@ THE OSHAWA TIMES, Thuredey, July 7, 1966 SPORTS BEAT By ERIC WESSLBY Times Sports Editor Playoffs are currently under way in the Oshawa Legion Minor Baseball Association, which may sound strange to many. However, leaguc officials feel the current plan will overcome problems encountered in other years, when the ball season stretched on and on, well past the opening of school in the fall. By getting playoffs over before most firms start their holidays, teams are thus assured of almost 100 per cent attendance at all games. And the players have not had a chance to lose their eagerness. The plan also gives the local all-star team coaches an opportunity to call practice sessions just before Ontario play- offs start, sometime-in mid-August. Trying to conduct-prac tices for players competing on city league teams can be a trying proposition, especially if the city coaches also want to practice. YOU CAN EXPECT a full weekend of ball in Oshawa this weekend. Acadian Cleaners have a busy schedule of games, playing at Kinsmen Stadium Friday and Saturday and at Lakeview Park Sunday afternoon, Legionnaire ban- tams play at Alexandra Park Friday evening, with Sklar midgets getting into action Saturday at Eastview Park and Sunday at Lakevtew ... Also on tap is the annual junior softball tournament at Alexandra Park, Saturday, bringing SCUGOGS WIN IN AJAX Blanks A four - run, three - hit ninth inning rally, preceded by a two- run homer, by Ken Brack and a three - hit pitching job by Don Calder, led Scugog Cleaners in their 6-1 win over Ajax Merch- ants in Oshawa City and Dist- rict Major Softball action Wed- nesday in Ajax. At home, at Alexandra Gales Lumber blanked General Tire, 12-0 on a brilliant one hit pitching effort by Reg White. Scugogs were held scoreless until the. seventh inning when) White's One - Hitter General Tire and J. Reeves each had one. Craig was the losing pitcher giving up 18 hits, walking one and striking out none. Ajax's only run came in the ninth inning as Reeves scored on an error to the second base- man aia a walk by A. Pope.

Ron Siblock got on base due an error by Ajax's third baseman, Rolland, and later scored on March's. single. March, Gibbens, Siblock and Brack all hit singles in earlier innings. Other hits for Scugog were picked up by Paul Parkinson, with four singles, while Barry Johnson hit one, only to be left on-in' the second inning: Although Calder fanned five) Brack hit his.two - run. homer, | batters, gave up five walks and) driving in H.

"A FAIR CROWD enjoyed Tuesday's Oshawa City and District Softball League doubleheader at Alexandra Park, with Scugog Cleaners turning in an impressive performance against Brooklin. Gales Lumber, meanwhile, continues to look like the class of the league and they should be tough when Ontario playoffs get under way. Players and fans who made the trip to Owen Sound last weekend for the softball tournament there might be interested in knowing that St. Clemence won the senior "B' title while Belleville won the intermediate 'A' tourney. TOURNAMENTS, BOTH FOR baseball and softball, are a big item in Saskatchewan, with some offering prizes of up to $500 for first place. Most of the top senior clubs in Saskat- chewan also go south of the border to compete in big tour- naments at Minot, N.D. and Plentywood, Mont. The two American tournaments also bring in top clubs from Manitoba, Alberta and many United States centres. Baseball tourna- ments, whiile not as profitable to the teams as the major fastball ones, are still enjoyable affairs, and, believe it or not, every player must pay to get into the grounds for 'the tournaments. The hall games are the highlights of the sports days at most of the small centres. BIGGEST BASEBALL tournament now is the one in con- function witth the annual Saskatoon Exhibition. It's a week- long affair that draws top crowds, despite the fact that Saskatoon teams are not allowed to enter competition, One of the entries last year was from Delisle, home town of the hockey - playing Bentley family, Doug Bentley didn't play, he restricted himself to coaching, but Max Bentley was certainly front and centre. Max, always a top competitor, was cavorting like a young colt in one game, clouting a triple, double and beating out two bunts for hits But even Max has to take a back seat when it comes to age. One catcher, Pete Prediger, has played in every tournament for the past 35 years, and he still hits the ball witth authority. i EVER WONDER HOW school teachers spend their sum- mers? Some go back to school, catching up on subjects which are constantly changing. Others just can't get away from students. Paul Wright and Bev Smith fall into the latter category. RBotth are involved witth tthe Oshawa Recre- ation Commission's summer projects, which includes track and field, baseball, lacrosse and tennis clinics, and play- grounds activities. Smith, although signed by Ajax in the | Oshawa City and District League, hasn't pitched yet this year, although he may get into the swing of things in | August. His presence would do much to help the Ajax | latter category. Both are involved with the Oshawa Recre- club, currently in the league basement. SPORTS IN SHORT | Under the three-hit pitching of Ron Wilson, 'People's Cloth- ing defeated Gen-Auto, 6-2, in City and District Juvenile Soft- ball action at Alexandra Park, Wednesday. People's went into a 2-0 lead in the third inning as_ Bill Taylor scored on a four-base error. A two-run homer by Wilson put them in a 3-0 lead as he drove in Bill Morrison who got on due a_ fielder's| choice, bill Taylor hit a double in the seventh to drive in John Hanson and Morrison after they had singled. Morrison's single came after he bunted down third base Other hits for People's came from Bob Came-| ron with a triple and Jim Spiers with a single. Wilson fanned 12 batters, gave up three hits and walked none for the win. Gen-Auto had hits from Bob White with a home run, Larry Galley with a double and Lynn Woods with a single.

