PAGE TWELVE THE DAILY TIMES.-CGAZETTE { . FRIDAY, JUNE 15, 1951 Canadian Motorcycle Riders Seek Dirt Track Championship At Oshawa Races, On July 2 Top Riders, Canada and U.S., Coming Here For Holiday Attraction -- Banner Crowd Expect- ed To Watch Dare- devils Vie For Honors This year deems well to be the shining star of motorcycle racing in Oshawa. Riders will be coming from all over Canada and the USA to participate in this county's greatest motorcycle event. Such great riders as Ted Stur- gess, Ralph Carter, Godfrey Neal, Bob Sparks are sure to be here to make their attempts at the Canadian championships as well as Oshawa's local talent. Motorcycle racing is a work of art that demands great skill and strength. You can well imagine what might happen if the judg- ment of only one rider were to err at speeds of over 80 MPH or how the inability to take the sharp turns with deadly accuracy at breakneck speeds would surely" re- sult in the crackup of one, two or 11 the riders. - This thrill packed sport has had people standing with excitement in the past years. With the added attraction of the championships of all Canada at stake the riders are going to try just twice as hard to win this year. An interesting and somewhat as- tounding fact that adds to the ex- citement of motorcycle racing is that brakes on a racing motor- cycle are non-existent. The riders depend solely on slowing down their engines to reduce the speed of their bikes before turning into - the corners. It is a fact that the riders speed up their machines once they have started making weir turn. s gp is in the turn that the cham- pionship riders show their stuff. At the tremendous speeds with which the motorcyclists attempt to negotiate these corners it is im- possible to keep the motorcycle upright. There are not fqur wheels to help the riders, if they are to stay in the saddle the riders must use their left leg as a pivot sliding the foot along the ground to keep the motorcycle from sliding right out from under them. Ability with strength is demanded if a rider is to remain on the right side of the bike. The thrills are not over even on the straightway. You can see the riders vieing for position--posi- tions that will assure them the best possible opportunity to over- take the leading rider. So closely and deftly do these riders man- oeuvre that bare inches separate one rider from another. A little slip--a 'wugit error in judgement --a rolling stone could and would turn the racé into one big jumble of rides and bikes. : An excited screaming multitude of nearly 10,000 watched these races last year. It is expected that the Canadian championships will attract more riders and even greater crowds this year. Archie Wilson Supplies Bison Power Pokes Gene Markland indirectly figures in Buffalo Bisons' surge to a con- tending position in the Interna- tional League pennant race. Markland, an infielder with the Bisons last year, was drafted last fall by New York Yankees. The Bisons put in a claim for Mark- land in the event the Yanks de- cided to send him down. . The Yanks decided to option Markland to Kansas City and in- duced the Bisons to pass their claim by agreeing to switch the option of outfielder Archie Wilson from San Francisco to Buffalo. Since his' arrival from the coast league Wilson has supplied the Bi- sons with plenty of punch. He helped the Bisons reel off their ninth straight victory last night with a two - run homer in the seventh inning. The blow was his 12th, tops in the circuit. The Bi- sons went on to down the pace- setting Montreal Royals 6-2. Rookie Tom Acker went all the way and stopped the Royals on five hits to bag his sixth victory. George Moskovich and Wally Post also homered for the Bisons. Veteran Karl Drews survived a rocky start and pitched the Bal- timore Orioles to a 6-3 victory over Rochester Red Wings. The Wings scored three in the first on a two- run homer by Russ Derry and double by Hal Rice. The Orioles came back with one in the second and took the lead for keeps with three in the third. Rain washed out games between Ottawa and Toronto and Spring- field and Syracuse. SCISSORED SPORT (By The Canadian Press) GREATEST SOCCER TEAM Jimmy McGrory, manager of the Glasgow Celtics 'soccer team, put his home-town reputation on the firing line Thursday when asked about the greatest team in the last 