H. Campbell SPORTS EDITOR 'Everything From Soup To Nuts' HEFFERING'S IMPERIALS captured the Oshawa City and District Softball Association's City Champion- ship title last night at Alexandra Park when they won the fourth game and their third-straight of the series, 7-3. Ted Jones came up with another sparkling four-hit pitching performance and but for errors, might have had a shutout. Two bobbles figured in Tony's first run in the second inning and they didn't score again until the 8th, when two runs crossed the plate as an outfielder missed the ball on what would have been the third out. But it was the same three players who were charged with errors by the official scorer who also got their names on the credit side of the scorebook. Ray Buzminski led the team at bat with three hits, one a homer; Ralph O'Reilly had two hits and Reg Hickey had one, a big one, a homer. As a matter of fact, the entire Heffering's team all had at least one hit, except the pitcher and he more than paid his way, with 11 strike- outs. Tony's Vendors gave it the old college try but they seemed to lack the spark and zip last night which has characterized their play most of the season. They 'Oshawa Horse Shares Class C Western Fair LONDON, Ont.

OSHAWA LEGION Juniors can be forgiven if they figure this is a "bad week". They were defeated in the third and deciding game of their Leaside Junior League championship finals on Wednesday night, at Talbot Park. Last night, they travelled to Kitchener and ab- sorbed a 12-0 whitewash treatment at the hands of the K-W Dodgers, in the second game of their OBA Junior "A" semi-final series. On Monday night, the Legion- naires started off quite well, when they won the first game of the OBA series, topping the K-W Dodgers here at Kinsmen Civic Memorial Stadium. But last night in Kitchener, the Legionnaires couldn't do very much that was right. At the plate, a husky young hurler named Dennome put the hush on the Oshawa bats and was also backed by splendid support. On the other hand, Legionnaires used three pitchers and none of them were able to curb the hitting power paraded to the plate by the homesters. So now the series is all tied up, They'll settle it with the third and deciding game, here at Kins- men Stadium tomorrow afternoon, starting at two o'clock, and it should be a good ball game, Winner of this one takes on the Belleville-Kingston winner ir. the Ontario finals. Those two clubs played an 1l-inning tie last Sunday. THE WORLD SERIES resumes tomorrow in Cin- cinnati and it'll be interesting to see what effect the much smaller park has on the hitting and fielding. Yes- terday's game saw the Redlegs come up with a splendid baseball performance to fully earn their win and tie up the series. True, the Yankees had one of their off days in the field, but just the same they did practically noth- ing with Joey Jay's fine pitching and the Redlegs, in their fielding and base-running, as well as in their clutch hitting, displayed everything that was needed---and show- ed it at the right times--so they must be given full credit for their win. So far, the two games have produced some sensational fielding with Elio Chacon, at second base for the Reds, being the big star yesterday. But some of the other plays were also in the sparkling class and must have warmed the heart of all Cincy fans. Wins Feature Pres. Campbell Voices Opinion MQNTREAL (CP) -- Presi- dent Clarence Campbell of the National Hockey League says two of the league's six teams to the Hawks in a trade. NHL draft while Turner came _ Detroit strengthened by pick- ing up Eddie Litzenberger in a ~Chicago Black Hawks and De- troit Red Wings -- have made "very definite additions" to their playing personnel for the 1961-62 season starting next week. Campbell, who professes to be entirely neutral because of his position, said in an interview trade with Chicago. "It is not in my province to know why the Bruins parted with this player (Horvath), beaten out for the league scor- ing title two years back by a single point," Campbell said.

Credit Curb covered the dis- tance in 1:10 1.5, one second off the track record held jointly by Nearctic and Anita's Son. He paid $8.80.

