«UESDAY, JULY 25, 1950 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE ELEVEN HIT OR MISS by Sixta CHECKING WITH BOB RIFE vw Oshawa's junior baseball club, the | Transporters besides leading their league, are at present riding the crest of a 28-inning streak in which they haven't been scored on by enemy clubs, both in league and exhibition tilts. Carl Coons started the streak in the last three frames of his win over Colborne Merchants here on July 12. He threw no-hit, no-run ball in those innings to give the run a good start. With the torch flaring high, Bunny Maeson socked Peter Pans with a 5-0 defeat, mak- ing a total of 12 scoreless frames. Bill McTavish went at Port Hope in the Radium Town on July 19 and unloaded a two-hitter, and seven more shutout innings. Then last Saturday afternoon at the Stad- jum, Carl Coons threw his first shutout for Oshawa this time against Port Hope to add nine in- nings and make the present total of 8. In that time, the locals allowed 11 hits and struckout 31 enemy bat- ters for a rather fine showing. Osh- awa's game with Bowmanville moved up from August 12th to last night was of course rained out. It will be played sometime after the GM holiday. The only other game which the Transporters are sched- uled to play in the holiday period is a tilt with Whitby on July 31st. It has already been played and the locals won the game on some fine pitching by Ab Gilbert, That move leaves the juniors free for two weeks with no games till August 16th when Lindsay Merchants visit Oshawa. (74 Tedder Morris has left the Toronto Argos to coach the Beaches entry in the O.R.F.U. What effect this will have on the Oshawa Red Raiders will likely be revealed in tonight's meeting at the Genosha Hotel, to which football players and fans are invited. Whether Morris' resignation will mean the Raiders are out as far as further help from the Double Blues is concerned, or whether they will be that much more solidly entrenched as a farm club isn't known ... yet. Tedder's idea of Canadian players for the Canadian game is all very sound as far as it goes ... but it doesn't go too far when one figures that U.S. high school coaches are, many of them, on a par with college mentors here. It doesn't give Ted's Canadian player the ad- vantage of good grounding in the bare essentials while he is still young, as is the case below the 49th parallel. Morris figures he'll find some Krols or Copelands to fill out ON SPORT his Beaches club. Maybe he will, and maybe they'll look great, in a league which is now considered a little hotter than a damp squib. As Jack Dulmage remarks in the Windsor Star after hearing Ted's idea, "You are in the right league for it, Tedder." CHECKLETS--Jim Macken, brother of Brendan who played this year for Canada in the Davis Cup Nortth American challenge round, and a former Davis Cupper himself, is now in Toronto helping the sur- prisingly good young juniors in the Queen City. ' Bob McFarlane, one of Canada's top middle distance runners, says he'll quit the track game entirely very soon to take over his dical responsibilities, However, he did have some good news for the foot- ball fans up in London's University of Western Ontario. He'll try out for Metras' Mustangs this fall ... for sure. The Hamilton Tiger - Cats' big feud with the Edmonton Eskimos over Jack Stewart and Earl Vali- quette may yet end in a court room. The Mountain City crew say they are ready to go that far before sur- rendering the two players. The New York Yankees aren't do- ing as well as their bench strength might indicate. The one bright thing in the Detroit series is the batting of Johnny Mize. The big guy, bought from the Giants to fill the Yanks' big hole at firstbase, may yet catch on as regular tenant of that position. He didn't exactly live up to expectations after the deal, and even though he is getting on in years, his current slugging streak may get the Yanks the flag. Guelph Regents won their first game in the Intercounty Junior baseball round - robin semi-final playoffs and look like one of the better bets for tte finals. They, of course, have yet to play the St. Thomas and Waterloo teams who are said to be extra tough.

