i vd ( J PAGE FOURTEEN THE DAILY TI MES-GAZETTE THURSDAY, APRIL 29, 1948 . Buffalo Boxers Battle Here Tonight TONY BIFULCO JOEY GIAMBRA 'Above are two clean-cut youngsters from Buffalo, N.Y., who each enjoys a good reputation in the "squared ring" circles there as a coming scrap- per. Tony Bifulco will fight a five-round semi-final bout with Fred Harding of Oshawa and the two boys, fighting at 121 Ibs. each, should give Jocal fight fans a sizzling bout tonight. In the other five-round féature, "Bud" Henry of Oshawa, who has never lost a decision in a local ring, will tangle with Joey Giambra, who stresses speed and boxing skill as compared with Henry's heavy slugging. . PORT ©. . ) NAPSHOTS comsbes | -- Barrie Flyers made their best showing of the series last night at Maple Leaf Gardens (they still had almost 12,000 customers on hand after that 8-1 shellacking) and it was easily the best game of the series to date, although Port Arthur West End Bruins now need only one more victory to clinch the Memorial Cup. Proof that Toronto hockey fans still love their hockey, especially Memorial Cup playoffs, is given in that attendance last might, following a one-sided game only two nights previously, which in most cities, would have written "finis" to the interest and attendance. * * +» The Bruins broke out with a lead last night but Barrie came back to tie the score three times ahd put on a tremendous burst of pressure in the third period. However, there was na scoring, thanks to a brilliant goal display by Lorne Chabot and the Bruins were able to hang on and so win their third-straight in the series. The two teams go again on Saturday and now the question, is can Port Arthur clean it up in four-straight or has the Barrie team finally got back in stride and so may be able to stave off the end, at least one game longer. * * Coach "Happy" Emms may not be getting much space on the strength of his astute coaching and the success of his team, in this current Memorial Cup series, but he certainly is getting his name in print often enough, by other methods. His attempt to spur his team to greater effort by making a press statement that it looked as if his team Had "had it," that he wished Windsor' had beaten Barrie, etc, didn't find much favor with the neutral fans, Now his latest "inter- view" is causing some laughs too--maybe some concern for the CAHA officials also. He has declared that he'll not put his team on the ice again to continue the series, unless there is a change in referees. We didn't see last night's game but on Monday night, the officials, the way we saw it, did their best to help make a game of it for the fans, by giving penalties only when necessary--and usually. to Port Arthur. "Hap" had better get a better idea than that one--or somebody will tell him that he'll play Saturday night and play with the referees that are appointed--or else! And those CAHA boys have a lot of handy methods of making that "or else" business really stick, 4 * * They opened the Allan Cup series last night out at Regina and it was apparently a rougheroo, with Edmonton and Ottawa doing a lot of cluich-and-grab stuff, while trying to score goals. The Flyers must be a handy team at that, to knock off thé Senators 6-2 but then the Ottawa boys had just finished a gruelling series with Hamilton Tigers and this, plus the long train trip, wouldnt have them in the best shape. They Should make a better showing in the remaining games. * * * SPORTS SHORTS--Dai Rees leads the early finishers of the Daily Mail's $10,000 golf tourney. Rees had a 71 today to go with a 68 yes- terday to give him a nice two-day total of 139.

Buffalo Boys Coming A group of four Buffalo, N.Y, boxers will 'be here for tonight's show and they represent some out- standing talent, who will, however, have to show their best wares to for their so highily- maintain their reputatio; Oshawa opponents are rated in the fistic circles of this province. Goelding In Main The main bout will feature Vince Batista of Buffalo and he is sched- uled for a 5-round "go with Billy Goulding, Oshawas best-known boxer at the present time. Goulding is regarded as one of Canada's Olympic prospects and to achieve this honor, he has only to come up with his best form in his mext few bouts. % This main bout should be a siz- zler, for both are capable of hitting very hard, but each is regarded also as a first-class boxer. up as a real sizzler, with Fred Harding, local blonde bomber who acks dynamite in each fist id | can throw either hand with amaz- ing speed, taking on Tony Bifulco of Buffalo, Bifulco is unknown here but his Buffalo friends say he's a "speed merchant" so the bout with Harding should be hot and heavy, from start to finish.

Oshawa boxing ring. Henry is a slugger and un- | guage, hell have a very rugged time of it.

