isch Rt ec 'PAGE TEN " THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE * SATURDAY, AUGUST 19, 1950 . supplying a full-time coach all summer for their minors . . PORT SNAPSHOTS \ By. GEO, H. CAMPBELL h- well rested up for tonight's crucial game at Earlscourt-Park. On the other hand, unless the weatherman does "the right thing" this afternoon per- haps the dianfond in Toronto will not be dry enough for a game tonight. As it stands now, Oshawa Merchants tangle with Mayfairs of the West Toronto League, tonight at Earlscourt at 8:15 o'clock in a sudden-death game to see which team will represent Toronto zone in the Congress tournament playoffs, up in London this next week. Winner of tonight's game goes to London for a game on Wednesday night. Mayfairs will likely send their mound ace, Joe Spring, Jr. (son of the Joe Spring of baseball fame in the 20's) up against Oshawa Merchants this evening and Coach Sherry Rowland will have a choice between George Davidson and Tony DeLaurentis with Jerry Creasy ready for relief duty. Quite a lot of Oshawa fans are planning to ta':e in tonight's game in Toronto and everything points to the game being a real playoff classic. * + + Comes Monday night and New Toronto Simpson Fords play their postponed game with Oshawa Merchants, here at the Stadium. Whether or 0, all the postponed games that are hanging fire now" will be cleaned up before they get into the playoffs is hard to say, but our guess is "no". In the meantime, however, Merchants will also travel down to Peterboro on Tuesday night for a game under the floodlights, with Peterboro Marines. This is one game that we think should be called off--providing Merchants win tonight's Congress tilt. Not that we think the game with Peterboro shouldn't be played --but we do no think it's fair for Merchants to have to travel to Peterboro for a night game on Tuesday and then hit the highway on Wednesday again, for Congress play in London. Viaduct League playoffs will find the 1st team meeting the 3rd and 2nd playing the 4th, in the semi-final brackets, 3- -opt- -of-5 with at least one game to be played at Millen Stadium. This, we presume, would be the 3rd game of the series. It looks at present as if the Merchants will: be opposing Simpson Fords, with Peterboro Marines playing off with Ace Bowling Centre, In the 6-team Viaduct loop, the three "outside" teams have copped the 1st, 2nd and Srd playoff spots--and the Toronto teams and officials are very unhappy about the situation. +* + + The rain spoiled the Stadium diamond here, due to the fresh clay that was put on last week--but the various softball games booked for last night were played, with some interesting results. Over at Whitby, Stokers ousted Westmount from the Inter. "B" O.A.S.A. playoffs with a 16-0 win for a two-straight series. At Pickering, the homesters put Ajax Legion out of Inter. "C" playoffs too, with a 4-1 win in a game played in 55 minutes, In the other Inter. "C" series. Brougham won a thriller, 5-3, at Brooklin and also won the toss for the 3rd and deciding game, which will be played in Brougham on Monday night. Mills Motors and Ideal Dairy started their Junior "B" series at North Oshawa but only got in four innings. They play again in Westmount on Tuesday night -- with an earlier start. In the Interchurch League softball finals, St! Gregory's whipped Northminster, to tie up their championship series at one game apiece and they play again on Monday night. In the Inter. "AA" semi- finals at Alexandra Park, Duplates pulled a bit of an upset. After losing the first game 9-0 on Tuesday, they came right back last night to score two runs in the 9th inning and defeated United Taxi 5-4, thus tying up their 5-game series at one win apiece. Out at Union 6, Thornton's Corners won a 12-6 decision to capture the 1950 championship of the East Whitby Township League. LJ + + There's a big week of playoffs coming up next week. Oshawa Minor Softball Association teams start their playoffs next week. Brooklin and North Oshawa start their 0.A.S.A. 1st round playoffs on Monday night while Connaught Park and Simcoe 'Hall will get going on Wednesday night. This latter series, for the right fo repre- sent Oshawa in 0.A.S.A. Midget playdowns, will be a 3-out-of-5 series, with the 5th game on a neutral diamond. Oshawa Minor Bantam softball teams all start their playoffs on Monday night also--the top four teams in the final sianding meeting in' the semi-finals for the 0.A8.A. playoff rights and the others swinging into their own League Championship playoffs. In addition to the minor softball playoffs, there will be the 3rd game of the Inter. "AA" semi-finals at Alex- andra Park; Brooklin at Brougham in the deciding game of their series; the Interchurch League 3rd game of the finals at Alexandra Park. On top of that, there are Legion Minor Baseball playoff games also booked for Monday night. Next week is the busiest week of th season, as far as local activity is concerned. Before the week is out, local Juvenile and Inter. "A" teams are also into 0.A.S.A. action and then, of course, there's the annual GM Golf Cup tournament at the local lawn bowling club on Wednesday of this week. Whatta week! + + + BRIGHT BITS--They'll. turn on the floodlights down in Peterboro tonight. They cost a little over $30,000 and the ball club donated $15,000 (which they in turn obtained by donations) and in addition, they'll pay 25 per cent of all games and must sponsor miner ball--which includes .

