OSHAWA DAIRY LEAGUE There were quite a number of good singles rolled on Thurs, night, and sev- eral times the records set on previous nights were threatened. Boyce Wa- ram, with three good singles totalling 808, was top performer for the night, and came very close to breaking the records for high single and triple with handicap. Bud, Henderson is out after the high triple without handicap, and he almost latched on to it Thurs. night. After the first night of the second sec- tion, we find the Covers at the top of the heap with four points. They really gave the Cans a trimming, and came up with a nice team score of 2760. Bert Amey and Doug. Hart were the wonder boys fer the Covers, turning in some mighty fine scores. The Cases and Caps fought it out on 5 & 6, but with Boyce turning on the steam, how could the Cases lose? Carl Scammell put in a nice bid for the Caps who took the short end of a 3-1 count. Although the Carriers were short-handed, they man- aged to hold the Cappers down to one point, making Helen Henderson very happy since the duel was with friend Elliott | hubby's team. Sam's Cartons enjoyed a | prosperous night, and took 3 points | from the Crates. Sam still hasn't hit his stride this season. 'The best triples were: Boyce Waram | 808; Grace Holmes 685; Doug.

STATION | his plans to put forward a scheme for a knock-out cricket competition 4to a portion of the financial plan Sport Shorts From Britain By SHAUN McQUILLAN Canadian Press Staff Writer London, Nov. 19--(CP)--Britain isn't breeding enough young golf- ers, and it's worrying governors of the sport. With costs rocketing, they see golf becoming what it was once condemned to be--a rich and old man's game, They're going to launch a cam- paign to help bring the game with- in the pocket range of the average player. The would-be golfer today is faced with an outlay up to £80 ($320). Pre-war his clubs and kit, now boosted by a 66 per cent pur- chase tax, would have been less than £20. A move to cut Initial cost to make it easier for the beginner will be made by the English Golf Union which also intends to discuss other ways and means of encouraging youngsters. The post-war period began with Britain's golf clubs, some of them known throughout the world, in a sorry plight. Little golf 'was played during the war, big stretches of terrain sacred to golfers had been plowed up in the national emerg- ency, and club secretaries looked ruefully at dwindling membership lists. The general rise in costs meant that many clubs had to increase the annual charge on members; some even imposed entrance fees One club, the Royal and Ancient, has set an example which others may follow. In the future the en- trance fee will be wiped out com- pletely for those aged 18 to 26. In- stalment payment of fees has been inaugurated. Another suggestion the Union will probably support is the restriction of the usual 14 clubs to seven, thus requiring a lighter bag, a reduced cost. It would eliminate the ex- pense of a caddy. Edward Martell, a London County councillor, has a plan he believes meet the Australians on more level terms on the cricket field in future. The L.C.C. has agreed to discuss in London's parks. | At 39, Martell still is a cricketer. | He often plays for the National | Liberal Club. He points out that | the park for bowls, swimming and | tennis, but there is no such award | for cricket. { A knock-out competition, which | would be open to various grades of players, would have the result of spotlighting likely players who could be selected for the country Next year's Oxford and. Cam- bridge epic Boat Race will be row- ed over the usual Putney-Mortlake course at 11.30 a.m. March 26--one of the earliest times for several years. This arrangement dispels any idea of moving the race elsewhere, as was suggested early this year be- cause. of financial difficulties. When Cambridge beat Oxford last March an official program was sold the public and the response was satisfactory enough to keep the race on its historic course. Mayor Objects - To Financing Detroit, Nov. 20--(CP)--Mayor Eugene Van Antwerp objected today presented to the city council by the Detroit Olympic Games organ- izing committee, to pay for the building of a stadium. Presented by former Mayor Ed- ward J. Jeffries, Sr., the committee asked the council for $2,000,000.in budget appropriations for the next two years. An additional $1,800,- 000 would be sought from the state, and an attempt would be made to raise $600,000 by public subscrip- tion, Van Antwerp said he opposed making budget appropriatioms until full effort had been made to raise the entire amount by public sub- scription. Jeffries told the council that $3,- 600,000 raised in the manner he outlined would build a stadium to seat 60,000. Some of the less experienced bowlers are catching on to the game. The Nightmares turned on a power house and garnered all four points from their opposition the Gudufuls. He- len Polak and Ann Henderson each turned in a score of over 200 in one game and Merle Corrin totalled up a triple of 734, We wonder what happen- ed to the Gudufuls. Their strong men . Langmald and Bill Blight just couldn't deliver the goods. Clara Dain- ty saved their prestige somewhat by a triple of 648. Could it be that Boyd as cheer leader just didn't cheer enough. Better luck next week. Don. Brown scored a new high single with 320. That is going to be hard to beat. The other members of the Perkies team are improving and it looks as if they are going to be right in the running, | MILLS MOTOR SALES 266 KING STREET WEST e PHONE 4750 GM AND ACCESSORIES OUR SERVICE STATION at 265 KING ST.

