PAauL Sia FIVE PRO GAMES RESULT IN SHUTOUTS FO iHE OSHAWA DAILY |IMES, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 28, 1928 Fa Os R THE LOSING TEAMS City Team -and Toronto Melvas in Practice Game 'The exhibition game on Monday New Years Eve is sure to be one that will make a lasting impression on the minds of those that see it, this Melvas team that are to he the winners, or the losers as the case may be are among the best in the Toronto Hockey Leaguq Senior Series, They were runners up in the Toronto League Playoffs last year, Parkviews putting them out in the final, Many of the players on their lineup are well known to the Hockey World, as their names have been appearing on the sporting pag- es of various papers for a number of years, Some of these are Mel Ross a goal tender of good report, Eddie Mephin and Bill Williams, two huskey defence men, Roy and Earl Carton both centre players, Trivett from the Newmarket junior team last year, Johnny Curran, and Wally Carton, From a host of such players as these they should put a team on the ice that will make the Oshawa City intermediates step high wide and handsome to defeat them, But don't ever think that they won't be in their trying, and win, lose or draw the game is going to be one of the best of the season and might easily be more interest- ing than some in the official sched- ule, Although we have not even got an inkling of the team that will start for the City outfit we can rest assured that it will be 0. K. as there are some twenty aspir- ants out 'and nearly all of them familiar to the Oshawans, Frank Sullivan is booked to act as referee, Cataracts Win From Hamilton Niagara Falls, Dec. 28.--Hamil- ton Tigers bowed to a 2 to 0 defeat admijnistered by the Cataracts in last night's Canpro game here. A crowd of 1,600 witnessed the tilt, which: livened up in spots and pro- duced some good hockey. The teams checked rather closely, though the game was well enough punctuated with open hockey to please the thrill-loving fans. The game was a clean affair, and the only excitement, so far as mis- cues were eoncerned, was provided by Mike Brophy and Rene Fourn- fer, the. pair starting a petty feud in the opening period, that lasted till the end, with no damage bein done, It was a well-played fixture and the Falls had just enough mar- gin on the night's, play to warrant their victory, if not the shut-out. Wilf McLeod, who was given plenty of play at left wing, owing to "Butch" Kelterborn's absence, turned in an excellent performance for the winners. The ex-Colling- wood boy scored one of his team's goals on a pretty attempt and fig- ured in numerous worthy and clev- er efforts. Fournier, Cain, Godin and Steele all played strong hockey for the Falls, while the work of "Paddy" Farrell in goal was per- fect. For Hamilton, Brophy gave a fine performance, as did Huff- man, Reinikka and Baker.

Maurice Welsh, president of the curling sec- tion, occupied the chair, while those seated at the head table were E. T. Lighthourne, president of the On-/ tario Curling Association and mem- ber of the Toronto Carling Club, the first club to instal artificial ice in Ontario; Thomas Rennie, of the Granite Club and chairman of the Macdonald Brier competition ; George C, Loveys, of Lakeview; Fred Lucas, of High Park; Ross Harstone, of High Park, and Char- ley McKay, president of the Oak- wood Club, Limited. After a sumptuous repast, Chair- man Welsh called upon Dr. Wylie, the "live wire" of the club, whose untiring efforts, assisted by the mem- bers, put across the artificial ice campaign. Dr. Wylie in a brief sketch related how artificial ice was the salvation of curling in Toronto. He pointed out how the different city clubs had been losing members until their clubs installed the ice plants, and now with members knowing games could be played when schedu- led how the membership in every club had been increased. L. Mac- aulay; M.P.P., another active work- er, and President Charlie McKay spoke along the same lines. verve 0 0 0 3 i MRS.

