'THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, MONDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1940 PAGE SEVEN LEAFS TAKE TWO WINS OFF BLACK HAWKS Chicago, Dec. 16 (CP) ~The Na- tional Hockey league's greates! hockey teams in the past have been those with the ability to win whe- ther at full strength or racked with injuries. Toronto Maple Leafs al- ready are well on the way to estab lishing themselves 8s DOSSeSSOIs of that particular claim to greatness. Last night here Leafs scorea their - second successive win over Chicago Black Hawks while playing wita only 13 players, exploding for three goals late in the third period to add a 4-1 triumph to their 2-1 victory over Hawks in Toronto Saturday night. Both Hawks and Leafs were suf- fering from injuries, but Leafs the most. Don Metz, Jack Church, Red Heron and Gus Marker all stayed in Toronto unfit for duty, and Bob Davidson worked on de- fence with Reg. Hamilton replac- ing Church, who has been out & week. Davidson returned to action Saturday after a five-week lay-off with a knee injury, but Don Metz in the first period tore some shoulder ligaments, again reducing the Toronto squad to 13. Metz came out in second and third periods with the torn mem- ber taped tightly, but it is unlikely that he--or any of the other three --will play in Boston Tuesday. Hawks lost Gully Dahlstrom and Dave Mackay through thigh and knee injuries respectively in Sat- urday night's game. 0 Yet the Leafs built their winning streak to eight straight, with vic- tories in 13 of their 15 games this season, by the two wins during the week-end. They now are eight points ahead of the second place Detroit Red Wings. Leafs had to come from behind to win last night. Phil Herge- shieiner team with Doug Bentley and Johnny Gottselig for a Chi- cago goal after 44 seconds of the first period. Gord Drillon added to his imposing goal total with the equalizer from Syl. Apps and Nick Metz in the second and the teams played on even terms until late in the third. Then Sweeney Schriner broke the tie and Don Metz added a couple of quick goals to break up 8 previously tight contest. Saturday the story was some- thing the same although the mar- gin was smaller, and Leafs got the first two goals. The game was close and even In two scoreless periods before Nick Metz drifted a long one past Goalle Paul Good- man after 41 seconds in the third period. Fifty-eight' seconds later Syl. Apps scored an a play with Wally Stanowski and although Hawks fought back valiantly the best they could do was one goal-- by Mush March on a play with George Allen and Si Seibert. Les Canadiens Win Matinee In Detroit Detroit, Dec. 16.--Detroit Red Wings dropped a 2-1 overtime decl- sion to Montreal Canadiens yester- day in the local club's first after- noon contest im history.

Rookies Star Even If Amerks Do Lose Game By ALLAN NICKLESON (Canadian Press Staff Writer) New York, Dec. 16 (CP).--A couple of 23-year-olds playing ther first National Hockey League game drew the plaudits of a hard-bitten Madison Square Garden crowd of 15,000 last night and established that master of the ice lanes, old Eddie Shore, as a first-class coach. Fred Hunt and Alfred Thyrier, up from Shore's Springfield Indians in an effort to bolster the Old Men of Manhattan, brought re- juvenation into the American camp although their intra-city ri- vals, the Rangers, trimmed them 6-3. The game didn't satisfy Manager Red Dutton but the kids did. Thurier and Hunt, nervous at first in front of the biggest crowd they ever had performed before, gained confidence as the battle progressed and earned five points. Thurier scored two goals and Hunt, a Brantford, Ont, native, snared three a s.ts. Pat Egan, another shore product, scored the other goal, In the eyes of the crowd, the season's largest at the Garden, the rookies' display dulled the Ranger victory. The kids also inspired Harvey | Jackson to play his best game of | the seascn. He performed on the line centred by Thurier and said afterwards that it recalled memor- jes of that Toronto Maple Leal "kid line" on which he used to serve with Charley Conacher ana Joe Primeau. "Those kids sure looked good," Dutton said. "And they had only one goal scored against them." Hunt belongs to the Amerks and will stay as long as he shows his present form. The Americans will try to buy Thurier from the In- dians but that may be difficult since the Indians, tied with New Haven for the American League's | eastern division lead, were whipped 6-2 last night by Providence. There's no doubt the Shoremen missed Thurier and Hunt, the two top point-getters of the American League. | Dutton disclosed that the Ameri- | cans are dickering with a couple of National League clubs for rein- forcements. There have been no results as yet but Red wants a de- fenceman and a forward. "Some of our boys aren't show- ing as well as expected," he said. "If T have to let them go I will We've got to win a few games, After all, we're in last place." Byron Nelson Wins Miami Golf Tourney Miami, Fla., Dec. 16 --Byron Nel. son, termed by most of his fellow professionals the world's greatest golfer, won the $10,000 Miami open yesterday with a 271, nine strokes under par for the 72-hole distance. Nelson closed with a par 70 to squeeze under the wire with a sin. gle shot to spare over Clayton Heafe ner, the big belter from Linville, NC. Heafner had finished his round with a final 68 and stood in the gallery applauding with the other spectators when Nelson made his pay-off shot. Under terrific pressure and in troule when his drive hit a trap on the final hole, Nelson barely got out of the sand to the top of a hillock with his second shot. With thous- ands pressing closer for a good look, he calmly whipped the ball sixty-five yards to the green, then putted up for victory and the $2,500 first-place cheque. Ben Hogan of White Plains, N.Y, the year's money winning cham- pion, finished with a 60 for 275 and third place Sam Snead of Hot Springs, Va., three times winner of the event and 1939 Canadian open titlist, slipped to a 71 yesterday for 277 and a fourth-place tie with willie Goggin of Miami who had a final 68. -------------- 0.H.A.

