Dominating every 'discussion and the major reason the Argoes are quoted 2-1 favorites and high- er--is the name of big Joe Krol, but sometimes there is mention of a dusky giant, one of those un- sung linemen, who may prove his nemesis, He is George Edwards, the hus- ky, speedy negro from Kentucky State University who came to the Ontario Rugby Football Union team via Montreal Alouettes. Edwards burst into the Beach lineup late in the season, and since his coming nothing seems to have gone wrong for Toronto's Cinderella boys. Toronto. Nov, A third-place team in the re-|of gular schedule, they upset Tor-|race onto Indians 12-7 in the opening play-off round and repeated 13-b, over Hamilton Wildcats. Both these teams, who finished tied for the top, had trounced the Beach mercilessly twice in early schedu- led matches. If Krol were discounted, the tendency would be to rate these two teams about evenly. The big triple-threat halfback threw the two touchdown passes that beat the Beach, 14-2, when the same nal. If anything, the Beach ap- peared to have added the most strength since then, ing last night--no scrimmages but some signal drills and throw- ing the ball around. ' The Beach stressed forward pass defence, the same sequences ac they sought to line up protection against the slingshot arm of Joe Krol. That workout emphasized the challengers expect the tkreat to come through the air and from Krol, Throughout the tough big four season, no team proved able to stop the big. half- back from Windsor. When the chips were down dnd there was little to indicate the Beach could. But if they do, and if any one player does it, the logical man seems the burly, hard-charging Edwards.

Stan Musial Wins Valuable Player Award 2nd Time New York, Nov. 22--(AP)--Stan- scoring | ley Frank Musial, stellar first base- man of the world champion St. Louis Cardinals and his league's batting king with a .365 average, today was named the National League's most valuable player in 1946.% In winning baseball's most covet- ed prise for the second time in his brief four-year major league career, the Donora, Pa. clouter who only yesterday celebrated his 26th birth- day, received the highest total of points ever accorded any player since the present rating was adopt- ed in 1938. Musial, who also was voted most valuable in 1943 with 267 points, polled a total of 319 points in the 1 4 balloting by a 24-man committee of the Baseball Writers' Association of America. The previous high received by any player was 305, garnered by Jimmy Foxx in 1938 while a member of the Boston Red Sox. The previous National League high was earned by Bucky Walters of the Cincinnati Reds who polled .303 in 1939. Musial received 22 of the 24 first place votes of the two remaining writers, one placed him second and the other ninth. Lefty Oscar Judd of Ingersoll, Ont, Philadelphia Phillies' star hurler, received one vote for 10th place. Second place went to Brooklyn's Dixie Walker, the "people's cherce," whose 159 points made him the poorest runner-up in the last nine years. The Dodgers' popular vet- eran rightfielder, whose .323 batting average and 116 runs batted in al- most brought Brookly= its first pen- nant since 1941, did not receive a first place vote, but was second choice on nine ballots. Outfielder Enos Slaughter and southpaw pitcher Howie Pollet, both members of the Cards, were third and fourth respectively. Slaughter, whose spectacular dash from first all the way home in the seventh and final game won the World Series for the Cards, received the only two first place votes not al- loted to Musial. The stockily-built rightfielder received 144 points. He batted an even .300 during the reg- ular season and was the runs batted in king with 128. Pollet, whose 21 victories made him the "winningest" pitcher in the league, was the only other player to get more than 100 points. He received 116. Fifth place went to righthanded pitcher Johnny Sain of the Boston Braves, only other 20- game winner in the circuit.

