40 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE, Tuesday, Juue 16, 1958 ANOTHER FOR RIPPLEMEYER SPORTS MENU "Everything from Soup to Nuts" by Geo. H. Campbell SPORTS 'EDITOR "Bud" Ripplemeyer pitched him- self another victory in his second start for the Oshawa Merchants, last night up in Brantford and in addition to performing a brilliant mound chore, also drove in the run that broke the 4-4 tie in the 8th inning, with two out at the time. In the 9th, Tommy St. John got on and sprinted from 1st tof... 3rd on a passed ball and scored later when Dick Berning struck out for the second out -- and Ted O'Connor, who had walked, broke for 2nd. The veteran catcher Luth- er Clifford "went for it" too -- threw to 2nd and Tommy St. John, one of the fastest men to ever wear an Oshawa uniform, prompt- x sprinted for the play and beat the return throw, to complete the double steal and score what prov- | ed the winning run. Tommy Mec- | Grattan doubled with two out, big Bob Thurman, for the second time in the game, was given an inter- national pass and then Ripplemey- er "bore down" to strike out Luth- er Clifford.and end the game. The loss hurt Brantford a little but the win was a big boost to the Mer- | chants -- their 8th of the season | and their third victory in their last | four games, three with London and | one with Brantford, the two top | clubs. Fran Dyson, new 1st baseman with the Merchants, pulled off a timely triple to open the 8th that set the stage for Oshawa's tie- breaking run in that frame. Tom- my St. John, who played a sparkling game last night and scored the winning run, was playing his last game with. the Merchants for quite a while and maybe for the season. He has to return for an officer's train- ing course and will be lost to the club for the entire month of July. Whether he is retained on the roster, which can only num- ber 14 after July 15, is hard to say. Following the results of the other Inter-County games played last night, the Merchants can now set their sights for the big game here tomorrow night. Guelph Maple Leafs visit the Kinsmen Civic Stadium tomor- row night for a league tilt with the Oshawa clan and now that the weather has warmed up, it's expected that a crowd of well over a thousand customers will be on hand to watch this one. The Merchants are really rolling them right up on Waterloo's heels, close to fifth place. Guelph Leafs are rated as one of the stronger teams in this year's I- C race. Merchants had them 7-2 in the 7th, a couple of weeks back and then lost out 8-7. To- morrow night the Oshawa squad plans on chalking up another win and showing the Maple Leafs that things are going to be dif- ferent from here. Ted Stone pitched a brilliant no- hit, no-run game last night here at the Stadium, to give McCallum Transporters a 6-0 triumph over the Peterborough Liflocs. It was Stone's third no-hit game of his career but last night's performance was quite his best effort, almost a perfect game with eight strike- outs and on top of that, he had two hits himself. The win lengthen- ed Transporters' undefeated string and at this pace, they'll be out of reach of the rest of the field, by Dominion Day. With no baseball games on tap, the big sports event this evening is the wrestling show at the Oshawa Arena. The regular Tuesday night presentation fea- tures a team bout tonight as the main event, with Dick Raines teaming up with Lou Plummer against Bobo Brazil and Timothy Geohagen. This one should be a rabble-rouser for Bobo and Tim are' both very popular with the local mat fans and suffice to say that Raines and Plummer are intensely disliked. The semi-final has Bill Stack of Bowmanville against Firpo Zbysko while Tom Collins and Abe Zvonkin, both of Hamilton meet in the opening bout. We heard that he played a bit of cricket in his younger days and having watched him "pitching" in the East on several occasions, we know that Oshawa's Chief of Police has good control and can also throw a mean curve at some of the guys who turn up in the box each morning but now we find out he isn't a pitcher at all -- he's a second baseman. The baseball trade yesterday saw Cleveland In- dians make a four-for-four swap with Detroit Tigers and among with pitchers Art Houtteman and Bill Wight, also catcher Joe Gins- berg, we read that second baseman Owen Friend has also gone to Cleveland. Yep--Owen Friend has left Detroit and gone to Cleveland and all the time we thought he was supervising the local lads in blue. We did hear that Pete Bako- george was going to get behind the wheel of one of those jazzed- up jalopies known as a "stock car" and participate in the big race himself, tomorrow night out at the Oshawa Motor Raceways, but suspect that Pete will prefer the "Belmont Stakes" at the Oshawa .Raceways .tomorrow night and while Native Dancer won the Belmont Stakes on Sat- urday, tomorrow night's race is a stock car feature, a long dis- tance affair with special prize money being put up by Belmont Motors. They're expecting anoth- | er big crowd on hand Wednesday | night, as these special purse events always attract the top drivers. Pedlars Whip Aviators 16-7 Pedlars whipped Field Aviation 6-7 in an Industrial Softball League fray played at Bathe Park last night. Cowle was the winning pitcher for Pedlars. He distributed 12 hits sparsely over nine innings while his mates played errorless ball behind him.

