THE OSHAWA TIMES, Thursday, May 25, 1961 a BOSTON'S YASTRZEMSKI OUT-SLIDES N.Y 'S BLANCHARD SPORTS MENU CBCMayUse Cards Trump Dodgers, Giants On Top Perch By Geo. H. Campbell SPORTS EDITOR 'Everything From Soup To Nuts' OSHAWA TONY'S had to wait until their season's schedule was almost at the half-way mark before they were able to chalk up a home-diamond victory last season but last night they stepped right into the 1961 campaign, with the right foot forward. The newcomers to the Beaches Major League, Randall-Roy Metals, open- od the local season last night and in spite of the early season and late spring weather, there were about 300 fans on hand to see what proved a very snappy and well-played game, ending in a popular 3-1 victory for the Oshawa Tony's team. A couple of four-ply clouts, by Danny Price and Nick Mroczek, the first one coming with a mate aboard, accounted for Oshawa's three runs and "Ab" Deasley, the Randall-Roy pitcher, belted a triple to drive in one of his mates, for their orphan tally and so avoid the whitewash brush. The players seemed in mid-season form, even if they haven't had too much time to get ready for the opener. The pitching was very good, both Deasley and Oshawa's Al Sullivan were extremely stingy with "free tickets", each had a good share of strikeouts and in the defensive play, both clubs made some sparkling moves, with the rival short- stops and centre-fielders chiefly in the limelight. CITY AND DISTRICT Softball Association's double- header at Alexandra Park tonight brings MacLean's | Esso and Tony's Vendors together in the first game, at 6:30 o'clock and in the floodlight fixture, it'll be Scugog Cleaners vs Heffering's Imperials. As the Juniors and Heffering's each won their opening game on Tuesday, It means that when tonight's twin-bill is finished, there'll be an undefeated league-leader and one team in the cellar with two losses. Of course, in such a com- pact group, this really doesn't mean a great deal, since no doubt the standings will be shuffled about almost every week from now until the end of the season, unless, of course, one club can swing into a long winning streak and open up a lead that will stand up for the summer's campaign. As we see it, the teams are two evenly matched for this to happen and that means each club's cheering section is in for a lively and exciting season . RUGGER, Anyone ? Oshawa sports fans, those who know something about the game "rugger" and those who have only heard about it and would like to know more, get a real chance for plenty of action this Saturday after- noon. The first All-Ontario High School Rugger Tourn- ament, a seven-players per side .affair, will be held on the campus at Donevan Collegiate in Harmony, starting at 1:00 o'clock. There will be 22 teams competing -- seven of them from Oshawa. Other entries include Peterborough, Ajax, Aurora, King City, Thornbury, Delhi and Toronto. There are three categories--Bantam, Junior and Senior. If you want an afternoon of real action and entertainment--and watch a bunch of young husky athletes vigorously playing a game that is almost as rugged as Canadian football, while dressed only in uniforms similar to those worn by soccer players-- we suggest you take in this attraction. BABE RUTH quit baseball just 26 years ago today, on May 25, 1935. And those fabulous records established by the late 'Sultan of Swat' appear likely to stand for a long time yet--perhaps another quarter-century. The Bambino even quit with a flourish--he belted out three home runs in the last game he played for the Boston Braves, against Pittsburgh--and that was his swan song. In late years, Mickey Mantle came the closest to equal~ ling that mark of 60 homers in one season--a schedule season incidentally that had much fewer games than the teams play today. Since Ruth made his mark in the 1927 season, Jimmie Fox and Hank Greenberg both got 58 in a season, but the only man to come closer to 60 than these two was The Babe himself, who had 59 in another sea- son, 1921, The "Baseball greats" sprout, bloom and then fade away but none come close to the brilliance and stature of Babe Ruth. SPORTS IN BRIEF SIGNS WITH CARDS ST. LOUIS (AP) Kerry 1 DIXON SIGNS MONTREAL (CP) ~-- Half- 17, back George Dixon has signed his 1961 contract with Montreal Alouettes, rounding out a first string backfield for the Big Four football club, it was announced Wednesday night. Dixon, the 20th signing announced by the Als, s the 11th holdover. Last season his 108 points gave him second place in the league's scoring race. Don (Butch) McDaniel, brother of relief pitcher Lindy McDaniel of St. Louis Cardin- als, signed a bonus contract with the club Wednesday for a reported $50,000. He will be as-| signed to Winnipeg of the North-| ern League but will work out! here for the next week under the supervision of Howard Pol-| let, Cardinals pitching coach. | College Ball For Fall TV LONDON, Ont. (CP) -- The {CBC blocked in its attempts to televise Big Four football this fall, has made a bid to televise Senior Intercollegiate games, it was reported Wednesday night. Johnny Metras, athletic direc- tor of the University of West- ern Ontario, said negotiations are being conducted between |the CBC and the athletic direc- tors of the four universities in {the league, Western, McGill, |Queen's and Toronto. | Terms so far offered by the {CBC are not satisfactory to the |universities, Metras said. He |declined to give the terms. He said the CBC originated the 'talks, and two CBC offers have been turned down and counter-proposals made by the colleges.

