Campbell SPORTS EDITOR 'Everything From Soup To Nuts OSHAWA "IMPS" have another scheduled "home game" tomorrow night at Kinsmen Civic Memorial Sta- dium, at eight o'clock and local sports fans, especially the football variety, along with all other local sports- minded citizens who accept the responsibility of giving a purely "homebrew" age-limit sports team the support any such strictly local effort deserves, should be on hand. We're not predicting an Oshawa victory--the "Imps" playing their first season in Interprovincial Rugby Football Union Junior ranks have been finding the going very tough indeed--but they certainly haven't been disgraced. The powerful Toronto teams, bolstered by their experience of previous years, have proven to have an.edge on the Oshawa boys in "polish," which comes from the combination of experience and ability. But in the matter of "ye olde college try" the Oshawa "Imps" have had to take a back-seat from none of them. North York Knights, the visitors tomorrow night, are leading the legaue. They boast several outstanding stars, several of whom had a tryout with Toronto Argos . this season and others who are ticketed to get a chance next year. Among the Argo prospects is the sensational forward-passing star Norm Turner, who, it will be re- called, took a jaunt to California this year to complete his education and remain free of draft restrictions, so that he could try again for Argos next year--when he's expected to be a cinch to be signed. Turner is just one of several classy Toronto Junior football stars who are headed for professional careers in the Big Four, providing they continue to show im- provement in this Junior League. A couple of the Oshawa prove in this Junior League. A couple of the Oshawa players have also caught the eye of Argo scout Teddy Morris. On Saturday morning, "Imps" took a licking from the Lakeshore Bears, after taking the lead with the first touchdown of the game. A costly fumble in their own end, in the second quarter, was the turning point of the game, Tomorrow night, at Kinsmen Sta- dium, the "Imps" will move in against the league-lead- ing North York team with plenty of determination, Oshawa fans, almost a thousand of them, turned out to see the "Imps" in their opening game a month ago, Last week, there was a surprising attendance of about a hundred, in spite of the fact they stood or sat in pouring rain for the entire game. Wednesday's game should attract a much bigger crowd. The men who or- ganized the new Oshawa Junior Football Club Inc. have received encouraging support from several local sports-minded citizens and community-spirited firms and industries, Local service clubs have also given strong support to the group of men who got together to provide organized football for the young graduates of this city's three "collegiate" schools. The other "good Joe"--Mr. Sports Fan--can show his appreciation by turning out tomorrow night at Kinsmen Stadium and to the other home games, one here on Thanksgiving Day afternoon and the other a week from tomorrow night. The boys playing hard for the "Imps" will appre= ciate this support. DOGERS need just one more win. After Sherm Lol- lar hit a three-run homer in the 7th inning, poking the ball over "The Thing" in left field, to tie the score. Gil Hodges came up in the 8th inning and did the same thing, to make it 5-4 and that's how it ended. Now the White Sox face the Dodgers again today in Los Angeles and for the Chicago club, it's win--or else--or else its all over and they don't get a chance to finish it up at Comiskey Park, back home. Larry Sherry, who did yeo- man service as a relief pitcher to help Dodgers clinch victories in both the second and third games, came in yesterday with the score tied and won this one for him- self. Dodgers continue to display sparkling defensive ball, with their snappy double-play proving an effec- tive weapon when White Sox threaten to get a rally going. So far the Dodgers have "had it" in the clutch and if they keep it up--it's likely to be all over in five games. BRIGHT BITS: -- Hottest baseball news, outside of the World Series, is that Fred Haney has definitely resigned as manager of Milwaukee Braves. It's hinted Leo Durocher may go to Milwaukee , . . K-W DUTCH- MEN have demanded $2,500 from Alouettes for Milt Campbell, ex~-Hamilton Tiger-Cat star . . . TORONTO ARGOS are approaching a million-dollar season, if their attendance keeps up and almost a cinch if they make the Big Four finals . . . OSTRANDERS of Toronto lost their first Senior "B" playoff game to Kingston but Bill v Losing Streak Finally Ended By THE CANADIAN PRESS That painfully depressing