(AP) iThree Rochester businessmen have purchased Rochester Americans of the American Hockey Teague from Toronto hand, and the ball flew at an angle across the fairway and bounced of a gasoline sign. Unable to swing the club, he was permitted to drop in bent grass behind a picket fence. An inspired wedge shot cleared the fence and landed on the green. Jack holed the 20-foot putt for his par. Nicklaus came home in 33, with three birdies. He-is the vavorite here at 7-2, although, this is the one major title he has never won. He was third at Lytham St. Anne's in 1963 and second to Tony: Lema at St. Andrew's in 1964. Hitchcock, who once went to a psychiatrist for putting jit- ters, is apparently cured. He bought a new putter Tuesday and holed out brilliantly from 15 feet on the seventh, 17 feet on the 15th and 12 feet on the 17th for birdies.

The loss spoiled the Redmen's chance of taking over a share of first place in the league standings when Brampton downed the front-running Tor- onto Maple Leafs 9-6, in the other schedule game, last night. - Peterborough took 16 of the 25 penalties handed out by the officials but did not appear to suffer from the man-shortage, and they won the game in the third period, while enjoying the man-adyantage. They scored final stanza, to break up a tense 10-all ball game. GOALIE INJURED Lady luck just .was not with the Redmen for last night's encounter, as their regular goalie, Gary Drysdale, was in-| jured at the 11:10 mark of the first period. He was replaced jby Merv Marshall of the Osh- jawa Green Gaels. Marshall | played well but appeared to be down too much on some shots. The game had all the ear- marks of being a_ brother against-brother points race, as the Davis boys, Johnny, of Peterborough 'and Terry, of Brooklin, picked up a total of 13 points for the night. Younger Johnny got the better of the exchange, with seven points, on, - three goals and four assists. Terry had three-and-three for ja fine night's effort. Besides the three by Davis, Ken Ruttan, a former Brooklin player, also had a trio. Bill Armour and Terry Downer each had a pair, with singles \going to Tim O'Grady, Roy Wood and Jim Vilneff. Ruttan's second goal of the game proved to be the game-winner. He added the clincher, mid-way through the final stanza. Brooklin got their total from goals at 3:17 and 4:43 of the) Two Goals Pepsis' Edge Over Redmen and aces by Dave O'Brien, Ken Lotton, Red Crawford and Graham Gair.

A pair of fast ones in the first four minutes made the difference. JUST-TALKING.......The._in- jury to Drysdale may be worse than at first expected.
