LJ + > > Just » couple of notes from another fanatical hockey city--Cal- gary. As Oshawa has become an always potential contender in junior 'Canadian hockey, so has that beautiful little city in the foothills of Alberta come to be looked upon as the home of senior contenders of more than average ability, This season, despite the loss of several good men from last year's Allan Cup- aggregation, the Cal gary Stampeders are on top of the Western Canada Hockey League, following Saturday's win over their old rivals the Edmonton Flyers, This is not surprising since their number one line of Hunter-Grant- Brownridge is intact from last year, while Dertell in goal is a stand. out. We were privileged to see these men in action last year and they can put on as fine a display of hockey as you would want to see. A new team has entered the league this year in the Lethbridge Maple ' Leafs, coached by no less a person than that ex-Toronto Leaf star, Sweeney Schriner, His team is now trailing the Stampeders and is offering stiff competition to all concerned. Some observers arouna the Foothills city think that Lorne Carr of last year's Leafs may be persuaded to don a Stampeder uniform if the permission was grant. ed. He is now working back in his home town and would certainly be an asset to the champions, J L J LJ * Pardon my English accent: We see where the English cricket team touring Australia "reached dM exciting draw" in its match against New Soullh Wales yesterday. An ungentlemanly rain washed out half the scheduled matches . . . His autobiography might be entitled 47 years a jockey, for Britain's oldest jockey, 60-year-old Fred (Brusher) Herbert, has been riding the best of them in 18 countries for that long.

British horses haven't been getting their oats the past few years, like their Nazi-held cousins in France. At least that is the reason given by turf authorities in the United Kingdom for the amazing success of French nags which have 'galloped off back to Longchamps with $157,684 from 22 wins. Maybe they were mixed up In those jewel thefts, too . . . . The racing stable of King George VI came in seventh among the money winners in Britain's 1946 turf season, with a total of $66,156 for 12 wins.

Manitoba Enters Allan Cup Race Winnipeg, Nov. 20 (OP)--This year, for the first time in 18 years, Manitoba will make a real bid for Dominion senior hockey honors, Not since 1931, when the Winnipegs won the Allan Cup and brought back the world's championship from Lake Placid Olympics a year later, has Manitoba had a poten- tial championship senior team.

If the kids could evolve a fool-proof plan they would reviva the old student order, The young hockey idolizers were miffed at the idea that the escutcheo.. of the whole collegiate crowd should be blotted by the racketeering of caly a few of their clan and deemed it "con- trary to British justice." Never- theless, the girls suggested that a special wicket for students be installed with a bobby-soxed scru- tinder handling the turnstile to ensure that no greybeards slipped by on student's' tickets. Another teen.ager, self-styled '"The Brain," came up with the idea of a rubber stamp, applied to young wrists when they bought their tickets at the school and la- ter to be proudly displayed at the wicket, * Meanwhile, the management fis making {ironclad arrangements through the physical training in- structor of one collegiate and is considering the idea of the rubber stamp for an overall plan, 'Who said the younger genera- tion was decadent? + will.

