40 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE, Saturday, July 4; 1953 PARADE OF PITCHERS SPORTS MENU 'Everything from Soup to Nuts" by Geo. H. Campbell SPORTS EDITOR Oshawa Merchants chalked up a 10-9 victory over St. Thomas El- gins last night in St. Thomas, even though our league's best hitting team was thorour"ly outhit by the hometown Elgins. Oshawa used a ade of pitchers, including Tony laurentis, who showed up here this week, for another bid with the Merchants. He has been with Osh- awa in the previous two or three summers. Bud Ripplemeyer finally moved in to take over for Oshawa and got credit for his sixth win, which moves him up with the best in the league. Dick Berning's two- run homer proved a big blow for the Merchants last night -- offset some of the homers and triples the St. Thomas boys pounded out. Veteran Tommy White limited the Merchants to only a few hits -- but they made them count. That was Oshawa's 15th win in 30 starts in the Inter-County and it protects their grip on 5th place. As a matter of fact, the Mer- chants gained a little last night because Kitchener trounced Lon- don Majors 12-4 and Brantford Red Sox nosed out Waterloo Tig- ers, scoring two runs in the 9th inning to do the trick. Those two defeats -- to Waterloo and Lon- don -- meant that Oshawa Mer- chants gained a full game on these two clubs -- even though they didn't get any closer to the e-leading Kitchener Panth- ers, who are currently setting a scorching pace as the loop's top team. Oshawa Merchants play the Majors in London today and if they can continue to add to London's slump by winning this one -- the Merchants will move up within one full game of Lon- don Majores and the fourth posi- tion in the league race. On Monday night, in Kitchener, the annual Inter-County All-Star game will be played between Kitch- ener Panthers -- their right as league leaders on Dominion Day -- against the All-Stars -- chosen the balance of the league by the votes of the press and radio. 'We haven't, at the time of writing this, seen the results of the voting but just so that our fans will know 'where we stood in the voting -- we cast ballots for Ryba, Ripple- meyer, Dyson, Imbra, Mason, Law- and O'Connor and if the in- te! nt baseball experts in the Inter-County league agree with this selector -- we fail to see how these players can be left off the team. Of course -- we voted for some other stars too such as Penny, Clifford, Halkard, Cassanova, Wil- son, etc. Oshawa McCallum-Transport- ers are playing Lindsay Mer- chants here at the Kinsmen Civic Memorial Stadium tonight and it should be one of the big games of the season. They went into "overtime" before Transporters eked out a win over Lindsay the last time the Scugog Town boys played here. Transporters will be after their 18th win -- assum- ing they won last night in Col- borne -- which we haven't heard about as yet but no doubt it has since been reported. - The stock car races out at Osh- awa Raceways tonight will pick up what was left over when they were rained out on Tuesday night. The feature tonight will be the 30- lap feature race for .the Oshawa and district, with the mid-summer "Oshawa Championship" as the coveted award -- plus an extra urse for the first three to finish. The crack Toronto drivers will also be on hand tonight for the other races on the program, with Ted Hogan certain to be present. Ted will receive an RCA Victor TV set tonight -- his prize for having receiving the most votes from the fans during the month of June -- as "the most popular driver." It should be a special night and fav- ored with good weather, the races will be faster than usual -- which will likely result in more thrills and spills for the biggest crowd of the season. Pat Milosh is "all gigged up" --and why not? He predicts largest paid admission in Osh- awa's wrestling history, to be on hand at the Oshawa Arena in Tuesday night, wen Whipper Billy Watson and The Great Togo clash again. Those who saw that chair-swinging, blood-letting episode of two weeks ago, will he on hand -- along with all those who have since n inter- ested in that spectacular per- formance. On top of that, Bobo Brazil meets Timothy Geohagen in the. semi-final and the fans will have a hard job te choose between these two local favorites. In the preliminary event, Robert Duranton meets Abe Zvonkin of Hamilton. Duranton is "Mr. Eu- ope' in wrestling circles there and comes to Canada with a lot of advance press. A fouple of local sport fans. Ray Hill in the Oshawa Hospital and '"Waddy'" Hutchison, up at Sunnybrook, are saying thanks to the "boys" around "Wally's" -- where a collection for treats for the two ailing locals was success- fully taken and turned over. ST. THOMAS (CP) -- In a see- saw Senior Intercounty Baseball League game here last night, Osh- awa Merchants nosed out St against the same number of losses. "Bud" Ripplemeyer, ning, was credited with his sixth straight victory against no losses. He was" preceded by four Oshawa pitchers. Don Sommers, who started for St. Thomas, issued four straight took over for the remainder of the game. He allowed only seven hits. St. Thomas nicked Oshawa pitch- Thomas Elgins 10-9 but were out- hit 12-7. It was Oshawa's 15th win who took over for Oshawa in the sixth in- walks and Manager Tommy White INTER-COUNTY STATISTICS LAST NIGHT'S RESULTS Oshawa, 10; St. Thomas, 9. Kitchener, 12; London, 4.