PLAN SOFTBALL BODY FOR MINOR BOYS Heavy List of Softhall Teams Creates Need for Own Assoc. to Give Opportunity to More Boys C.R.A. Officers Point Out That Demand for Or- ganized Softball by Al- most 75 Teams Is Too Much for Them to Handle--Oshawa Ban- tam and Midget Boys' Teams to Play Under Banner of Own Associ- ation, Which Will Be Formed On May 11. At a well-attended meeting held last night at the C.R.A. "Lecture Room," with about thirty-five or- ganization representatives on hand, the problem of providing organized softball for the host of teams, both girls and boys, in the city of Osha- wa and immediate district was thor- oughly discussed, with' a resolution being unanimously endorsed to form a "Oshawa Minor Softball Associa- tion," for the express purpose of conducting leagues for boys, in the Bantam and Midget age groups. George Roberts, President of the Oshawa and District Community Recreation Association, reviewed the wide scope of softball activity con- ducted last summer under. the C. R.A. banner and advised the meet- ing that an increase in the number of teams intending to compete this season, made- it imposible for. the C.R.A. to handle them all, die to a shortage of staff and the financial side of thé problem. About 75 Teams Expected Indications at last night's meet. ing were that at least 75 boys and girls "minor" teams will be seeking a place to play organized softball this summer, with about 10 teams in the Pee-Wee girls and 10 more in the Midget girls' leagues. Pee-Wee, Bantam and Midget boys' leagues will also be required, in order to extend the opportunity of playing softball to all the groups that are prepared to enter a team and in some sections, as many as 15 entries are anticipated. Special Leagues In Township In addition, a special association will be formed in the "Township" area, it was intimated by Harold Pascoe, who pointed out that they expect to operate teams in the Pee- Wee, Bantam and Midget groups al- 80. Westmount, Thornton's Corners, Columbus-Raglan, Harmony, Brook. lin, Courtice and North Oshawa have all been named as communi- ties expecting to put some teams, in these various leagues. Every City Area Represented 'With the recently organized "Neighbourhood Associations" lead- ing the way, various delegates an- nounced that they were present to represent a certain group or district and a round-up of the information given revealed that almost every area in the city of Oshawa will have a team in one or other of the var. fous leagues. The Community Recreation Asso- ciation welcome the decision to form a special Association to handle the boys in Bantam and Midget groups and George Roberts ,on. béhalf of C.R.A, announced that they would conduct all girls' softball leagues, in any of the age-groups, Pee-Wee, Bantam and Midget and in addi- tion, would handle and operate a Pee-Wee Boys' league or leagues, as might be necessary, to accommo. date all boys under 12-years-old, who want to play softball this sum- mer.

He assured the meeting that any assistance and help that could be given the youngsters by the Oshawa City & District Soft- ball Association or by the O.AS.A. officials, would be given without hesitation. \ The chairman also pointed out to the meeting that organization was vitally necessary, in order to make a proper request to the Oshawa "Parks Board" for diamonds since that body was faced with a tremen- dous problem of finding playing accommodation for at least ten dif. ferent local softball leagues, em- bracing more than 100 teams, each wanting a place to play. Jimmy McFadden Gets Calder Cup By Big Majority By DON HUNT Canadian Press Staff Writer Montreal, April 20 -- (CP) -- The only native-born Irishman in the National Hockey League is the rookie of the year.

McFadden. born in Belfast 27 years ago, collected 50 of a possible 54 points in balloting by 18 hockey writers, three in each NHL. city. His closest competitor was Pete Babando of Boston Bruins who polled only 2Z points. With the trophy goes $1,000 from the league.

The trophy, a memorial to the late Frank Calder, President of the NHL. from its formation in 1917 until his death in 1943, is awarded to the "player selected as the most proficient in his first year of com- petition." Of 34 eligible rookies, only six were considered. Red Kelly, rugged Detroit rearguard, got 14 points to place third. Centres Don Raleigh of New York Rangers and Ed Sand- ford of Boston got eight points and defenceman Bill Barilko of Toron- to four. Although born in Ireland, McFad- den hag Jong made his home at Darlingford, Man., where he owns and operates a wheat farm, He finished the regular season with 48 points--24 goals and 24 as- sists--which put him in 11th place among the scorers. In the Stanley Cup playoffs (which do not figure in the voting) Jimmy notched five goals and three assists to place fourth.
