MONDAY, AUGUST 28, 1950 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE ELEVEN OSHAWA JUVENILE SQUAD OPENS O.A.S.A. PLAYOFFS WITH VICTORY CHECKING WITH BOS RIFE yw proposed meeting between the Oshawa Transporters junior baseball team and the New To- ronto Silverts at Civic Memorial Stadium Saturday was strictly a one-sided handshake. The teams didn't meet . . . much less see each other. New Toronto didn't show and thereby committed a 'large breach of sportsmanlike conduct. The Transporters and quite a few of their fans waited for some two hours before giving up their vigil. Having the London game between the Merchants and the Majors relayed to them helped dis- pel the gloom; in fact, when it was announced that Silverts wouldn't arrive, some of the fans were so engrossed in the Merchants battle, that they stuck it out till that game was pulled out of the fire. In a telephone conversation with Yoronto Minor Baseball president Garrett Frankland, Ab Walker, business manager of the Trans- porters found that the Silverts were unable to get transportation and according to the story phoned Walker's place three times, but got no answer. Mr. Walker says that at least three adults were at his place all Saturday morning, and raises the further query of why they phoned only three times, and only in the morning. Why not at noon or in the afternoon? Well, as George H. C. on the other page said, not four hours before the game was supposed to start, "Exhibition games with teams that have finished out of the run- ning, are either very one-sided, or aren't played due to player short- ages." How true that one turned out to be can easily be seen now. * + % What's happened to the Big Four may well be a question that is asked come Grey Cup time if the Montreal Alouettes trip out west has any bearing on the case. The Larks were stripped of their Dominion champion but- tons in each exhibition game played in the western confines of the Dominion this past week or so, and yet they were able to take the Ottawa Rough Rid- ers, a supposedly strengthened outfit over last year's power- house, by a 12-7 score yester- day. Can it be true that the Amer- icanized Argos and the amalga- mated Tiger-Cats will be the ON SPORT new powers in the Big Four league? That the Calgary Stamps and a few other West- ern Conference clubs will battle it out for a winner and come east to trample all over the eastern champs? Exhibition games don't pro- vide the whole story as the man once said. The teams don't go all out, or at least the real money players on the club don't, and they are the boys who'll do the producing come trophy time. : The games of major import- ance for comparison in the coming weeks, will be the league tilts between Hamilton and Ot- tawa and between Toronto and Montreal on September 2nd. These tilts should be well-worth seeing. The two re-juvenated clubs, Toronto and Hamilton meet in the Mountain City on Monday, September the 4th in what should be a real game. LA AE CHECKLETS--The Transporters batting, fielding and pitching aver- ages contained just one mistake in their reprinted version, and that came under the fielding record of Johnny Lawrence. He being an outfielder most of the time he's been with the club would certainly not have had 51 putouts and 56 assists. Nossir, he had the putouts from Ted O'Connor's listing under his name and should have had 11 putouts, 2 assists, 3 errors, 0 double plays and a percentage .812. Oshawa's Midget and Bantam baseball representatives travel to Peterborough September 2nd in the first games of their O.B,A. play-offs. The teams are Victors and Starks. While they are playing-off up there, the Pete juveniles will be here meet- ing the Union team. September 9th, the situation will reverse it- self for the second games of the set. Victors whipped Legion by a 12-1 score yesterday and so advance into the City finals against Union. The first game will be played at the Civic Memorial Stadium Tuesday evening, Junior Milne, utility infielder with the Transporters is in the Oshawa General Hospital suffering from blood poisoning obtained when he slid into thirdbase during the locals recent game with Lindsay Mer-" chants. John "Crabby" Joskoski missed that game through a sore thumb. It healed effectively before Saturday's proposed exhibition game and he was to have started at the hot corner for that tilt. Aussies Take Davis Cup Back Home By ED CIRROGAN Forest Hills, N.Y. Aug. 28 (AP) --The United States had held the Davis Cup since 1939, but the Aus- tralians, unimpressed with power as is the c>= =f most youth, won it back during the week-end. And today the Aussies begin their quest for a double--the American national championship, which has been in the United States since 1936, when Fred Perry of England beat Don Budge in the final for his third title in four years, The Australians could do it, too. They have a better chance of win- ning the singles than they had of taking the cup which they grabbed in three straight matches. Yester- day's final two singles were anti- climactic, Frank