THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES. WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 28, 1927 PAGE | 0. H. A. INTERMEDIATE RACE STARTS TONIGHT-DETROIT 4, RAVINAS Port Hoper: to Use Two Cobourg Players Tonight Victor of Tonight's Tussle Will Have Big Edge -- Tough Argument--Group Schedule to Be Revised at Meeting to Be Held Im- mediately After Game Everybody is going. Where? To the hockey game tonight at Brad- ley's Rink between Oshawa and Port Ho Intermediates. The game marks the opening of the lo- cal intermediate Ontario Hockey Association schedule and the team that wina tonight's game will have a big buldge on the series. The contest is billed to start at 8:15 o'clock sharp. % With Peterboro out of the sched- ule there are but two other teams left--Bowmanville and Port Hope All three teams are reported to be stronger than they were last year thus the team that wins the local grouping will be capable of going quite a distance onto the O. H. A play.offs, While Oshawa is without the ser- vices of Harry Lott, who is now ¢ substitute member of the Detroit Olympias in the Canpro Profession- al circuit, the locals have a young player who with a little more ex- perience will ably fill the hole left by the departure of Lott, That player is "Flash" Joyce, last year with the Shamrock Juniors. Over in Peterboro the other night he went like a house on fire and prov- ed a mighty obstacle in the paths of the Pete players. The Port Hopers and Bowman- ville always have proven thorns in the local bush and last year was no exception, Tonight they can be de- pended upon to give just as much opposition and the locals cannot un- der-rate them. In fact the play- ers on the Red, White and Black, realize that the Ports are out to win the contest. One hing tha is essenial in tonight's game, though, is that the players come across and play a little combination, This was sadly lacking in the Pete game. Following tonight's game iuwie will be a meeting of all the clubs when the schedule will be revised. This has been necessitated by the dropping out of ePterboro. As far as the local club is concerned there will be very little alteration in the schedule, SMILE THE WHILE YOU TRAVEL The "Vancouver Express" is by no means a joke, but you cannot help smiling when its porters hand your baggage down because the smile has become a habit. It may he that the smile is infectious and you caught it from the porter when he showed you to your berth, but one thing certain is that having travelled on the 'Vancouver Ex- press," nothing has happened to take the smile away. The service, the cuisine, the equipment, the road-bed, the gentle-handing of this million-dollar train have. all contributed to your happiness-- that is if you have acquired the habit of travelling Canadian Paci- fic between Toronto and Vancou- ver, The "Vancouver Express", the continents standard of railway ef- ficiency, leaves Union Station at 9.00 p.m, tonight and every night of the week, For rates, reservations, tickets, etc., consult M, R, Johnson, or any Canadian Pacific ticket agent.

The battle was fought as évenly as possible, with goal shots practic ally equal, and only the phenc- menal net-tending of Hainsworth in the Habitant's cage and Connell, net guardian for the lgeals, held the heavy-scoring stick: of the combatants in check. At times it appeared the dazzling speed of the Montreal forwards would override the world's cham- pions, but it was then that the Red, hite and Blacksquad ross to dizzy defensive heights to put the Frenchmen to rout. : The entire anadien team turn- ed in a stellar performance, while Kilrea, Nighbor, Broadbent and Boucher turned in sparkling per- formances for the locals, Len Gros: venor, Ottawa substitute wing, used freely, and tuined in a creditable exhibition, Hockey Records | International Section P.W.L T.Pta Canadiens ..... 156 10 1 4 24 Ottawa .. .16 6 6 16 Montreal ......... 13 6 B 14 N.

