PAGE ELEVEN Russ. Learmonth and Cec. Dodwell Will Decide 1950 Tennis Grown > seeded number one. In a hotly con- tested tussle the Oshawa duo finally emerged victorious 4-6, 9-7, 9-7 al- though four times they were faced with match points on Dodwell's service. In the finals Dod . and MacArthur met the Cobourg-Peter- borough team of Adams and Magc- Pherson who had hitherto not been extended. This match was dropped by the Oshawa pair 7-5, 6-3, who showed the effects of their stren- uous semi-final victory. The other Oshawa team of Brown and Brown reached the finals of the consolation where they were beaten by Charlton and Willard of Peterborough. 0d School Ties Are Renewed In Scotland Edinburgh -- (CP) -- Youthful John Fraser of Vancouver felt right at home when he visited Edinburgh with a party of Cana- dian Air Cadets, Heading the welcoming party was Cmdr.

THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE Rest of Pack Gain On Tigers (IT OR MISS In Red Hot A.L. Flag Chase Boston Red Sox in 3rd Place Tie After Dump- ing Chicago -- Yanks Edge Cleveland To Press Detroit -- Phils and Konstanty Best Cards By JOE REICHLER Associated Press Sports Writer Are the Detroit Tigers finally cracking under, the persistent pres- sure of one of the most gruelling pennant battles ever waged? Has the terrific strain of pacing the pack for 82 consecutive days finally become unbearable? The answer may come within she | next few days. Then again, it may not' be known until the waning days of the season. Up to now the Tigers always have been able to win the "big" ones. i This is certain, however. The Detroit picture was never darker than it is today. At least, not since the Tigers took over the American League lead last June wveOWESDAY, AUGUST 30, 1950 Sight of Simcoe Hall Gymnasium ~ by Sixta was whittled to two percentage The hard-pressing New York Yankees picked up a full game on the tiring Tigers by clipping Cleve- land Indians 6-5 in 10 innings of the first game of a scheduled doubleheader. The second game was postponed after 2% innings because of rain, Detroit and New York are in a virtual tie, but the Yanks have won and lost one more than the Tigers, Boston's red-hot Red Sox roared to a third-place tie with the In- dians, overpowering Chicago White Sox 13-6. The victory moved them within two games of the top. Dreary Outlook It was a dreary-looking Detroit squad that braced itself for a doubleheader today with the Sen- ators. The team is in its worst losing slump of the campaign--six defeats in the last nine games. The once-vaunted pitching staff ap- pears riddled and the hitting has fallen off. In the National League, Jim Kon- stanty made his 58th relief appear- ance for Philadelphia to help the Phillies down St. Louis Cardinals, 5-3, The triumph kept the Phils 5'2 games ahead - of Brooklyn | Dodgers, who whipped the Cubs] |in Chicago, 8-2.

Dodwell Ousts Val Stock 'In One Semi - Final Bracket While Lear- month Beats Out Clint Hall to Reach Title Round In two thrilling five set matches played on the local courts over the week-end, Cec Dodwell and Russ Learmonth battled their way into the finals of the men's singles tournament. Veteran Cec Dodwell after a year's absence from single's play displayed a high standard of court craftsmanship in outlasting his for- midable opponent Val Stock, 6-3, 4-6, 2-6, 6-2, 6-2. In disposing of Stock who posses a powerful base- line game, Dodwell consistently drew his opponent to the net with a [ine chopping game. As the match progressed Stock's hard ground- strokes became more effective and Dodwell had increasing difficulty returning the ball. Down two sets to one after intermission, Dodwell went to the net at every oppor- tunity where his decisive play pro- vided the necessary punch to win the final two sets.

Harman's 67 stood alone until the heavy guns of the American invaders came into action and Willie Goggin of White Plains, N.Y, and Ed Furgol of Royal Oak, Mich. caught up with him. This remarkable score was the best Harman has ever tallied in major competition. ~--Central.
