerr, Asheville outfielder; Murray Rich- ardson, pitcher for Danville in the Three-I League; Mike Witwicki, outfielder at Ponca City; Jimmy Williams, Mobile outfielder, and many others who were first scouted by Scout Dick Fischer, who covers the Western New York and parts of the Canadian territory for the Dodgers. Murray McDermid, Hor- nell pitcher travelled over 600 miles to tryout at Welland in 1948. Players attending are asked to bring their own shoes, gloves and uniforms. Room, meal and trans- portation expenses incidental to attendance at the camp will be re- funded to those who are offered and sign contracts with Brooklyn organization clubs. Only those players will be per= mitted to register who are eligible to participate in the camp program under the high school and Ameri- can Legion junior baseball rules.
