FRIDAY, OCTOBER 5 1951 THE DAILY T IMES-GAZETTE PAGE ELEVEN GPORT SNAPSHOT By Geo. H. Camensin ---- {2 Se DA nn S-- The Thanksgiving holiday week-end, last of such three-day stands in the usual "summer" sports whirl, looms and it will be a busy session for the Oshawa sport fans. Tonight at 7.15 o'clock, at the Kinsmen Civic Memorial Stadium, Oshawa Pedlars and St. Catharines Teepees Chiefs will play their 3rd and deciding game of the OASA Senior "B" semi-finals, The coin was tossed yesterday in Toronto and Oshawa won-- so the Chiefs play here this evening, with Toronto umpires officiating. This could be the final softball game of the season but on the other hand, Sault Ste. Marie is scheduled to come "south" tomorrow for the All-Ontario championship series. It Pedlars win--and the "Soo" elects to come down for the titie series, the first game will be played here at the Stadium tomorrow afternoon at 4.00 o'clock and the second game will be played tomorrow evening, at 8.00 o'clock. Should a 3rd and de- ciding game be necessary, it will have to be played on Monday morning, at the Stadium. The "Soo" has stated they will not come down unless guaranteed $300.00 but Pedlars, who made the trip to the North last year (Sudbury) have stated thal the expenses of this year's series is not their responsibility and the "Soo" must come down on their own-- or else. Meanwhile, the big softball battle at the Stadium this evening should be a thriller-diller, with Normie Bagnell opposing Les Bell, St. Kitts' colored hurler--who looks to be the fastest runner we've seen in years, ' +, * + At 845 o'clock tonight, Oshawa Victor's Sports play Toronto Stanton Fuels in the 3rd and deciding game of their OBA Juvenile "A" semi-final series. Oshawa's smart Juvenile baseball team upset the powerful Toronto champions 5-3 here on Tuesday night to tie up the series and this deciding game tonight is the hig opportunity for Victors to get into the OBA finals and brush aside the one team that has been picked all season to cop the laurels. * * * Oshawa B'Nai BRith Connaught Park Midgets go to Sarnia to- morrow to play the second game of the Ontario Midget championship softball finals and a win for the local lads will give them the Provincial title, which %hey 'won last season--first time it had ever been contested. The Connaught Park Midgets are making the trip to Sarnia via bus, thanks to genesbus assistance by the Oshawa B'Nai BRith Lodge and the boys are going to make every effort to justify such support by bringing home the championship. * +* +* Oshawa Transporters travel to London Labatt's Park tomorrow to tackle the London Juniors in the OBA championship finals. This is a 3-out-of-5 series with the first and second games in London tomorrow afternoon and evening and the third and fourth games back here in Oshawa on Thanksgiving Day, at the Stadium, Monday, afternoon and evening, (if a 4th game is necessary). As long as the Transporters can win at least one of the two games in London tomor- row, they'll be in a fine position to bring Oshawa the first Junior "A" OBA title this city has had since 1936--the same year that Oshawa won its last Senior OBA title. Coach "Snowball" Wilson has his pitch- ing staff in fine fettle for this crucial series and if Frank Hooper gets around in time to make the trip with the team, Transporters will al- most be at full strength. + * * - BRIGHT BITS -- Whether or not Sault Ste. Marie is coming to Oshawa tomorrow afternoon and evening will not be known of course until after tonight's game. If the Chiefs take the 3rd game here tonight, then the "Soo" will or will not be going to St. Catharines . . . Oshawa Red Raiders are arranging an exhibition rugby game for Monday, and will play it at Alexandra Park in the afternoon. The visiting team will pe the RCEME "Army" team of Kingston . .. The World Series is now well under way and Giants' victory yesterday just may be the indi- cation that it will prove one of the most memorable years of baseball history--especially National League history. That fantastic victory by Giants over Dodgers in the 9th inning in the 3rd playoff game was per- haps the top pinnacle of the season's climax and the World Series may ot live up to that event--but at least the Giants are making a try to keep the excitement at fever pitch and their win yesterday, "salted" by Dark's 'homer, has the NL, fans looking for a World Series victory . . . Dave Koslo's finep itching yesterday was just one more "surprise" for Leo Durocher to pull out of his bag . . .

Harry Psutka To Give Up Hockey, Play Pro Baseball St. Catharines (CP) Harry lim McCaffrey Protests Ti-Cats Latest Import ---------- Ottawa (CP) -- Manager Jim McCaffrey of the. Ottawa Rough Rider football club said last night he has objected to the Canadian Rugby Union bver the granting of stitution said all players -- includ- , a playing certificate to Tom Worthington, Hamilton Tiger-Cats newest United States import. He said the Ottawa protest was pased on the following points: 1. The former Northwestern and Detroit Lions halfback (Worthing- ton) did not enter Canada until Oct. 2, although the deadline for registration of U.S. imports had been fixed by the CRU as mid- night, Oct. 1. ; 2. A certificate must be register- ed when received by the CRU sec- retary, not the date of mailing. (Hamilton's claim was that Worth- ington's certificate was put in the mail before midnight on Monday but did not reach the Toronto CRU office until Tuesday, Oct. 2.) 3. The Hamilton club failed to name their seven U.S. imports by midnight of Oct. 1 although re- quested twice to do so. 4.

