George Carson of of the St. Louis Flyers Hockey Club, that Charlie Conacher, 38, Toronto broker and former hockey all-time great, has made a verbal agreement and will go to St. Louis on Jan. 12 (that's the Sunday the Generals are back from Brandon) to discuss a contract which will be drawn up fer next season and Conacher, the report states, is expected -to sign. Meanwhile, Bob Davidson, also of Toronto Leafs' fame, is coaching St. Louis now, for the bal of this Whether or not there is anything definite to this business, can not be confirmed, by the Oshawa Hockey Club, since so far, no conver- sation regarding next scason's plans, has been held with anybody. However, the affiliation of the Oshawa Hockey Club with Maple Leaf Gardens definitely does nét mean that Toronto Leafs or Gardens will name the fuiure coach of the Oshawa Generals, although, their suggestions may well be received here with favorable consideration. " * * L O:hawa Lo2zionnzires handed Brantford Redmen a 7-4 reverse here at th: Oshawa Arena last night before a fair crowd. It was the first las of the schedule for the Bell Telephone City residents and put the Iczal Legion team within one game of tying the Redmen for top spot In ths I.'sr, "I" OHA, group race. Legionnaires had to fight to win and show:cd plenty of spirit, coming from behind twice. Robin Hewson was a near-hero for the visitors with two quick goals in the 3rd period but "Ab" Barnes returned from the penalty box and promptly scored tix winning goal cn a colo jaunt and then made the plays for a couple of breakaway goals to cinch the verdict for the homesters. It was a hard, fast and well-played game with Oshawa getting four of the five penalties meted out. Legion deserved their win and had to earn it, wit: Waddell, Mortimer, Furey, Barker, and all the others sharing in the honors of the game. [Legionnaires go up to Galt on Friday night, whore theyll be playing against Kitchener in a scheduled tilt, their first meeting of the season, ov Geo. H. Campbell +» * * "Chick" Appel of Stratford was very perturbed on Saturday about his Bevehlers losing to St. Catharines and he even warned the boys go into Windsor with the idea that they had that one already > ON And look what happened, 4-0, for Windsor Spitfires, their first victory of the season. If it wasn't that practically every team in the circuit is displaying Christmas jitters, we'd begin to wonder whether or not all is right in the Stratford Jr, camp. Losing a game to St. Catharines' Falcons (mostly Juveniles) and then drop- ping an important 4-point game in Windsor, certainly isn't consistent with the power and hockey ability displayed by Kroehlers on their visit to Oshawa. Could it be that now that 'December 15th has passed, we are going to see more upheavals. "Chicks" thinks that Kroehlers are the problem pucksters of the loop and calls 'em "in- and-outers". Laurie Brain, Galt sports scribe thinks Oshawa Gen- erals the toughest to figure--and his opinion is likely no clearer after that Saturday night game here either. a * RA . Having had two bad games in succession, perhaps Kroehlers will come up with one of their best tomorrow night, when the Generals visit Btratford. Here against Galt on Saturday night, we had still another display at Oshawa's eccentric play. Leo. Curik finally came up with a game that smacked of his last year's form and scored three goals and assisted Cerisino on the winning tally. Ray Cerisino was to the fore with three assists and the winning goal. This line was the best of the night. Pogue back with Lowe and Scholes, according to all reports. spent most of his energy arguing and showed little good hockey. Phil Samis turned in a very mediocre display but "Baldy" McKay came up with a fine performance. No fooling, if the Generals ever get together and have an "on night" all at the same time, there's going to be some lvely action. They get two chances for such a timely display, this week, going to Stratford tomorrow night and playing in Galt on Saturday. * + LJ J Britt Jessup, North Bay sports scribe, lifted the lid on what may prove only a teapot tempest but what could be quite something, when he came up over the week-end with a story intimating that cer- tain Southern Ontario clubs- (Stratford and Barrie are specifically Jean) "bought" players from Porcupine Combines and Kirkland and even gives figures for the sums of money al- ed to have been paid for the services of these "Junior amateurs". If they ever get around to admitting or proving these "rumours" that was paid for the release of 8 ord's Casanto and Meisch and $400 for Bill Barrett of Barrie, then will be mighty interesting reading, especially for those gullibles who still think in terms of . "amateur" sport. Perhaps they could find out if Young Rangers re- ceived anything for Drysdale's release to Stratford too. You know-- if one could believe all this, one could also get the idea that perhaps they are running a little short by now up Stratford way. Could that be the reason for losing two in succession to such alleged inferior opposition? If half of the rumours flying are true, then our Junior hockey circuit is going to soon be ig da "professional". LJ SPORT SHORTS: -- Hamilton Bats lost at home last night to the 8.

