PAGE TWELVE THE DAILY TI MES-GAZETTE - WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1947, Y Geo. H. Campbell PORT NAPSHOTS West Bruins broke into the sport news yesterday with ost Arve Rei Thunder Bay Hockey Association Yoretieny that the Bruins were headed for the Memorial Cup--in fact, i i have already dusted off the shelf, for they think their ro} ng ue | ; cinch to cop the Canadian Junior hockey title. The Bru a Shi defeated in their own league schedule, have been winning ais Rid "huge one-sided scores and have defeated Moose Jaw Canucks and of | top-notch opposition, including senior squads, in genie games, ' However, the Port Arthur West End Bruins (and their fans) go 5 mu 3 : golt this morning, when it was announced that Ray Cerisino, the Bom Sar laadie they pracHosly RMPSRECS oom anges ] der way, has be € , : Re SO fs in Oshawa this winter, or be doesn't play much hockey--and he is the No. 1 ace of the West En ' Bruins, ® * LJ Reviewing the case-history, Ray Cerisino came to Oshawa for the 1946-47 season, with the Oshawa Club obtaining a release from transfer from the Thunder Bay A hia dub 307 puting > ts tell the circus patrons, the ag poli g hy gn hoi sent his transportation and he used it to come to Oshawa, played for the Generals in the Montreal S.P.A. opening game and then the following week, "flew the coop," after having been plagued with telegrams from his home. town. First smoke-scceen was that his girl friend was urging him to come home and this was tied up with the "homesick" gag. However, it finally came out that the Port Arthur West End Bruins really wanted Ray Cerisino back to play Junior hockey there--because they felt with him, along with their other outstanding players--they had [ Memorial Cup championship club. Still--they were bluffing that they wanted a transfer for Cerisino to play senior hockey in Port Arthur. they never intended him to play That was another screen-- senior hockey (he has still anot! > her year of Junior hockey). LJ * Hockey Club notified the O.H.A. that they were re- lie ry and the O.H.A, upheld the Generals, refusing a transfer for Cerisino from the O.H.A. to the Thunder Bay Association. ' Then the Thunder Bay Asscoiation appealed to the C.AH.A, which is headed by President Stan Sargeant of Port Arthur, no less. However, . the other Associations in the C.A.H.A. voted to uphold the O.H.A. ruling and dismissed the Thunder Bay appeal. Now Cerisino' can play hockey , but not under the C.AHA. panner--which may mean, he could help Bruins win the Thunder Bay Association title but then could not play * for them in Memorial Cup playoffs. All down the line, it seems obvious that Ray Cerisino acted on the urgings or bad advice of some person or p in Port Arthur who had intimated that they had the power #0 fix it." Now Cerisino is "fixed" and his hockey career may suffer greatly--not to mention that the Generals would be much stronger if he was still performing here. +> LJ L 2 Once again there were no games played in the Junior "A" cir- cuit last night but there are some interesting struggles booked for this evening. In two Senior tilts last night, Kitchener.Waterloo Flying Dutchmen whipped Brantford Redmen 8-2 and in the other game, Owen Sound Mercurys defeated Hamilton Pats 6-4. In the Junior circuit, tonight, Windsor Spitfires are visiting Stratford and we expect the Kroehlers to finally come up with a good display on their home ice against a tough team and win the two points that" would keep Windsor from increasing their lead. Galt Rockets play at Barrie tonight and "Frenchy" Mayer will be performing against the Rockets. A car-load of the Generals delivered "Frenchy" to the Flyers last night. However, the big interest locally is the game right here at the Oshawa Arena, with St. Mike's visiting the Gen. erals. The local lads are especially keen to defeat their old rivals and Joe Primeau's boys are just as anxious to win a game right here in Oshawa. Tonight's hockey game should be one of the best of the season, based on such points as rivalry, interest and enthus- iasm, Ld \ * Joe LaFrance arrived in Oshawa as scheduled but it is not expected t Coach Tommy Anderson will send his new recruit into action in night's game, against the "Irish", Perhaps after a couple of workouts, the former Barrie player will be ready to fit into the Generals' play and might even be ready for Saturday's game when Guelph Biltmores wisit the Oshawa Arena. Meanwhile, the rest of the Generals are all set for tonight's big game and it should be a lively contest. What's most important--this game tonight is very much in the doubtful class and by no means, can be considered as "in the bag." The "Irish" have pulled off a couple of upsets this season and they'd like nothing better than to add an Oshawa scalp to their list. > * Rs * SPORT SHORTS--Murray