PAGE FOURTEEN THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1951 -" - By Alan Maver CHARLEY GEHRINGER HAS TAKEN OVER AS DETROIT GENERAL. MANAGER AHEAD OF SCHEDULE, BUT HE WON'T HAVE TIME TO FIGURE OUT ANY WINNING LINEUP THIS SEASONS "JOINS THE BRASS - STAND/NG STILL IN THE TALENT DEPT. 16 THE WENT FROM ZNp = GPORT SNAPSHOT By Gso. H. Camrszir QD A lot of 1951 sports history was concluded last night. First of all, up in Toronto, at F>riscourt Park (St. Clair Memorial Stadium), with- out either Ted O'Connor or Frank Hooper, the Oshawa Transporters backed a fine pitching effort by Bill McTavish with a flock of timely base-hits to win 9-3 over Milwaukee Sports in the 4th game of their TMBA championship series, to end the round 3-1 on games. That puts Oshawa Transportéts into the OBA playdowns as Toronto's Junior cham- pions--and if they watch their step, they should be able to take every- thing else in sight and end up as Ontario champions. Here at home, the Oshawa Connaught Park boys, who have played all season without losing a single game, defeated Rundle Park in the 3rd of the B'Nai B'Rith Midget League championship finals, to take the title in three- straight games. Connaught Park boys have only one more series to win-- they meet the winner of the Sarnia-Hamilton series, in the finals for the Ontario Midget softball title, which Connaught Park won last year, first time ib had ever been contested. And Oshawa Pedlars whipped Hull Volanfes 7-0 in the first game of their Eastern Ontario Senior "B" zone finals. Hull coach protested after the first pitch that 3rd baseman Sammy Stark and pitcher Normie Bagnell had to wear ball caps--the same as the rest of the Oshawa team. His point was properly taken-- but not advisedly. It made Bagnell mad and he struck out 22 batters out of a possible 27--to obtain his shutout. Extra-base hits and fast base-running won the game for Pedlars, who now go to Hull on Saturday for the second game of the series. +* * * There's not much on tap for tonight but tomorrow night at the Stadium here, Oshawa Duplates take on Toronto Evans Motors in the second game of their OASA Inter. "A" geries. Evans Motors won the Ontario title last year and with Cam Ecclestone as their hurling ace, they are picked to repeat this season. However, Du- plates have plenty of confidence and the game tomorrow night should be a sizzler. While they are in action at home tomorrow night, Oshawa Merchants will be up in Niagara Falls, playing the first game of their 4-out-of-7 OBA championship final series. The Niagara Falls Fords got only four hifs last night but they won the 7th and deciding game of their series with Welland Stokes by the narrow margin of 6-5. That has been a hectic series, with Niagara Falls winning the first three games and then having to get a majority of the breaks on errors, etc., to take the 7th game and win the series. Merchants play in Niagara Falls tomerrow night with the 2nd and 3rd games of this Ontario championship series, back here in Oshawa on Saturday afternoon and evening. This is the wind-up of the jocal senior baseball series and local ball fans are "all het up." It should be a lively affair with two big crowds on hand Saturday. + * * There's not a game scheduled for the Stadium tonight. with Pedlars away this week-end and Merchants playing away tomorrow night, the local sport fans get a "free night." However, if they want to take in something of real interest, we could suggest "Regent Theatre. They've got the big fight pictures, the Randy Turpin--Sugar Ray. Robinson A; on display there tonight and the rest of this week and reports are that seeing the movies is 'much detier-than having been at the ringside. This way you can decide for yourself wheter or not the referee was right when he called off the fight in the im round. And he was right! + * , CALLING OSHAWA MINOR HOCKEY MEN -- "Joe" Victor, Vic Burr, "Shorty" Campbell, etc., etc. "Pimmins' loss is Oshawa's gain"--that's what the Timmins Free Press stated the other day. They were referring to the fact that George E. Charron of that city had been moved to Oshawa to take over the Oshawa office as National Employment Service Director. Seems that George Char- ron has been associated as an executive officer with the Porcupine Juvenile Hockey League for the past 15 years (helped out with senior puck teams too) and it's well known in Oshawa that Sais sen has had one of the best Juvenile hockey set-ups in Can- ada, for years. After all, whe usually meets St. Catharines in the 'All-Ontario Juvenile finals? Where do the Generals usually get one or two players? Who won the All-Ontario Juvenile hockey championship last season? The answer is the same in all three cases--Porcupine! And up there they give George Charron a lot of credit for their success in the past 15 years. They gave him a "stag" and some appreciation gifts, etc., just before he left. Now there seems to be a wide-awake, hard-working hockey enthusiast who prefers to spend his time bringing along "the kids" and not only should the Oshawa Minor Hockey Association contact Mr. Charron right away and get him interested in the local set-up, but the Oshawa Generals and Oshawa Arena would do well to give him and the