T. D. Thomas Named Head Lawn Bowlers Tommy Thomas, last year's vice- president of the Oshawa Lawn Bowling Club, was last night elected president of the club at the annual fall meeting' and banquet held at Adelaide House. Before a large gathering of ard- ent lawn bowlers, the trophies for the season were awarded and offi- cers elected. The new members of the executive consist of Mr. Tho- mas, and first vice-president, W. A. Dewland," second vice-president, Walter Kilburn, treasurer, Thomas Johns, secretary, Alf Metcalfe, chairman of the open committee, Jack Biddulph, and secreary of that '| committee, George Reid. There were eight double prise- winners among this year's group. The Alger Memorial Trophy, given by the Alger family in memory of their father was preseated by Ewart Alger to the winning rink, skipped Ben Ward. Others in his crew re John Thompson, Bill Dewland and Lorne James. In the doubles competition, the Pierson-White Trophy was present- ed by Bill Pierson to the winners, Norman Winter and Fred Larm- outh, Mr. Plerson said that he and Mr. White had placed the cup in competition 10 years ago to encour- age play in the doubles and was still shooting for it himself. Jack Hunter won the Farewell Trophy in the singles and was pre- sented with the cup by last year's winner and late club president Jack Biddulph. There was no trophy for the winners of the trebles, but the cash prizes went to Morley Wyman and his crew, Ewart Clemence and Freddy Larmouth. George Reid told the members that in appreciation of what the Oshawa Lawn Bowling Club had meant to him and of how he felt towards it, he was going to donate a cup or trophy next year, to what- ever contest the new executive should decicde upon. Bob Duff sug- gested that George's offer of a cup should be accepted to be used for the trebles competition, Among the reports heard was the financial statement which showed a net balance of $774.88 as opposed to last year's balance of $78.55. However is was pointed out that $619.15 of this was due to the gen- erosity of the Ladies Club which had turned this sum over the club. George Reld moved that a special letter of sincere thanks be sent to the ladies for this move. The report of Bill Pierson, chair- man of the membership committee, showed that they had fallen 17 per- sons short of their objective of 100 members the past season and urged all members to try and get out new men, at least to the number of 25. George Reld reporting for the open tournament committee said that he believed "that a record profit for open tournaments has been made," and that all in all a very successful tournament had been held here last season. Chairman of the greens commit- tee told the members that the greens had been dressed and fertil- ized and should be in perfect con- dition for next year. He credited the good weather this summer for the exeellence of the greens for the tournament. Before presenting the list of new officers selected by the nominating committee, the chairman of that body, Dr, Stan Phillips, told of the 36 letters he had received from out- siders expressing their gratitude for the fine work done in the General Motors Gold Cup tournament and he said that he wanted General Motors to know how much their | prizes and generosity had been appreciated by one and all. Retiring president, Jack Biddulph, was presented with a fine gift by the members of the club and the meeting was thrown open for dis- cussion. After much argument back and forth, it was moved and passed that a committee of five--Ben Ward, S. Storie, Ed Bradley, Fred Cochrane and Dr. Stan Phillips-- be set up to investigate and report to the club on the question of future possibilities and planning for the organization. Another well-debated subject was the play-off system used by the club and it was finally decided 21- 20 that the present system of using drawn teams .be maintained, rather than do away with play-offs alto- gether, It was also moved and pass- ed that a definite date will be set for club games--rinks, trebles or doubles--and that no deviations be made from this. Regarding the scor- ing system in the Gold Cup play it was decided that George Reid | should contact the outside rinks who were competing and get their opinion as to whether the aggre- gate or the plus and minus method of scoring was preferable. A sick committee composed of Bill Gould, Bill Jackson and Tommy Thomas was formed to visit mem- bers who are ill and to inform the members when their fellows were sick, MEANING CHANGED The word hose originally meant breeches reaching only to the knee. Elected President Tommy Thomas, elected president of the Oshawa Lawn Bowlers Club at last night's meeting, has been a member of the club for many years and was on the executive last year. Basketball Has Outgrown Peach Basket Stage By IAN MacNEIL Canadian Press Staff Writer Toronto, Nov. 22 -- (CP) -- Doc Naismith would stand aghast these nights could he only see how the game he started with peach baskets has come along until now, as a new professional sport in his own Do- minion, basketball seems assured of a permanent place on the nation's Big Time sports calendar. Showing now in Maple Leaf Gar- dens under professional auspices for the first time in Canada, basketball is drawing crowds of 5000 or so. Moguls of the game say they're satisfied the game will draw still more fans. And Dr. James A, Naismith of Carleton Place, Ont, who started basketball in the gymnasium of a Springfield, Mass., Y.M.C.A. to keep his youthful students in trim, would never know the game now. Its adoption in the United States and development into a. pro sport drawing more than 90,000,000 spec- tators a year, has brought changes aplenty since those peach crate days of 1891. Toronto Huskies, only Canadian entry in the Basketball Association of America, is responsible for pulling the hardwood sport out of the com- munity gym class. Toronto's average of 5,000 fans a game compares favorably with un- official averages for single games in larger United States cities. Chicago is averaging 15,000 a game followed by New York with 10,000. Providence, St. Louis and Cleveland are' slightly outdrawing Toronto, piay De crowds than ams in ur, Philadelphia or Boston. i on Meanwhile preparations are un- derway on the Pacific Coast for the opening of another pro league with Vancouver the only Canadian entry, Promoters are watching the experi- ment in the east with keen interest.

Boucher Clutching For Straws In Wind Canadian Press Staff Writer S From the sinking New York Rangers, a hurry-up call went out today to manager Frankie Bouch er to grab a few straws -- but quick--in his scouting tour for talent to bolster the National Hockey League tail-enders, Rangers, beaten 3-1 by Red Wings at Detroit last night, may not have put it in words but the urgency was written in their rec- ord, That loss marked their eighth winless game in a row--a record for consistency unsurpas sed even by the winning ways of the leading Toronto Maple Leafs. "What can you do? Nobody will even sell you any players," was Boucher's oft-repeated come plaint before™leaving New York early in the week to look over po- tential candidates in American league cities. That complaint drew retorts from Manhattan sportswriters particular, that the Rangers ap- peared a little shy with the dol- lar. For too long, it was charged, Rangers fattened. on their farm empire, When the talent pool drained low, the Rangers lacked the knowledge or inclination to make deals that might lift them from the depths. ; Whether some liberal spending by Boucher on this trip will re- fute the charge remains to be seen, but at leapt tae scouting tour kept him away from another beating last night, Neil Colville, veteran defence man, was bench manager at De- troit as Blueshirts gave goalie Harry Lumley of Wings na soft touch with only 15 shots to hand- le, At the opposite end, goalie Chuck Raynor was kept hopping by 28 Detroit thrusts. For the first period, Rangers looked good when Church Russell fired them into a goallead but Roy Conacher got his back in the second. The final period saw Ad- am Brown notch a pair of tallies that decided the issue. THE BIG SEVEN By The Canadian Press First and second place in the Nation al Hockey League scoring race became an all-Detrolt affair after' last night's Billy (The Kid) Taylor notched an assist to boost his total to seven goals and 14 assists for 21 points while C 0! 'h Roy Pp in a goal to break a tie with Maurice Rich- ard, Montreal, and move into sole possession of second berth with eight goals and nine ists.