The Transporters won 12-6 over Colborne Dodgers, but the- game wouldn't have even been close had not. the homersters again picked up their shoes in the semi-darkness and started to roll. They weré facing in Cec Hall, the Oshawa pitcher, graduate of their team. Cec handled the enemy masterfully in the opening innings . . . and then they did the same to him in the seventh. HALL'S 2ND WIN Before the thing went too far, Ted "Stone came on in relief to preserve the win for the Trans- rs and for Hall. It marked ¢'s second start and his second . . . even though he wasn't around to see the last of the ninth. The Transporters have now won 17 straight ball games without once tasting defeat this season . . .they rest in first place in the Lakeshore Intermediate league with a seven- and-one-half game lead over the second place Lindsay Merchants.

HOMER PARADE It was a big top of the fifth that gave the SYausporiers a lead they never relinquis! led-off with a homer over the right- field wall to make it 2-1. Barnes flied out, but Jack Litch singled, stole second, moved on third on a passed ball and scored on Coggin's errored drive, Coggins stole second and then romped home when Bunny Maeson belted the ball over the wall in left field for a homerun to make the score 5-1. Al Kelleher walked in the last of the inning, made third on Bush's single and scored when Art Wright singled to centre. That made the score 5-2. As further insurance, the Trans- porters added four runs in the top of the seventh. The runs were plat- ed on singles by Pete Murphy, Maeson and a triple by Frank Varga. It was in the last of the seventh that Colborne got to Hall and sent him to the showers with the score 96. Singles by Chuck Hall, Bush and Wright plus an error and two walks did the damage. Ted Stone came in with one out and two on. GREAT IN RELIEF He walked the first man to face him to load the bases, but fanned fhe next two batters to end the rally.

NEW BATTING LEADER There's a new face looming in the race for Inter-county Baseball Association batting honors. Dale Markert, former Galt and Waterloo outfielder, who joined St. Thomas Elgins well after the sea- son started has pounded out 18 hits in 32 official trips to the plate in his first eight games, for a .563 mark, best among league regulars. Ten of Markert's hits have been for extra bases, including five doubles, a triple and four homers, in games to Tuesday night. In ad- dition he has been hitting with men on and is already tied for eighth spot in the RBI column with 14. Leader is Butch Lawing, Osh- Racing to Finish Winnipeg's New Sports Stadium Canadian Press Staff Writer WINNIPEG (CP) -- Eighty-odd workers are racing -against time and the weather in an effort to have Winnipeg's new $500,000 sta- dium ready for the official open- ing Aug. 14. "Give us a break in the weather and we'll have her ready," said Dick Purdey, boss of the construc- tion gang, who looks almost big enough to line up with Winnipeg Blue Bombers, major tenants of the new park. Despite heavy spring rains which have set back the work, the new stadium, long a dream of Winnipeg sportdom, is fast taking shape. Covering four blocks in the city's west end, the Winnipeg Stadium-- as it will be called unless they find a better name--is designed to ac- commodate about 15,000 football fans. Everything is being built, however, with the idea of future expansion. Two permanent concrete stands on either side of the field, which runs north and south, will seat 5, 000 persons each. Movable bleach- ers at the ends will take care of an additional 5,000. None of ¢he stands is covered. A press and radio box will be constructed over the west-side per- manent stands, which also houses the players' and officials' dressing rooms, washrooms and conces- sions.
