¥ "ieier, Lon weirs MONDAY, AUGUST 21, 1950 i ---- THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE ELEVEN CKLB WILDCATS ARE ELIMINATED IN SENSATIONAL P.W.S.U. SERIES} Toronto Girls Tie Round With Thrilling 2-1 Win--Cop Series Taking 4-2 Decision 3rd Game Triple In 8th Breaks 1-1 Deadlock As Toronto Girls Eke Out 2-1 Victory In After- noon Game, Tie Series --Good Crowd Wit- nesses Thilling Tussle. Toronto's representative in the P.WS.U. Inter. softball playoffs, evened up their series with the Oshawa CKLB Wildcats, at Radio Park, Westmount, on Saturday afternoon, when they eked out a 2-1 decision. The game was a nip-and-tuck struggle from start to finish, cram- med full of tense moments and wit- nessed by a large crowd of enthu- siastic fans. With Trueman for Cunningham and Hill team and Beamish for the Wildcats, both pitching fine ball, there were a lot of pop-ups to the infielders and on the hard-hit grounders, both teams fielded in fine style. Visitors Score First The visitors loaded the bases in the third but Beamish forced the next three batters to pop up to the infield. In the 4th inning, Kennedv opened with a single but was forced at 2nd by Downer. Then Wallace hit a lusty single through the in- field and Downer beat the throw to the plate, by inches. CKLB girls tied the score in their half of 'the same inning. Bourne opened the inning with a single and S. Hrycanuk also clipped a single. A single by Kutasienski loaded the bases but Bilenduke hit into a gdouble play, second-to-first, with Bourne scoring on the play, to make the score 1-1. Wildcats had threatened in the second with a couple of hits but couldn't get the one more needed for a run. The Toronto girls broke the 1-1 deadlock ip the 8th inning, after one out, when Andrews poled a triple over the left-fielder's head, when that player elected to play in fairly close to the infield. An in- field grounder, a fielders choice play, saw Andrews safe at the plate with the winning run. Exciting Finish Bourne, first batter in the 9th for Wildcats, set the stage for an exciting finish, when she bunted nicely and beat out the throw by a half-step. It looked as if Wildcats might be able to move the potential tying run around, with nobody out, but 8. Hrycanuk popped up and S. Kutasienski poled a long one to deep right, on which Travis made a brilliant catch. Then Bilenduke popped up a short foul to the Toronto third-baseman and the game was over. Bourne, with three singles, was easily the best at the plate for Wildcats with S. Kutasienski next best at the plate. For the visitors, G. Kennedy, Andrews. and Wallace sparked the attack while Travis had two hits. CUNNINGHAM & HILL -- Mec- Lonney, 1b; Andrews, ¢; G. Ken- nedy, ss; Downer, 3b; Wallace, 2b; E.

Sports Roundup By GAYLE TALBOT New York, Aug. 21--(AP) -- It is ironic and regrettable that Joe Louis, the man who revived heavyweight boxing and made it the most glamorous sport of them all for more than a decade, now should be forced to bury the re- mains. For no matter what happens on the night of Sept. 27--whether Joe whips Ezzard Charles or Ezzard whips Joe -- the game is a goner for. a long time to come. Good heavyweights appear to be a van- ishing race. . The coming fight means nothing to the 36-year-old Louis except an opportunity to raise some quick money and settle his income-tax tab. He has no desire to fight again, and the training grind will be galling him. Fading 8 If he wins, then what? He will have done nothing more than prove that the younger heavies are a sorry lot, indeed, as has been more than suspected. Had the old champion not been forced to come back, then it might have been possible in time to be- come accustomed to Charles as the titleholder and to generate some interest in a bout between him and, say, Lee Savold. But if Joe wallops the Cincinnati Negro, as the bookies now favor him to do by odds of 3 to 1, Ezzard might as well wrap it up. And be- yond him there isn't a heavyweight in the country of any stature. ' Unenviable Spot Charles is in an unenviable spot in every respect. He never wanted to fight his old idol, Louis. It was forced upon him. It offered him his first chance to make some real money, even though he had to ac- cept 20 per cent of the net while Joe was demanding the getting of +35 per. cent. 