TUESDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1948 THE DAILY T IMES-GAZETTE PAGE THIRTEEN BOWLING NEWS ST, GREGORY'S BOWLING NEWS After having a holiday from bowling for one week I think the members of the club let their muscles go back to their-ususl lazy habits judging from the scores this week. Let's h it doesn't take too long for us all to get back in ghe groove. The men's high single for this week taken by Boris Shelenkoff with 209 and h'~h triple by Millie Hanna also with 622, rs: Delen Currie 99; ; Bob Powers 88; Betty hy 34; John Kent ; Bill Alitn 2. semon Carrie Shaw Norris 98; June 70; Bill Bchoeneau Leafs Alley Cats .

EXHIBITION BOWLING The Toronto Ladies Stafford's Team e still champions and they proved it n convincing style when they beat our own Oshawa Atomic Ladies by a score of 3643 to 3344. However, the differ- ence in the score was mainly due to the wa girls being very corner pin le was very very few corner pin spayes. Apart from this, the Oshawa girls were every bit as good as the Toronto ladies. t e exhibition match was a very stirring and thrilling one .to watch as all the girls on both teams are good lers and the spectators enjoyed every moment of it. For the visitors, Lil Nairn with 779, Velma Barnes with 725 and Ollie Good- fellow with 716 were tops and for our own Oshawa team the shining - stars were Bea Ross with 752, Janet Peel with 73 and Effie Hezselwood with 695. UAWA MOTOR CITY BOWLING LEAGUE Ripley's Smoke Shop and Andy Nagy's killed two birds with the one stone on Friday night. They were scheduled to meet each other on the schedule, so they decided that the winner would also be the winner of the first section which was a tie. The Smokers made no mistake and besides winning the Friday night battle via the whitewash brush, they also emerged as first section winners much to the light of their , Bert Ripley, who 'was in attendance. The bodymen had a real bad night as all good clubs do once in a while. Wilson Batteries ended up on the short end when they clashed with Mutual Benefit. Eddie Branton and y Brady also being P nent. The batterymen just barely sal- vaged one in% by grabbing the last game by a few pins, Victor's Sports gained the maximum points from Rotish Men's Wear with "Shorty" Davies being the spearhead. Carl Creamer also helped the cause. Palm Cigars got the best of Jack Ross, "Pop" Bemis and Co. for 3 points. Kent's United Service Station seem to be slipping lately. Jubilee Pavilion and Warner Williams were both a man short and the radio- |g men just anklaged to pick up one point. The Jubilee boys are now In the running for top spot. Jubilee meet Andy Nagy's this week and this should e_good. Skinners moved into the lead in Soup two by blasting the Wheel and ire outfit. "Control" Fleming figures the Tiremen have been slighted from the publicity angle--he claims a team is never noticed when they occupy the middle spot in the standing, so the Tire gang moved down to the bottom rung. Cheer up "Dib", you can't do it all. "Red" Young gets an assist for Skinners for absenteeism. Trim Line finally stopped the Door- busters with Chuck Ford being the big shot. The Trimmers are much better than their first section bowling showed and this might be the turning point. Primers also showed improvement by Sport Shorts "From Britain London, --(CP)-- London boxing south of the Thames received a severe blow when German bombs wiped out The Ring in Blackfriars Road, but King's Hall a few hun- dred yards away still stands. It is in King's Hall that George Callaghan, last promoter of fight at The Ring, proposes to inaugu- rate weekly tournaments early in the New Year, King's Hall was a noted centre for boxing years before The Ring was built. In fact Callaghan's father, Jack, staged bouts there rivalling those at the old all-power- ful National Sporting Club 'and Wonderland. ' Georges Carpentier tad his fight in England there in Callaghan hopes a number of the old-timers will accept his invitation to turn up reopening night. He is even trying to persuade Carpentier to do the honors. More than. 7,000 betting disputes, have been settled "on the spot" on British racetracks since, 18° months ago, the Chester course was first to post inspectors at specified places in the betting rings to hear com- plaints by bookmakers or backers. The 7,000 figure is based on of- ficial estimates that every track averages 10 or more differences to adjust each racing day. Mostly the backers are wrong. Often they mislay winning tickets and present the wrong one to the bookie. When asked to search their pockets again they usually find the correct one. / Objections, especially when book- makers have paid out "first past the post," are other fruitful sourges of grievance. Most disputes are due to honest mistakes by one side or the other but ring officials say that when a bookie makes too many "honest" mistakes he is not