4 THURSDAY, JULY 19, 1951 THE DAILY T IMES-GAZETTE PAGE FIFTEEN TRANSPORTERS TIGHTEN GRIP ON FIRST PLACE Oshawans Turn Back Y-E Motors With Seven-Run Seven-Hit Attack Backed By Skiltfull Pitching Jack Durstan Hurls No. 7 For "Transporters -- Rookie Replacement Bob Hill Sets Batting Pace For Locals -- "One-Hit" Verner Bea- ten -- Silverts Here To- night. By BOB RIFE Oshawa Transporters tightened their grasp on the North Toronto Baseball Association Junior League t with an 8-2 win over linen Motors at Eglinton last ht. Po by Til io first-sacker, the Transporters pasted Lefty Bob Ver- ner for seven hits and seven runs. Bob Hill was up for his first game as a junior, replacing Brian McAl- lister, out on the sick-list. He crack- ed out three singles in three at-bats and drove in two runs for an im- pressive showing. DURSTON'S 7TH WIN Jack Durston was on the hill for Oshawa, to make it a battle of left- handers, The only trouble was that Durston didn't make it too much of a struggle, limiting the enemy to' four scattered hits for two runs, He fanned seven batters and walked five. Verner struckout seven and walked six . . . but his mates committed six errors behind him, and this led to five of Oshawa's eight tallies. The earned-run score was 3-1 for the Transporters. Oshawa struck for two runs in the top of the second when Jake Hastings begged a base on balls and stole second. Lou Jankowski slapped one down to third, whjch was bob- bled, to put runners gon first and third. Lou stole second, and Verner loaded 'em up when he hit Bob Hill with a pitched ball. Durston struckout, but Coggins walked to score the first run. Ver- ner continued his wild streak and walked John Jozkoski to push over the second run for the locals. He then fanned Hooper and forced O'Connor to pop out and end the inning. JAKE STARTS IT With, one away in the top of the third, Hastings got another base on balls. He again stole second and then made third when Jankowski grounded out short-to-first. Bob Hill clipped a grass-cutter past first to score the third Osha- 'wa run of the game, They needed fhat run, for in the last of the inning, with two on and one out, Bill Gillis plastered a double into left field. It scored one run. The other came home on Ken Aker's drill shot through the mound. Oshawa led by a scant one run. . NTBA JR.

Norman threw a very neat six- hitter at the losers and but for some trouble with base-stealers, he might have come out of the fray even less scarred. Lodge stdrted on the hill for the losers, but was replaced by Wallace in the fourth when the going got a little rough. Oshawa Wholesale scored four in the second, two in the third and, six in the fourth for their total. Duplate got one in the fourth and three in the fifth. Proctor, Norman and Germond hit homers for the winners. Shaw with a triple led the losers at the drive at third-sacker John Jozkoski. | dish. "Crabby" got on base in the next frame to continue his good work. An errored drive at short accomplished the job. He stole second and from that point made the plate when Hooper's chop shot into left-centre bounded over that fielder's head for a triple. . Ted O'Connor stepped to the platter and laid down as nice a squeeze bunt as you'd wish to see. It scored Hooper to make the score 5-2, and took all the sting out of the Y-E Motors attack. TERRIFIC CATCH Ted also kept up the good work, with a terrific running catch be- hind second-base for the third out in the last of the fourth. Oshawa added a singleton in the fifth when Hastings doubled down the first-base line and made third on Hill's hot blast off the pitcher's glove into left field. Durston got to first on a sacrifice error to score Hastings. Brian Coggins walked to load the bases, but Verner got back in stride and obtained the outs to end the rally. He got in trouble in the top of the sixth when Jeffs made first on an error, A walk to Jankowski mov- ed Jeffs to second where he scored on Hill's third safety, a single to centre. That made the score 7-2. Oshawa's last run was scored by Coggins when he singled, made second on Jozkoski's one-base drive, moved to third on a fielder's choice play that nipped "Crabby" and then scored after Ted O'Connor's long smash into right had been caught. The game was called on ac- count of darkness at the end of the seventh, RHE OSHAWA 021 211 1-8 9 2 TORONTO 002 000 0--2 4 6 OSHAWA TRANSPORTERS Coggins, ss; J.

