THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE 8 Fighters Chosen : For Olympic Tests From Eastern Ont. Ottawa, May 5--(CP) -- Eight Eastern Ontario amateur boxers Tuesday night were selected to compete in the Dominion Olympic boxing trials in Montreal May 2. Seven of the eight fought their way into the Olympic trials after a two-day district tournament which ended Tuesday night. About 30 as. pirants from Brockville, Smiths Falls, Cornwall and Ottawa entered the Coliseum ring in Ottawa. Cornwall's Vincent Tyo, failed to put in an appearance Tuesday night after winning a split decision against Ottawa's Ronnie Lacelle. The decision was thrown out on a technical point in their fight Mon- 'PAGE THIRTEEN BOSTON RELEASES TREICHEL Pittsburgh--Al Treichel, 28-year= old righthanded pitcher, was given his unconditional release by- the Boston Braves, 1944 Belleville Loop Commences Ball Action Saturday Belleville, May 4.--Seven teams will face the barrier in the Belleville Baseball League when action opens on Saturday, May 22.

International League Action Big League Baseball Yesterday By JOE REICHLER Associated Press Sports Writer St. Louis Cardinals this season Spicy Bits From Other Sports Cols. By AL VICKERY 'Winnipeg, May 5--(CP) -- With the lack of new songs on the mar- ket these days, somebody should take time out to compose such dit- ties as "Ode to a Whistle-Tooter," or "A Referee's Lament'--for the boys in white took quite a roasting in the last hockey campaign. Since the junior and senior hockey playoffs began hardly a series went by: without somebody yelling for the referees' scalps--did somebody say give this country back to the Indians? By The Associated Press The International League cele- brates its second "opening" today as the circuit's four northern teams, Rochester, Buffalo, Mont- real and Toronto, play their first 1948 games at home. Capacity crowds are expected at all parks with some 63,000 fans witnessing the four games. At Rochester, the Red Wings en- tertain Syracuse Chiefs with 15,000 fang expected to be on hand. Base- ball Commissioner A. B., Chandler is scheduled to throw out the first ball. Bill In The Oshawa Rural Power District There will be an interruption to our Rural Power Service in the Oshawa Rural District on Thursday, May 6, 1948, from 1.30 p.m. to 4.30 p.m. Daylight Saving Time, in that area as set out in detail below: On the West, lot 22, Whitby Township. Righthander Reeder has been nominated to pitch for Roch- | ester. Southpaw Jim Wallace is listed as his onent. teams will meet for the right to A turnout of Tony (Winnipeg Tribune) Allan in a recent column reviewed the situation insofar as western teams were concerned, and reports from the east indicated things were no better there. In the Manitoba junior finals, Allan says, Winnipeg Canadiens couldn't get along with Referee Lorne (Windy) Lyndon and held him largely responsible for their losing to 'Winnipeg Monarchs. In the Thunder Bay.Manitoba junior playoffs between Monarchs and Port Arthur Bruins, Winnipeg fans were anything but satisfied with the officiating and play was held up repeatedly while the cleared of programs and other debris. The senior series between Winni- peg Flyers and Fort Frances Cana- dians was cleanly played through- | out and, apart from one bottle- | throwing incident, rhubarbs. The flabbergasted offi. | cials, Allan relates, went to both dressing rooms to shake hands with the players after the series was over. However, the next western senior series--the final between Winnipeg and Edmonton Flyers--followed the more usual pattern. The first game | here was little short of a brawl and before the series was over, Winni- peg - succeeded in having Lyndon replaced by Stan Swain of Calgary. The western junior final between Lethbridge Native Sons and Port Arthur also had difficulties, with Lorimer (Lethbridge Herald) Fen- wick reporting: "Just to prove that all the hulla- baloo about the refereeing at Port Arthur wasn't Native Son propa- | ganda, it should be put on record | that Ed Bruchet, manager of the | Sons, and Frank Boucher, coach of New York Rangers, really rode roughshod over some of the C.A. HA: officials regardin® the officiat. ing, the replacement issue, and a number of other things pertaining to the series. They got several of them to admit that the refereeing left plenty to be desired." i Allan. then recalls that the Me- | morial Cup final between Arthur and Barrie Flyers, e Coach Eddie Lauwon of Port Arthur was complaining about the officiat- ing . . . and then Coach Happy Emms of Barrie went running to Geoyge Panter, acting registrar of the C.AA HA, with a threat to keep his team off the ice unless the offi- clals were changed for the fourth game. (Allan's column was written be- fore the final game in which Alf Guarda of Barrie tossed several punches at Referee Vic Lindquist of Winnipeg.) Who is responsible for this sad state of affairs? | "The C.A-H.A. is to blame, rather than the officials," Allan says, "be. cause it hasn't the guts to tell the referees that the rules mean exact- ly what they say. The referees are | put on the spot when league offi- cials advise them not to be 'too rough' and to use their 'discretion' yhen it comes to penalties for | boarding and high-sticking. The | referees, if they expect to receive further assignments, are powerless to do otherwise." It doesn't help matters that the rules are always being tinkered with--if you haven't seen a hockey game in 10 years, you'd hardly recognize it as the same sport, says | Allan, . Apropos of rule changes in hockey, Albert (Battleship) Leduc, | fenceman with Montreal Cana- | ens in the Morenz era, is credited with this wise observation: "From | the first time I see baseball, they never change second base from second base."
