G.M. Truck Line team captured the UAWA Picnic sotfball tourna- ment on Saturday, a mammoth affair that saw 17 teams competing for the honors, witis Truck Line winning the final game over Du- plate 3-2, in an exciting rhubarb produced by the tense situation that existed at the time. Truck Line scored two runs in the 7th (final inning) to take a 3-2 lead after trailing Duplate, who had Jack McConkey on the mound, right, ij. the final sprint." In their th, (8 two men out, Bud Morey singled for Duplate and stole 2nd with the would-be tying run. He moved to 3rd while an um- pire's decision at the plate on a pitched ball was being disputed and was ordered back to 2nd, as the plate official stated he had call- ed "time" when the argument start- ed. Duplate management insisted that time had not been called and that their runner was entitled to 3rd base, It ended up with the Duplate management withdrawing their team from the field--so offi- cially the game was over as a de- fault 9-0--but the winner was still the same. Before the blow-up came in the last of the 7th, Duplates had scored a run in the 2nd when Morey' opened with a triple and scored on R. Spencer's single. A couple of force-out. plays followed which cut off Duplate at the one run for that inning. In the 5th, Weatherup was safe on an outfield error and scored later on a single by J. Spencer, and infield out and single by B. Morey. Duplates had runners in scoring position in the 4th and 6th frames also but couldn't click for the extra hit needed. Jack McConkey held the Truck Line to a single in each of the first four frames, Rope hitting a double to open the 4th and scoring on a passed ball and infield out. Truck Line was trailing 2-1 go- ing into their half of the 7th when Bragg opened with a walk and Barnes singled. Parson flied out but Myles came through with a single to score both of his mates, making the count 3-2. Bud Morey singled in the last of the 7th with two out and stole sec- ond to put the tying run in posi- tion, when the flare took place.

Y, (CP)-- The Class C Border Baseball League apparently has folded -- at least for this season. Directors of the 'six-team Can- adian-American League voted un- animously Saturday against a mer- ger with four clubs from the bor- der loop. That decision and the failure of Border League representatives to attend the meeting apparently matks the end of Border League play, for this season at least. The Can - Am directors passed a resolution opposing the merger and also voted not to transfer any league franchise from the cities now holding them to new locations. After a meeting of border dir-' 'ectors Thursday night, a state- ment was issued saying & merger would be discussed. It said the si- tuation had been taken up with George Trautman, head of the Na- tional Association of Professional Baseball Leagues (the minors) and Can-Am President Albert Hough- ton. Trautman and Houghton, the sta- tement said, had agreed "the mat- ter should be discussed and an at- tempt made to accomplish a union" Houghton said Trautman had te- lephoned him that Border League President John G. Ward and May- or Ralph J. Morissettee of Ogdens- burg, N. Y., had requested reconsi- deration of the proposal for a 10- team circuit, which was rejected by the Can-Am circuit when first proposed recently, The former six - team border league has been reduced to two clubs -- Ogdensburg Maples and Kingston, Ont., Ponies. They had been expected to fold Thursday night. Quebec Cricketers Outscore Ontario Toronto (CP) -- A Quebec team beat Ontario in an interprovincial cricket match during the weekend to retain the Atholstan cup for the third straight year. Jimmy Cameron, who played for Toronto Yorkshire last year, almost won the game single-hand- ed. His 121 total marked one of the few occasions a century has been scored since the interprovin- cial matches started. Cameron, a McGill University student who Oshawa City In Scoreless Tie With 7000 Club Oshawa City and 7,000 Club bat- tled for ninety minutes at Lake- view Park, Saturday afternoon in a T & D Major League game but when the final whistle blew both goals were still intact, neither side having scored. Defenses were definitely on top and it was seldom that the for- wards got within striking distance of goal. Late in the first half T. Kelly and Rawlins did manage to penetrate the Toronto defense. The ball was slipped out to Honeyman but the wingers' shot skimmed over the crossbar. A few minutes later Rawlins let go with a powerful drive from centre field but his shot cannoned off the upright. Of the two sets of forwards the visitors were by far the livelier lot, their left winger in particular showing up well ii mid field but on approaching the Oshawa goal area he met his match in Johnnie Kelly Oshawa,s right full back who was playing on top of form. Oshawa as usual put on the pres- sure in the last ten minutes of play and it looked like they would get the all-important geal when Terry Kelly. broke loose on his own, and went thundering goalwards, Cook, the Torontonian goaltender came charging out to meet him and both players collided, Kelly getting the worst of the encounter had to be removed to hospital to have a nasty gash in his forehead attended to. Honors went to the back and half backs. Posodski and J. Kelly were outstanding for Oshawa. Po- sozski was the stumbling block on which "most of 7,000 Club's attacks fizzled out. SCISSORED SPORT By The Canadian Press TOP RACE OUT Two of Canada's top, middle-dis- tance runners -- one a veteran, the other just out of junior ranks -- game together again Saturday but their big race in the Eastern Canada track and field champion- ships at Toronto didn't come off. Valdo Lillakas, 29-year-old Est- onlan who runs for the Montreal track and field, was scheduled to compete against sensational 20- year-old Rich Ferguson of Toronto in a three-mile race. But Lillakas decided to pass up the match after taking heavy pun- ishment from the heat and a six- mile morning race which he won in récord time of 31 minutes, 16,7 seconds. The three - mile race was run without him and Ferguson won easily, although his time of 15.22:3 wasn't close to the Cnadian three- mile mark. Toronto representatives won eight events against five for Mont- real and two for Hamilton, 'LPL' ARTHUR SIGNED Arthur King, British Empire lightweight champion from Toron- to was signed Saturday to meet Jay Watkins of Flint, Mich., in a 10-round bout at Atwood Stadium in Flint, July 27. It will be Flint's first outdoor fight since Willie Pep and Luther Burgess met there in 1948. +FURGOL WINS WESTERN Marty Furgol won the western open golf tournament Sunday with a 65 for a T72-hole total of 270. Cary Middlecoff, former Memphis dentist, was second with 271. WOMEN WIN Babe Zaharias and company, now touring England, showed British men golfers -- including four Walk- er cup players, how it is done. The women, playing the British Jen on even terms, won by 6% plays for Verdun, was also out- standing at bowling and took six Ontario wickets for 24 runs. When the first innings ended Sa- turday, Quebec head a lead of 119. e only 122 in their se-. cond chance at bat and Quebec soon overcame the four run de- ficit to declare early in the day. Seven Ontario batsmen reached double figures with Alan Gerrard's second -inning 62 being best. Best bowling for Ontario was done by George MacLean with six for 72 and Alf Pope with two for 70. The Ontario team proved weak at bat and in the field. Strong supoort for Quebec in addi- tion to Cameron's six for 24 was given by Hal Padmore who- scored 28 runs and took four wickets for 40 runs and George Carter who got a well -played 19 and gave good support in the field. At dhe end of the first inning On- tario was out for 100 and Que- bec had kocked up 219 runs, In the second inning Ontario was all out for 122. "Quebec ended the match by declaring after four quickly -made runs brought their Joial score ahead of their oppo- nents'. Spencer score but Sennott was nip- ped at the plate on the next play.

