PAGE TEN THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE Trout Season Opened This Morning Bo i fe <P 3 56 3 4 a J <i) 8 i 5 No doubt sumerous Oshawa anglers were up before the sun this morning, in order to be out on their favorite stream when daylight arrived, for to- . day is May the 1st, the opening day of the trout fishing season. Here is a tip for "the boys" who are working men today but will be out tomorrow morning. If you don't krov: how or don't dare invade somebody's "private property" or fishing reserve, you can keep in mind, that somewhere, at one end of the property or the other, the stream you envy either comes in or goes out and crosses a public road or highway. Many a fine finny fellow has been caught under a country road bridge. A Sports Editorial - - Why Oshawa Veeds a Sports Stadium Does Oshawa need a "sports stadium"? There's a simple question which would draw an equally simple answer--a loud and energetic "Yes" from every sports enthusiast and sincere community-spirited resident of Oshawa, from the station agent to the shoe-shine boy. 3 The question does not need to be asked. However, the statement that "Oshawa 'meeds a sports stadium" should be explained, in view of the fact that today, the Oshawa Kinsmen Club, an energetic group of public-spirited young business and professional men, are launching a campaign to raise funds, with which to fulfill Oshawa's greatest sports need, an outdoor sports arena, to be known as "The Kinsmen Civic Memorial Stadium." The $60,000 project will consist of a completely walled area 450 feet long by 350 feet wide, to be located at the south end of the property which is known as "Kinsmen Park," immediately north of the Oshawa Arena, on the west side of the 'creek. . The wall is to be of cement block construction and the project in- cludes seating accommodation for 2,500, with plenty of available space for the erection of further seating accommodation, when the demand warrants. Dressing rooms, equipped with showers, an office building and public toilets will also be included. The huge area will accommodate baseball and rugby, as well as softball and other outdoor team sports and it will be completely flood- lighted, to permit "night games" in any sport. It is planned te form a "Sports C ion" of bers rep- resenting the various sports to be played in the stadium and it will be their duty to dictate the policy and allot the privileges of the stadium to all teams requesting accommodation. The financing of the project is of course the major problem but with the vigorous enterprise displayed by the Oshawa Kinsmen as a guide and an example, it is confident] expected that the "Stadium Fund" will grow rapidly to the required stature. In addition to having pledged themselves to further contributions, for which several money-raising projects are already planned, in ad- dition to conducting a drive for funds, the Kinsmen Club started the drive with a handsome donation of $10,000. : Several of Oshawa's large industries as well as various organizations and sports associations have signified their inténtions of making donations to the fund, while numerous individuals have also voiced their willingness to contribute. Everyone in Oshawa should contribute! There isn't a city or town of comparative size in the Province of Ontario and perhaps in the entire Dominion of Canada, which has as much sports activity as our own city. Practically every form of sports By KEN BOTWRIGHT Canadian Press Staff Writer Toronto, May 1--(CP) -- The op- ening ball i» the Canadian Bowling Association tournament here this week was thrown by the man who | claims to have invented five.pin bowling. He is Thomas Francis Ryan, 76- year-old native of Guelph, Ont. In- terviewed as he watched the strikes . and spares pile up in the tourna- ment which lasts until May 15, he sald he modified the game of 10- pins to 'tive.pin bowling 38 years ago to give the white-collar worker a game within his strength. Ryan -- Tommy to his friends -- is an art and antique dealer, auc~ tioneer and all-round sports fan. During his many trips to large American cities he first took an interest in bowling. In 1905 he in- stalled the first 10-pin bowling al. leys in Canada in a pool'room he and his brother jointly owned here. "We had plenty of customers," he sald. "But most of our customers were office workers and professional men. After two or three games of 10-pins they were worn out and their thumbs were scraped raw.' He said that in 1810 he revised the game to suit "those without muscles of a truck driver." He reduced the number of pins to five, had them made lighter and smaller and used small balls, He made the game more difficult --but more interesting -- when he devised a new scoring system. The first Canadian bowling lea- gues were formed in the next few years. Bowling alleys spread across Ryan retired in 1920 from the in- | dustry he started. Now, white hair- lew, | Canadian bowling clubs and still | bowls a bit himself. he's honorary president of most