THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE MONDAY, MARCH 31, 194% face EIGHT -. ITH CHISOX NOW TED LYONS, SOX MANAGER, PLANS TOUSE RED AS A SPOT PITCHER -- AND REO ALENTY OF THESE SPOTS ARE AGAINST THE P O R T BR . A. NAPSHOTS comptes Theres plenty of joy in Bowmanville today over the victory of their Juvenile "B" hockey team, in capturing the O.M.H.A. Provincial hockey championship and Lionel Conacher Cup. Bolton, backed by a few hund- red fans, made it an exciting evening here on Saturday with a 5-2 triumph and they checked young Hooper into oblivion. He was just another player in the second game but Sturroch got the first and last goals of the game to protect Bowmanville's first-game lead of six goals and help bring the Ontario puck crown to Bowmanville. Young Rowe in goal, along with Tighe and Cowle were the other Bowmanville stars. Rowe was sensational in spots--had to be to protect that lead because Bolton was much the better team on Saturday night. Hearty congratulations go out to Bowmanville on their championship--truly a remarkable feat for any smail town but particularly for these Bowmanville homebrew boys who brought a Provincial title there--and without even a rink of their own in which to play. : « &* * L 3 ¢ The jubilation of the Bommnvile: celebration will be tempered with a si note of sad due to the death of "Tim" Garton, popular Bowmanville bus-line operator, who succumbed Sunday to injuries sustained in an accident up near St. Catharines, last week. "Tim" was a great friend of all sporting teams, transport- ed many Bowmanville, Oshawa and Whitby teams in his busses during the past 20 odd years. We that it was on a trip to St. Cath- arines, with the GM Senior Lacrosse team, about 19 years ago, when "Pim" Garton received the sad news of the death of his son, by drowning. In those days, when everybody on or connected with the team had to have a special "moniker," the boys of the lacrosse teams, "Blue Devils" rugby teams, etc, referred to their favorite bus-driver as "Terrible Tim." This was no reflection on his masterful ability to handle a bus but rather in reference to the dire punishment he was. always threatening to dish out if they made him drive all the _way to St. Catharines or to Brampton or to Guelph or Niagara Falls ~and then let th lves get defeated. "Tim" Garton was a real citizen, ready to help sport teams and others. Bowmanville and this district will miss him. ' = > > RS > Markham Millionaires have a 2-goal lead for their return game here tonight at the Oshawa Arena when they take on "Bucko" McDonald's « Bundridge boys in an O.H.A. Inter. "B" semi-final playoff round. It looks as if the Markham team can survive this round but knowing *"Bucko" McDonald and his qualities, we can expect a real bid by the Sundridge boys. "Bucko" has taken time out from his duties as Member of Parlia- ment to play for and coach the Sundridge team and the former N.HL. star has brought his team along the playoff trail in fine style, There will likely be another good crowd at the Arena tonight. 2 * Ld ICE CHIPS;--Inkerman Rockets Paved an entire league schedule and playoffs in the Ottawa Valley District with an undefeated record and then when they met Montreal Jr. Canadiens in the first game of their series, the score was 17-2 for Montreal.

