DUMSDAY |, Canadian Press Staff Writer Toronto, May 2--(CP)--When the orth Bay Nugget phone rang the er day, Sports Editor Britt Jes- heard the query "Are the It running at Point Au Baril?" Bria I think they're walking this ," quiped back Jessup. | When there wag silence at the er end of the line, Jessup, a for- R.CAF. pilot, realized the in- uirer was in earnest, so he quickly erred the matter to his officer in of Angling. ¢harge } Who Should Pay? ! Alan (Brantford Expositor) Rose fells of a Galt fan who protested spending of "public funds" by er Drew to honor 'Torontc le Leafs at a banquet. The ans argued that the Leafs should have paid the shot, "seeing it was a grotessional affair" and the cluk ug making a fortune out of hoc- ey." | Rose says the point "may or may ot be well taken in these times oy anything goes," but he adds t if there is going to be curtail- t of spending public moneys on events some think non- ¢ssential, "A few folks could make i up quite a list." "The Galt City Council gave its Red Wings (Juniors) a banquet," says Alan, "and if you can find a more professional outfit than that we'd take notice." He adds: "May- be the Galt complainant should start at home." Amateur "Contracts" When it seemed as though Owen Sound Mchawks would fold in the OHA. Senior series last winter Frank Smith came to the rescue But Bill (Owen Sound Sun-Times) Dane says there is little hope of Frank "assuming the role of sugar daddy next fall." Dane thinks Smith might be talked into sponsorship of the am- ateur hockey team on one condi- tion--"that he could sign players tc a contract." The * sponsor hag a good point argues Smith, because when an im- portant game comes along a player can decide "he doesn't like playing hockey for the wage he received all year." Contracts would give Smith "concrete control" over his "Ama- teurs." : Unlikes Delay Now that it's "fairly unanimous" that Toronto's Howie Meeker will be named N.H.L. rookie of the year Chick (Stratford Beacon-Herald) Appel find it "a bit diflicult to un- tand" why President Clarence Campbell does not announce win- ners of individual awards. "Hockey fans are still lukewarm about the Stanley Cup playoffs but by the time the League selections are announced, interest in hockey will have waned," says Chick. ROLLER SKATING | TONIGHT SATURDAY AFTERNOON and NIGHT . Marcel | ism . By SYD THOMAS Candian Press Staff Writer Montreal, May 2--(CP)--Barring a sudden change of tide, Calgary Stampeders' -chances of retaining the Allan Cup they won last year looked none too sfrong today. The crimson-clad invaders from the 'West were outskated and outclassed here last night as Montreal Royals swamped them 7-0 to take a 2-1 edge in the best-of-seven Dominion senior final. Outshot nearly three to one: by MONTREAL ROYALS TIE 7-0 WHITEWASH ON Frank Carlin's hard-skating Royals, the defending champions were sav- ed a worse defeat by Russ Dertell's great goaltending. At the other end of the ice, Roy- als little Gerry McNeil didn't have much work to do. He chalked up his fourth shutout since Royals started along the Allan Cup Trail in search of this city's first Domin- ion senior championship since 1930. The squads move back to Toronto for the next three games, with Cal- gary's hopes dim. They were both- | ered by the soft, sticky ice in the first game when Royals trounced them 7-3 in Toronto, and couldn't get going at all last night on the Forum sheet which was tacky most of the game. Every Royal player except the goalie and Denis Casavant got on the score sheet, Gerry .Plamondon scored two goals, with Toll Cam- peau, Cliff Malone, Floyd Curry, Jimmy Haggarty, Jimmy Galbraith and Jaques Locas getting the other goals, and 10 men sharing 13 as- CALGARY -- goal, Dertell; defence, CALGARY STAMPEDERS IN 3rd Penalty--Shoquist.

