Hubba Hubba: LwbssaoLng MAYFAIR LADIES' MAJOR LEAGUE Well last Thursday night at the Mayfair Lanes the Ladies of the Major League were really in earnest when the gals banged in some grand Scores, rticularly those who Son the chic- ens. Jeannie Bradley hall a beautiful triple ¢@ 797 to take number one prize for a High triple with no handicap, while Verna Harding tossed in 728 with handicap for high triple with handicap. Elma Hunt rolled a total of 362 for high two scores with no handicap, while Sophie Snowden took the high single with no handicap by a score of 315. Nice shooting gals, There were only ten of the girls who hit the over 600 and 700 mark last night, I guess that was due to the fact that the many remarks like these "oh say I'll never eat that much again" or "too much Xmas I guess", Then a lot of this was heard "What did you get?" "Oh isn't that nice", "I got etc., ete", however, hese were the scores rolled: Jean Bradley 797, Sophie Snowden 713, Nena Meich Verna Harding 686, Jean Tutton 649, Mary Birchman 638, Zena Menzie 634 Lorraine Knight 626, Janet Peel 614, Bea Ross 608. Not too much New Year's fellows!!! By the way Viv Elliott won the Beauty ' Counsellor gris, which is donated every month y Maible Whinfield for high three scratch bowling scores. Viv had a beautiful triple of 844. Pearl's proved themselves able winners when they trounced Horwich Jewellers for a 4 to 0 win which in turn made Pearl's the winners of the second section. What's this? Meagher's took all 4 points from Mills Motors Sales? How could that be when they've only taken one point all section up unt!l last night. Well, now we've seen everything and any- thing can happen. Victors Sports & Cycle were really in there when they took 3 points from Black's Ladies' Wear, while Central Hotel Grill, and Collette Beauty Salon split the count for two points apiece.

Meagher"s Electric TOOL & DIE Our No. 1 team suffered a terrible hangover. None of the few players who turned out could roll anything that would make an impression or even a little dent. Sheer luck gave them a point by four pins just because a stubborn 5 pin wouldn't drop. Pete | Lofthouse 710 was completely wasted when all his team mates including Mat Sutton stayed well in the low 500. After a long slump the RED RAIDERS reasserted themselves and took 3 points from the KETS and 'that puts the ROCKETS into a class all by them- selves and that is at the bottom of the league. The bowling was mediocre. The BUMS put on the nicest show of the evening and should have taken 4. kie 'Spencer, still very young, but well versed in the art of bowling, took the pool! with his 336 single and no- body anywhere near him. His 791 triple was the best for the night. 2 | rolled a 96, not a bad score. The: DODGERS, leading the second section, had their lead cut down when | their captain McCabe tried to be fun | ny and rolled 98 in his first game, but | recovered in the third with 299. | Messrs.

Thirteen "out- side" entries of visiting teachers participated in the event and at its conclusion, were loud in their praise of the day's entertainment. That such a 'spiel will become an annual event for the Oshawa Club seems almost certain, following the enjoyment of yesterday's competi- tion here. Of the 13 visiting rinks of teach- ers, most of them High School and Collegiate teachers, four of the "outside" entries took home hand- i [some prizes for their prowess, the Despite the handicap of no arms, Harold A, Carlson, of Washington, D.C., has become the most amazing bowler in the country.

UNITED CHURCH ING LEAGUE Last Mondev evening saw some of the teams trying hard to change the positions of the two top teams. The Tollers and Jesters and the Hot Dogs did tle with Jesters for second place to make it more Interesting. So next Hot Dogs are. Maybe they are going to be just as hot as their name. So we shall see next week, eh? The Wood Bees took three points to put them in seventh place. Good bowling! Keep ft. up! What has happened to the Misfits? I'd ltke to see them come through with some points, They have some good bowlers on their team too. Maybe they are itaiting for the New Year to start. Maybe 1947 will bring them bet- ter luck, Here's one who is pulling for youse, Come on youse can do it.

