WEDNESDAY, MAY 30, 1951 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PACE ELEVEN Home Run Blow by Vic Wertz In 8th Inning of 2-1 Victory of Perfect Game Robs Lemon Cleveland Moundsman Has No-Hit, No-Run, No-Walk, No-Error Game Almost In Grasp --Indians Nip Tigers In Only Game Of Day. A mighty home-run blast by Vic Wertz, the only hit, yesterday cost Bob Lemon an opportunity to join the six pitching immortals who have hurled perfect no-hit, no-run major-league games. gto a brilliant 2-1 victory over Detroit in the day's lone con- test preceding today's holiday dou- bleheaders, the ace Cleveland right- hander yielded a four-bagger to Wertz in the eighth inning. Big Vic was the only Tiger base- runner. Lemon did not walk or hit a batter. The Indians made no er- yors behind him. GOOD PITCH--WRONG PLACE Until Werta came to bat, Lemon mowed down 21 consecutive 'batters. He threw a strike past the Tiger slugger, first to face him in the eighth. The next pitch landed in the upper right field stands. "It was a slider," Lemon groaned after the game. "It wasn't 'high. It wasn't low. It was just right for him." Had Lemon been able to get past Wertz, he would have become the first pitcher to hurl a perfect game in 19 years. The last such spotless performance was turned in by Charley Robertson, who whipped, of all people, the Tigers 2-0 April 90, 1922, Other perfect game pitchers were John Richmond, Worcester, 1880; | John Montgomery Ward, Provi- | dence, 1880; Cy Young, Boston Red Sox, 1004; Addie Joss, Cleveland, 1007; and Ernie Shore, Red Sox, 1917. | NINE OTHERS HAD SAME FATE Although hundreds have come within one safety of pitching a hit- less game, only nine have lost their no-hitter by tossing a home-run 11. i Be ous one-hitter was the fifth | of the season in the Majors. It was | the first Bob ever hurled although he pitched a no-hitter against the same Tigers = in Briggs Stadium June 30, 1948. In winning his fourth game against five defeats, Lemon fanned séven. Al Rosen batted in both Cleve- land runs, one with a double. The Tribe got six hits off Bob Cain and reliefer Hal White. It was Cain's fourth loss against two vic- tories.' Canadian Golfers Not Likely to Win "Canadian Open" The Canadian Open Golf Cham- pionship is set for July 4-7 over Toronto Mississaugua course--which brings up the perennial question as to whether this 'might be the year a Canadian breaks a string of 35 lean years by keeping this country's top golfing honour on Canadian soil. The question won't get a final answer until June 7, but in the meantime the season 'of somewhat wistful speculation is on The Canadian championship hasn't stayéd in Canada since 1914--more than 20 years before the Seagram Gold Cup became the symbol of vietory and the prize money which rides with it helped raise the Canadian Open into the big time. The failure of Canadian golfers to take honours in their own Open springs from the fact that the event nowadays attracts some of the best competitive golfers from the big-money US. tournament circuit. That has been true in the past when the prize money was $10,000; it will probably be even more trué now that the House of Seagram has raised the ante to $15,000. Against the competition of men who make tournament golf their livelihood and who play competitive- ly winter and summer, day in and day out, Canadian face two handi- caps--most of them can't play during the winter, and they can't play tournament golf steadily dure Weekly YACHT RACES AT TRADE FAIR The Canadian International Trade Fair is sponsoring an inter- national regatta for Lightnings and international class A, B. and C.

