@ THE OSHAWA, TIMES, Thursday, May 11, 1967 SPORTS BEAT By Eric Wesslby Times Sports Editor 'QUITE A FEW hockey names will be in evidence at Tuesday's Centennial Sports Gelebrities Dinner at Oshawa Civic Auditorium, including several members of the Stan- ley Cup winning Toronto Maple Leafs. Already in for sure are Jim Pappin and Bddie Shack, and trainer Bob Haggard might also be on hand. Dave Keon, outstand- ing performer in the Stanley Cup playoffs, is another who might be in attendance. This ld well be one of Shack's al appearances as a Leaf because if he's left off the protected list, for the expan- $ion draft, some other club is bound to grab him. OTHER NAMES, while maybe not quite as familiar fo younger hockey fans as those above, will bring back Many a pleasant memory for Qshawa's sporting fraternity. Fellows such as Phil Samis, Kenny Smith, Harvey Ben- fiett, Chuch Scherza, Floyd Curry, Billy Taylor and Bob- by Orr. If you had to start a new National Hockey League With this group in their prime you'd be a contender for the Stanley Cup first time around, especially if. you could add Bill Durnan, Murph Cham- Jain and Bucko Mac- Donald. * TERRY KELLY, who vies with Wren Blair as the busi- @st sportsman in the city, says that tickets are avail- able for the dinner, which will pay tribute to the time and éffort Matt Leyden has put into sport, not only in Osh- a@wa but throughout Ontario. Matt was one of the most Popular presidents the On- tario Hockey Association ever Bad and he's winding up his two years' service in that ¢apacity by representing the @HA at the Memorial Cup final at the Lakehead. ma PETERBOROUGH PETES' hockey club have ordered four tickets for the dinner, and if you're a betting man, try this one on for size. To- ronto Marlboro manager Jim Gregory phoned from Fort William Wednesday to order eight tickets. Guess he figures the series against Port Arthur Marrs won't be lasting too long. Right now it looks as if Marlboros will wind it up in four games, five at the most. UNDERSTAND AT least two OHA Junior "A" teams will be sporting new sweaters next season. Peterborough is supposed to adopt maroon and white while London will switch to orange, black and white. Ottawa will be red, black and white. Still think Generals should go back to their old sweater style. With all clubs sporting different sweaters, fans wouldn't think they were seeing the same teams so often. Last year, Marlboros and London sport- ed Toronto Maple Leaf-style sweaters, Montreal Junior Canadiens and Peterborough wore similar sweaters while Generals and Niagara Falls were similar in their white outfits, although Niagara Falls' gold sweaters were sharper than Generals' black outfits. A FEW surprises yesterday |Port Arthur 'Must Stop Acomb Line FORT WILLIAM (CP)--Port '|Arthur Marrs must devise some way to stop Toronto Marlboros {Doug Acomb, Terry Caffery and Gerry Meehan if they expect to slow down the Eastern cham- pions tonight in the third game of the Memorial Cup junior hockey final. Acomb, Caffery and Meehan accounted for most of the Mar- lies' scoring in the first two games of the best-of-seven af- fair. The Marlies beat Port Arthur 6-3 Sunday and regis- tered an 8-4 victory in the sec- ond game Tuesday. Acomb leads in scoring with seven points on five goals and two assists and Caffery has six points, including four assists. Meehan is tied: for third with teammate Tom Martin, each with four points. Both teams held full workouts Wednesday in preparation for the third game. STILL IMPORTANT Before the second game Coach Ab Cava of Port Arthur referred to it as an important one. He said Wednesday that if that one was important the next is "super important--I think we can still win this if we can get this third game." Cava did not have any changes planned but if he does| decide until game time. Marlboro coach Gus Bodnar plans to go with the crew he "ljused in the first two games. After Wednesday's practice, he said: 'Our guys are coming around to their potential. We're starting to play the hockey we're capable of." as major league b clubs cut their playing ros- ters to 25 .Boston's sending Russ Gibson to Pittsfield probably won't sit too well with Toronto brass, who had hoped to pry big Tony Horton loose. But the injury to George Thomas meant the Red Sox had to keep Horton around for-his bat, while Gib- son was one of three catch- ers. Baltimore's Mike Epstein is balking at being sent to Rochester, and Orioles might be forced to trade him for a pitcher.

