10 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE, Wednesday, July 8, 1953, STOCK CAR DRIVERS GET TANGIBLE PROOF OF THEIR POPULARITY WITH FANS Vi by the fans decided the ye in the popularity contest for the stock car driv- ers, which was conducted at Oshawa Raceways during the month of June and on Saturday night, the top ten drivers were Ted Hogan, at the extreme right, was "the most popular" of them all and he won the handsome RCA Victor TV set, on which he rests a possessive elbow.

Whipper Watson Bops Ref In Melee So The Great Togo Is Awarded Bout A little of practically everything was served up to the largest wrest- ling crowd in Oshawa's history at the Oshawa Arena last night, an attendance of over the 3,000 mark. If there's such a thing in wrest- lng as "mulligan" or "Irish Stew' --then, last night's variety pro- gram of mat performances was just that--the fans got a taste of everything that goes to make up an entertaining show. NEWCOMER WINS HIS SPURS The regulars saw a new and in- teresting performer in Mr. Eu- rope, Robert Duranton, who won the preliminary bout. over Abe Zvonkin with an indignant outburst of temper and fury. It was a good curtain raiser, this opener, with the veteran Hamilton performer Abe Zvonkin resorting to vicious tactics when he found his favorite holds thwarted by the alert European champ. Zvonkin got too tough -- that was the trouble. Robert Duranton finally - decided he'd put up with Abraham's ham for long enough, so he suddenly lashed out on a vigorous campaign of his own that sent the fans into an early screaming session, with Duranton finishing Zvonkin off with a body slam and top spread.

'SPORTS MENU "Everything from Soup to Nuts" by Geo. H. Campbell SPORTS EDITOR Guelph Ma Leafs visit the Oshawa Merchants at the Kinsmen Civic Memorial Stadium tomorrow night for a league fixture. This, by-the way, for the benefit of the season's et holders, is to be game No. 7 -- it being a Guelph visit to Oshawa that was rained out, early last month. The Guelph Mapleos have been rolling right along lately with plenty of trouble to keep them on their toes. Both St. Thomas, a much improved team now, and the Galt Terriers have been hot after Guelph's hide --while the Oshawa Merchants, stri to get up into fourth place, have had to keep one eye on the Maple Leafs. a rom Sebenutimen on ev! 9 knock off the Merchants. They'll likely send their ace barler, Eddie Drapcho against Oshawa tomorrow might. He has already chalked up three wins but if we don't get Drapcho to- morrow t -- the it would us very much if the Guelph board of strategy elects send Kennie Yount against former mates. Yount would nothing better than to hand * team a defeat fn our own Stadium prove that Oshawa ve released him. 4-hitter the other Guelph and has been g very well for them late- It's a case of home-and-home for the Merchants and Guelph Maple Leafs, since the Oshawa team is playing up in Guelph tonight. On Friday night, Galt Ter- riers play here in Oshawa, a regu- lar league game and then on Sat- urday, the Merchants visit Brant- ford Red Sox. This could be Osh- awa's big week. Wayne Grandcolas has been released. The left-hand- er who was so sensational for Osh- asa last year, has an ailing should- er, torn ligament has been given as the true reason for his failure 'to show any of his former pitching form. Apparently he came here with the sore shoulder, following an injury. Trieckel, a pitcher who had a one-day stay with the Mer- chants, has also been released -- mot because he was slower than molasses but because he just didn't y eno! to warrant the salary wanted. At the moment Oshawa's pitch- ing staff is a small one and the club has feelers out now for an- r hurler or two. Ronnie Ryba is expected back in Osh- awa today. Ryba went back to his home, with Cleveland scout, Claire Hoose, of Toronto, so that Ryba's parents could sign a con- tract with Cleveland. At least that's the way we get the story and Ryba is to move into pro ranks next summer, but will fin- ish this year with Oshawa. Yan- kees, who rcommended Ronnie to Oshawa, may be a bit annoy- ed.