los- ing streak in the Western Inter- provincial Football Union ended dramatically Monday night for Saskatchewan Roughriders. They picked up their first vie- tory in 11 games with a 15-14 de- cision over British Columbia Lions when Ferdinand (The Bull) Burket kicked a single point in the final 21 seconds. Riders thus avoided the humiliation of setting a conference record for consecu- tive losses. In the league's other game, Winnipeg Blue Bombers beat Calgary Stampeders 38-24 to con- solidate their hold on first place. Burket scored both Roughrider touchdowns and kicked two singles. Guard Reg Whitehouse| kicked a convert for the other Saskatchewan point. It was a tense windup for the 25,778 customers at Vancouver's Empire Stadium. The score was tied 14-14 with 90 seconds to go. Riders were in possession on the Lions' 29-vard line. Burket punted to Bill Jessup in the end zone. Jessup booted the ball back. Lions were penal- ized for not giving the Saskatche- wan receiver yards and Riders took over on the B.C. five-yard line. Quarterback Don Allard barged over centre for only two yards. Burket then hoofed the ball far into the stands, and the Riders enjoyed a victory celebration for the first time this year, The Riders had suffered their 10 straight losses, tying the rec- ord set by Lions last season. Their first win came almost to the day that Lions got their initial victory last year. It was sweet victory for Frank Tripucka, former Rider quarter- back who returned to Saskatche- wan as head coach last week. Don Vicic and Ed Vereb scored touchdowns for B.C. End Jerrr Janes converted one of them and halfback Harold Sparrow kicked a single. At Winnipeg, before 15,784 fans, halfback Harvey Wylie of Stam- peders ran the opening kickoff back 105 yards for a touchdown. Quarterback Jim Van Pelt, a star for Winnipeg, booted a field goal and five converts and passed for touchdowns to Leo Lewis, Ernie Pitts and Ferrell Funston. Lewis threw a touchdown pass home run was the first homer hit off the Sox' Gerry Staley in 67 innings. Staley, who yielded onlv six all season, gave up his last circuit blow before Hodges to Red Wilson of Detroit July 3. The pinch-hitters have col lected only two hits in 11 tries for a .182 average. The only pinch-swingers to come through were the Dodgers' Chuck Es- segian with a homer in the second game and Carl Furillo with his bases-loaded single in the third. After looking at the batting figures, one would think it was the White Sox who lead the Dodgers three games to one instead of the other way around. The Sox haye scored more runs, 19 to 12, collected more hits, 41 to 31 and have a batting average of .295 to the Dodgers' .240. The: White Sox, on the other hand, were supposed to have more base stealing and double play ability.

It appears the games will be held mainly to decide which three teams join Montreal Cana-| diens in the post-season Stanley Cup playoffs. Opinion around the six - team circuit is nearly unanimous that the powerful Canadiens, winners of the Stanley Cup for an un- precedented four ec tiv years, have enough top players to split into two teams--and both would make the playoffs. New York Rangers, last year's most disappointed team, open the schedule against Chicago Black Hawks at Chicago. The Hawks finished third last year. The to Carver Shannon and Charlie Shepard plunged five yards for the fifth Bomber touchdown. Rangers, in second place at one point, staged ome of hockey's most spectacular collapses and] Paton pitched a 5-2 win in the second game and went four innings in relief to win the third and deciding game 8-5, Ostranders go to Sault Ste.

Barry has been drafted by Detroit. Eddie Shack, a much - touted| Ranger rookie who got nowhere last season, is playing seriously this year and should come into his own, Watson said.

Landis, Nellie Fox and Ted Kluszewski hammered out the singles, Kluszewski scor- ing Landis before Lollar cleared the bases, Turk Lown and Billy Pierce had been in and out as Chicago pitching relief before Staley took over in the seventh. Staley sur- vived the seventh without diffi- culty and then came Hodges' came-winner, HITS WASTED Again the White Sox outhit the Dodgers, 10-9, but left nine men on base while the Dodgers stranded only six. "We've outfielded them and outhit them--but we lose," said Chicago manager Al Lopez, who shook off a suggestion that his Sox have been playing in bad luck. "Not when we get all those hits," said Al, "And it isn't be- cause of this park either. "On six hits during any game this year we score a lot of runs. That's been our success all year --getting runs on very few hits." "But now, we're not."

