monday t ah professionals except kids in schools says government member there are only two sets of athletes today kids in school who are amateur and the others who are professional said h l wal ters ccp torontobracondale member in the ontario house dur ing last weeks discussion on the possibility of collecting more amusement tax from sporting events according to the oha rule book players may receive remuneration and remain amateur so long as they receive it at the end of the season more or less as a dona tion and are not paid a stipulated weekly salary players in junior a hockey ranks who do receive a set weekly wage are referred to by oha officials as professional junior the subject came up when robt thornberry ccf hamilton cen tre noted that an amendment to the athletics control act up for second reading contained an provi sion for taxing athletic events supposedly amateur but actually professional x some people were promoting sports under the amateur label for their own aggrandizement he said the treasury department was en titled to the taxand might use it to promote legitimate amateur sport the provinces amusement goes to the hospitals aid fund the sports he had in mind mr group title without a loss halfway through the period mark ham opened the scoring they pushed in another before the frame ended and were ahead 20 to begin the second stanza through a rough period which seemed to suit the clippers mark ham sat back and waited it out the clippers scored their only goal of the game and thus had a 21 count going into the last period twas then that the markham form showed through and with two more goals they pushed the game in the refrigerator in the same motion they almost salted away the finals george scott opened the scoring in the game when his slow low shot got past a stouffville defence who was completely blocking goalie harpers feet before he got around to moving to prove that it wasnt all going to be flukes the markham squad blasted into a 20 lead in the late moments of the period when ron nie bel coasted in on passes from singleton and perry and caught harper waving his hands with a chesthigh drive stouflville came back in the sec ond frame weathering a storm of highsticks and body checks and best front line of hopper drum- mond and sayliss turned on a power attack that held markham in check for all the time that trio were on the ice this pressure told in the only goal for stouffville a clever passing play drummond shoving the rubber to hopper for the goal lots of rough stuff in the form of five penalties and more clipping and clouting that missed the ref erees watchful eyes failed to slow the stouffville attack but inaccur ate passing resulted in ineffective work close to the enemy net and they came out of the period with a 21 score a bad pass on a power play by stouffville in the opening minutes of the last frame saw brennan flip over to beli to move him into a breakaway brennan moved in with bell and the latter using his wing as a decoy tossed in the rub ber for a 31 count four minutes later sluce worked for the puck behind the clippers net and catching a piece of it sent the rubber bounding out in front it hit roses leg and rolled back into the net for the second soft goal- it counted in the statistics though and made the count 41 thats the way it ended bell line as they wrapped in four successive goals behind harper three of them coming only seconds apart singleton fired the hat trick while bell counted the other marker with their backs to the wall and facing elimination the clippers fought back in the final frame led by gord lewis with two goals to tie up the game and give new hope to heir supporters at 825 of the third jewitt blinked the fatal light from watson which spelled defeat for the blueshirts and victory for the boys in green it would be unfair to pick out any sensational star from either team since the boys put everything they had into the contest and both teams deserve credit for a clean well played series the defeat was certainly no fault of harpers as he turned in a brilliant display in the last game les clarke looked good on defence and drummond worked hard up front with the rest of the boys of course the big line of brennan bell and singleton were the sharp shooters for markham with four goals clippers split twogame iseries in clinton ny a legweary stouffville
