H. Campbell SPORTS EDITOR OSHAWA MOTORS started off their Inter-County baseball cam- paign on Friday night in Brantford in fine style, chalking np an impressive 19-5 victory, with right-hander Cec Hall going all the way on his first start and his mates pounding the old apple to every eorner of the Brantford ball park ---- as well as pounding a couple right out of same park, via the home-run route, from the bat of Roy Lefevre. The popular Oshawa second-baseman was the scourge of pearly all the pitchers in the I-C loop last season and finished well up in the batting race, despite a tapering off due to illness, at the close of the schedulee. Roy had two homers in Brantford so he may be headed for another great season at the plate. Another batler who pleased playing-manager Rollis Leveille was Joe Balazovic,"the husky outfielder, who performs with Metropolitan Motors (Toronto Jr. ball team) but who is signed with the Oshawa Motors. He hit the ball hard and shone in cen- tre-fleld. He is also a pitcher. Haig Lavery, another Toronto acquisition to the locals, held up his end in fine style also, along with Johnny Colvin. Leveille didn't see action Friday, due to an injured hand, but Palmer Knight, up from the local Junior Transporters to help out and Brent Oldfield, Transporters' short- stop, both turned in bang-up games for the Motors at Brantford, while homebrews Ted O'Connor and Georgie Brabin were in the thick of the attack also. BRANTFORD Red Sox took another lacing on Saturday, losing their game up in London to the Majors, 20-2. These teams meet again tomorrow night back in Brantford and on Wednesday, Oshawa goes to St. Thomas, where they can expect a warm greeting. The team had another workout yesterday and among those present were Bobby Prentice and his brother Bruce. The ex-Toronto Leaf still has not an- nounced whether he's going to report to Cleveland's farm team or not and he might be in an Oshawa uniform before very long. On Satur- day, Brantford Red Sox play here in Oshawa, in what should be the opening of a successful senior baseball season here. This local team, a combine of Toronto talent and homebrew products, should prove popular with the Oshawa baseball fans and Rollie Leveille has them hustling. BRIGHT BITS: ---- Fabius, carrying 126 pounds, won the Jersey Stakes at Garden State Park on Saturday but down in California, Swaps was upset in" a stretch finish when Porterhouse nipped the favorite by a nose, at the wire. JIM LEA set a new world's record for the 440-yard dash on Saturday night. His time was 45.8 first time any runner has ever bettered 46 seconds for this distance AL SIMMONS, one of baseball's all-time greats, who earned a niche in the Hall of Fame by swinging his potent bat from the right side of the plate with his left "deep in the bucket', died suddenly at Mil- waukee on Saturday.

New Homer Record | PITTSBURGH (AP)--Dale Long, 30-year-old Pittsburgh Pirate first {baseman who has achieved some- thing baseball's greatest sluggers never accomplished, is a little bit awed by the fan reaction. A $2,500 "merit raise" has been given Long as the result of his terrific batting which includes belt- ing seven homers in as many con secutive games for a major league record. Sometime before tonight's game with Brooklyn he expects to stop in the office of Pirate general manager Joe Brown and sign a contract calling for $16,500 But the effect of his achieve- ments on the fans apparently is just as pleasing to Long as the money "It used to be that I'd walk through a crowd and hardly any- body would notice me' Long said "Now it's different. I went to an affair last week as a favor to a friend. The people just stood around with their mouths open They gaped at me like I was a freak or something. But don't get me wrong, I liked it very much." Shortly after Long hit his seventh homer in as many games against Philadelphia at the Quaker City Saturday, general manager Brown was on the phone to tell him he was getting a new con- tract--and the $2,500 raise. The big and off it goes like a jet plane. Hlthea Gibson, | Negro Netter France Champ PARIS (AP)--Althea Gibson of New York, the first Negro woman admitted to the U.S. Lawn Ten nis Association rankings, continued her domination of the international circuit Saturday when she won the French women's singles champion by beating defending titleholder Angela Mortimer of 'Britain 6-0, 12-10. Miss Gibson's victory, her sev- enth in succession and 13th in all in the tour which began in India last December, overshadowed Lew Hoad"s expected victory over Swe- den's Sven Davidson in the men's final 6-4, 86, 6-3. The big blond from Australia blew Davidson off fellow said he was so grateful he choked up. Long *has been the spark which| has kept the Pirates in the thick of the National League race. He's the league leader in three import- ant departments: 13 home runs, a .419 batting average and 36 runs batted in. Those are three big rea- sons why the Pirates are in third place on an 18-13 mark and only two games out of first place. | Long has been in baseball since 1944. He played with nine minor league teams beore getting his first chance with the Pirates in 1951. That was the season former Pirate general manager Branch Rickey trigd to convert Long into a left-handed catcher. After play- ing only 10 games with Pirates Long was waived out of the ieague and wound up with St. Louis in the American League. St. Louis cut him loose and somehow he wound up in the Pir- ate chain again. He blossomed un- der Bobby Bragan in 1953 and 1954 at Hollywood of the Pacific Coast League and last year hit 291 as the Pirates regular first baseman. | Long's explanation for his out- standing showing this season is simple: "Confidence, and the fact that I'm not trying to kill the ball like I once did.

"KOINS KINSMEN CLUB OF OSHAWA FOR KIDDIES" THE week of May 28 to June 2nd, this year, has been proclaimed as Kinsmen Week. During this week, the Kinsmen Club of Oshawa will have milk bottles placed in the various re- tail outlets throughout the City, with the co-operation of the owners and managers. It is hoped at this time that the public will deposit contributions in these bottles which will en- able the Kinsmen to continue their service work for the child- ren of Oshawa. This campaign is aptly lab- elled, "Koins for Kiddies Thru Kinsmen' and as the name im- plies, the proceeds of this pro- ject will be used to enlarge and maintain their outstanding work in Child Safety. The protection of the children of our city has been greatly increased through the programmes of: Elmer the Safety Elephant, School Safety Patrols for which the Kinsmen supply the equipment, City play- ground equipment, and the tap- ing of bicycles with reflector tape. : The success of past ap- | peals, by the Kinsmen Club for support to money-raising pro- jects has been most gratifying and the same is anticipated at this time, when such appeals are limited. From May 28th to June 2nd, give "Koins for Kiddies Thru' 'Kinsmen.'
