BLAIR WITH GERRY BLAIR PINCH-HITTING The Whitby Dunlops opened their 1959-60 trai.- ing camp last Saturday with 28 players reporting, mak- ing it the largest turnout in the hockey club's history. Club officials will have a tough time trying to make the right decision as to who to keep. Most impressive of the newcomers is Billy Kennedy, who was with the Dunnies for a brife stint last year. Kennedy is a very strong skater, and can handle a puck very well, and on a big ice service, he will be really hard to stop. Billy is playing on a line for the present time with Dunc Brodie and Gordie Myles, and this trio are looking very effective. Last night they held a lengthy scrim- mage, and most of the players worked very hard, with a few of them handing out soe stiff checks, Three or four of the newcomers to camp, webe out last night, leaving the club with about five lines. Bobby Atters- ley is centering Fred Etcher at left wing, and George Samolenko on right wing. As we mentioned before, Kennedy is between Gordie Myles on left, and Dune Brodie on right. Other combinations find, Gary Darl- ing, last year with the Peterboro Petes, between, Jack Kane on left and Tommy O'Connor-er' ight, Bobby Hassard, centering Pete Babando and Sandy Air, and Whitey Youngberg, between local product Art Ren- nick on left wing and Eric Pogue on right wing. Hockey fans in the Oshawa area will be quite fami- liar with Eric Pogue, who was one of the most color- ful performers with the Oshawa Generals a few years back, Tim Hook is alternating with the forwards, but --Oshawa Times Photo | WHITBY And DISTRICT Mail Delivery Begins Here By Month's End Whitby residents can expecticent of the homes gin in the town by the end of|then October.

Manager Wren Blair is very happy with the re- turn of one of last year's most promising younger players, Jack Kane, who has been working out with the Springfield Indians of the American Hockey I gue. Jack was offered a very attractive contract, but turned it down, wanting to return here again with the Dunnies. He was very happy here last year, and is looking forward to another banner season. Jack is just one of many hockey players who are not too img: ed with the life of a professional athlete, being con- tent to work at a good job along with his hockey pay, makes it a reasonably profitable career. Jack played in several exhibition games with Springfield, and in the game with Buffalo he picked up two assists. He also played against the Chicago Black Hawks. The spirit which the Whitby Dunlops hockey club possess- es, helps to entice many a good player to try for a position on the team, Most hockey fans will agree that it takes a considerable amount of spirit to come up with a winner. That is very evident in the case of this club when they have acquired four straight championships. In the first paragraph we mentioned the forward combinations, we would be very remiss if we didn't include .he work of last year's veterans on defence. Harry Sinden and Alf Treen are paired together, Harry is passing with the same precision he is noted for, while Alf is throwing his weight around very effectively as has been the case in recent years, Playing-coach Ted O'Connor and Don McBeth form another pair, McBeth looks very good for so early in the season, handing out some real stiff checks, and also potting # couple of goals in scrimmage. It's still a treat to watch "Oke" carry the puck out of his own end with such perfection as he capably does. The other combination on defence is Ted Szydlowski, drafted from the Cornwall Chevies and John Chasc- zewski from last year's club. In goal is veteran John Henderson, and certainly not a new comer to these parts, Phil Burkhart, TOWN AND COUNTRY ... Subscribers seats go were present.

As a special note of interest we might add that holders of subscrib- ers seats will have first choice to the best seats in the Gardens in Toronto, for the coming attraction in mid-January between the Russian National hockey team and the Whitby Dunlops, prior to the Olympics in Squaw Valley . The Kitchener-Waterloo Dutch= men of the OHA Senior "A", Canada's representatives at the Olympics, opened their training camp on Sun- day. Six newcomers were on hand, they included Mike Elik drafted from Chatham, furmerly a teammate of Brodie and Kennedy of Varsity. Also in camp are Darryl Sly, last year with St, Mikes of the Junior OHA, two U.S. College players, Wayne Klinck from Denver University, and Pat Prestley from St. Law- rence, N.Y, College. Klinck was formerly with the Regina Pats of Western Junior league, and Prestley, at one-time played with St. Mikes. The other two are draftees from the Cornwall Chevies, Don Labelle and Ron Muir. The Dutchies first exhibition contest will be with the Buffalo Bisons of the AHL this Sat- urday in Elmira , . . The first game of the post-sea- son play-offs in the National . Baseball League was held at Milwaukee yesterday and the Los Angeles Dodgers emerged as the victors 3-2, by virtue of Roseboro's homer in the sixth and some very effective hurling on the part of reliefer Larry Sherry. This certainly gives L.A. the edge, being one up and re- turning tor their back yard for the remainder of the best of three series. The winner will take on the Chicago White Sox for the world championship, which depending on the outcome of the present series will open in Chicago on Thursday or Friday of this week in Chicago, with the White Sox the probable favor- ites, on the strength of their defence , . , The Toronto Argonauts launched Steve Owen's coaching career off on the right foot with a 39-9 victory over the Als from Montreal last Saturday in Toronto, Al Dorow, recently of the British Columbia Lions of the WIFU, was very impressive, scoring one touchdown and pass- ing for three others.