HARE AND TORTOISE Steady, persisten effort always icceeds. It is idle to regret that se are not so clever as somebody ise; that it makes greater de- pands on us to do a thing than on ur smarter companions. The old fable of the tortoise nd the hare reminds us that the ace is not always to the swift. Cleverness is sometimes even' a dis advantage. When things come too easy, they are usually mot done well. The slower, but more thorough worker turns out a better piece of work for the conscientious labor he puts into it. So do mot be dis couraged because progress is not 80 quick as you may desire. J SPORT BRIEFS Galt, Dec. 28.--The announcement was made yesterday that Clayton Hoffman had been appointed mana- ger of the Galt O.H.A. intermediates. He was in charge of the practice to- night in preparation for the opening game at Kitchener Thursday night. Jack Duncan, star speedball pitcher and also a hockey player, is lost to the Galt team. He returned yester- day to Sudbury after spending the holiday here, and announced his re- tirement from sport, having secured an excellent position with a mining company at Bradley, Ont. It was on account of this position that he turn- ed down an offer to turn pro, with Hamilton's Canpro team, Johannesburg, South Africa, Dec. 28.--The Marylebone Cricket Club's team won the first match with South Africa here yesterday by ten wickets, MAY BE NEW RECORD Ottawa, Dec. 28.--~What is thought to be a record for Canada, and cer- tainly a new mark in local curling circles, was set up yesterday by E, L. Brittain at the Rideau Club, while playing for the President's prize, which he captured. Playing with the iron, Mr, Brittain totalled 43 points, a single point higher than the score made by a Winnipeg curler, who hung up the record some time ago. FREAK GOAL DECIDES Stratford, Dec. 282. --With the slop- piest of freak goals, on a shot from middle ice, Windsor last night won from Stratiord by 1-0. Fournier shot the only counter of the game and it was about as fluky a goal as could | well be imagined. It was the fifth consecutive defeat sustained by Stratford, 12TH BATTERY WON London, Ont., Dee. 28.--The Lon- don 12th Battery O.H.A. intermediate DETROIT NOSE OUT RAVINAS 4 TO 3 Toronto, Dee, 28--Detroit sur- mounted another obstacle in its climb from the cellar to the roof of the Canadian Professional Hockey League standings by beating Rayinas 4 to 3 last night at the West Toronto Arena, but it took seven minutes of overtime play to complete the task. The locals through the loss slipped back to third position with London champions again defeated their riv- als, the London East Athletic Club | team, in the second game of the ser- ies, which was played last night at the arena, this time to the score of 6 to 2. The Gunners had the advan- tage on their opponents all through the game, although the latter show- | ed great improvement in form over Friday night, Both teams set a ter-! rific pace from the first and kept it up throughout. BOSTON GAINING Boston, Dec. 28--The Boston Bruins moved withifi one point of the | top of the American division of the National Hockey League by defeat- | ing the New York Rangers 2 to 0 in a fast and rugged game last night. | Two int individ 'rformances | accounted for the Biuin scores, Ed- die Shore skated through the Ranger defense and slapped a rebound past Chabot for the first goal two minu- tes after the second period opened. Half-way through the third period | Harry Connor, a Bruin spare, skated the length of the ice to score the second counter, QUEEN'S ON TOUR Kingston, Ont, Dec. 28.--Queen's hockey team left at moon yesterday for Pembroke and Carleton Place, where they play exhibition games. KINGSTON PLAYER HURT Kingston, Dec. 28. --"Chummy" Lawlor, star centre player of King- ston O.H.A. intermediate team, was badly injured in an automobile acci- dent, an dwill be out of the game for a month, He sustained a broken nose and other injurics, DEFEATED QUEEN'S Pembroke, Dec. 28.--Pembroke op- ened the local hockey season with a win over Queen's University seniors in an exhibition game here last night. | of but on the night's play they deser- ved at least to have remained on even terms with the Olympias. Ra- vinas did not display their regular brand of hockey, their team play and system being disorganized by the crafty passing methods of the Foy- ston followers. The visitors proved masters of territorial passes that baffled the Westenders in their checking efforts. e exhibition by Detroit was one the best demonstrations of the possibilities of the new professional code but while it was a decided bene- fit to Detroit, it was anything but pleasing to the largest crowd at the Ravina this season. The invaders manoeuvred around mid-ice waiting an apportunity to deccy a checker out of position and slide a forward pass to a stalling team mate on the blue-line. Ravinas stuck to their usual pleasing play of driving in on top of the cage with all possible speed and trickness, but with De- troit taking full advantage of the forward passing privileges, both in their own defensive zone and in centre ice, they were forced to do a great deal of extra skating to break up counter attacks, Individually, the Ravinas were superior, but Detroit's margin in the Financing the Farmei Whether you seek a loan, safety for your funds, or any other vice, we invite you to call and consult We are glad to discuss and consider all in which our financial EXerence may be of value ing ser- us. matters C.

The Lum- ber Kings had a considerable advan- tage in the first two periods, while in the final session the Collegians pressed the play throughout, but were kept off the score sheet by bril- liant defensive play, Pembroke scor- ed one goal in each period, while Queen's registered their counter in th seecond. Eddie Carmody was the star for Pembroke on the scoring end, with two goals and one assist to his credit. LEADERS WON AGAIN Kitchener, Dec. 28.--The Kitchen- er professionals were given a tough tussle here last night in the Cana- dian League, but they finally won by 4 to 3 over Niagara Falls, and thus retained the lead in the King loop. The game, which was rather listless in the first period, livened up as it progressed. Just before the fin- ish there was quite a flare-up be- tween the visitors and Steve RiRce of the locals, each being given five minutes for mixing it. Then when the game was over a spectator and Goalkeeper Ironstone of the Falls got into a battle, and then the spectators piled in, but the police charged and quickly broke up the conflict.
