NIGHT | Walter Johnson Was 59 Yesterday, Recovery Doubted Washington, Nov, 6 (AP)-~Wal- ter Johnson, former strikeout king of the American League, remained in critical condition today at hos- pital after realizing a wish--to reach his 50th birthday, yesterday.

Big Joe Baksi Puts Light-Heavy Freddie Mills Away London, Nov, 6--(AP) -- Big Joe Baksi, Jatest in the parade of Am- erican boxers cash in on boom- ing British British fight gates, ap- peared likely today to be matched in the near future with Bruce Woodcock, British Empire heavy- weight champion. Baksi dispensed with Britain's No. 2 fighter, light-heavyweight champion Freddie Mills, in a non- title fight before a sell-out crowd of 10,700 in Harringay Arena last night. The American was awarded a technical knockout when Mills failed to answer the bell for the start of the seventh round. 1 Mills was bleeding badly from both eyes when his seconds pitched in the sponge after six stanias of the scheduled 10-round bout, Baksi weighed 211%, Mills 184, The Kulpmont, Pa., clouter, who came out of the encounter unscar- red, had the lighter Mills in a bad way after three rounds. The game Mills did not retreat but his good left was an inadequate defence, Woodcock, like Baksi a contender for the world title held by Joe Louis, was at the ringside. In his dressing room after the fight, the unruffied Baksi declared "it was a swell workout. Now I'd like to meet Woodcock." Promoter Jack Solomons . had said before the bout there was a possibility of matching Baksi with Woodcock if the American perform- ed well against Mills, In post-mortems today, several British sports writers criticized the matching of Mills against an obs viously superior foe. The Daily American called the match "a mistake," and The Ex- press in a sharply-worded page-one article headlined "The slaughter of the British," asked "who staged last night's big fight? Thousands at Harringay Arena wanted to know." Upset Winner In Australian Tennis - Davis Cup Trials . Sydney, Australia, Nov, 5. --/(C P)--Geoffrey Brown, runner-up at Wimbledon last summer, was elim- inated from the New South Wales tennis tournament today by an un- known, Jim Gilchrist, in the second round. The tournament is looked upon as a conditioner for the Australian Davis Cup Team which must de- fend the International Trophy against the challenge of the United States forces next month, Gilchrist outlasted Brown, 7-5, 3-6, 2-6, 9-7, 6-2, while other mem- bers of the Australian Cup team triumphed in gtraight-set victories. Brown's victor, not listed among Australia's top 10, countered Brown's scorching service smashes with a snap backhand and soft lobs. Adrian Quist, veteran Interna- tionialist who is fighting for a Cup berth, eliminated the Victorian, Colin Long, who limped through the match on a swollen ankle, Quist won 6-2, 6-2, 6-4.

GRID TEAMS FACE ~~ WIN-OR-ELSE| The Red, Green and Gold Senior and Junior rugby squads will swing into action this week against Peterboro C.V.I. and they should prove to be real thrillers, After their two defeats last year at the hands of the Oshawa Senior squad, who eliminated them from the championship, the P.C.V.I team has made a lot of preparation for the fray by playing exhibition games with quite a few of the better Senior Collegiate teams from To- ronto, But with all this preparation the boys from the Liftlock City are going to have their hands plenty full when they meet up with the O.C.V.I. Senior squad on Saturday afternoon in the Liftlock City. With Bill Dell, Al Reddoch, Wimp Crawford, Gord Hanna, Jim An- derson and Ian Findlay back from last year's champions and such exe cellent new members as Ray Mo- gewsky, Ron Simpkins, Jack Kerr, Earl Henderson and "Pete" Can. ning in the backfield, and such stalwarts on the.front wall as Sad- ler, Barbarick, Segul, Jackakl, Francis, and some others who will excuse us i we forgot them this time--this combination would prove a mighty stumbling' block to any such aspiring team as the "Petes." Have Gained Experience Dell, Reddoch and Anderson have had some added experience in the Big Four Junior loop this year and all three were among those men- tioned most often in the despatches ~s80 it would be wise for the Peter- cro boys to watch out. The Seniors have commenced holding scrimmages at/night against come mighty heavy . opposition as well as their signal practices in the afieinoon on the team's off-shift me, As an added attraction to the game, the Peterboro squad is boast- ing of the effectiveness of their new backfielder in the vaguely familiar form 'of Mcllveen (Bows manville wasn't it?) We all know Mac from past dnd he has been a source of worry to the fans for fear he might batter his way through the line," Juniors Play Tomorrow The O.C.VI. Juniors will play the first game of their up play- offs this Thursday afternoon in Port Hope against Peterboro C.V.I. Juniors to decide who will meet the winner of the Lindsay-Trinity Col lege game. That- will decide the representa- tive to play against Bowmanville, the "B" division champions of. the Lakeshore group. The winner of this game will then take on the winner of the Bay of Quinte group for the right to represent the East- ern seption of the .COBS8SA, ainst St. Catharines, the Western séction champions. {The , Oshawa Collegiate Juniors are training vigorously now and are even going to the extent of hold- ing nightly workouts, to strengthen their offensive and defensive set- up. The game in Port Hope is sched- uled 'for around 3:30 pm. and if there are any kind hearted souls in the midst of the rugby fans of this city who would like to su; much eeded e. game, be greatly appreciated.

