Daddy of all the Bowl games--The Rose Bowl or tournament of Roses at Pasadena--has an interesting 'his- tory that dates back to 1889 when Roman Chariot races and floral displays and not football formed the theme of the day . . . The Floral celebration was inaugurated that year after an enterprising Pasade- na resident, who witnessed the Car- nival of Flowers at Nice, France and was impressed, decided it was just the thing for his community . . . The first Football contest was played at Pasadena in 1902 when the Tournament of Roses Associa- tion suggested an East-West game to entertain the spectators who came to see the city's winter dis- play of flowers ...

The loop also bettered its previous low- est error total from 1,312 to 1,260. From.an individual fielding view- point, the circuit's all-star infield included two Cardinals, Al (Red) Schoendienst and George (Whitey) Kurowski. Schoendiset topped the second basemen with a mark of .984, and Kurowoski headed the third ST. LOUIS CARDS WERE BEST basemen with 1 The most remarkable fielding was turned in 'by Frank McCormick of the Philadel phia Phillies, who led all first base- men with a record percontacs of 600. He participated in 134 games and made only one error in 1,48: to better the old mark of made by Walter Holke, Boston ) Kerr of the New IN FIELDING TOO to tie Eddie Miller's major league mark of .983 set in 1942. Kerr finished 'the season with an unbroken string of 52 consecutive errorless games, surpassing the mark of 51 compiled by Leo Dur- ocher, of the 1931 Cincinnati Reds. Kerr also wound up with an un- broken string of 286 consecutive er- rorless chances, eclipsing the old mark of 251 held by Miller with the 1940 Boston Braves. Ray Mueller of the Reds, who headed the catchers with 944, ex- tended his league consecutive game record for receivers to 223 by cat- ching his team's first 16 games. Chicago's Johnny Schmitz, with 61 errorless chances, led the pit- chers, but his teammate, Claude Passeau set two standards by going through his 283rd game before fin- ally being charged with an error May 28. His streak covered 145 consecutive games, Lonnie Frey of Cincinnati and Buddy Blattner of the Giants each tied the modern major league re- cord of 11 assists by a second base- man in a nine-inning game. LEGION STRENGTHENS 2nd SPOT HOLD Tisdall Paces Legionnaires To Oshawa Centre Figures In 5 of Team's Half- Dozen Goals -- Locals Grab 3-0 Lead in 1st Period -- Bill Mortim- er Suffers Nasty Cut Clinches It Led by Jack "Regina" Tisdall, goals, Oshawa Legionnaires handed Kitchener Legion a 6-3 defeat in a crowd-pleasing "Big Four" OH.A. Intermediate "A" fixture at the Arena last night. The occasion was "Young Canada" night and a fair number of Oshawa children took advantage of the opportunity to attend the game free with an adult. The win strengthened Oshawa's second spot in the grouping, one game -back of the league-leading Brantford Redmen and on the night's play they fully deserved their win, Tisdall Starts It Off Tisdall, who performed the "hat trick" in scoring, finally broke the jinx which Belanger appeared to have over the Oshawa snipers, when late in the first period he scored twice with Becker in the penalty box and then made the play for Barker's goal just before the siren went. The first period was of the rugged variety with Referee "Pat" Patter- son dishing out five penalties and stopping any roughness before it got out of hand. After a slow start, the secona canto really opened up after Simon scored the visitors' first goal. Osh- awa came back with pressure plays and had the score 5-1 on counters by Tisdall and Furey before the period ended. The final session was the most exciting of the game with the Kit- chener squad opening up in an ef- fort to get back into the hunt and the Oshawa team apparently will- ing to coast. Waddell held the fort until the 17 minute mark when E. Wildfong, scored from close in. Two minutes later, Czarney counted on a pass from Brown. Shaken out of their lethargy, the Legionnaires opened the game wide with Barker scoring the final goal just before the game ended. This counter was bitterly protested by Kitchener, who claimed interference on the play, but Referee Patterson refused to change his decision. Bill Mortimer Injured Bill Mortimer, was lost to the locals early in the first period when he was struck by a flying puck suf- fering a gash over the right eye. He was taken to the Oshawa Gen- eral Hospital, where four stitches were necessary to close the wound. In his absence, "Ab" Barnes did double duty and turned in his best performance of the season, being a tower of strength both ways. Tisdall, Barker and White also turned in sparkling efforts while Waddell was his usual steady self in the nets, Belanger, in goal for Kitchener, turned in a sparkling performance, while R. Wildfong and Becker gave him good protection up front. On the forward line, E., Wildfong, Czarney and Brown stood out. The Kitchener team gave promise of de- veloping as the season progresses, their passing plays failing to click until late in the game. A well dressed outfit, they showed a fine team spirit with a willingness to mix it with all comers. STANDINGS O.H.A. JUNIOR "A" PW St.; Michael's Oshawa ve Marlboros oat... Stratford Barrie ..