Club, Buffalo, Grand ing the summer. There just 'aren't enough Canddian tournaments to keep them going, and besides their primary responsibilities is to the members of their home clubs. But there is always the hope that some day a Canadian will overcome the long odds and keep the Sea- gram Gold Cup in Canada for a year--maybe even this year. The hope springs from the twin facts that Canadians have come close in the pas: and golf is one of those games where a few good breaks might well spell the difference be- tween first place and third or fourth. ; There are plenty of other top- notch' Canadian - pros who could turn the trick too. Any one of them Just might happen to get really hot for four days and become the first Canadian to keep the champion- ship at home since 1914. Sports Roundup | BY HUGH FULLERTON, Jr. NEW YORK (AP) -- Every time they have to turn on the lights in the middle of an afternoon ball game, there's a bit of discussion -- sometimes a real rhubark -- about a club getting the "advant- age" of better lighting. ..Boston Braves' Billy Southworth isn't a guy to protest about such things, but he goes for the suggestion that umpires be equipped with some such device as a photographer's exposure meter to tell them just when the lights should be used... "It might work," says Billy. 'Of course I don't object any time they decide to turn on the lights. A man mien, get hurt there when its too rk." ME:S-A IN LAMESA After the Lamesa, Tex., Lobos of the West Texas - New Mexico League had been charged with 14 errors in three games and three were charged against player-man- ager Jay Haney in one contest, the club fired official scorer 'Bill War- ren ., , Haney protested that War- ren's scoring "was hurting the morale of the ball club." Golfer Jim Ferrier argues that a rookie on the pro tournament trail can't stand ghe expense "unless he can find an 'angel, either in busi- ness or in matrimony." ... ° Ottawa Giants' Pitcher Misses 2nd No-Hitter Red Hardy has missed the boat again! Last night the little righthander of Ottawa Giants failed by an eye- lash to record a no-hit vietory for the second time this season as the Giants whipped Syracuse Chiefs 5-1. Hardy was within one out of no- hit fame when rookie Vic Power shattered his dreams with a single through short. The Chiefs had scored in the second inning on a walk and errar. Hardy blanked Springfield 40 | April 28 on one hit. Jack Wallaesa collected the lone safety, a single in the seventh. Hardy also has a two-hit shutout among his four vic- tories. The Giants clubbed Jack Robin- son and Buck Tanner for 10 hits with Hardy and Lorenzo Cabrera leading the way with two blows | each. The victory enabled the Giants to tie the. Chiefs for third place. . Montreal Royals retained their five-game first-place margin over Rochester Red Wings. The Royals downed the Springfield Cubs 6-2 while the Wings came from be- hind to nip Buffalo Bisons 10-8. Tom Lasorda stopped the Cubs on six hits to post his fourth vic- tory without a defeat. He lost his shutout in the ninth on an error, triple and single. Bobby Morgan, with -a homer, double and single: led Montreal's attack. The Red Wings trailing 7-1 at one stage, scored five runs in the ninth inning to beat the Bisons. pitcher, won his own ball game with & three-run double in the big Karl Drews, Baltimore righthand- er, also won his own game as the Orioles edged Toronto Maple Leafs 3-2, Drews belted a home-run in the fifth inning to provide the Orioles with their margin of vie- tory. Bill Glynn homered with one on in the second for the Orioles. NIAGARA FALLS WINS SOCCER LOOP GAME HAMILTON (CP) Niagara Falls defeated British Imperials 2-0 Tuesday night in a southern On- tario soccer league game at Civic D Stadium. It was the Falls' third straight win with Hughie Main playing an outstanding game, and Jack Ander- | son doing a good chore in goal. McKeckie was the star for the Imperials. RAPID ROBERTS REVIEW ~ ON SPORT Explain away this business of the Chicago White Sox leading the American League . . . "just ain't natural," says the man, * Another thing that just isn't natural, is the way in which Sox Manager Paul Richards is doing the wonders that has brought his club home from a road-trip to the east with a win streak as long as your arm. He not only has worked an out- field shift on Ted Williams, but worked a pitching shift on that gent. Knowing the Thumper dis- likes lefties, Richards sent one hurler to the outfield and brought in a left-hander. After throwing to Williams , . . and getting him te pop out, that pitcher was sent to he showers and the right hander brought back from the daisies. Richards pulled the same gag against Toronto Leafs of the In- ternational League when he was: with Buffalo. He worked the gim- mick on Bill Glynn, respected left- handed hitting first-sacker with the Leafs. i Look at the weird trades that built this wonder team, One-and- only players, as far as the Pale Hose fans were concerned, going for cast-offs from other clubs. Again the Richards gimmick worked , . . the new players show=- ed fire and almost unheard-of ability. The way the guy works may look phony . .. but Richards has his team in a strictly