Import- ant business is to be discussed and a big turnout is requested. LR Nick Knott and Buddy Hellyer have turned professional. They sign- ed their contracts yesterday after- noon and may we point out at this time that this paper was the first to deny the first report that they had signed and also the first to carry the news yesterday, when they did ac- tually put their names on the dot- ted line. Pe 4% Both have signed two-year contracts and in their own words "we did all right." Osh- awa hockey fans all wish both Knott and Hellyer the best of Juck and success along their new trails. We would have liked to have seen them in an Oshawa senior uniform this winter in the O.H.A. race but they'll be with Pittsburgh Hornets. Under expert coaching, there seems no reason why both boys, husky and fast and natural wingers, should not be able to make good. $ bP Pretty soon now, therell 'have to be an "Oshawa Night" at the Maple [ Leaf Gardens. This city has con- | tributed quite a few pro players in | the last three or four years. LB AR Incidentally, Vern DeGeer of the Globe and Mail, announces Bastien of the Port Colborne team, has not yet signed his pro contract with the Leafs. La He may end up with Washington Pagles or sign with Toronto Marl- boros. They've forgotten all about that pro-tryout rule which used to mean chat a player had to return to the same club. LR Oshawa Yacht Club members held their organization meeting for the 1941 season last night and returned George Hart to the position of Commodore for another term. A strong list of officers have been chosen and the 0.Y.C. sailors seem headed for another good run, before a spanking breeze. They'll hold their annual dinner some night this month. LR George Imlach is going to stay in | Toronto and play with the Marlboro | seniors. > + Several new faces appeared out with the Oshawa Generals last night.

Hope to Win there 1s | his sca- $f Having been shown that to be no totalitarian rule tention this week on the Hamil- | ton Tigers, who have been built up to do a giant-killing job of Toronto Argonauts just as the Argos did to Ottawa last Saturday. There is about as much reason | to believe that the Tigers can beat to think Argos could beat the champion Rough Riders. But Argos did it, 11-9 in that thrilling fourth quarter, and the slow but steady improvement of the Tigers lends this Hamilton game some added spice. They met once before this year, | with Argos the victors 17-5. But | that was no true indication of the play. Tigers led most of the first half and they were in front 5-3 early in the third quarter. The Tigers folded and Arges got hot suddenly in the last 15 minutes to decide the issue. Results Obvious? Generally, tomorrow's card ap- pears to be a cinch to call in com=~ parison with last week's. Argos should be good enough to take the Tigers; Ottawa look to be much too good for Montreal, even in Mon- treal; Toronto Balmy Beach enter- tain Camp Borden and should win going away, while Sarnia should come back after two beatings to defeat Hamilton Alerts in Sarnia. The Tigers have two of the best men of the season to lead the at- tack and marshal the defences against Argos. George Wright has been the Interprovincial Unions | best kicker and most prolific scorer, while Doug Turner, the big centre, has given the Tigers inspired play on secondary defence. These are the axis around which Art Massucci"s team revolves, but it is doubtful whether Wright. can generate enough power to break down the defence that halted Ot- tawa's tanks, or that Turner can rally eough defence to stop Bobby Coulter, Annis Stukus; Elwyn Mor- ris and company. Riders Revengeful With something to make up for after the Argos fiasco, the Rough Riders prcbably will put out all the stops against the luckless crew of Bill Hughes. The Riders blankea them by 22 points in their first meeting and Montreal hasn't shown enough since to warrant a belief that the Riders can't do it again. Balmy Beach, for the first time since their exhibition game against Ottawa, will have their entire back- field ready for the Borden game. But Alex Ponton may decide to keep Jack Frizelle out of action for another week's rest in preparation for the play-offs, Bobby Porter, Frank Seymour and Hugh Tunni- cliffe should be able to handle Ed- die Thompson, Borden's one-man offensive, easily enough. Up To Alerts Now The Hamilton - Sarnia struggle ~ay be the decisive one to decide the Ontario Union's second play- off slot behind Balmy Beach. With Hank Galloway ready to play again, Sarnia appear capable of throwing back the challenge of Ed- die Mclean's lightweights.