Prizes Worth $1500 In Kawartha Meet Peterborough (CP) -- Prizes worth $1500 will be at stake this year in-the annual Kawartha lakes 54-hole amateur golf tournament Aug. 4-5-6 -- the civic holiday week end. Officials call this year's sixth annual event Canada's "largest and richest amateur golf tourna- ment." Competitors will be divided into three classes with equal number of prizes for each. Moe Norman of Kitchener won the 1950 event and Phil Farley of Toronto was runner-up LAST HOME GAME... Brooklin Tops Alliston by Odd Goal In Rough One Scoring eight goals in little more than five minutes, late in the sec- ond period, Brooklin pulled ahead, to lead, throughout the rest of the game as they defeated the Alliston Athletics, 15-14, in a rough lacrosse tilt in Brookiin last' night. This last home game of the sea- son, gave 'the local fans plenty of excitement, For as the game pro- gressed, tempers mounted on both sides and the last half of the bout took on the appearance of a free- for-all rather than a lacrosse match. Fights broke out several times between individual players and in the final period a Hey Rube developed with nearly all players participating. Referees Jim Davidson and Sam Milne were kept busy, as they handed out a total of 83 minutes of penalties. Bill Vipond received a ten minute misconduct while D. Mitchell also of Brooklin received two five minute penalties as did Murray McKenzie of Alliston. B. Gray, B. Mitchell and A. Mackey also received five minute miscon« ducts. There were 19 minor pen- alties also handed out. Brooklin started the scoring early in the game but Alliston soon tied it up. Throughout the rest of the period the score see-sawed one way or the other no team gaining more than a one goal lead. The play was very well divided during this stanza and Brooklin showed a marked improvement in their style of playing as they checked each man well and used more passing plays instead of their score-by- yourself tactics of previous games. The end of this period saw the score tied three all. 'Things looked dark for Brooklin at the start of the second quarter as Alliston, on the attack, rackedfinal quarter but an Aliston drive up goal after goal to gain a lead of seven. With little more than five minutes remaining in this period, Harold Gwyn intercepted the ball and carried it from end-to- end to start a Brooklin offensive which continued until half time when the Briusers had come from behind to lead 11-10, ~ The game took on a rougher as- pect in the third quarter as penal- ties for roughing and slashing were handed out to both sides. During this stanza each team increased their count by two, Brooklin increased their lead with another counter early in the Petes Strengthen Grip Atop Loop Peterboro Petés pounced on last- place Fergus Thistles Wednesday night as a mean of strengthening their hold on first place in the seven - team Ontario Lacrosse As- sociation senior league. The Petes beat Fergus 134 and the victory extended their lead over idle St. Catharines to four points. Third - place Hamilton Tigers also lost ground on the leaders, taking a 10 -6 beating from Mimico Mountaineers at the Drummond bowl in Mimico. Ken Dixon scored four goals to lead the Mounties. In a third league game, at Brampton, the Excelsiors came throught with a four - goal rally: in the last period to' eke out an 11-10 win over Toronto West Yorks. The win extended Bramp- ton's fifth - place margin over To- ronto to four points. soon tied it up. This was short lived though as Brooklin came through with the breaker a minute later. The final minutes of the game saw one scrap after another and theéugh Brooklin was two men short at one time the Athletics could not utilize this advantage to retaliate for their loss. Harold Gwyn lead the Brooklin scoring with five counters while Gord Cook and Hugh Ormiston each scored the hat trick. A. Kiv- ell, L. Kivell, T. Lintner and A. Mackey scored a goal apiece for the winnerss Don Mitchell though he did not score gave assists on four goals. Marray McKenzie topped for the Athletics with four goals while Gray, Purchase, Briggs and O. Whalen each scored a pair. A. Whalen and Tyres counted one a- piece. A Brooklin player came through this bout with a broken hand, Had the "Referees" tightened up on the rough playing earlier in the game, the resulting show might have been eliminated. But as the O. L. A. are short of referees and until a great- er supply is available circumstances like these will have to be tolerated. BROOKLIN: Goal--Bradley, de- fence, W. Vipond, B. Mitchell, cen- tre, L.