TRUCK LOAD- OF WATER ENTERS PICTURE OF EAST'S FINAL Ottawa, Nov. 20--(CP)--Old man weather--as unpredictable: as a woman, and just as persistent--to- day entered as one of the big fac- tors in the crucial test of strength between Ottawa Rough Riders and Hamilton Tigers. Big Four champions and crowned lords of the Ontario Rugby Foot- ball Union, respectively, they meet on a muddy field today for Eastern Canada Football honors and a chance to hit the football jackpot --the Grey Cup classic. But for 24 hours now, old man weather has swept that field with rain--a continual downpour that meterologists say is the greatest Ottawa has seen this fall. The downpour is not expected to 'end until at least kick-off time, at 1.45 p.m. EST, and perhaps not un- til the first quarter is over. Nevertheless undeterred, at least 15,000 fans are expected to crowd the stadium, some -sitting it out with umbrellas and sheets of news- 'paper over their heads in unpro- tected bleacher seats. They will seé the Hamilton team entering as under-dogs with bet- ting dopesters willing to wager 2-1 that Riders will emerge as victors. But as sports observers agree, with the mud and rain and the ball as slippery as an eel, it may well be anybody's game. "Cat Jr. Gridders Like Wet Field Hamilton, Nov. 20--(CP)--More than 4,000 fans are expected to ignore a forecast of light rain today to watch the first official junior Canadian football championship game since 1933. Saskatoon Hilltops and Hamilton Wildcats will square off in muddy Civic Stadium, soaked by more than 24 hours of rain. The weatherman predicted no let-up from the in- termittent rain which began Friday. Local football fans had been say- ing that Hilltops, with an impress- ive record of 12 wins and one loss behind them this year, were a team that liked the mud.

Following the game there'll be a civic dinner and Sunday the Hill- tops will make a trip to Niagara Falls, The game will revive the East- West Junior classic that started in 1928 and ran through until 1932, the last time a Western team came east for the Canadian Rugby Union Junior title. Eastern teams won the title four years running after Regina picked off the first one. In.1933, the last time a C.R.U. title game was played, it was an all-Eastern final. But two western teams--Regina Dales and Vancou- ver Blue Bombers--won unofficial titles since 1933. the FIGHTS LAST NIGHT By The Assoclated Press -..

