tililfir mes as edge mum TO HOCKEY The recent part that big leaguebasebali scout was after the services of Frankie Mahovlich the Junior hockey ace whos cx pectcd to line up with the Ton onto Maple Leafs of the National Hockey League came as no sur prise to this rcportcr having played baseball soft ball and hockey against the younci giant we tool we know his talents it has always been our opinion that ilabovilch was an extraordinary ball player in both baseball and softball Frankie was power at Ihc plate bloat oi his softball activities senior were connned to catching and there wasnt better backstop in the league erg BAY GARIEPY Its in baseball Frankie played every single position and that in cludes hurling As chuckcr Frankie didnt have thing onihc ball but that didnt stop him from winning ball games He had tcrt rifle speed and his lack of control made him that much more eiiecliic since the middle years In grade scbool we played ball against Frankie and always found him the toughest man to face This re porter trsed to reier to himselt as pitcher Frankie rcmaincd ter ror to us until we loit home ior liarrie almosta year ago This Isnt the first year that pro ball scouts have watched the big fellow play either itaurlce beLooi the lied Sox birddog who ap proached iiiahoilich This year along with man from the Tigers have been attending number ol ball games at home lor as long as we can remember According to the news release Frankie turned down the offer to go to spring training We really think that he could make something of himscll il he stuck to the game but thats his lile not ours However baseballs Incrcst In him further indicates that there are potential big league ball players in Canada Were looking for ward to the day wllcn there are more Phil llarchiltlons Oscar ludds Irank Colenians Dick Fowler and Vince Bartons in the big time The llrooltlyn Dodgers have Canadian boy on their roster right now He is chunky Billy Harris who spent the last two years with the Montreal Royals of the international League Back to lilahovlich however rumors are circulating that he relt ceivcd new home in Toronto as part of his payment for signing Lcai contract Its also said that his father got pcrmaneni job at the Gardens It was hinted to us by member of the Maple Lea organization that these are not just rumors but tools If so we can stop wondering why big Frank is sticking to the puckrchasing sport JUST NOTES Two or the major league hockey clubs Detroit and Chicago sometimes considered cousins are already making with the first practice grunts and groans Sentlmcntal opinionsdlround town have it that the Hawks will finish in fourth spot this year To this date it seems more like wish ful thinking but one can never tell It the Hawks do finish fourth then whos going to share the basement apartments The Montreal Habitanis RedWings and Boston Bruins seem like shootins lor the top three spots Isnt that just awiui Folks are already discounting the Leafs and New York Rangers Oh well he also serves who only stands and waits Fans continue to ask this reporter when the Junior hockey schedule starts Sorry We dont know The sehcdule has yet to be confirmed Ever since Owen Sound nlcrcurys withdrew trom the Senior OHA weve been wondering where local boy Ray Garlepy is going to do his puckchasing Seems all oi the senior clubs are alter his services But Ray tells us that he wont be playing hockey this winter He has nice position in town and doesnt want to throw it away just to play hockey Besides he says even it he did want to play senior hockey this year he would have to travel too tar to get to the games and st work here Come on Ray let us in on the secret is it Senior club just 25 miles from here The Barrie lggion softball squad will lose one of its biggest hit Siu will be leaving to start ters this weekend He is lion Stewart training with thelilaple Leafs hockey club in Sudbury on the 16th You will note and some with