HOLIDAY WEEK-END MAY BE TURNING POINT IN CANADA GRID PICTURE By the Canadian Press The Thanksgiving weekend may really do things to the Canadian football picture. * Fourteen senior games are scheduled -- eight Saturday and six Monday -- and the results could produce drastic changes in at least two leagues -- the eastern Big Four' and the western Inter- 'provincial Union. Hamilton Tiger - Cats, who have | | slipped a little from taneir early- season invincibility, still lead the | eastern league but-the margin now is only two points over Ottawa Rough Riders. Two points back in third place are Montreal Alouettes and Toronto Argonauts, both cf whom have played a game fewer than Hamilton and Ottawa. ton twice -- in Toronto Saturday and Hamilton Monday -- and with Aloueites and Rough Riders tangl- ing in Ottawa Saturday and Mont- real Monday -- any cne of tae four teams could end up in first place.

Monte Irvin Leads Giants To 5-1 Triumph By JACK HAND New York (CP) -- New York Giants are still baseball's miracle team, but for one day at least their act was cold. Leo Durocher's winning gamble with his No. 4 pitcher and some prodigious hitting by Monte Irvin gave the Giants a 5-1 victory over the mighty New York Yankees in the opening game of the World Se- ries yesterday. But many of the 65,000 spectators at Yankee Sta- dium were still talking about the Giants' tremendous victory in the Nationa League playoffs Wednes- ay. MONTE IRVIN It was like following Milton Berle with a dog act, or following a dog act with Milton Berle depending on your personal tastes. Not even Hol- lywood could top the hysterics of the pennant - clincher against Brooklyn Dodgers.

He took a chance with lefty Dave Koslo and got away wita it against Allie Reynolds, who warm- ed up for the series with a no- hitter against Boston Red Sox. Now Durocher has Larry Jansen | (23-11) ready for today's second game at the stadium. Jim Hearn (17-9), Monday's playoff winner at Brooklyn, is set for Saturday and Sal Maglie (23-6) ready to come back Sunday with three full days est. Instead of a weary crew of stag- gering pitchers he has his three best ready to go in order. And the Yanks already have used up the feared Reynolds. Retreating in con- fusion from 8 to 5 favoring the Yanks, the market now says 6 to 5 and take your pick. RIGHT-HANDED POWER With the Giant array of right- handed batting power, Eddie Lo- pat (21-9) is no cinch to square the series for Casey Stengel. A contrel pitcher whose stuff usually produces many fly balls, Lopat will escape trouble from rioting Bobby Thomson and Irvin. That man Irvin finally hitting his stride as one of the great hit- ters in modern day baseball, really had himself an afternoon against Reynolds. Monte tied a series record with four hits, one a triple, stole home against Reynolds with the second Giant run in the first inning and contributed two fine catches. What more can a man do in his first World Series game? Irvin and Koslo were the story until Al Dark hammered a three- run homer into the left field seats in the sixth. That nailed it down.

Stengel used only two lefty batters -- Yogi Berra and Joe Col- lins. Still: when he needed hits in the late innings he had to resort to three lefthanded pinch hitters. Not since 1936 when Carl Hub- bell beat Red Ruffing 6-1 had the Yanks lost a series opener. They won eight straight in between. Not since 1942 when the surging Cards upset them have they lost a series. Maybe this is the shadow of things to come. Way back in 1914, the year of the original "miracle. men" from Boston, the Braves who took out the copyright on the Giant-type fin- ale rushed pell mell over Boston Red Sox in four straight. More than one expert recalled that last night and started to waver 'on his series selection. champio n University of Western RIP REYNOLDS The Giants were disrespectful of | the Yanks' reputation for winning "the big ones." They ripped into Reynolds for two runs in the first inning. A walk to Hank Thompson and Irvin's single set the stage for Whitey Lockman's run - scoring double. While Reynolds worked on Bobby Thomson, Irvin dashed across the plate for the first steal of home in a series in 30 years. You had to go way back to the first Yank - Glant series in 1921 to find Mike McNally and Bob Meusel of the Yanks daing the job. If you looked a little further, how- ever, you'd find that Charley Schmidt of the miracle Braves of '14 stole home in the opener to un- nerve the favored A's. ! In the same inning, Irvin robbed 'Hank Bauer of a home run with a leaping stab of his long drive near the 402-foot mark on the left field barrier. Two innings later he raced far to his left to drag down Joe Dimaggio's long belt. A Yankee run in the second on Gil McDougald's double and Gerry Coleman"s single that Hank Thomp- son also fumbled closed the gap to 2-1. Then Dark lashed his homer in the sixth following Wes West- rum's single and walk to Eddie Stanhy. With a righthander going for the Gfants, Stengel will juggle his lineup. Bobby Brown will go "to third with McDougald moving to second and Gene Woodling will play left field. Durocher has little hope of play- ing Don Mueller in the series. The Giant right fielder regular sprain- ed his ankle in Wednesday's wild | ninth inning against the Dodgers. | Hank Thompson who did a cap- able job yesterday will continue in the outfield, dropping down in the order to fet Bobby Thomson hit third against Lopat. | After today's game the scene | shifts to the Polo Grounds for | Saturday, Sunday and Monday, if I ry. It will be the first series that was served at most attractive- ly arranged tables, featuring place cards and novel favors suitable to golfers.

Allin, many compliments of appreciation to the various groups responsible for a successful year.

Toronto Balmy Beach plays at Windsor Saturday and is at home against Sarnia Monday. Sarnia and Toronto are tied for first place while Windsor has lost all four starts. A significant feature of play in the west and in the Big Four is that coaches will be using their season's quota of seven U.S. im- ports. Last Monday was the dead- line for naming the seven Ameri- cans to be used for the rest of the season. Previously the teams were permitted to juggle imports, using only seven but changing them each week. Reports that Hamilton would be permitted to use only six imports this weekend were discounted when Charles C. Lawson, president of the Big Four, denied that the lea- gue had withheld the playing cer- tificate of Tom Worthington, former Detroit Lions half Back, who was signed an hour before the dead- line.
