THE DAILY TIMES:GAZETTE TUESDAY, APRIL 22, 1947 \PORT NAPSHOTS Word comes out of Regina that only 600 tickets have been sold for tonight's fourth game of the Memorial Cup finals and at a similar time prior to the 3rd game of the series, 5,000 tickets had been picked up by the enthusiastic Regina hockey fans. It's quite apparent that two factors Jaw Canucks. The Western fans should just pause for a minute and ; much worse it would have been if the games had been played Leaf Gardens, "home ice" for the "Irish." The "Irish" have won three-straight and with ridiculous ease. Thy should clean up the Memorial Cup series in 4-straight games tonight. However, that dis- graceful affair of bottle-throwing, etc. in Regina on Saturday night has also put a black mark on the series and one that reflects no credit on the fans responsible and Western hospitality in. general. a L The Western hockey boys L LJ are so willing to admit that St. Mike's are far too powerful for anything they've got out there that it is only natural and expected to have them add in the same breath that their best teams could lick anything else in the East. Well, boys--we'll never have a chance to prove it but we think Oshawa Generals and Galt Red Wings could each have won the Memorial Cup, providing either had been able to get past the classy St. Mike's » team. We don't think Brandon Elks or Moose Jaw Canucks would have won more than one game against either the classy Galt team or our own Generals--who after all, did at least make the "Irish" raise a sweat--something that the Canucks are not able to do. L + > LJ SPORT SHORTS;--Montreal Royals tagged a 3-1 defeat on the Hamilton Tigers last night and now lead the Eastern Canada senior finals by two games to nil. The next game, or two, if Tigers can win tomorrow night, will be played at the Gardens in Toronto but it wouldn't surprise us much to see the Montreal Royals sweep this series . . .. In the O.HA. Junior "B" finals last night, on Toronto ice, Hamilton Aerovax won 4-2 and tied up the series. They lost the toss so the 5th and deciding game will be played at the Gardens on Saturday afternoon . . » « However, we'd just like to point out that the Toronto writers (miles away from and so somewhat ignorant of the true facts) came up with scathing comment over that affair in Regina on Saturday but it will be interesting to see how much space they devote to the equally disgraceful frée-for-all fighting, right in the Gardens and the apparent attempt to do wilful damage on the car parking lot after the game . ,. . We'll bet "it's different" when a Toronto group of "rowdies" are implicated . . . . Incidentally, the "bottle-throwers" at Regina were not held by the police --=& mistake, we think . . . . High praises--and fully deserved--are being heaped on "Happy" Day, coach of the world champion Maple Leafs and his players . .. . We note that the victory gave the Leafs as much money as Canadiens got altogether for the winning the N.H.L. title and win- ning the semi-final series with Boston . . . . Leafs' themselves put enough in the pot to give all their club men an equal share . . . . -Oshawa Lacrosse Club's 1947 list of officers and a brief outline of their plans for the season, as developed so far, appears in today's sport news.

