Thursday 16, 1961 NORSHORE SENTINEL 7 SPORTS BIZ WITH DIZ BY PAUL "DIZZY” BAXTER A SHRINE IN THE WILDERNESS The great men and great moments of the North Shore Hockey league have been neglected long enough, why don't we gather together all the players, referees and officials of the league and get their reaction on a Hall of Fame. I can see the meeting and subsequent events right now. A smoke-filled room shows a group of grisled. scarred, ugly veterans of the hockey wars huddled together drinking catawba and telling lies and dirty stories while emitting nasty gurgling sounds and spatting on the floor at will. Whoops, that's the referees room! The players and officials meanwhile would be meeting for serious discussion in another special room. (Notice there's no description to show whether this is better or worse than the refs room! Maybe I can't break sticks but I'm a diplomat! From this summit meeting of the hierarchy would emerge a committee of ‘Four Just Men' on whose broad shoulders would fall the momentous task of finding the land for the site and then stealing the materials. It's just guess work on my part but in all probability the the select four would be Stan Pineau representing the league, Ted Broughton representing the police, Cy Brassard representing the players and Tony Baratta representing himself. The four men would then retire to a back room to select a chairman of the committee, and, because of his abundance of ammunition “Big Daddy" Broughton, dragging the other three back into the main chambers, would be the popular and unanimous choice. Big Ted, to the sound of forced applause, would then outline, his innaugural address the "New Frontier" of the N.S.H.L. and the necessary steps to be taken to realize a shrine for the league and it's many momentos. From Marathon would come the base materials and sturdy framework needed. These would be pulp logs and to save the company from too much loss, only the ones with the centre core rotten would be lifted. From Terrace Bay would come the Kleenex pulp for the floor and since the site of the proposed building will be quite remote from civilization, there are numerous uses for Kleenex tissues in the bush. Plywood culls can be obtained in Nipigon for the outer walls and roof and will tend to give the building a look of elegance. From Red Rock, paper centre of the north, Kraft paper for the inside walls and ceiling can be easily stolen. TOOKER JOE CHIEF DESIGNER To Schreiber and Geraldton would fall the task of construction of the huge edifice and careful attention would have to be given to plans, of the architect, Joe Tookenay. To save on wall space for the many names and events that will be inscribed therein, no windows will be constructed. Instead,'Mr. Tookenay will have cleverly allowed for numerous cracks in the roof design. In all probability ‘Tooker Joe' will use the Schreiber Cow Palace as an inspiration and nothing graces the small town of Schreiber more than this original piece of art. Now we come to the most important part of the scheme. What What will we ever put in it? Since the building will be a combined memorial building, and recreation centre for retired players, pictures of Roland Gauthier, Albert Langevin, Tony Delarande, Tremblay etc, will be hung on the wall. Then the old retired veterans can, in their leisure, throw a arts and spit balls at them intermittingly throughout the long days. In the centre of the hall will be a platform and on top of that a table draped in red velvet. On the table will be a gold watch with a tiny inscription on it reading, "the watch Winky Whalen never won." Seeing that this will be the most valuable property in the whole building, and "Winky" will be planning to confiscate it, the Osmar brothers will be hired to mount a 24 hour watch. Here are two boys determined to see that Whalen doesn't get anything and will diligently perform their duties as they have in the past. Also prominent in the shrine will be George Surev's hockey underwear, which he has worn without washing for five years. This famous suit is so stiff, it will stand up by itself. A scroll on the wall will ably captivate the many cute sayings uttered to referees by Herman Manilla and record them for history. This will take up one whole wall. Enough said about, the contents, let's dwell on what the opening ceremonies will be like. Picture Archie James carrying Jack Thomas across the threshold on opening day, displaying the brotherly love that exists between these two gladiators. Picture, if you may, all the teams and official, lined up to sing the opening hymn "Abide With Me." In all, it should be a moment to remember. TERRACE BAY 'CHECKERS’ GOAL SCORERS NOW! Terrace Bay superiors continue to get scoring help from unexpected sources as they rush headlong towards their first pot of gold on this North Shore Hockey