Intermediate "A" grouping when they handed Brant- ford Redmen a 7-4 defeat in a spectacular contest at the Oshawa Arena last night. The games was a thriller from start to finish, with "Buzz" Cock- burn and "Rube" Waddell turning in outstanding performances as both teams held the throttle wide open in an effort to score. In handing the league-leaders ( their first defeat of the season, Le- gionnaires outshot the "Telephone City" crew, piled up a two goal lead only to have Robin Hewson put on a one-man exhibition to tie the game up with two goals in 16 sec- onds early in the last period. Barnes' Goal Does It With the Redmen pressing with effective power plays, as Oshawa twice played a man shy, Waddell rose to the heights while "Ab" Barnes starred as he fought his way up the ice to score the winning goal and then make the plays for two more in the dying minutes of the game. Legionnaires started out by pour- ing rubber at Cockburn but just could not beat the starry Brantford netminder. The Redmen took the lead near the fifteen minute mark when "Scotty" Linn scored on Campbell's pass as "Ab" Barnes rested in the sin-bin-for a slight case of elbowing. With Bill Mor- timer in the penalty box, in the final m.aute of play, Furey broke away and Cliff Hinton tied up the game when he pushed Doug's re- bound into the open net. Tom Murphy put Oshawa ahead when he blasted "Gar" Peters pass- out through a maze of players dur- ing a mad scramble in the Brant- ford zone, The lead was shortlived however as Linn scored his second goal of the night three minutes later when he pushed Campbell's pass through Waddell's pads. The Le- gionnaires then dominated the play with "Wart" Barker scoring on a pretty play with Barnes and then Andy McMullen, from Tisdall, counting jst before the period ended. Nursing a two goal iead Oshawa appeared certain of victory until Hewson changed the whole setup by scoring twice within 16 seconds, get- ting into the clear both times to give Waddell no chance. Barnes went off on a cheap pen- alty and when the husky rearguard returned he really started to roll, scoring what proved to be the win- ning goal at the eleven minute mark when he banged in Regina Tisdall's pass. With Mortimer in the penalty box, Brantford stormed the Oshawa net but Waddell was unbeatable. In the dying minutes, with the Redmen pressing hard, Oshawa twice got into the clear with Barnes making the breaks, Tisdall getting the first and Barker the second counter to salt the game safely away. Tisdall and Barnes, with a goal and 3 assists each and Barker, with two goals and an assist, sparked the Oshawa offensive, while the team as a whole turned in by far its best perfcrmance of the season. Linn, Hewson, Campbell and Smith starred for the Redmen, who despite their defeat turned in a strong effort that amply demons- trated why they are leading the league. "Bud" Henry Loses His Toronto Bout Toronto, Dec. 17 -- (CP) -- Pete Zaduk of Toronto at 147 pounds knocked out Peterborough's Jackie Dugan, 160 pounds, after one min- ute, 50 seconds of the first round of their main bout at catchweights in an amateur boxing card at Mas- sey Hall last aight before a crowd of 2,200 Overshadowing the main bout was the semi-final in which the judge's decision of a draw between Dave Mitchell, Toronto, and Rudy Pas- quale, Toronto, at 122 pounds, brought enraged shouts from the crowd.

