-2 Re --. Oa i i § H : is PAGE: SIXTEEN THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1947 As We See Him! TORONTOS HARD HITTING RIGHT WAGER B/IL ELINICKI WHOSE BODY CHECKING ALTHOUGH HARD AND CLEAN 15 STILL AMUCH DISCUSSED SUBJECT BY Geo. H. Campbell GEORT NAPSHOTS Oshawa B'Nai B'Rith feted their Junior baseball team last night at the Hotel Genosha and once again they did it up in glorious style. Not only did the boys prove champions getting outside a big steak (we know now why they call him "Beefy" Bathe) but they were champions too in presenting a handsome floor-lamp, ash.tray stand to their coach "Snowball" Wilson. The B'Nai B'Rith men gave the young players and all connected with the team, trainer, mascot, ete., a handsome blue coat, bearing the B'Nai B'Rith emblem. Then to top it off, Harry Sniderman, Canada's greatest Jewish athlete and incidentally one of the top athletes ever seen in this Dominion, came up with a championship talk to the young players, explaining what the B'Nai B'Rith emblem means and what sport means and can do for boys who want to work at it. It was a great night and one the young players will never forget. +* +» LJ Oshawa Generals chalked up another valuable victory last night on Galt ice, when they defeated Guelph Biltmores 6-1. The Generals 'had scored a goal before a half-minute of play, with Eric Pogue breaking out on a rush from the face-off to pass the puck to "Sandy" Air and that worthy potted it nicely. Later, early in the 3rd period, the two boys reversed the procedure. Pogue not only played another fine game, at centre-ice, where's he's learning that, centre-ice men can not always pass the puck just when the winger is hollering for it, but last night Eric also kept his nose oup of a couple of squabbles in which he might easily have joined--but he skated away, took a lot of bumps and inter- ference "riding" and still stayed on the ice and played heads-up. hockey, without a penalty. > * . Jimmie Strachan, who has held Barrie Flyers together by his sensational puck.stopping in many a game in.the past three seasons, is now with Guelph Biltmores. He played his first game with the "Hatters" last night in Galt and but for his brilliant work in goal, the Generals would have piled up a double-figure total instead of only a half.dozen goals. Strachan was really in his best form and the Guelph rooters feel they've got a stronger team now. Dick Gamble got a couple of goals again and this line got four of the six tallies, with "Chuck" Blair and George Scholes each getting one. Pete Piquette lost his shutout, late in the third period again, when Bathgate beat him cleanly. It was a clean-cut win for the Generals and puts them back tied for first place, with the Windsor Spitfires. There were only four penalties in last night's game with Guelph-- Oshawa drew them all. L +» LJ And that sets everything just dandy for tomorrow night's game here when the Stratford Kroehlers will visit Oshawa Generals for a Saturday night attraction and another sellout. Kroehlers are the only team to beat the Generals so far in this year's Junior "A" schedule. On top of that, Kroehlers suffered a humiliating overtime defeat 3-2 the other night right in front of their own fans, at the hands of Toronto Marlboros, and they're itching to take out the sting of that defeat at- anybody's expense--first choice being Oshawa Generals. Add it all up and it looks as if Chick Appel and his cohorts will be here tomorrow evening "with blood in their eye" afid it's still our personal opinion that Stratford Kroehlers have the material to prove one of the best teams in the league before the title is decided. L 2 & » The Ontario Amateur Softball Association Executive Committee will wind up their 1947 business at a meeting on Sunday, when the various championships won during the past season will be confirmed and the year's progress and growth will be reviewed. Among the important items of business will be the dealing with suspensions handed out during the past summer. Player Yuill and Manager Ab. Samanski of Whitby will have their suspensions reviewed and perhaps will be on hand to plead their cases, before the 0.A.8.A. Executive Committee. Several other suspensions, levied this sum- mer, in various parts of the Province; will also be given the once. over and the "findings" are padsed on to the various Ontario Ama. teur athletic bodies, such as the 0.A.C, O.HA, 0.B.A., O.R.F.U. and O.L.A., by whom any suspension is almost invariably upheld. Misdemeanours in sport are very serious and are properly treated so, > "* * * The annual O.M.H.A. meeting, Ontario Minor Hockey Association, is booked for tomorrow in Toronto and its the 14th annual conflab, They attained new heights last year and retiring President Luke, of this city, can relinquish the reins with a feeling of justifiable pride. They have only a short agenda on the books for tomorrow with a few major rule changes, merely some clarifications as suggested by their own Executive Committee. Vic Burr of this city is running for an Executive post and we are all hoping the popular' "City League" official makes the grade. He can do the O.M.H.A, a lot of good, for he's a hard worker, conscient- ious and above all has ood sense of balance in the matter of the rights and expectations of players, sponsors, leagues and the Association.' * * LJ One of the most successful deer.hunting expeditions of the now concluded season was staged by an Oshawa "gang" who so far h 't given th Ives a club name but should perhaps take the name of "Success Hunt Club." Len Anderson, Gord. Petrie, Gord. Coppin, Ron Luke, Art Twilley, Glen Salter, John MacDonald and Harry Stacey form the group and they came home with a full count of two big does and six fine bucks, three of the bucks being in the "200.1b, class." In addition they got a 171 Ib. bear, a bear cup and a red fox. The boys took pictures of their "bag" but unfortunately they were not clear enough to make a good newspaper reproduction, or all our readers could have had a glimpse of their success. + 4 * SPORT SHORTS~Dr. James A.