Murdock, the Lou Gehrig of hockey, : played his 500th successive National Hockey League game with New York Rangers, 12 years ago tonight. He performed in six exhibition . matches with the New Yorkers in 1937 bringing his string to 600 before he was sent down to Philadelphia Ramblers . . . . George Connor and John Lujack have been placed on yet another All-Star team. This time the Saturday Evening Post has given the two Notre Dame stars the ! recognition. Bob Chappius of the Michigan Wolverines is also one of the great ball players on this selection , . . . Billy Fox of Philadelphia will get another crack at Gus Lesnevich and the light heavyweight title. The bout a fifteen round affair will take place on March 5th at Madison Bquare Gardens , . . . The Halifax Forum has banned broadcasting of the local hockey teams home games, since 'the gates, according to them have been reduced considerably, through the fans staying home : in large numbers. ol L 4 > ry ; SCISSORED. SPORT (By The Canadian Press)--Sol Straus, whose - dander rises at the drop of a writ, declared with desk-thumping empha- sls at New York yesterday that Jersey Joe Walcott either can fight Joe Louis again next June for 20 per cent of the net receipts or remain in Camden, N.J.,, with his memories. Sol, acting head of the Twentieth Century Club, sounded as though he meant it, "Never--Never-- - Never!" he exploded when asked if there was any chancgy he would grant Walcott the 30-30 split in the spoils that Jersey Joe demands for « m return bout with the heavyweight champion, / "" Dutchmen And Owen Sound Win : goals by Bun White and Freddie Smith gave Owen Sound Mercurys a 6-4 victory over the ; sixth-place Hamilton Patricias in . an Ontario Hockey Association Sen- jor A tilt at Owen Sound last night.

Flyers are going to Switzerland to represent Canada at the 1948 Olym- pic "hockey wars after all -- but there'll ke a lot of changes made and they'll have a "new look." 'When they board ship at New York to sail Jan. 9 they'll probably only be a semblance of the team that has dropped two sad losses in as many starts, They'll be bolster- ed, perhaps with an entirely new defence and possibly a new, punch- ier attack line, Lose To Army Norman Dawe, Ist vice-president of the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association, heeding the alarm that developed following Flyers 7-0 loss to McGill Redmen in an exhibition here Saturday, came to Ottawa last night. He and a lot of other officials saw the Olympic prospects drop an- other--6-2 to Ottawa Army, Then Mr. Dawe went into confer- ence with . R.C.AF. officials. Two hours later the conference broke up and the C.A.H.A., officials issued this statement: "The Royal Canadian Air Force will retaift its identity in represent. ing Canada at the Olympic hockey games. At the same time, RCAF. officials have agreed to strengthen the team, as requested by the Can- adian Amateur Hockey Association, and the C.AHA., will lend a hand in this strengthening process as far as possible." Want Replacements Although Mr. Dawe did not come outeand say so it was clearly indi- cated the RLC.AF. would be given a free hand to get replacements where they might, either from other service teams or civilian clubs, pro- viding prospects could meet the stiff Olympic amateur pledge. And they've been told to look particu- larly for defence men. Dawes praised the air force effort to ice a club, Though the R.C.AF. banned will be retained he indicat- ed plans for an all-R.C.AF. squad pike have keen junked when he said: RCAF FLYERS PLUS "NEW LOOK" TO GO OLYMPICS ALL AFTER Canada To Help "Btu the R.C.AF. fully recognizes the fact that we are not playing for the air force or the C.AH.A.--we are playing for Canada and they agree that reinforcements are re- quired." Dawe: didn't indicate where the reinforcements might come from, nor how the C.A.H.A. might "lend a hand." Neither 'did others at- tending the conference, including Sqdn. ILdr. A. Gardner Watson, manager of the club, News and Views IN THE Industrial Loop Pitts Electric vs. Courtice The "PITTS" proving their right to the league leadership added to their total points by de- feating the "Boys from Down East" 7-2. Although the position of the "Electrical Appliance Men" was never in doubt, Courtice kept it interesting by parking continu- ohsly on MacMillan's doorstep in the "PITTS" net and finally paid off to the tune of 2 goals, Chadwick again starred in the Courtice net and continually rob- bed the 'Pitts" snipers, Cooper took top honours for PITTS with 2 goals and 3 assists while Wiseman, Williams, And- rews, Stauffer and Baxter shar- ed the remainder, B. Ayres and Burgess, scored Courtice's only goals. Mid Town (Cabs vs. Robson Leather Proving that you cannot win a game in the penalty box "The Cabbies" drew a 2-3 decision' to