40 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE, Saturday, April 25, 1958 JFIRST LOSS IN 47 GAMES OSHAWA WOODVIEW PARK BOYS HAVE ENVIABLE HOCKEY RECORD THIS YEAR was defeated 3-2 by Dorval, Nor- mally this wouldn't be considered much in the way of news but when it is pointed out that the Oshawa Woodview Park lads have played 47 hockey games this season and Thursday's defeat was On Thursday night, Oshawa Woodview Park hockey team, which already this season has won the HL Atom League ching. hip and is now ve Bhe ne for the title in that section of the King Clancy series, the first loss they have sustained in the entire season, then that tells a real story.

EVERYTHING FROM'SOUP TO NUTS" The Oshawa City and District Softball Association met on Thursday night and while it appears obvious that there'll not be quite as much OASA softball in this city this summer as in former years, it does seem apparent that there will be some lively action. Wren Blair, who ran a classy Junior team here for the past two years, has signified his inten- tions of entering a team in the over-age series and Herbie Cooper, former catcher with the Pedlars team, has also indicated that he will likely have a team. This will be one more team than operated last season and if the Grads basketball group, who are said to be consider- ing entering an Inter. team, go ahead with their plans, then there will be some good contenders here, No word on any Junior softball teams as yet but the UAWA has announced that they will again sponsor the local Juvenile League, with as many teams as care to enter. President Alf Wilson has called another meeting for Thursday night, at UAW Hall and all interested softball enthusiasts will be made welcome, Decision to go ahead with OASA entries means that some of the neighbouring "outside" teams may have to revise their plans. It's no secret that several of the South Ontario County League teams were looking to Oshawa to secure some experienced players to bolster their ranks but with a strict OASA residence rule in force, some of these plans will haye to be revised. This corner has had several queries as to the elihood of an "Industrial League" in Oshawa this season. Word is out that the Inter-Church League will again have a strong loop with all teams keen to go again and the champion St. Gregory's likely to find stern opposition from pome of their former mates, who will be with another new entry. A good Industrial League in Oshawa might be the right step to reviving softball, at the ideal level and an old-fashioned "sweaters only" league could be just the answer. Among those places we feel would be definitely interested in such a league--with teams to consist only of their own employees--are Pedlars, Coulters, Brewers Warehouse, Fittings, Alger Press, Oshawa Railway and Duplate and we imagine teams could be obtained from the Firemen-Policemen Combines and from the Dominion-Loblaws-A, & P. Combines, etc. If our guess is right, that there are quite a few of these firms and businesses interested in putting a team in a strictly "Industrial" 'league (not for OASA competition, unless wishing to do so) we would recommend that they send their representatives to Thursday \night's meeting at UAW Hall. We feel quite confident that Presi- dent Alf Wilson and the executive would welcome such a league and would gladly offer to run it, with the help of delegates from each team. Mike Garbark, Oshawa's manager for the Merchants in this year's Inter-County League race, is scheduled to arrive here about Wednesday 'and the Merchants will be starting their workouts by the end of the week. 'At that, they'll be more than a week behind some of the I-C clubs, St. Thomas Elgins, who have imported practically their entire team, held their first workout on Wednesday with over a dozen "regulars" on hand under the watchful eye of Manager Bob Benish. Conditioning, light workouts with everybody making sure he doesn't get a sore arm, is the order of the day. Kitchener Panthers were out on Wednesday night, with playing-manager Don Gallinger in charge. St. Thomas, so far, have no Negro players this year. Brantford fans are all gigged up too. Luther Clifford arrived Wednesday. The husky colored catcher :s being counted upon heavily by the Red Sox. Brantford's Alan Rose says there were several "ringers" played in the I-C loop last year, under assumed names, with their real names filed with the I-C secretary however. He recalls that Rogers Hornsby's son played with Galt, under the name of Horn. Don Raleigh, with Raleigh, North Carolina last year, may be in the Ontario loop under another name. Pete Gray is going to be trying for a berth with the Guelph Maple Leafs. Pete Gray, it will be remembered, is the courageous one-armed outfielder of amazing speed, mow 34, who spent one colorful season with St. Louis Browns and later played with Memphis in Double "AA" ball. He has been out of ball for the past two seasons however. Leafs have signed Ray Coles for 2nd base. The 24-year-old Detroiter is reported to have refused a contract at the N.Y. Giants' training camp. He holds a fielding record in the Mid Atlantic League and fielded .975 in the Class "C" Northern League in 1949. Ike Robbins, 3rd baseman, Hit .440 (WOW!) with Las Vegas in serfii-pro ball last year and he's with Guelph so Manager George D'Addario feels he has quite a team lined up. And while on the topic of baseball, we wonder what all the delegates to the OBA annual meeting in Simcoe a few weeks ago, where they established the new Senior "A" or Major series, feel about the OBA Executive members tossing out the new series and reverting to the old standards, at their meeting last week. y SPORTY BITS: --Kitchener-Waterloo hockey fans let their hair down on Friday when they welcomed home their Flying Dutchmen, Eastern Canada Senior "A" hockey champions with a mammoth re- ception that included a huge parade, as well as speeches, etc. . . . The parade stretched from Galt to Kitchener and it was a great welcome for the Duichmen and should spur tham to an Allan Cup triumph in the final Series which opens there Tuesday . . . Penticton V's have wired home for more apple juice--from their own Okanagan Valley, their special beverage on their hockey tour which is now into the one-month- CRA Pee Wee Boys Baseball Workouts With the final registration all completed the. dates for the prac- tices have been set. This year the age limit for boys playing Pee Wee baseball will be 12 years old as of May 1. Now providing the weatherman doesn't bring on the water, the practices will start on Monday, April 27, 4.00 p.m. at the CRA dia- mond on Gibbs Street. On Monday the boys from the North Area will workout while the South Area will do it on Tuesday, the West Area on Wednesday and the East Area fin- ishing the first workout on Thurs- day. So with good weather, which also counts 'out rain or cold, all pee wee ball players are asked to be at the CRA diamond as soon after 4.00 o'clock as possible. J. K. Cooke Dealing With Club Jumpers TORONTO (CP) -- Jack Kent Cooke, president of Toronto base- ball Maple Leafs, said Friday a representative of the outlaw Do- minican Republic Baseball League is offering arrangements for the return of Wilmer Fields and Frank Barnes, Toronto club-jumpers. and the hometown Boston fans were screaming for the referee to halt the bout long before it was done. Floored six times in the 3rd round and four times in the 4th, before it was finally halfed, we thought it was a disgrace for a man to be subjected to so much obvious pun- ishment, regardless of his tremen- dous fighting spirit and willingness to stagger up and try again. It was the first time we've seen Carter really get going so early in a bout and he left no doubt as to who was the better man . . . Toronto Leafs beat Springfield 7-4 yester- day, coming from behind a 4-1 deficit in the 3rd inning, to win out.