Ryba was notified by telegram yesterday from the I-C commissioner that he has been fined $10.00 and sus- pended for one game -- which means Ryba will not be playing for the Merchants tonight, any- way. Charlie Dressen Names NL Stars CINCINNATI (AP) -- Manager Charlie Dressen of Brooklyn Dod- gers dipped into the ranks of seven ball clubs Tuesday to fill out the 25-man National League all-star team which will meet the Ameri- can League all-stars in the annual game here next Tuesday. He named seven pitchers with a combined record of 64 won and 33 lost (up to games of Tuesday) to support an array of power hitters. This is the hurling crew the Dod- ger pilot will have available: Robin Roberts (13-6) of the Phils, who has pitched in two previous All-Star games; Gerry Staley (12-3) of St. Louis Cardinals; Hoyt Wil helm (5-4). New York Giants' great reliefer; Murry Dickson, who has a 7-9 record with Pittsburgh's last- place Pirates; Curt Simmons (7-5), of the Phils; Warren Spahn (10-3) of Milwaukee Braves who will be making his sixth appearance on an all-star squad, and Harvey Had- dix (10-3) of the Cards. The starting lineup is made up of Ted Kluszewski of Cincinnati, first base; Red Schoendienst of St. Louis, second base; Peewee Reese of Brooklyn, shortstop; Eddie Mat- hews of Milwaukee, third base; Stan Musial of St. Louis, left field; Gus Bell of Cincinnati centre field; Enos Sloughter of St. Louis, right field, and Roy Cam- panella of Brooklyn, catcher. By THE CANADIAN PRESS | Dale Markert, Elgins' sharp left- | fielder, showed St. Thomas fans | why he tops the batting depart- | ment in the Senior Intercounty | baseball league. | He knocked out two singles and a double in four trips to the plate to knock in four of St. Thomas' Ben Hogan Has Trouble With Putter By STERLING SLAPPEY CARNOUSTIE, Scotland (AP)-- Ben Hogan and Carnoustie"s soggy championship course ran head on in the British open golf tourna- ment Tuesday and the course came out best. The seaside layout's slow and shaggy greens lofted the U.S. Open champion's score to 75. Along with a 7-0 Monday on the easier Burnside course that gave the Texan a 145 total--easily low enough to qualify him for the tour- nament proper today. Defending champion Bobby Locke of South Africa fired a bril- liant 71, one under the unofficial Carnoustie -par, for a two-day 136 and the medal honors. While Locke was brilliant on the greens, Hogan had poor success putting. He took 35 putts. The 91 low scores qualified for rounds of 18 today and Thursday. The field will be réducd to 50 for Friday's 36-hole finale. The | qualifying scors don't count in the | Sournament proper, which is medal play. Second to Locke were John Pan- {ton of Scotland and Christy O'Con- {nor of Ireland with 141s. Panton, member of the British Ryder Cup team, had a 72 after an opening round record 69. O'Connor, a little- known Irish pro, toured the Burn- side course in 68. He had a 78 Monday. Lloyd Mangrum, another Ameri- can veteran, shot the hottest round of the day, a 67 at the Burnside. |He qualified with 145. Panthers Lengthen Lead To 2 Games runs in their 12-7 victory over Galt Terriers Tuesday night. In the night's other game Kitch- ener Panthers extended their league lead to two games over second-place Brantford with a 6-2 | win over the Red Sox. The victory broke a three-game losing streak for the Elgins. The sixth-place Terriers gave a big lift to the Elgins, who earned only three of the 12 runs, by committing eight errors against three for St. Thomas. The Elgins started the game off with a four-run first in- ning and were never headed. Ed Steele with two doubles and a single for five times at bat drove in four Terrier runs. Al Costa posted his second win in five starts with Pete Koval, relieved by Ted Semanski in the third, charged with the loss. Chuck Fedoris' five-hit pitching, and homers by Dick Welker and |P Ross Doherty won the game for Kitchener from the host Red Sox. Welker also singled in the fourth and stole second to tie the all- time intercounty mark of 22 thefts. Alf Gavy was the loser. Tonight Brantford plays at Kit. chener; Waterloo at Galt; Oshawa at Guelph and St. Thomas at Lon- on. Middlesex XI Tightens Grip LONDON (Reuters) -- Middlesex strengthened its sition at the head of the English county cricket ghampionship table Tuesday, beat- ing Warwickshire, 1951 champions, by 148 runs. Spin Bowlers, Jack Young and Fred Titmus of Middlesex had the batsmen guessing on a well-worn pitch. Warwick needed 342 runs to win, but lost half its team for 78 and ended all out for 193. Surrey, current pennant holders, is back in the hunt with a smart 10-wicket home win over Yorkshire Surrey, with three matches in hand over Middlesex, is 26 points in ar- rears.