EXC Swi RINGSIDE PICTURES OF THE BIGGEST UPSET IN PINTER 1 (01:3 Se Flown from England for this EXCLUSIVE SHOWING! TS "STARTS TODAY SHOWN DAILY AT 3:15 - 5:20 7:25 - 9:35 RAPID ROBERTS REVIEW ON SPORT Two pair of eyebrows raised momentarily when Coach Snowball Willson made the an- nouncement that he was start- ing his prize lefthander, Jack Durston, against Yonge-Eglin- ton Motors last night. 'fhe Transporter bossman read the minds behind the lift- ed brows .. . "I know it isn't his turn to throw, but from this point on, there aren't going to be any 'turns', we're going all out to win." : And that was just what Dur- ston did . . . he threw a nifty four-hitter for an 8-2 win to bring his total to seven wins, one loss and one tie . . . tops on the team. Speaking cf tops on the team, a rookie named Bob Hill, up from the UAW Juvenile crew was tops on the club last night against Yonge-Eglinton. He set the pace with three hits in three trips and did a fair field- ing job at first base, replacing Brian McAllister. The lanky blond - headed youngster stood on the left- side on the dish and made life miserable for southpaw Bob- "One-Hit" Verner. He wasn't bashing the . ball, just spraying singles all over the infield. To say that Coach Willson was pleased with his showing would be putting things a little on the mild side. vs The Transporters are at home for the next couple of games and don't venture on the road until a week from today. At that time they meet the third- place Peter Pan Cleaners in To- ronto, . Tonight the locals play at home to New Toronto Silverts in a re-play of a postponed fix- ture scheduled earlier in the season. Then on Monday night, they play Peter Pans at the Stadium in what should be a thriller-type-diller. Tonight's game will see the Silverts try for another win. Sound odd? Well, just last Sunday afternoon in Toronto, that team scalped the locals by 7-6 score . . . with Oshawa using McTavish and Mroczek on the mound. Ken Ramsey, one of those ef- ficient type curve-ball, fast-ball pitchers, was the winner on Sunday, and with sufficient time having elapsed between CRA SOFTBALL PEE WEE BOYS AND GIRLS BANTAM GIRLS -- MIDGET GIRLS CONNAUGHT PARK PEE WEES TRIUMPH OVER SIMCOE HALL Connaught Park pee wee boys softball club handed out a 21-2 defeat to Simcoe Hall at Cowan's Park last night in a scheduled CRA minor league tilt. Whiteley was the winning pitcher. He allowed the two enemy runs in the bottom of the fourth and except for that frame, pitched a very steady game. Bialek tossed for the losers and gave up four runs in the first, nine in the second, seven In the third and one in the fourth for the winner's total.