Assault paid $7.60 for $2, Conny and Selke Are At It Again By JACK MITCHELL Canadian Press Staff Writer Into the latest flame-fanning blasts of two Natiohal Hockey Lea- gue master publicists, a curious note crept today with the assertion by General Manager Frank Selke of Montreal Canadiens that he would give the "silent contempt" treat- ment to Conn Smythe of Toronto. The silence, he hastened to add, went only for certain parts of the Maple Leafs that Canadiens 'as hockey players are good woodchop- pers." And the battle, which oddly reaches peaks on schedule off-days, was on again, : "No wonder there is a shortage 'of pulp and paper in the country, Can- adiens have called in all the wood- choppers," Smythe fired the open- ing salvo at a press conference in Toronto. "Pleased to see that Conn is back in form," said Selke from the safety of, his Montreal office, "They 'use sticks 50 per cent stronger than axyboay else in the league," said Smythe, inferring that this made the sticks hardier than the average player's noggin. "I wish we did, because we'd save nsiderable money," replied Selke, o then swung in the offensive. "They (The Leafs, that is) were quiet a few weeks ago when they were wondering if they were going to be strong enough to make the playoffs, What a difference a few wins make! Now they are leading the parade and talking right out loud." Yo With the sparring taking place at 350-mile range no one was hurt but there was wonder whether this pounding would keep up every Mon- day night on weeks when the teams were unscheduled from Sunday to Wednesday, Last week it was Can- adiens' calling Leafs wrestlers. This week the others are woodchoppers. One consolation was that Wednes- day night will see the return to normal business in the world's pre- mier professional league. Two games are scheduled, with the sec- ond place Boston Bruins against the Red Wings at Detroit and the third-place Rangers af Chicago against the Black Hawks, tied with Detroit for the cellar. Both the leading Leafs and the fourth-place Canadiens, wouldn't you just know it, are idle.

A minor shakeup is imminent af- ter Harris' admission yesterday, when his new job was formally an- nounced by President Larry Mac- Phail, that he is Interested in a first baseman, a catcher, some pit- chers and another outfielder. Both the new Manager and the Club President have made it em- phatic that Joe Di Maggio is to re- main with the Yankees, Ted Willams is not under con- sideration according to MacPhail who confirmed a World Series meet- ing with owner Tom Yawkey of the Boston Club, Larry said no players were discussed. Nick Etten definitely is on the block. Harris said that his line-up needs are flexible to the extent that Tommy Henrich can be used either at first or right fleld. That would add up to a trade of Etten for a flychaser if suitable material were available, ' Harris realizes that Catcher Aar- on Robinson needs relief help if he is to continue his long-distance slugging. With Red Ruffing and Ernie Bonham both departed, the pitching staff needs at least starters in addition to Allie Reynolds, who was acquired from the Indians for Joe Gordon, Chuck Dressen, late of Brooklyn, as the No. 1 Coach, will handle the third base coaching chores, but the other coaching job won't be filled immediately, Johnny Schulte, Joe McCarthy's bull pen catcher, will be retained in some capacity. The New York Skipper has been a Big League pilot for 20 years, starting at the top of the ladder by winning Washington's first Pennant and World Series in 1924 in his' first year as a manager, He was only 27 at the time and the "boy wonder" tag was hung on him. He will be 50 Friday. | Fights Last Night | By The Associated Press New York--Freddie Floree, 161, New York, P Joey I 159, N etrort-Wilis And 117, De e Anderson, 117, Detroit, outpointed Al Ellis, 117, Detroit ro Monvgomery.

