'PAGE FOURTEEN W THE DAILY TI MES-GAZETTE N SATURDAY, MARCH 20, 1948 Y Geo. H. Campbell rd PORT | NAPSHOTS We don't know how it happened. Apparently it was decided some days ago that the sixth game of the O.H.A. Junfor "A" finals would be played in Barrie on Saturday night (tonight) but like most of the other papers in the country, we took our information from the usually reliable source. Even Windsor figured the sixth game was there, back around Wednesday, but the mix-up seems to have been general. At any rate, they didn't play last night and they go at it tonight up in Barrie, in the sixth game of the series, and it will likely be the last one. The way Barrie has dominated the play in the last two games indicates they have more left than the tired Spitfires. Spits played too much hockey all winter. We expected them to crack against the Generals but instead, they were at their very peak form. Even Windsor fans admitted that. However, as often happens, the reaction following.that hectic series took a heavy toll. They had trouble winning the second game on their own ice and they've dropped the last three. Flyers will likely sew up the 'hampionship tonight, unless Spitfires can snap back to top form. * * + Biggest sport news for Oshawa this week-end was the winning of the Ontario Junior Tankard championship by Al Morrison and his Oshawa Curling Club rink. They brought the title to Oshawa last year and this was a repeat triumph for the Oshawa boys, who defeated L. Skitch"s Lindsay Collegiate rink in the final game for the title. The Oshawa rink was comprised of Hugh Wirsching, N. Thomas, "Bud" Moore and Al Morrison. + +* +* A group of Oshawa badminton players, members of the Ontario County Flying Club Badminton Club and the GM Badminton Club, are down in Peterborough this week-end, participating in the annual Central Ontario Badminton Association tournament. This was held at the two local clubs last season and this year is in the Liftlock City, with games last night and the remainder of the tourney being played off this after- noon and evening. Cobourg, Bowmanville, Oshawa, Lindsay and Peter- 'Jorough were all expected to have strong entries. * * * The news that the Oshawa City and District Softball Association is all ready for another banner season, breaks on the first day of sping and should be greeted with keen enthusiasm lo€ally. They've put Johnny Brady back at the helm and Ernie Marks as secretary and with these two stalwarts guiding the association, another good year is expected. Al. Wilson as vice.president and Alex. Donaldson, the canny Scot as treasurer, are the two new officers, with an experi- enced executive committee to back up the officers. All series will again be operated in Oshawa this year, which will be welcome news, and after the delegates return from the 0.A.S'A. annual in Kingston, 'n Good Friday, another meeting will be called for reports and to make further plans for the local season, likely embracing Midgets and Bantams also, or at least giving leadership if leagues in these ztoups can be formed. + * * Oshawa Cricket Club officers returned from the annual Toronto and istrict Cricket Council meeting in Toronto last night, with the fine Rawlinson Trophy," as winners of this section in the 1947 T. & D. ricket Council play. This is a further honor for local sport circles And sngratulations are in order to the cricketers, who have named their ticers and are ready fo another big season here. * * KA FUTURE GAMES--At the Arena tonight, the Markham Million- aires will do battle in the second game of their best of three series vith the Trenton R.C.AF. Flyers. Markham will have a big repre. sentation of fans on hand as they did last time (1,400) to cheer en their team which leads the series one game to none .. . Windsor slays at Barrie tonight in what could be the last game of the junior inals, should Barrie triumph. * * + SPORT SHORTS--Don Gallinger may not be wanted at present by .2 NHL. in a hockey playing capacity, but there are certainly plenty of 1séball clubs who would like to have him for the summer game season . The Senior Intercounty League is one of these. Gallinger by the way ; no mean player, having played lots of minor pro ball in the States . . . cems that the R.C.AF Flyers will be home soon, and when they arrive 1ey will wind up their extensive post-championship schedule with an thibition game in Ottawa against an all-star team made up of N.H.L. nd senior hockey stars. Proceeds are for the Crippled Children's cam- aign. The Flyers will then disband as a team . .. This news comes fter George Dudley made his statement that in future all Canadian spresentative hockey squads should refuse to play on artificial ice and 1 games where Canadian rules are not in force. Seems the Olympic afereeing was not up to the standards set over here . .. The Czechs re really hard losers. They have fired the coach of their hockey squad or not getting a winning team..

Sunday in the Gen. osha Hotel, the Oshawa Red Raider Rugby Club and everyone interested in the gridiron game, will meet for a general discussion of spring plans. Doug Gerrard, recently elected treasurer of the Club, will reveal the facts and figures behind the Red Ralders' financial situation. A minor article on his books will be cleared up members who had tic. kets for last football dance will bring them in, or their monetary equivalent. It was made clear by the execu. tive that anyone at all interested in any phase of rugby football will be welcome at the meeting. "The Club intends to try for more public interest this year than ever fore," one official said today." year we had the makings of two successful teams but the lack of public support, hth morally and financially, was one hosic cause of faflure." He intimated that several public. spirited citizens had shown signs of siding the Club and It was with confidence tr at the executive mem- ber sald: "W'; ne Argonaut Sen.

Cricket Council Annual Meeting in Toronto on Friday night, when cups were presented to the winning teams. Oshawa brought home the Raw- linson trophy, which had been pre. viously won by them in 1937. Although the meeting was largely of a routine nature, spirited discus. sions took place. Details were outlined of proposed programmes for Canadian Cricket for the next few years, culminating in a team to go to England in 1951, Schemes to be adopted for the tea. ching of lads anxious to learn the game were discussed and also the registration of new Canadians -- arriving from England. Arthur Sargant was elected to the Board of G#vernors, this being the first time tkat an Oshawa player has been so honoured. belief that we have posgibilities in Oshawa." It is a definite fact then, that the Red Raiders will this year operate another Junior Big Four team as well as the Intermediate O.RF.U. team which formed the nucleus of the Club three seasons ago.