World Champion Leafs Hobble To Big Grind Toronto Map'e Leafs, ailing champions of the hockey world, open a nine-games-in-15 days grind tonight against Dit Clapper's bruis- ing Boston Bruins. It's the only game scheduled for tonight but all six clubs in the league see action Sunday. Leafs, sunk in a threeway cellar tie after two years of winning the Stanley Cup, haven't won a game on the road this year. They have five away games during the next two weeks. Bruins can move into first place by beating Leafs tonight and can dig in at the top by licking New York Rangers tomorrow. Boston now is in second place, a scant point behind the leading De- troit Red Wings who are at home Sunday to Montreal Canadiens. Following a foot injury to utility forward Joe Klukay, Leafs last night ordered rookie right winger Fleming | Mackell to Pitfsburh Hornets to re- place forward Harry Taylor, who came up from the farm last week. New York Rangers, still stricken by injuries, have another go at the Boston Garden jinx Sunday night. Rangers haven't won a game there since the middle of the 1946-47 sea- son. In the other Sunday game the Leafs meet the Black Hawks at Chicago. The Leafs, Hawks and Rangers are tied for the cellar with eight points each. Hopes of the Rangers were prightened with, the news that cen- tre Buddy O'Connor should be back in harness by the end of next week and Nick Mickoski, injured 10 days ago, will play against Chicago next Thursday. Coach Frank Boucher to date -- like the rest of the league's coaches -- says he isn't too worried about his Rangers showing so far in the grind. "Up to now Rangers have had all the bad luck," he said Friday. He predicted that the red-hot Detroit Red Wings would find the going a bit tougher now that star Forward Ted Lindsay is recuperat- ing from .an injury at his Kir! 'a Lake home. Cerdan Returns To U.S. To Listen To Money Offers New York, Nov. 20--(AP)--Marcel Cerdan, hottest drawing card in boxing outside of Joe Louis, is back in town, listening to offers. The tipoff on the dollar value of the Frenchman is the fact that he was met at the plane by both Harry Markson of the 20th Century Sport- ing.Club and Andy Niederreiter of the rival Tournament of Champions. Cerdan is under contract to de- 'fend his middleweight title for' the T. of C. next June against Tony Zale, the man he knocked out at Jersey City in September. But he's not under contract for over-the- weight appearances. "I am sure he will fight for both promoters this winter," said Sammy Richman, who will represent him on his current exhibition tour. "We are not involved in any boxing war. The Garden gave us our first chance and the T. of C. gave us a shot at the title. There is no. reason we cannot, fight for both." Cerdan will remain a month, making six or eight' appearances in four-round exhibitions. Two dates are definite. He will show at Lewis- ton, Me.,, Dec. 2 and at Cleveland Dec. 6 on Larry Atkins' big Christ- mas show, Spicy Bits From Other Sports ( Cols. Toronto, Nov. 20--(CP)--Glance through the newspaper you're read- ing and youll probably find more "peefs" to a column on the sports pages than in any other section. Many a sports writer, for instance, has contended that Joe Louis has stayed in the fight game too long and should get out to let the new- comers battle for the champion- ship; others have rapped six-man- in-the-ring wrestling shows as pure publicity and detrimental to good wrestling. Some have argued that Conny Smythe has 'gone too far in his hockey trades and has weakened the Toronto Maple Leafs badly. And the gripes go on and on. Right now sports writers are in a Tdither about the way referees in- discriminately, so they say, hand out assists on goals. It's just a habit, says Ivan (Hamilton Spec- tator) Miller. He goes on: "The habit comes from the N.-H.L. where assists are a dime a dozen." Now the habit has worked its way into provincial and local leagues, and Miller adds: "Ninety per cent of the time the officials must ask members of the scoring team who provided the as- sist and in this case . .. well, na- turally." Rex (Guelph Mercury) MacLeod calls punching Pete Zaduk "Guelph's gift to the box-fight in- dustry." And looking at Zaduk's record, MacLeod may be right. Montreal's Harry Hurst was re- cently dumped on his abbreviated trousers by the hard-hitting Zaduk. And to Hurst, who looked on punch- ing Pete as a stepping stone to a return bout with Johnny Greco, it must have been quite a dumping. Zaduk has been coming along fast. Only a few weeks ago he gained a draw in his fight with Rockabye Ross, the new Canadian middleweight champion. Some fight fans think Pete should have got the referee's nod over Ross. Sammy Keller, Zaduk's manager, insists Zaduk was announced as the winr the bout from the ring, but awoke next morning to find the decision had been changed to a draw. Brockville Fighter Scores 5th Round Win Brockville, Nov. 20--(CP)--Norm Thompson, young lightweight from the Brockville Boys Boxing Club, had the roar of a Malone, N. Y,, crowd in his ears Thursday night as he scored a fifth-round T.K.O. over Ottawa's Ronnie Lascelles in a scheduled five-round bout. The Brockville lad, who now has only to conquer Toronto's Alan MacFator to become Eastern Can- ada's foremost amateur fighter, threw leather from the opening bell and was at no time in trouble. He had, Lascelles holding on, hang- ing on the ropes and down three times before the referee was forced to stop the bout in the fifth. The local lad won a clean-cut decision over Armond Iacobaccio, Quebec golden gloves lightweight champion last Saturday night in the Brockville Armouries and with this win over Lascelles becomes Eastern Ontario as well as Quebec champion.

