FLAG THREAT? Phillies On The March; Take Third From Brooks By BEN PHLEGAR By now at least Brooklyn Dod- gers know that Steve O'Neill is serious when he claims his Phil- can win the National League ! les ¥ t. Wh i You can't be much more con- vincing than Philadelphia was in winning three straight from the Dodgers, O'Neill maintained all spring the Dodgers could be beaten and t he had the team that could beat them. Robin Roberts applied the clin- cher Thursday night, 6-1. Pitts] comes into Philadel phia today and the Phillies mana- ger has named Jim Konstanty to open against the Pirates. The Phils have won four straight and moved into sole possession of first place with Thursday night's victory, a half-game ahead of the idle St. Louis Cardinals. In Na- tional League day games Chicago defeated Milwaukee 6-2 and Pitts- burgh edged New York Giants 6-5. New York Yankees whipped Bos- ton Red Sox 6-3 and extended their American League lead to a full game over St. Louis Browns, who weren't scheduled. Philadelphia Athletics beat Washington 6-4. De- troit Tigers snapped a five-game losing streak by trimming Chicago ite Sox 8-4. Cincinnati, St. Louis Cardinals nd Cleveland also had the day off. Brooklyn got to Roberts for nine hits, but the only one that paid off was Pee Wee Reese's first-inning home run. Stan Lopata homered, doubled and drove in three runs for the Phils, Granny Hamner also blasted a Jour pagger off loser Johnny Podres. The Giants outhit Pittsburgh 12-7, but the big blow in the Pirates' attack was a grand-slam home run by outfielder Frank Thomas, the first of his career, Johnny Hetki, drafted from Toronto, came on dur- ing a New York uprising in the sixth and pitched brilliantly to save the decision for Howie Pollet. Dave Koslo was the victim. Warren Hacker weathered early home runs by Andy Pafko and Ed Mathews to post his first vic- tory for the Cubs. "Toronto Leafs Defeat Cubs | For First Win of Season By THE CANADIAN PRESS Jack Tighe's Buffalo Bisons bel- ted three Baltimore pitchers for 13 hits Thursday night in downing the Orioles 6-4 to take first place in the International Baseball League. In the only other Thursday night encounter, edged Springfield Cubs 7-6. Each now has won and lost a game. Weather permitting, Buffalo and Baltimore again tangle today and Toronto tackles Springfield. Other clubs again are idle. At Baltimore Thursday night, Buffalo used a pair of home runs to their advantage, Ken Johnson, itching into the eighth inning be- being Teplaced by Johnny Weiss, allow seven of Balti- more's nine hits and aided his own ¢- with a two-run homer in the ird. Toronto Maple Leafs|Goliat hit Hal Daugherty hit the other round. , this time with two on base, in the sixth. Balimore hurler Dick Starr, the first of three pitchers, took the loss. i At Springfield Toronto's Mike a slam 390-foot home run In the first inning at the expense of Don Elston, making his first start in triple A ball. The Cubs came back with three runs in their half of the first frame and two in the second off Toronto starter ' Bill Voiselle, who was brilliantly relieved by Ray Shore. The Leafs went ahead to stay in the sixth when Bill Demars hit Elston for a two-run single. Darius Hillman relieved Elston in the sev- enth and Bob Hartig took his turn in the ninth. The three hurlers al- lowed 15 hits. OSHAWA BOWLING NEWS STORE LEAGUE It's all over for another season and outside of the late hours we had a very good year. Some of our teams probably are glad to see it's over due to pinfall trouble, but that's the way it goes and we some teams that are right in there all through the season and when the two big play-off nights come--seem to fall apart. Yours truly is one of the individuals who fell apart and certainly did justice to his team. However lots of the s were like us. Well, don't forget that next Tuesday night at 6:30 in Club Bayview, Whitby, is our grand final get-together for this sea- son, and we would like to have a full turnout. We have to pay for you so you might as well enjoy it. All teams are to, look after their own transportation. We will have lots to eat and refreshments and entertainment. Each team will get some prize money back. Now for last night, as it has turned out, it was an upset especially in the consola- tion series as it looks as if Collis had it in the bag, but you never know and up came 3rd place OBL to score a 1300 and a 1400 in the last two games for a total of 3941 for 3 games to beat Collis by 302 pins and win the Rae Halliday Patterson 239, E.

