YY pace Ten w» y THE DAILY TIMES.GAZETTE 'THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1951 Kinsmen Stadium Packed for Minor Softball Benefit Show By Geo. H. Canrsurr -- GPORT SNAPSHOT {2 The King and His Court came and conquered. Last year when Oshawa Pedlars hung a defeat on Ed. Feigner and his mates, the 4-man team declared that next year they'd get even. "Mike" Meilicki re- marked on that again last night after the game--when he said, "Well, we got a couple of runs right on the jump and besides we were laying for your boys this time." Meilicki also pointed out that Feigner was "hot" here last night, in fact he stated that this was the best game The King has pitched in the last eight days. It was a splendid softball show and a crowd of 2,180 cash customers were on hand--plus a few special passes. The event netted about $500.000 for Oshawa's minor softball promotion and in addition to the customers, who got into the spirit of the game and helped make it a real show, special thanks are due to all the officers of the Stadium Commission, ticket sellers, the officers of the Oshawa Minor Softball Association and Oshawa City & District Softball Association and the three umpires--every one of whom gave his services gratis for this benefit event. "King of Softball" Ed. Feigner lived up to all predictions and his exhibition display of various deliveries and his uncanny control from 2nd base, outfield, while blind- folded, throwing from behind his back, and his SPEED pitch, all made it top entertainment for the fans and they went home well satisfied. * * * London Majors defeated Brantford Red Sox 1-0 in a thriller- diller up in London last night. If they're getting the same rain today as we're getting here, it's unlikely that the 7th game will be played tonight in Brantford as intended. This will give the London team a break and theyll have their ace Slack ready for the de- ciding game tomorrow nigh. Don't know whether thi: rain has upset the plans but it was intended for Oshawa and Brantford to open their series tonight, if the Red Sox had won out last night. If they were playing the 7th tonight, they were going to open the series here in Oshawa on Saturday--if Brantford had won. Club President John Harris, togetl with Manag Mike Mellis and Charlie Walsh took in the game last night at London and will prob- ably be on hand for the 7th game also. In the meantime, arrange- ments with Lond d of Brantford may now be necessary but it is still fully expected that Oshawa Merchants will be playing the Inter-County champions in their OBA playoff series, here in Oshawa af the Stadium on Saturday night. * + * BRIGHT BITS -- It looks very much as if the Oshawa Transporters will not be opening their series with Moss Park Juniors of Toronto, here at the Stadium tonight, If it's still raining at noon, we'd estimate that the diamond will be definitely too wet for a game tonight , , . They might play here on Saturday afernoon or perhaps Transporters will use Monday night for their home .game with Moss Park . . . Tomorrow night at the Stadium, Peterborough and Oshawa will meet in a Bantam OBA playoff game. Oshawa Legion Bantams are ready for this big test with their Liftlock City opponents. This game is under the lights tomorrow might at 8.15 o'clock but it's the second game of a doubleheader. At 6.15 tomorrow night, at the Stadium, Rexalls and Coca Colas will be playing one of their own local league championship final games , . . Oshawa UAWA Tigers play Toronto Juvenile "A" cham- pions in an OASA playoff game at Alexandra Park tomorrow evening, at 6.15 with Tigers playing back in Toronto on Saturday afternoon . . . Pickering was scheduled to play in Hastings tonight but that game may be rained out . . . Duplates go to Kingston tomorrow might . . . The ladies' tournament at the loca: 1awn bowling club, an annual event for The Bradley Trophy, has been postponed of course . . . Bathe Park Bantams were ousted from OASA playdowns last night in Toronto when they lost a heart-breaking 7-5 decision to i-e Parkdale Lions. Oshawa 'lads were leading 5-4 going into the 8th inning and then lost out.

He and his four-man Court de- feated Oshawa Pedlars, the 1950 All-Ontario Senior "B" Champions !by a 4-2 score at Civic Stadium | last night before the biggest soft- | ball crowd of the season. Last sea- | son Pedlars handed the Court one | of their rare defeats. The game itself was a seven- | inning affair in which Feigner al- lowed three hits for two runs, | walked one batter and fanned 16 patters. That's 16 out of a possible 21. Some average! BAGNELL GOOD Norm Bagnell;, who got out of a | sickbed to take part in the first | few innings of the game, gave a | good account of himself for Osh- | awa. He allowed two runs on three | hits, walked none and fanned | three. Mel Meulemeester who took | over the chore in the fourth and | finished out the game, was nicked | for two runs on one hit. He walked | one and struckout six batters. | Feigner was the lead-off batter | for his crew, and planted a double | into short right field. Mike Mei- | licke, the shortstop-outfielder . fol- | lowed that with a single to score | the first run of the game. | Meilicke made second on the play to the plate on Feigner. From | ' wild pitch and scored on a passed ball. Bagnell came through in regu- | lar style from that point on, fanning the next three batters in- -a-row to end the rally. He look- ed like the hurler that Feigner and his Court rate as "one of the best orthodox pitchers we've ever come up against." Sam Stark placed himself flat- | {first frame.

(AP)--TIt will | be back to the salt mines for Su- | gar Ray Robinson today as the ex- | champion resumes heavy training for his middleweight title bout with Randy Turpin Wednesday night. A full schedule of sparring, mean- | ing at least five rounds, is on Su- | gar Ray's schedule for the day fol- | | lowing a comparative rest yesterday when he boxed only two rather pattycake rounds with Terry Mocre | for the benefit of visiting reporters, | His performance was greeted with | mixed reactions by the crew of ex- | perts assembled in the bleachers | surrounding the outdoor ring. | "'He's fast with his hands on at- | tack but slow with them on de- | fense," one cbserver noted as Ro- binson left himself wide cpen after missing a hook. ""He looks the same as he al- ways did," said Jake Lamotta, from whom Robinson removed the crown. "You can't tell much in two rounds. | After four or five rounds, when they | throw in a fresh man against him, | you can tell what shape te's in." | "I think he'll beat Turpin, but | wouldn't say he'll win by a knock- | out," said Rocky Graziano, a, form- er middleweight champion himself. | "Turpin's tough, and what he lacks | in experience he makes up in stam- ina and aggressiveness. "Robinson will knock him stiff," | sparring-partner Moore declared | emphatically. | Robinson appeared snappy ahd in | high spirits. He wag throwing many combinations, and putting some | steam in his punches. He was get- i ting set to punch, digging in with his feet instead of flitting around on his toes. : The challenger expects to reah peak condition this week-end, and to hold it with a light workout Monday. a na 1: -- HUNDREDS OF NEW IMPORTED WOOLLENS TO Let new S.EACLESON'S your own personal measurements, us tailor your fall clothes to Boston |S | Boston * OVER 2,000 SEE SOFTBALL SHOW...

Came the bottom of that inning and they tied the game. With one ou., Stark peuc¢ cut an infield grounder. He advanced to second on a wild pitch and claimed third on a passed ball. Weatherup obtained a walk and stole second to put men on second and third with one out. It was about that time that Ed Feigner toss to third to try catching Stark off-base. The throw was good, but Meilicke, not Stark, was caught napping. The ball went into the crowd and Stark scored to make it a 2-2 tie.