un-phony spot, atop the American League! The Oshawa Tennis Club is operating a Church League with- in its ranks of new members, to encourage the net sport among the coming generation. sa The Club has decided to giv over one evening a week to teams from six churches in the city. That evening will see league play for these newcomers, who will have the added privilege of in- struction each and any evening of the week, and the right to play any other time they might wish, just like a regular member. This gold-plated. membership also comes at- reduced rates, if the group joining has more "than two in its ranks. Almost 25 persons were present when - the - first meeting of these new members, called for the club last night. A representative com- mittee was named and from these a chairman will be elected. From the looks of things at the present time, a group of over 72 will operate in the league . , . that is if each church comes up with the dozen-odd members: said te be interested. - Cee. Dodwall- recalled. 'the days of the old Church League, which was operated, not only on the OTC courts, but- on those of the churches. He, . as membership chairman of the club, felt the re- establishment ofthe League was a step in the rig... direction. * CHECKLETS -- As has been said before, Frank Filchock has left the Montreal Alouettes fold, but just where he'd turn up to play or coach was a question. The other night, the Edmonton Eskimos revealed that they had the ex-NFL heaver on their list and would use him as a backfield coach and part-time quarterback. The Eskies are holding spring training these days and will have an intra-squad game next week- end to benefit junior football teams in the city. In these serums, Don Lord has looked great . . . especially as first-string kicker, his most likely assignment. It is said in reliable quarters that Leaside High School have obtained George Wearring, ter- rif.c centre with Tri-Bells Senior Cage squad, as their phys-ed. teacher. Remember this year, they had a fair juvenile team . .. watch Wearring make a hot Sen- ior combo out of it. Bobbie Rosenfeld also says that Paul Thomas, a line-mate of Wearring's on the Tri-Bells, may take a bite at the offers of tak- ing his masters' degree at the University of Illinois. . Another phys-ed man, this time a local type . . . Bill Simons, will be ih charge of the Oshawa en- tries (both 'schools) at the com- ing Cossa track and field meet at Alexandra Park this Sunday af- ternoon. That meet will have everything in the way of compe- tition. Don't miss it. . . « « By Bob Rife Many Neophytes At Indianapolis For 35th Race INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -- A new crop of drivers, toughened on fair grounds tracks and -the 'high banks" circuit, challenged a little group of shrewd veterans today in the 35th-running of the 500-mile {auto race. at Indianapolis motor speedway. \ Starting time was 11 a.m. (East- ern Standard Time), with a warm, cloudy day forecast. It was hell-on-tires lineup that already had produced seven 10-mile qualification runs faster than the previous record, & Bill Holland's 1949 record for the full 50 miles, 121.327 miles an hour, was almost certain to fall if the weather held good and there weren't too many wrecks. Holland wasn't in the lineup to protect his reeord. The Miami ta- vern owner was under suspension from the American Automobile As- sociation for competing in a non- AAA sanctioned race last fall. America's most patient sports crowd -- prepared to watch more than four hours of racing after waiting outside the gates for hours and even days -- was expected to approach a record. What the re- cord is, the speedway has never told, but the general guess is 150,- 000 plus. Mauri Rose of South Bend, Ind., and Johnny Parsons of Van Nuys, Calif." were the only former win- ners in the -33-car lineup. Both were rated strong contenders. Duke Nalon of Sherman Oaks, Calif., the popular favorite, said "Rose always is the man to beat!" Mauri won in 19477 and 1948 and shared the victory in 1941 as re- lief driver for Floyd Davis. Wilbur Shaw and Louis Meyer are the only other three-time winners. YESTERDAY'S STARS Batting Al Rosen, Indians: Drove in both Cleveland runs as the Indians defeated the Tigers 2-1.

The Sox scored a 2-1 victory over the Maple Leafs at Guelph while Legionnaires edged London Majors 8-7 at Kitchener. The two wins enabled Kitchener and Brantford to move past Lon- don into secorid place, tied a full game back of the league-leading Waterloo Tigers. London is half a game behind the second-place teams, Galt is an- other game back of London, while Guelph, with a single victory against seven losses, is in sixth and winless St. Thomas Legion is sev- enth. RAIN HALTS GAME The game at Guelph was halted with Brantford at bat in the eighth / when a thunderstorm started. It marked the first appear- ance in the Intercounty League of Phil Marchildon, the former Big League pitcher from Penetangui- shene, Ont. Marchildon, released earlier this season after failing to make a berth with Toronto Maple Leafs of the International League, gave up 11 hits, but his pitching in the tight spots was effective and he held Brantford to