Sedgman won from Ted Schroeder, 6-2, 6-2, 6-2 and Tom Brown salvaged something for the American cause by licking Ken McGregor, 9-11, 8-10, 11-9, 6-1, 6-4. Schroeder, making his farewell in cup competition, was far below his best, but Brown played as though the entire outcome of the cup hinged on the match. As someone remarked, if Brown had played McGregor first instead of Sedgman, the result might have been different. There was no doubt but that Brown was im- pressed by Sedgman's reputation. Had he whipped McGregor first, he might have had more confi- dence going in to face Sedgman. The 21-year-old McGregor, of course, was completely unimpress- ed by Schroeder's big name. Sir Norman Brookes, president of the Ausia== 1 Lawn Tennis As- sociation, observed that his team had the breaks and that he is not at all sure the Aussies will hold the cup long. His lasck of confidence is not shared by the American delegation who think it will be a good many years before the cup comes back to the United States. With Budge Patty, Wimbledon winner, having defaulted because of an injured ankle, McGregor or Sedgman loom as the likely favor- ites to take the American national singles title. However, on the basis of his performance against Mc- Gregor, Brown stands the best chance of getting over the hurdles thrown up by the foreign players. In 1949 the Royal Australian Air Force had a total of 20 squadrons and detached flights. "HOLD THAT POSE!" By ALEX J. MORRISON Central Press Canadian Golf Columnist "Swing easy, keep your head steady and hold your position at the end of your swing." That is ad- vice I give my pupils. Comparatively few follow this instruction because the habits of doing otherwise are quite strong. i Ag players iid int in do! s0 a to do try to hold the finish position seldom hold it long enough to properly examine it. Thus one of the most valuable means of learning the real cause of swing errors is lost. If you are slicing by cutting across the ball from outside in you'll find your body off balance at the finish of your swing, your arms will be out of proper plane and there is a good chance that ~----your-ieft-hand-will-be-loose on the club. Hooking or pllling will find your body turned too far to the left with your head turned ever more. Your follow-through may have been checked by a locked right side with your weight remaining on your right leg. Sut. you will not see any of these things in their true light if you don't look in the right direction. Posing for several seconds in whatever position you reach at the end of your swing simply is facing the truth about your positions and movements. If you really want to know the truth .about your swing then hold your finishing position while you count aloud to at least three. By then the excitement or confusion of your effort to strike the ball properly should be low enough to permit you to take a good inventory. Check your body balance first, then your head position and finally your grip. Your weight should be v mainly on your left leg, your right side loose. Your head should still be steady over the ball location and your left little fingers should be firm in their original position on the grip. Then you'll be scoring better than ever before, a _1 Conlin, H. Butt, M. | BASEBALL | STANDINGS By The Canadian Press AMER'CAN LEAGUE on Lost Pct. GBL Detroit 43 .639 New York Cleveland Boston ....

C.0.F. Field Day At Highland Creek Successful Event The field day held at the Glen Eagles Hotel grounds was a most successful event, and the local fans saw three good ball games which provided plenty of excitement, "The day was officially opened when Cal Braun, District Supervi- sor for the Canadian Order of For- esters, introduced Mr. and Mrs. Fred Walker, Mr. E. Tyson and Mr. C. Baker, local committee, to the assembly. Mr. O. E. Cook, Ontario Supervisor for the Canadian Fores- ters, was also introduced, and in a brief address, Mr. Cook congratu- lated the local committee on their first initial start. in recreational work, stating that the Canadian Foresters would assist any local or- ganization in any worthwhile proj- ect. Two visiting clubs, the - Oshawa St. Marys, managed by Mike Ka- lynko, and the Toronto Davis Drug team, managed by Frank Cook, opened the day, and staged a real battle right up to the final innings, with Johnnie Greenbaum and Smy- kaluk hooking up into a pitchers' duel. Both clubs played sensational ball, Toronto winning by a 1-0 mar- gin. In the second game Bert Hardie's Oshawa Teen Town Girls played Ann Walker's Glen Eagle Bells, and in a free hitting contest the Bells came down in front by a 12-16 score. In the evening fixture Toronto Davis Drugs played the Highland Creek Hornets with Frankie Wal- ker and Johnnie Greenbaum stag- ing another pitchers' battle with the Toronto club again nosing out the Hornets by a 3-1 score. The committee would like to thank all the fans who helped make the day a success with special mention to Mr. Campbell of the West Hill Enterprise and Mr. Tyson who donated the grounds and the club.

