L. McDougald, last SPORTS MENU By Geo. H. Campbell SPORTS EDITOR "Everything From Soup To Nuts' OSHAWA finished third yesterday! "Oshawa", in this instance is a horse that was running in the third Face at Old Woodbine track yesterday and since there aren't many prizes for finshing %hird (2.60 for show) we'll have to admit we really only had two reasons for mentioning the fact. One was to point out that "Oshawa" is owned by "Jim" Fleming of this city and to let those of our readers who never follow the gee- gees, know that there really is a horse called "Oshawa". Old Country soccer fans are a-buzzing these days, over the approaching visit of the famous Scottish team, Heart of Midlothian and the equally famous English club, Manchester United. The "United", known through- out Britain as "Busby's Babes", are one of England's most colorful clubs, Eight of their star players, to- gether with several club officials and English soccer writers, died in that tragic plane crash at Munich, back in 1958. But manager Matt. Busby, known for years as one of the great beosters of young soccer talent, promptly brought up several youngsters and the very next season, they reached the FA Cup final. Matt. Busby and most members of the Manchester team, will be here in Oshawa on Friday, guests of General Motors, for a tour of the plant, luncheon, tour of Nation- al Stud Farm and a reception at the Officer's: Mess (Armories) later in the day. The Hearts will also be in Oshawa Friday, on the same jaunt. The "Hearts" are one of the romantic clubs of the Scottish League. They are reported to have one of the largest and most enthusiastic following of faith- ful fans of any soccer team in Great Britain. These two clubs open their North American tours at Varsity Sta- dium on Saturday evening. Oshawa and District Soc- eer Association officals have tickets for this "dream game" and they have also arranged special bus trans- portation for those requiring it. Students of the game are of the opinion that this game Saturday night in Toronto could be the keenest and best of the entire tour. Not just because it will be the first meeting of the tour but also because Manchester defeated Hearts in Toronto, when they met previously and for that matter, no Scottish team, according to information given, has ever won one of these special tour games in Toronto. BRIGHT BITS: Oshawa's representatives in the Leaside Junior Baseball League, the J. J. Wilkinson Co. Juveniles, will sport handsome new white uniforms when they open the league schedule and season to- morrow night, at Talbot Park, against Moore Drugs. Saturday's scheduled "opening game" there was rain- ed out. . . . JIM PIERSALL, Cleveland Indians outfield- er, has given a job as groundskeeper to a Springhill miner, who has been idle since the cave-in disaster in 58. . . . ROOKIES, many showing real promise, are plentiful among the line-ups of the Big League baseball teams this season. . . . HERB ELLIOTT; world's record holder for the mile run, on his way to California for several U.S. track meets, hasn't any high hopes for himself. He fears he will make a poor showing, due to a strained ligament in his foot. . . . DON DRYSDALE, ace of the Los Angeles' pitching staff, figures the L.A. ball park "The Coliseum" is a jinx park to him. He hasn't won a game at home against Giants, Braves or Pirates. It's got him down so much that he has said since he cannot win in the Coliseum, the Dodgers should trade him. Long as Don wins for Dodgers away-from= home, the L.A. management will be quite happy. . . 1960 YEARLING SALE will be held this year at the CNE, during the "Ex", instead of at either of the Wood- bine tracks. DON DILLARD has been sent by Cleveland, on option, to Toronto Leafs. NEW YEAR'S DAY, this next time, falls on a Sunday and it's expected most "Bowl Games" will be played on the Monday, Jan. 2. Already several of the main games have been set for that date. Joe Adcock Gets Hospital Reprieve YESTERDAY'S STARS | which Cleveland won 5-1.

They have a modest, four- '|game victory string going but a 1%-game lead in the National League race.

DROUGHT ENDS Colavito the slugger Detroit got from Cleveland in an effort to avoid such things as a 10- game losing streak, broke up a three-hit shutout by Washington's Tex Clevenger (1-1). [At was Rocky's fourth home run, all in victories, and the 14th by the Ti- gers, who hit 11 while winning their first five games, then man- aged but two in the plunge. Mossi struck out seven hand walked just one for his first vic- tory in three decisions. He gave Cubs Have New Type Of Streak '5-In-Row, Rain CHICAGO (AP)--The Chicago Cubs had one of their longest straight bad weather postpone- ments. "Enough is enough," said Lou Boudreau, whose debut as the club's new manager was marred 9-7 last Thursday by the Pittsburgh Pirates. Boudreau hasn't had a chance since to try to start the Cubs climbing out of the National League cellar. Rain washed out their entire three - game series with Mil- waukee, plus a re - scheduled Monday date with the Braves, and Tuesday's opener of a three-game set with the hot Cincinnati Reds. "We needed a few days off because our pitching staff was suffering from arm fatigue," said Boudreau, "That rain looked pretty good then. But now--it's too much. I'm afraid we might get stale." Today's forecast was clearing by afternoon. The league record for suc- cessive postponed games is nine, set by the Phillies in 1903. for Springhill Miner Finally Gets Job, From Jim Piersall SPRINGHILL, N.8.