MORRISON Central Press Canadian Golf Columnist Slighting the left side may not cover all of the -golfer's faults, but it will explain the origin of most of the troubles experienced on the course, This slighting ranges all the way from completely ignoring the weaker side to intending to give it proper care without actually doing anything about it. In short, you are slighting your left side each and every time you fail to go all out in doing the things which make certain its leadership during your swing. In case you miss the meaning intended by the foregoing state- ments let me present the same facts another way: if your starting posi- tion essentially is not the same as that shown in the accompanying photo, you are slighting your left side. Realizing it is most difficult for you to become reconciled to the facts about your left side, let us begin here -- your whole swing can- not be any better than the function of your left side -- the function of your left side cannot be any better than the attention you give it in the starting position. It may help you to know that there are at least three' top players, Snead, Mangrum and Alexander, painfully aware of these facts, Like the average player these pros learn the vital importance of the left side after they have put in years slighting the weaker side. You start favoring the left side by establishing the proper attitude toward it, by regarding it as the most efficient, leader for every swing and shot. Then you make sure that your whole left side is firm in the starting position while |' your right side is at ease. In detail your grip stance and head position would approximate the lineup of the model. With this lineup you'll enjoy better function- ing of the left side especially when you hold your head steady long after impact. Left side leadership in the golf swing cannot be had without favor- ing this side in the starting posi- tion. The proper "favoring" is | shown in the accompanying photo. | «Central Press Canadian. OSHAWA CITY CHALK UP WIN OVER MIMICO Oshawa City avenged themselves against Mimico, for the 3-0 reverse of a week ago, when they met back here at Alexandra Park on Saturday afternoon, with the home team tak- ing a 3-1 decision. The brand of soccer served up by the Oshawa City team was reminis- cent of the old days, when local soccer clubs carried off top honors in the Toronto and District League. The game was only a few minutes old when Terry Kelly lobbed a beautiful cross to Honeyman, who in turn passed to Harris, who was in position and goalkeeper Day didn't have a chance on the well- headed ball. Oshawa forward line took com- plete charge at this stage and held command until half-time, with ex- cellent passing attacks that kept Day, the Mimico goalie, on the jump most of the time. The Oshawa club eased up in the second half and the visitors took advantage of this and put them- selves back in the game with a picture goal, scored by Robinson. | This spurred the Oshawa City to greater effort and they ripped through the Mimico defence. Mc- Cartney and Fulton ran circles around their opposing backs and finally Fulton sent the ball over to Honeyman, who finding himself hemmed in, slipped the ball through to Terry Kelly, who smacked the ball between the uprights. This goal was ruled offside but a few minutes later, a Mimico back handed the ball in front of the goal and "Sandy" Honeyman took the penalty kick and scored from the spot. Oshawa roared right back and a spectacular passing play between Harrison and Honeyman resulted in the final goal of the game, Honeyman flicking the ball past the goalie, into the corner. MIMICO -- Day, Nicholls, Dicks, Porteneo, Gallacher, Hardy, Robin- son, Smith, Barnett, Elliott and Hancock. OSHAWA CITY -- Sutherland, Gow, Brett, McRae, J. Kelly, M. Nemis, Edy, Harrison, Honeyman, Mc! ey and Fulton. PLUS INJURIES NIP OSHAWA 3-2 Oshawa City lost a heart-breaking 3-2 decision to Silverthorn Legion, in their British Consols Cup tie|. clash, on Sunday afternoon but it wasn't defeat alone that disheart- ened the Motor City 11 but a com- bination of tough luck and bad breaks. To begin with, Gow and McCart- ney announced they would be un- able to make the trip and on arrival at FEarlscourt Park, it was dis- covered that Honeyman's knee, in- juried in Saturday's game, had swollen so badly that he couldn't play. Shuffling the line-up resulted in Johnny Cluff being used up on the front line and Tommy Green, a spectator with the club, was also pressed into service, but the team had to start play before he was ready. Even with only ten men at the start, Oshawa pressed Silverthornes and only superb display by goalie Gillan of Legion, who punched out shots from every direction, kept Oshawa from piling up a big lead. He couldn't stop 'them all and finally Johnny Cluff beat Gillan with a hot shot, to put Oshawa up 1-0. Just as Green took the field to bring Oshawa City up to full strength, Harrison collided with an opposing player and had to leave the field. When he was ready to return, he had to wait for the ball to be out of play and while he was waiting, Silverthornes forced a corner kick and Ewing scored on the