The tourists scored 240 and Toronto, March 31--(CP)--Tor- onto fans are sure of at least one more Stanley Cup playoff contest next Saturday .but unless their fav- orite Maple Leafs give their blue stockings a decided upward tug, that will ring down the cuhtain on big-time hockey here-abouts this winter. Detroit's red-hot Red Wings were so vastly superior when they thumped the Leafs 9-1 Saturday night to even the semi-final series at one game apiece, that it was dif ficult to figure had the Leafs fin- ished second and the 'Wings fourth in the Nationa! League standings. Odds which established the Leafs as 1 to 2 favorites on the best of seven game round, dropped to even money and when the teams clash in the third contest in Detroit Tues- day the Wings will be favcrites to move ahead. Even word from Detroit that the Wings regular goalie, Harry Lum- ley, will undergo a serious groin operation today that will bench him for the season failed to shake the betting. His replacement, rook- ie Ralph (Red) Almas, has proved a bulwark in Detroit's two games. The Wings left for Detroit im- mediately after their triumph but the Leafs will drill here today be- fore departing and there may be a shakéup in the line-up which fell apart in places. Managing Director Conn Smythe wasn't satisfied with the team's showing in the opener which they won 3-2 and thinks the Leafs are lucky they are not two games down. The Major, who has fired more than one Toronto team to great heights by dressing-room tongue lashings, said Wally Stanowski's injured knee had healed sufficiently to permit his rejoining the Club. Smythe figured the main differ- ence in the clubs was that the Wings had one "great" player --Jack Stewart--with the big de- fenceman sparking many Detroit attacks and hammering incoming Leafs almost into submission. Wings manager Jack Adams thought his team had been as good as the Leafs all season, -although LEAFS MUST PULL UP THEIR SOCKS OR WINGS WILL FLY AWAY WITH EM they won only twice and tied twice in 12 scheduled meetings, "but now the breaks are coming our way." If there was an outstanding play- er on the Toronto lineup it was the veteran Nick Metz, who fired their only counter in the second period to cut down the Wings' three-goal margin, Detroit's scoring power was well distributed. Ted Lindsay and Roy Conacher being the only double marksmen, Singletons went to Syd Abel, Billy Taylor, Pete Hor- eck, Eddie Bruneteau and Jim Conacher, / BOWMANVILLE BOYS WIN HOCKEY TITLE ® L 4 Bolton Proves Better Team In Second Game of Finals But Bowmanville Takes Round Bowmanville = Captures Lionel Conacher Cup and O.M.H.A. Juvenile "B" Title in Thrilling Series -- Bolton Boys Make It Exciting With Their Desperate Bid For Victory -- 6-Goal Lead Proved Valuable Bowmanville lost a 5-2 decision to Bolton in the return game of their goals-to-count championship series for the Ontario Minor Hockey Assoclation's Juvenile "B" cham- and The Lionel Conacher Trophy, here on Saturday night, but at the conclusion of the game, the Bow- manville team was presented with the coveted silverware by O. Harold Luke, President of the O.M.H.A. as Hey had won the round and title Going into the game with a 6- goal lead as a result of their 13-7 victory in the first game, the Bow- manville boys were heavy favorites to waltz away with the honors but a determined and capable Bolton team made it a mighty exciting battle, for the benefit of over 1,600 spectators, half of them from Bow- manville and about a quarter of them from Bolton. It was a noisy session! Bowmanville Scored First Hooper, current hockey sensation of the past 10 days, who hit the limelight with 8 goals in the first game, was checked into submission by the Bolton boys and in addition, he appeared to be having tough luck around the net. At any rate-- he was just another player on Sat- urday night. Young Sturroch was the boy who saved the championship for Bow- manville. He scored the first goal of the game, the only tally of the first period, on a pass from Cowle, about midway through the session. That gave Bowmanville a 7-goal lead with only two periods left and it proved just as well. If it had been any less--the desperate Bolton boys would likely have overhauled the Bowmanville team, for the Bolton team was definitely the bet- ter team on Saturday night. Bolton started to click izx the sec- ond stanza, after about eight min- utes of close checking. Penalties had pepped up the first frame, in- cluding one to the Bolton goalie for tripping an opponent. Three for Neil More penalties followed rapidly after Neil had scored for Bolton in the second frame. Neil got another goal a few seconds later to put his team in front and soon after he got back on the ice from a penalty, he got his third goal of the period with help from Williams. When Chard scored from Neil and Chapman early in the third period, to make it 4-1, the Bowman- ville fans began to worry a little and the Bolton rooters started to whoop 'er up. However, the Bowmanville boys were playing it cannily, checking closely and trying hard to avoid the penalties which had hampered their play in the first two frames. They checked hard and diligently. At the 15:30 mark, Chapman scor- ed another for Bolton to. make it 5-1 and put-them within two goals of tying the round. Excitement was at a fever-pitch them but as Bolton threw caution to the winds and sent four and five-man attacks into the Bowmanville zone, the usual boomerang occurred. Levett broke away with Sturroch and the latter got his second goal of the night, to clinch the championship right there. Bolton tried hard in the remain- ing 85 seconds but they didn't have enough 'me nor chances and young Rowe, in the nets for Bowmanville continued to star, as he had throughout the entire game, to pro- tect his team's lead. : The Game's Stars Rowe, in goal, ard Sturroch with his two tallies, were the two heroes for Bowmanville in their Provincial championship victory.

Winds and More Winds Play Havoc With Marksmen Chalking up an all-time low shooting score over the week-end, the Union Rod and Gun Club mem- bers blamed everything but their aim for the poor target showing. Al- though cold, with an extremely strong north westerly wind blowing, eighteen out of a reputedly hundred target shooters from the club brav- ed the wintry weather. Main haz- ards responsible for the overall poor shooting score were a strong cold wind; water in their eyes; clay tar- get pigeons hard to smash; shots too light and what have you. Ed. Cline, not under-rating his shooting rahbits for a kill, at close range, was shooting either above or below the targets and just accident- ally hit two out of twenty-five. Ten highest shooting = scores among eighteen contestants were K. Van Volkenburg 15x25, M. Linton 14x25; W. Williams 12x25; R. Bemis 9x25; G. Brown 9x25; W. Newlands 8x25; W. Skinner 8x25; B. Crowell 8x25; P. Low 5x25; E. Cline 2x25. Shooting chairman Geo. Brown is of the opinion that a substantial target score improvement is possible 3 next week-end--we hope.

