40 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE, Saturday, August 3, 1958 ~ APPARENTLY THIS Last Tuesday night at the Oshawa Arena, the main bout between Whipper Billy Watson and Lord Athol Layton wound up in a wild scene of disorder when Fred Atkins and Don Leo Jona- thon, seim-final bout opponents of earlier in the evening, leaped into the ring fully clothed, to take sides in the argument--which little Sammy Goddard, referee, couldn't stop. The above picture shows what happened on Tues- . day night, as Jonathon steered Atkins into Layton in a head-on crash. This week, the boys are FRACAS IS TO BE CONTINUED going to come into the ring in esting trunks, ready for ac- tin, for it's to be a team bout to settle the above argument, with Atkins teaming up with Lord Athol Layton to take on Jona- thon and Whipper Watson. Times-Gazette Staff Photo. HANRAHAN FANS 10 For the first time in ten chances and the first time this summer, Oshawa Merchants climbed over the .500 mark in the Inter-County Senior Baseball League race, when they defeated St. Thomas Elgins here 9-2 last night. Bill Hanrahan pitched the vic- tory for the Mérchants, his fourth of the season, scattering seven hits and striking out ten batters. HAD GREAT SPLURGE Oshawa had three errors and none of them appeared in the ac- tual scoring. Hanrahan actually coasted along until the fifth when a walk and single, plus sacrifice put two in scoring position with only one out. With his shutout threatened, he fanned the next two batters. He did the same thing after a walk and single in the sixth -- fanned the last two bat- ters, struck out the side in the 7th and following a walk and one strikeout in the 8th, had fanned nine batters out of the dozen he had faced. And the 8th inning brought trouble to Hanrahan--the only real trouble he had all night. Three singles plus a forge-out, followed his 9th strikeout as St. Thomas Elgins scored twice and threatened to really rally. Fred Wasiluk drew a w to load the bases and pinch - hitter Harvey Nicholson was the potential "tying run" when he came to the plate but SPORTS MENU 'Everything from Soup to Nuts" by Geo. H. Campbell SPORTS EDITOR For the first time this summer, Oshawa Merchants moved over the .500 mark in the Inter-County sen- jor baseball league, when they de- feated St. Thomas Elgins 9-2 here last night. It was a bangup ball game, a special treat for at least 15 fans who received special at- tendance prizes, with the young lad who got "Butch" Lawing's home-run ball being the happiest kid in Oshawa last night -- or today. Butch Lawing made base- ball history for Oshawa last night when he belted one right over the centre-field wall, dead centre from home plate, a distance (official) of 375 feet plus a 10foot wall. We figure the ball travelled a good 400 feet in the air -- and it landed finally in the Oshawa Creek. It was recovered, Butch autographed it and it was the final and most coveted prize in last night's big draw. Bill Hanrahan struck out §- out - of -12 batters, midway through last night's game. All told, he fanned 10 of the Elgins but for about four innings, he was red-hot. In the 8th the visi- tors bunched three runs and a walk for two runs as Hanrahan weakened. Elgins had the bases loaded too when pinch - hitter Harvey Nicholson grounded out out to Herman Mason. That was the only anxious moment in the ball game for Hanrahan. The rest of the time he was in charge. Extra-base blows told the story. Jimmie Jones had three RBI's with two lusty triples, he drove in the first Oshawa run. Jimmie scored three times himself too, which is something and Butch Lawing, with his homer and a double, also had three RIBI's while Johnny Imbra was next in line with a double and a single. At the plate, Merchants had a big night and were full value for their victory. Kitchener defeat- ed Guelph 5-1 last night while Wat- erloo whipped Brantford and Lon don Majors defeated Galt Terriers. We see by the paper that Kennie Yount, the liste who went from Oshawa to Guelph, has.been named team manager, succeeding George D'Addario. Oshawa Merchants play St. re at Kinsmen Stadium again tonight. s "Ladies Night" tonight -- hich dmitted free tonight, Normie Brioux and Ted Race are going to team up to battle with Ted Hogan and George Bow- ers in a team race. On top of that, Ted Gilbert is going to do his death-defying roll-over stunt, de- liberately turning his car over, by means of a ramp. Oh yes there's a regular program of stock car races also. It looks like one of the biggest nights of the season at Oshawa Raceways. On Tuesday night, they've got a special attrac tion booked, the Pinecrest Speed- ay drivers vs. the Stock Car Club rivers, from Oshawa and CNE, Toronto. Najo Singh and Timothy Geo- hagen are wrestling in the main bout of Tuesday night's wrestling card here at the Oshawa Arena. This looks like one of the biggest nights of the year, with three featured bouts. Singh and Tim- othy in the semi-final will be Jreceeded by a couple of TV avorites, Don Lewin and Dan O'Connor, who are seen out of Buffalo quite a bit. In the main bout, of course, Tuesday night sees Don Leo Jonathon teaming up with Whipper Billy Watson to take on Fred Atkins and Lord Athol Layton. BRIGHT BITS: Don't look now but we haven't heard the last of that hockey meeting which was held this last week. Things are al- together too quiet and orderly -- and that'll never do. Somebody will be stirring up something, in the very near future -- and we suspect that "very near future" is a hock- ey centre located in the province of Quebec too! . . . P. H.