He says he has only one regret. "I was so busy building up my | games in the old days that I forgot to have it patented. I missed mak- ing a fortune." BARRIE FLYERS FACE MUST WIN TONIGHT Pa A 4 Port Arthur Bruins Favored To Cop Memorial Cup Tonight Betting Odds Put Cup in Western Hands Even Though Barrie Showed Stronger in Last Game In Pretty Good Shape Toronto, May 1--(CP)--Port Ar- thur's West End Bruins can say it with a victory over Barrie Flyers tonight and take home the Memor- ial Cup and the Canadian junior hockey championship. Bruins enter tonight's fourth game of the best-of-seven final set with a 3-0 lead in games and on the short end of 3-1 odds. A victory for the lakehead team would give the west its 16th Memorial Cup in the 30 years of competition. Their opposition, Barrie Flyers, are not conceded much chance of winning a single game in the series which they were favored to take handily before the first game. Flyers will be fighting with their backs against the wall. Besides that, their coach does not like the offi- cials. Doubt as to whether tonight's game would be played originated last Wednesday when coach Hap Emms flatly stated his team would not play unless new referees were assigned to 'handle the remaining games. - Emms was overruled by the club president, manager and treasurer Thursday night. Secretary-Mana- ger George Dudley of the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association an- nounced the referees in question, Vic Linquist of Winnipeg and Ken Mullins of Montreal, will continue to work the series. Bruins, who took a strangle hold on the dominion title by waltzing through the first two games 10-8 and 8-1, and then squeezing out a 5-4 victory in the third match, are expected to end it all tonight. Bar- rie fans, however, look back on Flyers' performance in the third game and hope the series will be extended to at least a fifth match. Sta: S INTERNATIONAL LEAGUE WwW. L. Montreal .......

Big League Baseball Yesterday By JACK HAND Bill Meyer, long celebrated as "the best manager in the miners," seems right at home in big time. His Pittsburgh Pirates, only a half game out of first place, are the sur- prise-of-the-month in the National League. For years it looked as though Meyer never would get to the ma- jors. But last fall when owner Frank McKinney decided Billy Herman was not the man he wanted, he left general-hanager Roy Hamey help pick his next manager. Hamey, who had teamed with Meyer suc- cessfully in many Yankee farm ci- ties, called for Bill. Pirates have to bank on a piich- ing staff of old-timers like Rip Sewell, now one of three pitchers in the league with a perfect 2-0 reé- cord. Sewell failed to go the route yes- terday in the Pirates' 10-4 romp over Chicago. Kirby Higbe had to mop up despite an eight-run spurt in the second inning. < Ralph Kiner, Clyde Kluttz and Rojek each banged out three hits against the Cubs who outhit the Bucs, 15-12. 'New York's lead shrunk to a half game after Boston's 7-2 victory Bob Elliott and Jeff Heath all hit » | homers off Poat, the Giants' start- five hits for his first win, Whitey Lockman 'and Willard Marshall homered for the losers. St. Louis Cardinals, finally begin- ning to hit, rallied for seven runs in the seventh at Cincinnati, down- ing the Reds 13-7. Catcher Joe Gar- aglola broke a 5-5 tie in the big in- ning with a grand slam homer. Stan Musial, however, led the at- tack with five hits including a homer and a pair of doubles. Brooklyn followed up its 17-run romp over the Glants by bombing Transportation Is Big Problem At Olympic Games -------- London, May 1 -- (CP)--London gets a new transport system this summer--10,000 bus routes to carry the 5,000 to 7,000 athletes and offi- cials from 21 living centres to near- ly 100 training grounds and Olym- plc venues. The man behind the job, London- born Basil J. Wainwright, who "hates the city" and lives "in. the country with my own garden and chicks," has . pin.pointed routes through thousands of streets with a thoroughness almost unbelievable. Transportation Unlimited He is responsible for transporta- tion of athletes, trainers and coaches and has worked for more than a year on the job. It is one of the biggest problems in the colossal or- ganization of the: games. From the time athletes arrive in Britain, whether by ship, air' or rail, Wainwright and a fleet of buses station wagons and cars and a staff of about 300 will be ready to serve them round-the-clock. Wainwright guesses © Olympic transportation will cover 341,564 miles at a cost of sixpence (10c) a mile. He has figured the exact mileage and route from any living quarters to any training ground "down to the last 100 yards and last 10 seconds." "We have allowed for traffic hold- ups, bus and car breakdowns and practically every conceivable ob- staele that might crop up," he said an interview. "We are avoiding the congested areas as much as pos- sible, probably at the expense of round-about routes, but 'we aren't taking chances." The first day, with