50 years., : Without hesitation McGrory said the Celtic team which won the Scot- tish League for six years in a row, beginning in the 1907-08 season, was easily the best squad ever to wear the green and white, and was probably the best team in soccer history. The touring Scottish team under McGrory was given a civic recep- tion and banquet in Toronto Thurs- day and will play the touring Ful- ham team there Saturday. ENTER GOLF TOURNEY Willingdon Cup star Gerry Kes- selring heads a strong Kitchener delegation to the Geulph Lions Club's annual golf tournament Sa- turday. Moe Norman, Milt Plomske, and Bill Franklin, three of Ontario's top amateurs, will also represent Kitchener in the 18-hole medal play tournament. The Guelph club has offered $200 to any other lions club that can defeat a selected local foursome. Bud Smith, Bill Thompson, Bill Martin and Garth Nelson will carry the home town's colors. GIRLS TAKE UP CRICKET * A group of Edmonton women cal- ling themselves the "better halves cricket eleven," have taken up the game of cricket. They held their first practice Wednesday night and announced they will challenge an Edmonton men's team to a match Aug. 6. SHERIFF SUES CHAMP Sheriff Dan Tehan of Cincinnati has sued heavyweight boxing champion Ezzard Charles for $124,- 050 damages as a result of an automobile accident. Charles' car while it was being driven by Mrs. Lucille Belle Fer- guson, who also is named in the suit. The accident occurred during a celebration following Charles win- ning the heavyweight champion- ship after a 15-round bout with Jersey Joe Walcott in Chicago in 1949. CITATION TAKES THRILLER Citation Thursday won Hollywood Park's one-mile $15,0000 century handicap, beating his previous con- queror,- Be Fleet, in a thrilling stretch duel. Citation, taking the winner's share of $8250, boosted his all-time earnings to $952,710. Sturdy One was third. It was Citation's 44th start. Only once in his brilliant career has he finished out of the money. NEW NHL REFS Frank Udvari of Kitchener and Jack Mehlenbacher of Hagersville, Ont., have been offered contracts as National Hockey League ref- erces, referee - in - chief Carl Voss said Thursday. Both men were referees last year in' Ontario Hockey Association Junior A and Major series. Voss said that two other men, whose names were not disclosed, have been recruited as NHL re- ferees from the Pacific Coast Hoc- key League. Tehan alleged he was struck by | sta Ontario Senior Baseball Games The senior Intercounty basebail league will be asked to rule on whether a fielder caught a long fly ball in last night's game at Waterloo between the Tigers and Guelph Maple Leafs. The sixth-place Leais. won 2-1, dropping the Bengals to a second- place tie with the Kitchener Legion- naires, idle last night. In the other Intercounty game last night in London, Majors con- nected for 10 hits to beat St. Tho- mas Legion 7-2. Waterloo yelled it was robbed when Umpire Bill Moralee of Lon- don ruled that Guelph centre field- er Joe Consoli caught Auggie Her- chenratter's fly to deep centre field with three runners on and two out in the eighth. Feelings ran high, and the Tigers' Joe Yosurak was thrown out of the game in the ninth inning when he jostled plate umpire Murray who called him out on strikes. Chasing Herchenratter's fly, Con- soli turned his back, and came up with the ball. Players in the Water- loo bullpen said he caught it on the first bounce. Doubts of the umpire's ruling were strengthened when Consoli pegged the ball to first, where the first baseman tagged Herchenratter. Guelph's southpaw Jackie Bowes went all the way, scattering five hits and fanning 10. Both of Guelph's runs were unearned, on two errors if the fifth inning. Tommy White for London pitched six-hit ball to help beat St. Thomas. He left the game in the ninth with a pulled back muscle, but Bill Slack, 16-year-old junior hurler, came in to fan two remaining. Le- gion batters. Tim Burgess of London, who went into the game with a .300 batting average, had a home run, triple and single in four times at bat. ON DECK TONIGHT Both Galt Terriers and Guelph | have high hopes for their game to- night at Guelph, the only inter- county game billed. Galt will field some reinforce- ments -- Jack Barry, righthand pitcher from Newport, N. Y., and as battery mate a former pro cat- cher, Tom