PAGE SIGHT 1HE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 27, 1928 --_ WEST TORONTO, YOUNG RANGERS WIN -- CITY TEAM PLAY DEC. 31 West Toronto Far Too Speedy Returning to the form they flashed in the series for the S.P.A, silver. ware, West Toronto easily disposed of the "flu" wrecked Oakville team last night at the Ravina rink by a 10-to-2 score, which put the lads from the Junction in the triple tangle for top place in group No, § of the junior OHA, hile the boys from the Lake Shore Road dis- trict were under strength, with three regulars missing, West Toronto was back to the power which carried them into the pre-season semi-finals, all their players being recovere irom illness and back in harness, Oakville had only one alternate to start the game, and just before the match commenced it was feared that they would have only six players, They were outclassed in everythin, put pluck, for West Toronto playe clever combination, had speed to waste, and were strong, both on the offensive and defensive, With the rangy Ewens back at centre ice to make the plays, West Toronto swept in on the Oakville goal, and on poor marksmanship or loose wor around the nets, prevented them from getting more, Ewens was the pivot ois which the Westerners work- ed, and all his team-mates seemed to fit his style of play. Twin City Jrs. Win First Game Kitchener, Dec, 27--The Kitchen- er-Waterloo juniors opened their O.H.A. campaign here last night and defeated the Stratford Papooses by the score of 3 to 1; but their play was hardly impressive, many ragged ends appearing in their offensive work, However, for an opening game it was a good sample of junior hockey, though the first two periods were draggy at times. However, in the third stanza both teams opened up, and the result was the best hockey of the might. Bobby Fellbaum, Twin City centre ice performer, shared the limelight with Sil Siebert, last year's right- winger, who has been converted into a defence man, Fellbaum checked steadily throughout, but could not score a goal, while Ray Shantz had the same hard luck. Both Fellbaum and Siebert showed amazing speed as they broke from the defence and repeatedly skated away from the Stratford checks. Harold Clark was the outstanding Stratford performer, with Zulauf on the defence showing real ability in his blocking and carrying 'of the puck well. Bundscho at centre play- ed a strong game, with his checking being effective throughout. Back on the Job Sunday Montreal, Dec. 27--Dave Trottier will rejoin the Montreal Maroons here Sunday, according to informa- tion received by Manager Eddie Gerard yesterday from Toronto where Trottier is in the hospital with a severe cut in his neck. The injury, received in the Maroon-Leaf battle Christmas night, is not as serious as first thought and it is stated that the player will be out of the hospital by the end of the week. Commenting on the injury sustained by Trottier the Montreal Gazette says: | "The injury to Trottier's neck brings forward once more the sug- gestion that the ends of the players hockey skates be rounded off. Sharp ends serve mo purpose and yet are the cause of many painful and ser- ious accidents, mishaps which are not only uncomfortable to players but put valuable stars on the casualty lists for long periods where they are no use to 2 club . There have been too many cut ankles, legs, mecks, cars and scalps this Winter in major pro hockey."

LJ While the Christmas prize win- ners still remain to be decided at the Recreation owing to the fact that the competition lasts from De- cember 24 to Dec, 29 inclusive, the noble prizes have already been carted home from the Motor City, » * * ' In the turkey roll for the mixed doubles at the Motor City, Matt Siutton and Doris Kennedy carried off the big prize with a total of 1,247 pins. Reg, and Violet Norris were keen contestants for the toi- key and carried off the honors for runners-up, * * Reg Norris also carried off the prize at the Motor City for the high three successive singles during the day with a total of 863, represented by scores of 285, 254 and 324, which anyone will admit, were all quite credible. * k ¥ The prize for the men's high three events was & 10 pound ham, and for some time it looked as if Manning Swartz was in for being acclaimed the winner, Reg, how- ever came along to send in a better total and to help Manning out of what might have been an awkward predicament, * J] * Violet Norris, Reg's better half, also came nearly winning the five pound box of chocolates which was offered by Wullie Myles to the lady sending in the highest single. At the very last minute, however Olive Glen came through with a 235 to send the former Miss Copeland's score of 212 into oblivion. * * * Four boys who bowl with the Parts and Service men Messrs Lar- mer, Loche, Hardman and Hand- cock were truly imbued with the Christmas spirit this week as seen through their very gracious act in taking one of the pin boys whose prospects of a happy Christmas were not overly bright and buying this boy a complete new outfit of clothes. We have no doubt that after seeing the effect of their kind- ness, the gentlemen received ample compensation for what they had done. * * * The Stampers from General Mot- ors held a glorious Christmas roll with a turkey, a goose, a couple of chickens and a boobey prize being included among the = presentation which followd after the smoke of battle had cleared away. The boo- bey prize consisted of a set of five- pins and balls, the idea being, doubtless, to permit the winner ro practice at home on the sly for future competitions.

