PAGE TEN THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE _ = PORT SNAPSHOTS By. GEO, H. CAMPBELL J 2, = JL > ------- ee l-- -- --_-- LJ Oshawa Merchants broke even with the Peterboro Marines in their two games on Saturday. Jerry Creasy, although giving up nine hits, held the Liftlock City squad to only one lone tally in the afternoon game here at the Stadium, while striking out 11 batters but issuing 6 free tickets. The Marines had 15 men left on bases here Saturday afternoon and George Ticcony had 11 putouts while Sherry Rowland at 1st base had only two--one of those a pop fly--and not a putout until the 7th inning. Harry Hill pounded a two-run triple right to the left-centre wall in one bounce, in the first inning and that proved only the first of four hits in ip for-four to also add materially to his own victory. The win three full games--but only for a few hours. game in Bowmanville 6-3 when George Da him, a bad game. He struck out 8 patters in about 8 innings--but he was lacking in control, issued 10 walks and hit two batters. Although he gave up only four hits, he yielded them when they did the most damage. * * + They had a big crowd at the game in Bowmanville, many Bow- manville fans taking in the game and most of them cheering for the Marines, of course, since Bill "Lefty" Dadson of Bowmanville was on the mound for Eddie Murphy's squad and Bill Edger was in left field. . Oshawa took a 2-0 lead and although he walked two men every inning for the first three, Davidson held this lead until the sixth--by not allowing a hit. Marines tied it up in the 6th. Oshawa got one run in their half of the 8th and it was too dark to be playing then, In the last of the Sth, Peterboro launcned a vicious attack that scored the tying run with a double, walk and single with nobody out. A deliberate walk filled the bases, then Davidson fanned "Gunner" Whitehill (who got credit for the win when he took over in the 8th) but Davidson then hit Joe Lowery with a pitched ball, with bases loaded, and that forced in the winning run. Actually, the umps should have called it right there--but for some reason, and we suspect it was that they didn't know the rules--they continued to play. Another out and two more runs was the result and they finally called it with two out, the score 6-3. Umpire Cy Whatley, who is on the O.B.A. convener list, stated after that the score was 4-3 but the baseball rules on "regula- tion game" definitely states--"If, however, the home team shall have scored more total runs than the visiting team, when the game is terminated while the home team is at bat, the score of such game shall be the total runs scored by each team." LJ * * There was quite a fuss about the time the game reached the "calling stage" on Saturday night. A lot of the fans, ignorant of the rules, were accusing the Merchants of "stalling" but actually, the game was already lost and Mgr. Sherry Rowland asked Umpire Calladine if they were going to go into the 9th inning--and if not, to call it then, Marines were full value for the win and it tickled the Bowmanville fans. No doubt they'll all be back tonight, when Oshawa Merchants and Peterboro Marines go at it again down at the Bowmanville High School diamond. They have a short left-field fence there, with big trees in left-cen¢re~and the ground rule is "two bases" for hitting into the trees or bouncing one over the fence and a "homer" if it clears the fence, whether falling out of the trees or going over. Oshawa fans were on hand at Bowmanville in large num- bers also and there'll be an even bigger crowd down there tonight, to see Merchants and Marines go at it again. As it stands now--Bill Edger (another Bowmanville hurler) will likely go to the mound for the Marines and they'll be out to win it. They are now only two games behind Oshawa and a win tonight would cut that margin in half--with Merchants still having a league game to play in Peterboro. On the other hand, Oshawa. can virtually clinch the league leadership by winning this one tonight in Bowmanville. * + * While all this is going on in Bowmanville tonight, there's a base- ball game here at the Kinsmen Civic Memorial Stadium that will be worth Osh Junior Transporters are playing their league game with the Lindsay Merchants, here this evening at six-thirty o'clock. This game was originally scheduled for Wednesday of this week but the Transporters cleared the way for Merchants to play here Wednesday fight by having Lindsay come to Oshawa tonight. The Transporters have been idle for two solid weeks, of course, and Coach "Snowball" Wilson is anxious to get them back into top form. As a matter of fact, they will likely have profitted by the layoff and we expect them to give the Lindsay team a real battle here tonight. The Scugog squad has been clicking very nicely in their recent games. They handed Whitby Merchants a sound licking not so long ago and as it stands now, Lindsay wants a win here in Oshawa tonight, very badly, in order to improve their standing in the league and get a better playoff position, ahi * * * LOCAL WEEK-END REVIEW---Lindsay Merchants, who visit the Oshawa Transporters here at the Stadium tonight at 6:30 o'clock, lost a heart-breaking 3-2 decision on their own diamond Saturday, as Port Hope Ontarios won out, to take over second place in the Lakeshore League standing , . .