All-Star Dream Team None of Stanley Cup Champions Picked on Coaches Mythical Squad -- Richard Only Unanimous Choice, Schmidt Next -- None Of Leafs on Second Team Either * By SYD THOMAS Montreal, May 2--(CP--A stone- wall backstop, a bruising, rushing defence and a trio of high-flying high-scoring forwards make this year's All-Star coaches' "dream team" of the National Hockey Lea- gue a formidable selection. The 1946-47 mythical team was selected by the circuit's six coachces | from members of teams other than | their own. | Although the Stanley Cup-winn- | ing Toronto Maple Leafs failed tc | make the team, the four-times-in- a-row League Champion Montrea! Canadiens got the lion's share with four placings. Boston Bruins and Chicago Black Hawks nailed the two other positions. Here's the . "perfect sextet" that | would be an opposing coach's night- | mare if set down on the ice to- gether: Goal, Bill Durnan, Montreal Can- adiens; defence, Kenny Reardon and Emile (Butch) Bouchard, Mon- treal Canadiens; centre, Milt Schmidt, Boston Bruins; right wing, Maurice (The Rocket) Rich- ard, Montreal Canadiens; left wing, Doug Bentley, Chicago Black Hawks, Decided On Points The All-Stars were selected by the coaches, who named their first posing players, Their own players were excluded from their selections to prevent any charges of favorit- First choice bot three points second, two and third, one. Only player selected unanimously was the swivel-hipped, bullet-shot Richard, who topped the scorers last season with 45 goals and sel the all-time of mark of 50 in the 1945-46 season. He got the maxi- mum 15 points, and Schmidt ver- satile at left wing and defence as well, collected 14 to win the centre spot. Durnan and Reardon had 13 points each, Bouchard 12 and Bent- ley 10. The second team, with points voted, was: Goal, Frankie Brimsek, Boston (8); defence, Jack Stewart (11) and Bill Quackenbush (11), Detroit Red Wings; centre, Max Bentley (10) icago; right wing, Bobby Bauer 1), Boston; left wing, Porky Du- mart (9), Boston. To the members of the All-Star crew, selected this year by the coaches for the first time--the Can- adian Press polled Sports Writers in the N.HL. cities to select the team in previous years--go indivi- dual cheques for $1,000 from the League. Durnan, who won the Ve- «na Trophy for goaltending for the fourth time in a row Mst season collects an equal amount for cop- ping the trophy. Several Repeaters With the exception of Reardon Pe ° second and third choices among op- | M: the rushing, hustling Irishman whe sparked Canadiens to scme of their , greatest victories this year, the squad is All-Star In past selection as well, Durnan has been named to the first team in each of his four years in the NHL, a record in itself; Bouchard held down a second-team spot before making the first squad last year: Schmidt was selected in 1939-40 before he went into the armed forces, Richard's selection was his third in a row, and little Doug Bently has been on two All- Star squads before this year. DARLINGTON SOCCER LOOP OPENS MAY 1 Bowmanville, May 2.--At a meeting held in the town hall, Hampton, the Darlington Football League was or- ganized for the 1947 season, officers were elected and the season's schedule was drawn up and approved. Starting May 17, with Enniskillen at Courtice, the schedule will end August 20 with Solina at Bowmanville and Tyrone at Zion. All told there are eight teams that will compete for the crown and cup won by Hampton last year. Zion is the new entrant for the year and if they live up to tradition will be strong 1 contenders. The other teams are, En-- niskillen Courtice, Solina, Hampton, Orono, Tyrone and Bowmanville, With 56 games scheduled, this year's league is almost in the class of the National Hockey League with the final officers were re-el d by 1 tion : result just as important. Last year's President, Lloyd Ashton; vice-president, Harry Davey; secretary-treasurer, Jack Reynolds. If a suggestion is in order could the executive not arrange to have a press release made after each game, giving the score and names of each team as well as highlights that often feature these exciting contests? With so many games of all kinds taking place almost every evening no press reporter can handle the job properly, Clip this schedule for reference: ay 17--Enniskillen at Courtice Orono at Tyrone 21--Solina at Zion Bowmanville at Hampton 24--Hampton at Enniskillen Courtice ac Bowmanville 28--Zion at Orono Tyrone at Eolina 31--Enniskillen at Bowmanville Courtice at Zion une 4--Solina at Orono pton at Tyrone 7--Zion at Enniskillen Solina at Courtice 11--Orono at Hampton Tyrone at Bowmanville 14--Enniskillen at Solina Oourtice at Tyrone 18--Bowmanville at Orono Hampton at Zion 21--Tyrone at Enniskillen Orono at Courtice 25--Solina at Hampton Zion at Bowmanville 28--Enniskillen at Orono Hampton at Courtice ul; zion at Tyrone Bowmanville at Solina 5--Courtice at Enniskillen Tyrone ate«Orono 9--Zion at Solina Hampton at Bowmanville 12--Enniskillen at Hampton Bowmanvillé at Courtice 16--Orono at Zion .

