THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE TUE SDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 1950 PAGE TWELVE To The Victors - A Pile Of Silverware Frank Ball (left) of Oshawa's Victor Cycle Club, and Fred Henry of the Toronto Cycle Club were the big winners on Labor Day at the Ontario Dirt Track Bicycle Championships held at Alexandra Park. Fred won the All-Round title over Frank by just two points in the final standing and thus won that large trophy standing in front of the five others he picked up over the day's activities. If was a tight duel between these two all day long, with the pair finishing one-two in almost each event they entered. First one and then the other ended up on top in a real see-saw battle. . --Times-Gazette Staff Photo. Ry. lst ld ir. ASN he,-™s KL CHECKING ON SPORT WITH BOB RIFE There is still # > official word from the O.B.A. as to when the Transporters will begin their play: offs, but word has been received that Kingston and Ottawa are holding forth in a series right now and that lets out the possibility of Oshawa travelling east for some time. The Transporters have however arranged an exhibition game with Bowmanville Brookdale Roses for this coming Wednesday evening down in the eastern community and this should help break: tre monotonous waiting that will likely | continue till next weekend. i There is an O.B.A. meeting com- ing up tomorrow which Ab Walker, | business manager of the club is| likely to attend, and from this he | hopes to get some word on the] set-up. | Meanwhile, the juvenile series between Oshawa and Peterborough was postponed a$ the last minute on Saturday and the first game of that set takes place tonight in Oshawa at the Stadium. The sec- ond game will be in the Liftlock City on the following Saturday. That is the same date on which the Midgets and Bantam make their trip to Peterborough. Those two teams played Satur- day afternoon with the Pete repre- sentatives and Oshawa triumphed in both cases. Brown started for the Stark's bantams and was re- lieved by Norman in the ninth for an 8-4 win, Bill Kellar hurled for Victor's midgets and wound-up a neat ef- fort with a 6-1 victory over Peter- borough. Wodnisky's double was the big hits of that game. Vv Some time ago (about a few days or thereabouts) we men tioned the fact that Toronto Argos and Hamilton Tiger-Cats had a good chance of being the new powers in the Big Four football league. As ii to back us up, those two clubs 'marched onto the field Saturday afternoon and cleaned up on the other two teams in the loop, Montreal and Ottawa. Then our personal favorites, the Tiger-Cats, played at home to the Toronto Double Blues and handed the Argos a 13-6 defeat to gain top spot in the league . . . at least for the time being. Over 14,000 fans cheered wildly as the Cats humbled their Queen City rivals. Green Bay Packer (and ex-Texan) Stan Heath completed nine of 16 pass attempts. Besides this aerial blow, the Hamilton team showed a ground offensive and defensive strength that abso- lutely halted the Blues in that department. Out west Calgary, the very team that beat Montreal (last year's Dominion champions) in exhibition contests early this fall, are having their scalp trimmed very closely by every other team in the Western Conference, which if one looks the situation over, makes the west look like good bets in the coming east-west classic . . . course that's a long range view and one that could be wrong, but that's the way it looks right now. CHECKLETS--BIill Walter of Courtice made one of the better catches of small-mouth black bass in Rice Lake Friday using a June bug spinner. He made no length or girth measurements, but when he weighed the fish on landing it came to 4% pounds. Next morning at home he weighed it again and it had lost enough water to weigh 41, pounds. A nice fish. Guelph Regents played the second game of their O.B.A. first round series in «Guelph Sat. and played the third game of the best-of- three series in Sarnia Monday. Regents edged out the Salt City team 3-0 in a one-sided series. The team has three-G's in pitching who figure as strong bets to beat the best in the province. Gumeniak, Gibb and Garvie are the boys and they have averaged around 16 to 18 strikeouts a game. Gibb has been offered a Brooklyn contract. The Pacific Coast Hockey League will operate as a single group in the coming year with the announc- ed withdrawal of Fresno, San Diego and San Francisco. That leaves six-teams in the league, a neat figure, and President Al Leader thinks it minght help matters. The League, by the way, has eliminate. the icing the puck rule. Every iced puck, whether the team is at full strength or not, will be brought back for a face-off in the of- fending Team's zone. In the case of penalties, only one man at a time may be off the ice making the P.CH.L. sort of an experiment this year all the way around.

