THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE ELEVEN MONDAY, JULY 16, 1951 SILVERTS STOP OSHAWA JUNIORS BY 7-6 SCORE RAPID ROBERTS REVIEW Transporters Last-Ditch Rally Falls 1-Run Short of Mark In 2nd Game of Twin-Bill|.. McTavish Suffers 2nd Loss--Jeffs and 0'Con- nor Lead Oshawa Bat- ters -- Outfield Error By Locals Is Key Play -- Stantons Here To- night. By BOB RIFE Toronto -- Oshawa Transporters made it close when they lost 7-6 to | New Toronto Silverts in an ab- breviated seven-inning game play- ed at Eglinton Park Sunday after- noon, North Toronto Bruins took Peter Pans 15-4 in the first game of the holiday double bill, The fourth-place Silverts sent Piteles Ken Ramsey to the hill and e kept the usually heavy-hitting Oshawans under cover until the top of the seventh when they rallied for four of their total of seven runs. McTAVISH'S LOSS Bill McTavish, one of the top |p sight-handers of the Transporter staff, was back on a week-end holi- day from studies at Flint, Michigan, and he got the starting assignment for Oshawa. Evidently somewhat out of shape, Bill found the going rather rough, and was knocked from the box in the fourth inning with the score 5-2 for Silverts.; Nick Mroczek came on in relief and tossed two-hit, two- run ball. The loss was of course charged to McTavish, and that leaves his record at an even .500, two wins and two losses. Silverts made it 1-0 in the bot- tom of the first when Ron Cabot singled to right, stole second, and scored on Jim Welsh's single to left. The Transporters got that one back in the top of the second. Jack Jeffs, their pace-setting batter, singled sharply to left and stole second. Sarnovsky fanned for the second out, but' Frank Hooper came up with a drill shot at the second- sacker. It scored Jeffs from sec- ond and tied the game. "OKE" BATS 'EM IN Oshawa broke into a 2-1 lead in the first of the third. Bill McTav- ish slapped a hot. one through "shortstop. He stole second and saw two outs made before Brian Mc Al- lister singled to centre to move Bill in to third. Ted O'Connor drove in the second run for his club with a line single to right. Jim Welsh led-off in fhe last of the fourth with a bunt that rolled safely along the thirdbase line. It seemed to unsettle McTavish, and he walked the next batter to make sp" matters a little warmer, ' Bill Hannivan laid down another bunt, and this time Hooper's toss to first: was wild, to allow one run 0 score and set-up two more on second and H McTavish bore down on the next batter, whiffing him for the first out, He seemed to have the situa- tion under control again, but Tom Buckley disproved this with a line- smash into deep centre. Jake Hastings made a stab at the ball, muffed it, and saw it roll into the outer daisies, Three runs scor- ed on the blow. Flood, Hannivan and Buckley crossed the plate. Buckley got credit for a double and two-base outfield error, MROCZEK IN RELIEF That was all for McTavish. Mroc- sek walked the first man to face him, but got the next on a sacri- fice play and then struckout the next to end the frame. He marched through the fifth in peat style, but had a little trouble in the last of the sixth, Hannivan led off with a bloop single to right. Liness dropped a bunt that Mroc- sek picked twice and missed. He ' walked the next batter to load the sacks. Pitcher Ken Ramsey slapped a long fly into right field. Jeffs caught the ball for the first out, and played the pill to the in- field. Mroczek saw there was no . chance of a play at the plate on the runner coming in from third, so he made the cut-off and tossed to second. O'Connor put the tag on the runner coming down from first, and a nice twin-killing had been executed. Varacalli singled to score the seventh run for the Silverts, but Mroczek got Smith swinging, to end the game as far as the New Toron~ to batters were concerned. NEEDED FIVE RUNS - Needing five runs for a tle, the went to work with a 'will in the tpo of the seventh. Pinch-hitter Lou Jankowski start- ed things with an errored bingle et short. He stole second and moved into third on Mroczek's . grass-cutting single to. left. Lou Jaked a drive to the plate on the hit and fooled the outfielder into 'making a toss to the catcher . . . meanwhile Mroczek raced for sec- ond, He gained the sack standing up. © Brian Coggins slapped an easy .. hopper at thirdbase, for what look- ,.ed like the first out. The third- 'baseman elected to play the ball to 'first ignoring the run that would . 'score since his club was ahead 7-2. His toss was high and wide and two » runs scored making it 7-4. Coggins ended up on second. + Jozkowski and McAllister popped out to leave it strictly up to Ted O'Connor. } ,. "Oke" blasted the ball down * thirdbase line and another run had :-scored to make it 7-5. The Trans- i porters were on the march, JEFFS THIRD HIT ¥ Ted moved to second on the left- ,. fielder's play to the plate, which left ; him in scoring position when Jack + Jeffs got his third hit of the game, \:a single to right. That made the 1. score 7-6. t+ Jack stole second on a close play, «and now the onus was on Henry , Barnovsky.