Any drum beating on the 73rd running of the Kentucky Derby should be prefaced today by a note or two on Phalanx, a colt with a mind of his own and a world of speed when the real racing begins. Before they ran the Wood Memorial in two divisions last Saturday as a double feature dress- rehearsal for The Derby, Phalanx was 10-1 in the Winter Book; but anyone who saw the son of Pilate-Jacola sweep into Jamaica's short stretch, will tell you Phalanx is as close to a solid choice for The Derby as a horse can be two weeks before a race. The colt. with the best chance of toppling Phalanx would seem to be Calumet Farm's "Faultless" with Ear] Stice's "On Truest" an outside possibility . . . It would be pleasant to report that Cornish Knight might be good enough to do it for owner E. P. Taylor of Toronto, but the suspicion is strong that The Knight is just a good, honest horse, capable in his own class but not quite a classic performer. High Praise For Leafs' Happy Day Toronto, April 21--(CP) -- Either Clarence (Happy) Day ranks as the best playoff coach in the National Hockey League or he started life a Owen Sound, 46 years ago come next June. 14 with the biggest bun- dle of rabbits' feet in the business. He took up coaching in 1940-41-- after 14 years as a player and two as a referee--and guided his Toron- to Maple Leafs to three Stanley Cup championships in seven seasons, a record without parallel in the NHL. His first Stanley Cup came in 1942 when he reorganized his squad after it took three defeats in g row from Detroit Red Wings and then led his team to four straight tri- umphs in the most sensational comeback in ts. trophy's history. He astounded hands by guiding a relatively weak team to the cham- Plonsbip in 1944-45. And the humb- of the powerful Canadiens this season is a matter of familiar his- now. ee other seasons, his team made the playoffs, once getting into the finals Awice being eliminat- ed in the i-finals. In the 1945-46 Season they finished fifth in the league standings, out of the play- offs. "We had an entry in the Lebgue," he says of that year. Clean-cut and clean-living, Day gets along well as a ¢oach because he knows the game inside out. None is quicker at spotting weakness in opposing teams--and taking advan- tage of them, None is quicker to catch mistakes by his own players. Those qualities pay off in Stanley Cup play. Where the team which wins is usuallly the one which makes fewest mistakes, Conny Smythe, managing director of the Leafs, ranks Day's coaching and general handling of his players' strength as first among the reasons the team won the Stanley cup this season, Smythe gathered tlie mater- ial but Day was the man who mould- ed the collection of veterans and rookies into a winning combination. Seven rookies played on the team which beat the Canadiens. Four of these made up the defence. There was the combination of husky but baby faced Jimmy Thomson from Winnipeg and Gus Mortson from Kirkland Lake, Mortson ranks among-the best defencemen to en- ter the NHL. in many years and holds promise of being a great star, Boesch from Regina recovered from mid-season injuries sufficient ly to play in the playoffs. And the fourth man wag 20-year-old Bill Barilko from Timmins, from Hollywood late in the season. This young "husky made a lot of mistakes, due to inexperience, but he worked like a horse. Vic Lynn from Saskatoon, Howie Meeker from New Hamburg and Joe Klukay from Sault Ste, Marie, Ont., were the three rookie . forwards. called up| OSHAWA LACROSSE CLUB RESUMES ACTIVITY -- OFFICERS NAMED FOR 1947 After a couple of weeks of hard work sin Pking u-vy and finding out w ma- terial in player strength and equipment is available, the Osh- awa Lacrosse Club is once again ready to launch out on a season of activity as an Intermediate entry in the Ontario Lacrosse Association. of Present indications are that the Oshawa Lacrosse Club entry will be included in a grouping 'Norman Irwin of Whitby was 4 gro Yieo-gresiiunt and George Camp was elected second vice-president, Harry Lott, former secretary- teasurer of the club, will again take up these important duties.

HAMILTON KIDS TIE UP JR. "B" FINALS & o> Hamilton Aerovax Ties Up Series With Toronto Ice Win Fight in Stands Enlivens Proceedings as Toron- to Collegians Suffer Surprise Setback--Will Settle Title in oth Game Saturday After- noon at M.L.G. A free-skating, hard-hitting bunch of youngsters from Hamil- ton, playing under - the name of |2_pe Aerovox, defeated the highly favor- ed De La Salle collegians, 4-2, at Maple Leaf Gardens last night to even their best-in-five series for the OHA Junior "B" crown at two games each. The fifth game will be at the Gardens Saturday after- noon, Dels winning the toss for choice of venue. Last night's tilt, witnessed by some 2,000 rabid spectators, was another thriller along the trail of junior playoffs as the Ambitious City squad rose to the heights. Playing the role of underdogs, the victors have come from behind two defeats to even the series. They lost the first contest 4-3 in Hamilton, and the second one 8-2 here, After the latter lacing every one, including the management, fig- ured it wag just a case of playing out the string. But the kids trounc- ed the Oakland boys 6-2 in Hamill- ton Saturday night for their first victory. Late in the third period some youth tossed a bag of salt onto the ice. The bag broke and the con- tents melted the ice a little. This was followed by a scrap between a group of Del and Hamilton support- ers. Some police officers rushed to the blue section behind the penalty bench and quelled the argument, but not before several blows were struck, At its height more than a hundred fans were milling about, most of them to get a view of the proceedings, Some Del supporters, mostly youths, made their way to a park- ing lot, where they made as if to interfere with Hamilton fans' cars, but police again stepped in to stop the squirnfish. Led by Frank Bergeron, a husky defenseman and one of the best junior prospects in these parts, the Hamilton team outskated and out- played the Dels most of the way. It wag only in the final period the Oaklands' power showed, but fine netminding by Denny Leeson, cou- pled with the strong back-checking of Stevie Kraftcheck and Bergeron, they were held to only one goal in that period. . first line bt.