E. dale] SHELL I] EXPERT TIRE SERVICE TIRE REPAIRS & RECAPPING Fun at Brooklin Tomorrow Night Sports Roundup | By HUGH FULLERTON JR. New York (AP) -- Something startling was bound happen when the Toronto International League baseball club was sold a week or so ago. . .The bidders were Bill Veeck, Branch Rickey and Jack Cooke, a Toronto radio man and magazine publisher. . .Cooke got the franchise for about $300,000 be- cause the former owners wanted to keep it in Canadian hands and the first thing he did was phone Veeck and tak things over .. . .So last Monday, the first game the Maple Leafs played under .new ownership, Jack gave away hot dogs and soft drinks, hired a vocal quartet to entertain the customers and polled in a crowd of 7700.. . The next night screen star Gloria DeHaven was the co-attraction with the ball players. Although one writ- er complained Gloria departed while the home team was trailing and couldn't go to her left anyway, he deplored breaking up a "win- ning combination." And some 5000 fans turned out . . .Rain quieted Cooke's activities for a few days, but he says he's going to give away nylons and washing machines and do everything he can to make women fans because "women con- trol the purse strings." MONDAY MATINEE Earl Caldwell, 46 -year -old for- mer American Leaguer, still is pitching and winning for Harlin- gen, Tex., of the Gulf Coast Lea- gue (13-2 record as of last week). Concessionaire Charlie Jacobs re- ports that sales of popcorn at ball parks have increased tremen- dously and peanut sales have drop- ped correspondingly. Would you say that's a shell of a situation? Local sport fans who want to have a few, good laughs and some light sport entertainment, can travel out to Brooklin tomorrow night and take in the "Donkey Baseball Game" being played there. They'll be helping a good cause too.

MORRISON Central Press Canadian Golf Columnist Most of the leading tournament pros are 'spot winners," which means they give their best perfor- mances on a particular type of course in certain parts of the coun- try. The performances of Sam Snead afford a good example, When Sam's bank deposits have been good they generally started with big winnings early in the sea- son, In some cases about half of of his winnings for the year were collected in January and February. Aside from his aggressiveness Snead, like all golfers, has very definite likes and dislikes in the matter of courses and playing con- ditions. When playing in a setup to his liking he has been known to outdo himself in shot making and scoring. But Sam also has played well under conditions that were mighty rough on him. Such is the capacity of a truly great golfer. Golfers generally do so much ro- mancing with themselves, dream- ing of perfect shots made under perfect playing conditions. When confronted with reality in the form of - unfavorable conditions they become sour and unable to give a performance even up to their average, Here is an antidote for such an attijude. Remember that no round, no matter how inspired, ever has been played with nothing but good breaks. Nor has one ever been played with nothing but bad breaks. Always there is a combination of both. Show patience at all times and you'll enjoy your full share of good breaks. Patience also helps to keep tension out of your mind and body. A smooth, easy swing is the re- flection of a smooth, easy mind. The ball never gets excited. STANKY TO BROWNS The Sunday edition of the New York Journal-American, in a story by sports editor Max Kase, said Saturday that Eddie Stanky, New become manager St. Browns.