Don Grosso, young Detroit for-| ward, delivered the game-winning | goal halfway through the extra period on a shot from far out. After a mild first period, the hos- tilities broke out, Bill Juzda, rookie Ranger defenseman, bumped Gud Giesebrecht of the Wings, and the battle was on with eight players swinging away at one stage. Giese- | brecht and Juzda received major penalties. Detroit took a 1-0 lead seconds later when Jack Stewart banged home a rebcund. Clint Smith tied it early in the third period, but Ebbie Goodfellow put the wings | ahead again. From this point on the game was | a wild affair. Referee Bill Stewart | handed out six minor and three major penalties, At one time three! Red Wings and two Rangers taxed the capacity of the penalty box, | PYTLAK SETS | NEW RECORD | Chicago, Dec. 16.--Frankie Pyt- | lak, the catcher traded last week | by Cleveland to Boston, and New York Yankees and Cleveland In- dians, shared fielding honors dur~ | ing the 1940 American Baseball League season, according to the of ficial league averages released yes- terday. Pytlak"s feat of handling 571 con- secutive chances without an error paign. Pytlak ran up that remark- able string in games from Sept. 10, 1938, to Sept. 18, 1940, to wipe out the previous major league mark of 452 straight chances set by Gabby Hartnett of Chicago Cubs of the National League. Pytlak handled 265 chances in 1940 for a fielding mark of .996 through 58 games, making only one | : ! game in his first appearance in the | error. This gave him the top spot among the league's hackstops. New York tied Cleveland in the attle for team fielding honors, the average of each club being .975. Bill Dickey. of the Yanks fielded 994 in 102 games, his performance giving him a thirteenth straight season in which he has caught 100 or more games, This cracked the | ond period, but before the se | terminated, | Butcher | goals as the Leafs repeated with » was conceded to be the brightest | fielding performance of the cam- | mark of twelve, at which he had been tied with Ray Schalk and Mickey Cochrane.

Lloyd. On a second charge of breaking, entering and theft, Dwyer pleaded not guilty and the charge was dis- missed after evidence had been heard. Also charged with breaking- en- tering and theft, Albert Moore, of Tweed. The charge was withdrawn after the court heard the similar evidence against Dwyer. Charges followed an incident on November 28 when the barn of Felix Courneyea was demolished by fire. Dwyer and Moore were appre- hended by Chief of Police Clair Hayes the same day. At the trial Velma Courneyea, daughter of Felix Courneyea, testified she had been with Francis Dwyer when they ran out of gasoline. She had mentioned the fact to Dwyer that there was gasoline in a car parked in her father's barn, and had stayed out- side as Dwyer and Moore went in. Chief/ Hayes testified Dwyer "had appearently been holding a cigar- ette lighter in one hand when the gasoline he was removing from the parked car splashed on his other arm and caught fire, He sustained severe burns on the hand and the barn caught fire and was demolish- ed. In the same court Harold Scrut- ton was remanded one week for sentence when convicted on three charges of false pretenses. Scrut- ton pleaded guilty to issuing worth- less cheques, one to John Kikes. of Belleville, for $26.65, and another to Robert Dracup for $15. On the third court, the Crown alleged he obtained $6.50 from Lum Toy, of Tweed, by fraud. Scrutton pleaded guilty to all three charges.
