14 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Thursdey, May 4, 1961 EDMONTON APPLY PRESSURE THAT WON SECOND STRAIGHT GAME sports MENU Spahn Breaks By Geo. H. Campbell SPORTS EDITOR 'Everything From Soup To Nuts' EDMONTON OIL KINGS are hanging on! They won last night's game 4-2, to force the Memorial Cup finals into a sixth game and right now they stand in a position to create a major upset. If they should win the big sixth game tomorrow night, they'll force the Memor- ial Cup finals to a Tth deciding game--which would be quite a feat, after losing the first three. Looks as if the climate has caught up with the "Irish" but more than that, we feel that the replacements Edmonton added to their team after the first game, have finally started to click with the rest of the Oil Kings and they are now quite a formidable hockey combination. This doesn't by any means say that St. Mike's are finished. They can--and certainly might--end it all tomorrow night in the sixth game. They were due for a let-up or lull, or even a slump, if you want to call it that, because they've been coming from behind ever since tHe playoffs started and they weren't really picked to take it all They only achieved the role of favorites when Guelph lost two of their top stars, due to injuries. But since then, you have to give credit to Father Dave Bauer's ! boys, they've done a fine job and they still are favored to win the Memorial Cup. and TONIGHT ! There's a very important softball meet- ing called for this evening, at 7:30 o'clock, at the UAW Hall, Bond Street. President "Wib"" Hall wants every OASA team (not Midgets or Bantams, of course) play- ing under the banner of the Oshawa City and District Softball Association, to have their representatives on hand at this meeting tonight. We understand that plans are completed for an inter-locking schedule with the Peterborough four-team league, with doubleheaders to be played here at Alexandra Park every Tuesday and Thursday. In addition, the local teams will compete in their own "City League" while Tony's, entered in the | Toronto Beaches League, are expected to play their "home games" each Wednesday night, also at Alexandra | Park. The South Ontario County League is also going to be very active this year, with OASA entries of varied status, competing in this circuit. Looks like another busy softball season and tonight's meeting is important, Be there! BRIGHT BITS:- Oshawa Minor Hockey Association held its annual "victory banquet" and trophy presenta- tion night, at Legion Hall last night and it was the biggest event of its kind in the city's history----with 241 hockey workers and young hockey players present. Too much credit to the adults, referees, managers, coaches, publicty men, officers and others who help out, trainers, equipment men, St. John's Ambulance Corps, etc., ete., can not be given. This is the biggest and finest minor hockey set-up in the Dominion of Canada . . . LAST SEASON, Toronto Leafs won the Internation- al League title, mostly on the strength of their pitching strength. Yesterday they had two grand-slam homers in one inning and clobbered Jersey City 15-3 for their "home opening" victory--the kind of action the home fans love. If Leafs don't win it all this year--they'll get bigger crowds with that kind of action BOB TURLEY pitched his third win for the season, yesterday as Yankees beat the Minnesota Twins 7-3 CHARLIE BOLAND, young jockey who has been punting 'em home with rare success at the Fort Erie meet, was in a bad spill yesterday and it is feared he suffered a fractured skull, when his head hit the guard-rail, in the tumble SAN JUAN isn't doing too well in the International League schedule just now and word is out that they may move---to Montreal, Wouldn't that SPORTS IN BRIEF TERRIERS GET SPONSOR and set a European record in GALT (CP) -- Galt Terriers, winning the 400-metres freestyle fifth-place finishers in the Inter: swimming title of the Hapoel county, B a se ball Association!

It was a jinx honored by three Milwaukee managers -- Charlie Grimm, Fred Haney and the present Braves' boss, Charlie Dressen. Grimm and Haney juggled their pitching rotation whenever they could to keep Spahn free of facing the Dod- gers. Dressen didn't start Spahn against them at all last year. Wednesday night, Dressen, perhaps out of desperation after the rest of his staff had been slugged for 16 home runs in three games, finally went against his book and Warren the Wonder went to work. Making his first start since pitching a no-hitter against San Francisco Giants Friday, Spahn ispun a two - hitter for a 4-1 decision over IL os Angeles, walking just two and striking out nine for his 291st career victory and first over the Dod- gers in seven decisions span- {ning four seasons. He allowed | Junior Gilliam a pop-fly double fin the third and Tommy Davis a single in the ninth. GIANTS TAKE LEAD In other games, San Fran- cisco rapped Chicago Cubs 8-4 and regained first place when St. Louis Cardinals spilled Pitts- burgh Pirates 3-1. Cincinnati defeated Philadelphia Phillies 9-3. Spahn, stopping the Braves' skid at three games, had lost six in a row to the Dodgers since July 30, 1958, and hadn't started against them since mid- June, 1959. His lifetime mark against them is 15-30. No other club has an edge on Spahn, who has won three straight after a 21 loss in 100 innings. to St. Louis Spahn, whose earned run av- erage is 097, scored the clincher himself, doubling in J ; the second inning for the first of his three hits and coming in on Lee Maye's single. Stan Wil- liams (1-2) lost. The Cardinals, shut out for 14 innings, jumped on Vinegar Bend Mizell (2-1) for all three runs in the fifth inning. Ken Boyer and Daryl Spencer opened with singles and scored on catcher Smoky Burgess"s wild throw. NELSON HOMERS Bob Gibson won it, with Lindy | McDaniel's mop-up relief after Rocky Nelson's homer broke up a four hit shutout in the eighth. A three - run seventh, with two runs unearned, broke a 3-3 tie for the Giants. Willie Mc- Covey's single drove in the de- ciding run and tagged rokkie Jack Crutis with the defeat in his first decision. Billy O'Dell (1-1) won, relieving Mike Mc- Cormick in the first inning af- ter the young lefty suffered a gashed lip when hit by Don Zimmer's bouncer. Ernie Banks hit two solo hom- ers for the Cubs and Orlando Cepeda rapped a two - run shot for the Giants, who fell one shy of the record of 16 homers for four consecutive games. The Reds made it four in a row, three over the Phils, with a two - run fifth off Johnny Buzhardt (0-2). Jim Maloney (1-1) won, with relief by Bill Henry after Clay Dalrymple's three - run homer in the eighth, Bye Bye Byrd To Race At Yonkers YONKERS, N.Y.