No one is sure whether cause is the influenza the three suffered just before the series opened or the shadowing job be- ing 'done on centre Prystai- by Brandon's Fred Dunsmore but in two games the line has contribu- ted exactly one goal and one as- sist to Moose Jaw's cause. Kreklewetz got the goal in Brandon's 2-1 victory in the first game Prystai got the assist in the 3-3 tie Saturday night, For a pair who finished 1-3 in the Sas- katchewan League scoring race --Prystai had 88 points and Kre- klewetz 84--that isn't exactly top form. Canucks' second line of Herb Lovett, Harvey Stein and Wilson was far more effective Sa- ers, Lovett gave Canucks a 3-1 lead early in the second after Hal Tarala and George Hunchuk scored in the first period and his counter finished off a pretty pas- sing play with Stein, Some thought the Canucks were away to their first series win but Brandon's Wally Herges- heimer, who had tallied in the first period, had other ideas. Less than a minute after Lovett's counter, scored on a penalty shot for his second goal and less than eight minutes later he scored | again to pull Brandon level with his three goal hat trick effort, MOOSE JAW---goal, Bentley; 'defence, Tarala, Bedard; centre, Prystal; wings, Jukes, Kreklewetz; alternates, Hunchuk, H.

Cambridge Crew Upsets Oxford In Annual Classic London, March 29 -- (Reuters) -- Cambridge University defeated the heavily-favored Oxford University eight in the boat race today. Cambridge took the lead at the start and steadily increased its ad- vantage over the 4%-mile Thames River course here. The winning "Light Blues" passed the finishing line about 10 lengths ahead of Oxford. The Cambridge crew sped over the course in the slow time of 23 minutes and one second to win the 93rd renewal of the classic Collegi- ate event. The victory marked the 49th time Cambridge had come in ahead, compared to 43 triumphs for Oxford. The race was interrupted by the war but when it was resumed last lear, Oxford won.

MIKE'S WIN ALL-ONTARIO HOCKEY TITLE Timmins, Ont., March 31-- (CP) -- Thoronto St. Michaels, winners over Porcupine Com- bines in three-straight in the all- Ontario Junior hockey final, were ready today to tackle new oppon- ents in the race to the Memorial Cup, and the Canadian Junior hockey championship. There's only four other con- tenders left across Canada since the teams started play-off hockey a month ago. St, Mike's will col- lide with the winner of the ser- ies between Montreal Canadiens and Inkerman Rockets for the Eastern title, which St. Mikes won a year ago. The Western fi- nal now is under way between Brandon Elks and Moose Jaw Ca- nucks, St, Michaels walloped the Com=- bines 16-2 in the first of their best of five series at Toronto a week ago, They barely scraped out a victory in the second at To- ronto, winning 1-0. But in the third at Timmins Saturday night St. Mikes won 7-3, holding the Combines to a single in each per- iod while rolling up three goals in the first, three in the second and one in the third, Red Kelly led the St. Mikes goal-getters with two, the others coming from Mackell, Winslow, | Harrison, Costello and Sandford. Combines scorers 'were Bettio, McLellan and Small, A total of 15 penalties were awarded, including one major to Fleming Mackell of St. Mikes. In the second game, after Sandford had scored in the first two minutes, Combines success- fully checked St, Michaels to a scoreless standstill.

"RED RAIDERS" WILL CARRY ON WITH 2 SQUADS The Oshawa Red Raiders Olub, at a well attended meeting held yesterday in the Genosha Ho- tel, announced plans for a dance to be held April 18th at the Jubilee Pavilion, The Red Raiders are taking this method of raising funds for the coming year. The teams have elect- ed a new executive to carry on this year, and if this dance is successful, a series of dances will be operated between now and Fall, with the ex- ecutive promising to make each dance bigger and better than ever. Tickets have been distributed to all players and all Rugby fans as well as dance lovers of Oshawa are urged to give their support to this worthwhile cause. Spring training in Oshawa will probably start in the middle of May and with Ted Morris of Argos promising to bring down some of his Argo stars, rugby appears to be in for a good year in Oshawa. Seve eral new additions have béen made to the coaching staff, and a new policy will be adopted in handling the teams, and as a result, Oshawa should see some first class rugby this Fall. Johnny Edwards, Athletic director of Queens's has applied for a franchise in the Intermediate League and Peterboro has also sig= nified intentions of entering a team. A general meeting of all teams wishing to play in Lakeshore group has been arranged for the first week in May, when a schedule and a new constitution will be drafted for the coming year. Cobourg, who won the Dominion Inter-championship last year, are scheduled to begin spring training the first Sunday in May and while they will lose several good rlayers to the Peterboro entry, they are still confident they will win the League again this year, The Intermediate League should provide some very good rugby op=- position this year and in all probabe- ility the season will get underway by the middle of September. While no word has been received here in Oshawa about the Little Big Four Junior League, plans for the coming year, all last year's teams are definite starters again this year, and with the local Juniors having 95 per cent of their 1946 team avail- able, plus a year's experience behind them, they are expected to make a more creditable showing this year. Both Oshawa teams made a very good start last year in putting Osh- awa back on the Rugby map, and deserve a great deal of credit for the showing they made, especially when they do not have a sponsor, and all funds raised are done so by their own initiative. Local support- ers can fielp to assure the Red Raid- ers continued success by patroniz- ing their dances and helping them raise funds which are very essential to provide the necessary equipment in order for them to carry on.