Cocitti, 38, of Rochester. Phil Marchildon, who hopes for a comeback with Guelph that will lead back to the professional lea- gues, will be seeking his second straight win. He blanked Waterloo Tigers with a two-hitter on his last rt. "I think I could help 'a pro club for another two or three years," says Marchildon, who is 34. After pitching two weeks ago, Marchildon was troubled with blood poisoning in his pitching arm, and he still has a lump, but his doctor assured him it isn't dangerous. Guelph manager Frank Gnup says he'll sign another within a day or two, a former Triple A player who, says Gnup, 'will win every game he pitches for us." PETES STILL LEAD Peterborough Petes, playing at home last night, strengthened their first - place standing in the Via- duct Major League with a 5-3 win over Toronto Kingsways. In a Viaduct double-bill at To- ronto, Craftons played and lost both games -- 6-3 to Staffords and 16-4 to Oshawa Merchants. For Oshawa, Jose Morales hit a grand slam home run and Stan Miller fanned nine in the seven-inning game. BATTER'S PARADISE The senior Intercounty seems to be a league for batters, if fat aver- ages mean anything. No less than 13 players were hit- ting .300 or better at last reckon- ing, which included Monday night's games. Wilmer (The Great) Fields has moved into top ranking over Dale Markert of Galt and Irish Miskim- mons of London, leaders for the last two weeks, Fields is hitting 392, Market .383 and Miskim- mons .358. However the leaders face a new threat, Don Butler of the last-place St. Thomas Legion, whe is nominal leader with .462 but has been in less than half his club's games. He has been in most of its fights, though, and has been twice thrown out of games for arguing with Um- pire Frank Slota. Luther Clifford of the .league- leading Brantford Red Sox" leads in runs batted in with 18. Brantford's Fields may be on the way to disproving the idea that pitchers aren't good batters. Be- sides leading on hits, he is one sides leading on hits, he is one of five Intercounty pitchers who after Monday night -each had three wins and five losses. The others are Ted Alexander of London, Alf Gavey and Johnny Moore of Brantford, and Red Tallevi of Waterloo. Augie Mormino of Galt and Joe Yosurak of Waterloo each has four wins and one loss, while Yosurak leads in strikeouts with 25. KOVACS OUST TILDEN IN PRO TENNIS PLAY Cleveland (AP)-- Pancho Segura of Oakland, Calif., swept into the semi-finals of the international pro- fessional tennis championships last night. Segura, Canadian pro champion, whipped Elwood Cooke of New York 6-1, 6-1, 6-4. Kovacs eliminated 58 - year - old Bill Tilden 6-4, 6-3, 6-3.

The Yanks came to the last of the | the big (six feet, three inches, 230 ninth with a 2-1 iead in the series and a 2-1 lead in the ball game. Brooklyn was hitless, They had pushed across their lone run with a walk. The Dodger had men on first and second, again via walks. Cook- ie Lavagetto batted for Eddie Stanky. With the count one strike, Lavagetto doubled against the right field wall, scoring the tieing and winning runs. Thus was shattered one of the most throbbing '"'almosts" in base- ball history. No pitcher has ever tossed a no-hitter in a world series game. No pitcher ever came closer -- just two series -- thansbig Bill Bevens. Bevens was in town for a series against Vancouver Capilanos to- day. He's still pitching -- for Sa- lem Senators of the Class B West- ern International League. "How many times you been ask- ed about that day, Bill?"' He was asked. "Oh, quite a few, I guess," he grime wryly. 'Most everywhere 20." The way he said it you could tell pounds) fellow still felt pretty bad It was a long skid from New York to Salem. He stayed with the Yanks in '48, pitched very little, went to Chicago White Sox in '49, then to Seattle of the Pacific Coast League, south to Houston. In 1950, he won four and lost six for Sacramento of the Cost League. This spring, at 33, he was back in the Salem uniform he had dis- carded 12 years before. Is he trying a comeback? "Sure," Bevens smiled. "I don't figure to get back to the majors but I'd like another spell in the Coast League." "I felt pretty bad," he added. | YESTERDAY'S STARS Batting: Gil Hodges, Dodgers-- Socked a two-run homer with two out in the ninth to give Brooklyn 2-1 victory over St. Louis.