Manager Al Lopez' old guys were shunned as a pennant crew, but still they figured to be challenging the leaders. The pitching staff, with Early Wynn, Billy Pierce, Cal Mec- Lish, Bob Shaw and Herb Score as starters, had more gray beards than fuzzy cheeks, but it still looked good enough with some hitting support. So what happens? The Sox tumbled from fourth to last with a seven - game slump, their longest in five years. And after winning six of nine, they now have lost seven of their last eight games--with no starter turning in a complete game. LOST FIVE STRAIGHT The White Sox dropped their fifth in a row at Baltimore Wed- nesday night as the Orioles twice came from behind for a 2-1 and 5-3 twi-night double- header sweep. That left Chicago just .007 percentage points shy of plunking back into the cellar, 1214 games out of first. Detroit, meanwhile, retained a 4% - game lead by beating Minnesota Twins 54 while Cleveland defeated last place Los Angeles Angels 7-1. It was the Indians' seventh success in eight games. New York beat Boston 3-2 and Kansas City knocked off Washington 6-5. The Orioles, just a half-game behind third place New York, beat Shaw in the opener on a tie-breaking homer by Gus Tri- andos in the seventh inning: Skinny Brown was the winner with a six-hit job as the Sox managed just one run for the fourth straight game. A home run also decided the nightcap. Ron Hansen's three- run shot brought the Birds from behind in the eighth after Lopez, who started reliever Russ Kem- merer out of desperation, threw in the three top men in his bull- pen brigade--Turk Lown, Frank Baumann and Gerry Staley. Lown put the tying run on base, Baumann, the loser, put on the winning run and Staley gave up the homer. Wes Stock won it with six-innings of three - hit shutout relief. SHUTOUT STRING BROKEN Al Kaline and Rocky Colavito each hammered home runs and drove in two runs for the Ti- gers. Both homers were off loser Camilo Pascual, who pushed his shutout string through 20 innings before Ka- line unloaded in the third. Don Mossi stayed unbeaten and won his fifth, but gave up a two-run homer by Zollo Ver- salles and needed Bill Fischer's relief to save it. Fischer got Harmon Kille- brew to hit into a doubleplay For 7th By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Two things stood out today in International League baesball-- the hitting of Buffalo's Tony Curry and the ,K way opposing pitchers are able to whitewash Toronto's defending champion Maple Leafs this season. and struck out Jim Lemon when he hurried in with two on and none out in ithe sevenj.

His homers were his sixth and seventh of the season. His blows drove in four tallies and both game off loser Jim Bronstad. Jim Frey and Bob Sadowski also smacked four-baggers for Buffalo. Toronto managed only four played since he was optioned May 15 to the Bisons by the pa- rent Philadelphia Phillies. He whacked a pair of home runs Wednesday night in leading Buf- falo to a 7-5 triumph over the Richmond Virginians. Toronto suffered its seventh shuotut of the campaign by bow- ing to the front-running Colum- bus Jets 4-0. Seven blankings in 31 games--this is the record of the defending champs. Charleston clung to second place a half game behind the Jets by nipping Rochester Red Wings 6-4.

Last place Philadelphia beat Milwaukee 7-1. Jackson, now 15-6 lifetime against the Dodgers, gave up eight hits and seven walks, but left a dozen Dodgers stranded. Relief ace Lindy McDaniel fi- nally nailed it, striking out Tommy Davis with the bases loaded in the ninth. Willie Davis drove in both Dodger runs, one with a homer. The sixth-place Cards, win- ning their second in a row, scored once in the first on Bill White's home run and then beat Roger Craig (3-3) with two in the second on singles by Stan Musial, Daryl Spencer and Alex Grammas and a force out by Hal Smith.

Metro licensing commission Wednesday asked the legal department to prepare a draft bylaw setting regulations for the operating of commercial trampoline centres. Among the questions the commission will consider are: Will people be allowed to eat while leaping, will they be re- quired to wear shorts and socks, and will compulsory rest periods be set up? James Neville Secretary of the commission, said the Ca- dian Medical Journal advises persons on trampolines against eating and suggests a minimum training period of 10 hours be required of begin- ners.