its opening ceremony, will need 200 coaches to transport athletes to Wembley Sta- dium for the grand march past. He has to figure a system whereby athletes arrive in alphabetical or- der of their' countries, except that by ancient custom Greece will lead and the host country, Britain, brings up the rear. Canadians at Uxbridge Canada's track and field stars will live at Uxbridge R.AF. Station, about 12 miles from the heart of London "If, for instance, they want to train at any of the practice grounds, all that is necessary is a call to us in advance, giving the number of athletes, time and place. We'll do the rest. "This goes for all 58 countries. We'll take athletes anywhere at any time as long as it is on Olympic business. Sightseeing tours can't be managed." \ Reduced freight rates on horses, bicycles, motorcycles, weapons and any other accoutrement needed by competitors also will be in effect. One of the neatest jobs Wain- wright has negotiated has been with Scotland Yard. If ah athlete is lost or takes "one too many" of a night and is picked up by police, he needn't worry . Edmonton To Try For Second Win : Sports Roundup | By HUGH FULLERTON, JR. New York, May 1 -- (AP)--Some- times a guy takes a liking to a race horse for no other reason than he likes its looks, or its name, or the way it runs -- as some horse players have learned to their dismay . . . Two years ago at Churchill Downs this writer took a fancy to a hand- some, bright chestnut colt named Jet Pilot and as a result picked it to win last year's Kentucky Derby . « Instead of retiring on these un- earned laurels as a racing expert, we looked at Calumet's Coaltown when he. equalled the six furlong record at Hialeah last winter -- so here we go again.

I recreation or athletics is carried on in Oshawa and is conducted by one or more organized clubs or associations. Most cities and towns have an adequate "closed park" or stadium, where their athletic téams can stage a game or performance and obtain from an appreciative public a measure of the financial support which is absolutely necessary, if sport clubs are to successfully meet the heavy ex- penses they have and carry on from year-to-year, without having to rely entirely upon the generosity of some sports-minded businessmen, indivi- dual or "commercial sponsor", Oshawa sport teams and clubs have had to "scratch along" for years without the aid of a closed park and in recent years, Oshawa has become almost the only one of the "major sport centres" in the province that does not have the benefits of a floodkighted park, with dressing rooms, etc. . In an industrial city such as Oshawa, night sports under floodlights will be a real boon to the "working man" who loves his sports entertain- ment, He will be able to eat his supper at leisure, get "cleaned up" and then go to the stadium to enjoy watching two teams in sports combat. He'll have time ta work in the garden for a while, cut the lawn or read his paper, before attending the game. The mad rush that accompanies "twilight games" and so keeps numer prospective fans from attending, will not be present. cg Oshawa citizens have long been proud of the prowess displayed en the athletic field by their teams. When the Kinsmen Civic Memorial Stadium is erected, Oshawa .citizens will have something else of which to be proud, a sports stadiur, which they will proudly show to their visit- ing relatives and friénds, an accommodation which they will throroughly appreciate themselves, Every citizen and sports fan df Oshawa can share in this pride. Every citizen should be in the position to claim a share of pride and credit for The Kinsmen Civic Memorial Stadium. The opportunity is at hand! A new sports stadium will add to this city's athletic prominence and it will play a full share in building young | Canadian citizens in this community. You can proudly point to The Kinsmen Civic Memorial Stadium and be able to say with great personal satisfaction, "I helped our city build our stadium", How you can do this? The answer is simple. All you have to do is give (i.e "S.:dium Fund" your personal support, for every little boost will help to build. Surely "a day's pay" is a reasonable fee for a lifetime of excellent sports accommodation and improved athletic entertainment, not only for yourself but fo~ your children. . The tremendous value of such a project to the cily as a whole, and to you and your family, in particular, is beyond estimate. The value of your participation In this project can be estimated in terms of "'com- munity spirit".

The Royals' collected nine hits off young Ernie Groth, and Johnny Podgajny including Jim Bloods~ worth's third homer of the season in the first. Al Gionfriddo batted in Bob Morgan with what proved to be the deciding run in the eighth. Homers proved the downfall of the Leafs. Johnny Lucadello" socked two four-baggers to drive-in 'all 'three Newark runs. He is the first Newark batter to hit for the circuit this season. Al Hodkey was the victim of Luca- dello's two blasts.