Professional and Amateur Sport View New York, Dee, 27.--Put down the amateur-professional situation among the main topics of sport 10 be well aired in 1929, Swimming n the latest recruit for the nks in Johnny Weismuller, is hardly a sport now that isn't Npterested in some fea- ture of the \gituation, either in making amateur competition safe for the amateurs, fixing the status of various well-known stars or in finding a clear dividing line be- tween pros and simon pures says the Associated Press, "lI am getting to an age where I must look to the future and try to earn some money, something an athlete in constant training finds hard t odo," says Weismuller, the fastest human fish, Jole Ray, after quite a few years of medal collecting, expressed somewhat similar sentiments re- cently when he forsook amateur ranks to go barnstorming for the gate receipts with El Auafi, an- other foottracer to yield to com- mercial persuasion, "I have a family to support and I must do something about it," commented Vincent Richards, in effect, about two years ago when he took the step into protessional tennis along with such other stars as Howard Kinsey, Mary K. Browne and Suzanne Lengien, The intimation was that Rich- ards could do very little about it by playing amateur tennis virtu- ally ithe year 'round, especially where the Davis Cup campaign alone may now keen it participants ergaged from April to August, It is a fact that the turnover has been increasingly large in the past few years, College stars such as Bruce Caid- well, Owen Carroll, Ennie Nevers and Benny Friedman had at.rac- tive offers awaiting them in pro- ressional baseball when they quit the campus life. Norman Ross, titheida Bieibtrey, Aileen Riggiu, Gertrude Ederle and Helen Wain- wright, among the swimming stars, have preceded Weismuiler, Lengien, Browne, Richards, Kin- sey, Snodgrass and Alexander have left amateur tennis ranks, along wih Jim Anderson the Australian star, Tommy Armour became na- tional open golt king only a few years after turning pro. Boxing, like baseball, looks own the amateur class as more or less of a prep school for pro activity, In the face of the tempting of- fers made to him over a consider- able period, it will be all the more remarkable, if Paavo Normi sticks «0 amateur footracing, but the Finn's ultimate status will be a subject of considerable interest during the mew year. Governing bodies are concerned with the so-galled "professionai amateurs," star performers who are able to support themselves by var- ious means while still keeping up wich the swift competitive pace. They also have to deal with con- fiicting standards of defining an amateur--such cases as where Big Bill Tilden, while not actually pro- fessionalized was suspended for player-writer activity barred by the American tennis code, but not con- sidered cause for any action what- ever by French ruling au.horities. All the old problems become in- creasingly difficult to soive when a Davis Cup campaign takes four or five months with a trip half way around the world thrown in: when amateur golf takes the star com- petitor from coast to coast, if not abroad; when an Olympic trip ia- volves at least two months' con- centrated training and competition or when an indoor track campaign occupies most of an individual star's time for about three months of the Winter season. WAITOR Is ARRESTED ON ASSAULT CHARGE Ottawa, Dec. 28.--Harry Woo, Chinese waiter at a local cafe, was arrested today on a charge of as- saulting Harold Starr, prominect local sportsman. The accused was released on the recognizance of his counsel and will appear for trial tomorrow morning. The court action is a sequel to a melee in the cafe where the China- man was employed, in which fur- miture, bottles, dishes and other objects are alleged to have been used as missles by the combatants. The charge against Woo is that he assaulted Starr with a red hot poker, causing grievous bodily harm. . PASTRY FLOUR Eclipse XXX 'Marvel 24 1b.

The game was fast and strenuous but only one pen- alty was called, Art. Smith being the victim, Bailey, who starred throughout the encounter, netted the first goal in the second period on a trick pass from Carson. This goal was augment- ed in the third period when Smith, taking a wild stab from the blue line, slid one by Miller for the final count- er. Frederickson, who proved a thorn to the Leafs in their last encounter, made his debut in a Pirate uniform on his new home ice. His work was the feature of the Corsair play but solo efforts were to mo avail against the brand of play the Toronto skat- ers put up. fence, Toronto earned their wictory. By losing the Pirates muffed an op- portunity to go into a tie for third place in the American.division with Boston. Play Opens at Fast Clip The game opened at a terrific pace with Day taking the face-off to give Miller the first save. Milks and Dar- ragh pressed for the Priates and Bailey retaliated for Toronto. The entire Pirate line tore down the ice with Chabot being extended to save. Bailey made a fine sortie down they Forming an almost impregnable de- | ice but missed out in front of the Pirate cage. The fast pace continued. The Pirates sent in their reserves and these were followed a moment later by the Leafs' subs. Blair and Lowrey each took solos down the ice to lose out to the Pirate defence men. Tex White went through the entire Toronto team and at a distance of two feet missed an open goal. Both teams again changed their offence and play continued merrily along at a rapid Clip. Frederickson sent one shoulder higheto Chabot who found trouble saving. Day show- ed a thing or two by going down the ice to the Pirate net but Miller re- ceived plenty of aid from his mates i and Day's fine work went for naught. The bell was sounded with play in mid ice. | MRS, FRANCES W. GRAYSON DECLARED DEAD BY COURT New York, N.Y.