only two runs. He was best im the third when Brantford had runners on second and third with oneout. He struck out Brantford's heavy-hitting two- some of Luther Clifford and Wil- mer Fields. ' Edgar Special Delivery Jones pitched steady ball for Red Sox to gain his first win. He gave up six hits, five of them in the sixth and seventh? innings. He appeared to be weakening: when. the rains came, LEADS SOX BATTER Johnny ("The Devil") Richard- son led Brantford at bat with three hits in four trips, driving in one run. Gerry Wilson had two doubles. At Kitchener, the Majors came from behind with three runs to tie the score in the top half of the ninth. But Legionnaires returned | with a single run in the last of the ninth to win the see-saw tus- sle. The winning run was scored when Boyd McKay, third London pitcher, uncorked a wild pitch with | Kitchener right fielder |' | nian victory hopes Thursday night two out. Shorty Miller came in from third base Manager Clare Van Horne of Majors announced the game was being protested because of an inci- dent in the last of the seventh. He contended Umpire Frank El- liott was wrong in calling a balk on pitcher Stan Stack. The um- pire called the balk, waved run- ner Alex Sichewski to second and also called a ball on the batter. Van Horne contended that the ball shouldn't have been called. MADE NO DIFFERENCE The decision made little appar- ent difference because batter Fred Thomas pitched Kitchéner on to] score three runs and take a 7-4 lead. Johnston started for Kitchener, was removed in the sixth for Shoe- make who gave way to Solsky in the ninth, Solsky was the winner. McKay who tossed the important wild pitch was charged with the loss. Three games are scheduled for Thusrday: Brantford at St. Thom- as; Kitchener at Guelph, and London at Waterloo. FIORE IN DRAW NEWARK, N.J--Carmine Fiore, 140';, Brooklyn, fought an eight- round draw with Bobby Fenty, 138'2, New York, in the feature bout at Laurel Garden. 1951 Hambletonian May Write History 'In Harness Racing By FRITZ HOWELL Associated Press Sports Writer COLUMBUS, O -- (AP) --Gib White, harness racing son of a harness racing father, owes his 78-year-old dad a Hambletonian. And don't bt surprised if he pays the debt by winning the $90,000 classic Aug. 8 at Goshen, N.Y. It's like this. Back in 1983, in the stables of Ben White, a filly was foaleg. Ben, dean of the nations' reinsmen and four-time winner of The Hambletonian, gave the young- ster to his 19-year-old son, Gib, who was recovering slowly from the effects of a serious illness. Gib named her Rosalind, and FIGHTS LAST NIGHT BOSTON. -- Gene Hairston, 180, New York, and Joe Rindone, 1683, Boston, drew 10. ad CINCINNATI -- Charley Riley, 127, St. Louis outpointed Eddie Burgin, 125%, Cincinnati, 10. SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- Lester Fele ton, 148, Detroit, outpointed Car- men Basilio; 145, Syracuse, 10. MIAMI BEACH, Fla. -- Harold Green, 160, Brooklyn, outpointed Jose Diaz, 1542, Veneguela, 10. BROOKLYN -- Sonny Lou Vole, 143,%, New York, outpointed John- ny Luciano, 141, Paterson, N. J., 8. PORTLAND Ore. -- Harry "Kid" Matthews, 17712, Seattle, knocked out Frank Buford, 207, Oakland Calif., 3. JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Billy Brown. 161, Jacksonville. outpoint- ed Charlie Mercer, 168, Key West, told his dad that his t hope was that the darling daughter of Scotland and Alma Lee should win The Hambletonian, greatest of the three-year-old trotting classics. Old Ben brought the filly along slowly, and then drove her to straight heat victory to pick up $35,000 in. August of 1936 in the top troting race of them all. ' Folks who saw the finish said there wasn't a dry eye in the place as Gib raced into the winner's circle and threw his arms around his dad. Old Ben's victory with his ailing son's filly became one of the legends of the sport, and years later a book, Born To Trot, record- ed the story in detail. But Gib had a chance, and a good one, to write the epilogue this /ear, y And he gets that chance because an Ohio horseman went shopping for 'a yearling trotter two years ago, and picked up a good one at auction. The horseman is Bill Foster of Marion, and the yearling he pought is True Boy, son of Worthy Boy. The sire finished second to Ben's Volo Song in the 1943 Ham- bletonian, the last time the vet- eran piloted a victor in the big race. Before True Boy ever got to the races, Foster sold a half interest in the colt to the Elder White, and young Gib, now 37 and recovered from his long illness, last year drove the two-year-old to six wins in 18 starts, a 2.05 1/5 record, and purses in excess of $16,000. True Boy hiked his Hambleto- at Toledo as he won the $5,000 Matron Stake, with Gib handling the reins. The win was scored over a field of Hambletonian eligibles in the first big test for the three- year-old trotters. Gib will be up behind True Boy in The Hambletonian, and he has his sights set on driving his dad's horse right into the winner's circle to pay off that 15-year-old debt. True Boy is one of the five winter book favorites. THREE MANAGERS CHICAGO -- The White Sox in 1950 set a league record by having three different managers.