Toronto Takes Double Win From Buffalo Jack Cooke, new owner of To-|th ronto Maple Leafs, is off to a good start in his drive to build up at- tendance and the Leafs into first- division timber. Since he took over July 9 Cooke has handed out free drinks, hot dogs and orchids and the fans have responded. In addition, the Leafs have started winning and are knocking on the door of the first division. The largest crowd since Cooke took over -- '12,122 fans -- turned out Sunday to watch the Leafs sweep a doubleheader 3-2 and 54, from Buffalo Bisons. The Leafs now have played to 39,862 fans under their new owner. Bobby Rhawn was the batting star in both games. Rhawn broke up the 1l-inning opener with his fourth single in six trips. He blast- ed 'a two-run homer in the seventh and final inning to win the second game. The homer was Rhawn's fifth and the third he has hit in the final inning to win a game The sweep moved the Leafs to within two games of the .500 mark and within 4%2 of the fourth-place Rochester Red Wings, who dropped a doubleheader to last-place Spring field Cubs, 5-4 and 7-2. Gene Hooks singled home Carm Mauro with the winning run in the 10 - inning opener. Pinch - hitter Frank Lamanna of the Cubs sent the game into overtime with a two- run homer in the ninth, Bill Pad- get gained his 11th victory in the nightcap. Montreal Royals and Ottawa Giants split a doubleheader. The Royals won the opener 4-3. The Giants took the nightcap 2-0 be- hind the three - hit pitching of George Heller. Claude Corbitt drove in two runs on a triple and three singles to lead Syracuse Chiefs to a 9-7 de- cision over Baltimore Orioles. Home runs by Anse Moore, Bill Glynn, Russ Kerns and Howie Moss kept the Orioles in business. Daoust Wins Schenley Race "At Point Viau Pont Viau, Que. (CP) -- Bernard Daoust of Lachine, Que., Sunday won the Schenley gold helmet trophy at an international regatta gronsored by the Canadian Boaung Daoust piloted his CN-11 to victo- ry in both heats of the 225 class, division 2. Second went to Art '| Hatch, Hamilton, Ont.; third, Bill two heats over the five-mile course on Riviere des Prairies north of Montreal island. An estimated 15,000 persons lin- ed the banks as the inboards roared along the smooth course. Ernie Roberts of Cornwall suffered the only mishap of the day when he was thrown from his boat in one of the heats of the 225 class, di- vision 2. Roberts came close to drowning when is life belt became water- logged but was pulled from the water in time. His $2500 boat, 4CN6 was lost. In division 1, of class 225, Daoust took second, Hatch third and Ro- berts fourth. Frank Ramsay of Rideau Ferry, Ont., took first in division 1, Can- adian. design, with double wins in the two heats. Second went to George Carnegie, Toronto; third, Bob Adams, Montreal; and fourth, Gordon Porter, Toronto. Another double victory in both heats of the 135 class, Canadian design, gave George Reynolds of Brockville, Ont., the class cham- pionship. Bill Hodgson, Toronto, was second; D. Belfie, Gananoque, Ont., third, and Taylor Fulford, Brockville, fourth, The only non-C winner was Tommy Turner of Kenmore, N.Y., who posted in heats of the 135 class open. Ontario Senior Baseball Games A 19-year-old lefthander turned a masterful pitching perform- ance for the lowly St. Thomas Le- gion of the senior Intercounty Base- ball League Saturday night coming within one batter of hyrling a no-hit, no-run game. The stylish southpaw was Bill Byham, formerly of Bloomsburg Teachers College in Pennsylvania, and the 6-0 victory over the se- cond-place London Majors was his first win against five defeats this season. . An infield single by pinch-hitter Billie Flick in the last of the ninth robbed Byham of a no-hitter. It was a heartbreaker for the young pitcher as he saw Flick beat out an infield hit. J Not an opponent .got past first base as Byham gave up two bases on balls and struck out two. His mates committed one error but that didn't cause him much dif- ficulty. The victory, second in a row for St. Thomas, indicated the last-place Legion might still produce a threat to the security of some of the lower-spotted teams in the seven- club league. The Legion now is five games behind Kitchener Le- gionnaires who dropped their third game in three nights, a 13-3 lacing by Guelph Leafs. Kitchener, in fourth place last Thursday, now is Galt Terriers, meanwhile edged the leagueleading Brantford Red Sox 