Several have given Him just as much of a thrill as the one he hit Monday to win a (world series game 5-4 for the | Dodgers. But none has given him greater satisfaction. Gil rarely has much to say and almost never gushes over anything. But in the quiet of his hiol Lot To Hodges "I didn't move up to the plate because I am still bothered a little by the ankle I sprained sev- eral weeks ago." Gil stopped talking. It was the longest discourse he had held in a long time. The homer, you see, had come off an outside pitch -- a sinker; low and away--a breaking ball. Hodges hit it off probably the best relief pitcher in the Ameri- can League without even waiting and without moving up om the plate. Just swinging the old fashioned way. This was the same kind of pitch that had been ponsible for his having in the far end of the clubhouse, the big first baseman attempted to describe how he felt when he drove Gerry Staley's pitch into the open left field stands. "It's always a thrill to hit a {home run," Hodges began "but |this one was a little different." OUTSIDE PITCH TROUBLE He thought for a moment care- fully selecting his words. "You know of all the trouble I've had with outside pitches," he said, "especially the breaking kind." "They've been the bane of my ilife. Every pitcher in the league is aware of my dislike for that outside pitch and every pitcher makes sure I get nothing but the outside pitch. "Mv power, as you can guess, is the inside pitch, but I rarely ver git it. e "ve seen the outside pitch so often, you would think by now, after all these years, 1 would have learned to hit it. I have adjusted myself to it, but I still don't like it. This year I've been doing a little better against the pitch because I have learned to wait a bit longer on it. Also I've moved up on the plate to protect he outside corner." py that what Hodges did when he faced Staley with none out in the eighth and the score tied at 4-4? JUST SWUNG AWAY "That's what I've been trying to get at," said Hodges. "I did neither .of those things when I hit that homer off Staley. I didn't dare wait on the pitch because of the bad background here in daylight. I had trouble seeing the ball coming out of all those white shirts. I couldn't afford to hesi- tate - the slightest fraction of 2 second. PREP FOR JUBILEE PACE WESTBURY, N.Y. (AP) set an ignominious record of mo hits in 21 times at bat in the 1952 world series. That's what t to Gil Hodges. OTTAWA (CP)--Coach Frank Clair Monday gave Ottawa Rough Riders a day off from practice, shut himself in his ine ner sanctum and began planning strategy for next weekend's $wo- game series with Montreal Alouettes. "I'm very worried about Alou- ettes," he said. "They've taken a couple of defeats by big scores and I think they're going to be very hungry." Clair's new assistant, backfield coach George Terlep, Saturday scouted the Alouettes, who also lost 436 to Riders three weeks ago. Riders rested their legs Mon- day, after winning a tough battle 9-7 in Hamilton Saturday. Centre Bruno Bitkowski is suffering from a bruised knee and Lou Bruce suffered a concussion and a . wR said he expects both will ay next week. =~ Jackie Parker Is Second In Scoring WINNIPEG (CP) -- Edmonton star Jackie Parker scored 14 points Saturday night to close with a rush on end Ernie Pitts of Winnipeg, scoring leader in the Western Interprovincial Football Union, Pitts still has a comfortable martin with a total of 72 points, but while the Eskimos were beat- ing Saskatchewan Roughriders 44-15 Parker raised his total to 58 to jump from fifth to second. Parker's scoring included a touchdown, a field goal and five converts. Buzzie Bavasi Goes To Bed LOS ANGELES (AP) -- E. J. (Buzzie) Bavasi, vice - president and general manager of Los Angeles Dodgers, was ordered to bed by the club physician Mon- day night suffering from exhaus- tion. Bavasi drove home from the Coliseum with his wife after Monday's world series game and complained that he felt weak and wobbly. The couple were to attend a Dodgers baseball party. He was given a stimulative shot and ordered to bed to rest. Jammed Series To Vent Spite Police Charge MARQUETTE, Mich. (AP)-- pA discharged television station engineer was blamed Monday for blanking out TV reception of the first three games of the world series throughout the up- per peninsula. Deputies said Harold Lind- gren, 36, of Marquette, was ar- rested and signed a statement admitting he jammed a metal household scouring pad into a. television 'microwave relay tower the night of Sept. 30. Other engineers found the pad and said it had disrupted network TV signals fed from Green Bay, Wis. to station WLUC-TV here, the only tele vision station in the upper peninsula. Lindgren was arrested when engineers told police only an- other engineer could have done such a thing. f Officers said Lindgren, fired from the station Sept, 10 for insubordination, told them he did it for spite. He was ordered held until authorities decide what charges, if anv, to file against him, Monday's game, the fourth in the series but the first in the area, went out perfectly, the station said.