R. WHEATLEY Canadian Press Staff Writer Quebec, Aug. 14 (CP)--The week- long competition leading to five Canadian tennis championships starts today with an entry list of more than 100 taking up the early skirmishing at three Quebec City clubs. The main attraction of today's 79 matches centred on the Civil Em- ployees' Club's five courts where most of the name players went.into action. : Other matches were shifted to the Victoria and Garrison 'Clubs for the opening day. After today, play will be entirely at the Civil Employees' Club. The favorites appear to have little to worry about at the start. Henri Rochon of Montreal, 1949 singles champion and seeded No. 1 among Canadian players, meets Jacques Bourgoing of Montreal. Brendan Macken of Montreal, fresh from his Quebec title vice tory over Rochon, goes against J. Albert Taylor of Toronto, Other Matches Listed Lorne Main, the 20-year-old Van- couver youngster seeded No. 3 takes on clever Jean Richer of Montreal and George Robinson of Montreal, who made his Davis Cup debut this year, is pitted against fellow-townsman Bill |Griffith., The men's single championship is the only one actually being de- fended this year. The doubles -- men's, women's and mixed -- have new combinations and lack at least one member of the doubles champ- ions of last year. The women's singles is unde- fended by Mrs. Baba Lewis of Jamaica Plains, N.Y. Walt Stohlberg of Vancouver, member of Canada's 1049 Davis Cup team, was in one of the first matches, against J. Tyrrel of To- ronto. In the men's doubles Rochon is teamed up with Robinson and Billy Tully of Bronxville, N.Y, with Brendan Macken. Two Vancouver combinations are Stohlberg and Paul Willey, making up one team, and Main and Art Jeffery the other. ; In the women's doubles, Misses Pat Macken apd Elaine Fildes of Montreal renew their" Quebec-title- winning combination, and Barbara Knapp of Birmingham, England, and Helen Stenstrom of Montreal, losers to that pair, are again part- ners. The Montreal girls are scheduled to open the women's doubles against an Edmonton combination, Carl Holmgreen and Nancy Collinge, This year's tournament is given an added international flavor with the entry of four French players, led by Robert Abdesselman, France's No. 2 player. With him are Jean Ducos de la Haille, No. 5 in France; Alain Lemyse and Robert Haijllet. Viaduct Major Baseball League WITH MARINES MERCHANTS BREAK EVE Oshawa Defeats Peterboro 8-1 In Afternoon Game At Stadium; Lose Out In 8th At Bowmanville Harry Hill's Triple Wins! Game In 1st Inning As Jerry Creasy Limits Marines to One Run-- Hill Has Perfect Day At Plate and Creasy Hits 3-for-4--Oshawa's 5-Run Splurge In 7th Breaks Up Tidy After- noon Tussle Oshawa Merchants won their first | half of their double shift in the Viaduct Major League schedule on Saturday, when they turned back Peterboro Marines 8-1 in the after- noon tilt at the Kinsmen Civic Memorial Stadium. : Mgr. Eddie Murphy sent Bill Edger of Bowmanville to the mound for his Marines here and for six frames it was a nifty senior baseball battle with the homesters holding a slight but definite edge. Then came the disastrous 7th inning when Edger folded up and his usually air- tight infield also cracked behind him and Merchants put the game on ice with a 5-run rally, built up on four solid hits, three errors and one "hit by pitcher". Hill's Triple DoeséIt Harry Hill paced the Oshawa club for the afternoon with a terrific four-for-four and in his perfect afternoon at the plate, he drove in four of Oshawa's runs, the first two, enough to win the ball game as it finally proved, came in on a rousing triple that hit the left-field wall with only one bounce, in the first inning. ' Vic Napolitano singled with one out in the first Oshawa batting. Then Edger hit Rog. Wood with a pitched ball and Hill followed this with his lusty blow to the wall Later he was picked off himself at the plate, when Rowland bunted for an intended "squeeze play" but it looked as if Hill hadn't got away soon enough with the throw -- to make it. Hill's single in the 6th, sacrifice by Rowland and timely rap by Bit- man, with two out, made the score i 3-1 in the 6th. Creasy In