St. Catharines Win Again Over Hamilton Jrs. By The Canadian Press A couple of in-and-out teams look- ed like world-beaters in winning their O.H.A. games last night as Toronto Staffords seniors ana St. Catharines Falcons juniors same through with form reversals from their last appearances to score lep- sided victories. St. Catharines, who looked any- thing but impressive in dropping a 7-0 verdict to St. Michael's majors on Saturday, ran up their highest score of the season jn topping Hamilton Szabos 10-5 in the Moun- tain City while Staffords, still smarting from a 5-0 drugging at the hands of Hamilton Tigers last Wednesday, applied a little white- wash of their own in taming Strat- ford Indians 6-0 at Maple Leal Gardens. Fran Imonti drove home three goals to spark Staffords' drive in- to undisputed possession of second place in the five-team senior group. Lloyd Roubell, Jack Stafford and Gord Ball were the other scorers. Eleven penalties, all minors, were awarded and not a little of Staf- fords' success was due to their abil- ity to score three goals while the opposition was short-handed. In Hamilton, the Szabos managed to keep up with the unwontedly powerful Falcons for two periods, trailing by only a single goal at the start of the final frame. Then they fell apart and the visitors slipped five goals past Bob Decourcy again- st a single Hamilton counter. Bob Wood and Junior McDonald led the scoring parade for the win- ners with three tallies apiece and Bob Twaddle was close behind with a pair. Mann and Buschnel got the others. . Pierre Cadieux scored twice for the losers with Hogan, Prieux and Wysynski getting singletons. The Victory boosted Falcons past the idle Toronto Young Rangers into eighth place In the 10-team circuit, two points short of the seventh-place Szahbos. Both leagues are idle tonight but swing into action Wednesday when the league-leading Hamilton Tigers meet the third-place Hamilton Pats in a senior clash, Oshawa Generals play at Stratford and Toronto Marlboros visit Barrie in a pair of Junior tilts.

Toronto Huskies Trade Sadowski Cleveland Rebels Toronto, Dec. 17 -- (CP) -- Tor- onto Huskies and Cleveland Rebels have been carrying on player nego- tiations these last few days and have come up with the result -- Big Ed Sadowski and Ray Wertis go to the Rebels for the services of Leo Mogus and Dick Schultz, plus an undisclosed amount of money. Managing Director of the Huskies, Lew Hayman, made the announce- ment early today, suggesting that | powassan further deals may be pending. Mogus, high scoring centre and bye) Schultz, who plays either forward or guard will make the sweater- switch in tonight's game when Cleveland plays host to the Toronto 00 | outfit. Sadowski, one of the Basketball Association of America loop's lead- ing scorers when he quit the Tor- onto team after a game here Nov. 20, has been on the auction block since then, Toronto, since losing Sadowski, has been looking for a "Bucketman" and may find just that in Mogus, a 205-pounder who stands near the top in League scoring. Wertis, who plays mostly at guard position, is in his first pro-season. He captained St. Juhn's, New York 44 University team the last two seasons and is the only player to have par- ticipated in the National Basket- ball Tournament four years in a row. Schultz played at Sheboygan, Wis., last year. 0.H.A. GROUPS ARE NAMED; ALLOW IMPORTS Toronto, Dec. 17 -- (CP) -- Due to unsettled conditions, Intermedi- ate "A" clubs will be allowed three imports this season, the Ontario Hockey Association announced yes- terday. In addition, warning was issued that O.H.A. regulations would be in effect next season. Other decisions reached by the Association's newly elected executive were: barring of George Wright, Barrie, from any O.H.A. activity, or any connection with the Barrie Junior Hockey Club for 'conduct during recent games played by Bar- rie Flyers in Junior "A" series." Granted Toronto Staffords permis- sion to release Mike Janski to Stoney's of the T.H.L. major series on conditional recall basis. Dealing with the case of Del Beaumont and J. Bertwistle, who live in Georgetown and play T.H.L. major series, the executive ruled that no player in the series shall be allowed to play for an O.H.A. club In lower rating than Intermediate "A". No player, it added, of Junior age and active in the T.H.L. shall play for O.H.A, Junior series lower than "B".
