54Q 'THE OSHAWA TIMES, Seturdey, June 22, 1963 SPORTS MENU By Geo. H. Campbell SPORTS EDITOR 'Everything From Soup To Nuts' SANDY KOUFAX won his 1ith victory for the L.A. Dodgers yesterday over St. Louis Cardinals no less, which made the win even more valuable than some. And the whitewash artist had another shutout going right up until the 9th inning. Mil- waukee Braves upset the Giants although they got only three hits and in another important National League fixture, Chicago s Cubs wyon over the Pirates when Rodgers a former cricket player, hit a timely single, with the bases loaded, in the 10th inning. Boston ended Yankees' streak and Dressen's Detroit Tigers won over the A's but the real big news in the Amer- : tean League yesterday was Early Wynn's terrific bid to win -=¢he 300th victory of his long major league career. In a scorch- sing duel with Juan Pizarro, Wynn, now with Cleveland In- ® dians, blanked his former Chicago White Sox teammates ; until the 9th, and then with two out, Hansen hit a two-run ® homer, to break the 0-0 deadlock. This is almost certain to be « Wynn's final season, he almost had to beg to get a contract, * and his many fans are hoping he'll get that 300th win -- then * he can retire happy. rn x x x x BOB HAYES, powerful sprinter from Florida, broke the world's record for the 100-yard dash, twice last night, in the U.S. Amateur meet at St. Louis. The previous mark, made in 1961 by Frank Budd and equalled last year by Canada's Harry Jerome at Vancouver was 9.2. Hayes ran a semi-final heat in 9.1 and 45 minutes later, won the final in the same H amazing time.

"There is no problem of hold- outs," said Duncan, who ex- pects the association will be founded during a relatively quiet period between exhibition games and the start of the reg- ular season. The association would not be a union, but woull o ite more as a guild that would give players some voice in financial matters involving their teams. Duncan said he has had two meetings with CLC officials and has received a 'whole file" of information on similar associa- tions that have been organized in other sports. In the file compiled by Dun- can and CLC officials are the contracts of the English Soccer Players' Association and the Metre Wrestlers' Associa- on. 40-LB. STURGEON, 8-LB.

Pirates stayed even against Cubs when Smokey Burgess smacked a three-run pinch dou. ble off Bob Buhl in the seventh inning for a 5-5 tie. But three innings later Cubs staged their winning rally against Joe Gib- bon, the fifth of six Pittsburgh pitchers. Ellis Burton, who' had hom- ered and doubled earlier, started it with a single and was sacrificed to second. Ken As- promonte drew an intentional walk, and Rogers delivered his third single of the day off Tom Sisk. Burgess' double was the sev- entth and final Pirate hit.

The star southpaw, now 11-3, issued a walk before giving way to Per- ranoski, who got the final out. Tommy Davis hit his homer Despite the setback, Cards held onto their one-half game lead over Giants while Dodgers pulled to within 14% games of St. Louis. Bob Bolin of Giants held Mii- waukee without a hit until the fifth -- when Braves erupted. Joe Torre triggered the out- burst with a homer, then Bolin came apart. A waik, ean error, a hit batsman and a wild pitch tied the score at 2-2, two more walks forced in the go-ahead run, and Lee Maye capped it by slamming a bases-loaded tri- ple against Bolin. be without any attached condi- tions, a sub-committee of the OHA ruled Friday.