(By JACK DORIE) Old St. Nick propped his feet up on his little pot-bellled stove and gently rocked back and forth, It was mighty cold at the North Pole even though the fire burned red and crackled merrily. St. Nick him- self, however, wasn't quite so merry. No sir, he had a mighty worried expression on his wrinkled old face. "Now who have I forgotten?" he kept muttering. "I know I've missed someone." " Suddenly Santa stopped and a smile crept from ear to ear. "Why bless me, I haven't given the Osh- awa Ski Club their yearly quota of snow." As his face lighted up he wasted not a minute. He filled his huge snow bag full to the brim. In a twinkling he was off through the nite, His friends could hear him whistling and shouting with glee +n Donner, on Blitzen--on to Rag- an." Now there was a method in San- ta's madness. Not only did he lay down a glistening carpet of white --but he stayed over to watch the fun. And what fun there was. Over on the Practice Hill a ski could be seen shooting down all by. its lonesome. Not far behind a fig- ure frantically shot one leg skyward as if to wave goodbye. Then plunged into the snow. Halfway up the same hill, instructor Ben Fallman melted the snow with his tears. "Keep your feet together" he pleaded with his pupils." But it was no ise. Only bow legs rode the "bucking broncho boards". On Ben's Bumps a grace- ful figure started downward. A leg wobbled slightly. Then both legs wobbled. In a flash, ski poles, legs, skiis, two arms and a body made a whirling pinwheel. The snowy "pin- wheel" even gurgled and moaned as it hit the bumps, Yes sir there was many a stiff, hungry, wornout, but happy skier to keep Santa's "belly like a bowl full of jelly". Next week in order to make-with- the-energy the canteen should be going full blast. The aroma of hot- dogs, coffee and hot chocolate will coax many a skier into a few min- utes siesta. So that everyone may enjoy this luxury, a De Nure Bus will leave the Gray Coach Term- inal at 12:15 sharp. It will return later in the afternoon giving you a full day on the old timbers. Just to please "Nick" further, the Ski Club on Sunday was as colorful as a Christmas tree. There were green shirts, yellow caps, red gloves, and blue scarfs contrasting with the shiny white snow. However, the new metal membership badges stood out most of all as they glistened on windbreakers and sweaters. Have you got yours yet? Incidentally there was plenty of talk about the informal Ski Club dance to be held on the 26th. The social committee under Ron Wilson has secured thé Yacht Club for the big occasion. Remember we sald informal. Plaid shirts, slacks and slippers will be the order of the evening. The dance starts at 8:30 p.m. on Thursday--the day after you dine on turkey and. cranber- ries. We'll sure be looking for you at the Yacht Club. There will be plenty to eat Well as the first real Sunday of "hill climbing" wore on, enthusias- tic skiers became mighty tired. The hills become longer and tougher. The sun slanted in the west and clouds gathered overhead. Santa yawned, gave a final hearty laugh and waved goodbye. The little groups gathered around the warmth of the Club House were startled to hear him shout "A Merry .Christ- { mas to all and to all a goodnite", GOOD START SAM'S WITH Wilder oF THE MIAMI OPEN GoLF AOURNAMEAT, OFF 6 A Goo START FOR "6° MONEY Holors FOR TNE WINTER $2,000 CciReut 10P PURSE AT MAMI | BooStEp IS YEARS WN EARNINGS 10 # 18 341.57. \ BEN HOGAN 1S Tors # 42,556.16 v Joe 'King' Krol Is Acclaimed Canada's Best By WILLIAM H. DUMSDAY Canadian Press Staff Writer Toronto, Dec. 24.--(CP)--Four- year-old Dickie Krol stretched in his crib today, unenthused because his daddy--football's Joe (King) Krol--had been chosen as Canada's Outstanding Athlete of 1046. Santa Claus would get Dickie's vote, even over daddy, if that football he asked for, is under the Christmas tree to- mOITow. But among the 10-year-olds and up there wasn't a protest against the decision of Sport Writers across Canada in crowning Krol, backfield star of the Dominion Champion Argonauts. The lazy-looking back- fielder received 59 of a possible 75 votes, in a poll conducted by The Canadian Press, Seldom has an athlete rated such acclaim, with 14 of 26 participating writers giving Krol their first of three choices. Henry Martell of Ed- monton, Canadian Amateur Golf Champion, placed second with 15 votes, three more than received by Bill Durnan, Goalie of Montreal Canadiens, World Hockey Cham- pions. Usually A Gridder It's difficult to figure anybody be- sides Krol to head the poll as he's Canada's finest footballer and that's the game which produces most of Sport's glamor boys. Maybe it's because other pastimes are not so fresh in their memories when the writers vote, but in the last four polls, interrupted by war, grid- iron greats headed the list three times. \ Rul topped all scorers in Canada he led Argos through a tough |p, season, climaxed by the successful News