Tilt In an exhibition lacrosse game at Brooklin on Thursday evening the Oshawa C.R.A. All-Stars over- powered the home team 16-0. The Brooklin team were much smaller but had had much more practice. In the early part of the game Brooklin showed a desire to mix it up and looked as if they were going to keep Oshawa from scor- ing. Late in the first quarter Osh- awa broke loose with Bradica, Williams and Newey scoring. In the second quarter the All- Stars made it 6- 0 with O'Neil, Boddy and Newey doing the hon- ours this time. Bradica and Gam- bel mixed it up and were quickly given major penalties. In the third quarter Williams scored two goals and Jackman and Simcoe got singletons. Williams goal was the best of the night. He took a pass from Brady and out- ran the whole Brooklin team to the goal. Ash, the Brooklin goalie, came way out to block the shot but Willlams faked him right out of his pads before he sunk the goal behind him. Leading 10-0 the Oshawa team ran wild in the last quarter. Brady, Simcoe, Williams, Jackman, O'Neil and Simcoe again did the scoring to make the final score 16-0. For the Oshawa team, Williams, Brady and O'Neil played good ball on the forward lines while the whole four defencemen, Kicinko, Jackman, Newey and Simcoe were sensational. Gambel and J. Norrish were very good for Brooklin. BROOKLIN: Goal-C. Ash; def.- K. Gambel; J. Norrish; forwards- M. Gray, T. Gray; rover-M. Ross; centre, B. Briggs; alternates, R. Norrish, Davies, G. Hunter, B.

Upsets Feature In Ontario Amat By PETER REILLY Canadian Press Staff Writer BRANTFORD (CP)-- Only two members of Ontario's 1952 Willing- on Cup team survived quarter- final round match play here Fri- day to enter today's semi-finals of the Ontario amateur golf cham- pionship. In one of two upsets Friday Ted Holmes of the host Brantford Golf and Country club eliminated .Keith Kirkpatrick, a member of last year's Willingdon Cup entry one up on the 19th hole. Holmes, who injured his back during the Second World War and was not expected to play again, won when Kirkpatrick, who over- shot the green on his second shot, INTERCOUNTY STANDINGS means ladies are provided they are accompanied iby a cash-paying male escort. A win over St. Thomas. here to- night will put the Merchants up closer to London or Brantford -- in the bid for fourth spot and a playoff berth. Merchants big test comes this mext week -- three games with Waterloo Tigers, up there in Waterloo on Monday night and back here on Wednes- day and Thursday. If Merchantg could sweep all three of these games--they'd be right up there in fourth spot; tied with the Tig- ers or better. It's a tough row, the Oshawa Cab has to hoe, but another win at the Stadium to- night over St. Thomas will be just that much more help. The July winner of the Burns' Jewel- fers "most popular player" dia- mond ring award, will be an- nounced tonight. r Out at the Oshawa Raceways BASEBALL 8 P.M. Kinsmen Memorial Stadium ST.

Holmes' second shot landed on the front of the green, and he two-putted for a par four. In the other shakeup, veteran Phil Farley of Toronto Scarboro, who didn't feel well during both rounds Friday, lost out on the 16th joen to 23-year-old Grant Shirk of itchener. Shirk, whose father was caddy- ing for him, played well, taking advantage of his good short game to outlast Farley, who has won the Ontario amateur more than anyone else, with six victories since the tournament was inaug- urated in 1923. Nick Weslock of Windsor elim- inated the sole remaining Toronto player, Kenny Jacobs of Scarboro, 4 up on the 15th. The red-trousered Jacobs advanced into the quarter- final round on the strength of a win Quarter-Finals eur Golf Play on the 20th green over fellow Tor- ontonian Sonny Adams in the morning round. Weslock was three under par when the match ended. He birdied the second, 13th and the final holes. Despite his loss, Jacobs showed occasional flashes of bril- liance. On the 13th he holed a 35- footer for a birdie. Gerry Kesselring of Kitchener, still the choice to win the title for the third year in a row, eliminated Moe Norman, also of Kitchener with a comparatively easy 4 and-3 win, * Kesselring kept up his par- smashing pace with an eagle and three birdies. However, he finished only one stroke under at the 15th due to extra strokes on the first and fourth holes and two extra on the 10th, when his second shot wound up tangled in the roots of a tree. Gerry used a putter to get out of that one, and took a six on the par-four hole. One of the nicest shots all day was a trip-shot by Holmes on the seventh. His drive on the par-three hole imbedded itself in the sand ust below the lip of a trap to,the eft of the green. Holmes had to stand on a hill to get at the ball, and the slope made his footing treacherous. He reached out and blasted to within six feet of the hole, then dropped his putt for a par-three. Today's semi-final draw sends Kesselring against Grant Shirk and Weslock against Holmes.