league playoff rainbow. The checking line provided the offensive power again Sunday in Terrace, scoring two of the three goals as Terrace nipped Red Rock 3-2 in the first game of the best-of-seven league final. The Royals had qualified for the final the night previous in Red Rock with a 6-2 victory over Marathon Mercuries, thus winning the semi-final four games to one with one tied. The line of Gordie Calder, Ray stachiw and Ricky Polhill scored two goals for the Sups with Calder getting the lone goal of the first period and then Polhill making it 3-0 in the second period after Bobby Adamo had further increased the Bays lead. The two second-period goals came within two minutes and 20 seconds of each , other early in the period. Royals came to life midway through the period and from then on held the edge in play but could not overcome the lead. Harvey Dunville scored two unassisted goals, both while the Bays were short-handed to set the stage for an exciting, third period. The top crowd of the season in Red Rock Saturday night saw the Royals at their checking best in downing the Merks. After a shakey first to minutes they settled down to lead 3-0 after the first period and 4-1 for the start of the final lap. It was more than enough. George Beadman scored two nifty goals from Lefty Tretiak while Paul Fournier, Neil Seagris, Brian Morgan and Whitey Smith had the others. For Marathon it was Dan Moon and Ted Brady. Rookie Arnie Steeves, who scored hat tricks in the two playoff contests, was held in close check. GOAL DUST: Brady and Char-yna suddenly perked up and played well for the Merks but it was too late. It must be remembered however that the Merks were playing short-handed all the way They'll need a major overhaul for next year. They need player help, especially with some of the older fellows nearing retirement. The Merks lost hard but it hasn't been often that they've lost at all. Kapitan was given a major for drawing blood when he clipped Gordie Dunville over the head near the end of the game after a mixup in front of the Merk net. But onto the Sups! The Royals travelled to Terrace Tuesday night with the clubs returning to Royal-town Thursday and again on the weekend. If Terrace wins Tuesday they could pull the sweep. They have the ability but the Royals have proven many times this season that they are not easily held down. The Royals are an odd mixture of hustle, experience and whatever else you can name and its always tough to predict what will do.

DISEASED FISH RUMOR EXPLAINED TO ANGLERS The Red Rock Pish and Game Club, because of rumors regarding diseased fish in some lakes in the district, asked and received clarification on the situation from the Department of Lands and Forests, and Mr. C. Weir, District Biologist. Here are the facts presented to the club in a letter' by District Forester, Mr. L. Sleeman. The Tumor like growths on some fish in Fraser Lake are are not an' unusual occurance and such sores are fairly common on fish and muskies in some areas. Mr. Weir has had considerable experience with similar growths on muskies in the Karwartha Lakes area of southern Ontario, some research work has been done on the disease but it is a difficult disease to study and the growths are now thought/^ to be caused by some sort of virus. There is no evidence to show that infected fish have any effect on humans. Mr. Weir knows of many anglers who have eaten muskies with the sores on them and no ill effects were detected. A generous portion of the in-' fected area is cut away‘and the the remainder has been eaten in such cases. Mr. Weir had stated that he had eaten these fish 6n different occasions with no ill effects. Because of the appearance of a heavily infected fish, he recommended it be buried. The decision rests with the angler and the outcome generally depends on how much he he wants the fish. The presence . of sores on fish is always regrettable; however it is a natural oocurrance and there is no need for alarm or panic. The prevailence of sores fluctuate throughout the year and from year to year. They may go undetected for a year or two and then break out again. There is no known cure so it behooves everyone to take the philosophical view and try to live peacefully with these natural plagues. If any diseased fish are found in any other lakes in our district, anglers are asked to please contact the Department of ‘Lands and Forests’ preferably showing them the fish. It is only with the complete co-operation of the fishermen that the Department can investigate, analyse, and in most cases, dispel any wild rumors about our fish - and fishing in general - YOUR RCA VICTOR DEALER LAKEHEAD LAKEHEAD TELEVISION CENTRE, where service is better Electronics TV-Radio -stereo Sales & Service comer of Bay and Algoma PHONE DI 4-2881 PORT ARTHUR Wayne Sawatsky delivers RIGHT TO YOUR DOOR!
