FRIDAY, JULY 6, 1951 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE ELEVEN RAPID ROBERTS REVIEW 4 ON SPORT uw. ice broken on the rug- by front by the blurb yester- day about Alouettes' acquisition of George Ratterman, it shouldn't be too far off-base to mention the doings of the Raid- er executive at their recent ~ meetings with the other clubs of the ORFU Intermediate League's Eastern Division. At last writing, the local divi- sion of the group was to have included six teams . . . but if no better co-operation comes forth from the clubs involved, there is some doubt that the loop will even operate. Orillia want more than the specified number of imports + « « Cobourg and Peterborough want a single schedule . , . Osh- awa wants a double schedule and the right to the three To- ronto boys who have turned out with their club the past three years, The two Toronto clubs are keeping so quiet, that their pres- ence in the league come open= ing day is highly improbable. They however have said they'd like all Toronto. players to be declared imports, if they play for a team outside the city. That would make players Brod- fe, Armstrong and Ellis (non- imports under an east-of-Broad- view ruling) all susceptible to the rule which allows but three out-of-towners on a team from a city of over 12,000 population. We can see The Raider's ar- gument for the double schedule . . . they would only get three home games on a single schedule (the two Toronto clubs being out of the league). That isn't exactly enough to build up in- terest in a team. With floodlights at Peter- borough and Oshawa, mid-week games are possible for half the proposed four-team league and with almost 10 weeks to get the affair over with, scheduling dif- ficulties should be few. Sounds like a tempest in a teapot . . . wonder why the delegations from the eastern communities won't go for the long schedule? Import salar- jes too high over the longer route? CHECKLETS -- Don't look now, but the Oshawa Merch- ants ball club have a cute lit- tle attention drawer Tn the St. Louis Sporting News asking for exhibition games with clubs from all over the good old US. of A, and that with the locals having trouble even mow fitting in league games to the Stadium's very busy schedule of events, The hardwood floor at Sim- coe Hall's gymnasuum has been laid, and a lot of other wood work . . . doors, windows and the like . . . in the process of being put into place. From the looks of things, that September opening may well come off right on schedule. Those Kaycee Monarchs who visit here this Saturday even- ing are currently on a fat win streak. , . leading the Negro American League's western di- vision . . , and only a couple of games off the pace of the east- ern division leader. 'Tis said the Monarchs best hurler is a southpaw. Transporter opposition this Saturday afternoon will be the very tough and very cocky North Toronto Bruins. The locals haven't fared to the best ad- vantage against that club and their smart southpaw, Frank Repchick. We imagine this tus- sle will have a big bearing on the final league standing . . . Bruins are the only club with even a faint chance of catching the locals before the schedule ends on Civic Holiday. « « « by Bob Rife. Gil Hodges Slaps 27th Homer To Pace Ruth's Record Year Leads Brooks Win Over Giants -- Leads Ruth's Pace of 27 By Five Games -- Yanks Climb Above White Sox. Maybe its time to take Gil Hod- ges seriously. With 27 home tuns in Brooklyn's first 73 games, the Dodger first baseman is running five games ahead of Babe Ruth's all - time record pace of 1927. The Babe didn't hit No. 27 until July 8 in the Yanks' 78th game. Brooklyn won't play its 78th until after the all - star game break. No wonder the Brooks are 7% games in front of the second -place New York Giants and pulling away fast. Their recovery from a mid- summer slump coincided with Hod- ges' latest burst of homers. Gil ripped into Larry Jansen for his 27th last night at Ebbets Field, a few seconds after Andy Pafko also rifled a Jansen pitch into the stands. BROOKS CLAW BACK Although the Giants wobbled big Don Newcombe in a four - run eighth inning, the Brooks clawed back with three and went on to win 84, It was Newcombe's - 12th victory. If Hodges and the Dodgers are running away from the National field, the American four - way race can provide any missing New York climbed back into first place, a half - game ahead of Chi- cago, by bopping Washington 8-2 in a night game after Chicago had been shut out for the first time 8-0, by Detroit's Freddie Hutchin- son Boston closed in on the leaders by manhandling Philadelphia, 8-3 with Ted Williams and Bobby Doerr hitting homers to back up Walt Masterson's brilliant relief pitching. The Red Sox are only two games back and Cleveland, rained out of its night game at St. Louis, is only 4% away. 3RD STRAIGHT LOSS The Giants' third straight loss at Brooklyn not onl mpened their pennant hopes but left the team vulnerable to attack from the rear, 8t. Louis chewed up Chicago 10-2 to breeze within one-half game of New York. The Cards trail Brook- -- ® L 4 lyn by eight. Cliff Chambers knock- ed off his third win in a row with a five-hitter. Wally Westlake and Red Schoendienst led the Cards' 14-hit attack on Johnny Klippstein and a parade of Cub pitchers. Boston edged the Phillies 7-6 in 11 innings but lost two starting pitchers Vern Bickford and Johnny Sain -- with injuries, Bick- ford pulled up with a sof'e shoulder after four innings and Sain's pitch- ing hand was injured by deflecting Granny Hamner's grounder in the eighth. Both will be out a week. With Ralph Kiner sitting out a three - day suspension, Pittsburgh succumbed to Howie Fox's pitch- ing in a 4-0 Cincinnati win. Lloyd Merriman and Dixie Howell hit homers to ruin Howie Pollet's bid for his 100th major league victory. Courtice Eleven Leads Darlington Soccer League The Darlington Soccer League has passed the half-way mark in the schedule with the exception of a couple of teams, with very keen competition among the teams. The following resume of the standing up to and including games played | July 2nd tells its own story. The executive is making prepar- ations for an exhibition game, com- posed 'of a team from Toronto and an all-star aggregation from this league, to be played some time in July or early August. YESTERDAY'S STARS Pitching -- Freddie Hutchinson, Tigers -- Blanked Chicago White Sox 8-0 with five hits for their first shutout of the season. Batting -- 8id Gordon, Braves-- Came through the bases - loaded single off Jim Konstanty in 11th inning for 7-6 win over Phillies.

'Toronto (CP) -- Jack Kent Cooke 38-year-old super-super-salesman who pyramided a door-to-door 'bookseller's job into swnership of a radio station and one of Canada's largest-selling magazines has bought himself a baseball team. Cooke, in typical fashion, prom- ised the long-suffering Toronto ball fans "a new deal" and a winning team by September, At present his newly-acquired club, the Tor- onto Maple Leafs, is fifth in the eight-team International League. Commenting on Leafs, who have lost 43 of their 80 games this sea- son, Cooke said: "We have a team that definitely belongs in the first division and we'll get them there--if we have to buy out the entire Chicago White Sox roster." Cooke, who takes over as club president, said he bought his stock from retiring president Donald G. Ross and directors Max Haas an John K. McCausland. The price? "It was plenty," Cooke said. ' The transfer got him a franchise in the International League; a lease on Maple Leaf stadium; con- tracts of 25 ball players; General Manager Joe Zeigler and Team Manager Joe Becker. And the club's working agree- ment with the American League 8t. Louis Browns is being used to full advantage already. "What we need right now, is a player that can be counted on to bust up a ball game consistently-- not just in spurts" stated Cooke. Cooke, a native of Hamilton, Ont. started his career selling encycllo- paedias. Later he went into broa- casting and now is owner of Tor- onto's radio Station CKEY.
