42 THE DAILY YIMES-GAZETTE, Friday, March 27, 1953 HERE ARE MORE CHOICES Veterans Rate Highest As NHL Bestest, Mostest and Fastest Canadian : TORONTO (CP)--Three old pros and a comparative youngster wi a total of 38 years' service in the National Hockey League today re- geived signal honor from sports Fliers pnd sportscasters of the cities. Between them, they hold four titles in a poll conducted by The n Press. They are: Fastest skater: Bill Mosienko of Chicago Black Hawks, a 12-year veteran; Best stickhandler: The ailing Max Bentley of Toronto Maple Leafs who has 11 seasons of big- league play behind him. Most under-rated player: Bob Goldham, Detroit Red Wing de- fenceman with nine years' big- league experience. Bost. two Way player: Red Kelly, Detroit defenceman now in his sixth NHL season. ELEVEN VETERANS The high-flying Mosienko is a 31-year-old Winnipeg-born _right- winger who started pro hockey with Providence 1940. Goldham one year his junior, broke into the money ranks in 1941 and Bentley, who celebrated his 33rd birthday at his Delisle, Sagk., home March 1, went up to Chicago from Saska- toon Quaker seniors 13 years ago. Kelly, 25, has been a mainstay th|on the Red Wing defence since 1947 after graduating from junior ranks with Toronto St. Michael's College. 'Mosienko showed his heels to a field of Seven Bofynated AY he experts. He polle votes, than veteran Milt Schmidt of Bos- ton Bruins and 15 up on Fleming Mackell of the Bruins, Eddie Kull- man and Wally Hergesheimer, New York Rangers, and Marcel Prono- vost of the Wings. One selector, Joe Falls of The Associated Press, Detroit, saw it this way: Howie Meeker of Toronto Maple Leafs is the fastest during his "first minute on the ice' and Johnny Wilson of the Wings is the fleetest "for the whole game." EASY FOR BENTLEY Bentley had an easy time win- ning his title but Kelly and Gold- ham squeezed to the top over a big field by single-vote margins. ntley, dipsy-doodle centre, polled nine votes, six more than Elmer Lach of Montreal Canadiens and Gordie Howe of Detroit, tied for the runner-up spot with three each, Single votes went-to Kelly, Alex Delvecchio and Ted Lindsay, all of the Wings; Schmidt and team- mates Joe Klukay and Mackell; Johnny McCormack of Montreal ad, Chicago's playing-coach Sid Abel. Howe, already chosen as the greatest player in the league, the most improved player over the last five seasons, lost out by a whisker to Kelly in the "best two- way player" balloting. He polled seven votes, just one less than the redhead, and two up on Schmidt. Ted Kennedy of Toronto, out of action with an injury since New Year's Day, caught the eyes of two selectors and singles went to Lach, Harry Watson of the Leafs and Tony Leswick, another Red Wing. - Fifteen players, representing every team in the league, received "most under-rated player' votes, and the width of a skate separa- ted them. Goldham polled three, one up on Klukay; Marty Pave- lich, Detroit; Al Rollins, Chicago; Nick Mickoski, New York, and Bobby Hassard, Leaf rookie. Single votes went to: Tom John- son and Butch Bouchard, Mont- real; Kullman; Gus Bodnar, Chi- cago; Bill Quackenbush, Hal Lay- coe and Mackell, Boston, and Jim Thomson, Toronto.

(AP)--Chicago White Sox are a hot looking ball club and are being driven with a grim intensity by their manager, Paul Richards, in the waning days of the western exhibition season. Give them a little pitching and they are going to be hard to head off this time. They are in terrific condition from their preliminary training, The veteran Vern Ste- phens, for example, says he is a dozen pounds lighter than he has been for years and claims he will "play all of 'em" at third-base. Somehow, Richards has infused his club with a terrific winning spirit. This team believes it can beat both New York Yankees and Cleveland Indians to the wire, The big excitement at the mo- ment centres around a rookie catcher, Bob (Red) Wilson, who was voted the most valuable foot- ball player in the western confer- ence in 1950, when he was centre and linebacker for Wisconsin. Two weeks ago Richards didn't mention Wilson in discussing his team. Since then the big fellow, who was at Seattle last year, has gone wild with the bat and has more or less astonished Richards with his work behind the 'plate. Now Richards say guardedly that he has "high hopes" for him. Another who has caught fire is Rocco Krsnich, an infielder who joined the Sox from Seattle late last season. He also has been hit- ting above expectations, especially with men on base, and there is no certainty at all in some minds that he won't play about as much third-base as Stephens does. He is much the better fielder of the two. The cure of shortstop Chico Car- rasquel--whatever it was that ailed him last year--appears to be com- plete. Again the big Venezuelan is making plays no other shortstop in the game today could make, and he is clouting the ball, OMHA Bantam Lose To Receive Trophy TORONTO (CP)--Jack Christie, secretary of the Ontario Minor ockey Association, announced Thursday night that the loser of the OMHA bantam B finals will receive a trophy. The teams in- volved, Newmarket Smoke Rings and Goderich Lions, have already played a two-game, total-point ser- ies but both games were tied 3-3 and 4-4 total -point Another two - game, series was scheduled and the first game, of the second series ended in a 2-2 deadlock after 40-minutes of overtime. The second game is scheduled for Goderich Saturday with the winner receiving the A. A. Morrison Trophy. The series was so close that the OMHA decided to award a trophy to the losers. Three Ontario Rinks In Caledonian Semis MONTREAL (CP)--Three On- tario teams and one from Mont- real reached the semi-finals in Royal Caledonian curling compe- tion Thursday night.