Williams, who led the league in batting (.343) runs batted in (114) and home runs (32) as well as in runs scored, total bases and bases on balls, poligd 201 votes to gain the runnertup spot. It marked the second time he fin- ished second to DiMaggio and the third time he was runner up to a Yankee player. Th» Red Sox' slugging outfield er, who won the award hands hands down last year with 224 votes, finished second to DiMag in 1941 and to Joe Gordon in 1942, DiMag also won in 1939. Foxx gained the honor in 1932 and '33 with the Athletics and in 1938 with the Sox, The balloting for third place also was decided by one point with Lou Budreau, shortstop- Manager of Cleveland Indians, beating out Joe Page, the Yank- ees' great left-handed relief pit- cher, 1568 votes to 167. Phil Marchildon of . Penetan. guishene, Ont., right-hander for Philadelphia Athletics who won 19 games for the second-division club, landed ninth position with 47 points, Figures are misleading in the case of DiMaggio. While they show he batted only .315, 28 points behind Williams' figure, and drove in 93 runs on 20 home JOE DiMAGGIO WINS AMERICAN LEAGUE "MOST VALUABLE" TITLE AGAIN runs, he was far more valuable than that, The Yank®e clipper, unable to get into the lineup at the start of the season due to a slowly-heal ing foot following an operation, courageously de:ided to play des- pite the handicap when the Yan- kees got off to a slow start, His big bat and his outstanding work in centrefield immediately spark- ed the team to a succession of victories that eventually brought the pennant to New York. Trounce Guelph On Galt Ice, Biltmores Climb Back Tied for Top with Windsor Generals Lead 6-0 Be- fore Hatters Score -- Dick Gamble Gets Two For Generals While Pogue, Air, Scholes and C. Blair Share Oth- er Four -- Jim Strach- an, Former Barrie Goalie, Stars in Nets For Guelph By The Canadian Press Maybe "Swat" Mason regrets leaving his soft cushion on the Hamilton Tigers' bench for the hard wooden board of his season's Ontario Hockey Association's Ju-. nior "A" mentors, Whatever wiles of the trade he has picked up from his session with the Ben- gals, in the Senior "A" loop, he seems to find the course difficult for his Junior charges, Guelph Biltmores, who were given a 6-1 pasting by the Oshawa Generals last night, When "Swat" took over coach- ing duties from Bobby Bauer, who moved up into an Executive position with the club this week, he faced the chore of re.molding this ninth place club with a weak defence into something the share- holders would smile at. Barrie Goalie For Guelph Last night didn't help. The Generals regained their first- place tie with Windsor Spitfires in the only O.H.A, fixture of the night, played at Galt. It was Guelph's eighth loss in 11 games, The Oshawa squad notched their 10th victory in 11 starts, Guelph's sub-goalle Jimmy Strachan, obtained from Barrie Flyers, made his debut while "re- gular" Hank ' Lawson nursed a broken finger, ' Oshawa started turning the trick with a three-goal first period, adding another in the second ses- sion and two more in the third frame hefore Guelph's Frank Bathgate tallied Biltmores' lone counter, "Dick" Gamble led the Osha- wa attack with two tallies and the other Generals goals came from Eric Pogue, "Sandy" Air, "Chuck" Blair and Dick choles. Oshawa Opens Kast The game was away to a flying start as far as the Oshawa Gener- Is were concerned when Eric Pogue took the puck from the opening face-off, criss-crossed up the ice with his right-winger "Sandy" Air and made a pass to that gentleman for a goal before the clock had reached the half- minute mark. Generals made it 3-0 before the period had ended, got the only tally of the middle canto and had scored two more early goals in the third frame to take a 6-0 Jead before Pete Piquette lost his shut- out whe: beaten by Bathgate of the Biltmores, Charlie Good handled a straiglit- forward game in like manner, {a- sued only few penalties and the players stuck chiefly to the busi- ness on hand, penalties meted out. Yet, if ft hadn't been for these forced shor. tages and goalie Jimmie Strach- an's sensational play 'in the nets, especially in the second period, the Generals would have piled up a much greater total, GUELPH: Goal, Strahan: de- fence, B.