rest of the hard-working enthusiasts in this city who have been struggling along running minor hockey for years, a lot of real support. After all it must be coming more evident every day (Continued on Page 15) OFFICIAL Exclusive WORLD'S CHAMPIONSHIP FILMS spoke iN THE L0GES IN DOmON 0 OR REGUL OGRA! REGENT Bill McTavish Cops De- cision in Crucial Tilt -- John Jozkoski and Henry Sarnovsky Bash Out Home Runs -- -- Locals Take Series 3-1 in Games By BOB RIFE Toronto -- With a patched-up ball club that wasn't supposed to do much of anything from this point on, Oshawa Transporters marched into St. Clair Stadium, the home grounds of Milwaukee Sports, and pounded out a wild 9-3 tri- umph last night to capture the TMBA Junior City Championship. Oshawa won the series three ames to one. And for this deciding game, they were without their team captain and leading batter, Ted O'Connor, and Frank Hooper, their only regular catcher. Bill McTavish Hank Jozkoski REPLACEMENT STARS Jake Hastings was moved from the outfield into Oke's shortstop post and played a marvelous de- fensive game. Hank Jozkoski took over the catching chores, and al- though he had some troubles, he handled Bill McTavish as well or better 'than anyone this year. Bill threw a four-hitter for the win, He fanned 11, walked nine, balked twice and hit one amtter. As one of the pressbox boys put it after the game . . . "Bill's wild- ness was just enough to keep Mil- waukees unsettled. The hitters couldn't dig in and he slipped a lot of strikes by 'em." Stan Wilosh got his third start- ing assignment for Polito's team. He was rapped for four runs and nine hits before being pulled in the fifth with two out for Lefty Jake Goodfil. The latter lasted till the ninth, when the Oshawa wood started to meet leather once again. This time Joe Birebauer took over and ended the game, The three-man combo fanned six Oshawa batters and walked four, while allowing 12 hits and having six errors committed be- hind them. With two out and a man on sec- ond in the top of the second, things looked gloomy. The bottom of the Oshawa batting order was coming up and the fans held out faint hope for a run producing hit. LONG GROUNDER Henry Sarnovsky broke his wrists on an outside pitch, rapped it by the shortstop, past the left fielder on thé ground up against the wall. He pulled up at third with a triple.. The Transporters led 1-0. Hank Jozkoski dangled a high looper into left for a scratch double to bring in Sarnovsky with the 2-0 run. Tony Yonik singled, stole second and then made the plate on George Zock's single to left. in the last of the second to pull Milwaukees close at 2-1, Pasting the ball deep into right ield, and on the bounce into the stands for a ground-rule double, Brian Coggins made it look as if the top of the third might be our big inning. However Wilosh pump- ed the ball over the plate and got out of the inning without a man reaching thjrdbase. In the last of the frame, his mates rewarded his efforts with a single run for a 2-2 tie. Jerry Fitzhenry walked and then rounded the bases when Johnny Sibbick lashed out a double into deep left centre. McTavish walk- ed the next man .and hit Hastings to load the sacks. Yonik was the next batter. Bill breezed his fast one by the enemy catcher for three | strikes to end the splurge. Oshawa failed to score in their half of the fourth and Toronto pulled a trick out of the mothballs to push over the tie-breaking run in the bottom half of that inning. | OLD TRICK Roy Bergeson made first on an error. He stole second. McTavish walked the ghext two men to load gave instructions for the batter, Fitzhenry, to step out of the box when McTavish was in the midde of his motion. the sacks with one out. Polito then | Oshawa's Bench Strength Too Much For Milwaukees i Slugging 9-3 Victory The move had the desired effect. Bill pulled up in the half-stride and balked in the runner from third. - A lot of arguing got nobody any- where. No one except McTavish. He got mad, and fanned the next two batters in order to end Milwaukees' fun. He also threw shutout ball the remainder of the game, while '| allowing but one hit, John Jozkoski Henry Sarmovsky Perhaps that old chestnut worked for one run, but it didn't win the ball game as a lot of fans thought it had in the fourth inning. GET IT BACK Coggins started Oshawa on the comeback trail in the top of the fifth with a single down the third base line. He stole' second. Hastings watched three strikes, but John Jozkoski laid open the seams on the ball with a drive on the hop into the left-centre field stands. A homer to give Oshawa a 4-3 lead. Mroczek grounded out, but Mc- Allister singled into left field and that was enough to send Wilosh to the showers. Jake Goodfil came on in relief and fanned pinch- hitter Gord Neal to end the rally. McTavish whirled along in great form from that inning on. Men got on second and third with one out in the fifth, but two quick outs ended things. . Henry Sarnovsky caused a minor revolution on the Oshawa beach when he led-off in the top of the sixth with a slam-bang homer on the fly into the left-centre field stands. The blast put Oshawa in front by two runs, 5-3. It not only put them in front, but broke Milwau- kee's