Reserve catcher John Edwards, drove in a couple of timely runs when the Yankees twice delib- erately walked a man to get al him. a .186 hitter, The result sent the series to Cincinnati for Saturday's third game with the Yankees still fav- ored to take the best-of - seven set, but with the odds shortened from the 5 to 1 quoted after their 2-0 victory Wednesday to a more conservative 2 to 1. YANKS LOOK SLUGGISH The New Yorkers contributed to their own downfall with three errors and a passed ball and a growing inability to produce at the plate with men on base. In the 5,307 patrons sweated out a double claim of foul against Compactor, the winner and fa- vorite. Dick Armstrong, the jockey on second - place - finisher Last Mourn, and Jim Parnell, on Whip out which placed fourth, both claimed Avelino Gomez, on the winner, had im- peded them in the home stretch. Compactor was allowed to re- main in first position after the stewards studied the film pa- trol films for several minutes and paid $4.50. LEADERS OUSTED TORONTO (CP) Toronto Roma, National Soccer League champions, were elim inated Thursday night from the league's semi-final playoff by Toronto Hungaria with a 3-0 de- feat. Hungaria now faces Olym- pia Harmony in the round-robin series leading to a final berth. Campbell said Turner "will do the Hawks some good." The NHL president had this to say about Litzenberger: "In two years that player hasn't lived up to his true po- tential with the Hawks. He has great natural ability, probably figured to get by on that alone without putting too much pres- sure on himself. "He won't be able to do any- thing like that in Detroit.

Joey Jay Says Pitcher Must Never Worry NEW YORK (AP)--Joey Jay, a six-foot four-inch right-hander, operates on the theory that a pitcher can't worry when he's on the mound. 'He can be concerned," said Jay, 6-2 winner over New York Yankees Thursday in the game that levelled the world series for Cincinnati apiece. Reds at a game "But he can't worry. Once he starts to worry, he's beaten." Jay, 26, is an outspoken fel- low who tries to approach pitch- ing from a clinical viewpoint. He approached it well, consider- ng his 21-10 record. He is an ex-chicken farmer and the first Little Leaguer to make the ma- i ors. "For instance, there are a lot of batters you figure you'll never strike out," he said. "So thc next thing to do is try to make them hit your pitch. "I was doing that with Tony Kubek and I'll be darned if 1 didn't strike him out. Twice!" THROWS WITH CARE Jay said he pitched cautiously to Roger Maris to stop the home run king. "I stopped him by throwing him good pitches," Jay said. "It's as simple as that. I walked him in the fourth and that irked me, I really didn't want to walk him because I knew what peo- ple would say--that I was afraid to pitch to him. "But on the other hand, you can't. pitch a game merely to please the crowd. You've got to pitch to win and if the situation calls for walking Maris or any- one else, I'l] do it. two successive games, the vaunted Yankee sluggers failed to put two hits together ir a sin- gle inning. The teams traded two - run homers in the fourth inning. Yankee third - baseman Clete Boyer, fielding hero of the first game, bounced F rank Robin- son's liner off his chest for an error and Gordie Coleman's drive into the left-field bleach- ers put Cincinnati two up. Yogi Berra then produced his 12th se- ries home run after a walk to Roger Maris. For Maris, the Yankee home- run hero, it was the closest thing to a moment of glory in two miserable days as he stretched his batting record tc no hits in seven official at-bats, striking out twice and fielding indifferently. He has yet to hit a ball out of the infield. BROKE IT OPEN The turning point in the game, played before a crowd of 63,038, came in the fifth inning. With two out, Chacon dumped a fly ball into left-centre in front of Maris for a single and moved to third on another single by Eddie Kasko. New York starter Ralph Terry, pitching carefully to the dangerous Vada Pinson, threw a slider that got away from catcher Elston Howard, bounc- ing about 10 feet from the plate. Howard recovered the ball and glanced at second base, ex- pecting Kasko to advance. Nei- ther he nor Terry, who failed to cover the plate, saw Chacon streaking in from third until the catcher made a belated lunge. By then, the 24-year-old Vene- zuelan was safely home. The Reds struck again in the sixth as Wally Post doubled with two out. Manager Ralph Houk orderea Terry to walk third-baseman Gene Freese and Edwards, a minor-leaguer until last June, singled dowr the first- base line to score Post. ARROYO ERRS In the eighth the Yankee de- CINCY FANS IN HOWLING HABIT CINCINNATI (AP) -- Cin- cinnati Reds, deadlocked with the New York Yankees in the 1961 world series after two games, should be getting used to howling greetings when they return home. They got it several weeks ago when they returned after sweeping a key three - game series with Los Angeles Dodg- ers. They got it last week on their return from Chicago where they had clinched at least a share of the National Ledgue pennant. And they got it again Thurs- day night as they returned from New York where they bounced back Thursday for a 6-2 victory over the Yankees after losing the .opener 2-0. Greater Cincinnati Airport was crowded with fans, They waved banners and shouted as the players and their wives began to emerge from the charter plane. A caravan of horn-blaring automobiles fol- lowed the team's bus info downtown area, fences fell apart again. Terry had departed for a pinch hitter and ace reliever Luis Arroyo began by walking Robinson. Then he grabbed Coleman's tap in front of the plate and threw the ball into right field. Robin- son came around to score and Coleman was nailed sliding into third. Then Post sent a drive to left and Berra misjudged it for a three - base error. Again Freese was intentionally walked and Edwards blooped a broken-bat double to left to send Post home with the finai Cincinnati run. Both managers stuck to their original pitching choices as the teams moved to Cincinnati for the third game. Houk name right-hander Bill Stafford (14-9) to oppose veteran knuckleballer Bob Purkey (16-12), also a right- hander. The Yankees hoped for the re- \ side- lined for the first two games turn of Mickey Mantle, with an infected hip, but th hard - still on the limp Thursday.

