16 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Wednesday, June 12, 1963, SPORTS MENU By Geo. H. Campbell SPORTS EDITOR 'Everything From Soup To Nuts' CITY AND DISTRICT softball fans who showed up at Alexandra Park last night, were privileged to see another sparkling doubleheader with Bad Boy Appliance knocking off Heffering's Imperiais, 7-3, and MacLean's Esso winning @ clean-cut verdict over Scugog Cleaners Juniors. MacLean's grabbed off a half-dozen runs in the first inning against Scugogs afd then made that stand up for a comfortable win by virtue of a solid defensive play and an attack that added to the total, as they went along. In the other game, Hickey stopped Bad Boys almost completely for seven innings and then he ran out of gas -- With Bad Boys scoring two runs in the 8th to tie the score and five in the 9th to put the game on ice. Games in the Northern Division of the City and Dis- trict Assoc. were rained out last night, both Brooklin and Port Perry being unable to get their diamonds in shape, following Tuesday night's rain -- which was heavier back near the ridges, than down this way. x x x x MAJOR LEAGUE baseball results yesterday served to add more interést to the current red-hot pennant races that are being waged in both the American and National League cir- cuits. Boston: Red Sox went 15 innings and finally nosed out the Tigers right in Detroit, 11-19. Cleveland Indians upset the leading Orioles, 9-5, while Kansas City turned back the Angeles, 5-2, and Minnesota Twins clipped the Chicago White Sox, 8-6. Yankees and Washington were idle. In the National League, Cincy Redlegs defeated the N.Y. Mets, 8-3, and St. Louis Cards went up with their 3-1 win over the Pirates while San Francisco Giants were blanking the Dodgers, 3-0. Chicago Cubs lost ground, bowing to Houston Colts, 6-2, while the Braves nipped Phillies, 8-7, in 10 innings (tied 6-6 at the end of nine) and all this made the National League about the tightest race they've had in 20 years. x x x x SPORTS BRIEFS: -- Sam Snead moves into the United States Opén at Brookline, Mass., next week and it will be the 23rd time he's competed in this tournament -- one of the few titles he's never managed to win... .

SO THE SCORER MAKES DECISION CHARLOTTETOWN, P.E.I. (CP) -- The pitcher, Jackie Burke, had a no-hitter going with two out in the ninth. Up to bat stepped Harry Callaghan. In the official scorers' box was Pius Callaghan, the bat- ter's father, The younger Callaghan took a. vicious swipe at the ball. Burke got his glove on it but couldn't hold the line drive. It went right back to the pitcher, He picked it up and threw to first. But the batter beat him by. a step. How did the elder Callaghan score it? Well, Burke finished up the night with a one-hitter, You guess who got it, P.S. -- Burke's team, Flyers, beat the Rovers 2-0.