the ever agressive Robson Leath- ¢ Team, Sticking close to their checks at all times, the Tannery Boys gave the potent trio of Wes Keel. er, brother Aggie and Crabbe Crandall no time to organize their passing plays and at the same time causing 3 of the 5 penalties handed out by referee G, Peters and Gord, Hurst to be drawn by this time. Even though they tied up the Mid-Town's front line they man- aged to take credit for 2 of the 3 goals, however going to Wes. Keeler and Black for the "Cab- bies" and Reid, Weatherup and Pallister for the Tannery. Bennett Car Sales vs, Faber Clothing With the "Iron Fist" of Cec. Claus hanging over their heads, the "Clothing Boys," showing that they can play good clean hockey, took some of the glimmer from the stars on the sweaters of the Bennett Car Sales. Fabers, lying both way gave young Claus ample protection to credit him with his first shut. out of the year. Although the score being 3-0 against him, West in the Ben- nett's nets, played heads up hoc- key, to be the only player on the "Used Car" team worthy of men- tion. Arnold,, Drummond Clauge shared the honours Fabers with a goal apiece, Fittings vs. Harmony Lunch The last place Fittings Team must have been digesting all the news they have been reading about "Atomic Energy" as they suddenly came to life in the fourth game of a 5 game Satur- day morning Industrial League Hockey Session, to defeat the "Hrmony Lunch" crew by a 3-2 count, Featured also in the Fittings win, and to his own team mate's expense, were the stupid antics of the Harmony goalie, who net- ted himself a minor and a 10 minute misconduct for abuive language and threatening the re- feree. Grant, Brooks and Locke scor- ed for Fittings while Sutton and Stewart carried the mail for Har- mon and " L for y. G.M. Parts vs. Duplate Scoring on a gift goal by Vi- pond, in which the puck ricochet- ted off goalie Rlemulk's skate in- to the Duplate net. Parts took an early lead and added a second on a rebound shot to make it 2-0 be- fore Duplate could retaliate with a lovely goal by Forshee from Howaithe to make the count 2-1. U.S. Olympic Team Will be There, Though Perhaps As Spectators In spite of the threat of withdrawal of U.S. contenders in the winter Olympic sports contest at Switzerland, the U.S. ski-team is already on its way to practice on the Swiss slopes before the games commence. Here the four members of the team are shown in Sun Valley, Idaho, practising "their technique before embarking for Europe. Left to right: Jack Reddish, Ann Winn, Alf Engen and Walter Prager, Ten minutes later H. Harch and Vipond combined to notch the 3rd counter, From then on it was "Kitty Bar the Door" as' far as Parts were concerned, who sat back and waited for the breaks, which finally came with Saunders pick- ing up a loose puck, made a rink length dash and beat Rlemulk very nicely for a 4-1 couni, With- in the last five minutes, D. Mov- fer and E. March notched Parts' final tally to make it 5-1, Duplate continued to press but failed to beat the cool working Brisbois in the Pars' net, Vipond added to his total of penalties with a minor and a 10- minute misconduct. SATURDAY IS DEADLINE FOR OMHA ENTRIES Toronto, Dec. 17--(CP)--Deadline for entries for group play in the Ontario Minor Hockey Association is Dec. 20, OM.H.A. officials said today, Thus far, 118 entries have been recorded--an increase of 15 over the entry list at the same date last season. President Ken Waters announced two- further appointments for Group Conveners, Ted Elmes of Galt, will convene a mixed juvenile group in that district and Dr. G. A. Sirrs of Acton, has been appointed to con- vene a group that will include Georgetown, Acton, Milton, Norval and any other centre in that area entered prior to Saturday. LOCAL CHESS CLUB TEAM WINS NOVEL TEST FROM BLIND PLAYERS We had occasion to mention in these columns recently, that an un. usual Chess match would take place between the Canadian Institute for the Blind Chess Club, Toronto, and the Oshawa Chess Club. This interesting event was held at Adelaide House on Saturday last. Bernard Freedman well known Canadian Chess authority and ex- pert from Toronto, arranged the affair. He provided transportation and accompanied personally, the blind players Trom the Institute fér the Blind. One of the many Chess activities of Bernard Freedman, is the spons- orship of chess playing, among blind devotees of the game of chess. Un- der his personal direction, lectures and demonstrations have been given the blind players. He has been emi- nently successful in developing the chess playing ability of his friends from the Canadian Institute for the Blind, Allan Hillmer, Secretary of the Oshawa Chess Club, collaborated with Bernard Freedman, in making this unusual chess event possible. The actual chess play was par- ticipated in by