Boston Red Sox Climb Fast, Now Close to Yankees and Near Detroit Tigers, Who Cling Grimly & A 4 Boston's Victory Over Cleveland While A's and Tigers Split Peps Up American League Race -- Phillies Boost Their Lead, Beating Cubs While Cards Pound Dodgers Giants and Reds Break Even By JOE RICHLER Associated Press Sports Writer Credit Boston's bounce back into flag contention to the re-discovery of a long- lost "secret weapon' -- coming from behind. Overcoming enemy leads--some- thing that was a lost art to the Red Sox earlier this year--plus a two-week stay at friendly Fenway Park, have combined to rekindle the team's pennant spark. Currently the hottest club in baseball, the Red Sox have been catching . up with the American League leaders at a furious pace. Twelve victories in the last 13 games have helped Boston cut an eizht- game deficit in two. They picked up half a game on the league-leading Detroit Tigers yesterday when they overcame a 7-0 Cleveland lead to defeat t.e Indians 11-9 while "Philadelphia Athletics were holding the Tigers even in two games. The A's won the opener 4-3 and Detroit won the second 8-1. Yankees In Second Boston's triumph over Cleveland helped New York Yankees gain un- disputed possession of second place. The defending champions eked out a 2-1 victory in 10 innings over Chicago White Sox, thanks to Tom- my Henrich's pinc' single to cut Detroit's first-place margin to one game, Cleveland trails by two. Washington and St. Louis Browns split a doubleheader. After Joe Haynes had pitched the Nats to an 8-0 first-game victory, the Browns won tht second game 11-10 when Ray Coleman scored Roy Sievers from first with a triple in the 10th inning. Philadelphia Phillies increased their National League lead to five games over Brooklyn, defeating Chicago Cubs 6-1 while St. Louis Cardinals were battering the Dodg- ers 13-3. The Cubs battled the Phils to an 1ll-inning 4-4 tie in the second game of their doubleheader that was halted by darkness. The two teams play two games today. Dodger Streak Halted Led by Stan Musial, who slam- med a pair of homers, the Cards pounded four Brooklyn throwers for 14 hits. Tommy Glaviano and Bill Howerton also homered for the winners to halt a 10-game Dodger winning streak. Boston's third-place Braves swept a doubleheader. from Pittsburgh, 7-3 and 4-1.

Roughies Smear Stamps 25-12 Score By The Canadian Press Saskatchewan Roughriders have found the ideal way to start a foot- ball season. They scored a touchdown BSat- urday the first time, they got the ball this season, and kept right on scoring them for a 25-12 victory over Calgary's famed Stampeders. In the other opening game of the Western Conference, the sur- prising Winnipeg Blue Bombers licked Edmonton Eskimos 18-7. In the east, Montreal Alouettes, "1949 Grey Cup champions, came from behind to set back Ottawa Rough Riders 14-7 while Toronto's rebuilt Argonauts crushed the On- tario Union's Sarnia Imperials 47-0 in an exhibition game. 65-Yard Drive - Al Bodine went crashing across Calgary's line for a major to cul- minate Roughriders' first-quarter 65-yard touchdown drive. Ken Charlton went for two more touch- downs--both of them on passes-- and Tony Hungle got another for Riders at the end of a lateral from End Johnny Bell. Jack Hartmann kicked the four converts. Royal Copeland, who moved west from Argos this year, scored the two touchdowns for Stampeders. Vern Graham and Keith Spaith converted them. Tom Casey, former Hamilton Wildcat, contributed two touch- downs to Winnipeg's victory over Edmonton, both of them in the second quarter after Edmonton had built up a first-quarter lead on a major by Morris Bailey and a con- vert by Coach Annis Stukus. Jacobs kicked a field goal, three singles and two converts for Win- nipeg. Ken Moore kicked a single in the final quarter for Edmonton's other point. Ottawa built up a 7-0 lead before falling before the Alouettes. Bruce Cummings and Buck Rogers kicked singles. Tom Clavin bucked three yards for an unconverted touch- down. Then Montreal went to work, Blocked Kick Fatal Johnny Taylor dashed 65 yards for a touchdown when the ball went wild on a blocked placement at- tempt by Eric Chipper. Rod Pan- tages converted and Nick Scollard kicked a field goal to put them ahead' by the final quarter. Pete Thodos scored on a one-yard plunge in the final quarter. In the exhibition game, the main interest after the first few plays was whether Argos would beat the 57-0 licking Hamilton Tiger-Cats gave Sarnia the week before. The Toronto club found weak spots in their pass defence. But Billy Bass went for two touchdowns while Ulysses Curtis, Gerry Tuttle, Doug Smylie and Ernie Becker each got one. Nick Volpe convert- ed six and Bob Heck one. Ferrier Cops Canadian Gpen By JACK SULLIVAN Canadian Press Staff Writer Montreal, Aug. 28 (CP).