PAGE TEN THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE TUESDAY, 'MAY 18, 1951 --GPORT SNAPSHOTS @) = By Geo. H. CanpBELL li D| Oshawa Pedlars opened their 1951 softball campaign last night at Dentonia Park, it was the opening game of the Dentonia Senior "B" League, and the Ontario champions came up with a 6-2 triumph. Actu- ally, Normie Bagnell's fine hurling, which embraced a total of 19 strike- out Victimis, was perhaps the big factor of the win. Certainly, Bagnell's chucking kept the Danforth Hotel team from running up any high total of runs, Featuring Oshawa's offensive play was a homer by Bill Yourke- vitch and a triple by Johnny Weatherup, with two on bases at the time. Lefty Hosmer did the hurling for the Danforths team and had only average success against the Oshawa squad. However, Bus Benson, their other hurlér, who played in the outfield last night, collected three hits off Bagnell, almost half of the total of seven he allowed. Pedlars are at home this Friday night, at the Kinsmen Civic Memorial Stadium, for their first Oshawa home game of the season, when Danforth Hotel plays back here. Several of the familiar faces were missing from the Pedlar line-up and players' bench last night and rumour has it that two or three of their performers of the past: three seasons, may elect to forsake the Senior "B" ranks and toss in their lot with one of the local Inter, "A" entries--which could very well put Oshawa back in the running for the O.A8.A. Inter. "A" title once more. * * * Sport fans and baseball enthusiasts in particular, around these parts--can take their hats off this morning to the Whitby Baseball Association, Not only have Bill Hurley, Jack McDonald, Mayor Bill Elliott, Gord. Hawse and the rest of the hard-working sport en- thusiasts over at the County Town done a fine job of baseball promo- tion and boosting since they gof. going in 1948 but last night they wrote "history." In the past three years, they've promoted Junior, Juvenile, Midget, Bantam. and. Pee . Wee. baseball teams along with their Lakeshore League Inter. entry and they're getting more young players out every year, in all age brackets. The Inter. team, known as Whitby Merchants, have carried the ball in the adult class and made a good showing but the Association deserves all the, credit. Last night the Whitby Baseball Association paid tribute to their sponsors, the merchants of Whitby who have "dug down in their dip" in recent years to help foster the game and promote sport for the young s and adult Usually, in sport, the sponsor is like "Father" in family life--he pays and pays and pays but last night the Whitby Association reversed things and they put on the banquet in honor of their sponsors. Vince Reid, Ontario's biggest baseball booster and a keen sportsman, delivered a dynamic address as the guest speaker; the entertainment like the dinner served by the ladies, was of high honor and the entire affair went off with a th lete with just the right amount of humour and serious contributions. Much of the credit for the well organized event and for the way it was run off last night goes to the Chairman of the event and evening, Harry Donald. And just so that Dunc. Mcintyre, Aime Rousseau, and the rest of our Whitby "hecklers" will not get the idea that we've gone entirely soft--we'll remind them that Harry was imported from Oshawa too! * * * Oshawa Minor Softball Association will hold a meeting this Thurs- day evening. All 1950 officers are urged to attend and every "Neighbor- hood Park Association" interested in having a Bantam or Midget boys' softball team in competition this year, is asked to have a representative on hand at this meeting. It is also stressed that some official member of the Neighborhood's own executive--rather than the person selected to be coach or manager of the team--ttend this meeting as the business to be discussed at the first meeting will be of direct interest to the Park ZXssociations, rather than to the actual teams. The meeting is Thursday night, at eight o'clock sharp. At the time of writing the locale of the meeting has not been decided but this information will be announced Somorrow. + * + Oshawa Transporters will open their North Toronto Junior Base- ball League schedule tomorrow evening at Eglinton Park when they take on the Yonge-Eglinton Motors team. The same two clubs will meet back here on Saturday in the "home opener" for the Oshawa "Transporters. Meanwhile, we are reminding local and district base- ball fang that membership tickets for the Oshawa Merchants are going very fast. We happened to sell the winning ticket last year-- so if you are of the superstitions variety--better give us a call right away. There's only a few left! +* * + BRIGHT BITS:--Mgr.
