# THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE, Tuesday, August 4, 1058 MAY HAVE OTHER IDEAS Milwaukee Are Probably Wishing Russ Meyer Had d Stayed With Phils By BEN PHLEGAR Associated Press Sports Writer This be an appropriate might , time to wonder what Steve O'Neill |- ' thinks now of that roundabout winter trade that sent Russ Meyer from Philadelphia to Brooklyn by way of the Braves. The Phillies' ' manager at the time pooh-poohed the idea that Brooklyn had traded itself into the pennant. But with the season two- thirds gone, the temperamental righthander's 11-4 record would look mighty good on the Phils' pitching roster, which seems to consist almost solely of Robin Rob- erts. You can bet your bottom dollar the Braves wince every time they yemember they engir ered the Meyer threw his second straight shutout at the Braves Monday night in Milwaukee, winning 1-0 in seven rain-soaked innings. He's beaten them four times this season against one setback. The victory moved Dodgers 8% games ahead of Be er Milwaukee in the Na- tional League pennant race. Philadelphia, in a fast and in- volved. deal gave the Braves Meyer in exchange for first base- man Earl Torgeson and cash and then shipped the' pitcher to Brook- lyn for infielders Jim Pendleton and Rocky Bridges. Bridges was swapped immediately to Cincinnati as part-payment for first baseinan Joe Adcock. Meyer not only pitched a shut- out Monday night, he also batted in the winning run with a single in the seventh inning. Brooklyn has Co Milwaukee 11 out of 15 games so far, including all six played in Milwaukee. At Washington Billy Pierce of Chicago White Sox gave two hits in a 1-0 triumph over Johany Schmitz and the Senators. At Cin- cinnati Joe Nuxhall of the Redlegs limited Pittsburgh to five hits in winhing 5-0. In other major league action St. Louis Cardinals whipped Philadel phia 83 and climbed within half a game of the third-place Phils and New York Yankees smothered St. Louis Browns 11-3. Pierce's shutout was the fourth straight scoreless game in the Washington-Chicago series, which the two clubs split. Nuxhall was given a two-run lead in the first inning and a com- fortable margin in the fourth when Andy Seminick homered with one ard al he Cardinals routed Jim Kon- stanty with four runs in the first and added three more in the second inning. Red Schoendienst scored two runs with a triple and two singles. Wilmer Mizell coasted' with a scoreless three-hitter until the ninth when the Phils rallied with a two-run pinch hit homer by Connie Ryan. The Yankees maintained their five-game margin in the American League by battering St. Louis pitching for 18 hits. Whitey Ford won his 1%th game against four defeats. . BASEBALL .

But, as s n as the vacation is over the matches will be commencing again. Eefore the members left for the holiday-sea- son the parting words were usually "Play you that match in two weeks time."

IMPORTANT VICTORY Oshawa's Cricket 11 Wins Over Avro 'AR' At Toronto Oshawa Cricket Club registered an important League victory against their arch-rivals Avro A in Toronto on Saturday. Of their two league matches this year the teams have wen one each and both have some of the strongest bowling in the league. It was the bowling that held the key to the success on a tremend- ously fast wicket at Parkdale. Avro were put in to bat first after Oshawa captain Al Haley won the | arr: toss. Fielding chances were missed despite some alert work by John Huband, who was deputizing in the wicket-! -keeper's position "and Avro pushed the score up to 66 before they were all out, D. Daint- eth and Frank Kelley, the popular skipper, both reached double fig- YOUNGEST PLAYER SHINES Peter Staples, the youngest member of Osh C.C., had him- who are taking their holidays in the Muskoka region.

Taking 'over from the veteran bowlers he put down five almost unplayable overs -- three of them maidens -- and sent the stumps of three batsmen hurtling through the air. One of the wickets was shattered with such force that a bail flew over 140 feet. Staples' average was four wickets for 12 runs. Len Harris' cunning slow deliveries confused the Avro men, who are used to pace bowling, and he got three men for only five runs. Oshawa batsmen got off to a-poor start with Jock McDonald and Hal- ey losing their wickets with only 9 runs on the board. Huband then joined in a partnership with Johnny | Cluff, a former Oshawa player | who was on vacation in the city from his bank work in Tillsonburg. | Undaunted by the fastest balls | the Avro men could sling down the indomitable pair batted beautifully to raise the score to 48 before being parted. Cluff, who was once Oshawa's opening batsmen, proved he has not lost any skill by scoring 17, and Huband went on to make 19. Then the seemingly inevitable Oshawa rot set in as Kelly got on top of the batsmen and crashed down three quick wickets to make the score 63 for seven. For minutes the game was hanging in the bal- ance -- together with its valuable six league points. BRIMMELL CLINCHES IT Dick Brimmell went in ninth and, partnered by Jim Brown, of Ajax, lashed Kelly's final ial, over for the necessary three runs.
