6 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Tuesday, May 2, 1967 SPORTS BEAT By Eric Wes Times Sports Editor: WITH A LITTLE co-opera- tion from the weather, To- ronto Maple Leafs will kick off what may well be their last season in the Inter- enational League Wednesday afternoon at Maple Leaf Sta- ~dium. Last season, Leafs pre- sented a pleasing brand of *baseball, coming close to a first place finish in the regu- lar schedule and winding up league playoff champions. 2That the club has had good players over the past two years is evident by the fact that much 'of the early suc- -cess of the Boston club in the American League is being achieved with the help of five former Toronto players. RUSS GIBSON has been 'handling most of the catch- ing duties for the Red Sox, with Tony Horton sharing 'first base duties with George Scott. Joe Foy, Bill Rohr and «Reg Smith have also con-' tributed key games to the Red Sox and* manager Dick Williams, himself a Toronto grad, expects Mike Andrews to hold down the second base spot. Rohr, a good looking youngster, has been poison to New York Yankees so far this year, beating them twice. OPENING DAYS in recent years in Toronto haven't had the appeal they used to have, although this year the open- ing has been somewhat lost in the midst of all the Stanley Cup playoff news coming out of Toronto, I can't remember a hotter time in Toronto than this year in Stanley Cup play- offs. Of course, when a club such as the hockey Leafs, not figured to get past the first round, gets hot, it catches the imagination of even the luke- warm fans. MAPLE LEAFS stand an excellent chance of winding up the 1967 Stanley Cup final tonight on home ice, but they're probably expecting stiff opposition from Gump Worsley. Worsley, shunted to the side in the Montreal goal- keeping picture by young Rogatien Vachon late in the season, will probably be used by coach Toe Blake tonight. Blake found out Saturday that Gump can still do the ' job, if, in fact, he ever had THREE MORE NOTABLES... 6 slby GOALKEEPING is a hazar- dous occupation, more so than coaching. Just look at Terry Sawchuk. Last Thurs- day, he couldn't have Stopped a balloon, and left Maple Leaf Gardens' ice with the catcalls ringing around his head. To- night, after Saturday's big jawa Centennial Sports Celebri- ties Dinner, May 16, at Civic Auditorium, is rapidly filling. Latest to join Bobby Orr and Nancy Greene at the front of the banquet: hall are the new head coach of Toronto Argo- nauts,.-Leo Cahill, Canada's top small bore rifle competitor, Gil Boa of St. Catharines, and the Ontario Athletic Commis- sioner, Merv McKenzie. More than 1,000 tickets have been sold for the dinner, spon- sored by Oshawa Green Gaels' Performance in Montreal, he'll step on the ice to the roar of the crowd. But it's old news to players such as Sawchuk. They don't let the crowd get them down. As Sawchuk said before Satur- day's game, "'I'll just go out and do my best, and hope it's good enough". Well, Saw- chuk's best is just about as good as you can get. It al- ways-has been. OSHAWA TENNIS club will be holding a series of Thurs- day night indoor clinics for beginners, commencing _ this Thursday at 7 p.m. Basic fundamentals will be dealt with at the indoor sessions, with the clinic moving out- doors later in the month. The tennis club is situated on Rit- son Rd. N, at Hillcroft. Mem- bers of the club will start ac- tive competition in the To- ronto Tennis League in three weeks.