The river was calm on Monday after- noon, but rough water developed that night. | Skirvow two. All four tallies were Danforths Win in Last Period Wearing down Young Rangers' stubborn defence bulwark in fifty minutes of front-line sorties, Dan- forths' wave of speed finally swept over their fast tiring opponents for three goals last night at the Arena Gardens. This trio of counters were added tb a goal early in the first period, which Rangers tied in open- ing minutes of the third dash, thus giving Danforths the decision by 4 to 1, The resylt places Danforths on the top rung / of the group, tied with Young Rangers and West Toronto with two wins and one loss each, For two periods the play was close and productive of hard hitting de- fensive action. Then the pace sped up as the wearers of the Wildey livery tied the count, Danforths threw everything they had into the attack and their three-men thrusts became harder and harder for Rang- ers to stop, For seven minutes the Eastenders' sorties pierced closer and closer to the Rangers' citadel before they battered their way through for the winning gaol, "Leg weary, the Wildey clan were penned back in their own territory and two more tallies came zipping into their cage before the bell sounded a wel- come rsepite. McGill Loses Third on Tour New York, Dee. 26.--McGill Uni- versity went down to their third successive defeat here when they bowed before Dartmouth five goals to one, In making a save from Rogers in the last few moments. of the second period, Powers, "isiting goalkeeper, dived full length on the ice and was struck a hard blow on the nose by Rogers' stick, caus- ing a severe injury. Powers re- iired then, and Klein replaced him in the McGill cage in the third period. The game as a whole was a fairly good exhibition of college hockey. United States colleges have made rapid strides in taeir efforts to build up championship college hockey teams, and this fac- tor made the Montreul team ap- pear weaker than they have been on previous tours, McGill--Goal, Powers; fence, McTeer; right defence, Smith; centre, St. Germaine; leit wing, Ward; right wing, Robert- gon; subs. iarqubarson, McGilliv- ray, McLein, Dartmouth--Goal, Boit; left de- fence, Shea; right defence, Booma; centre, Jeremiah; left wing, I'ry- berger; right wing, Rogers; subs.

This victory for Packards put them out in front with two straight wins. Both games were close all the way through with the ultimate winners a little bit better. . French and Head, the new entry in the series, created a surprise when they defeated Bell Telephone. The "Hellomen" who were run- mers-up last year have just as strong a team this year but they lack the scoring punch. Time after time they were inside and they would either miss the net or shoot it over. "Paddy" Moran in the mets for French and Head stood between Bell Telephone and wic- tory. He made some great saves and only for him his team would have been beaten. The second game was full of thrills. Packards, minus the ser- vices of Barnett, Patten and Johnny ) McPherson, who were sick were forced to play the entire game with only one alternate, but this did mot prevent them from winning. In the first period they ram in four straight goals, while Adams were held scoreless. The marks- men were Forester, Shannon and left de- hard-earned, and Smith in goal for Adams had mo chance to save. Only for him Adams would have absorbed a bad beating. In the second period there was only one goal scored and this was by Adams. Bowsfield being the marksman. Just after the face-off in the third period Adams scoved their second goal when Montgom- ery beat Holmeshaw with a shot from the blue line. Packards came right back and scoved their fifth and last goal. Adams sen: every- body up bat they were only able to land one move, Kitson slapping one past Holmeshaw on Tufford's rebound.

CHRISTMAS HAS COMPETED WN EVERY RACE SINCE 1920 RUNNER OF SASKATCHEWAN AS BEEN STARTING THE HOOFING MARATHON Se" '® SINCE 1906 On Christmas morn the Calgary Herald will again stage Western Can- ada's greatest s»nual road race, an event which never fails to draw the cream of the prairie provinces' running talent. * Sharp at 11 am. in front of the Herald building the starting gun will be fired by Fire Chief James "Cappy" Smart, who has performed the ceremony ever since the incep- tion of the Herald marathon in 1906. Needless to say, Cappy, who hopes to go on starting it till he is 100, is one of the city's outstanding sport boosters. John Kerr, Jr, of Passburg, Alta, won the 1927 event, after coming second in 1926, to Fred Halliwell of Saskatoon, champion cross-country runner of Saskatchewan. Halliwell won in 1926 and 1925, establishing in the latter year the present record for the 6 1-7 mile course, of 34 minutes, 21 2-5 seconds. Stan Steven is another veteran Calgary marathoner who first competed in the Herald road race in 1914, and returning from overseas in 1920 has run every year since. He has been in the medal class several times but has never finished first. Steven ran under the Canadian Legion colors in the C. C. Pyle bunion derby and finished the long hike, though out of the money. He has applied to the amateur union for re-instatement so as to be able to compete at Calgary again this year. SPORT SNAPSHOTS Sid Howe, youthful centre player of the Rideau senior hockey team, has turned down a very attractive offer to play professional hockey with Tommy Gorman's New York Americans. Howe, in refusing the offer, said that he has not yet decided as to whether he would turn pro or remain amateur and finish his education. Queen's University hockey team won the first of the contests in the Maritime invasion last might, when the Bathhurst, N.B. team went down to defeat, 4 to 3. The home team got three goals in the first two frames, holding the visitors to two, but in the third period Queen's poked.in two counters. The game was fast and clean. If the weather does mot improve in the Winter Sportsmen's way of looking there will be such a multitude of postponed games we will be play- ing hockey when baseball time comes around. There are two league games scheduled for tomorrow. Shamrock Juniors arc billed to play in Peterboro while the Simcoe Intermediates are scheduled to be the guests of Bowmanville, The game that the Oshawa City team has on its schedule for the 25th of January has been changed to the 26th.

Tex Rickard was thinking of having Jack Dempsey referee the fight between Young Stribling and Jack Sharkey in February, The popularity of the ex-champ would in all probability draw as many fans to the box office as the fight itself. * Sharkey won't stand for it, he says his objegtions are both personal and professional.

The burglars worked for nearly three hours, making futile effort to pry crow bar before using a powerful ex» plosive to get the door open, When a policeman saw the fire ege cape down and investigated, he found the watchman dazed by his cramped position and nearly over come by the heat from the pipe. Ziegs ler had to sit by the hot pipe for another hour until the cuffs were snipped by men from the detective bureau who could not find a key to "I don't think the note is genuine." | fit, Christmas Cakes Made in Ow Own Pure Food Kitchen From the Choicest Ingredients 1-ib.
