PAGE TEN THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETYYE TUESDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1951 RT SNAPSHOTS ©) =QP0 -- --_-- A big portion of what was expected to constitute a very busy holiday week-end sports program around these parts, was washed out by the heavy rain on Sunday. Oshawa Transporters were unable to play their OBA Junior "A" championship final game or games here Monday be- cause the Stadium diamond was too'wget. On Saturday, at Labatt's Park in London, the "Louballs" of London defeated Oshawa Transporters twice. A wild splurge of home-run hitting with the homesters having a slight edge, saw London break a 6-6 deadlock late in the game and go on to win the first game of the finals 9-6. At night, the London ace, Slack, pitched a nifty game to beat the Transporters 5-2 although at that, one bad inning which resulted in four runs for the homesters, was the entire story. Other than that, Bill McTavish and Ted Stone held their own. Transporters nit the ball fairly well but théy didn't play their usual sound defensive game in the field. Coach "Snowball" villson is confident liis Transporters can get back in the running with victories here on their home diamond--but they'll have to wait until Saturday afternoon now, to resume the series. * Ld + Oshawa's lone Ontario softball championship of the 1951 season was won on Saturday when the B'Nai B'Rith Connaught Midgets defeated Sarnia Dunlops 5-3 in a thriiler-diller. The Connaught Park boys have written some softball History for the OASA records. This marks their third-straight Ontario title. They won the Bantam championship two years ago, last season they became the first win- ners of the OASA Midget title (first season it was completely con- tested) and on Saturday they retained their Ontario Midget cham- pionship. However. this year, not only did the Connaught Park Mid- gets win the Provincial title but they played the entire season, in a 6- team league schedule, league playoffs and three rounds of Provincial playdowns WITHOUT LOSING A SINGLE GAME. Members of the B'Nai B'Rith Lodge of this city, sponsors of the Midget League and the citizens of the Connaught Park A s of this team, have every right to be proud of the champions. Connaught Park won four out of six possible "minor" softball city champion- ships this year, Pee Wee boys, Bantam boys, Midget boys and the Midget girls, all copping titles. A special word of praise is due to Norm. Attersley, hard-working coach of the Connaught Park Midgets, for bringing his team through the 1951 season to another Ontario championship and this time without losing a single game. y + * A A regrettable incident occurred in the game at Sarnia, closest game the Connaught Park Midgets have had this season, when the Oshawa ras viciously assaulted, just after the last batter umpire, B. Higgins, w : of the game had gone down swinging at the 3rd strike. It is claimed that Bob Healey, coach of the Sarnia Dunlops, had threatened the offi- cial during the game that he would "get" him if Sarnia was defeated. As the game ended and the official was walking off the diamond, with his "cage" under his arm, he was grabbed around the neck and thrown heavily to the ground. A further attack was attempted but others rushed in to pull off the Sarnia coach. The Oshawa umpire was painfully in- jured and had to be taken to the Sarnia General Hospital, for medical attention. X-ray pictures revealed no broken ribs, which was at first feared, but torn muscles in the side and back were sustained, as well as | a painful bruise. Sarnigmclub and association officials expressed their | ia td hy CO=SP deep regret at the incident and co-operated in securing medical atten- |= rn retaining their Provincial Mid- | © for the injured official. The assault will be reported to the OASA | offices and there seems little doubt that a drastic suspension- will be levied. Higgins was able to return home with the team but is still re- quiring doctor's care, Prior to the game on Saturday night, Sarnia Minor Association officials handed out little booklets stressing sports- manship--but they refused Oshawa a "runner" for a player who was limping badly--and then came the big fiasco. Mmm! tior + * Ey Oshawa Red Raiders scored IT points in two games over the week-end. This year's edition of the local Intermediate ORFU grid squad is proving to be a potent scoring squad with a stone-wall de- fensive system as well. They've won every game so far this season and have had only one lone point scored against them so far. They go down to Cobourg on Saturday to meet the Gallopin' Ghosts in a group game and it should be a game to see. Red Raiders blanked East York 49-0 up in East York on Saturday afternoon and then came back here on Monday afternoon to, sharpen thee bing for 'Thanksgiving dinner with a 62-0 triumph over an inept gang o gridders from Kingston RCEME. The two one-sided wins boosted the scoring honors of the team and certain individual players of course but what's more important, such obvious ability should have an appeal with the local rugby fans. and draw them out in great numbers, the next time the Red Raiders are in action here at the Stadium, which will be one week from tonight, with the Peterbor- ough Panthers will be the visitors. + + +* DID YOU KNOW thai Arthur Gleeson, who is broadcasting the | World Series games one of the National hook-ups, for the New York vankees, is anh old Ontario County boy.