'The fight offers him little else. It is highly doubtful that a vice tory would boost his popularity or cause him to be regarded all of a sudden as a humdinger of a heavy- weight. The economy of Newfoundland rests primarily upon three industries --fishing, mining, pulp and paper and other forest products. -- Quick Canadian Facts. Inning] Cunningham and Hill Team Cops 3rd and De- ciding Game In Even- ing Clash By Virtue of Hitting Power--CKLB Girls Fail to Bunch Their Hits In Final Test. Oshawa CKLB Wildcats were eliminated from the Provincial Wo- men's Softball Union Intermediate "A" playoffs here on Saturday, when they dropped the third and deciding game of a gruelling series with the Toronto Inter. champions, Cunning- ham & Hill of the Sunnyside Stad- ium ".eague, by a 4-2 count. The Queen City girls forced the third and deciding game by win- ning the afternoon tilt 2-1 and in the deciding game, played Saturday evening at Radio Park diamond, the Cunningham & Hill girls displayed too much power at the plate for the "Wildcats", who despite their third successive game to face Jean True- man's slants, could not bunch their hits for scoring rallies. Visitors Scored First The Toronto girls scored the first run of the game, in the second stanza, when Wallace singled with one out, moved on a passed ball and scored when E. Kennedy singled. The CKLB. girls tied the count in their half of the 5th inning when 8S. Hrycanuk singled with one out, moved around on a two-base hit by 8. Kutasienski and scored when Bilenduke grounded out to the in- field. The score wasn't tied for long-- Cunningham & Hill coming right back with two runs in their half of the 5th inning. Trueman started the rally by getting on base via an error. Smith then singled and so did McLonney, to load the bases. Andrews grounded to the infield and Trueman was forced out at the plate but G. Kennedy clicked with a single to score Smith and Mec- wonney. Downer forced Andrews at 3rd and Wallace popped up to end the innings, but those two runs were enough to win the game. Wildcats Fight Back Wildcats made their bid to save the series in the 7th inning when 8S. Hrycanuk singled with one out. 8. Kutasienski fanned but Bilen- duke came through with a two- bagger to score Hrycanuk and then Stuart went out on a fly to centre, that ended the rally. The Toronto girls added another run in the 8th inning on two hits, by Wallace and Travis, the run scoring as a force-out play was made at 2nd for the' second put- out of the frame, . Peters singled in the 8th and S. Hrycanuk got one in the 9th but as a team, the homesters just couldn't click. 8. Hrycanuk, with three hits in four trips, was the big hitter for the Wildcats with Peters next in line, with two safeties. . McLonney, G. Kennedy and Wal- lace, the latter ' with three hits, were the best at the plate for the Niner, while Travis also had two Defensively, the Oshawa girls looked just as strong as the Queen City champions but it was in the hitting department that the visi- ors enjoyed a definite edge.

Old Country Soccer Teams o o Going Again London, Aug. 21 -- (Reuters) -- Soccer came back into Britain's sport spotlight Saturday as more than 1,000,000 fans crowded their way into 46 opening-day English League games, Last year's cup-winners, Arsenal, started the season by winning 1-0 at Burnley but the 1949-50 league champions, Portsmouth, could only draw 1-1 against Middlesbrough. Last year's League runners-up, Wolverhampton Wanderers, whip- ped Liverpool, cup runners-up, 2-0. Both teams which won promo- tion to the First Division last year lost on Saturday. Tottenham Hot- spur fell 4-1 before Blackpool while Chelsea humbled Sheffield Wednes- day 4-0. Manchester United, bolstered at right half by Alex McIlvenny, Scot- tish-born captain and star of the United States team which beat England 1-0 in last summer's World Cup tournament at Rio De Janeiro, beat Fulham, 1-0. In the Second Division, neither of last season's promotion-winners made impressive debuts. Doncas- ter Rovers were beaten 3-1 by Leeds United while Coventry City stopped Notts County 2-0. Nor were any of the four new- comers to the Third Division im- pressive, failing to score a goal among them. Colchester United and Gilling- ham drew 0-0 as did Scunthorpe ard Shrewsbury. Competition continued for the Scottish League Cup, regular pre- liminary to League play, north of the border. Saturday's games were highlighted by a 4-0 thumping that Glasgow Rangers, perennial fav- orites to sweep all Scottish honors, handed Clyde Athletic. There Are No CKLB Wildcats In This Picture Promoter "Pat" Milosh dreamed up the above "shot" and he termed it "A Rose Between Two Thorns," a wrestling promoter's version of "Guess Which One Is a Wrestler." Actually, all three "work" in the wrestl- ing shows at Oshawa Arena and all three will be in action at the next show, tomorrow night. However, the two gents on the outside, who in comparison to the burly "Yukon Eric" in the centre, look like a couple of World War II submarine victims--twenty days at sea without food--do not get their action' in the ring. Left to right, they are Gord Garrison, announcer; Yukon