EAST DIAL 3-2259 NO VENOM HERE The semi-final was something new for these parts but it must have been very gratifying to the brand new customers -- and there record crowd last night -- because it was wrestling, as she used to be -- "in the good old days'. Bob Brazil and Timothy Geohag. en tangled in this one -- and tangl- ed is the proper word. It could be pointed out first that Timothy put about ten or eleven members of the crowd 'to sleep" with his famous "Irish Sleeper" hold, the group of sudden sleepers ranging from several of the ushers and others who volunteered including CKLB's Paul Summerville to one white-haired spectator who also wanted to give it a try. One *'un- believer" got a little extra pressure --he'll know he has a neck this morning Bobo and Geohagen stuck strict- ly to the wrestling book and the result was pleasing entertainment. Tricky holds and counter-holds fea- tured their action, with plenty of aerial work, arm locks, etc., and Timothy even borrowed Whipper Watson's famed "avalanche'" roll to get out of one punishing grip that Bobo put on. They wrestled the full half-hour to a draw -- and everyone was satisfied, including the grapplers themselves. BUT IT ENDED IN A RIOT The quiet and orderly conduct ceased with the semi-final bout however. The Great Togo and Whipper Billy Watson really put on a ter- rific bout. That's what the three thousand odd customers had paid heir money to see and they saw it! The great Togo took the first fall -- and we use that word 'fall' rather loosely in discussing any portion of this main bout -- but after a series of vicious exchanges in which Whipper Watson tried to stick somewhat to the rules and found out that wasn't good enough, The Great Togo put on his judo- chop and another little sneak act that might be termed wrestling"s Pearl Harbor, to toss Watson out, and he was counted out. Watson got his forelocks chopped into a blood-streaming mask as they went at it for the third fall. pper Billy's fans and they're Jogion in this fair ecity-- yelled lustlly as their favorite went back to more brusk tactics to cap- ture the second fall and even up the bout. Then came the hullabaloo. Re- feree Bunny Dunlop, with his arm in a cast and all, was trying to control some of Watson's wild an- tics as The Whipper slugged The Great Togo to get the upper hand, SOX HURLER HAS SON CHICAGO (AP) -- Billy Pierce, ace pitcher of Chicago te Sox, announced Tuesday the birth of his = child, ium Reed, born ay night troit.

It was utter bedlam with the huge mob on the verge of riot but Promotoer Milosh had extra police on duty last night and the boys in blue, together with the ushers, plus Bobo and Timothy, finally got things un- der control and the grapplers hust- led away -- so all ended without need of an ambulance. | | OSHAWA MINOR | SOFTBALL ASSOC. | KIWANIS BANTAM LEAGUE w Eastview { Rundle | Sunnyside | North Oshawa | Bathe Woodview | Thornt | Fernhill | B'NAI B'RITH MIDGET LEAGU: Rundle Sunnyside Connaught ww=N sun s~an™ ROLLER TON SKATING IGHT ARENA Everyone's Going To The . . .