Kitchener Edges Up On London In Intercounty By THE CANADIAN PRESS London Majors are losing their grip on top position in the Senior Intercounty Baseball League. They now lead Kitchener Panthers by only one-half a game. The Majors Monday night lost their third game out of four. It was a 6-5 loss to the fifth-place Waterloo Tigers. They lost the two to the fourth-place - Oshawa Merchants. In other league games Kitchener defeated Guelph Maple Leafs 6-5, Oshawa set back Brantford Red Sox 6-5 and Galt Terriers edged St. Thomas Elgins 4-3. Don Penny went the route for the Majors, giving up only five hits, but he walked seven batters and committed a balk. The Tigers tallied two runs in the second and one in the third. They got two more insurance runs in the sixth when shortstop Bob Deakin threw wildly to third base with the circuit full. London scored Brooklin Edges Whitby Royals Brooklin edged out their sec- ond straight game by a one-run margin last Dent in Whitby when they took Whitby Royals 5-4 under fhe eight-hit pitching of Allen Mac- ey. Brooklin scored one run in the first, one in the second and one in the fourth to lead 3-1 heading for the ninth inning. In the top of the ninth Bruce Mitchell and brother Don both got on base by walks off loser Wally Samanski and both scored on wild pitches. They gave Brooklin a 5-1 ead. The last of the ninth saw a three- run rally by Whitby. Spencer sin- gled, Jim Ross tripled and Hatch hit a pinch-homer to make it 15-4.

EAST DIAL 3-2259 SPORTS CALENDAR | Clarendon Plate Has 82 Nominated The 28th running of The $5,000 Clarendon Plate, which is schedul- ed for Woodbine Park Toronto, on Wednesday afternoon, has drawn the tremendous field of 82 nominations. It is anticipated that the race will be run in at least two divisions. This season has produced the best crop of two-year-olds in Ca- nadian history and Wednesday's test -- which is confined to horses bred in Canada -- will give a line on the winner of next year's Qeen's Plate. This is the first stake exclusively for home-bred ju- veniles. The purse for the Clarendon Plate has been boosted from $3,- 000 to $5,00 this year and, in their desire to encourage Canadian breeders, it is anticipated that the directors of the Ontario Jockey Club will give the purse another boost in the future. Among the leading candidates for next Wednesday's stake is My Wind, E. P. Taylor's filly which just scored a rather easy win in one division of the My-Dear Stak- es. His other My Dear division win- ner -- Shine Ever -- wasn't nom- inated fop the Clarendon. Race track enthusiasts are awaiting the appearance of Sgt. Vince in the Clarendon. This colt equalled the track record for one- quarter mile in his only outing and he won in such handy fashion that some critics already are pre- dicting that he will be the colt- of-the-year. Others which are certain to re- ceive great support are Addison Stable's Amon, Medway Stable's Khorson and Armstrong Brothers' Trochanter. The latter colt scored his second win on Queen's Plate Day when he was given a rous- ing ride through the stretch by Eddie Arcaro. The Australian koala bear is a soft bundle of fur up to 26 inches in length when fully grown. TENNIS CLUB NET NOTES A mixed doubles tournament and a wiener roast -- how does that sound for Friday night? The time is 6.30. This is the first social event of the tennis season. If you remember Marg McLaren's suc- cessful parties last year you'll be sure to turn out. Right now, be- for Marg leaves for a year's stay in Scotland, it woul be agood time to congratulate her on her work as social "Rep" last year. She did a wonderful job! Now, Joan Jackson will be taking over the social duties, and with her we'll have another excellent "rep". Wednesday night the Boulevard Club went down in defeat when our team played them in Toronto. Oshawa took three of the four matches. Reg MacArthur copped the singles match. Doug Lang- maid, Bill Blight and Harv Moy- er, John Preston won the doubles matches. Congratulations! We hear it was very exciting tennis to watch. This week there will be two tournaments with out - of - town clubs. Tonight, the Toronto Tennis Club «will play here, while the Bank of Commerce Club is slated for Thursday. Should make for some excellent tennis. So, if you're interested drop around. Instructions at the club are well under way, and there is a good turn - out for them, especially among the junior members. Evi- dently, they showed up one rather rainy Saturday when none of the other members had ventured out. But their resourceful instructors, Grace McLaren and Harv Moyer, still managed to give them their instructions, in spice of the weath- er. The senior members are also showing a lot of promise. For them there will be a switch in time. In- structions will now be from 7.30 until 8.30 on Mondays, Wednes- days and Thursdays. by Joyce Curran.
