10 : THE OSHAWA TIMES, Saturday, Mey 27, 1961 1 Old Warren Wins - Bounces Dodgers-- Cards Can Pirates 4 GIANTS' MAYS LOSES RACE TO 2ND. AGAINST CUBS' KINDALL 'SPORTS MENU By Geo. H. Campbell SPORTS EDITOR 'Everything From Soup To Nuts "FIELD DAY" -- We've got Oshawa Collegiate athletes competing up in Guelph today, for provincial hbnors and maybe some of the athletes from O'Neill or Central, or Donevan Collegiate will make the grade. Actually, it doesn't really matter. The big things is that they are competing at the top level. If some of our Oshawa athletes should come through with top honors, that is fine, If they fail -- that is not fatal. The local competitions have been held and have proven worth while. Next "big thing" on the local track and field agenda is the Public Schools' big annual athletic meet. This is to be held on Wednesday, June 14. This is still a long way agay but in the meantime, local school athletes will be in strict training for the event. The big "do" at Alexandra Park on June 14, will be a real highlight for the local youngsters and it is to be hoped that parents 'World's Best 'To Compete In 100 Dash MODESTO, Calif. (AP)-- Some of the world's top sprint men, including Harry Jerome of Vancouver, were entered in the 100-yard dash of the Cali- By ED WILKS Associated Press Satff Writer Warren (the Wonder) Spahn is just seven shy of the charmed 300-victory level today after beating Los Angeles Dodgers-- but if it wasn't for the Dodgers, he might be seven over the 300 mark. When Spahn beat the Dodgers 10-2 at Milwaukee Friday night it was his second decision over Los Angeles this season and the 293rd victory of his 17 - year career in the National League. But it also marked the first time in 10 years he has won two in one season from the Dodgers, the only club with a lifetime edge (31-16) over the Braves' superb southpaw. At the moment, the 40-year- old master has a .643 winning percentage against the other six teams in the league. And if he could have replaced that Dodgers jinx with something like the success he's had career record against the Dodgers would be 30-17, not 16-31. That would give him 307 victories over-all. The defeat left Los Angeles in a virtual tie for second place with Pittsburgh Pirates, drubbed 12-2 by the Cardinals at St. Louis. San Francisco Giants padded their lead by a full game with a 3-2 victory over The Philadelphia - Cincinnati game was postponed because of cold. BELTS 200TH HOMER Spahn, 5-3, nailed his sixth seven hist, three of them bunt singles. The fifth-place Braves, backing Spahn with four double plays, also had seven hits, but two were home runs. Frank Thomas hit the 200th of his career, a two-run jolt, and the other was a solo shot by Hank Aaron, who was saved by his plastic helmet when hit by a pitch by loser Stan Williams complete game while allowing|try Ken Boyer, after going 15 games without driving in a run for the Cardinals, hit a pair of homers and collected six RBI against the Bucs. He hit a three-run shot that wrapped it up in the first inning against Bob Friend (5-5), who now has lost five in a row as a starter. The Pirates had 10 hits, just one less than St. Louis, but gave up five unearned runs on six er- rors. Southpaw Curt Simmons (2-3) won it, pitching his first complete game on the eighth The Giants scored a pair of unearned runs in the 13th off reliever Don Elston (5-4) for their sixth in a row over the Cubs. Harvey Kuenn drove in a run for a 1-1 tie in the eighth inning, then singled home the lead run. The clincher scored on an error by outfielder Billy Williams. Sam Jones (4-3) won in his first relief job of the against the other clubs, Spahn's (3-3). season.

All the new professional skates being put out have a piece of plastic built into the heel of the blade. But there aren't many kids who own the new type of skates. The safety heels aren't built onto kids' skates anyway."

Entered at the Ontario Agri- cultural College were athletes who shattered four Canadian schoolboy records in the last 10 days. Bruce Kidd of Malvern Col- legiate, Toronto, ran the mile in 4:14; a team from Lawrence Park Collegiate, Toronto, ran the 440-yard relay in 43.8; Steve Baker of the New Tor- onto Secondary School tossed the javelin 209 feet and Jim Al- len of London South Collegiate ran the 220 yards in 21.5, shav- ing 4-10 seconds off Harry Je- rome's mark.

Duren struck out Al Kaline and Cola- vito after putting the tying run ninth. Norm Cash drove in Detroit's first two runs, with singles in the first and third innings. The Angels scored one in the first, on a triple by Leon Wagner and a single by Ted Kluszewski, and then went ahead with the three unearned runs in the sixth.

He's going to spend the week- end mulling it over before mak- ing any moves. This much emerged from Fri- day's developments in bid No. 2 by the Rangers to land Harvey as a player-coach with the Na- tional Hockey League club. Harvey,, by telephone, told general manager Muzz Patrick of New York he will reply Mon- day to the latest offer. The 36-year-old defence star of 14 seasons with Montreal Ca- nadiens made no reference to terms in disclosing the new of- fer here. But Patrick said in New York that it called for a three- year contract. He didn't specify for how much but he said the amount was more than New York offered earlier. Harvey earlier turned down the Ranger offer of a two-year contract, providing what was understood to be the same yearly salary Montreal paid m. Patrick said Friday that sal- ary had never been a point of contention with Harvey. UPS ANTE ANYWAY But New York had decided to up the ante anyway in the hope of offsetting any worries Har- Rangers Close To Reeling In Season' s Catch All this touched off rampant speculation about the amount involved. The guesses ranged from $25,000 a year all the wild way to a piece of Madison Square Garden. With the Habs, Doug earned a reported $22,500 a season. Part of the deal would involve a player contribution to Mont. real by the Rangers. But a Canadiens' spokesman said names would be discussed only after Harvey agrees to sign with the Rangers -- if he oes. 'Patrick said business and per- sonal reasons are what has kept Harvey reticent about singing. Doug has five children and he says they don't like the idea of leaving Montreal.