Intermediate La- | crosse Club held their first workout | Thursday night on the flats north of the Arena. The air was brisk and the field damp but this did not affect the enthusiasm of some 35 wielders of the gutted stick who soon were down -te---their shirt- sleeves and sweating off a pound or two. Hugh McMahon weighed in at 210, plus sweaters, windbreaker and overcoat. Remember Hugh in 1941 at a neat 172? Kenny Saunders surprised the young aggregation by turning out for the first practice; he probably can't forget stepping in to help Peterboro in the play- offs last fall and coming to the conclusion The King's uniform isn't a substitute for a lacrosse stick. It was really a treat to see Vern Bowen mixing it with "Butch" and "Fat" Suddard and smiling glee- fully as he gained possession of the old ball with all the skill and experience of one of the old-timers. Speaking of old-timers, veteran "Chuck" Barron looked at home with a stick in his hand, but wouldn't commit himself. It seems strange, however, that old "Chuck" has been keeping in shape, besides playing hockey all winter. Jerry Cooper was working out but he claims he's strictly the executive type from here in. Whereever la- crosse 8xists Brooklin blossoms, Hugh Ormiston, "Kohen" Cooke, Willie and Luther Vipond expect to throw in their lot (of aggressive- ness) with Oshawa. Joe Childer- house was bellowing at two of his offsprings to get in there and fight. Joe is really starting early. The railbirds swarming around Harry Lott asking who's that? What's his mame? But Tommy Hart did most of the answering. To get this information he was really covering a lot of territory to catch up to the youngsters the products of the juvenile league, sponsored by the Intermediate club of 1941. Players like Ralph Cooke, "Fat" Suddard, Jack O'Brien, Jack Ratz, the two Childerhouse boys, Rora- beck, Sutherland and many others all good calibre players and many good young intermediate material. Manager Bob Johnson, just re- leased from hospital and recovering from an operation, sat on the side- lines, and feeling exceptionally pleased with the first turnout. There were many faces still absent but another practice will probably see them all out as soon as they find out where their wives have hidden their sticks. "Ab" Hambly of the Oshawa Arena is doing all possible to get the boys in the arena and give them a chance to get the feel of the hardwood floor. It is hoped that Tuesday night at 6:30 the arena will be available, this is the time set for the next practice, and to all additional prospective play=- ers, "Bring your favorite stick and drop down, you're always welcome." N.H.L. ALL-STARS WHIP CANADIENS BEFORE STUDENTS Vernon, B. C., May 2--(CP)--Led by the five goal effort of the Pony Line of the Bentleys and Bill Mos- ienko, the National Hockey League All-stars defeated the Montreal Canadiens 6-3 in an exhibition game, staged here today for 1,500 school children of the Okanagan. Max Bentley copped the two open- ing counters unassisted and Mosien- ko also tallied twice in the first ses- sion with Doug. Bentley opening the scoring in the second period. Jimmy Conacher scored the final goal for thé Stars. Canadien marksmen were Roger Leger, Billy Reay and "Rock- et" Richard. C.R.A. TO FORM MINOR ASSOC. IN SOFTBALL At a meeting Wednesday evening of all groups interested in minor softball, a motion was passed ask- ing the Community Recreation As- sociation to organize the leagues and prepare the required entry forms. The meeting was called to decide the question of whether the church and Sunday School groups would provide good sponsorship and back- ing to the boys' and girls' teams. Only five cliurches sent represen/- tatives to the meeting and those who did have representatives pres- ent felt that this response did not indicate sufficient interest to make a successful organization. Accord- ingly the motion was passed asking CR.A. to assume