14. THE OSHAWA TIMES, Pridey, October 5, 1962 _ YANKEE PLATE POWER, PLUS WHITEY FORD'S WORLD SERIES HABIT, MAKES IT EASY BOYER'S HOMER-- -- Clete | man, turns for home after he Boyer, Yankee third base- | smacked a ball into the left- field bleachers in the seventh inning of yesterday's game at 'SPORTS MENU By Geo. H. Campbell SPORTS EDITOR "tverything From Soup To Nuts' | | | BELIEVE-IT-OR-NOT, but last night's steady rain was actually welcomed by a lot of local softball players and fans --an entirely new attitude toward any mid-week rain during the softball season. But there's a reason -- this time, the all-night rain didn't "hurt" anybody. There were no ball games scheduled for last night and there isn't one on tap for this evening either, so even a wet diamond wouldn't do any harm tonight. But, the way they have it figured, is that if we got the big rain last night,now it should clear up nicely in time for the big All-Ontario championship playoff games here Saturday, the diamond should be in tip-top condition and there's a good chance that we may enjoy a bright, sunny weekend. At any rate, that's exactly what is wanted around these parts over the Thanksgiving Holiday weekend because there is a lot of sports activity scheduled for three days. OSHAWA has three softball teams competing in All- Ontario championship finals for OASA titles this weekend. Oshawa Genosha Aces are off to Timmins, to contest the Juvenile "A" crown, held last year by Brockville. Aces fig- ure on two games on Saturday and if a third game is neces- sary, it will be played on Sunday. This is pretty well the pattern that is followed in all OASA All-Ontario rounds, where possible. With this type of scheduling, the team that has travelled several hundred miles for the North-South series, can have Monday to travel back home, if the series is over and also, if there is rain on either of the first two days, Monday is still available, so that the long trip will not be a total loss. The schedule for Oshawa fans tomorrow can be learned in the Sports Calendar, elsewhere in today's sports news. Pic-O-Mats and Sault Ste. Marie are playing Saturday at 2.00 p.m. and 8.00 p.m. and if the series goes the limit, the thifd game will be at four o'clock on Sunday afternoon. Mac- Lean's and Elliot Lake open their series with a 4.15 p.m. game tomorrow and the second game is called for 1.00 p.m. on Sunday. Should their series go the limit, they will play the third game either later in the afternoon or early on Mon- day. "SOFTBALL FANS here have it figured that Pic-O-Mats have an excellent chance of winning the Inter. "AA" title, held last year by Niagara Falls. They have a strong fielding team, with a fair amount of power at the plate and an espec- ially strong pitching department, with Ronnie Taylor, their ace, being counted on to stop the Sault Ste Marie sluggers. In his last four playoff appearances, Taylor has had a no-hit, no-turr game, a 1-hit shutout and a 2-hit shutout, plus another 2-hitter. Nothing has been heard about the team from the "Soo" but they have won a lot of OASA championships there and no doubt have worthy representatives for this year's title-bid. In the Intermediate "A" finals, it's hard to make a guess. Last year, Elliot Lake lost out in the Inter. '""B" finals to Waterford and in 1960, Elliot Lake won that title. This year, both Elliot Lake and Waterford moved up to In- termediate "'A" ranks and MacLean's had to go to the very limit to beat out Waterford in this year's Southern finals. Elliot Lake put out Sudbury, last year's Inter. "A" All-Ontario championship defenders, so they must be rated as powerful contenders for the 62 crown. MasLean's, who can be guilty of in-and-out displays, will have to be in top form to claim the lauréls, At any rate, all three games here tomorrow should draw banner crowds. + WORLD SERIES? Aw, let's not talk about that game, eh! We were hoping the Giants could win but that Whitey Ford was in his usual brilliant World Series form, the Yan- kees, as usual, produced power in other players, even if Mickey Mantle went hitless and to top it all, Mickey hit a "homer" in the 9th but it curved foul at the last few feet -- and we had No. 9 in the pool. What's the use?

Satisfied with his team's all- around performance in the se- ries opener, Houk planned to use the same line-up that rapped Giant pitching for 11 hits--in- cluding a home run by, Clete Boyer--and brought the Yan- kees their fourth straight World Series triumph over the Giants. The Yankees won the last three games in 1951, the last time the two teams met. MAKES CHANGES Dark decided on_ several changes. He benched Orlando Cepeda, Harvey Kuenn and Ed Bailey, inserting left-handed hit- ting replacements Willie Mc- Covey at first, Matty Alou in left field and Tom Haller behind the plate. : Bailey is a left-handed hitter, too, but Haller, a former Illinois quarterback, normally catches Sanford.

"The stitches won't matter." Kuenn and Cepeda failed to get a hit Thursday as Whitey Ford tamed the Giants on 10 hits for his 10th World Series triumph. Cepeda, the National League's leading home-run hit- ter and runs-batted-in leader in 1961, left four runners on base and hit into a double play to kill off a promising Giant rally.

By BOBBY RICHARDSON SAN FRANCISCO (AP) --It always feels good to win that first one. We beat a good team today: The score (6-2) may not indicate it but the Giants battled us all the way. It was a typical Yankee vic- noi We got the long ball, the tight pitching and the good de- I was particularly pleased that Clete Boyer hit that home run which broke a 2-2 tie in the seventh inning. I couldn't help but think backa couple of years, to the opening game of the 1960 World Series in' Pitts- burgh, when Casey Stengel took him out for a pinch hitter in the first inning. 4 The player who impressed me the most, however, was Willie Mays, He's great. I had played| against him before but only in a couple of all-star games and one exhibition game. And even then I was in the game only two or three. innings so I didn't really get an opportunity. to see much of 'him. 'Won't Fall Dead' Says N.Y.

After a day off from the playoff, the lift will return. I think after threé games 'ike we had with Los Angeles, you have to have a day off even to realize you're in the World Se- es. I'm the Giants' player repre- sentative and I think I may bring this up. I know it's tough but psychologically there has to h e. because they like to play the series through the weekend. But I think for the sake of the players and the fans there should be a day off regardless of how long the playoff runs. YANKS HAVEN'T CHANGED _ We've bounced back all sea- son long, though. If we had to lose one, I'm glad it was today, and not sometime else, or we wouldn't even be here, Those Yankees are tough just like they were when 1. was in the American League. They still ave good power and defense. Whitey. Ford was as good as ever, except I thought he was a little quicker, He's always had good breaking stuff and I don't think he hung a curve ball to- day. On that fly ball in the eighth inning where they scored a run, I was waiting on it and I called for it but Jose Pagan didn't hear me with the crowd noise and all. I don't think the run would have scored because I was set to throw.