--Big Jim Ferrier, gum-chewing Austra- lian who makes golf his living on the big-time American circuit, headed for his California home today with the Canadian open title added to his profitable, business. The 35-year-old shotsmith clicked on his fifth attempt in the coun- try's blue-ribbon golf classic. Sunday with a 72-hole 271 score, 17 under par and three better than unknown Ted Kroll of New Hartford, N.Y. Jim ended in the money in previous Open tries but until this year he just couldn't take the major booty. Had Spot of Trouble . At that, Ferrier had a spot of trouble to hag the $2,000--in U.S. funds and minus Canadian income tax--as Kroll, 31, and playing in tournament golf for the first time, made him hustle. Touring the Royal Montreal course with Fer- rier, he posted a final-round-round $iX+under-par 67 against Ferrier's For a time in the four-day tour- nament it appeared that Van- couver's Stan Leonard might give Canada its first home-bred cham- pion since Royal Ottawa's Karl Keffer won the open in 1914, but the Marine Drive pro didn't have it when the chips were down. He led Ferrier by one stroke after the first 36 holes with 68-66 rounds but faded badly and salvaged a fourth- place tie--and $750--with Glenn Teal of Memphis, Tenn. The hard-hitting Leonard ap- peared to crack under the pressure and his brilliant game fell apart in the final two rounds. He posted a 71-73 on the final 36 and was fighting all the way as his usually- deadly-accurate drives went hay- wire and his putting was far off color, Snead Disappoints The disappointment of the tour- nament was Sam Snead, leading money winner of the year with $31,593, who ended in a ninth-place tie with Jerry Barber of Philadel- 1-phia, Pa_ and Tom Bolt from Dur- ham, N.C. They each gathered in $343.50 for their 282-total. Apart from Leonard, the only Canadian pro to finish in the money--the first 20--was Len Harman of Knowlton, Que. He shared 15th spot, good for $138, with four Americans. ' Leading amateur in the cham- pionship was Nick Weslock of Windsor, Ont., Essex Club whose game fell apart in the final round with a four-over-par 76. Previ- ously, he posted 68-71-72 rounds.

Wings Need Four Victories To Clinch Top By The Associated Press Rochester Red Wings are on the verge of clinching their first Inter- national League pennant in 10 years. The Wings lead the second-place Montreal Royals by 10 games and the third-place Baltimore Orioles by 11. The leaders have 14 games to play, the Royals 13 and the Orioles 14. If the Wings win four of their remaining games they are in, even if Montreal and Baltimore win all the rest. Rochester took a big step in the right direction yesterday by beat- ing Toronto Maple Leafs 7-6 in 10 innings while Baltimore dropped a doubleheader to Syracuse Chiefs and Montreal split with Buffalo Bisons. Del Wilber tripled and scored Rochester's winning run on Roy Broome's fly to give Veteran John- ny Wittig his eighth victory. The Orioles bowed 4-2 and 5-4.

Ted Jones, on the mound for the Fabr'c Town Monarchs, pitched a splendid brand of ball, striking out three batters in the first inning and going right along to claim 15 strikeout victims before the game was over. i As usual, he was inclined to be a bit wildin spotsand he .gave up a total of 9 walks. These and a few errors by the Fabric Town infield- ers was about all that permitted the visiting Brockville lads to make a showing, because they col lected only two hits in the entire game, for four runs, Hitless Until 7th Two errors and a walk in be- tween them, gave Brockville their first run in the third inning and in the fourth frame, they loaded the bases on three walks then an- other walk forced in a run, In the 6th, a walk, stolen base and two passed balls gave them their third run and they still hadn't had a safe hit. Cullison clicked for a single in the 7th and then in the 8th, Lewis got their second and la-* hit, a lusty triple to open the inning and then got picked off 3rd on a choice play, an infield error and a fielder's choice per- mitted Cullison, the second rune ner, to score his team's final run, Oshawa Opens Early Fabric Town launched their hite ting ,attack early in the game Little starting it off with a single and Thompson followed suit.

Six hits and eight runs were registered befre the Inning was of- ficially closed out, wit', Booth get ting a homer on his second trip to the plate that inning. Four more runs in the 6th which featured Piontek's homer and a couple more tallies in the 8th on an error and single by Tutak fol- lowed by a two bagger by Demerse, concluded Oshawa's scoring.