Bob Purkey Has His Own Ideas For Next Game d e Mickey And Maris Both Unhappy NEW YORK (AP) -- Mickey Mantle, hobbled by an infection and a clinging cold, has no idea whether he'll be able to play in any Saturday, Sunday or game of the world series. The switch - hitting New York slugger was glum and it wa not Reds had beaten New York §- Thursday to even the series at one game apiece. "I can't now," Mantle grumbled. how long T'll be out."

The other half of the M and M boys, who slammed a rec- ord 61 home runs during the re- gular season, didn't hit a ball out of the infield for the sec- ond straight day. Maris hit into a force play in the first inning, walked in the fourth and struck out in the say wa fifth and eighth.

I don't know CINCINNATI (AP)--Bob Pur- key, Cincinnati Reds' pitcher who goes against New York Yankees Saturday in the third game of the world series, fig- ures it this way: "The Yankees are no super- men. They're the same as any- one else. They can be beaten." Purkey told of his reactions after watching the two clubs split the first two games at Yankee Stadium in New York. "We gained confidence by win- ning," said the 32-year-old right- handed Purkey. "It showed us they weren't unbeatable, It alsc must have changed the Yankees' minds about us . . . that we're not the ragamuffins we're supposed to 0." Cincinnati manager Red Hut- chinson, according to plan, held Purkey out for the game in Cin- cinnati, when he'll have had five days of rest. "I'd rather pitch in Yankee Stadium than in Cincinnati," Purkey said. "It's a bigger park and it's harder to see the pitches because of the back- ground. "Yet, at Crosley Field I feel I have the advantage because I know how to pitch there. I don't know of any pitcher in the National League who likes to pitch in Cincinnati. It's a tougher park for pitchers than even the Coliseum in Los Ange- les, with its short left field fence. "There is no part of the field in Cincinnati which you can give a hitter. If the ball is hit well, it could go over any fence be- Ss 2 r Ss r t S t It was reported that the men's section had a membership of 108, an increase of six over last year; while the ladies' sec- tion members totalled 81, a de- crease of three.
