| SPORTS MENU "Everything from Soup fo Nuts" by Geo. H. Campbell SPORTS EDITOR HARRY SCHAEFFER, who was with Toronto Maple Leafs in the International League las. yéar, is the lztest baseball talent to be signed by the Oshawa Merchants, The local club revealed today that they have signed the former Toronto pitcher, who 'was previously with Kansas City in the American Association, in 1953, when he won 11 and lost 14; walked 67 and fanned 104, allowing 161 hits in 165 innings. K.C. finished in 2nd place that year, George Uhaze, the ace St. Thomas Elgins, signed, was with Louisville that year in the same league and his record shows that the Elgins have picked themselves a perfect fielding pitcher. Leafs bought Schaeffer from Kansas City last year and Schaeffer later gave return to Penn, where he is teaching school. He and bis wife and two children will arrive In Oshawa early in June -- and Merchants will be looking for a furnished house, duplex or apartment for the family, Harry himself will likely be here this coming Saturday for the opening game and will be available on Saturdays, after school has started. It's 'Méet The Merchants" night on Thursday of this week, with another baseball Introduction night having been arranged, for the Piccadilly Room at the Hotel Genosha, Most of the ball pliyers who will start this Saturday afternoon's "opening game' here at the Stadium, will be on band Thursday night and the baseball fans will get a chance to meet them, Thursday nighi's "party" will be of similar nature as the affair that was held late in March, but in addition, there will' be a program of professional entertal nt, to Pp te for the small admis- sion fee that will be charged at the door.

The Kalmikoff Brothers are at the Whitby Arena tonight "and those wrestling fans who get a speclal kick out of ome of those "tag team" bouts, are in for a special treat, since the opponents for the Russian roughlang will be none other than Pat Flanagan and Prince Maiava. As we told you yesterday, the Prince is going to do a little "fire dance" in flames and on hot coals, as an added adéraction, The semi-final boul with Les Henning meeting Suni War Cloud, will be a hot one too and Bowmanville fans will be pulling for Billy Stack to win over Ken Kenneth in the curtain raiser, BRIGHT BITS -- Local softball team managers, for Senior YB" Intermediate "A", Intermediate "AA" and Junior "A" teams, are reminded that the Oshawa City and District Softball Associa- tion is meeting tonight at the Rundle Park clubhouse, at nine o'clock and important busi is to be di d. . .BILL EZIN- JCKI has been traded by N.Y.

MIKE GOLIAT is certainly pounding the pill at a terrific clip for Toronto Leafs these ddys.