Effective Form Jerry Creasy had a good day on the mound, he was inclined to be quite wild but this seemed to in- crease his effectiveness. He issued six free tickets and was tagged for nine hits but he kept them fairly well scattered and in so doing, was able to limit the visiting Marines to only one run. Peterboro's lone counter came in the 5th inning when pitcher Bill Edger started off the frame with a single to centre. He advanced on a sacrifice by Joe Lowery. Fred Garvey drew a walk, to create a force-play situation but Danny Brown came through with a sharp single to left, scoring Edger. Then Al Menzies hit a high bouncer to Creasy and all hands were safe, to load the bases, when Creasy didn't have time to make a play at any base. The score was only 2-1 at the time and it looked dark for the Merchants but it was then Creasy "bore down" to strike out Pat Wil- son and Paul Estlick in i Liftlock City Seniors Click In 6th to Tie Count At 2-2 -- Merch- ants Score One In 8th But Davidson Falters Badly In 2nd Half, Al- lowing Marines 4 Runs Before Game Called -- Win Keeps Peterboro Within Reach Peterboro Marines defeated Osh- awa Merchants 6-3 in another Via- duct Major League schedule fixture, played on the Bowmanville High School diamond, Saturday evening. Ed. "Gunner" Whitehill, Peter- boro's veteran moundsman, got credit for the victory and he only pitched to three batters in the 8th inning, but the score was 2-2 when he went into the game and Oshawa had two runners on bases, one of whom scored before the three men were retired and then the Marines came on to take the verdict in their half of the 8th. Close Game Until 8th It was a nip-and-tuck battle until the 8th inning with George David- son of Oshawa opposing Bill "Lefty" Dadson, another of Peterboro's Bowmanville acquisitions. Of the two, Dadson had the best of it. He issued four walks and struck out seven Oshawa batters while yielding omly four hits for the three runs. Davidson allowed only four hits also but he was lack- ing in control and issued 10 walks, besides hitting a couple of batters. Oshawa threatened in the second with walks to Bitman and Walsh but they came after two out. Ted Barnes hit a triple in the 3rd but he failed to get home. In the 4th, Harry Hill opened with a walk and then Rowland bunted for a sacrifice but pitcher Dadson threw wildly to 1st, giving the runners two bases. Aaron Bit- man then poled one that clipped the in centre-fleld, for an auto- matic two-base hit, scoring both Oshawa runners. However, just when it looked as if the Merchants were in for a big Dedson bore down to fan out and then struck out Davidson, to leave Bitman stranded on his own base. Oshawa didn't score again until the 8th when Rog, Wood drew a walk to open the inning. Harry Hill singled into left. Whitehill Takes Over It was at this stage that Man- ager Eddie Murphy 'called Ed Whitehill to the mound. He forced Rowland to ground and. Hill was forced at 2nd. Then Bitman forced Rowland at 2nd as Wood crossed the plate when the double-play throw to 1st base was not quite in time. Walsh grounded out and that ended Oshawa's 8th inning, with the Merchants leading 3-2. George Davdson had not been in his usual form at any stage and al- He walked two men in each of the three frames. In the 6th, with one out, Bud arrison doubled to centre. Pat and end the threat. In all, Peterboro had 15 runners left on the bases while Creasy struck out 11 batters himself. Sherry Row- land had a very easy day of it at 1st base, getting only two putouts, one on a pop fly and that not until the 7th inning and the other on a throw-out by Hill, in "e 8th frame. George Ticcony with 11 putouts and the rest of the infielders with 10| had found outs among them, bore the brunt of Oshawa's defensive play. Disastrous 7th Inning It was in the last half of thc 7th that the tidy tussle blew wide open, with Oshawa scoring five runs. Jerry Creasy started it off him- self when he beat out a slow roller to Garvey, at 2nd. Barnes struck out but Napolitano was hit with a pitched ball then Wood lifted one into short right. broke up. It looked like outfielder Wilson's ball but Fred Garvey went far back to get under it--then