In both the Western Interprovincial and the Big Four football unions, second-place teams moved into the lead. Saskatchewan Roughriders went to the top of the western confer- ence with twin 25-18 victories, both in Regina, , over Edmonton Eski- mos Saturday and Calgary Stam- peders Monday. . The latter victory," combined with Edmonton's 38-27 loss to Win- nipeg Blue Bombers in Winnipeg, gave the Riders a two-point edge over Eskimos in the western standings. Calgary kept their playoff hopes alive Saturday with a hard-fought 18-16 win over Blue Bombers at Winnipeg but the loss to the Roughriders wrote. finish to their chances. Two Ottawa gh Riders' vic- tories over Monfreal Alouettes--a 25-13 win Saturday in Ottawa and a 12-9 win Monday in Montreal-- put them into 4 first-place tie with Hamilton Tiger-Cats for lead- ership in the Big Four. The Tiger-Cats split a home-and- home series with Toronto Argo- nauts. Saturday in Toronto they steamrollered over the Argos 22-6 but they saw 'the tables turned Monday in Hamilton by a 10-0 Argo Comeback. Coach Frank Clair of the To- ronto Argonauts took a lot of cus- sing Saturday for dropping quar- terback Al Dekdebrun when Nobby Wirkowski, who is taking Dekde- Brun's place, tossed two flat pas- ses--both intercepted--within the shadow of the Argonaut goal-posts to set up Hamilton touchdown drives. : But the youngster from Miami University completed eight of 11 pass attempts Monday as Argos gave the powerful Hamilton team its first shutout defeat in two sea- sons. Saturday, the Tiger-Cat line made mincemeat of the Argo de- fence. But the double blue team took charge from the beginning on Monday, and although. it registered only one touchdown--by Ulysses Curtis--it pushed beyond the Ham- ilton 15-yard line three times. Pour singles and a convert, all by Joe Krol, completed the Toronto scoring. Ottawa Rough Riders took to the air Monday to score their second straight victory over the ground- attacking Alouettes. A Tome O'Mal- ley pass to Alton Baldwin gave them their first major and a pass interception by Ted McLarty their second. Choo Choo Roberts' place- ment and Virgil Wangner's con- verted touchdown rounded out the Montreal half of he 12-9 score. In the 25-13 game Saturday, How- ie Turner got two Ottawa majors and Balwin and Bob Simpson one each. Wagner and Roberts cored touchdowns for Montreal. The two losses put the Als in the Big Four cellar, one game behind Argos. . Glen Dobbs was the hero of the week-end in Regina. The rangy quaraterback of Saskachewan Roughriders passed and ran for four touchdowns in the Saturday game with Eskimos and scooted over for one major in the Monday game with Stampeders. Sarnia Imperials édged back into first place in the senior Ontario rugby Football Union during the weekend with a 20-5 win over Mc- Master Uaiversity Marauders in Hamilton Saturday and a 25-6 win over Toronto Balmy Beaches in To-, ronto Monday. The winless last-place Windsor Royals took two beatings -- a 29-0 llacking Saturday from beach- and § 21-5 drubbing from Mar- auders Monday, both in the Win- sor. The Imperials ended two point ahead of the Torontonians. Games played by McMaster, competing in only half the schedule, count four points. In the colorful intercollegiate union, University of Western On- tario Mustangs got away to a triumphant home-field start in de- fence of their senior intercollegiate title by defeating the Golden Gaels of Queen's University 24-12. On the same afternoon, Toronto Varsi- ty Blues gave McGill Redmen a 15-7 walloping in Montreal. : LOCAL SOFTBALL MIDGETS WIN ONT.

Connaught Park had runners on 3rd base in the 6th and 7th frames but couldn't get the one more hit needed, as Healey also showed his class in the pinches. The Sarnia hurler was nicked for ten hits but he fanned 13 batters and issued only four walks.