Eric, who meets The Masked Marvel in the main bout tomorrow night, and Bill Swinton, timekeeper. ~--Photo by Dean J. Kelly. Buffet Lunch For The King of Sport Horse racing is acclaimed as the "sport of kings" but at Randall Park, Cleveland, the order was reversed somewhat and the thoroughbreds were honored as "kings of sport" at a buffet luncheon which heralded the opening of a 44-day meeting. Some of the guests are shown lined up before the banquet table--two 40-foot long tables. . The unique assemblage was catered by 12 waiters and the menu included carrots, lettuce, celery, apples and sugar. --Central Press Canadian. Oshawa City Bests Stewarts By 1-0 Score (CONTRIBUTED) Oshawa City won their first away game of the season when they nosed out "Stewarts" at Earlscourt Park, Toronto, on Sunday afternoon by a score of 1-0. A crowd well over a 1,000 saw Jack Sutherland earn his first shut out in a Senior League game, The result in no way flattened the Motor City team, it was Oshawa all the way and a combination of good goalkeeping by Stanboga and poor finishing by the Oshawa for- wards kept the score down. The game had hardly got under way when Hawell broke loose and had the Stewarts goal at his mercy. His shot struck the upright and bounced back into play. - Oshawa continued to press but as has been the case so often in the past the forwards didn't make use of their chances in front of the goal, Scoreless Draw It looked as if the first half would end with the teams all tied in a goal-less draw when Hawell, Terry Kelly and Honeyman swept down on the Stewarts' goal, and this piece of good team work paid off when Terry Kelly sent over a perfectly placed ball which Honey- man had no trouble in placing out of the reach of Stanboga. After the interval Oshawa ran Sissies Scoun d Sule Toronto defense a 8! e ball past their Foul was awarded against - awa and Fallon lly the Oe deep into Oshawa territory. This was the first time the Torontonians had been anywhere near the Osh- awa citadel in the second half. It seemed to give them team inspira- tion because they hemmed the Osh- awa team in for almost ten min- utes. However, Gow ahd Brett were in the fights. Champions were de- that the ball got past them. When it did, Jock Sutherland was in full command of the situation. Oshawa weathered the storm and came back strongly again. Honeyman and Terry Kelly were continually har- rassing the Stewarts' defense and it looked as if Honeyman would put Oshawa farther ahead when he had only the goalkeeper to beat, but he stumbled in front of the goal and the chance was lost. Worthy Winners Oshawa were worthy winners and credit should be given to Suther- land, Brett and Gow for protecting their slim lead during the second half when Stewarts put on the pressure. Their perfect teamwork at a time when the chips were down was worth the journey to Toronto itself. Teams OSHAWA -- Sutherland, Gow, Brett, W. Nemis, J. Kelly, M. Nemis, T.

Cop 1st Game City Series Oshawa Legion juveniles handed out an 8-7 decision to Oshawa Vic- tor's Midgets in the first game of the local juvenile baseball city series played at Lakeview Park yesterday. The series opener was a thriller all the way with the Legion taking a big early lead only to have Victors come back with speed and punch in the final frames and almost cop the verdict. Copeland was the losing pitcher for Victors with Ron McGillis going the route for Legion and becoming the winner. Takes Early Lead In the bottom of the first frame, Legion clicked for three runs off two hits when Lyn and Jeffs bashed out doubles and with a pair of walks produced the needed three runs. No further scoring took place till the fifth inning when both clubs came through with single runs to make it a 4-1 ball game. Jeffs and Boneham were the batters for either team in this particular rally. Legion widened their lead with a pair of runs in the bottom of the sixth to make the score 6-1. Vic- tors were not to he thus put into the discard and slapped a pair of tallies over the plate in their half of the seventh for a 6-3 count. Kel- lar, Sutton and McTavish aided the play with singles. Wins Own Game Ron McGillis won his own b. 11 game when he tripled in the last of the eighth to deep right field to score Rae in front and make it 7-3. He counted himself on Starr's out- field fly and the count was upped to 8-3. Victors made their defperation rally in the top of the ninth and came so close that the air frizzled round the basepatas. Sutton Stroz and Burr got singles while McTavish and Boneham begged bases on balls to push over four runs with two out. Burr was still on base with the tying run when Mazurk became the fifth strikeout victim for McGillis to end the game.