Auckland, N.Z., Nov. 28--(CP)-- The trans-Tasman yacht race, clas- sic ocean racing event of the south- ern hemisphere and third longest in the world, will be resumed early in 1948. The race is held across the Tasman Sea between Auckland and an Australian port decided upon before each race by the Royal Akarana Yacht Club, Auckland, which sponsors the race. The dis- tance is normally about 1,200 miles. The first trans-Tasman race since the war was to have been held last season but had to be cancelled owing to shortage of time available for preparing the boats. This sea- son's event will be from Auckland to Hobart, chief city of Tasmania, and is timed to start on Jan. 17. Several ocean-going yachts from Australia and New Zealand are ex- pected to enter.

Ross Tarlton's Hamilton histles, who w e BR, 8, Me Laughlin Tropuy che first yca. the Oshawa Curling Club held their annual 5-day bonspiel in 1944, was one of the two surviv- ing rinkg in Thursday's play as the 1947 event concluded the pre. liminary stages. Tarlton and his men defeated Bert White's Oshawa rink 10-6 yesterday morning in a keen game that saw the visitors get sharp before the homesters could get on edge, After that, White's men went on to win their next two games in handy fashion, thus earning a berth in Friday's quar- ter-finals of the Sykes Memorial Cup play, The Hamilton Thistles went on to win their next two games also, with Tarlton ousting another strong rink from Orillia, in the second round and then nosing out D. Ross of Beaverton in a hectic 3rd round game. Kingston Rink Wins In the other bracket, Ken Miles and his Toronto High Park rink went along in fine fashion, nos- ing out G, Braund's Peterborough rink in their morning game and then nosing out Percy Eveleigh's Oshawa rink 11.10 in the after- noon game, It looked as if Miles' men would scrape their way right through 'Thursday's three rounds but in the evening draw they were fin- ally eliminated, when J. Lumb's Kingston rink took a 13.9 decis- fon, Lumb and his mates beat out Sutherland -of Brampton to open the day's action and then beat out R, E. Green of High Park to get in shape for Ken Miles and his High Park rink in the even- ing game, Accompanying Bert White's rink into the quarter-finals of the Sykes Memorial Cup event will be R. B. Ness of Kingston who de- feated B. Currie in their evening game, Ness had a 5-shot lead "coming home" but Currie scored four on the fina] and almost tied it up, to make it an exciting fin- sh.

