CHECKING ON SPORT Vv That was quite a ball fame that Lindsay and Oshawa Transporters staged at the Stadium on Saturday night. The Merchants, fresh from their tremendous upset win (3-0) over Whitby Frid might were ready for the battle. The Trans; rs had just returned from Bowmanville where they claimed a 12-5 win over the Roses. They were a bit tired. If they'd known they were in fpr a four-hour, 13-inning marathon pitcher's battle, we wontler what would have heen the comments as the boys hit arial the in Certainly not pper in- field chatter that ivy the fans' fancy. Looking back over that 3-2 win, the thing that stuck in our mind was the two entirely opposite brands of baseball ex- hibited. The careful defensive style of the Lindsay (Pelerboro Mar- ines) Merchants and the devil- take-the-hindmost offense of the locals. Each time the Merchants got a man on first base they al- most automatically tried to sacrifice him to second. When the Transporters got a man on, it *vas either a steal or 8 hit- ana-run play. And there are those who'll tell you that it was this youth- ful brashness of the MeCallum crew that caused the Lindsay old pros to boot the ball around and commit the errors that settled the game. For the record, the Trans- porters stole seven bases against Al Menzies, a guy who was considered some shucks of a senior catcher two ears . . . even last year with eterboro Marines. Mike McArthur certainly had the e on last Bath Night. Mike had one steal reg- istered against him and offén- sively hit .800, 3-for-8. It pulled is average up to .562 for the season. He thus leads the team and a [ t on said mark Tight be, WOW!!!

CHECKLETS -- From what we hear around and about, Brian Coggins will be dressing with the nsporters in the very near future. That will give the locals three secondbase- man . . . all fine hitters. Bill KfMar hit .405 last year. Fred Etcher belted out a .394 clip last time out and Brian Coggins was a .310 batter in his last big season. Evidently the chants were a club on Friday night. Lindsay whitewashed them 5-0 and used centre-fielder Joe Lowry as © their winning pitcher. Joe tossed "garbage" as they say in the trade . . . strictly spot. pitching, curving 'em, knuckling 'em . . . killing 'em. When the enemy 'hit his - mates, who were playing bril- liant defensive ball, backed him with a vengeance. Joe was on a hot streak hel Saturday night too . . . as a hit- ter. He connected three times in five trips to lead both clubs. Big Blll MeTavish, fireball right-hander with the Toronto Minor Baseball Association champion Transporters of 1851, was working in the bullpen dur- ing Saturday's fray. * According to reports from the high brass, he's looking his sharpest in many seasons. ... ... His appearance, makes a to- tal of five pitchers on the Transportes staff at present. And that doesn't include Cec Hall, the much-disputed Col- borne product.

Colborne have participated in so few games no one has a good line on their talent. It is known that they lost by a very close score to Whitby, and should be recommen- dation en considering the Merchants reign on top of the loop. we remember sumresny score was 3-0 for County Town.

Arthur King fights Armand Savoie tonight for the Canadian lightweight title he held before he left Toronto to campaign out of Philadelphia. The promoters claim the British Em- pire lightweight title also will be at stake. King, who had the Canadian title taken from him for failing to de- fend it after he left Toronto for the United States, is favored over the title-holding: Montrealer. Should Savoie confound the experts, how- ever, there are those in the fight- ing world who won't recognize him as the new British Empire champ- ion, namely the British' boxing board of control. The board said Thursday it took King's Empire title from him last September ai d it rec- |o nizes Frank Johnston of Man- chester as the champ as a result his knockout of Australian title. {holder Frank Flannery. y | King disagreed; promoter Frank Tunney shrugged off the board's | pronouncement. |" "I've never been beaten for the | title," King said.

The Royals took both ends of a Sunday doubleheader from . their arch-rivals, 4-3 and 4-1. Righthander Ed Roebuck went the route for the winners in the initial contest, allowing only four hits for his sixth victory against one loss. Lefty Ken Lehman pitched five- hit ball in the abbreviated night- cap, Equalling Roebuck's won-and- lost 'ormance. Cuban outfielder Sandy Amoros blasted a homer and a double in three times at bat. The Leafs won the Saturday fame 5-2, Tapping three Montreal ers for hits. Lou Sleater gave up eight safeties for his second win against as many losses. lead over Rochester Red Wings, who jumped back into second place ahead of Toronto by taking two of \SEASON OPENER Alliston Athletics Edge I Brooklin Lacrossers 9-8 By LYLE STEVENSON © A near - capacity crowd packed _ the Brooklin Arena on Saturday night to witness the closest and most interesting lacrosse game to { open the season in Brooklin in 3 years.