Manager Mel Ott Hinted Giant Star Who's Making Good New York, April 22 (AP). --When master Mel Ott remarked that the New York Giants had a youngster on the club who was bound to be- come a top ranking star, nearly everybody thought he was referring to Clint Hartung, the fabulous Texas rookie. As if reading the newspaper boys' minds, the National League's home run king smiled and said: "No I don't mean Hartung, al- though he's plenty good. I'm re- ferring to our Scotch second base- man, Bobby Thomson. Already this season the 23-year- old <lasgow-born youngster has belted three homers.

Leafs got $500 for second place in the league, $1,000 for winning their semi-final, $1,000 for winning the final. The Leafs wont disband for a few days yet.

ROYALS BEAT TIGERS SECOND TIME Monteal, Api! 22:--Montreal Royals and Hamilton Tigers move to Toronto for the third game of their Eastern senior hockey final Wednesday night with the ~ high- flying Montrealers heavy favorites to win the best-of-five series in straight games after their 3-1 triumph here last night. Royals won the opener Saturday 3-0, A three-goal third period rally brought Royals victory. Before that, Hamilton goalie Art Childs had kicked out everything in a Sen- sational netminding display. Childs was the star of the game and if his teammates hadn't tired in the final frame, he might have blanked Royals for the full dis- tance, Childs turned aside 43 drives while Gerry McNeil, who shut out his- opposition in. three previous playoff fixtures, had to block only 17 shots. Hamilton opened the scoring just 32 seconds before the end of the opening session. Clarence Shilling- ton took the puck on a faceoff in the Montreal end and batted the puck out to Dillon Brady who fired a sizzler through the Montreal goalie's legs from 40 feet out. At 5:34 of the third Royals tied the score when Pete Morin worked his way around the Hamilton net and slid the puck under Childs' falling body. As the crowd of 10,035 fans roar- ed, Royals went ahead 2-1 at 8:33 on a goal by Hughie Barlow, who performed for Hamilton Pats in the senior O.H.A. during the regular season. His shot passed a maze of legs before entering the net. Once behind, Tigers seemed to lose heart and it was Royals who carried the play for the rest of the period. Gerry Plamondon scored the clincher at 19:22 on passes from Morin ad Toa Campeau. Sherry and Lari: ELE fletence, wings, Mason and Liscombe; subs, Din- ning, illington, Brady, J. Conick, A.

Michael's College were over- whelming favorites today to finish off their best-of-seven series with Moose Jaw Canucks in tonight's fourth game and take the Memorial Cup and the Canadian junior hoc- key championship East with them for the second time in three years. Victims 12-3, 6-1 and 8-1 of the Toronto team's power in the first three games, Canucks were given only one chance in 1,000 of averting a clean sweep, first in the Memor- ial Cup series since Oshawa crush- ed Trail in straight game in 1944. Vice-president Al Pickard of the Canadian Amateur Hockey Associa- tion has warned that any repetition of the bottle-throwing which mar- red Saturday night's game will mean instant award of the contest --and the championship--to St. Mike's. At the same time he expressed hope that his home-town Regina fans would not boycott the game because of the "irresponsible few" who had caused the third meeting to be called with six minutes still to play. There seemed little likelihood, however, of another sell-out crowd. Only about 600 tickets had been sold up to a late hour last night when about 5,000 had been snatch- ed up for the previous game in an equivalent period.
