The Greyhounds h-- chance to catch the Wolves from their second-place vosition. 'tne Hounds announced Tra~d~v w'~%t they have purchased Bob Webster, a 3l-year-old centre, from Syra- cuse Warriors of the American Hockey League. Webster is a Toronto product who belonged to New York Rangers be- fore going to Syracuse. He will start with the Hounds when he gets his reinstatement papers as an amateur.

Brant- ford is three points behind Kitch- ener-Waterloo. Joimny Williams, 143%, New York, Ala. 4, This week there'll be but one game in the Oshawa and Dis- trict Basketball League. There were two scheduled, but the one between Whitby and Port Perry in the former's gym has been postponed by mutual consent . . . which puts the spotlight very directly on the battle of the century, as it were, between the Grads and the Merchants. The Simcoe Hall Grads won both the ODBA and the All- City Tournament champion- ships in 1951 and were natural- 1y given priority to do at least one of the same this year. When the Irish Juniors ceas- ed activity and the Grads pick- ed up three of their top play- ~ ers, the Grads vaulted into a position of odds - on favoritism to take any and all marbles. Then along came the upstart Oshawa Merchants. A seven- man crew of guys who wanted to play ball. They won the All- City Series in a stunning upset and at the present time are tied with the Simcoe Hall Grads atop the ODBA stand- ings with the same number of wins and losses. Both clubs have lost one game in league play . . . each has defeated the other. Tonight's game at Simcoe Hall (8.00 p.m.) between these two goliaths of local league play, represents their first meeting since the - All-City Tourney. The Grads very much want revenge for their loss in the Fabric Town Trophy playoff and tonight will be it . . . they say. Merchant coach Syd Gedge has remained relatively mum on the subject. He's hoping the gang will pull together and play basketball. "That's all we need to do." Coach Bob Patte of the Grads says, "If we play the basket- ball we are capable of . , . we'll win, there's no question of that and a few switches in of- fence and defence may just do the trick." . Which adds up to a real at- traction, wot? vr CHECKLETS -- With the an- nouncement 'Alderman Joe Victor has been made a veep in the Canadian Wheelman's As- sociation, Oshawa puts her face to the forefront again in bike racing circles. Slaughter's Comeback Greatest in 1952 NEW YORK (AP)--Enos Slaugh- ter, St. Louis Cardinals outfielder, made the greatest sports comeback of 18052--but not without a tough battle with the Notre Dame foot- ball team, The 36-year-old Slaughter got the nod over Notre Dame by three points in the annual year-end Associated Press poll. Notre Dame had the most first- place votes, 24 to 23, but the Cardinals' rightfielder . picked up enough second and third-place bal- Jots to edge the Irish, 103 to 100. In 1951, Slaughter was benched for weak hitting. He hit .281, his worst year in the majors. | But Slaughter started 1952 more like the Slaughter of old and fin- ished the season with an even .300. He drove in 101 runs. Notre Dame, usually dominant | in U.S. college football, got off to | a slow start but finished the 1952 | season with the same wos-loss-tied | record as 1951, 7-2-1. Los Angeles Rams football team was third with 59 points. FIGHTS LAST NIGHT By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Tampa, Fla. -- Kid Gavilan, 150, Havana, outpointed Aman Peck, 151, Tampa, 10, non-title.

We hear that the Junior '"B" game played in Bowmanville on Monday was the first of the 'four-point' affairs which Osh- awa and Cobourg will have the honor of participating in for the remainder of the season. Down east scribes have been worried that the Oshawa Bees would get hot once those big: point tussles came along.

King- ston and Belleville are just a little better than the Peterboro team. Remember the Warwicks . . . Grant (Nobby), Bill and Dick? They are all playing for Pen- ticton, B.C. out west. The boys run a restaurant there. A recent photo of Phil Samis,.. ex-General playing with the Montreal Royal Seniors, shows him with another of those niack eyes. Phil always got the best of a fight, but always seemed to stick his right orb in front of a flying fist during the melee. We remember a game against Barrie some seasons ago . . . wow!

Canadiens Dump Biltmores For 2nd Loss Of PQ Tour By THE CANADIAN PRESS * Are Montreal Canadiens the team to beat for the Memorial Cup?

A Three Rivers Reds bowed 7-3 to St. Catharines Teepees at St. Catharines, Coach Jacques Toupin of the Reds bellowed his outrage at official decisions so boisterously that he was ejected from the bench in the first period. Windsor Spitfires' 2-0 victory over Kitchener - Waterloo Green- shirts vaulted them over Guelph and Oshawa into sixth place. Quebec Citadelles tallied four goals in the last period to defeat Montreal Royals 5-3 in a Quebec Junior Amateur Hockey Associa- tion game at Montreal.

He contended the Chicago Sta- dium's 26,000 seats are not enough. The New York-NBA board then took over and called for Norris and Bocchicchio to produce con- tracts at a Friday morning meet. ing here. Norris was nettled over the stumbling block.
