PAGE TEN . THE DAILY TIMES.GAZETTE SATURDAY, JUNE 23, 1951 Proud of His School's Award | J. C. Fetterly, principal of Ritson Road Public School, is shown above proudly holding the new "Victor's Sports & Cycle Shield," donated by that firm and presented to the Ritson Road School for being judged the most outstanding (on a basis of colour, entries and general performance) during the official "March Past" which opened the program of' track and field events for the annual Oshawa Public School Games, held at Alexandra Park on Thursday afternoon, ~--Times-Gazette Staff Photo. {27 Present indications are that there'll be no senior baseball games played at the Kinsmen Civic Memorial Stadium today, either this after- noon or evening. However, that is not yet definite, as every effort will be made to have the diamond in shape for a game tonight at least, if possible. More rair would completely wash out all possibility of any | game being played. Regardless, Peterborough Marines will be the next | opposition for the Oshawa Merchants, as the local seniors are scheduled | to play a league game down in the Liftlock City on Monday night, under the lights. Charlie Walsh, a catcher of proven ability who helped Mer- chants win their championship titles last season, arrived in Oshawa yes- terday and will be ready to take his turn with the team on their next appearance. Meanwhile, a colored pitcher, lefthander, Willie McIntosh by name, who attends a Georgia college but resides in Miami, Florida, arrived this morning for a trial with the Merchants. The local club management is determined to strengthen the team's pitchng department and they still have a couple of weeks in which to bring in some hurling talent. -- GPORT SNAPSHOT By Geo. H. CampeeLL * * * The local "Major League" softball tilt booked for tonight at Alexandra Park, between United Taxi and Lions Club, may still be played, depending on the condition of the south diamond but if not, then it will have to be re-scheduled for a later date. Meapwhile, the - same two teams are booked to clash on Monday night at Alexandra Park so fans who want to see these two teams clash haven't very long to wait, either way. The other feature sports attraction for local sport fans. on Monday evening will bé the Junior baseball game at the Stadium, when "Snowball" Wilson's Transporters take on tha North Toronto Bruins. The Bruins and the Oshawa Transporters have been waging stern battles every time they clash and this game Monday night gives the Oshawa Juniors stiil another chance to boost their North Toronto League leadership margin -- and since they're figuring that race on a point basis this season, it behooves the Trans- porters to pile up as many points as they can -- and clean up as many schedule games as they can. Under this system of points, a flock of postponed games, against teams which normally Oshawa would have beaten, is just about as bad as losing the points -- at least they will not have the points and the games might never get played. | + + Local theatre managers are doing their level best these days to boost the sale of tickets for the Variety Night Show, being held at Maple Leal Stadium on Tuesday night. This is an annual event, spon- sored by the Variety Club with total proceeds going to that excep- tionally worthy charity, the sponsorship of Variety Village, where hun- dreds of Ontario's unfortunate cripples are rehabilitated and taught how to live an independent and useful life. Several of Oshawa's citizens have been given invaluable aid and guidance at Variety Village. Tickets for this show are on sale at the box office of each of Ushawa's four theatres. The event is Tuesday nignt in Toronto and in addition to the International League game between Syracuse Chiefs and Toronto Leafs + ~--who have this past week had a lot of nip-and-tuck games--the sho ! will include Rudy Valee's 40-minute show, an exhibition game betwee Turk Broda's N.HL. All-Stars and the Press-Radio men of Toronto. Joe Orysdale is running the team against Turk Broda's men. Yesterday in a practice session, Jim Vipond suffered a 3-stitch cut over his eye when he crashed with "Spiff" Evans of the Maple Leaf Gardens pub- licity staff, when both ran under a "pop fly." A flock of attendance prizes will be given away Tuesday night also, with the No. 1 prize being a 'elevson set. Get your tickets early! * + * Having "covered" the annual Public School "Games" o; - day afternoon, with the excellent co-operation of Harold na and his assistants, we are in a position to fully realize that the tre- mendous track-and-field meet run off then was the largest of its kind held in Oshawa. It was even bigger than the mammoth spec- tacle held nearly 20 years ago, when the new cinder track (actually one of the best of its kind in Canada) was officially opened. We can still remember Alex Wilson winning the quarter-mile race here that day--he was one of Canada's best at the distance. But getting back to Thursday's athletic meet, "Tom" Cotie, sports supervisor of the local Public Schools, deserves all kinds of credit. Actually the guy is #0 shy and backward at coming forward that his presentations do not receive as much advance notice as they deserve. Of course in this instance, there wasn't room for many parents. There were nearly 4,000 in attendance with 1,178 competitors. Wow! What a track meet! With all the teachers having a job to do and doing it well the entire program of over 20 events went off with clock-like pre- cision. They even had as many as three events going at once. There was no delay, the competition is marvellous and the enthusiasm of the youngsters, above all, created a spectacle that would thrill any sports fan. Hearty congrats are in order to all. who helped put it over. * * * BRIGHT BITS -- Ha! Just took a look outside and remembered last night's rain and even we realized th i as ts ere couldn't possibl 'bright bits" for today, 50-0-0-0, g'bye now! p Je jany Roller Skating o TONIGHT! o MONDAY NIGHT! "ARENA New York (AP)--Getting general manager Frank Lane to talk about Chicago White Sox is not hard. The White Sox are his ball club -- piece by piece. He should know more about it than any one else. How does he feel about the Sox as serious pennant contenders? says® Lane. "I don't know where "The end is a long way off." we'll finish. All I know is Paul (Richards) has got the team hust- ling." Richards, the manager of the year thus far, is Lane's personal pick. Lane liked him ever since he ot his first limpse of the long lean Texan when he was playing- manager of the Atlanta club. "What I like about Richards is that he knows his mind," Lane said. "Paul is a guy with strong likes and dislikes. When he says, 'get me this guy," he means it. Richards doesn't hedge." 'Lane said Richards makes the job of being general manager. "pret ty easy. When Paul came with us he set up a pattern. He wanted a speedy club. 'Never mind the hit- ter who occasionally belts the ball out of the park," he said. 'We're playing in a big park and I'd rather have line-drive hitters and fast base runners.' "' KEPT TO PATTERN "I followed the pattern as best as I could. I made deals... we've Leen lucky. I had to gamble the other fellow did not know his ball GENERAL MGR. FRANK LANE THINKS PAUL RICHARDS MAN FOR THE JOB player as well as I thought I did." Lane gives full credit to Richards "Richards is the kind of guy you hate when he's on the other side. He used to catch, manage and um- e the games when he was with tlanta. tI used to get me so mad I'd want to murder him. But he was always the guy you wanted on your side." Minoso, Steph BEANTOWN.

Chicago led 3-1 when Williams ame up with one out in the fhird. | He bunted -- that's right --bunted, | | neatly down the unprotected third | base line.

Minarcin halted the Chiefs' streak last night as he spun a neat 10 two --hit victory. Minarcin walked six and fanned none in posting his seventh victory and re- ceived excellent support afield. Minarcin also scored the only run of the game in the seventh in- ning. He scampered home on a passed ball. Jack Robinson was the hard luck loser. Robinson al- lowed only four hits. Frank Marino pitched Spring- field Cubs to a thrilling 1-0, 15- inning victory over Elmer Corwin and Ottawa Giants.

Corwin per- mitted eight hits, walked six and fanned five. Rochester Red Wings and Tor- onto Maple Leafs split a double- header.