10-9. Galt and Guelph now are tied for fourth spot, 9% games behind third-place Waterloo Tigers idle Saturday. At Kitchener, Legionnaires com- mitted at least four errors and put on one of the poorest defensive games of the season. However, they were held to four hits and three runs by Guelph southpaw Jackie Boes. Bowes, in trouble early in the game, im- proved as the game went along and fanned 10 batters. He walked ree. Roly Larouche started for Kit- chener. He gave up two runs in the first inning. Hal Johnston re- lieved him in the seventh and gave way to a pinch hitter. Don Fuehrer finished up. At Galt, only one strikeout was achieved in the game. Brantford used two pitchers; Galt three. Red Sox came through with two runs in the ninth, but with the bases loaded and one out, they were stopped by George Rodems, who replaced Barry on the mound. Terriers' new playing manager, Johnny Russian, gave fine leader- ship. He got a homer, double and single to drive in four . Altogether five homers were hit. Wilbur Fields and Luther Crawford got them for Brantford and Wally Nowak, Russian and Jimmy Schin- dler hit round-trippers for the win- ners. » In the Viaduct League, Oshawa Merchants won a 14-5 decision over Toronto Staffords Saturday after- noon in a game that dragged on for almost three hours. Tony De- Laurentis held the visiting Staf- fords to five hits. Every mem- ber of the Merchants hit safely at least once. At Kirkland Lake, the seven-hit pitching of Art Hillman led Kirk- land Gryehounds to a 3-2 victory over Porcupine Combines in a Timiskaming League game. Hillman showed good control, striking out 11 and giving up only one base on balls. At Coniston, Frood Tigers scored a 9-7 win to snap Coniston's vic- tory streak in the Nickel Belt se- nior league at seven games. The win moved Frood to within half a game of the league-leading Creigh- ton Indians. It was the fourth pitch- ing victory in four starts for ace righthander Joe Schisler. In another Nickel Belt senior game, at Sudbury, Garson Grey- hounds defeated Creighton 8-5 be- hind Marty 's effective re- lief pitching. " Saturday, Peterborough Petes ed Toronto Kingsways 9-3 in Peterborough to lengthen their lead in the Viaduct Major League. In Sunday action in Toronto, Os- hawa Merchants trounced Toronto Croftons 90 and Kingston edged Staffords 5-3. In an Oshawa exhibition game, the Viaduct League's Oshawa Mer- chants Saturday night nosed out St. Catharines Stags of the Nia- gara District senior circuit 3-2. In the Niagara League itself, Iiagals Falls Fords Slrenginened eir first-place spot Satur: y beating Welland Stokes 5-3. Petes Topple Brampton 10-9 In Lacrosse Playing at home, St. Catharines Athletics had to scramble to beat Toronto West Yorks 15-10 in their senior Ontario Lacrosse Associa- tion contest Saturday night. In Brampton the Excelsiors lost Peterborough Petes in a close 10-9 tussle, The Taronto team took a 3-2 lead in the opener and it to 6-5 at the halfway mark. It was midway through the third quar- ter before St. Catharines drew even. The Athletics made it 87 by the end of the period and drew away in the last. Jim McNulty, fed passes con- stantly by team-mates, scored six goals for West Yorks, Teatro got two and Vicon and Webster had one. For St. Catharines McMahon netted five while Melville, Nelson and Bradshaw got two and Doug Smith, Ukrynuk, Pat Smith and Oneschuk snipped singles. Pat Depippo of Yorks tipped the ball into his own net while attempting to clear for Athletics' 14th goal, High scorer for the winning Peter- borough team was Don Ashbee who netted three goals and paced the team to a 5-3 lead by half- time which they extended to 8-7 by the end of the third. Harry Wiper and Rusty Slater got two each for the Petes while Al Garbutt, practically a one-man both | team, scored four for the Exceil- siors, Offered Pirate Contract Ted O'Connor, the slugging second-sacker with the Oshawa Junior Trans- porters baseball club, and captain of the team, has just returned from the Pittsburgh Pirates school at Welland, Ontario. Ted looked so well in the three-day clinic that he was offered a $500 bonus on top of a nice contract if he'd sign with the Bucs next spring, Boston Red Sox Widen Margin With Split "Against Browns Pale Hose Lose Two; Games To A's -- Yanks Divide With Detroit -- Brooks Drop Two To Reds. Ned Garver . . .Bob Hooper. , . Sam Zoldak. . .Conrado Marrero. .. Murry Dickson. . .Dutch Leonard. . all