The big Atlanta catcher slimmed down over the winter to around 205 pounds, about 10 below the weight he carried when he rose to National League stardom. With, three homers in the Braves' doubleheader split with the Phillies Wednesday, Torre showed that the streamlining had not hurt him a bit.

Radatz. Ken Henderson and By GORDON GRANT MONTREAL (C) Eight days and 4,500 miles after it started, a winner was decided in the Centennial 4,000 rally Wednesday--but the final stand- ings were in doubt until the end, With the final results tabu- lated Roger Clark of London, Eng., and Jim Peters of Tor- / # |onto, in a Lotus Cortina, placed first with a total of 44 points. For the first six days of the event, Paul MacLennan of Tor- 4\onto and John Wilson of Water- loo, Ont., were leaders but when they faltered Clark and Peters jumped into the lead and stayed there. MacLennan and Wilson, last year's winners, slipped into fourth place with 329 points after running into trouble on Ontario roads. They had sailed through British Columbia and the Prairies with only two pen- alties. Clark, a 27-year-old profes- sional rallyist, was elated and celebrated by dancing into the early hours of today at a rally party. This was the first time Clark and Peters had worked as a team and the first time in the event's seven-year history that a non-Canadian had won. It also was Clark's first world championship win. The Cer\ n- nial 4,000, sponsored by Shell Canada Ltd., is one of five ral- lies which make up the world champi hip for factur- ers teams. "I'm glad to be here and in first place,' said Clark. 'The rally was boring during the run through the Prairies, but in On- tario and Quebec it was some- thing of a challenge." Scott Harvey of Dearborn, Mich., and Mike Kerry of Tor- onto took their Chrysler-spon- sored Barracuda into second place with 133 points. This crew, which finished fourth last year, also put on a late drive to slip into second. 'For most of the rally they were in the bottom half of the top 10, but came on strongly over the rough roads of Northern Ontario. Going into Wednesday's run they were third, but moved to second when Karl Schulz and John Manson of Toronto rolled their car and lost heavily. They finished third in their Datsun with 170 points. The Schulz - Manson entry broke a seal on their alternator and were penalized 50 points and lost another 10 for having dents in the roof of their car. Marcel Rainville' of Quebec City and Robin Edwards of Montreal took fifth place in their Citroen with 346 points. Another Citroen was sixth and jwon the mixed-crew section of the rally. Jean - Claude Ogier and Lucette Pointet of Gren- oble, France, had 387 points. The long grind from Vancou- ver took a stiff toll of cars with only 43 of an initial field of 93 making it to the Auto- stade at Expo 67. Clark's Lotus Cortina was the first to arrive at the 25,000-seat Expo stadium, but only about 400 persons were on hand to greet him in the rain. On the journey across Canada Maple Leafs By THE CANADIAN PRESS After a dismal start Toronto Maple Leafs have suddenly started hitting when it counts and are threatening contenders in the International League. Last in the eight-team league until this week, the defending champion Leafs climbed into fifth place Wednesday night with a doubleheader sweep of Jacksonville Suns, 1-0 and 6-3. In other games, Buffalo Bi- sons dropped Richmond Braves 20, Rochester Red Wings drubbed Toledo Mud Hens 5-2 Syracuse Chiefs 7-0. and Columbus Jets vegan sta On Track Following Dismal Start inning and Steve Boros homered in the second for Buffalo. Rochester registered its fifth tage of three Toledo errors for four unearned runs in the sey- enth inning. Bob Robertson, 20 - year - old rookie third baseman broke out of a hitting slump to lead Co- lumbus with a home run, double and single in support of John Gelnar's six-hit pitching. Robertson accounted for four of the Jets' runs, driving in one with a double, two with his homer and then scored himself. Joe Christopher clubbed a | Clark, Peters Win Centennial Rally the rallyists ran into mud, snow, ice, rain and sunshine. Winners in the private entry section were Fritz Hochreuter and Lutz Ecker of Toronto, in a Volkswagen 1500 with 633 points. Rosemary Smith of Dublin and Ann Coombe of Toronto won the Coupe des Dames in a Sun- beam Imp for the second year in a row. Miss Smith arrived at the fin- ish line resplendent in a pink driving outfit and posed for pho- tographs. About two hours ear- lier she was grimy from the long ride from Kingston, Ont., but stopped at a gas station to change in order to look her best at the finish.