Quite a few local sport fans who haven't seen a girls' softball game in years, will be at Radio Park in Westmount this afternoon to see the CKLB Wildcats play the second game of their O.W.S.U. playoff series with the Toronto Inter. champions from the Sunnyside League and should the Cunningham & Hill team from the Queen City tie up the series with a win this afternoen, then the Toronto, Aug. 19--(CP) -- A six- foot putt that missed gave Murray Tucker; a pro for only two years, the Ontario Open Golf title Friday and $1,000 prize money.~ The 26-year-old profession=l at the London, Ont., Sunningdale club "| fired two par-breaking rounds for a 54-hole total of#215 over the par- 72 St. George's Club. His opening day score was 75, six strokes off the leader's pace. But he came back yesterday with a 71 and 69 to wind up one-below par over the 54 holes. The man who taught him to play golf, Gordon Brydson of Toronto Mississauga, missed a six-foot putt on the 18th green and finished with 216. Tied with Brydson was Dick Metz of Virginia Beach, Va. He missed on the 18th with a beautiful blast from a trap that left him inches from the pin. Head for Quebec Most of thie 68 who teed off Fri- day--the qualifiers from the start- ing field of 117-head for Quebec next week for the Canadian Open and Professional championships. Last year's winner, Windsor ama- teur Nick Weslock, was third with 2117. Farley Was High Phil Farley, Toronto amateur and two-tine winner, almost blew him- self out of the race wth a 78 on openng day. But a 70 and 73 yes- terday gave him 221, second score in the amateurs. After a scorching first round of 69, Bob' Gray of Scarboro, a former winner, faded into a 75 and 74 to wind up with 218 in a three-way tie in fourth place. With him were Stan Leonard of Vancouver Marine Drive and Jules Huot 'of Montréal Laval. Leonard had two 73s and a 74; Huot shot 73-71-74. Pat Fletcher of Saskatoon start- ed the final round only two strokes behind the leaders, But he ran up with 219.

