CER SHA fe ~ WEDNESDAY, APRIL 7, 1948 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE ELEVEN Spicy Bits From Other Sports Cols. By GEORGE FORSTER €anadian Press Staff Writer Regina, April 6--(CP)--Talk of & mammoth Western Inter-provincial Junior Hockey League, current on the Prairies for months, is becom. ing more and more definite with President George Vogan of Moose Jaw Canucks saying "This time we mean business." Rumors say the league will com- prise two Winnipeg teams, Mon- / Canadiens, Brandon Pres: xi Kings, Regina Patricias and a: ose Jaw Canucks. 27, Lethbridge Native Sons and Medi- cine Hat Tigers, apparently won't enter any such league next season. Murray (Moose Jaw Times-Her- ald) Brown says Vogan is hard at work making plans for the league to go into operation next fall. "And take it from the likeable Canuck chief," says Brown, "the league is a certainty." Dave (Regina Leader-Post) Dry. burgh sees one main problem for the new league: *" . . .

The league has beeen talked of in Saskatchewan for more than two years. Club executives apparently feel the higher gates resulting from a tough, well.balanced league will do more than cover the heavier ex- penses involved in the new league. Talent-hungry hockey scouts could do worse than look up an Ottavra figure skater called Scott. After watching Barbara Ann skate at Calgry, Drybush enthused: "She comes almost to a dead halt, and in one graceful movement is off again without ever using the other skate . . . If she could handle a stick what a hockey player Barbara would be to fake a defence." P--T--8-- By AL COLLETTI Canadian Press Staff Writer New York, April 6--(CP)-- The Roc Live Wires ....

Dog racing is one of the most po. pular of British sports and bookies, parked inside the course, take the tulk of the public's money. The to. | talisator, on the other hand, is one of the track's chief sources of rev- enue. Under the chancellor's scheme each bookie is to pay a licence duty for each meeting--£6 ($24) in the two.shilling betting enclosure; £18 in the four-shilling ring and £48 in the 15-shilling enclosure.

The Clevelanders last night down. ed Buffalo Bisons 5-3 for their sec- ond straight victory in the best- of_seven final series giving them a 2-0 playoff margin. Now the scene shifts to Buffalo and Bisons supporters are hoping that the jinx works on Thursday and Saturday, dates of the third and fourth games. Barons were never behind last night, rapping home two goals in the first period, two in the second an one in the third. Buffalo netted two in' the middle session and one in the final. Bob Solinger, Johnny Holota, Les Brennan, Hymie Buller, and Pete Leswick connected for the winners while Joe Bell, Les Douglas and Jerry Brown each dented the twine once for Buffalo.

Winnipeg Flyers skate into their best-of-seven Western Canada senior final here tonight. The winner will represent its home town in Allan Cup play for the first tlme in many a hockey season. Winnipeg had its last hoc- key delegate in the Allan Cup fin- als in 1931 while Edmonton has yet to reach that stage. The Edmonton club arrived here last night and coach-manager Frank Currie put his 14 charges through a light skate today before the initial game. Winnipeg has had workouts the last couple of days and coach Art Barnett feels his crew is ready for Edmonton, favor. ed in the betting to take this series.

New York, April 7--(AP)--Things were quiet along the 49th Street "beach" with most of the mob in Washington to see "The Rock" fight, but in his cubicle in the Gar. den building Nat Fleischer was giv- ing off ideas, as usual . .. "Every. where they're trying to change box- ing rules to prevent injuries. and deaths," Nat said, "but there's no concerted action in the right di- rection . They just: make the rule book and the handling of a fight more cumbersome. . . What is needed isn't mew rules but strict adherence to an interpretation of the rules they have . . .

Dr. Vincent Nardiello, who does the examining here, has offered a proposal which Fleischer enthusias. tically seconds as the best way of checking boxers' health « Ibis for the Athletic Commission to es- tablish a clinic, with all the modern equipment ahd a corps of special. ists who could be summoned by the director . . , Each fighter would be And most of 'them hesitate to re- required to undergo a thorough ex- amination there twice a year--and the staté would pay the cost out of boxing tax money . . . That's okay for a city like New York, but how about the kids from small upstate towns? . . . They're the ones who'll get the least and need it the most. All the signs floating in from Dodgerville¢ indicate that Branch Rickey may be trying to cook up a deal for Pete Reiser. No telling where he'll go. Quaint quotes from the boxing beat: Terry Young (on Paddy De Mar- co): "I bit him; I spit at him; I cursed him, but still the bum wouldn't fight." Rocky Graziano: "If they dont ban me out, they'll rust me out."