BOWLING LEAGUE Tuesday saw the first round of the play- offs but the scores turned were just fair. Hold-Ads got the jump in the first division while Pin Points took the lead in division No. 2. However, neither team got a suffi- cient lead to make it safe and will have to fight hard to stay on top. The results were as follows: Division No. 1 Hold Ads. 3222 (Ed. Fuller 722); Solids 3041 (M. Mann 797); Digits 2911 (F. Ball 595); Pin Busters (W. Lymer 746). Ladies' high single in this division went to Joan Pattman with 243 while Verda Wilson Trophy. Congratulations to Henry Brown and his boys and tough luck Max Collis, whose team didn't have it last night. In the championship series Carswells led all the way and the never-say-die Al- gers fell apart in their last game. In fact, they did not roll their regular game and so to Carsy and his boys congratula- tions. Skinners might have had a chance but too much excitement at the home of Mc- Kinney and his mind was far away. Oh yes, Mrs. McKinney presented him with a bouncing baby (sorry I didn't find out whether it was a boy or girl.) Congratula- tions Daddy! This is the final standing in series.

Though we figure they may need a hand if all the work is to be completed in time for that Saturday afternoon, May 16th deadline . . . the opening of the local ball season. From what we've gathered, the cement blocks which serve as foundations for the two light standards in right field which have to be moved, must set for three weeks aiter pouring before the poles can be re-erected. Figuring three weeks from Tuesday and Wednesday of this week (the days when the foundations were poured) that puts us on to May 12 . . . just four days before the opening. Those particular standards must be fitted with four more lights, and the two in left- field must be. fitted with two additional units. Then, of course, the whole batteries must be re-focussed. The wall itself shouldn't pose too much of a problem. The cement slabs, theoretically at least, should slip back into place between the steel up- rights like pieces in a jigsaw puzzle when you know the key.

Every book of in- struction we ever waded through warned on every fourth page that the pupil who didn't follow through was a gone goslin. We have sat many times and in Tommy's Book mour's "How To Learn Your Best Golf" on our desk we were not equipped for the emotional exper- ience which followed. ' "You may find to your horror," says the grey Scot without warn- ing, "that I never mention or pic- ture the complete follow-through except in discussing bunker shots. That means I've left out some very graceful and eye-catching pic- tures I could have used in this pondered this strange aspect of an| book otherwise fairly uncomplicated game. Why, we would ask our- selves, is it necessary for the play- er to strike picture pose, his club poised gracefully over his shoulder, after he already has slugged the ball and it is long since on its way toward the woods. We had about despaired of ever finding the answer, and when the mailman dropped Tommy Ar- Joey Follis Earns Split Decision LONDON, Ont, (CP)--Joey Fol- Toronto boxer, Langfeldt, a southpaw slugger, whaled away at each other for five rounds in the main bout of the amateur. boxing card here Thursday night before Follis was awarded a split decision. It was a |138-pound scrap. Bob Hesson, Stratford, making his return to amateur boxing after a brief whirl among the pros, drew with Henry George, a Port Col- borne policeman, in the second five round feature, a heavyweight clash, : The bout was called at 38 sec- onds of the fourth when George suffered a bad cut between his eyes. Ordinarily, it would have gone for a TKO in favor of Hes- son, but under the new Ontario athletic commission rules, a fight may be called a draw if the injured fighter receives a cut from a but- ted head, provided the bout is close. When it ended all three judges had the contest even. Gary Williams of Hamilton took a unanimous decision from smooth Sammy Pilliarik of Sarnia in a | five-rounder at 158 pounds, but had | to battle for it. In other bouts, Paul Beauvais, Sarnia, won from Erwin Beire, St. Thomas; Jimmy Cluff, London, decisioned Bob Devellier, Sarnia: Jerry Labelle, Port Colborne, got a split decision over Al Boyd, Lon- don, and Joe Sangoes, London, out- pointed Gaston: Breton, Sarnia. off-| and Hamil-| "But I'm convinced that any. emphasis on the follow through in golf instruction is just one more thing for the Pri to remember, and one which won't help him. There are two reasons for this. "First, if the ball is hit cor- rectly, it's on its way anyhow, and it doesn't' matter who you follow through, and if it has been hit correctly you are bound to follow through---naturally. Secondly, it's a peculiar thing, but the people who concentrate specifically on following through are often the very ones who quit on a shot in the actual hitting area." The former triple crown winner --U.S. Open; British Open and P.G.A.--has cut out a lot of non- sense about how to play golf. "The | frustrated ones." he says, "lost | their way to glory by wandering in a maze of detail." | "Understand," Tommy says, | "that this is not a book about a soft way to great golf. This book | that is bringing you and me to- | gether requires that the reader | use some brains."