fine pitcherg, but unfortunately they all toil for second -division clubs. There are many observers who rate Garver the best pitcher in the American League. The 25-year-old righthander has won 12 games for the cellar - dwelling St. Louis Browns. He might now be push- ing 20 with a first division outfit. Garver doesn't pick his spots either, as seven of his even dozen triumphs have been against the contenders. He whipped the league- leading Red Sox with five hits 3-1 yesterday in the opener of a double- header. The Sox won the nightcap 9-5 to widen their lead to two games over Chicago White Sox, who lost Wo Philadelphia Athletics 3-1 and HOOPER BEST'S SOX Hooper, 29 -year -old righthander, mastered the White Sox for the third time this season, and Zoldak yielded only one hit, a third -inning single by Chico Carrasquel. Hooper won his own game with a three-run homer. Zoldak faced only 28 men. He walked one and struck out one. Chicago's one bright spot was the fielding of Carrasquel. Chico set a league record for errorless chances accepted at shortstop at 289 in 51 games. The old mark of 288 was held by New York's Phil Rizzuto. Marrero, diminutive Cuban right- hander, won his ninth game for Washington as the sixth -place Sen- ators split with Cleveland. After Marrero won the opener 7-4, the Indians took the second game be- hind Mike Garcia, 7-2. The Yankees divided a pair in Detroit to move up withing three- tenths of a percentage point of the second-place White Sox. After Fred Hutchinson pitched the Tigers to a 53 victory, the Yankees eked out an 8-7 nightcap win. Vic Wertz, who homered in the second game, won the opener with a two -run triple in the first off Bob Kuzava. BROOKS LOSE TWO Brooklyn's National league-lead- ing Dodgers lost both ends of a doubleheader to Cincinnati 5-2 and 6-5. But their lead was shaved only one game, to eight, as both St. Louis Cards and New York Giants divided in twin bills. Dickson, Pittskurgh's little right- hander, held the Giants hitless in four relief innings to register his 11th win as the last -place Pirates won the first game 7-6 in 12 inn- ings. The Giants took the second game 8-3 as Jim Hearn hurled his eighth victory. Philadelphia's Phils whipped the Cards 614 after St. Louis won the opener, 7-4. Stan Musial paced St. Louis to its first game win with his 17th and 18th homers. After Warren Spahn blanked Chi- cago 7-0 the Cubs came back to whip Boston Braves, 10-4. Leo- nard registered his seventh win in relief for the Cubs as Hank Sauer blasted his fifth homer in six days. The shutout was Spahn's fifth of his nine wins. ied Ads are sure to pay. Detroit Boat Club Scores Easy Win Detroit (AP) -- The Detroit Boat Club stroked its way to six first places, including the featured senior heavy eights event, to win the senior day trophy in the central states amateur rowing regatta Sunday. 4 4 Detroit ran up 101 points on the regatta's second day to leave en- tries from Toronto and Hamilton far behind. The Ecorse Boat Club, defending champion, was second with 641% points. Toronto Don Rowing Club had 60, Toronto Argonauts, 24, Wyandotte, Mich., 11, Lincoln Park Boat Club of Chicago 10 and the Central Rowing Club of St. Louis 1. Toronto Dons took two first. Bob Middleton of Toronto Don won the 145 1b single sculls and Cliff Boston and Reggie Dubiel took the senior heavy doubles. The Detroit Boat Club, the old- est Frogs gg in North America, easily won the junior cham - ship Saturday, i Citation Tops Million Mark; Not Through Yet Inglewood, Calif. (AP)-- Citation is the first million-dollar winner in race history, but the big news to- day is that he isn't through. Best by injuries through part of his career, looking like just a so so horse earlier this season, big Cy hit the peak Saturday when he ran away from the field in the $100,000 Hollywood Gold Cup to win by four engths 1 . It boosted the six-year-old's life- time earnings to $1,085,760. It was the biggest purse of his career, an even $100,000 which Hollywood park guarantees the winner of its big- gest event, He also won the $100,000 Kent- ucky Derby as a three-year-old, but the winner's net was $91,870. Trainer Jimmy Jones, almost too happy to talk after the 'smashing Weinmph, managed to get this much out: "I guess I can probably say in all truth that this day has provided the greatest thrill of my life. He (meaning Citation) seems to be his old self again. We don't plan to re- tire him