PAGE TEN THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE WEDNESDAY, MARCH 3, 1948 BY PORT NAPSHOTS | can Oshawa Generals do it tonight? 'That's the big question on the tongue of every local hockey fan--and not just the local fans either. They'll be here tonight from Windsor in large numbers and of course there will be the usual delegations from Belleville, Port Hope, Peterboro, Bowmanville, Toronto, ete. Disturbed by the reports from Windsor that these instructions of his to the referees to be exceedingly striet, have not been enforced in the last couple of games, President George Panter 0. H. Campbell RANGERS WITH SUGAR JIM HENRY GIVES MAPLE LEAFS 1-0 BLANKING By DON HUNT Canadian Press Staff Writer While most hockey eyes were focused on the reported betting "scandal" probe in Detroit, the third place New York Rangers partially stole the spotlight last night by dusting off the league- leading Toronto Maple Leafs 1-0 in a rough-and-tough contest in Manhattan. The loss left the Leafs still two points ahead of Detroit in the race for the totp slot but Wings have a game in hand. With only three more weeks to go, it looks as though the battle will be decided on the final week-end when Toron- to and Detroit have a home-and- home series. The triumph boosted Rangers into a six-point lead over the idle fourth-place Boston Bruins. With the words of N.H.L. prexy Clarence Campbell ringing in their ears, the Rangers played inspired hockey and put up a stone-wall defence in front of goalie Sugar Jim Henry. Campbell said earlier in Detroit that players on beth Boston Bruins and New York Rangers were involved in the bet- ting story and that evidence "war- rants expulsion without doubt." Henry, who spent Sunday night in hospital after "a bruising en- counter with Montreal Canadiens, played brilliantly in the New York nets and stopped several shots lab- elled for goals in registering a well-earned shutout. LaPrade is Star Slick Edgar LaPrade shared the hero role with Henry when he slap- ped in his own rebound past Turk Broda, Toronto's pudgy metminder, at 5:35 of the first period. That goal was enough te give the blue- shirts their third victory of the season over Leafs im mime meet- ings, having lost four and tied two. Fisticuffs broke out in the final stanza after a comparatively mild opening. LaPrade and Toronto's Gus Mortson sparked the wild me- lee in which all players took part. Both Mortson and LaPrade were given majors for fighting. They had hardly settled in the sinbin when Bill Barilko and Phil Wat- son tangled at the Ranger end. Barilko, league "bad man" was given a two-niinute charging pen- alty while Watson went off for four minutes for charging and roughing. A full slate of games is scheduled for tonight with first and last place at stake. Toronto plays host to the tail-end Montreal Canadiens. The Habitants need the win if they still have any hopes of making the post-season Stanley Cup playoffs. A loss for the Frenchmen would just about write finis to their chances. Rangers journey to Detroit in a game that could put Detroit back in a tie for first place if Mont- real co-operates and wins too. In the other tilt, the fourth-place Bruins are hosts to Chicago, tied for last place with Canadiens. Then on Thursday, Boston play Canadiens in' Montreal in a game that will make or break the Habs. 00000000CLLLY "HOCKEY - RESULTS - 200N00N~~ ~~ anna O.H.A.