Coffey, Fred Moss, Paul Michael and skipped by Father J. C. Pereyma, defeated R. Robinson's 12-3 in the first game, defeated H. Allan's Cobourg rink 11-7 in the second game and won 11-4 over Central Tech. of Toronto in the third game. Visitors Do Well Other prizes were won by Cam Straychan's Jarvis Collegiate four from Toronto, which won all their three games but had sterner op- position and amassed a plus total of only 12 for the three wins, Leo Ackford's 'Peterboro Pedae gogues" was high for two wins with a total of 16 while Art Louden's Central Tech rink, beaten by Father Coffey's men in the 3rd game, had won their other two previous games, for a total of 11, which was good for the 4th prizes. F. D. R. Waugh's rink from Fast- 4 ern High School of Commerce, To- ronto, won the 5th set of prizes, for 9 |high single win, with a plus of 9. This victory was worthy of special mention for not only did Freeman g | Waugh's men win over cousin Doug. | R Waugh's Oshawa Collegiate rink 11- 2 in the 3rd game of the day, to get the winning total but it mark- winning performance in as many days, on Oshawa ice. The same rink finished "in the money" in the Boxing Day Bonsplel here on Thursday and then remained in the city over night, to compete in the Teachers' Bonspiel on Friday. And to make it more interesting, yester- day's 5th set of prizes were settled on the toss of a coin, for North To- ronto's rink also had a phi of 9 for one win, but 8. J. Reynolds lost the toss. Following the afternoon draw, | the 16 rinks and a group of special |guests sat down to a fine turkey dinner. At this pleasant gathering, His Worship, Mayor Frank MoCal- lum extended an official civic wel- come to the visiting teachers and curlers. J. L. Beaton, Chairman of the Oshawa Board of Education, also tendered a warm welcome to the curling teachers and expressed the hope that such a fine medium of sportsmanship and fellowship could be made an annual event. Percy Eveleigh, 1st vice-president of the Oshawa Curling Club, also spoke briefly, expressing the pleasure of the Club in making the premises available to the teachers for their bonspiel. J. Doug.

