PAGE TWENTY-ONE THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1948 Spicy Bits From Other Sports Cols. Vancouver, Nov. 18 -- (CP) -- By Baillie likes faces. He says every- body should have one, if at all pos- sible. Baillie should know. In his 15 years as a sport artist here he has immortalized, more or less, the mugs of nearly 1000 sportsmen and women, Baillie knows every wrinkle in the business. Of the artist Eric (Vancouver Province) Whitehead writes: "Having during his career sketch- ed every type of athlete from pin- setters to polo players, Baillie has come to these conclusions: "The kihdest faces belong to wrestlers. The ugliest, to wrestlers. The cruellest, to wrestlers. In fact, for those who know faces best, it's wrestlers, two to one." Lovable Strangler Whitehead says the reason for Baillie's partiality toward wrestlers is "They have such beautifully scrambled maps." Baillie says the finest subject he ever sketched "Was a kindly old wrestler named Ed (Strangler) Lewis." The Strangler, in Baillie's own ecstatic words, was "The most gorgeously scrambled specimen I ever encountered. Such ears . . such eyes . . . such noses . . ahhh" » Barney Disappoints "One of the most disappointing subjects," says Whitehead, "Was the great lightweight scrapper, Barney Ross. Barney was a 'dead- pan'. Fred (Cyclone) Taylor, hockey immortal, was interesting, Fred's face was a fascinating patchwork of scars, the result of 54 stitches." AAA. of C. Heads Get Together On Olympic. Query London, Ont., Nov. 18.--(CP) -- "Delegates from various parts of Canada sat down to what has been described as a three-day routine .annual -meeting- of the Amateur "Athletic Association of Canada but the fuse for a first-class feud has already been lit. The "routine" business to be dis- cussed today and Friday covers varfjous reports and resolutions. election of officers and decision on "Outstanding-Athlete" awards. The poor showing of Canada's athletes in the Olympic games at London {this summer will be a major topic on the agenda.

Roughians Coach Still Worrying About Filchock Ottawa, Nov. 18--(CP)--You'd think with the betting odds 2-1 in favor of the Rough Riders, Coach Wally Masters would be all mellow with confidence that Riders will down the Hamilton Tigers easily in the Eastern Canada football final Saturday. But he isn't. In a dressing room rally, he told the Riders Wed- nesday night: "This Tiger team is tough. We're going to have to go 60 minutes full out to stay in the ball game. The ds are in favor of the Riders all right but Masters, with his eye to Frankie Filchock's abil- ities as playing-coach, points out some of the things the dopesters may have overlooked: "No matter what any person tells you," he says, "These Hamilton players are sharp, well-drilled and well-coached." He'll get a little farther and pre- dict the Bengals will put on one of their biggest passing displays of the season--and when it comes to passing with Filchock as the tosser, the Bengals already have shown their worth. Lew Hayman, coach of the Mon- treal Alouettes, has said the Riders will win Saturday's tilt by at least two touchdowns. But Coach Masters starts figuring out the Bengals' passing display and then adds up some of the yardage gained by the Hamilton boys in recent games and wonders. For instance, in the final game between: Toronto Beaches-Indians and the Tigers, the Tigers marched to 31 touchdowns, and gained over 500 yards in rushing. The Ottawa Riders have an average of 250 yards gained rushing in the games they've played this fall. Compeau Leads U.S.H.L. Scorers An average of an assist a game and a goal just about as often is keeping Tod Compeau on top in the United States Hockey League's scoring race. Compeau picked up three assists Wednesday night to bring his sea- son total to 16. That's the same number as the games he's played | this year and with 11 goals gives him the league's top total of 27 points. While Compeau was running up his scoring total last night his Dal- las mates weren't so fortunate. Tul- sa Oilers handed them a 5-3 defeat. Dick Butler came through for the winners, scoring twice in the first period and coming through with his third goal in the fina period. Jack Giesbrecht sparked Houston to a 5-3 victory over Fort Worth in the league's only other game. Giesebrecht gave Houston a 2-0 lead midway through the first per- iod with-a pair of goals and Huskies traded goal for goal with the los- ers from that point on. fe COLLEGIATES SUFFER Toronto, Nov. 18 -- (CP) --Minor hockey and basketball are shaping up as the main. sports casualties from Ontario's Hydro shortage. The power cuts have disorganized prac- tice and game times in arenas. High school basketball will suffer unless auxiliary equipment is installed at schogls because most games are A.H.L. HOCKEY "CHIPS Providence Reds, leaders of the eastern division of the American Hockey League , Wednesday night handed New Haven Ramblers their first whitewashing in 108 games. The Ramblers, defeated 6-0, were striving to shatter the Reds' league record of 112 games without being blanked. It was the second straight shutout for goalie Harvey Bennett. St. Louis Flyers, leaders of the western division increased their margin to three points with a 7-2 decision over Washington Lions. Cleveland Barons tallied four times in the second period to whip | Springfield Indians 4-2, Move Into Second Hershey Bears trounced Philadel- phia Rockets 5-3 while Buffalo Bisons tied the idle Pittsburgh Hor- nets for second place in the western division by trimming Indianapolis Capitals 8-3. St. Louis' Paul Gladu and Barry Sullivan each scored twice. John Raynak, Eddie Olson and Norm Tustin were the other St. Louis goal-getters while Len Mut- cheson and Ken Schultz scored the Washington markers. A pair of goals by Ab Demarco and singles by Johnny Black and Church Russell accounted for the Barons' scoring. Paul Courteau and Billy Warwick were the Spring- field Snipers. Scores Another Phil Hergesheimer of the Rockets scored his 220th American League goal while Wally Stefanview and Johnny Hanaffy also found the mark. Hershey goals were by Ar- nold Kullman, Zellio Toppazzini, who got two, Jerry Brown and Silvio Bettio. Murdo McKay accounted for one Buffalo's eight goals, George gar chalked up two counters as George Pargeter, Ken Mackenzie, Lloyd Finkbeiner, Art Lessard and Fred Hunt shared the other points. The three Indianapolis tallies were made in the third stanza by Lee Fogolin, Fred Glover and Pat Lundy, Wins Daily Double On Telegraph Pole * Numbering Hunch Bowie, Md. Nov. 18--(AP)--An elderly woman, one of the 11 persons | at the Bowie Race track who had! a ticket on a $2942.80 daily double | Wednesday offered this free tip on how to pick winning combinations: Watch telephone poles. After pocketing a cheque from the track and admonishing reporters not to use her name "because my husband wouldn't like it," she ex- plained her luck this way: { "I was riding to the track on the train and was wondering what to play in the daily double when, for some unknown reason, I looked out of the window and noticed the num- bers 11 and 8 on one of the tele- phone poles. "I just couldn't get those numbers out of my mind. When I reached the track, I walked to the sellers and asked for 11 and 8." which won the first race and paid $35.80 for $2. No. 8 was St. Elmo, Jr., winner of the second race at a price of $150.80 for $2.

