WHITBY SPORTS SPOTLIGHT By WREN A. BLAIR rently trying hard to secure a berth with the Cleve- land Barons of the American Hockey League . Jack Costello, last year of the St. Michael's College Juniors, has signed with Windsor Bulldogs. He joins brother Murray, who was with Detroit of the NHL for some time. Costello (Jack) played one game with Kitchener against the Dunlops last year in the play- offs . . . Latest report out of the Boston Bruin train- ing camp is that Charlie Burns, who needs no intro- duction, looks very impressive. Coach Milt Schmidt WITH GERRY BLAIR PINCH-HITTING Yesterday afternoon we visited the Whitby arena to see how the ice-making was coming along, and we were very pleased to find that they were progressing very satisfactorily with about one inch or more al- ready laid, While we were there we sauntered down to the Whitby Dunlops dressing room and came across' a very hard working gentleman, the beloved trainer says he has a good chance of staying with the Bruins ... The new OHA Senior "A" schedule should be te- leased in a couple of days. A meeting was held last Friday night in Toronto to finalize it. After the meet- ing, manager-coach John Horeck of the Chatham Maroons, told local officials that he expected a battle between the Whitby Dunlops and the Maroons for the league leadership, with the Chatham club likely to finish a bit ahead of Whitby. lke Hildebrand, of the MacFarlands was amazed at Horeck counting Belle- THE OSHAWA TIMES, Tuesday, September 22, 1959 A Montreal man who won a dismissal wher a charge under the Liquor Control Act failed be. cause the "liquor" was apple juice, won another dismissal on Monday, when charged with vio- lating the town's peddler's li- cence bylaw, when the Crown failed to prove he had no licence. Charged was Rolland Rozon, 40, who was represented by George Boychvn, of Oshawa. On Aug. 25, Rozon and Ray- mond Beaudetle, also tral, appeared of Mon- in Magistrate's Wins Acquittal On By-Law Count cases and five bottles, labelled champagne, had been seized. The pair were locked up until Tuesday when that charge was dismissed. He said that they admitted sell ing the stuff ai garages in Whit- y. Defence counsel Boychyn -ask- ed for a dismissal on the grounds that the Crown had failed to prove that the pair had no li- cence to peddle. His Worship concurred that the Crown had failed to prove its case. > Court charged with keeping or exposing liquor for sale. Police at that time udvised the court the pair had been selling a type of champagne at local garages but an analysis of the champagne indicated it had no alcoholic con- tent. The case at that time was of the Dunlops, Stan Waylett. He was busily un- packing about 800 lbs. of hockey gear, such as shin guards, shoulder pads, pants, sweaters, socks and oth- er incidentals. With just a little over a week left be- fore the opening of camp, Saturday, Sept. 26, Stan ville out. Ike was willing to bet that no matter where Chatham finished, they would still be behind Belle- ville. Most operators feel the league appears to be very strong, and that the various clubs in the league should worry about not finishing 5th (which would leave them out of the league play-offs) and hope for Mr. Boychyn asked that the "exhibits" be returned. : "We don't want it, Your Wor ship," said Chief George Rankine. 4 FIVE G Five generations, including three Whitby persons, are shown in the photo above.

WHITBY And DISTRICT Over 70 Cases Listed In Whitby Traffic Court More than 70 cases were list- ed on Whitby"s traffic court docket for Monday, before Mag- istrate Crawford Guest. Before the session was completed, less than a dozen were heard, the majority being adjourned to later dates. Following are the traffic cases heard. Phillip Armstrong, of 301 Maple street east, won an acquittal on a careless driving' count when he told the court he had swerved out fo miss an oncoming car and col- fided with a parked car. A police eonstable said he had been told dy Armstrong that he had been groping for a bottle of milk at his feet when the accident occurred. | PC Kenneth Edwards. of the Whitby Police Department, said that he had investigated an acci- dent at 316 Chestunt street east, on the morning of July 13 and Jjound a parked car, owned by Gerald Matthews, of that "ad- dress, with one side caved in. He said that he spoke to Arm- strong and had been told that accused was proceeding along Chestnut street and a bottle of milk, he was taking with him for lunch, tipped. He said that Arm- strong told him that while he was searching for the milk, his car collided with Matthews' park- . ed vehicle, Armstrong said that he had been meeting an oncoming car and a dog had run out from the rear of this car. At first, he said, he thought it was a child and swerved to avoid hitting it. Then, he said, he had struck the side of the parked car. SPEEDING FINE Robert Joseph Ownes, of 638 Park road south, Oshawa, was fined $25 and costs or 10 days when he pleaded guilty to a charge of speeding. Fined $10 and costs or five days for careless driving was John Isinga, 30, of 101 Craydon road. Miss Beverley Garside, of Brock street, Ajax, told the co that she had stopped near Cray- don road and Dundas street on the morning of Sept. 9 to pick up a passenger when she was warn. ed that a car was backing to- wards her vehicle. She said she rt Sgt. Partington later struck the rear. of her car. | Mrs. Joan Nicholson, of Coch- rane street, said she was a pas- senger in the Garside vehicle and noticed a car backing from a parking lot towards their parked car. She said she shouted and the driver sounded the horn but the collision occurred. She said that the rear window of the car {was covered with steam. Sgt. Clifford Partington, of the Whitby Police Department, said that he had investigated and found that the car had backed| out of a lot over a sidewalk, not through an ordinary driveway. He also said the rear window of the accused's car was fogged. Both accused and his wife told |the court that they had looked tojclocked at 70 on the wrong side backing out of of the street, the rear before the parking lot. Both maintained| that there was no car parked been drinking and said that he the was where Garside car struck. IN DITCH TWICE i A youth with a beginner's per- mit, John E, Martin, of 908 Byron street north, was fined $35 and costs for careless driving and His Worship recommended that he be not granted a licence to drive for one year after police told of fol- lowing him while his car entered, the ditch on two different occa- sions. PC Ernest Stoneman, of