. PAGE TEN » THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE . WEDNESDAY, MARCH 17, 1948 BY Geo. H. Campbell PORT | NAPSHOTS game last night--they haye only two that point they need so badly--and they also lost the N.Y. Rangers lost another m-re left to play in which to get 1st night besides losing to the Boston Bruins 6-2 ) services of Frankie Eddolls, one of their ace defencemen, when he subs fered torn ligaments in his left leg. Now Canadiens and Rangers eac have the same number of games left, two apiece and Habitants must win both and Rangers iose bota, to put Canadiens in the payons. Rangers go to Chicago tonight and unless they can get a point iB he Windy City, then it looks as if the NHL, playoff berths will ph decided until the final game of the schedule, Sunday night in New y ; when Black Hawks are back there. The Chihawks have just about, los! interest in this season's N.H.L. results and in that fact, the Rangers have perhaps their big hope to win a point at least, on home ice. Oo Canadiens have to win both of their remaining games. One a ay t the Hawks for in Montrea], against Black Hawks, which should tire ou ®Neir Sunday game in New York but on the other hand, Canadiens will 10 to Boston on the Sunday night either. t be too fresh when they go , x could be that the scribes who hailed Frank Boucher as "the prophet of the year" because he predicted that the mighty Canadiens wouldn even be in the playoffs--may have to take it all back. What a blow that would be--to Mr. Boucher! - * * * At the Oshawa Arena last night, Hamilton Aerovox proved to have too much on the puck for the Stouffville lyds--despite the urg- ings of almost 1,000 cash customers, almost all of whom seemed to be rooting for Stouffville. Kraftcheck, husky defenceman of the Hamilton Aerovox, who had size, speed and hockey brains, scored one goal and had five assists. He has just passed his 17th birth- day and he rates as one of most promising young defencemien in O.H.A, Junior "B" ranks . His puck.clearing- was a treat to watch and he not only can skate but he makes plays while going at top speed. Yep! The Generals are interested and his performance last night was watched with keen interest by sevéral members of the Jocal Club. Hall of Danforth, who réceived a skate out (right through his cheek) in the game here the other night, is amother player who has attracted attention by his displays here this last few weeks. * * * Local hookey fans are pulling for Danforth Byers to win their series with Kingston Vics. They play the 4th game, by the way, to- night down in Kingston. If Byers can win this round, then we'll have the chance to see them in action here against the Hamilton Aerovox and that would be quite a series. Of course, with St. Mike's by-passing Hamilton to play Welland and Stouitville playing Hamilton while Byers go all the way to Kingston, there's no telling who will meet in the next round of the "B" payoffs. * * Windsor Spitfires will be "on the spot" tonight, but they'll alsp be on their Sn ice, which is a big advantage. After that 10.9 shellacking up in Barrie on Monday night, the Windsor fans are very perturbed and no doubt Messrs. Pollock, Dent and Johnson wre occupying front seats in the worry row. Spitfires should be able to reverse form tonight and take their 3rd win of the series from Barrie Flyers, If they don't, then Barrie will have a great charce lo end it on their own ice in the 6th game. + +* * The Lakeshore Junior Baseball League held their organization .neeting in Bowmanville on Sunday and the delegates representing the various teams were all so pleased with the hard work turtied in by the 1047 officers that they returned the entire slate back into power for the 1048 season, which means "Doc". Rundle of Bowmanville heads the League, with Ed. Campbell of Cobourg as vice-president and "Ab" Walker of Oshawa as Secretary-Treasurer, Oshawa B'Nai B'Rith has announced that theyll not sponsor a Junior team in the Lakeshore League race this season--they represented Oshawa in O.B.A. playoffs for two years and id a fine job. A new Oshawa entry is in, the Sunnyside Combines, classy Midget team of last year, is moving up to Junior ranks (may revert to Juvenile for O.B.A. playoffs) and they are to he sponsored by the "Motor City Cab" of this city. * +* FUTURE GAMES--Windsor entertains Barrie tonight in Jack Dent's palace of ice in, Windsor, and a win for either team would really put the other with their backs to the wall . . . .