Nov. 17--(CP)--S Sas- katoon is high on the Hilltops-- confident the team will capture the | 1948 Canadian Junior Football | championship, first official playoff | since 1933. The Hilltops meet Hamilton Wild- | cats, Eastern Canada representa- | tives, in a sudden-death final at | Hamilton next Saturday. Carrying 25 players, the club left | here Wednesday morning. Since | walloping the highly-rated Vancou- ver Blue Bombers, unofficial Cana- dian champions last year, 27-0 here | last Saturday, Hilltops held prac- tices Monday and Tuesday nights | and departed without serious in- | juries. Only a second-year club, Hilltops eliminated Winnipeg Rods, 33-13, in | a two-game total-point Western se- mi-final, then went on to whip Van- couver for Saskatoon's first western | junior title in 26 years.

DUKES WIN OVER TIGERS By The Canadian Press Kitchener-Waterloo Flying Dutch- men came to within one point of overtaking the league - leading Hamilton Tigers Wednesday night as they battled to a 2-2 overtime tie against 'Stratford Indians in their Senior Ontario Hockey As- sociation game. While the Dutchmen crowded Tigers 16-point total, the youth- ful Toronto Marlboros downed Hamilton 5-2 to pick up their fifth win in their last eight starts. The Dutchmen, whbt have gar- nered seven wins and a tie in their 12 starts this season, had to over- come a 2-0 deficit in the third period. Billy Flick scored for: Stratford in the first stanza and George Blake counted for Indians in the second period. Sparky Weiler and Don Bauer brought the Dutchmen even in the third. Only one penalty was called, that in- the first period to Weiler. Toronto, trailing 2-0 at the end of the first period, poured in three goals in the second frame and added two more in the last. Brian Robinson counted for Ham- ilton early in the first period, when he beat Howie Harvey on a pass from Polly Miocinovich. Defence- man Carl Smelle added another for Hamilton with one minute left in the frame on Dillon Brady's re- bound shot.
