Not too much is known about the Kitchener entry, except that as usual the roster is liberally sprinkled with names reminiscent of their strong teams of a few seasons back, such as Pant.sr, Bauer, Kreiger, Wildfong, Becker, Wendorf and Peiper. It will be the first time that two Legion entries have met this season, Friday's game being postponed ow- ing to ice not being available in Galt for the scheduled game, With a keen club rivalry assured, and the game the last scheduled home inter- mediate fixture until after the New ear, it is expected that the largest | : d of the season to date will be : on hand. ; H a oat, | iH # fore they relax '« fistic exchange Hamilton Pats Rally to Defeat Toronto Seniors Hamilton, Dec. 21--(CP)--After spotting Toronto Staffords a goal at the end of the first period, Hamil- ton Patricias came to life with a ? burst of scoring power that gained them an 8-4 victory last night and | left them sharing second place in 4. the Ontario Hockey Association's senior "A" division with the visit- ors.

Sudbury, Dec. 20.--(CP)--Presi- dent Max Silverman said today the Northern Ontario Hockey Associa- tion had mot demanded that O.H.A. clubs pay cash for players plucked from North:rn teams but if clubs concerned deal directly "that's up to thei." Commenting on a Toronto report that the N.O.H.A. demands payment to its clubs for release of players to other leagues, Silverman said that the Association received a cheque from Barrie Colts Juniors but re- turned it. (In a letter to Britt Jessup, Sports Editor of the North Bay Nugget, N.O.H.A. Secretary Bob Crosby said "In future, there definitely will be a payment for transfer of any of these players to Junior 'A' Clubs"). "I think it's a good idea that clubs that do a lot to develop a player should get something out of it," said Silverman. "But the N.O. H.A. is not making money deals for players." Barrie's Coach Admits Paying N.0.H.A. Transfers Barrie, Dec. 21--(CP)--Any doubt that northern Ontario hoc- key teams received payment for some players. who moved to,other parts, vanished yesterday when coach Happy Emms of Barrie Fly- | oaw ers juniors said his club paid $100 each for five northern puck- sters. Emms confirmed a statement by Max Silverman, président of the N.O.H.A. in Sudbury that a cheque tendered the Association by the Barrie club had been re- turned, but added that before Barrie could obtain releases from the N.O.H.A, for five northern players, payments of $100 each were made to five clubs concern- Heale of Sudbury'and Lal'rance of Nort Bay had been released "for free," Emms said but before Barrie could ice a team, $100 cheques were dispatched to north- ern clubs for Gilly St, Pierre of Schumacher; Favero of Timmins; Aikens of Porcupine; Lecour of North Bay and Barrett of Kirk- land Lake. When the Stratford Kroehlers opened the season against the Flyers here in the Junior A O.H. A. series, they were unable to use Sammy Cassanato and Matt Mes- ich of Porcupine Combines be- cause the N.O.H.A, had not issu- ed necessary releases. When an unstated sum was paid to the Por- cupine Club the players joined the Kroehlers, In his Sudbury statement Sil- verman took exception to a Tor- onto report that the N.O.H.A. de- mands payments to its clubs for release of players to other lea- gues, He said no such demand had been made but {if clubs concerned deal directly "that's up to them."

The Windy City boys are currently bogged down in the cellar four points behind the Detroit Red Wings and New: York Rangers who are tied for fourth place. The Chicagoans have proved easy meat for the Queen City boys this season so far. In six engagements the Leafs have beaten the Hawks five times while losing only once.

It took five years for the Har- lem stringbean to get his shut at the 147-poun? bausle --live years while the v clterweight champions gave him plenty of that blank stare and he had to go roaming around knocking over assorted ear-scramblers of various shapes and sizes, and wait for the big one, And when he finally got the ticket to the title taffy-pull last night, he arrived in Madison Spuare Garden with a 16-rouud decision over Tommy Bell to take the championship Marty Servo ab- dicated when he retired with an aching nose in September. But those five years of waiting --during which he had 76 fights, won 78, lost one (to a middle- weight) and tied another--ap- parently took something out of the sugar man that he isn't going to get back. He showed against Tommy that some of the fire has gone out, This isn't taking a thing away from Tommy the thumper, mind you, because the swatter out of Youngstown. Ohio, was a fancy fighting man in there last night, and a crowd of 15,670 customers who paid $82,948 liked him, Some even booed the decision, al- though it was unanimous and the Associated Press score card made it eight rounds for Ray, five for Tommy and two even. Bell laid an assortment of ldrge left hooks on Sugar Ray's whisk- erg that did the Harlem hammer no good at all, And one of them even dumped Robinson for a sev- en-count in the second round.
