'|4 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Thursday, October 5, 1961 FORD'S SHUTOUT PITCHING AND HOWARD'S HOMER WOULD Yankee Infield Displays Class > WHITEY FORD IN ACTION-THEY MAY CALL HIM "WHITEWASH" SOON | SPORTS MENU By Geo. H. Campbell SPORTS EDITOR 'Everything From Soup To Nuts' N.Y. YANKEES called on their famous World Series hurler to pitch the opening game of the 1961 and he didn't let them down. Ford got his nickname "Whitey" because of his light blonde hair, we understand, but we could also understand it if they start calling him "White- wash". This was his third-straight shutout pitching performance in World Series action and he is now with- in three innings of beating the all-time series shutout innings, held by none other, and this will surprise a lot of baseball fans, Babe Ruth. It could be another of the great Bambino's record book entries is to be changed this season. Yesterday, Ford was at his left-handed best, gave up only two hits and was never in trouble, Yankees achieved the 2-0 victory on two homers, the first by Elston Howard in the fourth inning, his fifth World Series circuit clout, and the other, in the sixth inning, by Bill Skowron. The Reds got excellent pitch- ing from Jim O'Toole also, but"they didn't get any homers. Sharing defensive honors with Ford was third baseman Cletis Boyer, who pulled off two super-duper diving stops, one to the right and the other to his left, he left his feet to snare the ball on both of them and both times recovered to cap the sensational plays with perfect throws to first base, in time to get the runner. Shortstop Kasko and centre fielder Pinson of the Red- legs, both earned the unstinted applause of the 62,397 fans, with their spectacular plays. With shutout pitch- ing, only homers for runs and brilliant fielding -- the 1961 World Series is certainly off to a great start. It's too early yet to expect it, but it could prove one of the best ever. | | : OSHAWA LEGIONNAIRES missed out last night in their bid to capture the 1961 Leaside Junior Baseball League pennant, when they dropped the third game of the finals to Moore Drugs, 6-3. Dick Krol, son of the famous Argo football star, Joe, was the key man in this deciding game -- his last as an an amateur perhaps, since he is already signed to play professional baseball next season. Krol not only pitched a six-hitter but he had two hits, one a home run, to spark his team's at- « tack. Legionnaires had a couple of shaky frames early as Moore's got three runs in the second and a pair in the third. It was Roger "Satch" Reeson's first and only de- feat of the season in the Leaside League, where he was the year's top pitcher, undefeated with seven wins. The Oshawa Juniors haven't time to waste in regrets. They gave it a fine try and certainly had a good year in the Leaside loop. Tonight; they go to Kitchener for the sec- ond game of their OBA Junior "A" semi-final series against the K-W Dodgers, whom they beat here on Monday night in a real thriller. If Legionnaires fail to clean up the series tonight, it's expected the third and deciding game will be here on Saturday or Sunday afternoon TONIGHT, at Alexandra Park, eight o'clock, it's the fourth game of the City Championship softball finals, with Tony's Vendors faced with the task of hav- ing to win to force a fifth game, or yield the title to Heffering's Imperials. Don't know who will get the pitching assignments, since both clubs have two reliable hurlers ready. Tony's have to "push" for this one but there's little to choose between the two clubs, so the strategy employed by rival managers Bruno Wrubel and Sammy Stark, should make for an interesting even- ing. METCALF REALTORS Junior Girls' softball team of this city, competing in the Coxwell Stadium Junior tournament, are enjoying great success, having won three-straight games. They whipped Clair Lea Park 8-4 in the first game, took Toronto Comets 6-2 in their sec- ond outing and on Sunday last, they won 7-0 over To- ronto Imperials. place position.

The Texas-born | Mickey Was Missing NEW YORK (AP)--All sea son long men who know have been saying that the New York Yankees infield could be one of| the best in the long history of baseball. Their words of praise, how- ever, could scarcely be heard above the clamor about the home run hitting of Roger Ma- ris and Mickey Mantle. Come the world series, with Mantle on the sidelines and Maris handcuffed by Cincinna- ti's pitching, it was the infield that took the spotlight in an opening game 2-0 victory over the Reds. The fielding of the Yankees infielders was flawless and Clete Boyer was sensational at third. In the second inning he trapped a hard smash by Gene Freese that easily could have been a hit and threw him out. In the eighth, pinch-hitter Dick Gernert slammed the ball to Bo- yer's left. He managed to stop it, fell flat, and then got to one knee and threw out Gemert. HUTCH CONVINCED "Our scouting reports said he was better than his brother and I said I'd have to see it," said manager Fred Hutchinson of the Reds. "Well, I saw it." Clete's brother is Ken Boyer of St. Louis Cardinals. Wally Post singled in the fifth, adyanced to second on Gordon Coleman's grounder, and went charging toward third on Dar- rel Johnson's rap to Boyer. Bo- yer tagged out Post, who hit the third baseman hard, nearly knocking him down. Boyer's mouth was swollen afterwards. "I shoud have been more careful," said Clete, without bit- BOOKIES FAVOR YANKEES 4-TO-1 LAS VEGAS, Nev.