That's what Yonge-Eglinton Motors tried with Bob Verner last night. They found, much to their dismay, that Oshawa had solved his hurling in the interim. Wonder if the same will be true tonight. Silverts have an- other chucker in the person of Bill Kay. He's their old reliable. If anything happens to Ramsey, we'll see Kay. For that matter, we might even see Kay to begin with. Confusin', wot? Vv CHECKLETS -- Down in Belleville the other night, man- ager Mike Mellis pitched a three-hit win tor the Merchants over the Redmen. More im- portant in a trivial sort of way was the fact that he scored a shutout win. As you may or may not know, the Kingsway Lunch has a standing offer of a banana split to any member of the Merchants wlio slugs a homer or wins via the shut-out route. Plug, plug. Speaking of plugs, we man- aged through use of an electric adding machine to total the Oshawa Transporters club bat- ting average for their past 21 games. Thav doesn't include last night's tilt with Yonge-Eg- linton Motors. The average works out to a fair .265. The flu bug still had a laig holt on Brian McAllister and he was unable to make last night's game in Toronto, how- ever he is expected out for to- night's tussle with New Toronto Silverts at the Stadium. Man here says that Brian Kerr, centre-fielder for the St. Catharines Stags who lost to the Merchants in an exhibition tilt at the Stadium on Saturday ' night, is a one-time big leaguer. Played with Brooklyn Dodg- ers, the pace-setters in the Na- tional League at the present time . . . back about 1947. The catcher for Peter Pans, Stan Sheldon, is still hanging around Eglinton Park. It's quite possible that he won't be turning out for a pro club until next spring, and that he'll re- main with the Pans until the end of the current joy-ride. + + + by Bob Rife. Albert Street Earns Win Over Saints Albert Street handed out a 5-3 setback to Latter Day Saints in a scheduled Inter-Church League Softball game played at the north diamond of Alexandra Park last night. Bircham was the winning pitcher for Albert Street, allowing single runs in the second, fourth and sev- enth innings. The losing hurler allowed single- tons in the third, fourth fifth and two in the sixth. Dalgleish topped the losers at the plate, while Alpert Street's best bat- ter was Johns.

Rundle Park got a run in the first inning and another in the second frame but in the meantime Brooklin had scored a pair .in each of these two frames. Brooklin got another couple, by Gibson and D. Vipond in the third inning, to lead 6-2 but Rundle Park got to Heron in the 4th inning and staged a 7-run rally that put them out in front. Brooklin' came right back in their half of the fourth, to score three runs and tie up the score at 9-9. It stayed at that until the 6th when Jim Brady opened the inning with a safe hit, advanced on a blow by Rahme and scored on an infield out. It proved the winning run as Rundle held Brooklin at bay in the 6th and 7th frames, retiring them in 1, 2, 3 order.

BATHE PARK BANTAMS WIN OVER SUNNYSIDE PARKERS In a Kiwanis Softball League bantam game at Sunnyside Park last night, the visiting Bathe Park team chalked up an 11-8 tfiumph to move up into serious contention for honors in the league race. Bathe got a run in the second and then added to their total in every frame except the 5th. A three-run rally in 'the 4th was a big help but they actually won the game in the 7th inning when they came up with four runs, by King, Kocey, Chomiak and Ternawski. Sunnyside just couldnt do 'a thing with McMahon's good pitch- ing and his support, for the first five innings but they threatened in the 5th and then broke lose in the '6th inning to' score six runs and make the count 7-6.

Wallop Parts and Service 12-3 In a City and District Major League softball game at Alexandra Park last night, Lions Club Juniors walloped Parts & Service 12-3. Bill Berwick's double in the first frame together with an outfield er- ror and a double by DePratto in .|the 3rd after Harry Sinden had walked, gave the Lions am early lead of 3-0 but it was still a keen softball battle until the 6th inn- ing. In that frame, Hruska, on the mound for Parts, weakened badly, Piontek singled and so did Booth. Myles forced Booth but DeGray was safe on Hruska's own error then a single by Jones, with iwo jout, plus a wild pitch, gave Lions three more runs and a 6-0 lead. Parts and Service clicked for two runs in the 6th when Maxie Rock- ert and Burt both drew walks, then McCabe singled. Randalls. hit a force, but Trott walked and an out- field fly by Valentine scored Mec- Cabe with the second run. Batten walked in the 7th and scored on Rockert's single and an outfield fly by Burt, for the losers' final tally. Lions went on with their scoring to get a pair in the 7th and three! shattered when Bathe came back with the four runs in the 7th but even then the Sunnyside lads didn't quit trying and they pushed across a pair in the Tth before the' 3rd out, to make it interesting enough.