nine players from both Chess Clubs. The Oshawa play- ers were headed by John Harris, the Oshawa. expert, who played at top board for the Oshawa Club. Oshawa played its strongest players, at the remaining eight boards. The blind visitors gave an amaz- ing demonstration of the art of chess playing. Not only did they | show a wide knowledge of the game itself. but ales Aisnlaved vam ara » PUL also displayed remarkable | teats of memory, aud "finger tip" The actual play took place in the identification of the various "chess pieces" and their position on the board. That was not all. They also had to identify at every move, the exact position of their opponents' chess pieces as well. A chess player will recognize at a glance, that playing chess under these conditions requires unusual skill and knowledge. To those Oshawa players who were privileged to participate in this rare experience nothing but complete admiration for their blind opponents was possible. The quality of play, was unusually good. On all the boards severe op- position was encountered, and re- sults came the hard way. Based on the afternoon's play, the teams were well matched. After play was concluded, the visitors were entertained at dinner. Messrs. Freedman and John Harris made some interesting observations upon the experiences of the after- noon. Several of the blind players spoke generously, and entertaining. ly during dinner also. This unusua! affair would not have been possible without the co- operation and interest displayed by the management of Adelaide House. drawing room. Special arrange- ments were also made to serve din. ner to members of the Clubs and other visitors who attended. The | arrangements at Adelaide House were splendidly carried out, and our blind friends from Toronto left Oshawa full of appreciation for the officials of Adelaide House, who had inade such a pleasing experience | possible, Rangers Might Climb to Third In the introduction to the Christ- mas week grind, third place in the National Hockey League is at stake tonight, and it's just possible that that dizzy height will be attained by the New York Rangers. Tonight's two games have Boston Bruins at. New York and Detroit Red Wings at Chicago Black Hawks. The present standing in itself tells volumes of the shifting for- tunes of this season's clubs: Toron- to 29, Detroit £6, Boston 24, New York 23, Montreal 22 and Chi- cago 12. And if the New York Rangers continue their dazzling clip of the past two weeks, they're going to be sitting in third place come Thurs- day. They haven't been beaten in their last six games, of which they tied three. Their success is no secret formu- la. They have a bunch of hustling forwards, a pretty fair defence which includes a flock of hockey brains under the grey thatch of Neil Colville, and a "temporary" goalie in Jim Henry who last Sat- urday gave gney of the greatest dis- plays of netminding in elague his- tory as New York beat Toronto Buddy O'Connor, one of the Ranger forwards, has climbed into a third- place scoring tie with Maurice (Rocket) Richard of Canadiens, be- hind Toronto's veteran Sylvanus Apps and Montreal's Elmer Lach. Of course, they're up against a great team tonight in the Boston Bruins, who have in Frankie Brim- sek a goalie as good as they come, along with powerful offensive and defence power. The Rangers just can't keep on forever--or can they? Saturday night starts the heavy Christmas schedule of 11 game: SHOOTING MATCH To be Held Sat.

Montreal, Dec. 17--(CP)--Le Can- ada said today in a sports page story that Gaye Stewart, left wing- er traded earlier this season by To- ronto to Chicago in the five-for-two deal, may come to Montreal Cana- diens before the end of the week. Le Canada said the Montreal Na- tional Hockey League Club, at pres- ent. down in fifth place in the stand- | ing, has been looking for a good left-wing player for some 'time and that Coach Dick Irvin of Cana- diens conferred with President Bill Tobin of the Black Hawks during the weekend The ngwspaper said it was un- likely thgt money would figure in the deal Put that Canadiens: prob- ably would trade a defenceman to the Hawks in return for Stewart's services. There was no immediate comment frem the Montreal Club, Local Netters Win Tourney Over Guests The Ontario County Flying Club members were hosts recently to the Bowmanville Badminton Club, at a badminton tournament and social evening, held at the O.CF.C. Re- creation Hall and at the conclusion of the night's play, the local net. ters had emerged victorious by a total margin of 24 to 14. In the men's doubles, Bowman. ville men copped a 6-5 margin in the four sets played but the Osh- awa gals dominated their portion of the night's tournament and then gave the 'men sufficient help in the mixed doubles games to eke out a small margin in this group also.
