CHECKING SPORT By BOB RIFE The Transporters played it almost too smart on Saturday, giving away chance after chance to get the winning runs against Whitby in the early innings, before com- ing through in the last of the eighth to win 4-3. As far as the fans could see it looked like a lot of runners being caught by the unerring arm of catcher Gord Hanna of the Whitbys. Such was the case . . . though the business of two batters in succession stand- ing like wooden soldiers on hit- and-run plays when they should have been swinging to protect the runner . . . made things much worse. The runner was a dead duck . and not through any fault of his own or the coaches. Ah well, the boys produced in the clutch and thrilled the gallery and they 'made their 11th win without a defeat one to remember. We just hope it isn't going to the club's head. They meet the ready - for -argument Co- bourg Legionnaires at the Stadium tonight at 8.00 p.m. in a game that Ab Walker (man- ager of the Transporters) says will start "at that time sharp." . What with wet grounds, team arrivin| late and umpires doing the same, the Transport- er Fames have sometimes been a little on the delayed side. But tonight will be different. Yeah . . . it'll probably be calléd off on account of rain. Ooooh, nooo! CHECKLETS -- We hear with some regret that Bill Me- Tavish, powerful right-hand pit- cher . with the Transporters this season, has decided to hang up his cleats. 'Pressure of business," says Bill. His record for the season was a good one. He had a win in his lone start . . . and that a 3-0 two-hit thriller over those same Whitby Merchants right in Whitby. His departure leaves the Trans- porters with three hurlers . . . Ted Stone (4W-OL), Jack Dur- ston (3W-OL) and Bill Ging- erich (3W-OL). Ab Gilbert is studying at GM Tech in Flint and so won't be available . . . and the Cec Hall matter is still not cleared up. : So it looks like the pitchers will get the extra work that they so badly wanted . . . and needed! Say, the best catch of the year was recorded by "Crabby" Jozkoski at thirdbase in that Whitby game Saturday night. He leaped high . . . al- most two feet off the ground to stretch and grab Junior Guye's line smash in the third in- ning. The out ended a very dangerous rally. CHRISTEN BROTHERS ed Oshawa Cricket Club why he is to be one of the men on the Canadian team that will tour Eng- land next year. The lanky pace bowler took full advantage of a slow-pulling wicket at Lakeview Park 10 smash down seven Osh- awa wickets for only 21 runs. His brother, Bill, bowling from the other end took care of the remaining wickets. The two Chris- tens caused Oshawa to drop their first exhibition game out of five | played so far this year. The local eleven struggled hard to catch up the 50 made by Dovercourt, which is one of the best teams in On- tario's top leagues, the Continental. The last local batsmen came out when the scoreboard stood at 45-- and the match was lost by the narrow margin of five runs. Ar- thur Sargent, with 12, was the only Oshawa bat to reach double | figures. | | Oshawa's attack kept up its drive {and had two of Ontario's best {batsmen out for only one run. J.' | year-old B.

Again the Oshawa attack, led this time b Ted Harris and Jock McDonald, proved too much for the visitors and they litapally wilted under a barrage, backed up by outstanding fielding. Dowty"s which batted first only managed to rattle up 21 runs and five of their players made "ducks". Dick Brimmell, the team's secretary, opened for Osh- awa and after a cautious two overs opened up and crashed up 38 runs within a few minutes. In one over he battered some loose bowl- ing from D. Hawkins for 17 runs. Partnered by Jim Brown, a stylish Ajax member of the local club, Brimmell almost doubled Dowty's score before being caught by 14- ing his first game of cricket since landing in Canada. Oshawa went on to make 104 runs -- the second week in suc- tury mark. High scorers were Len Harric with 22, John Huband, 12, Al Haley 12 and Art Sargent 9.

The Miss Fits wasted no time finding their batting eyes as they clicked for seven runs in the first frame. Jim Tilling, pitcher for the 88 No. 6 crew, deserved a better plate in the game but the Miss Fits found his pitching to their lik- ng and got hits off him. ill Smith started off the inning with a smash to deep centre only to get thrown trying to stretch it into an extra base. Jimmy Clause John Randle, Jack Goodhall, Mel Suddard, Charlie Marsh all hit well for the winners. Marsh hit a hom- er in the second and Suddard one in the sixth.