drop- ped the ball. He recovered and threw to 2nd in time for the force- out of Napolitano, who had held 1st --but Danny Brown dropped the throw and that loaded the bases. Harry Hill then came through with his 4th solid hit. of the day, a drive inside 3rd base that scored two runners. Rowland's single was e freak bounce over Brown's head Just as he was set for the pick-up and then Brown let Ticcony's drive go right through his legs, Bitman struck out but Paul Thompson kept the rally going with a single that scored Royland. Then Thompson, for some unknown reason, ran Tic- cony off 3rd and the catcher was run down, between that base and the plate. In addition to Hill's four hits, Jerry Creasy made a big contribu- tion to his own victory, with three If" was on this play that the game g drawing a walk, a wild pitch per- mitted Edger to also romp home, with the fourth run of the inning. At this stage,. with two out, the officials called the game on account of darkness. 1 Harrison, with his two doubles and Brown with his timely single, were Peterboro's key men on the attack. Oshawa's four hits were evenly divided but Aaron Bitman's double and cholce-play latgr gave him credit for three R.B.I.'s on the Oshawa ' sheet, Paul Thompson's sensational fielding in centre, early in the game, robbed Harrison and Wilson of what looked like sure hits but Peterboro got so many men on bases that they were bound to click sooner or later and when they hits- in four trips to the plate.

TWO OTHER ALL-STAR BOUTS the Arenal Rival Toe - Ball Teams Stage Keen Battle But Both Tire In Second Half -- Content to Set- tle For 1-1 Draw -- Terry Kelly Pots Lone Tally for Oshawa City Bright sunshine, a cool breeze, two evenly matched teams, what | more could a soccer fan wish for? That was the general opinion of the good sized crowd that turned out on Saturday afternoon to watch Oshawa City and Hungarians battle to a 1-1 tie. Both teams were considerably un- derstrength chiefly through play- ers being away on vacation, but even so the boys who did take the field for their respective clubs gave a good, account 'of themselves. Oshawa started off in an aggres- sive mood and soon had the vis- itors defence in difficulties. How- ever some good goalkeeping by Whittle prevented the locals from scoring in the early stages of the game. Howell at centre forward position proved that he was always ready to make the best of any op- portunity which came his way. Kelly Boys Combine The Motor City boys eventually broke into the scoring when Johnny Kelly slipped the ball forward to Howell who in turn flicked it out to the left wing. Terry Kelly was in a perfect position to receive the ball when it was booted over from the left and gave Whittle no chance from clese range. The locals didn't hold their lead for long as the Hungarians put on | the pressure. Breza who had been | a thorn in the side of the Oshawa | defence shot the ball straight at | Jock Sutherland. Jack Lawson fumbled the ball and Breza didn't give him a second chance as he bundled the Oshawa custodian along with the ball into the net. Oshawa looked like taking the lead once more, Kuhn handled in the penalty area; however Johnny Kelly's kick from the spot went wide of the mark and a sigh of relief could be heard from the large contingent of fans who had | travelled down from Toronto with the Hungarians. No. Score In 2nd Half The second half was a see saw affair, both teams going all out in an effort to break the tie; at times play got rather rough especially in the closing stages of the game when Harrison and Yandl decided it was more fun bashing each other's head in than playing soc- cer. Their little private argument looked like turning into a "free- for-all" until referee Craig gave them both some fatherly advice. Improvement Noted Although the return of soccer to Oshawa has not brought forth any- thing spectacular to date, a defin- ite improvement in the standard of play by the "City" during the past few weeks has been apparent, and it is evident that the sport has not only come to stay but that great things can be expected from the boys in Blue and White in the future, ' Teams: OSHAWA CITY -- Sutherland, W.
