(July 13) Delisle Gems upset Mort Cooper and the Moose Jaw
Canucks 8-3 in an exhibition match at Saskatoon before more than 4,.500
fans. Cooper, a former major league hurler, allowed the Gems a run
in the 3rd and three in the 4th before heading to the showers.
Bennie Griggs tossed three scoreless frames for Delisle
before leaving with a sore arm. Murray Coben picked up the
win allowing just one hit over four scoreless innings. He was
forced to leave in the 8th after suffering an ankle injury when he
tripped and fell after clouting a triple.

praise were catchers Jim Ross, 18, Wayne Klinck, 14,