The clubs want to find out just what the other has in the way of offensive and defensive strength. In the first game of the Trans- porter-London Junior "A" OBA fi- nal at Labatt Park, London, it was more a case of both sides exhibit- ing rather than concealing their strength. WIN ON HOMERS London Louball won by a 9-6 score on the home run ball. Not one, but three of the round-trippers. Oshawa collected two homers in this wild display of extra-base hit- ting that saw a pair of fastball hurlers pouring the pill down the drain-pipe and hoping for the best. "Lefty" Jack Durston, with a 17- 2 record before entering the series, was the starter for Oshawa. London replied with a southpaw too, Roy McKay. A short centre-field fence helped the batters in their long-ball hit- ting spree, with John Jozkowski starting things off in the top of the first with a drive over dead cen- tre to make it 1-0 for Oshawa. Frank Hooper tripled into right field with two men on base in the top of the second and the Trans- porters led 3-0. Hooper scored on an outfield fly and the count mov- ed to 4-0. The home crew came back with a singleton in the bottom of the sec- ond whefy Bill Slack doubled and scored on a pair of infield outs. MAKES IT CLOSE McKay saw three up and three go down in the top of the third and his mates, heartened by that show, belted Jack Durston for two runs when Larry Dixon cufiss the ball over the centre-field fence with a mate aboard. That made it a 4-3 ball game and showed the Louball team were a force to be reckoned with . . . in fact to get woyried about, Henry Sarnovsky slammed a hom- er over that short fence to open the top of the fifth but a quick double- play erased a further threat by Oshawa. With two on-base, two out and the score 5-3, Larry Dixon again found a pitch he liked and poked it for a two-bagger into right field. He batted in two runs and tied the game 5-5. Brign McAllister walked with two out in the sixth. Gord Neal singled him to second and Hooper gained first on an error to load the bases. McKay pushed over the tie-breaker when he hit Sarnovsky with an in- side pitch. . tonuon got- that singleton back in their half of the sixth when | LONDON IN DRIVER'S SEAT...

The spark was gone from the Transporter attack however, and in the first of the ninth, Hooper's sine gle was the lone bright spot as McKay picked up a win and Lon- don moved in front 1-0 in the best- of-five final series.

Louball took the decision 5-2, and with the win a 2-0 stranglehold on the best-of-five set. The home crew threw their right- hand ace, Bill Slack. Slack had a 12-2 record with the Senior Inter- county London Majors and was one of the few pitchers who found Brantford Red Sox no problem at all. Not bad for an 18-year-old, eh? The Transporters also picked a right-hander to handle the hurling . . . Bi]l McTavish. WILDNESS COSTLY Both boys allowed very few hits . . . Slack, just four in nine ihnings McTavish, five in six frames, Both were fanning the opposition with regularity. The one difference was McTavish's wildness. He walked five men. Slack didn't pass a bat- ter and struckout 14 Oshawa play- ers over the route! McTavish was pulled in the sev- enth, when cross-fire artist Ted Stone... took over. The-score was then 5-1 for London. Ted threw one-hit relief ball, fan- 7 olin Junior ning three of a possible six men in a great stint. His mates got to Slack for another run in the top o: the ninth for a final count of 5-2. McTavish's first hint of trouble came in the last of the second when Red Mayes objected strenuously to an inside pitch that dusted him off. The count was 3-2 at the time. Bill's next heave was wide and Mayes made first. A DARING MOVE He 'stole second under a high throw from the catcher, made third wher. a curve-drop got away from the catcher, and then really got Bill going by getting a 'big jump on him and stealing home. That run actually decided the ball game. It gave London a 1-0 lead and a good-sized cushion for Slack to rest on. He needed just that and no more. McTavish walked Slack to open the fourth. (Slack also bats clean- up for his club) Mayes doubled to put men on second and third. A passed ball scored one run. Sand- ers walked and stole second to put two men in scoring position. God- dard went down on strikes, but Slack's brother Stan singled to score two runs and make it a 4-0 game. McTavish fanned Newman, but a wild pitch enabled Slack to score from third and the count was now Brian McAllister led-off for the Transporters in the top of the sev- enth and bashed a line triple" into left field. The ball travelled well over 400 feet before the fielder picked and tossed back to the in- field. Brian, not a speed-ball on the bases, played 'it safe and held up at third. A relay made this look like a good move. BATS IN FIRST . Neal struckout, but Hank Joz-' koski, replacing Hooper behind the platter, came to bat and grounded out third-to-first to score Oshawa's | in the first of the ninth when Nick Ball Final first tally. The Transporter's other run came Mroczek clubbed the ball deep into right. Nick was passing second when the fielder booted the ball allowing the lanky Oshawan to pull up at third. John Jozkoski was the next batter. He saw three strikes, but the last was dropped. He made for first and the catcher had to toss ahead of him for the out. Mroczek saw his chance and gained the plate on the catcher's error. McAllister flied to deep centre for the second out, but Neal made first on an error at short. He stole sec- ond cleanly. Hank -Jozkoski be- came Slack's 14th strikeout victim, as the terrific right-hander decided he had to get things over himself. R. HE.