the Whitby Police Department, said that he, had been on patrol with Sgt. Clifford Partington on the night of June 27 when he saw a, car make a sharp left turn to the Vigor Oil parking lot at the inter- section of Brock and Chestnut streets. He said that the car shot out from the lot, across Brock street into the west ditch. hen, he sajd, it followed the ditch for 40 feet, came back on the street and proceeded north. | He said that it turned left on Starr, then right again on Byron street, hitting the ditch again, be- fore turning into a driveway When he arrived, he said, it was to find the car vacant but found ac- cused hiding in a hedge at the house. Sgt. Partington corroborated PC Stoneman's evidence, He said he had found accused hiding in the grass under an apple tree in An Oshawa man, who, police said, sped through Whitby at 70 mph, was fined $75 and costs for careless driving. He is William Haggerty, 22, of 257 Ritson road south. PC Kenneth Edwards, of the Whitby Police Department, saidl that he had been stopped by PC Ernest Stoneman at the four cor- ners in Whitby at 1.30 a.m. Sept. 5 and had watched a car take off for the south at a great rate of speed. He said that he clocked him for some blocks at 70 mph while driving on the northbound lane of | the street. PC Stoneman also told the court that accused had been Accused denied that he had had been treated by the dentist that day. In addition to the fine, his licence was suspended for three months. LATE FOR WORK A Whitby man who admitted he was late for work just prior to an accident on Euclid at John street, was fined $35 and costs for careless driving. Raymond Candler, of 300 High street, said he was late but claimed that he was in no hurry to get there. John Green, a Whitby cab driver, said he had been driving south on Euclid street, on the afternoon of Aug. 21. At John street, he said, he noticed a.fel- low cab stopped for the inter- section. Then, he said, he heard a bang and he was in the ditch. He said that the accused, driver of the other car, told him he was late for work and in a hurry. Sgt. Clifford Partington said that he found 27-foot long skid marks leading to the accident scene from John street. He said that the point of impact had been from one foot to one foot and one- half on Euclid street. | Accused told the court that he had been held on the wrong side of the street for one block by the taxi which Green had ob- served stopped at the inter- section. He said that in an at-| tempt to get past it to his own side of the street, he had skid- will be an extremely busy man, Players' skates have to be sharpened, their equipment has to be sorted and hung in their respective places, and room made for the prospective players coming into camp. Some 25 or 30 hockey players will make their way to the arena, to battle for positions on the club under the watchful eye of the Dunnies new playing-coach, Ted O'Connor. Manager Wren Blair has told us any times how for= tunate he is to have a man of Stan's ability to handle the training duties for the club. It is very satisfying to him to know that things are being looked after very capably by Stan. There were two more members of the defending Allan Cup Champions signed just recently and the first of which was Long John Henderson, an outs- tanding goaltender, who last year, had a very success- ful season for the Dunlops. John is once again looking forward to another good year, and we feel very sure that he will. Last year he was voted the number one goaltender in both of the OHA Senior leagues, win- ning the David Pinkney trophy. Most hockey fans pro- bably still remember John's very impressive debut in which he shutout the Belleville MacFarlands 4-0. It certainly was a tremendous way to start off relations with his new hockey fans, The other member of the Whitby Dunlops to sign was team captain, Harry Sinden, one of the most outstanding defencemen in amateur hockey today. Harry has been with the club right from its origin with the exception of the first year. He has been one of the most sought after, de- fencemen in the country by professional clubs, hav- ing turned down three or four very attractive offers, mainly because he loves the game, anc is quite con- tent to hold on to a good job, and take less hockey pay than he would definitely receive in pro hockey. This certainly holds true for many a member of this fine hockey club. Their first interest is the game it- self, then comes the financial end of it, other amateur clubs haven't been quite so fortunate to have a ros- ter of this kind, Harry plays on defence with Alf Treen, and together they form a very potent combina- tion. This is his third term as captain of the Whitby Dunlops. TOWN AND COUNTRY . . . Kitchener-Waterloo Dutchmen, Canada's representatives in the forthcoming Olympics at Squaw Valley, who have the right to ob- tain a player from any amateur club in the country, providing they pay the club involved $500, have ap- proached Whitby Dunlop player Billy Kennedy, Ken- nedy played one game with the Dunnies in the play- offs last year, and is still under contract with them. He is currently at the New York Rangers training camp, but will probably be here in time for the Dunlops opening . . . The recent trade between the Chatham Maroons and the Windsor Bulldogs of the OHA Senior "A" involving Don Head of Chat- ham and Lou Bendo of the Bulldogs may fall through as Bendo refuses to report to Chatham . . . Belleville MacFarlands have signed three of last years Kingston Merchants, Billy Colvin, Ted Toppazini, and Bus Gag- non. Things are mighty touch and go between the club officials and the players due to the new "deal." The players were asked to take a healthy cut in pay « « + The first pre-season game for the Whitby Dun- lops will take place in Stouffville on October 9, with the K-W Dutchmen, The first probable home action for the locals will be October 21, against the Clinton Comets, which is a rematch for the two clubs when the Dunlops edged the Comets 4-2 last year about this time. The Clinton club open their camp about 10 or 12 days after the Dunnies, in Whitby also . , . Ray Miron, former manager for the Cornwall Chevvies has accepted the position of general manager with the Washington Presidents of the Eastern League, home of the Clinton Comets too . . . Minnie Menard, a left wing member of the Belleville MacFarlands is cur- a finish in the top four spots, which are eligible for play-offs. Another item discussed at the meeting was the increasing of the admission about 10 per cent which was readily agreed upon.
