Herb Chesebrough, of the Oshawa Hockey Committee, sald this morn- ing that this matter would be taken up at a meeting of the committee to be held this afternoon. He show- ed us a letter from the president of the OH.A, W. A, Hewitt, stating that the three players had been given their release by the Pats and Mr, Chesebrough said that the Ham ilton team had waived all rights to the players. The players had all turned out earlier in the season for the Oshawa Legionnaires but had later decided to play for the Hamilton Pats. How- ever they had not taken up resi- dence in Hamilton by November 1 as required by the rules and appar- ently did not intend to do so. Mr. Chesebrough said that just before the meeting Thursday of the O.H.A. executive when it was decided to form Intermediate "A" five-team loop to include Oshawa Legion- naires, a phone call had been receiv- ed from Hamilton officials saying that the players were released. He added that he did not know what the situation was regarding these three but that Harold Luke, president of the hockey committee had called a meeting for today at which this would be thrashed out. However they were definitely re- leased, he said, and they had the documents to prove it. The question of the new four- team city league would also be dis- cussed at the meeting, he said, and the plans for its schedule would be drawn up. He asked that any hoc- key players who would like to play in this league should notify the se- chetary of the Oshawa Hockey Committee. Mr, Chesebrough said that the Legionnaires entry for the Interme- diate league should be pretty strong. Already they were sure of having Jack Tisdall, "Wart" Barker, Ab Barnes, "Rube" Waddell and "Doc" Dafoe. They hoped to get Jerry Cooper and the three players now in dispute, He mentioned that a meeting would also be held on Mon. day to get the intermediate group under and that a convener would be chosen at that time to draw up a schedule, Dr. Brock Opens Curling Season The local curlers got off to & good start last night with Dr. John Brock throwing the first stone to officially open the 1946-47 season. Despite the large number of mem- bers away, there was a good turn- out of both old and new curlers. No formal competitions were. held but all enjoyed a good first-of-the- season work-out, The novice bonspiel, in which new curlers will have a chance to get experience in the sport, will get under way the first of next week. International Curling 'Spiel Draws 96 Clubs Quebec, Nov. 16--(CP)--Officials of the Quebec International Curling Bonspiel announced last night that the. event would take place the third week in January. Although 149 rinks have register- ed, only 96 clubs, selected on the basis of former participation, will compete in the various playdowns, due to lack of ice facilities. Scheduled to compete are rinks from Toronto, Kingston, Montreal, Saint John, N.B., Halifax, Chicago and Detroit. One of the most important of the 10-odd playoffs will be competition for the Quebec Lieutenant Govern- or"s Trophy, won last year by the Thistle Club of Saint John.

Canadiens And Maple Leafs Battle Tonight f= By JACK MITCHELL From the building that has seen this contest come to be desighated as "Wrestlers vs. Woodchoppers", National Hockey League fans in BOWLING MEN'S STORE LEAGUE Mayfair Lanes 'Tuesday night saw the completion of the first section of the schedule and A, Moss say we can ng the playoffs anytime now. Alright fellows, just wait until Ped. lars the second section and you will be had Toronto could be pardoned today if | Press they headed for Maple Leaf Gar- dens expecting to see some mat promoter's surrealistic dream of a : battle royal on ice. Frank Selke, manager of Montreal Canadiens as long as three weeks ago designated Toronto Maple Leafs as "The Best Wrestlers in the League" and furthered in the counterblast of Toronto's Conn Smythe, who could see no hockey ability in the Stanley Cup cham- plons--only first-rate woodchoppers. The billings for the game also de- emphasize the hockey, describing it as an "Atomic Clash" featuring "Those Rugged World Champions" against "Hockey's Fighting Game- cocks", also known as Smythe"s "Bucking Bucharoos." The fireworks may explode. But the chances are they will be inter- spaced with plenty of bang-up hoc- |B. key, as will every other game in this five-card week-end which sees the teams starting their second month with but six points separat- ing top from bottom. Both Leafs and Canadiens go on to a second week-end tilt, so the casualty lists had better not be too heavy. The Leafs play their sécond tilt Sunday night against the fifth- place Rangers at New York while Canadiens go on to Boston to take on the rugged Bruins, With Montreal, Toronto and Bos- ton all tied for first place with 13 3 points each, one of the three has an opportunity to open up a margin in the standings. The other week-end clashes are a second Saturday night tilt, pitting the last-place Chicago Black Hawks against the Rangers at New York, and a third Sunday night contest, in which Chicago takes on the Red Wings at Detroit. Hawks and Wings are tied for fourth position, each with eight points. Meapavhile, rumblings of a move to inject more youth into Canadiens were heard anew in Montreal. The upshoot of a deal involving four players was that George Pargeter, a 22-year-old left winger from Cal- gary, would join the champions in Torcato in time for tonight's clash, Pargeter comes to Canadiens from Springfield Indians of the Am- erican Hockey League, who get three players in return.

GENERALS JUNIOR "A" HOCKEY Joe Krol Must Do It Today By The Canadian Press Two gridiron trophy winners will be on the spot this afternoon--one in Montreal, where the Big Four title is to be decided between Tor- onto Argonauts and Montreal Alou- ettes, the other in Hamilton, where the Ontario Union title final finds Toronto Balmy Beach battling Hamilton Wildcats. At Montreal, it will be Argos' Joe Krol, winfer of the Jeff Russel Trophy, the Big Four award for the player most valuable to his team. At Hamilton the spotlight will be on Frank Gnup, "Cats playing coach who copped the Imperial Oil Trophy as the most valuable player in the ORF.U. Krol, vital: cog in the Toronto machine as the last year's Grey Cup champions battled their way to the Eastern Canada semi-finals this season, has picked mp as many critics along the way as he has ad- mirers., If Argos are to win, Krol will probably be the force behind that win, Gnup fielded a surprisingly strong squad from Hamilton and is rated the coach of the year. But Beaches are a mystery team when it comes to play-offs and proved that when they ousted Toronto Indians two years in succession from the O.R. F.U, title race. .

This one was as close as your next breath, with two of the three officials splitting on their ballots and the third voting it five-rounds, and five, and giving Ray the "duke" on the slim edge of one point--9 to 8--which, incidentally, is what they paid off on. The Associated Press score card gave it tp Ray on his let's-walk-in- and-wallop style, five rounds 'to three, with two even, Of last night's job the general impression is that if either fighters have designs on the Brown Bomb- er's bauble, they'd better show up equipped with Tommy gun and flak vest.