Nov. 20--(CP)--A revitalized Amateur Athletic Union of Canada appeared to be on the cards today. In one of the most business-like sessions of ®ecent years, union de- legates buckled down to what some termed "House-cleaning measures" and in less than five hours decided on: 1, A dominion-wide fund-raising campaign with a minjmum objec- tive of $5,000. The A.A.U. dangled a lure to would-be subscribers: honorary life memberships in the Union to all who send in $50 or more. 2. An early start on British Em- pire games plans with notice of an "all-out" drive for funds to send a team to New Zealand in 1950 and appointment of past president George C. Macum of Montreal as chairman of a general committee in charge of games preparations. 3. Creation of a central school for coaches in efforts to make coaching methods conform across the coun- try in an effort to raise the stand- ards of track and field athletes and an annual school for officials in each branch of the union. 4. Appointment of an honorary president and 15 honorary vice- presidents composed of leading fig- ures in Canada's business life who, it is expected, will lend active sup- port to promotion of amateur sports in Canada. Announcement of per- sonnel is expected today. Delegates set up an Amateur Athletic Hall of Fame designed to perpetuate the names of great Ca- nadian amateur athletes. It is ex- pected it will take the form of a "Golden Book" with pictures and a resume of their athletic achieve- ments. 'Machum suggested that all Cana- dian Olympic first-place winners in sports allied with the AAU.-- wrestling, boxing, track 'and field, gymnastics, fencing and swimming --be named to the Hall immediate- ly. Delegates set the matter over The Dominion track and field championships and B.E. games trials will be held in Toronto next Labor Day week-end and Montreal was awarded the Dominion indoor championships March 7 and the Dominion interscholastic meet June 4. Delegates agreed to dispense with zone trials for the B.E. games and AAU. branch'eliminations will be held with "Satisfactory standards set up", REFUSE RELEASE North Bay, Ont., Nov. 18 -- (CP) --Lethbridge Maple Leafs of the Western Canada Senior Hockey League have refused to release Stan Maxwell who had hoped to play with North Bay Black Hawks Good Crowd Despite Poor: Weather at "Open House" Ceremonies at Curling Club -- New- comers Given Instruce tion and Old Members Play Some Friendly Matches . The Oshawa Curling Club held its "Open House" last night and despite the inclement weather, the ceremonies for the official throw- ing of the first "stone" were very well attended. All eight "ices" were fully occu- pied and after Ernie Parsons doffed his fedora for a Tam and let slide the granite, the friendly games got underway, and the usual atmo- sphere of the club was resumed for another season, : President Maurice Hart welcomed all new members, told of how the hydro cut-offs were affecting the well-being of the freezing plant, and then wished everyone the best of luck in their games. The new curlers were led onto ices 1 and 2 for instruction under the direction of Paul Michael. He and two other old hands took the newcomers into tow and first show ed them how to toe thg board. Hav=- ing gotten all of them to do this, the instructors then launched the greenhorns into the tricks of the trade; inturn, outurn, weight etc. After that period of indoctrinae tion, they held a few games to iron out the quirks that naturally de- veloped, and before the night was through, the Curling Club had gained a large number of new boosters. The power cut-offs this year have played havoc with almost all the ordinary bonspiel schedules, and the only one seemingly that will be held as usual is the Boxing Day match. The club games committee under Dr. J.-Brock has however arranged a number of evening 'spiels which should keep the winter season a full one, After the new year, a memorial trophy dedicated to the late A. G. Lambert will be put up for annual competition, and' will of course draw some top flight players. Mr. Lambert was one of the club's most active members, and his place will be missed greatly. Mr, Ernie Parsons, a past presie dent, of the club and now second vice-president of the Ontario Curl- ing Association was given the honor of throwing the first stone, Mr. Parsons has been connected with the club in a playing capacity since 1920. In the early part of the evening, there were over 80 persons present, and of these it was estimated, over 15 were newcomers. Already the club has signed around 35 new members, and with this influx of newbloods to stir the oldsters, things will be kept humming for another season.