move, to make it 1-1. Fulton was the next Oshawa playsr to be injured, sustaining a nasty gash in his mouth when he collided with Boyde, the Silver- thernes half-back. Fulton had to have hospital treatment and mean- while, Harrison was still on the sidelines, waiting in vain for a go sign from the referee. McRae was penalized for kneeing and Silverthorne's were awarded a penalty shot that clicked and, at halftime, the Legion Club was lead- ing Oshawa 2-1. Silverthornes made it 3-1 shortly after the second half opened but the desperate Oshawa team, despite the loss of Fulton and Harrison's in- jury, fought back grimly and Howell drilled one after getting a fine pass from Cluff, which made it 3-2. Brett, who turned in a brilliant game on defence for the Oshawa club, strained a ligament with a mighty kick and he had to leave the field, leaving Oshawa with only nine men against 11. Harrison, by this time, was limping so badly that he had to leave the game also. Most of the spectators were cheering loudly for the short-hand- ed Oshawa team and it looked as if they might tie it up, near the finish, but they just couldn't make it, although they received great applause for the fighting spirit and courage they displayed against huge odds. Oshawa City men all starred, es- pecially Cluff, who at a new posi- tion, scored one and figured in the other Oshawa tally, but the entire Oshawa team stood out. OSHAWA CITY -- Sutherland, McRae. Brett, Green, J. Kelly, M. Nemis, Howell, Cluff, Harrison, T. Kelly and Fulton. SILVERTHORNE LEGION -- Gillan, Rastig, Boyde, Woodboyne, Bates, Nebbick, Bowers, Nicholls, Ewing, Taylor, Mallon and Webb. Want to buy or sell or trade - a Classified Ad and the deal is made. The golfwise of the Canadian Amateur golf championship tournament handed out a tip that when the serious play got under way at Saskatoon, young Bill Mawhinney, 21-year-old 1949 Dominion Junior Champion, was the man to watch. Proof that they knew their golfers was given when Mawhinney went on to win the Canadian amateur golf crown, defeating Nick Weslock of Windsor, in the final match. ONSERVATION ORNER --for Ovu.door Sportsmen THE LITTLE FOXES Why is there an unsavory streak in human nature that makes some men want to chase and kill the lit- tle fox; and to shoot the sitting duck? Much less being in sym- pathy with such "sporting" de- sires, I find it difficult to under- stand except on the basis of childish thoughtlessness. ] On close acquaintance the fox 'is definitely a pretty animal in color and far more shapely and aristor cratic in form than most dogs bred by man. In this section of the country the fox years a reddish- tawny coat, with sharply alerted ears, and a shapely tail, with deli- cately fashioned legs finished off with neat feet of a blackish hue Living on field mice, groundhogs, wildfowl, and of course the odd chicken, it is nevertheless the opinion of this naturalist that in this area the fox does more good than harm. In this respect the balance of nature ought not to be disturbed. We must hand it to the little chap that despite a rising price on his head, by his agility and cunning he has survived. The other morning whiten return- ing from a futile pre-dawn attempt to photograph some fox pups as they emerged from their den, I met up with two ggoups of "gallant" sportsmen. In each instance at the mention of 'fox,' bloodlust un- kindly interest registered in their faces. Their questions on the lo- cation of the fox den I parried in a manner that I am sure Mrs. --Central Press Canadion. |Fox and her pups would highly He's Really Batting Them In With the season half over, Sid Gordon, left fielder of the Boston Braves, already has tied a mark set 39 years ago and since tied.

As for the sitting duck, what more magnificent and stirring sight is there than the take-off of a flight of these ethereal travellers who, more than likely, have haunted the same grounds for countless cen- turies despite the superficial in- roads of man's civilization! Sin- cerely, I doubt if I could pull the trigger on them even if I were starving.-- (Contributed) JACK MINER'S SONS MAKE RECORD CATCH The sons of the late Jack Miner in making out their report of their activities on the Jack Miner Sanc- tuary at Kingsville today reported making the largest catch of Canada Geese ever to be caught for band- ing purposes on The Jack Miner Sanctuary. On November 15th at 6.00 p.m. 1949, they caught 731 Canada Geese. In the catch 136 had been banded in previous years and 192 had been banded previously in 1948 leaving 403 new c>es which was the largest catch ever to be made at The Jack Miner Sanctuary. Each bird was banded with ga famous Jack Miner Band but since the death of the late Jack Miner the sons have added a serial num- ber to the band as well as S. for Spring and F. for Fall. Jack Miner's banding was and is very accurate because a serial initial was always recorded in each catch and thus he could tell when each bird was banded when it was reported shot.

Now that Jack Miner has passed on all members have rallied behind the efforts of the three sons who are still carrying on the program started by their father. Recently Manly F.

