SPORTS MENU "Everything from Soup to Nuts" -by Geo. H. Campbell SPORTS EDITOR Last night's wrestling show end- ed in another of those wild rhu- barbs that have become almost habit every time The Great Togo comes to Oshawa. Whipper Watson won the first and third falls, offi- cially that is, but Togo was given credit for the third and deciding fall at one stage and then Referee Dunlop recognized that he had made a mistake and made the two gladiators continue. They didn't continue long before Watson down- ed Togo for the deciding fall. Even then the fans weren't satisfied and they rushed the rig to give Togo a little of their own version of "the treatment". It was a wild and hectic finish to a vicious bout. Prior to this, two bouts had ended in draws but the main bout more then made up for what had gone 'before, when 'it came to excitement and enthusiasm. It's the General Motors Gold Cup day, over at the Oshawa Lawn Bowling Club today, big- gest day in the local lawn bowl- ers' calendar. They've got 96 rinks competing for the $1,500 worth of prizes and it promises to be one of the biggest turna- ments in the history of the event. They've got 13 Oshawa rinks competing too, and it's just 'about time one of the local four- somes came out on top. Oshawa Merchants are idle to- | night again and tomorrow but on Friday night they move into Guelph to face the Maple Léafs in an Inter- County league tilt. Next big game at home here is the Kiwanis All Star game booked for the Stadium this Saturday night. The Lakeshore League All-Stars have been named and the voting was very keen. To- day's paper carried a list of the players selected. Tickets are now on sale and in addition to the fact that the Merchants are to play the Lakeshore League's best, the RCA- Victor television set, premier at- tendance prize, is also attracting a great deal of attention and ticket sale is brisk.