ond Views IN THE Industrial Loop By SIDELINER Bowers and Robson; in the Big Six; were the first teams to come to the front in that section with the service station boys dispens- ing with G.M. Parts at Whitby by a score of 6-3. Milt Fountain a very hard guy to nail in. one spot; was unavailable; so just who were the big guns is not known. How- ever; Max Rockert. Fred Bid- good and Bill Rahman tallied for the losers, The Tannery boys took. Monarchs 4-1 at the Arena here, Ray Pleau's pluggers were never threatened accor. ding to the scoring summary. After a scoreless first period; Robson's Maga and Logeman each tallied once; with as- sists going to Randall and Crandall. They stretched the lead to 4 in the third when Pallister and Logeman each netted counters. Assists went to Crandall and Carey. Monarchs, playing with light re-inforcements, averted a shutout when Arndld scored on a pass from Stark. In the second section, Fittings fell victims to G.M. Office and the pen-wielders walked off with the verdict 5-1. Graham bagged two; Locke; Pete Makarchuk and Whitsett netting the other three. Walters earned an assist on the morning's play. Fittings; also; managed to avert a goose-egg when McIntyre slapped one home assisted by James, . Alger Press came through handsomely to topple West- on Aircraft 6-0 in a Whitby encounter, From all reports the game was a blood-and. thunder affair 'which saw several penalties dishéd out. Don Stauffer and SiBlock led the pressmen's attack; the former getting through for three tallies and the lat- ter for two. Goulding got the other counter. In addi. two assists. with brother Wilson also coming in for a pair. Weston's goal getters were Bruce Gerrard and X. Bradley. Jerome Gignac earned himself a major for boarding; which seems to make him the league bad man in the youthful season. No doubt his efforts will be sur- passed. Maintenance chalked up the first shut out of the season by taking Bolahood's by a 5-0 score, From what we can make of the score sheet; the scoring was as follows, Tyson bagged two; Wat- son; McArthur and Twining, As. sist getters were Elliott; two; Watson; Jackson; Smith and Wiltshire, each one, It seems there was some grief over the referee situa- tion at Whitby but this mat- ter has been fairly well straightened out now and whistle tooting won't have to be handled by other than league appointees. Butch Dy- as handled the games at the Arena heré, and kept things under control, We hope and pray the ice will stay in at Whitby, and that it will be possible to schedule two games there this Saturday, in addition to three other games here over the coming week-end. Announce- ments as to who plays who will appear in Friday's issue. Mean- while, should any team desire early morning practice hours at Whitby on Saturdays they are not scheduled to play; will they please get in touch with the exe. cutive immediately. Enough for now; except to mention that we have still a few hours left for Christmas shop- ping; and; brother; we need 'em. Meanwhile; Merry Crristmas -- and watch yer diet, NOW HOCKEY MEN TO HOLD MEETING Middleton, N.S., Dec. 23.--(CP)-- Hanson Dowell, President of the Canadian Amateur Hockey Associa- tion, said today a meeting to de- cide whether Canada would send a representative to the Internation al Ice Hockey Federation Congress, in Prague, would be held in To- ronto, Dec. 27 and 28. As far as he knew no officials would be attending the Feb. 15 meeting in Prague as no Canadian team 'would be taking part in the matches. However, the final de- cision will be made at the Toronto meeting. : INDIA BUILDS LABORATORIES New Delhi--(CP)--Four national laboratories are to be built in India at an estimated cost of $3,999,600, They will consist of a metallurgical laboratory, a chemical and a physi- cal laboratory, and a fuel research of The Grey Cup against Winnipeg Blue Bombers. The 27- year-old backfielder did everything -run, punt, place kick, pass and receive passes--a quintuple threat. Born in Hamilton, of Polish ex- traction, Windsor at six months and once he became old enough to pull on mole~ skins, moved about the province trading on his gridiron ability. Likes The Argos He attended University of West- ern Ontario and tried out with De- troit's Professional Lions before he joned the Argos last year. He'll likely receive other pro offers but you'll probably find the 210-pound- er hereabouts when the first whistle blows next fall, Krol turned down more money to play with another Eastern Club last fall because he thought Argos were "a nice bunch of guys." Just what makes Krol tick in such a big way he doesn't know himself, but his main secrets seem Joe became a citizen of | Ste: "The Rocket" Still Leads N.H.L Race Montreal, Dec. 24 -- (CP)~-- Maurice (The Rocket) Richard" shifty Montreal Canadiens righiy winger, continues to lead the Na- ' tional Hockey League individual scoring race with a total of 30 points, league statistics released today revealed.