With him were Bill Ezinicki, Toronto Maple Leafs hockey star, and Bill Kozack. Gerry Magee, a 16-year-old To- ronto amateur who's been playing only three years, faded to 238 after a surprising 75 on the first round. LOCAL SEMI-FINALISTS N KEEN SERIES Duplates Nose Out United Taxi, Inter. "AR" Series Is All Even Winners Punch In Two, Runs in Last of 9th, Eke Out 5-4 Decision -- Series Now Tied at One Win Apiece -- S. Sme- gal is Hero in Duplate Victory. Duplate defeated United Taxi 5-4 last night at Alexandra Park in the second game of the City anid District Intermediate "AA" semi-final series, to make the round all even, at one win apiece. A sensational 2-run rally in the last half of the 9th inning won the game for Duplates, who took a distinct liking to Doug. Keeler's slants last night and pounded out a dozen hits to earn their win, Score First Run Duplates got the first run of the game in their half of the first inning on three hits, by J. Spencer, Price and Patterson. A line-drive smash with the bases loaded, by FP. Smegal, was snared by Mc- Inally of United Taxi and turned into a double-play by nipping Price off 3rd base -- of the Duplates might have ghad a victory rally real arly. United Taxi got one in the sec- ond when Tony Higgins doubled, advanced on a passed ball and scor- the third frame, Bob Dionne hit a Homer when Pearse singled and so did Higgins and Pearse scored on a wild pitch, to make the score 3-1. After that inning, S. Smegal, on the mound for Duplates, settled down to pitch fine ball and allowed only two more hits for the rest of the game. The "Cabbies" got their other run in the 7th inning when Kovacs was safe on an error, so was Doug. Keeler and then a walk and an infield out let Kovacs score. Duplates tied the score in ine 4th inning when Brown singled with one out and then with two made it 3-3 and United Taxi's run in the 7th put them ahead 4-3. Victory Rally In 9th Keeler was nicked for lone hits in each of the 6th, 7th and 8th frames but was never in serious trouble after Smegal's homer until the fatal Sth. A two-base error at 2nd was the break that Brown, Duplates in. the 9th inning, re- ceived. Morey, a pinch-hitter, pop- ped up to the infield but S. Smegal came through with his second hit of the night to win his own game, the blow scoring Brown with the tyipg run and Smegal moved to second on the throw-in. "Joey Spencer then singled and Smegal sprinted across the plate with the winning run. Smegal, besides pitching a bril- liant 6-hit game, three of the hits being in the one inning, also help- ed win his own game with his h in the 4th and timely hit in third and deciding game will be played tonight at Ki Civic Memorial Stadium, at 6:15 o'clock. * > * T SCISSORED SPORT-- (By The Canadian Ppess)--Canada's annual invasion of British boxing opened Friday and it looks as though it's going to be bigger than ever. Lew Alter, 26-year-old Montreal feather- weight, arrived on the Empress of Scotland ready to go into training for a shot at the British feather crown, now worn by Manchester's Ronnie Clayton. Alter is the first of a Canadian contingent expected to number about 10 when the winter boxing season gets into full swing. Other fighters expected in the United Kingdom include Stan and Frank Almond of Vesficouver; Tiger Warrington of Kentville, NS.! Roy Wouters of Montreal and Winnipeg; Earl Walls of Windsor, Ont.; Vern Escoe of . Toronto; and Manny Spivack and Maxy Spoon, both of Montreal. Cana- dian clouters made their first serious assault on British rings last winter and more than held their own. The man behind the invasion is Montreal- born Harry Sheppard, a 50-year-old former fighter who turned trainer because he didn't like having to do roadwork . . .

Nathan (Babe) Alexander, the club's public relations director, said Friday 25,000 requests have been returned with cheques and money orders, +* + * An Ontario Lacrosse Association official said Friday that Toronto's homeless Riverdales of the Senior A loop have arranged to be put up for the night for some of their unplayed home games. The Toronto club, prevented from playing at home by delays in completion of their River- dale Terrace playing surface, started their home-gway-from-home schedule 'hy meeting Hamilton Tigers at Hamilton last night. They] face Owen Sound under similar circumstances tonight before shifting to neutral ground for games against Mimico at Woodbridge Monday and against Peterborough at Oshawa Wednesday .

However, Joe Spencer, with three clean hits, was the big gun for Duplates while Price and Patterson with two safeties apiece, were also to the fore.