Canada Planning Heavy | : Attack in Senior Ama-! teur Ranks This Season | Sydney, NS, Nov. 1 (CP)--The | Maritimes are making their strong- est challenge for the Allan Cup this | season since the palmy days of 1935, when Halifax Wolverines brought the senior Canadian amateur cham. pionship to the Atlantic coast for The Maritime scouts and business { managers have roamed far to line up the talent for the three-team | Cape Breton League, Not since the famous Moncton Hawks ruled the seniors for two seasons prior to the ered such a collection. It might be better at this momen: to say that the the team managers hope they have collected the talent. There are a few clouds on the hori- zon, such as the inevitable argu- ments with other clubs about who signed whom, and the possibility that the lure of a professional con- tract may prove stronger than the call to action in the east. The final set-up of the Cape Breton league will not be known until the National Hockey League clubs have settled on their 1940-41 rosters, For instance, Sydney Mil- ny McCreedy and Dick Kowcinak ready to play for them if Toronto Maple Leafs don't pluck them off the amateur branches. The two flashy forwards starred for Kirkland Lake's Allan Cup champions last season. Some Good Players Mindful of that end of the facts championships have a habit of fo]- lowing the McCreedy - Kowcinak combination, the Millionaires coaxed them into their fold this year, Sydney has lost Tony Graboski, who led the league in scoring last year, to Montreal Canadiens, Glace Bay Miners signed up Bill Judza, Winnipeg star, only to discover he had decided to go instead with New York Rangers. The Miners were thrown for another loss when the rights to Les Ramsay, sought by Glace Bay. Unless Sydney loses McCreedy and Kowcinak, however, these losses will be accepted as the fortunes of war and the teams will be more or less satisfied to start the 66-game schedule with those already at hand. If Sydney loses the duo, it will hurt --decidedly. Of last year's team, Sydney kept goalie Bill Dickie, Remi Van Daele, Ray Powell, Jack Fritz, Jack At- chison and Bud McEachern along with Coach Bill Gill. Besides Snow- den, McCreedy and Kowcinak, they have signed or claim Steve Latoski last year with Ottawa, Bill McGrege or, Winnipeg; Ray Mullins, Valley- field; and Bill Hannon, last season with' North Sydney. They probably have others as well but no team as yet has shown its hand fully, Veterans and Others Glace Bay Miners scrapped all but Hal McBride, Boots Bair, Matt a player must stop the Gibb brothers, Wal- | New Haven ter and Odie, to do it, however.

TRY TO CRIPPLE AUSSIE FAVORITE Melborune, Australia, Nov. 1.--An attempt to cripple the Melbourne Cup favorite, Beau Vite, five days before the famous race, failed early yesterday because attackers made a mistake in the stalls. The favorite's stablemate, Ei Golea, who was not entered in the race, was shot in the hind thigh and hock with an airgun, fired through a small hole bored in the stall. The two horses locked alike and were bandaged similarly.

Pulford, 65, died as a result of a weakened heart condition. He had suffered from heart trouble for several years, hut had been serious- ly ill only a short time. His active athletic career, which began when he won the Ottawa Model School all-round champion- ship at the age of 13, ended in 1024 when he won the Ottawa City squash racquets championship. Back in 1912 'he decided to with- draw from gthletic competition, bug the urge to "get in there" proved too strong. He began playing squash racquets, a game not so well known but every bit as strenuous as most of his other activities, and smashed the ball around for another twelve years. He shone in football, lacrosse, amateur boxing and aquatic sports, but was perhaps best known for his outstanding defensive work with the famous «id Ottawa Silver Sev- world's nosey champions and the Stanley Cup holders in 1903, 1904 and 1905. an ..