Future Games Tonight Straizond at St. Michael's; 8t, Catharines at Young Rangers, N.H.L. Teams Almost As Good Away As Home By The Canadian Press To accentuate the tightness of the National Hockey League's early run, it takes merely a glance at the standings that show only one of the circuit's six teams playing, in baseball parlance, at 'a lower than 500 clip. With Detroit Red Wings the lone counterbalance, the standings seem top-heavy until another glance shows the reason for it--the num. ber of ties the teams have played. With six of the 20 games so far fought to deadlocks, each team has taken part in at least one. The fact that the league-leading Toronto Maple Leafs have three draws to go with their record of three vic- tories and a loss largely accounts ahead of the two last-place teams, for their being only four points Chicago Black Hawks and Detroit Red Wings, Both the Wings and the Hawks get opportunities on home ice to improve their positions in tonight's games, although the tasks may be difficult. ! Visitors at Chicago are the sur- prising New York Rangers, whose flying 'start finds them in third position, while the powerful Boston Bruins, only one point behind To- ronto in second place, are the Red Wings opponents at Detroit. Both games mark the first meet. ing of the season between the re- spective teams, These games, if precedent is fol- lowed, should end in a definite ver dict as New York, Detroit and Chi- cago are the three clubs that have taken part in only one tie contest so far. The fourth club in action, Boston, is the worst offender, how=- ever, with four deadlocks in seven games--one more draw than To- ronto. Both the Leafs and Montreal Canadiens are idle tonight, the lat- ter meeting Chicago in a. Thurs. day night contest and Toronto not gettirig back into action until Saturday night.

NIGHT Mahers of the T.HL., Senioe Commercial League will play Osh» awa Legionnaires at the Oshawa Arena on Thursday of this weels - in the second of a series of exhibie tion hockey games sponsored by the local Intermediate "A" entry. The visitors will feature a number of players well known to Oshawa hockey followers including Jack Ingoldsby of Maple Leaf fame and Jack Shill who not only was an outstanding junior of some years ago, but played professionally with Toronto Maple Leafs and Bruins, a Mahers, coached by Jimmy Gar. lich, who also plays defence, should give the Legionnaires a stiff tussle, On Friday last they suffered a 6-4 defeat at the hands of Owen Sound Mohawks but since then have ad- ded a number of new players to their roster, plus conditioning prace tices. The Legionnaires, coached by Kennie Sanders worked out Mon- day night with another practice slated for tonight and are in close to mid-season form. More Games Coming Up Since their decisive win over Stoney's on Hallowe'en night, the Legionnaires have been the recipies ents of numerous offers of exhibie tion games with teams throughout Ontario. Unfortunately, the tentatively scheduled game with Pecples, who have more than a smattering of Legionnaire personnel on their roster, has fallen through, but the club has received offers from both Mahers and Barkers. Hoping to give the public the best possible hockey, the Legionnaires have ac- cepted the offer of Mahers, who were a power in T.H.L. hockey last season. Offers have also been received from Kingston Lions, whom the locals expect to play in Kingston next week and Markham Interme- diates, who have been booked for an exhibition contest here next Monday. Brantford has also contacted the Legionnaires for a pre-season game, go the series of exhibition games the team hopes to maintain until their league season starts, should provide Oshawa and district hockey fans with some outstanding action, Many Old Favorites Mahers will lineup Thursday with "Ginger" Hall, who has played a number of outstanding games in opponents nets at the arena in the past, Cy Allan, for many years one of the best amateurs, Fox, Gare lick, Jack Shill, Dalziel, Hickey, Stanton, Jack Ingoldsby, Pendle bury, Gorman, McGuerin, Labraico, Ken Grivel and Hughes, Despite the fact that a number of the Legionnaires have received 4 tempting offers from Toronto come= mercial teams, the locals will ice & strong squad.