Merchants struck back for three runs on as many hits off Tommy White, relieving pitcher -- and that cinched their victory, right there. EXTRA-BASE HITS COUNT Aside from Hanrahan's good pit- ching, Oshawa Merchants won the game on extra-base clouts. Jimmie Jones had two triples to pile up three RBI's and he .scored three times himself besides. His triple in the 8th climxed Oshawa's final splurge, coming after Fran Dyson had walked and Ronnie Ryba singl- ed -- and with two out. Herman Mason's single scored Jones, who triples in the third to score Han- rahan with Oshawa's first run, Jones coming home himself when the relayed throw was missed at the plate. "Butch" Lawing also had three RBI's. He doubled in the 7th to score Jones and Turk, who had both walked but his big hit of the night was a mammoth 400 - foot homer in the 4th inning, a flow that cleared the centre-field wall, dead away from home plate. It the wall has ever been cleared by a home-run ball ir the Stadium's four-year history. Johnny Imbra was close to Law- ing and Jones for hitting honors. Lawing had a homer and double had a double and single. BIG WORKOUT TOMORROW Oshawa Red Raiders The Oshawa Red Raider Foot- ball Club will hold a very im- portant workout this Sunday morn- ing at the Clubhouse on McMillan Drive and all prospective players are asked to be on hand at 10a.m. when Line Coach Alex. Khnisky will start the ball rolling. While quite a few of the local players are away on holidays, a good number of players have been turning out from Toronto and Sun- day's practice shmould see a re- cord number. Bill Smith, former C.R.A. Dir- ector has been putting the boys through the P.T. sessions, and from all indications, this will be the best conditioned club the Red Raiders have ever fielded. Incid- entally, the same Bill Smith has decided to try to catch a spot with the local team and is one of the leading contenders for the quarter- back spot. PLENTY OF MATERIAL While the signal calling position has always been a week spot with the Red Raiders, so far this year they have had five players trying out for the spot and Ceach Jack Wedley will have his hands full trying to narrow the job down to two players. While the Red Raiders back field would appear to be very strong with a large number of Tor- onto boys trying very hard to catch on, Line coach Khinisky is still looking for some more line material and anyone in the district who has had experience and would like to try out this year would be given a very warm reception. Canada's Richest Harness Race Today TORONTO (CP)--Canada's rich- est harness horse race, the $7,500 Canadian Cup, is to be held at Thorncliffe Raceway today. Virtually every harness man in the country is willing to concede that Argyel Grattan will win-- he's been barred from the betting --except his owner, Dunc Camp- bell of Ailsa Craig. "Get away from here with that thing," Campbell admbnished a photographer Friday as the cam- era man endeavored to take a picture of Argyel with the statu- esque Canadian Cup. "Until we win it--if we win it--nobody's gonna take no pictures of that horse with that cup." STARTED LADIES' DAY NEW ORLEANS (AP) --Abner Powell, who originated the base- ball rain check and ladies' day, died Friday. He was 92. In 1887 as player-manager of New Orleans Pelicans, he introduced the rain check because "we were losing money after rainy days then by giving tickets to those who jumped the fence or came in on passes." He started ladies' day in 1887. Expect Banner Year While Pres. F. Dufton of the Cobourg Galloping Ghosts has started to call Cobourg practises in Ajax as an economy measure, all Ajax players who played for Oshawa last year are still bound to the local club and so Cobourg will not be able to sign these players. Incidentally, it is rumour- ed that all is not well financiall in the Cobourg Club and with Oshawa Red Raiders now having affiliated with Regina, Cobofirg may easily become the poor sis- ters of the league in place of Oshawa. Wilf Britton, Program Chairman of the Red Raiders, along with Harry Robertson and Chas. March are getting the program into shape and already have surpassed last year's sales. Joe Victor and Arne Greene have been waging a nice campaign to put over the sales of shares in the club and they too are quite confident that this venture will be successful. All in all, the destinies of the Red Raiders would appear to be on the verge of new successess, and with Cach_ Jack Wedley get- ting down to serious practice the next few weeks, the Red Raiders will be all set for the opening game in the first week in Sept- ember. TO PLAY AT PARK As an experiment, the Red Raid- ers will schedule the first few home games in Alexandra Park in an effort to get the fans more inter- ested in the game. It is felt that with the bleachers along the side- lines and one side reserved for cars in order that the drivers may see the local game as well as keep in touch with their radios for out-of-town games, Alexandra Park may well regain the popularity it once had as a rugby field. All players and any fans who would like to watth the workouts are once again reminded of the Sunday morning practise at 10 a.m. with future practises being sched- uled for Monday, Tuesday and was the first time this portion of | Be while Jones had two triples.