Montreal Final For Canadian {Macken took on a tough assign- ment today in his third bid for the Canadian men's. singles tennis championships when he faced No. 1-ranked Henri Rochon. The All-Montreal final didn't materialize in any easy fashion. | Macken had to come from behind {an opening-set loss and play at top form yesterday to beat Robert Ab- | desselam of France in the semi- finals. Rochon had a less arduous task against Bill Tully of Bronxville, N.Y, but dropped the third set against the game youngster who won the title in 1948. Scores were 6-2, 6-3, 8-6, 6-2. The house of Macken missed a chance to. aim for a sweep of the singles in the: Canadian champion- ships when Sister Pat bowed out to little Doris Popple of Spokane, Wash, in the women's .emi-finals. The diminutive western blonde came to the final today against Barbara Knapp, the tall brunette from Birmingham, England, who three weeks ago won the Ontario provincial title. Miss Khapp yester- day eliminated another aspirant for the Canadian title by defeating Gladys Heldman of Houston, Texas, in straight sets. Macken defeated Abdesselam, France's No. 2 player, in a thriller that called for dashing, spirited play and a willingness to gamble on the part of the Montrealer. After losing the first set, in which he took only two games, Macken swept the next three 6-2, 9-7, 6-4. Abdesselam, rarely moved from his cool, calculating style, played a baseline game almost all the way, relying on his accurately-placed shots. Back in 1940, Macken, now 27, reached the second round of the singles and in 1940 he got to the quarter-finals. Rochon and George Robinson of Montreal formed a partnership that put on a rousing battle in the men's doubles semi-final to win in five sets, 4-6, 3-6, 9-7, 6-4, 7-5, over Edgar Lanthier of Montreal and Morton Stern of Philadelphia. In the 'other semi-final, the and French téam of Abdesselam Jean Ducos De Lg Haille won in straight sets 6-1,'7-5, 6-3 over Mac- ken and Tully.

The Yankee Clipper's dramatic ninth inning home run in Phila- delphia last night recalls his stir- ring deeds of 1949. Now he came off the bench, plagued by injuries, to loosen a home run flurry that spurred New York to the American, League pennant. So far DiMaggio has been a bit- ter disappointment in 1950. So much of a flop that Manager Casey benched him last week for a "rest". They whispered Joe was washed up; that he never again could de- mand $100,000 a year salary. Maybe they were wrong. Restored to his old No. 4 clean- up spot in the batting order last {night DiMaggio responded with a {home run that shaded Philadelphia, |3-2. It was his first homer and first | run batted in since July 30. DiMaggio "went hitless until the | 7 [ninth of a tight battle between the | Yanks' Vic Raschi and the A's Lou 3 Brissie. With one out and nobody on base, he hit Brissie's first pitch some 400 feet into the upper left field stands at Shibe Park. Important For Yankees It was an important win for the Yankees because both Detroit and Cleveland were rained out. As a result New York gained a half game on each and now trails the league- leading Tigers by four games. Detroit was to have played St. Louis. Cleveland was scheduled to play Chicago. Boston reeled off its sixth straight at Fenway Park 7-6, after a 10-in- ning struggle with Washington. Bobby Doerr's 21st homer off Elmer Singleton, leading off the 10th, broke up the ball game. The Red Sox also gained on the Tigers and Indians. They aré six games out of | first place. Brooklyn Moves Up Brooklyn cut a game off the Phil- lies' lead in the National League as that race also tightened. By whipping Boston, 8-3, while New York dumped the Phils, 7-4, the Dodgers moved to within 5% games of first place. Big Jim Hearn, the $10,000 bonus bargain, beat the Phils for the sec- ond time within a week. The ex- St. Louis Cardinals righthander, al- lowed only five hits including hom- ers by Andy Seminick and Willie Jones. Hank Thompson's three-run hom- er and Whitey lockman's long drive into the stands with nobody. on both came off starter Russ | Meyer, the Phils' loser. Carl Erskine -almost lasted the route last night for the Dodgers. The rookie had a no-hitter until Sam Jethroe beat out an infield hit with two out in the sixth, After the Braves got to him for three in the ! eighth, Ralph Branca came in to relieve him in a ninth-inning jam. Red Schoendiesnt's 11th inning single shoved St. Louis home in front of Cincinnati, 2-1. A throw- ing error by Grady Hatton set the | stage for the winning single. Pitsburgh staged a four-run first inning to flatten Chicago's Walt Dubiel, 9-3. Cliff Chambers allowed nine hits in winning his 10th game. Roy Smalley hit his 17th homer in the ninth inning. Phillies Won"t Sell World Series Ducats Till Given Word Philadelphia, Aug. 19 (AP)--The Philadelphia Phillies may be leading the National League by 5% gaces but you still can't buy a world series ticket.