IS THERE A PENALTY ON 9-1 SHOT Little Yid Becomes Favorite In 107th Grand National By STERLING SLAPPEY AINTREE, Eng. (AP)--An 11- year-old dark horse named Little Yid emerged today as the 9-to-1 betting favorite for the wide-open 107th running of the Grand Na- tional steeplechase Saturday. The probable field for the peril- ridden cavalry charge of four miles and 856 yards over 30 murderous fences was cut to 37 with the an- nouncement that Stormhead was a doubtful starter and Shock Tac- tics. Roman Fire and Just Joe were scratched. A mysterious flood of money |to find poured in on Little Yid at the next to last callover of odds by London bookmakers Thursday night. The final callover--a private affair where the bookmakers attempt to balance their books--will be staged tonight. The Irish hot shot, Early Mist, which* had been the favorite at 100 to 9 drifted out to 100 to 7. So did Lucky Dome, another Irish hope which had been second choice at 100 to 8. Glen Fire, a slow but steady jumper, also found strong support and finished up as a 100-to-8 sec- ond choice to Little Yid. The cause of the enthusiasm for Little Yid and Glen Fire was hard ind. Little Yid has run only twice over any portion of the course, He was beaten in the Topham Trophy MUST HAVE A PERMIT Forest Fire Prevention Act Becomes Effective April lst TORONTO -- On April 1st, the vention Act of Ontario will become effective. From that date until Oc- tober 31 next, 173,241 square miles of Ontario's forest lands will come under the protective custody of the Province's forest protection serv- ice, 4 division of the Department of Lands and Forests. From that date, woods opera- tors, settlers, farmers and all oth- er citizens in the fire district will require fire permits before burn- ing slash, brush or other waste materials. As snows recede and fire hazard conditions mount, the cigarettes, and lunch fires in the bush, will be prohibited by woods operators and voluntarily discon- tinued by all other common sense forest workers, early cottagers, campers and sportsmen. Major forest fire conditions, ac- cording to Forest Protection Chief, E. Mackey, build up to eriod T. E. Mackey, build up to peak periods each Spring and Fall, Spring hazards develop gradually from south to north as the" snows melt away and the sun dries out last year's dead grass and leaves. These hazard conditions remain most seribus until new green blanket the old dead forest litter. But the pattern is .never the same from year to year. Some years are worse than others yet there is no true time cycle to fol- low. Last year the S,ring hazard was comparatively light. The com- ing Spring season is being looked upon with some trepidation. Statis- tics compiled by the Department's forest protection supervisor in an attempt to determine probable Spring hazard developments point to early fire hazard conditions this year starting in Southern Ontario where there has been little or no snow to speak of and creeping northward. use of matches and "tailor-made" | 1ands In addition, during discussions | forecaster, the following facts were | noted: | 1. There is very little snow on| the ground in the Prairie Prov-| inces; 2. There is very little ice | on the Great Lakes; 3. There has | been a comparatively mild winter | season throughout canada and there is very little frost in the | ground. { All in all, there is every indica- | tion that we are in for an excep- | tionally early Spring break up-- | all factors point to a probable] early Spring forest fire hazard, | and Forest officials con- clude. It is important that all who go into the forests for work or re- creational purposes note this fore- cast and plan and act accordingly.

In his last three races on easier courses Little Yid was fourth, third and se . Glen Fire fell early in the run- ning of the 1951 Grand National and refused to jump a fence in the easier Grand Sefton chase here last year. In Little Yid's favor, he at least has a rider who knows how to get around the Aintree jumps--Jimmy Power who won the race on Free- booter in 1950. Most connoisseurs of the leapers say this is the cheapest field for the world's blue ribbon chasing event in many a year. The winter book favorites were Teal, last year's winner; Legal Joy, which finished second, and Wot No Sun, third last year and second in 1950. Two weeks ago Teal, a short- priced favorite, ruptured a bowel in a tuneup race and later died. Legal Joy and Wot No Sun went sour in training and had to be scratched. So did Royal Tan, an Irish entry which fell at the last fence last year while running provisions of the Forest Fire Pre- | with the provincial meterorological | third. That turned this '10-minute ride {through hell" into anybody's race. The passing of the favorites left only Mont Tremblant as a mount with known and acknowledged class. But Mont Tremblant never has bucked the Aintree fences. Furthermore, he will carry 173 pounds, and that's a load. Time has proved that becoming the favorite and winning the Grand | Nationa] are vastly different pro- positions, In the last 26 years only two favorites have won--Sprig in 1927 and Freebooter in 1950. About 250,000 fans are expected to be here at post time 3:15 p. m., (10:15 a. 'm. EST). The winning horse will receive £9,808 ($27,456.20). Second is worth £1,154 and third £55.