The whiz kids lost a heartbreak- ing game--and perhaps a pennant with 1l--the vicums of a one-in-a- thot episode. The box score of last night's Philadelphia - Pittsburgh game shows only that the Pirates deieat- ed the Pnils, 2-1, in a six-inning game ended by rain. What it fails to show is that the Phils were leading the Bugs, 3-2, when the rains came down. Deprived of Chance Pittsburgh, the home club, was deprived of a chance to bat in half of the seventh. Under league rules, we game reverts to the previous in- ning if the trailing home club does not get a chance to bat. The Bugs, behind Rookie Biil MacDonald, had a 2-1 lead when the Phils came up to bat' in the top of the seventh. With two out and Pitcher Bob Miller on base, Eddie Waitkus smashed a home run to put his team in front, Then came the rain. The game was call- ed, wiping out Waitkus' homer. The defeat knocked the Phils out of first place. Although they are even jn games won and lost, the Phils trail St. Louis Cardinals by two percentage points. Brooklyn, in third place, is a game and a half behind. Boston's fourth - place Braves trail by two lengths. Judging by the tight pennant races in recent years, the Phils- Pirates game could turn out to be the pivotal one in the National League. Only Championship Game It was the only championship game in the big leagues yesterday although Cleveland, Brooklyn, the Boston Red Sox and New York Giants played exhibition games. The Dodgers defeated the In- dians, 6-4, in a game at Ebbets Field marred by an injury to In- dian outfielder Larry Doby.. The crack Negro star was hit by a Joe Hatten curve ball in the eighth in- ning and taken to hospital for ob- servation. In the annual event at Coopers- town, N.Y., site of baseball's hall of fame, the Red Sox defeated the Giants, 8-5. It was the American League's fourth victory in nine mid-summer games. Horse-Breeder : William G. Helis Dies In Hospital Baltimore, July 25 (AP)--William G. Helis, oil millionaire horseman, died early today at Johns Hopkins Hospital. He was 63. The hospital said Helis was oper- ated on for a respiratory infection about six weeks ago and had re- entered the hospital July 12. Helis owned a large thoroughbred breeding farm at Jobstown, N.J. He also raced a large stable under his own colors. With Eugene Mori, he purchased the Tanforan track in San Francisco in October, 1947, and was part owner of the Fairgrounds race track in New Orleans. Helis, nicknamed the "Golden Greek," won and lost several for- tunes early in his career as a hard- hitting oilman in California and Oklahoma. He went to New Orleans in 1930 and made another fortune in the Louisiana fields. He raced a large stable under his own colors and in 1943 paid $66,000 for a yearling, the third highest price for such a sale on record. That yearling, Pericles, won only one race in three starts but is consider- ed tops in the bloodline, He entered flat racing in 1942. He bought Attention the next year for $55,000, which became his first "big name" horse, Attention had beaten Whirlaway to the wire before Helis obtained him. In 1949 his string brought him $287,747, making him the eighth leading money winner among United States owners, Classified Ads are sure to pay Phone 35 with yours today Tight League and Phil's, Wings Widen League Lead; Toronto Wins By The Canadian Press Rochester's Red Wings are rolling along with ths smoothness of a well-oiled machine. Manager Johnny Keane brought his league-leaders into Baltimore last night for the first two games of an important five-game set with second-place Orioles. Four victories would have catapulted the Orioles into the International League lead But Rochester smashed the Ori- oles hopes, 5-4 and 9-3, in a twi- light-night doubleheader. Now Bal timore is five games behind. Mike Schultz and Tom Poholsky held Baltimore to eight hits in the opener, while George Copeland pitched a sever-hitter in the night- cap. The second game was halted after five innings because of rain. Russ Derry hit homers Nos. 2 and 22 for the winners. Rookie Paul Stuffel of Toronto hurled a strange 6-4 victory over Syracuse. He walked 14, allowed six hits and had two errors behind hin. but still staggered the route for his second victory. He left 17 men on base. Bud Heslet hit a home run fo: Toronto with Dobby Rhawn on third base--but it gidn't count. Ken Burkhart was charged with a balk and the pitch was nullified. Rhawn, however, was permitted to score on the balk. Montreal Royals, behind Tom Lasorda's eight-hit pitching, trim- med Springfield 9-5. The victory left the Royals half a game behind Baltimore, Sports Roundup By GAYLE TALBOT (For Hugh Fullerton Jr.) New York, July 25 (AP) -- The word has gone around, from sour- ces close to New York Giants, that this is Clint Hartung's last stand. The tall, earnest young "pheenom" either proves himself to be a big- league ball player before the pres- ent season ends or off to the minors he goes, probably not to return. It is sad to relate, for no player ever has tried harder to live up to an exorbitant advance ballyhoo than has Big Clint since he reported to 'the Giants in the spring of '47.
