Campbell SPORTS EDITOR 'Everything From Soup To Nuts' O'NEILL COLLEGIATE athletes completed their annual Inter-House track and field meet yesterday and no fewer than eight new records were established by this year's performers--quite a feat when it is recalled how little good weather we've had lately for training and practising. Alexandra Park with its proximity to OCVI and a good cinder track (two-thirds of it is good, anyway) probably rates an assist for the O'Neill boys. Some of the times turned in yesterday, on a 'slow track" were remarkable, considering conditions, especi- ally in the middle-distance events, 440, half-mile and mile. The winners compete in the "Lakeshore District" Interscholastic athletic meet against other secondary school athletes, at Pickering, on Friday of this week. Winners there qualify to go to Trenton for the COSSA meet on Saturday, May 20 and the following Saturday, survivors go to Guelph, to compete in the Ontario Fed- eration championships. Some of the Oshawa and Whitby athletes appear good enough to qualify for Guelph, thanks to their own ability and the good coaching they are receiving. JIM GENTILE, who made like an elevator while with the Dodgers' chain, shuttling from minor up to majors and back again, without sticking, finally hit big league status last year with Baltimore Orioles. This year he has been even better at the plate but yesterday he wrote his name into the record book and made base- ball history. He became the first major leaguer to get eight RBI's in successive innings and he did it in spec- tacular fashion, two grand-slam homers, and in the first inning of the game yet. Today he'll be sitting on the Oriole bench--because they only use him against certain type of pitching. Gentile bats left-handed, so he is seldom used against left-handed pitching--but at that, he leads the RBI race with 30 so far this season---nine of these his own home-runs BITS OF SPORT:- Herb Score, who h really shown too much since Gil McDougald's line-drive almost cost him the sight of one eye, back in 1957, came up with a two-hitter for Chicago White Sox---and against his former Cleveland mates at that.