back. They couldn't do much of anything after that. Sarnovsky walked in the top of the eighth, was sacrificed to second, and scored when McTavish's bunt was played wildly by the pitcher. The Transporters lead was now 6-3. LAST BIG RALLY Jozkoski led-off with a walk. Nick Mroczek dug in and planted a double into right field. "Crabby" rounded third and slid in to the plate. The catcher dropped the re- lay and Oshawa led 7-3. McAllister walked and then he and Mroczek worked a double steal to put men on second and third. That was all for Goodfil. Gord Neal picked one of the reliefer Birebauer's slants and pushed it under the shortstop to score two runs. Sarnovsky got his third hit of the game seconds later, but the Oshawa Connaught Park captur- ed the 1951 championship of the B'Nai B'Rith, Midget Softball League, last night on their home diamond when they defeated Rud- dle Park 20-1, to sweep the cham- pionship final series in three- straight games, 14-0, 16-4 and 21-1. In sweeping the league cham- pionship finals in three-straight, Connaught Park Midgets, 1950 Mid- get champions of Ontario, continu- ed their sensational undefeated streak for the season. Fenton singled to open the 4th inning for Rundle Park, he ad- vanced on an infield out and scor- ed on an infield error and single by Attersley, to save Rundle Park from the whitewash brush. Connaught Park tallied three runs in the firgt innings on four walks and three hits, including a homer by Pete Anderson. The homesters scored in every inning, Oldfield leading the hitters with a 4-for-five while Nichol had three hits in five trips, two of them solid home-run blows. Knapp also Rit a homer. Thomson also had two hits and the entire Connaught Park team showed far too much power at the plate for the Rundle Pdrk squad.

The Hull squad made one big mistake--early in the game. After the first pitch they 'protésted that 3rd baseman Sammy Stark and pitcher Normie Bagnell, were not properly dressed, as they were not wearing the caps regularly worn by the other members of the Ped- la club. That proved to be Hull's big Tls- take. Stark didn't care very much but Bagnell was quite annoyed. As a result he threw three 9-straight| strikes in the first inning for three strikeouts and continued to chalk up the marvellous total of 22 strike- outs in the game--out of a possible 27. The other five putouts were all made in the Pedlar infield. NOT A MAN REACHED: 3RD The Hull team, who appeared as a smart fielding team, "hep" on the rules and full of pepper, were simp- 1y hopeless at the plate in the face of Bagnell's superh throwing. His 22 strikeouts made Hull look very ordinary--but it was all Hull's fault. They got Bagnell angry by insist- ing he wear a cap, and hide his curly locks--and he really bore down all the way. At that, Armand Gregoire apd Reg. Marcil each had a pair of Hull's meagre total of five hits. Gregoire beat out two perfect bunts which Marcil clicked on clean hits, next two batters popped out to end the splurge. Fitzhenry drilled one back to the mound to lead-off in the last of the ninth. McTavish derailed it, but Coggins played it to first for the out. Bill fanned the next batter; however a dropped third strike and a weak toss to first allowed the Sibbick to land in_safely. McTavish made no mistake. on the next man, getting him on three pitches for the second out and his 11th whiff victim. Hastings worked him for a walk to put men on first and second. In this last ditch stand, Polito decided to send in "Bib" Sherman as a pinch-hitter for Yonik. Sher- man lined the ball seemingly over the shortstop' but Jake Hastings stuck up his mitt, leaped high and pulled off his most spectacular play of the night to end the game. Oshawa were the 1951 Toronto Minor Baseball Association Junior Champions. R. H. E. Oshawa 020 021 013--9 12 3 Toronto 011 100 000--3 4 6 OSHAWA TRANSPORTERS Coggins, 2b; Hastings, ss; J.

NORMIE BAGNELL EXTRA-BASE BLOWS TELL TALE Tony Romaniski clouted a homer down the left-field line early in the second nning, to open the scoring and from that point on, Oshawa Pedlars® were in charge. Wes Keeler doubled with one out in the third frame, Normie Magee tripled with two out and-Roman- iski followed with a double, to make the score 3-0. Pedlars added three runs in the fourth when Bagnell started it off with a lusty two-bagger, Bill Your- kevich doubled after Stark's sac- rifice. Barker singled to left and romped all the way home when the ball got away from Reg. Marcil. Pedlars last run came in the 6th. Normie Magee sprinted to 3rd as his high lift to right fleld was dropped and he scored easily after the catch when Romanski flied to deep centre. Bill Yourkevich, with three hits in five trips, was Oshawa's big batter, but Magee, Romaniski and Bagnell with two apiece, were also very much to the fore, all with ex- tra-base blows to the record. Roger Dedard at 1st base for Hull and Maisel Legris at 3rd, were the fielding stars for the vis- itors, with left-fielder Marcil also pulling off a fine catch to rob Magee of another hit. Second game of this series will be played in Hull or Ottawa, on Saturday and should the series go into the 3rd game, it will be settled in Hull, on Sunday afternoon. R. H.