The 30 Goodyears won the best-of-seven series 4-2, - The Kingston victory was a startling reversal from Wednesday night when the Athletics edged them 4-3. The Goodyears went into action from the start, scoring three goals in less than six minutes of the opening period. From this point on the Athletics appeared com- pletely disorganized. Kingston rapped home six goals in the first period and in the sec- ond outscored the Athletics 2-0 and Hlloweq through with four in the rd. Goodyear scorers were Cliff Tin- kess with three; Ted Nicholson, Don Murray and Walt Gerow with two each; and one each by Jack On Thursday night, at Union- ville, Oshawa, Woodview Park met their first defeat in 47 games played this season, when they bowed to Dorval 3-2 in a King Clancy series league game. This was Woodview Park's third game in four days and Danny Cockerton had a bandaged leg from an injury he received during the first of the week. . Dorval opened the score in the first period right after the face-off by Louis Smith. Two minutes later Smith scored again. From that time on Woodview really put on the pressure and Jackie Cole from McAvoy scored the first goal. At the end of the first period Dorval 2, Woodview 1. Cole, McAvoy, Boddy, Disney and Cockerton all missed a good Woodview Atoms Lose to Dorval Lads many chances although really working hard. Dorval shot a hard shot at Norris which he almost stopped but the puck dropped over the line to make the score 3-1. through the whole team scored the second Oshawa goal. From that time on, Woodview did everything but score, right to the end of the game, The two officials came over after the game and said they to see the Woodview team lose on a goal like that. The Woodview boys were not downhearted. They all came off with a smile, prov- ing that they are good losers. Woodview are now ready for the playoffs and actually are in better standing than if they had won as Hey will be playing a fourth place eam.

The veteran missed a three-foot putt on the 17th and lost a penalty stroke in a lake on the 18th, but he still hung on to a lead of one stroke over the best of 19 rivals in this new golfing show. Setting things up for a possible tight windup Sunday in the 72-hole event, four players were tied at 140--Dr. Cary Middlecoff, Earl White, Ken Partis and Jack Mec- Keown.

LACROSSE STARTING Brooklin Club Making Plans Retain Their Ontario Title By LYLE STEVENSON With the cooling of the weather and the rain slowing up the con- ditioning of Brooklin Arena, the Brooklin Intermediate = Lacrosse Club's first practice has been held up. John Vipond, Arena Manager, announced that the floor will be in shape and a practice has been call- ed for Monday, April 27. Anyone in the district interested in playing la- crosse is invited to be on hand. Each player must have running shoes as the management of the arena will not allow any other foot- wear on the earth floor. The Intermediaze Lacrosse schedule is supposed to start earl- ier this season to eliminate the playoffs running too late in the fall. Last season the schedule start- ed around the middle of June and it was well on in October before Brooklin finished playing, even the semi - final and final rounds were cut to the best 2 of 3. Brook- lin should have a good month of practising before the schedule gets under way and this should give the young players who have not had any experience in playing in- termediate lacrosse, plenty of time to get into shape before the open- ing game. An Oshawa entry is being anti- cipated with favor as it is felt that another local entry would be very beneficial to the furthering of the game in the district and as an increase to the public support both in Oshawa and Brooklin. It is felt that the Oshawa team would not make too much of a difference in the Brooklin club of last season but if Oshawa does not enter a team there are a lot of young players in Oshawa wanting to play lacrosse and the Brooklin club would rather give the boys in the district a chance before looking for recruits from elsewhere. Until this matter is clarified the Brooklin club is in the dark as to what moves to make. On the whole prospects for Brooklin look very good, with an outside coach taking over the reigns of the team. Rumors have it that there is plenty of talent floating around should there not be enough at home to fill the bill. The club is looking forward to one of the best seasons they have had not only financially but with high hopes for another Ontario Cham- pionship. - SUSPEND DESPIRITO BOSTON (AP)--Jockey Tony De- Spirito Friday drew a 10-day sus- pension at Suffolk Downs, effec- tive April 27 to May 9--for careless riding aboard Lil's Joy in the fourth race Thursday.