Hitherto the Russians have play- ed a form of ice hockey peculiar to themselves, using a ball instead of a puck and playing two periods, instead of three as in the Western game, Now, Canadian hockey has been introduced and in order to popular- ize it, an All-Union Championship has been started. In Moscow alone over 3,500 play- ers took part in preliminary match- es to decide the best teams in in- clude in the All-Union competi- tion. ARE YOU HANGING UP MISTLETOE, BONSPIEL PROVES BIG SUCCESS SPORTS SCENE, x Mexican 1946 I Grab of. Players No. 1 Story | BASEBALL Editor's Note: This is the first in a series on "SPORT SCENE, 1946." Others will follow daily. By WALTER L. JOHNS Central Press Canadian Sports Editor "Baseball--America's national game -- made the front page headlines on the "Sports Scene-- 1946" almost as much as it ban- nered the sports pages of the na- tion's newspapers, There were several very impor- tant reasons, naturally, but the most important was the Mexican baseball league's grab of big- name U.S, players for skyrocket salaries and bonuses, The spring training season was still on when the name of Jorge Pasquel, wealthy owner of base- ball in the Mexican league, began to be whispered among players and writers in the sunny cities of the south and west. And then the whispers became louder and louder until the base- ball world was buzzing, Players began jumping to the land of the big money, south of the border. The New York Giants and the Dodgers were hit hard as star players such as Danny Gardella and Luis Olmo revealed they were signing on to play for Pasquel at enormous salaries, Sal Maglie and George Haus- man of the Giants were next to go. Then came the star shortstop of the St. Louis Browns, Vernon Stephens. The Owen Case Stephens changed his mind n a hurry and jumped right hack before Commissioner Happy Chandler issued an edict that any player not back by the opening of the baseball season would draw a five-year suspension, Then came the big leap of Mic- key Owen, star catcher of the Dodgers, Owen went south, chan- ged his mind, went south again and finally jumped back . again before the season was over. Came May and another exodus hit the headlines. Three of the front-line Cardinals packed their bags and crossed the Rio Grande. The three were Max Lanier, best lefthander on the Cards' pitching staff; Lou Klein, a very capable infielder, and Fred Martin, a roo- kie pitcher being counted on to help the Cards win the pennant. Following this came charges and counter-charges and threats. More players admitted they had received bids; even a sports wri- ter was accused of being a front man, This later was proven false, but the Mexican problem plagued baseball for most of the spring and summer, Murphy And The Guild Before the summer was over even Sam Breadon, president of the Cardinals, and Babe Ruth, former home run king, had gone to Mexico for visits with the Pas- quels, Bobby Feller was offered a huge sum to play in the Mexican league. Even today the Mexican base- ball question is far from dead. Recent reports indicate that Ted Williams may visit the Mexican scene, and that he had been of- fered a blank cheque to play down there. The month of April was hailed for the opening of the baseball season and the return of the big name players who had been help- ing Uncle Sam fight the war. But crowding the baseball news of games won and lost and indi- vidual performances was the en- trance of Robert Murphy, a Bos- ton lawyer, on to the stage with his American Baseball Guild. It was the first attempt to organize the baseball players. New Contract The guild idea spread and many players admitted they had receiv- ed lterature, Some showed an in- terest. By June Murphy claimed he had enough Pittsburgh Pirates' players interested to call for a showdown with the baseball club. Pittsburgh officials met with Murphy and as a result an elect- ion was held.. The players voted before a night game on guild af- filiation and a strike, The vote was overwhelmingly against the guild and the Pirates played ball, Murphy's idea and agitation however, led to another revolu- tionary move in baseball---player representation on contract nego- tiations. Each club selected their repre- sentatives and met separately to frame their demands on minimum pay, training epenses and other items. Finally, committees were named and the' committees met with league and club officials and drew up a new player con- contract which includes many changes favoring the player. Brecheen Series Hero As for baseball itself, it was a spectacular year, The pennant races were thril- ling. The Red Sox walked away with the American league flag, 2 baseball history for 1946 with no-hit games. Young Bobby fired his against the Yankees and Head tossed his no-hitter against the Boston Braves. A returning serviceman, Jim Vernon of the Senators, won the American league batting title, but several others, including Dick Wakefield of the Tigers and Joe DiMaggio of the Yanks, failed to return to their pre-war form, The New York Giants made the headlines when they purchased Walker Cooper from the Cards for $175,000 in the top baseball iil 74 / Al 7 WS ee BALES) but in the National the race re- sulted in a tle, first in baseball history. In the playoff the St. Louis Cards, favorites for the flag all season, beat the Brook- lyn Dodgers in a thrill-packed series, The world series also was a spectacular one, The Boston Red Sox, overwhelming favorites, were defeated in a seven-game se: ries, The series, as usual, placed the hero's role on one player and the bum's rap on others, Harry (The Cat) Brecheen, slim south- paw pitcher of the Cards, was the outstanding hero of the series. Ted Williams, the great hitter who couldn't hit, and Johnny Pes- ky, the great infielder who failed to throw on time, shared the spot- light as "goats." It was a tough year on mana- gers and club presidents alike. The Cleveland Indians, held so long by Alva Bradley and his as- sociates, were sold to a syndicate headed by the colorful, sport- shirt zany of minor league base- ball, Bill Veeck, who proceeded to stage so many etra-curricular ac- tivities for the home fans that all at.endance records were broken. Managers Bounced Foreworks, comedians, acro- bats, gifts for the ladies and free gates were only a few of his many inovations. In Pittsburgh, the Pirates were sold to a syndicate headed by IFrank McKinney, Indianapolis banker, and including Bing Cros- by, the radio singer. Managerial changes were many. Joe McCarthy resigned as boss of the Yanks and was succeeded by Bill Dickey, who later gave up the reins to Johnny Neun. Ted Lyons became the manager of the White Sox, succeeding the ailing Jimmy Dykes, Luke Sewell quit as Brownie manager and was replac- ed by Zach Taylor who in turn gave up the reins to Muddy Ruel for next year, Frankie isch, the Pirates' boss, was replaced by Bil- ly Herman. Neun became boss of the Reds for 1947 when the veter- an Bill McKechnie quit. Finally, Stanley Harris was selected for the job as manager of the Yank- ees, "Williams Shift" Bobby Feller of the Indians and Ed Head of the Dodgers made deal of the year, Lou Boudreau, capable mana- ger of the Indians, came up with a startling infield lineup to stop the hitting of Ted Williams, The "Williams shift," as it was called, later was copied by Manager Ed- die Dyer of the Cards in the world series. Lippy Purocher, the colorful manager of the Dodgers, continu- ed to hog the headlines as he (a) went to court on an assault charge and was acquitted; (b) led his team to the pennant playoff; (e) It Might Work, But Most Clubs Want Their Stars By KEN METHERAL Canadian' Press Staff Writer Edmonton, Dec. 28--(CP)--Hock- ey is big business .in a--one of the biggest sport businesses the Dominion boasts in both the pro- fessional and amateur classes. It is big business not only on the domestic front with fans pouring millions of dollars into the turn- stiles annually to see games, from Halifax to Vancouver, but a lucra- tive trade on the export market. Canadian players are tops whether the winter pastime is played in the United States or England, An the recent vain quest of the Canadian Amateur Hockey Associa- tion to find a suitable sextet to re- present Canada in a world champ- ionship. puck series at Prague, Czechoslovakia in February is ample warning that Canada should give serious consideration to her hockey prestige throughout the world. The C.AH.A, balked in efforts to secure a complete senior aggrega- tion to carry the Maple Leaf colors into the European hockey wars, might be well advised to follow the lead of English soccer heads and set up an All-Star International Selection Committee, Departure of a full top-line sex- tet would throw a heavy financial burden on any hockey circuit. Both the Allan "Cup champs, Calgary Stampeders, and Winnipeg Mon= archs, National Junior Kings last season, refused the European ine vitation rather than side-step their regular league obligations, But the withdrawal of 12 to 15 players spread over clubs from the Maritimes to British Columbia would not throw a great burden on any single Club or League. London (CP).--Mosquitos are be. ing supplied by the United King- dom to re-equip squadrons of the Royal New Zealand Air Force. Ten of the planes have already left, signed a new contract as manager of the Dodgers at $65,000 a year, tops of all time, and (d) was drawn into a martial triangle with movie actress Laraine Day. The American league over= whelmed the National league in the All-Star game, 12 to 0. Willam G. Bramham, czar of minor league baseball, stepped down and was replaced by George Trautman as the highlight of the major league meetings in Loos Ane geles. The Yankees also made base. ball history by taking to the air on their baseball travel, ' WHEEL AGNMERT OUT-OF-LINE wheels TIRES! grind rubber off tires « . . as if you purposely scuffed it away with a rasp!