responsibility for organizing and running the league Age classifications this year will be in accordance with O.AS.A, rules for midget and bantams . . . midget being under 16 as of May 1st and Bantams being under 14 on May 1st. The youngest age group known as Mites or Peeves will be under 12 on May 1st. The same age groups will held true for girls' teams. If there is a demand for more adult softball, which is played as recreation only and not to be en- tered in regular senior league ball Sa, will assist in any way - e. The allotment of icme diamonds will be done in co-operation with the President of the Oshawa City and Industrial League who has been given jurisdiction over all city park diamonds by the Parks Board Team registration forms are now being prepared and registrations will be received during the next twc or three weeks, Some zoning may be used to eliminate the necessity of teams travelling great distances at least until play-offs are reached. Each team must arrange for hav- | ing its own adult coach, manager or gponsor. It is hoped that church and Sunday School officials will take a personal interest in seeing thes the boys' and girls' teams are well managed, develop good habits of sponsorship and receive encour- ELECT THEIR STAR TEAM WORLD'S RECORD RAINBOW TROUT CAUGHT YESTERDAY Sandpoint, Idaho, May 2 (AP).-- A world's record Kamloop Rainbow trout was caught in Lake Pend Oreille yesterday on the opening day of the season and will be sent by air express to President Truman. C. L. Shepherd of Opportunity, Wash.,, who landed the 36-pound giant, turned it over to Sandpoint Chamber of Commerce officials who announced it would be sent to the President. The fish was credited with break- ing the record set last year with a 32-pound, eight ounce title winner was hauled from the lake by Law- rence Hamilton of Reardon, Wash. SOFTBALL PRACTICE FOR ROBSON LEATHER TEAM The Robson Leather "Tannery" Intermediate "A'* softball team will hold a practice at Alexandra Park on Saturday afternoon, at 3:00 o'clock and all players wishing to try out for places on this team, are urged to attend. agement in their games. Entry forms may be cbtained af- ter Monday, May 5, from the Com- munity Recreation Office. AN Big League Ball Games Yesterday By JACK HAND Shed a tear for "Sad Sam" Brea- don who flew from St. Louis to "pep up" his world champion Car- dinals and arrived in time to watch them stumble through an eighth- straight loss on a homer by New York's Johnny Mize. Mize, an old hired hand whom Breadon peddled to the Giants for $50,000 and three players more than five years ago, put the finger on the last-place Cards' early season trouble with one full swing of his war club. The Red Bird pitchers are throwing too many home run balls. Coming up with a man on and the Giants trailing by one in the seventh, Mize hommerde a Aken Burkhart delivery against the right field barrier to give the Giants a 6-5 decision. Ken Trinkle, who had earned the decision Wednesday by pitching one relief inning, picked up a second straight win by Blanking the champs in the last three innings as the Giants overcame a 5-0 St. Louis lead. The leading dodgers routed Bob Chipman with a three-run second inning and went on for a 5-2 vic- tory over Chicago. Kirby Higbe re- quired relief help from Rookie Edd Chander to preserve his second win. While St. Louis mourned the Cards' misfortunes, the Browmies gave them something to cheer about with a 20-hit attack and 14-5 rout of Washington. Once again manager Harold (Mudy) Ruel lifted his starting pit- cher Jack Kramer and believed with Cliff Fannin although the Browns held a nine-run lead going into the ninth. Two homers by Jeff Heath and one by gookie Ray Coleman were the big blows of an attack that in- cluded two doubles and a pair of singles by Bob Dillinger. Rain washed out the other games scheduled in both leagues. TO DOG TOWNSHIP OF NOTICE OWNERS EAST WHITBY May 10, 1946.