con- sidered a nice person to have around and action is taken. Britain's speedboat and auto- mobile-racing veteran, Sir Malcolm Campbell, thinks he knows the secret of the costly failure of his Jet-engined speedboat Bluebird, in which he tried on Coniston water last year fo pip his own world speed record. "The air intakes are below the level of the jet," he said. "Air re- sistance -around these intakes, in front of the boat, checked the speed, "But we are not sure that this is the cause of the failure and until we. are, there is no hope of: going on. On top of all the disappoint- ment and expense is my belief that I could have raised the record from 141 miles an hour with 'a piston engine." A story going the rounds cone cerns the football player who had Just learned he had been valued at £40,000 ($160,000) on the transfer list. He was dashing in to nod home & centre--when his head became between the goalposts. blanking the Tannery squad. Jack James looked quite happy on Saturday morning. Inspection topped the Bus Drivers for 3 points while Shipping and Duplate split the sols, Shipping questioned the seventh bowler on the Duplate club.- We would like the teams "which" were granted the privilege to use it for the purpose it was meant for or we will be , | forced to withdraw it. F. E. Freeman's Light Rejects started off on the right foot in section 2 and they are tied for top place with Chev Bombers who also got away to a good star; for the maximum 'points. Export came out on top against the Lead Slingers and Jimmy Williams and his boys will .hard to shake from now on. The Bucks scored a nice win over the Boxers and Reg. Fair's Drivers, gained a split with the Bun Wagons. Cliff McQuarrie hit a very sour note when he dropped into the Lemon League. It is rumored that CIUff was bragging about his big score the previ- ous week. It's a cinch he won't brag about this one. Well, well,- the Heavy Reject club Is now on top in group four and th should keep PF, E. Freeman quiet for a little while in the Reject Dept. Fred McDonald should be able to hold his own now. Tin Shop had little troublé with the Dewsers and picked up the whole 4 points, George Dew was missing and it hasbeen sald that george was tired from carrying the load on this team, Maintenance mean to keep out of the cellar from now on and Frank Hill will be really trying from this date on. Let's hope he can get more support from his mates. The Chevvies had better be in form on Wednesday night.

Golf "Therapy" Helps Youngster ~ With Poliomyelitis Winnipeg -- (CP) -- When young Billy Roy of Pine Falls, winner of a couple of Manitoba junior golf championships, trudged the fair- ways and greens following his favor- ite pastime, he little knew it would save him from permanent paralysis. After playing one round in the Manitoba open tournament last t, Billy fell victim to. polio myelitis. Doctors who have been} seeing a lot of him in Winnipeg General Hospital are unanimous in their opinion that he warded off the crippling blow of poliomyelitis only because of his strong legs and stomach muscles, developed over the miles he walked on Pine Falls and other courses. Back in September, Billy's legs were heavy and all but dead. But slowly and surely therapy worked its wonders. Billy has the use of both legs now, and the doctors say golf will put him back on his feet in earnest. They're encouraging him to hit the tee as soon as pos- sible. Meantime a shiny three iron and putter decorate his room. His bed- side table is littered with back copies of golf magazines. Billy says he'll be back at the first tee when the first grass rears its head at Pine Falls next spring. : Spicy Bits From Other | Sports Cols. Moncton, N.B,, Dec. 6--(CP) -- Although Clarence 8S. Campbell, President of the National Hockey League, says there is "ulterior mo- tive" behind his ban on fraternaiza- tion among players on NHL. teams, his edict has provoked eye- .brow-lifting from one Maritime Sports enunciator. Dave (Monton Daily Times) Mc- | Kay, referring to Campbell's "just- | good sense" orders says: ".,...At first glance it may seem unnecessary for the good man to make such an' announcement, for would you think the public is | going to be happier if they believe | that Max and Doug Bentley aren't | on speaking terms during the win- ters?" What About Politicians "However, if they insist on ath- letes maintaining their distance off the ice, they will have to insist that the politicians refuse to fraternize off the floor of the house and busi- ness rivals cross the street when they see each other. "The players know their salaries depend on who they play, and the amount of their bonuses depends on how far they get and how well they do and the fans know it too." Opines Dave: .'It seems to us that it is part of sport that the players should play their best in the game at hand and then forget about it afterward." It seems