The opening game of the new in- termediate schedule here will be this Monday when the St, Cathar. best becauwe,| ines Moose play the Legionnaires at he Arena, The Sea Cadets, Army and the Air Force Cadets have all been invited by the Le- gion to attend along with the Kins- men Boy's Band, The Legion team is expected to be a really strong one as most of the lads who were play- ing in THI. hockey teams have come back to the home ground and are willing to play, The trouble is to choose the ones to play out of the large number turning out. The Legion has made its applica- tion for permission of the winner of the new city house-league to play in the Intermediate "B" league of the OHA, This application has been approved by the OHA and the fees paid, with the stipulation that money will be refunded if the present OH.A, regulation govern- ing Intermediate "B"" contestants is not revoked, The present rule states that only towns of 5,000 pop- ulation or less can enter "B"" teams, However there is a move on foot at present to have this ban lifted and thus Oshawa could function in this league, PRO GOLFERS FIND GRIND TOO TOUGH Chicago, Nov, 20--(AP)---Reluct- ance of some star golfers to con- tinue the grind of playing a sched- ule of 40-odd tournaments a year is a problem now being discussed by the United States Professional Golfers Association at its annual meeting here, Ed Dudley of Colorado Springs, Colo, elected P.G.A, president for his sixth term yesterday, said the executive committee was studying methods of urging players to come pete in tourneys for which they are booked, This would avoid dissen- slon among sponsors because of absenteelsm of big name drawing cards. Dudley said the new tournament Program would include the estab ishment of a tournament bureau Byron Nelson, who retired to his Texas ranch last fall with the de- cision to play in only major meets each season, may be followed by such top performers as Ben Hogan and Sam Snead who also would like | to pick their spots in "the future] and appear only in 10 or so big meets. Meantime, a committee of Walter Hagen, Cralg Wood and Fred Cor- | coralf, manager of the tournament bureau, is studying a player selec tion plan for the American Ryder Cup team, Dudley has received word from the British P.G.A. that England is anxious to revive the Ryder Cup series next year after a war-enforced lapse of 10 years, INDUSTRIAL HOCKEY LEAGUE IS MOOTED HERE Pair of Oshawa Hunters Had Most Successful Trip |P) an League For Firms Of Oshawa And District, Promises Keen Competition Tentative plans are well under way for the formation of an in- dustrial hockey lgague to embrace some 10 or more feams representing various manufacturing "concerns in the Oshawa-Whitby ct, It was learned today. Sever are known to be organizing teams with the prime object recreation for the employees in their plants and offices, It is these teams the or- aniiors are attempting to weld to a well-rounded loop, It was pointed out that the plans are still in the embryo stage and for that reason those interested in the venture desire to remain in the back-ground until the plans are a little further advanced. Ideal Time However, a spokesman for the group drew attention fact that the forthcoming season would provide an\excellent opportunity for the projec! league to gain a foot hold, since the war's end has re- sul in the slackening of intense industrial schedules, allowing em- ployees greater leisure for sport pursuits, "Also," he reminded, "many of the boys are back from overseas, settled and are anxious to get back on skates but they feel they are a little rusty after the long layoff to jump into the thick of A-1 competition." Friendly Competition The prime purpose of the league would be to create the opportunity for exercise and the friendly rivalry that competitive sport always brings. If the venture pans out--and there is no logical reasoning which would disprove ultimate success -- there'll be plenty of opportunity, too, for the staid old married man and the' fellows whose hockey ability falls in the "shinney" category. Bo far as it is learned there are about flve teams in particular which have shown serious interest in a league of this nature and it is hoped others will come forward within the next week or so to bolster the project. At that time the names of all teams in the loop will be made known to the public. Small Outlay \ As for rink space, it is learned some is avallable at the Arena, and, with the opening of outdoor sur- faces, this problem should present no obstacle, The spokesman point ed out, too, that there are more than 20 industries located in the city and district and it was his be- lief many of these firms would be willing to back their teams because of the small financial outlay in- volved. It was also noted that many firms consider this a highly effective means of advertising. "In other words," he said," the firms can't lose. Their employees get plenty of good, healthful exercise and, in the bargain, the stirling name of the Ippsy-Wippsy Wash Cloth -- or what-have-you? -- is staunchly up- held." . League Officers Company heads, team managers and players interested in the new league are requested to write to the Oshawa Industrial hockey League, The Times-Gazette Building, Osh- awa . . . and their communications will be forwarded to the local group which is organizing the venture. companies | peting Please let them know how many players are interested and whether you would be willing to attend a meeting at an early date to elect officers for the league from the coms teams, The control of the league would remain with thif elec ted body. Pats In 2nd Spot Senior OHA Race By The Canadian Press \ In the only Ontario Hockey Ab sociatio game played last night, Hamilton Patriclas moved into a second place tie in the Senior series by trouncing the luckless Owen Sound Mohawks, 7-2. The win boosted" Pats up to the level of the second slot Toronto Staffords. It was the third win for the Pate as against three losses, while it was Mohawks fourth loss in as many starts, Veteran Hugh Barlow paced the Pats offensive with a hat-trick per- formance, one ios in each period. Tom Tin tallleditwo and Murray visitors to a 1-1 tle but Pats added three in the middle frame and three more in the last stanza to wipe out any chances the Mohawks had of winning their first victory.

Fielding was not the nickname, but the given first name, of Fielder Allison Jones, centrefielder of the Chicago White Sox of 1006, the renowned "Hitless Wonders." LL Jones covered his centrefield post with an eagle eye and a good right arm that was as acturate as it was strong. Very few balls got by him, His speed and grace made him one of the best-remembered fielders ever to hit the big leagues.