Mr. Pickard, nt. ing upon a letter he received from William Northey 6f Montreal, a° life member of the CAHA, sald other suggestions in the letter, including the dropping of the word "amateur" from the Association's name, would be dealt with at the annual meeting if they wef® brought belore it. . >» By HARRY ECCLES Canadian Press Staff Writer Today's most frustrated coach of National Hockey League teams is undoubtedly genial Frank Bou- cher of the New York Rangers. . And today's most tensely-uncer- tain coach, alsp without a shadow of a doubt, is canny Dick Irvin of the Montreal Canadiens. For # the only game last night Boston Bruins' walloped New York Rangers 6-2, right .in Madison Square Garden before a crowd of 15,111. That result just put emphasis marks under all the "ifs" that the N.H.L. governors were forced to include in their playoff schedule. It meant that the fifth-place Canadiens still have a mathemati- cal chance of getting into the four-team playoff for the Stanley Cup. Rangers at present hold the fourth and last play-off spot. Canadiens in fifth place could tie Rangers, if Canadiens win both re- maining games and New York lose their two games. The Canadiens who sank to low- ly positions this season after rul- ing the roost came back with the most determined fight that the league has seen in many a year. They beat Rangers twice last week- end, once in Montreal and once in New York, and then had to sit back and hope. Because a Rangers tie with anybody, much less a vic- tory, would put Canadiens out of the playoffs. When Rangers lost last night, the noise in Madison Square Garden must have been a mumble compared 'to {he glee in the Habitants' idle camp. Bouchers' Rangers had bad luck all the way in last night's game. Frankie Eddolls, their steady de- fenceman, suffered torn ligaments in his left leg in the third period, and he won't be with the team when they meet the Hawks at Chi- c3go tonight. The first period was scoreless, and Boston rammed in four goals in the second, from Johnny Peters, Pat Egan, Milt Schmidt and Jolin- ny Pierson. New York's rookie from Winnipeg, Don Raleigh, broke NEW YORK RANGERS' BAD LUCK CONTINUES AS PLAY-OFFS DRAW NEAR the parade with a goal early in the last frame, and Bryan Hextail got their other goal. But Pete Babando and Ken Smith added two for Boston. While the Rangers are playing at the Chicago Black Hawks to- night, the Detroit Red Wings will endeavor to tie Toronto for tie league leadership by beating the Bruins at Boston, no easy task. Whether or not the Wings win, the league title will be settled by the week-end's games between To- ronto and Detroit. LAKESHORE JR. BASEBALL LEAGUE READY BNA BRITH CLUB IS OUT: NEW TEAM IN Oshawa B'Nai B'Rith, for two years leading contenders for Ont- ario Junior bageball honors, "as Oshawa representatives, will not nior Baseball League, but a new Oshawa entry has been received.

Hamilton Aerovox Jr. "B" Take Stouffville Easily Kraftcheck, Burly Ham- ilton Rearguard Stars, Scoring One and As- sisting On Five Other Goals -- Red Wings Make 3rd Period Rally Hamilton Aerovox displayed plenty of size and speed to trounce Stouffville Red Wings by the score of 8-3 down at the Oshawa Arena last? night. . Though it was nowhere near the type of hockey exhibited by Byers Motors in their game Monday night, still these two teams fought it out hard all the way, with Stouff- ville finally coming through with some show of hockey skill in the last period. Hamilton dominated play right through the first and second periods and look like a cinch to do the same in the third till the Wings got going. y Aerovox scored three goals be- fore the first period was over, and added two more in the second to leave the score at 5-0 at the begin- ning of the third. The game already delayed by the non-arrival of the appointed referees, was delayed still further in the early stages of the third frame, when the Stouffville goalie had to go to the dressing room for some equipment repairs. When he came back on he must have added just the right amount of ginger to the Red Wings for they roared to the attack for the first time in the game, and broke the goose-egg. Hamilton and Stouffville each scored three times in that third period, but it was the amazing re- versal of form of the Red Wings |ea that really got the fans to shout- g. The final whistle went as temp- ers started to get hot, and some penalties were the result. The score when things ended was 8-3. This puts Hamilton one game up for |G*Bienem ¢ the return game on their ice, prob- ably Thursday or Friday night. Kraftcheck, a big and burly de- fenceman for the Hamilton squad who could be spotted anywhere on the ice, played a standout game, and without using his weight at all scored a goal and assisted on five others for the best night's work of any one player. Ross and Lewis were good for Stouffville, but it was their goalie, Stundsin who really had the tough chore, STOUFFVILLE -- Goal, Stund- sin; defence, Campbell, Clement; centre, Minton; wings, Jewett, Taylor; alts.

Copper Cliff And Porkies Tie Up Series Northern Ontario Hockey Associ- ation fans will finally know the identity of the junior champions tonight after the seventh and de- ciding tilt of the best of seven final series. Last night Copper Cliff Redmen scored a decisive 6.1 victory over Porcupine Combines to deadlock the series at three games each and force the series to go the limit. : Only in the initial frame was play anywhere on even terms as Gord Byers sniped one for Copper Cliff midway through the period and then Roger Mineault tied the count for Porcupine near the end of the frame. From there on play was all Redmen's as they added two goals in the second and three more in the third. Marcel Clements scored the first of his two markers in just a little more than a minute of play in the middle session and then Bud Mec. Iver added another at the half-way mark. In the final stanza Ronnie Rubic, Marty Burton and Clements witha his second goal, each added one. Porcupine coach Carlo Cattarello yanked his goalie with more than five minutes left to play to put ane other forward on the ice. His plan backfired as Burton scored his goal by skating in on an empty net, af. ter which the goalie was returned quickly to his position. The game was a close.checking affair for the most part as few wide-open plays developed. Only five minor penalties were called, none of which affected the scoring. Play was delayed between the second and third periods while the club managements, President Max Silverman, secretary Bob Orosby and several other N.O.H.A. execu. tive members argued over financial matters as there was a difference of cpinions on the sum guaranteed Porcupine to make the trip to Sud- bury. The Ontario Hockey Association finals move back into the spotlight tonight as Hamilton Tigers enter. tain Kitchener-Waterloo Flying Dutchmen in what may be the fi. nal game in the best.of-seven sen- ior finals as Hamilton now lead 3.1. Barrie Flyers move back to Windsor for fifth game of the best. of-seven junior finals in an attempt to break the 2-2 deadlock. OMHA Suspends Hespeler Manager Toronto, March 17.--T. J.
