NAPSHOTS coma | ne. -- Nous sommes ici pour gagner--oh, oh, pardon us, we almost forgot that we were writing for the local puck fans and not for our Quebec visitors--but anyway, the above, translated, is the baftle-cry of the Dolbeau Castors, who insist to all who can understand, that "we're here to win." Incidentally, that Castors is "Beavers," in case the OCVI sons and daughters haven't yet advised their parents. The Dolbeau Castors, champions of the Quebec Province and conquerors of Kirkland Lake, and Bathurst, the Maritime Inter. "A" champs, arrived here in Oshawa last night after almost 27 hours on the train--a jaunt of almost 800 miles. It would have been closer to halfway to have played this series in Montreal. Dolbeau is located on the fringe of the Saguenay district, about 300 miles north of Quebec City and they left there on Thursday night at seven o'clock to get to Oshawa on Friday night. They have 27 in their entire party, including four of the players' wives. Qui! Les Dolbeau Castors sont la! LJ L , A The team, headed by Edgar Tremblay, coach, is entirely French- Canadian, a congenial bunch of youngsters for the most part, with only one player in the veteran class. Two of them are still of junior age--all are from the little town of Dolbeau (about 2,500 people) and they have one speedball 'who weighs only 120 lbs. and a couple more at 130 Ibs.--but the others are average, with one or two in the "big cruiser" class. Two or three of the players can speak English "not so good," but the remainder of the party must depend on these few to make sure they get what they want at the Hotel Genosha dining room, where they are staying for their Oshawa visit. Jacques Lafond, a defenseman is their "most valuable player" having won the trophy for this honor in a recent voting of the Dolbeau and District League. Paul Tremblay, left-winger, is an- other of their high-scoring players and their goalie, rated as better than average, is Maurice "Co-Co" Thifault. Coach Tremblay admits that his team is not a heavy one but insists they are fast and tricky and proudly points out that they have beaten everybody they've met so far. They had a workout last night at the Arena, to get the kinks out, after their long train trip and those who saw them go, say they'll make it interesting for Georgetown. "They look like a whole team of "Frenchy" Mayers was. the way one fan described them, * * * "Stew" McTavish, Oshawa Hockey Club official, who is an execu- tive of the OHA, is looking after the Dolbeau team here, on behalf of the CAHA. This is the first Eastern Canada championship series that has ever been played in the Intermediate "A" ranks. They will not play the Western Canada champs this year, but before long, they'll be having a full Dominion title series.. The Dolbeau boys wants to see the City of Oshawa and they hope to take a trip to Niagara Falls tomorrow. Meanwhile, the big thing is the game tonight here against Georgetown and it promises to draw a big crowd, for it has crated a lot of interest and a course, Georgetown will be bringing a special trainload of about 1,200 fans for this game tonight, even though there isn't as many come back here on Monday night for the second game. * * * In the only Dominion hockey playoff game staged last night, Port Arthur West-End Bruins came back with a brilliant hockey performance to blank Lethbridge Native Sons 5-0 in the fifth game of their series and thus prolong the affair, in fact, perhaps start a climb to ultimate victory. The Sons were outclassed by the Port Arthur team last night and Lorne Chabot in goal was sensational in earning his shutout. That means they'll play the sixth game in Port Arthur and if Bruins win again, to tie it up at three games apiece, the CAHA has decided to bring both teams down to Toronto | and play the seventh game right there. This will be a real break for both teams, to get a chance to play in Maple Leaf Gardens (the ambition of every Western Canada junior player) and it will be an even better break for the team that wins the seventh game, for it would mean they will have played at the Gardens, before opening the Memorial Cup series--which almost every year has resulted in a defeat for the visiting Western team, regardless of who eventually won the cup, --- LJ L J ' SPORT NOTICES: The Oshawa Hunt Club, junior baseball team and 1947 Lakeshore League champions, will hold their initial practice session tomorrow morning at 11:00 o'clock at Alexandra, Park (weather permitting) and any boy interested in playing junior baseball this sum- mer is invited to turn out with the "Hunters" and he will be made welcome tomorrow morning.

Port Arthur Comes Up With Their Best Dis- play of Series to Make It 3-2 -- Lorne Cha- bot Shines in Win- ners' Goal -- If Series Tied, 7th Game Will Be Played at Maple Leaf Gardens Port Arthur, April. 17 -- (CP) -- | Port Arthur's hustling West End Bruins forced the Western Canada junior hockey final series into a sixth game by shutting out Leth- bridge Native Sons 5-0 last night in a fixture in which the home club held a decided edge all the way. It was Bruins' second victory of the best-of-seven series. Native Sons, leading 3-1 in games before last night's encounter--they could have moved into the Memorial Cup finals against Barrie Flyers by win- ning jt--were checked to a stand- still by the Port Arthur Club, solid defensively as well as offensively. Bruins, fighting to stave off elimi- nation from the series left no doubt of their superiority. Lorne Chabot turned in a sparkling performance in Bruins' nets. The sixth game will be played here Monday. If a seventh game is necessary it will be played Wednes- day in Toronto. The Sons never recovered from the blistering pace set by the Port Arthur team, which whipped home three goals in the first five min- utes of play, added another near the end of the first period, and wrapped the game up neatly with its fifth goal in the final frame. Redhead Alf Childs paced the Port Arthur sharpshooters with two goals. Fred Baccari, Pete Durham and Buck Forslund scored the others. Native Sons were unable to rally from Port Arthur's goal-getting on- slaught in the first; the rampaging Bruins whipped in the tallies in few- er than 15 minutes. Native Sons turned on the heat in the first period, and the pace quickened in the last, but, despite their efforts, the Albertans couldn't get by the Bruins. Sons' best scoring chance went awry when Murphy fell as he near- ed Lorne Chabot's citadel. Chabot, backed by, a stalwart defense, turn- ed in a brilliant effort. Barton Bradley matched Mur- phy's effort by rifling a shot at Lethbridge goalie George Rodzin- yakSwhicH' forced him to make a diving save. . A roaring, capacity crowd of 4,500 saw Durham score at the 2:44 mark, Baccari follow with 61 seconds la- ter and Forslund add the third goal less than a minute afterwards.

Tigers Are In | Tight Spot As 3rd Comes Up ------ Montreal, April 17--(CP)--Ham- ilton's tenacious Tigers strike out again tonight in their third attempt in 4s many years on the Allan Cup trail when they saw.off with the power-laden Ottawa Senators in the third game of the best-three-of-five series, currently tied at 1.1. George Redding's seasoned crew have not given up hope of bringing Hamilton amateur hockey's most coveted crown. Three years ago they came charging out of the Senior Ontario Hockey Association and swept aside all. opposition only, to bow 'out tothe strong Calgary Stam- 'peders. Last year their luck desert: ed them in the Eastern finals when Montreal Royals suppressed them three straight. After edging the Senators 5.4 in the first game of the series in Ot- tawa, the Tigers dropped the second game, 2-1 in Toronto. The closeness of the scores indicates the even strength and the wise money around here today was even money and take your pick. PLAN BASEBALL REVIVAL 'Picton -- A group of.