that sn the official re- port of the Olympic Games, Cana- da is given a"perfect alibi for fail- ure'to win an event she should have walked away with. Alex (Halifox Herald) Nickerson says the opposition used "crooked canoes." Alex quotes from the record to prove his point: " "These canoes had been brought over by several European teams and the chief feature which distinguish- ed them from normal canoes was the curve in their keels.'" Crooked Canoes The meaning of this potent piece of information is that when the keel is curved, naturally tending to turn the canoe in one direction, the paddler has only to paddle on the opposite side to compensate for this and make the craft steer straight. . Sports of the Past (From the Scrapbook of J. J. CLUET-JESSOME, former Maritime sports promoter and physical instructor). "THE BOY WITH THE PUNCH" Let's go back a few years and around then if you were to find a heavier puncher than Eddie Shea, you would have to go out-of the féather-weight division or out of the country. In fact, Eddie Shea was called "the Loy with.the sock!" and he had only two letters in his alpha- bet--"K.0." On the strength of a record Eddie compiled over a stretch of six years, was the hard- est hitter among the American- born feather-weights. In a total of 64 bouts he had won 25 inside the limit, However, three feather-weights 'had better knockout records than Shea, they were born outside of the U.8.A--Kid Chocolate, the Cuban; Ignacio Fernandez, and Johnny Datlo, Filipinos. vr In a bout in Milwaukee, Shea knocked Joe Pagalina down nine times in the first round and finish- ed him in the second. He had floored Pee Wee Kaiser four times for the counts of nine in the course of a 10-round match and did the same to Young Montreal. Shea was born in Chicago, Ill, 1905, 5 feet 4 inches. - BUZZ-SAW SCRAPPER Louis Kid Kaplan was a worthy champion and fought some good bat- tiles in defense of his crown. That was many years back. In that period an elimination tournament was ordered by the New York Boxing Commission to find a worthy successor to Johnny Dun- dee. Kid Kaplan, we will recall, was born in Meriden, Conn, and was a veritable buzz-saw in action and in fact the ultimate winner and was accepted by all as the world's feather-weight title-holder. Indeed, he was an able scrapper --Babe Herman and Bobby Garcia had furnished the main opposition in a number of contests. Kaplan had passed®the way of his predeces- sor Johnny Dundee, and moved in- to the light-weight class. The buga- boo of making weight dethroned Kaplan, the retired world's feather- weight champion of 1925-1927. FRENCHMAN HELD TITLE Andre Routis was the second Frenchman to have held the world's feather-weight crown. He was born in Bordeaux, France, July 16, 1900. Routis 'and Canzoneri clashed on Sept. 28, 1928, at Madison Square Garden and the Frenchman was re- turned the winner after a hard tus- sle in 15 rounds. Routis weighed about 126 pounds and his actual height 5 feet 5 1-2 inches. HAD TEMPTUOUS, PAREER Frankie Neil, an Irls -American, was born in San Frapcisgo on July 25,, 1883; 116 to 122 , pounds in weight and stood § feef.p inches in the ring. dy This young boxer had a temptu- ous career as champiqq He. had gone to England and on Oct. 17, 1904, was beaten by Joe: Bowker in 20 rounds. Bowker, thereupon claim- ed the world's title and 'was so rec- ognized. A Neil had lost a 20-round decision to Abe Attell, a feather<weight, and was later knocked out by Owen Moran, an English featherweight, and theerfore retired. Joe Bowker was five days young- er than Prankie Neil; was 2 1-2 in- ches shorter and about the same weight. 40 BITTER ROUNDS One of the most interesting ring fights to take place some years back in the memories of old-timers was the: Battling Nelson and Ad Wolgast scrap in 1910. It was talked about many times, especially in sport magazines throughout the country. On that big night in Richmond, California, a terrific downpour of rain held things back for half an hour and finally the fight began The Tobacco of Quality and lasted for 40 rounds -- three hours of furious rnd bitter blows and still the rain was falling. Nel- son took a bad lacing and accord- ing to history records was never the same boxer again, - . BELGIUM PERFORMER Armando Schackles was once Bel- glum light-weight performer with quite '8 'successful career. It will be recalled' that" Armando, during the years 1923-26, had engaged in 98 matches--31 knockouts, won from 58, lost 6 and drew 3. HAD WON N.E. TITLE Andy Callahan was a former light-weight boxing champion of New England. The Irish-American ringman -was born Aug. 2, 1910, 'Lawrence, Mass. « Junto WELTER y Callaghan, not related to Andy, was a formcr Junior welter- weight ghampion. Mushy came from New York, born Nov. 3, 1005, weigh- ed around 135 to 140 pounds. | lahoma - Aggies football | Sports Roundup By HUGH FULLERTON, JR.