immediately as it would seem very foolish when he's at his present peak condition." Jones added that Citation may run in the Hollywood park windup next Saturday, the $50,000 Sunset Handicap, "and probably once in Chicago and then in the Jockey Club Gold Cup in New York." After that, to the Calumet farm in November or December to pre- pare for the 1952 breeding season. A crowd of 50,625, seemingly all for Citation, turned out Saturday to watch the 12th running of the Gold Cup. Citation's stablemate, the, mare Bewitch, came up for second by a nose over Be Fleet. Ciatation's success in becoming a millionaire took an edge off an- ,| other fine performance. Bewitch's $20,008 for second made her the biggest money winner among fe- minine race horses, with $462,605 against the $445,535 for Gallorette, the previous record holder. Citation Leads All-Time Record Money Winners Inglewood, Calif. (AP) -- Cita- tion's victory in the $100,000 Gold Cup Saturday, and Bewitch's se- cond, leaves the leading money winning horses of all time bracket- ed this way.

"Some of the boys just don't seem to be giving it all they've got. Sure we're in first place, but we're only four games ahead of North Toronto Bruins, and after the way they treated Peter Pans this afternoon, I figure they're really going to be tough." Peter Pans were given a 14-5 going over by the Bruins. Alex Stremicki, their slugging catch- er-outfielder bashed two home runs. One of them was the longest seen at Eglinton Park in some years. - We remarked about that four-point game the locals have tonight with Stanton Fuels at the Stadium. Snow replied, "That will be it. We've got to get going . . . with the play-offs coming, we've got to hit our stride again, or fall flat on our faces." He was probably thinking that a four-point win would quell the fast - approaching Bruins, That a loss in that same contest tonight (this Dave Rennicks is no slouch of a pitcher) three-game lead' 'when the Transporters move against the Bruins on Wednesday night in Toronto . . .,& not too pleasant thought! . A more pleasant thought is the way Captain Ted O'Con- nor of the Transporters made the scouts sit up and take no- ice when he stepped to the plate at the Welland, Ontario, school of the Pittsburgh Pirates. Ted was at the school of Tues- day, Wednesday and Thurs- day of last week, and was of- fered a fair-gized bonus and contract t sl pro at the con- clusion of the festivities, His first comments on the school, were the emphasis that the pro scouts laid on hitting and speed in base-running. "Oke" was given four swings at the ball the first day . . . the same as all the rest of the try- outs, and he teed-off on two of the pitches for homers. In the base-running speed contests, Ted was adjudged fourth fastest at the school and this made him rise a bit high- er in the eyes of the scouts. "They watch the way you. go after a ball . . . whether your head is up . . . your eyes on the ball. They watch your stride . .. your stance," said Ted. "They really look you over." They must have liked what they saw for the bonus offered would mean a slim . of the visitors . . . and vice versa. Rather looks as if that meme bership figure that Cec Dodwell announced as around 200 last week, will bounce more than somewhat within the next few days. Bill McTavish got a rough Jide from the fans and the en- emy batters in his first start in some weeks with the Trane- porters last Sunday. He has been throwing down in Flint, but not getting any real com- petition . . . and the result was particularly noticeable when the base-runners were able to get a lead-off on him. Time was when his motion was down fine enough that a catcher could nab a stealer by some five feet. With Frank Hooper's arm, it was often four strides. Bill answered our query on the whereabouts of George Tie- cony in a partial manner too. The former Merchants' catcher isn't tossing for the Class "A" Central league cellar-dwellers in Flint. Evidently the propos- ed deal that was to bring him up a step in the pro ladder didn't come off. Very nice to see the way Jack Jeffs continues to pound the ball for the Transporters. The rookie outfielder now has 14 hits in 34 tries for a fat 411 average to lead the team at the plate. Yesterday against Sil. verts he clipped out three safe- ties in four tries to keep intact his current hitting streak that extends over the past seven games. Orchids to the guy! + + « By Bob Rife.