The Oshawa Ski Club executive have been burning the midnight oil lately planning a full season of ac= tivities for the Oshawa skiing fraternity. Every Friday night from Novem ber 29th through the 1947-48 season this column will bring the skiing fans of Oshawa the news and views of the Oshawa Ski Club. Sensational New Ski Movies Th> Oshawa Ski Club's annual Movie Night will start off the 1947- 48 skiing season. A full programme has been arranged by Dr. Doug Langmaid and his entertainment committee. The films are sensationally new this year and have never been shown in Oshawa or immediate vicinity before. These movies were shown to packed Toronto Ski Club audiences and at Simpson's Ski Preview. Due to the fact that last year's movie night attracted a much larger crowd than was expected,.seating capacity in the Piccadilly Room of the Hotel Genosha was inadequate. This year The Community Recrea= tion Association (C.R.A.) have been kind enough to let the club use their large hall at 100 Gibb Si. to take care of an expected audience of 500 skiers and friends. The C.R.A. building is directly west of the Ro- tary Hall, but faces on 100 Gibb Street, just one and a half blocks west of Simcoe Street South, The time is 7:45 Sharp, so arrive on time to pe sure of obtaining a comfortable seat. #The movies will consist of two films which the club have spared no expense in obtaining. 1. Winter Sports in Switzerland, 35 minutes, sound and music. Com prising of all winter sports in con- test at the Olympic Games, Ski sequences; downhill, racing, jump- ing at Olympia Hill, slalom as per- formed by the great champions of Switzerland, cross country, ete, 2. A Nation of Skiers, Sound, com- mentary, and music, one hour. A magnificent action film, embodying all phases of skiing. The first part of the film demonstrates the Alpine technique. It is then followed by downhill racing and jumping. This is a film of terrific action, All members and friends of the skiing fraternity are cordially in- vited to attend and accept this club hospitality free of charge. Lecture by Swiss Expert Anton Lundi, who is well known as an authority on skiing in his native Switzerland and in Canada, will give a fifteen minute lecture. The lecture will consist of the "Do's and Don'ts" of skiing as well as an informative talk about the films that will be shown. Ross Larway to Speak Mr, Larway is the Secretary- Treasurer of the Canadian Olympic Sxi Team. He will speak about Can- ada's Olympic Ski team, the entries, their chances of winning, etc, This should be a real treat for the sports minded people of Oshawa and district. The latest Ladies' skiing apparel will be modelled by Miss Betty Met- calfe, Miss Leone Palmer, and Miss Betty Flintoff at the movie night. Judging by last year's enthusiastic response, it seems that the "mere males" take as keen an interest in J. P, Walsh, 7; D. Ross, 13. R. E. Green, 8; J. Lumb, 11. E. P. Eveleigh, 10; K.

OZARK IKE # As Others See Him! > One paper's impression of "Our Bill" (Bill Ezinicki of the Toronto Maple Leafs), the hockey man whose physical prowess with shoulder and hip has timid souls of the N.H.L. running for cover if not appealing to the league directorate to "place a curb on this player immediately." Note the sera- phic expression, the lovely wings. We are indebted to M'sieu Charley Mayer for permission to present Bill as "Les Canadiens" m. of Montreal see the latest feminine skiing creations as the ladies do. Many of the local merchants will display their wares for the benefit of the ski-gear buying public. All in all, members, this promises to be a night of all nights.

Les Canadians Dunk Mapleos; ¢ Boston Beaten By HARRY ECCLES Canadian Press Staff Writer The "what's wrong with Cana- diens" club disbanded in confused satisfaction today after the Habi. tants shut out Toronto Maple Leafs 2.0, But the same ¢lub and a lot of others took. startled note of the fact that Detroit Red Wings beat Boston Bruins 4.1, and thereby roared into a three- point lead in the National Hockey League standing. The two games last night, at Montreal and Detroit, left the Wings three points ahead of Tor. onto and Boston, tied for second, and soved the fourth-place Mon. trealers within two points of the Bruins, That leaves the league standings looking more like their old selves, with New York Ran- gers fifth by four points and Chi. cago at the bottom. At the Forum the Canadiens showed that despite their set. bac! of late they're still power. ful club when it comes to a show- down with their ancient rivals from Toronto. Durnan Back To Form Bill Durnan, recovered from in. juries, was a stand-out as he re- corded his second shut-out over the Leafs--on-- Montreal ice this season, There was 1'ttle difference in the play and it may be it was that Dick Irvin, Canadiens coach won it on psychological factors, He sent Rocket Richard and Elmer Lach on the ice wearing natty helmets, not solid, but held by strips across the skull. Anyway, after Turk Broda had made a great save from a combin. ed attack in the first period Ken. ny Reardon, Montreal 'defence- man, collared the loose puck and scored the first goal, The second resulted in the last period when Lach and Richard in turn passed the puck to old Toe Blake who neatly drove it home, Bruins Below Strength It was a shattered Boston team that skated onto Detroit ice. Vet- eran centre Milt Schmidt suffered an attack of intestinal flu yester- day. Defenceman Jack Crawford was still off with a bruised in- step. Altogether Boston dressed only 13 men. Ted Lindsay scored Detroit/s first goal in the first period and Joe Carveth tied it up when the second frame was only two min. utes old, But Jerry Couture and Pat Lundy both scored to give Detroit a 3-1 edge going-into the final period, and Pete Horecls added another for good measure. The Montreal . Toronto feud will be renewed at Toronto Sate urday with all teams seeing ace tion again Sunday. ---------- HOCKEY'S BIG SEVEN Maurice Richard of Montreal Cana. diens earned an assist as the Hable tants blanked Toronto last night, and the point gave him the leadership of the National "Hockey League scoring race for the first time in three weeks.