Marchetti Wins Skate Title EDMONTON (CP) -- Barbara Marchetti of Detroit Friday night won the senior women's 880-yard event at the North American indoor speed skating championships. Miss Marchetti, a strong conten- der to take the senior women's crown, covered the eight laps in 1:40.8, six seconds off the record, and about a lap in front of her two competitors. Pat Underhill of Edmonton set the pace over most of the distance 6 but on the fifth lap she and Karen Mattson of St. Paul, Minn. U.S. indoor titleholder, fell to the ice and Miss Marchetti went on to win. Miss Underhill and Miss Mattson finished in that order. Jim Kaufman of St. Paul, Minn., won the junior boys' 220-yard event finishing ahead of Mike Lawrence of Red Deer, Alta., and Walter Swanson of Minneapolis, Minn. Omer DeSchepper, winner of last year's North American indoor sen- lor men's class, chalked up his first win of the 1953 meet when he edged opt Edgar Dame of Boston in the senior men's three-quarter mile. DeSchepper covered the 12-lap route in 2:07.3 Bob Olson of Los Angeles finished third. Fourteen-year-old David Arends of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, holder of six American titles so far this year, set his second North American indoor speed skating record with a time of 0:224 in the juvenile boy's 220-yard final. Frances Degregoire of Edmon- ton won the juvenile girls class as she added to Thursday night's win in the 440-yard event by taking the 220-yard ahead of her only competi- tor, Carol Castella of Red Deer, Alta, Her time for the 220 was Dame chalked up his second rec- ord of the meet when he finished at 2:49.5 in the senior men's one- mile final. Bob Olson of Pasadena, Calif., was second. Arends added his second record of the 1953 meet in the juvenile boys' 220-yard event with a time of :22.4. The old record was :23.6. New Zealand Woman Scores Ninth "Ace" INVERCARGILL, N.Z. (Reuters) --Mrs. Frank Small's golf handi- cap was 17 one day last January when she dropped her first hole- in-one. Today, nine "aces" later, it is still 17. Mrs. Small, slightly built and in her 60s, teed off with her brassie on the 190-yard '"'Waihopi" hole of the local course here this week and watched her dfive fade toward the trap. Then she lost the ball in the sun, and when she got to the green she couldn't find it. "Must be in the cup," she wise- cracked, having sunk a hole-in-one earlier in the round. It was. Each of the golfing grand- mother's aces on the Queen's Park course, a flat 18-holer studded with trees and traps, has been wit- nessed. The first one came during a match, the others during friendly foursomes. The smiling New Zealander has no explanation for her fantastic string of shots. '""'An amazing un- accountable streak of luck," she calls it. Her favorite hole is the 114-yard one known as "Western Ho," where she has turned the trick four times. She has done it three times at the 190-yard "Waihopi" and once each at the 140-yard "Poly- gon" and 135-yard "Feldwick."

Cole, stick handling beautifully |1 BOSTON (AP) -- Lightweight champion Jimmy Carter knocked down courageous but futile Tommy Collins of Boston 10 times before being awarded a technical knock- out decision in 2:28 of the fourth round of their scheduled 15-round championship boxing bout Friday night at the Boston Garden. ons weighed 133%, Carter Starting out as the 2-1 favorite, the workman-like champion lost little time convincing the partisan Collins crowd that he was superior to the Boston idol in every respect. The aggressive Collins went down for the first time under a tremen- dous left to the jaw early in the Oakville's John Ross In Relay Victory PHILADELPHIA (AP)--The Uni- versity of Michigan's John Ross of Oakville, Ont., off a rush by the Wolverines successfully defen- ded their 2%-mile medley relay championship in the Penn relays. Dwyer, the indoor mile champion of last season, began the anchor mile leg a full 80 yards back of Ross, the big ten titleholder for the distance. The Villanova speed- ster- closed the gap steadily and collared Ross and Army's Louis Olive at the of the back stretch in the final lap. Ross had the staying power to survive the challenge, however, and won by five yards over Olive, giving Michigan the winning time of 10 minutes, 13.9 seconds.