He pounded home the winner in two events and picked up enough other points in othef races to edge out the 1948 title-holder, Frank Ball of the O:hawa Victor Cycle Club by a 22-20 margin. This gruelling two-man duel took place at the Ontario Dirt Track Bicycle races sponsored jointly by the Victor Cycle Club and the Oshawa Labor Council at Alexandra Park on Labor Day. Lost Out In Big One The only point that the new champ would rather forget is the close finish in the 25-mile cham- pionship event, that saw Ball and him head for the tape head-to-head, sprocket-to-sprocket. In the last second "Baldy" used his well-known sprint-push to inch over the wire a half-wheel ahead of Henry and cop the day's major distance event. In so doing, Ball added the Ontario 25-mile crown to his Dominion 25- mile win at Montreal in July. Ball also bested his younger foe in the 1-mile event, but Henry's great short distance speed showed to advantage in the 1,-mile and 1,-mile events. In the latter, Ball was boxed on the last turn and could have made it much closer but for this interferenee. . One of the younger riders, who made a vivid impression on the large crowd that was on hand, was A] Essery of the Vigtor Cycle Club. Al obtained enough points during the day to end up in fourth place for the All-Round title, but it was not this that gained him recogni- tion. It was his dogged determination after a blow-out in the 25-mile race. He picked up +a second bike, got back in there and pedalled some four laps before his own machine was repaired. He switched back to it and tried to make up a lap-and- a-half advantage that the pack had gained on him by this time. Crowd Urged Him On He was cheered each time he pas- sed.the stands, but even this and his willingness failed to bring him into the placings. His third in the 1; -mile and %-mile and his fourth in the mile make him a very out- standing youngster (17-year-old) and one who should go a long way in the business. Another young rider to do well was Bob Irvine of the local club. His premium win after 5 miles of the 25 mile championship was a nice bid . . . and he took his turn in setting the pace in this event just like a veteran should, although some of the latter didn't. Young Oshawa Rider Wins Young Joe Victor with his yellow road racer flashed over the tape, the winner in both Oshawa boys races. He's likely to be in the Novice class next year after that showing. George Bronetto of Toronto was the other big winner of the day, nailing the 5-mile championship over Fred Henry in a dramatic drivingfinish that had the fans really whooping it up. This victory pushed him to third place in the final point standing. It wasn't till the officials finally got to sticking their pencils onto the paper with the final point totals that anyone could be sure of the new champion . . . it was that close. Ball and Henry were the only likely ones, everyone knew that, but their point totals could be this and they could be that, but on the final run down, it was Fred Henry a two-point winner, and the new champion. 14-MILE CHAMPIONSHIP 1st Heat Essery; 2.

Two were out when Vern Green doubled to right, moved up on a passed ball and trotted home when Munro hit clearly over second. Hooper and Hayden staged a stubborn mound duel with the visiting hurler having a slight edge in the hit column. He held Na- panee hitters for the first 4% in- nings and only three got to third through the game. Picton ... 000 100 000 00--1 9 3 Napanee .. 000 001 000 01--2 6 3 Hayden and Dean; Hooper and Hayes.

Courtney pitched the 9th inning for Ace Bowling Centre, started by walking Darrell Thompson then Barnes and P. Thompson both singled and Wood's fly to centre scored Darrell with Oshawa's last run. Ace Bowling used three pinch- hitters in the closing stages in a vain atempt to break the no-hit jinx--but Thompson fanned two of them and had the other ground out to the box. "Tommy" Thompson, with three hits and Barnes and Rowland with two apiece, were the big hitters in this Oshawa victory, with Walsh's 4-ply blow being the "killer" for the Aces. WINS TWICE Dallas--Texas won the baseball championship a year in a row. , NCAA second Merchants Win | (Continued From Page 10) ters until the Merchants came to the bottom half of the 6th inning and then with one out -- the roof fell in on Plunkett. It all started with a juggled grounder by the Liftlock City's stel- | lar shortstop, Danny Brown. With his great arm, Brown would likely have still recovered in time for the putout but "Tommy" Thompson's dazzling speed beat the throw by inches -- and the rally had started. Rog. Wood doubled to right field after Thompson had stolen 2nd safely and that meant the first run of the game. Harry Hill drew a, walk and then Sherry Rowland beat out a slow infield roller, to fill the bases. Aaron Bitman, one of the bes with men on bases, came throusr" with a sharp single to left, tl} scored both Wood and Hill, Ticcomly walked to fill the bases again and Rowland scored when McMulle forced Ticcony at 2nd. Then Creasy singled to centre, scoring Bitman. Ted Barnes, up for the second time, struck out on a wild pitch and reached first safely when Menzies couldn't recover the ball in time. Then Paul Thompson walked to fill up the bases again and Rog. Wood hit his second two-bagger of the inning, into right field. It drove in three more runs but Wood was nipped trying to stretch it into a triple. Those 9 runs turned the nip-and- tuck struggle into a comfortable victory. Wood's second double hac been off "Gunner" Whitehill, wic had relieved Plunkett after Thomp- son 'got his walk in the 6th. In the 7th, a walk to Hill, erroffl | by Whitehill, a wild pitch and the a force play on Bitman at second let Hill come home with Oshawa' 10th run. Loses His Shutout § Jerry Creasy had added to strikeout total in the meantime bu he faltred in the 8th with a coupl | of walks although he still had th Marines limited to only two singles but in the 9th he weakened and los his shutout.

Manager Eddie Murphy, who ha walked as a pinch-hitter in the gt} then came up and rapped a sing] to centre, scoring Menzies. An errc by Creasy gave Whitehill a life an a walk to Joe Lowry forced in Har rison with Peterboro's 4th run. Then, with the bases still loaded Garvey skied one high in the ir field and Bitman came in from 31 to make the catch and end *' game. : Brilliant Fielding Danny Brown was the star of ti game from a fielding standpoil with five assists and one error.
