PAGE TEN 3 TO WA a A 5 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE ~ __JUESDAY, DECEMBER 14, 1948 _ -------- PORT NAPSHOTS Y. [] Geo. H. | Campbell S The "trade winds" are blowing in the O.H.A. Junior "A"ycircles, as tomorrow brings December 15th (deadline day) and here in Oshawa, the local hockey bugs are buzzing and tongues are wagging. There's a trade tentatively arranged between Oshawa Generals and Guelph Biltmores | tq but. since negotiations are not yet completed, will not be completed until "tomorrow and--may be dropped entirely, after all, we are not going to name the players involved, for obvious reasons. However, a certain Osh- awa defenseman may be leaving shortly for Guelph, with at least one forward coming this way. As a matter of fact, the sweater-switch may . involve a couple of Oshawa forwards also along with one or two other " Guelph players, if the trade grows, as the trend now indicates. Windsor sent 'players to Guelph in a trade and Coach Kennie Holmeshaw is still seeking improvement. He'd like to get Hassard of Marlboros (wha wouldn't?) but they'd probably want either goalie Beasley or his ace defenseman, Martin, so there'd be no gain there. ! * * * The Junior "A" schedule fonight brings up a couple of games with Marlboros playing St. Mike's--and that will be quite a battle since Marlboros have 9 points and the "Irish" have a total of 10. Galt alse has 10 points. Barrie Flyers visit the Tee Pees in St. Catharines tonight in the other game, but the one at Maple Leaf Gardens will be a sizzler. Tomorrow night Oshawa Generals travel to Windsor--their third trip to the Border City this season--and unless they meet in the , playoffs, tomorrow night's jaunt will be Oshawa's last of the season to Windsor. The Spitfires come to Oshawa this Saturday night, for their first visit of this season--and they'll be welcomed by a record crowd, the fans remembering last year's hectic playoff series between the Spitfires and Generals, Tee Pees are back in Barrie tomorrow night and Stratford visits Guelph. , ! * The local Juntor *B" hockey téam, now noiding regular workouts, will * know their season's schedule very shortly, it is expected. "Stew" McTavish, local O.H.A. officer, is the convener for. this district group. Osoawd au Whitby clubs are in the happy position. of being in the middle of the territory since there are two Toronto teams entered in the loop, with Lindsay and Peterboro on the other side of the grouping. It should be a compact race with plenty of interest. The local "B" team will be almost entirely "homebrew" with a lot of "City Legge graduates on the roster. * * . MINUTE SPORT PAGE--Jack Dempsey and Jack Sharkey in the same ring again, along with a half-dozen mat mastadons--that's the attraction théy've arrangéd for Toronto sport fans . .

The Sas- katchewan "Rough Riders" admit they finished for a $5,000. cash balance this season--which is quite an admission for any senior football club . . . Murdo MacKay continues to lead the AHL. scoring race, + * * SPORTS SHORTS--In one of the first sporting moves made since Newfoundland became a province in the Dominion, Kirkland Lake is sending five hockey players in an effort to help boost the calibre of play on the island. The five men will play for a team owned by the Bucans * Mining Company, and will play against teams from St. John's and Grand Falls . . . With.all these turkey and chicken draws being held around the more secret places of the community (like the four corners), we wonder if the senior members of the menage are getting up on how to draw the fowl, Some say it is a foul job. Two puns in such short space will kill anybody . . . Oshawa Generals are now sitting prettily in a fourth place tie. St. Kitts, in third place, have now lost nine games, the same as the locals, and since that is the only column that has much significance in today's mad schedule, we may consider ourselves not too badly off . . . Condition reports on Irving (Ace) Bailey, Toronto Leaf in a Boston hospital with brain concussion, were hitting the headlines of both Cana- dian and United States newspapers 15 years ago today. Two days after he was spilled by Eddie Shore, the sports world heard doctors announce his condition as "fair, but still on the danger list." The accident ended his hockey-playing career. : + * + SCISSORED SPORT -- (By The Canadian Press) -- The Ontario Hockéy Association Monday at Toronto announced groupings for six of its gight series.

AFTERNOON and NIGHT »- EXPECT LENIENCY IN LEO DUROCHER'S *By JOE REICHLER 'Qhicago, Dec. 14.--(AP)-- Base- 2 Commissioner A. B. Chandler ¥ day described Leo Durocher as "not a man who is deljberately mean, but rather impulsive." In that way, thé commissioner gave a strong' hint that today's hearing. on the "Freddy Fitzsim- mons tampering case," will reesult in leniency toward Leo, in tontrast y : Leniency might mean a fine or at worst, a . 10-day suspension. Thé same was true of Fitzsimmons. The hearing was the most dis- cussed topic among the baseball men gathered here for the. major league meetin; ., even surpassing in interest the deal whereby New York Yankees acquired pitcher Fred Sanford and catcher Roy Partee from St. Louis Browns for $100,000 and three players. The Durocher incuiry developed from the hiring of Fitzsimmons as coach by the Giants five weeks ago, while he was still on the reserve list of Boston Braves.

"There is just no excuse for a coach or manager who leaves one club for another without letting his former employers know what he in- tends doing," the commissioner said. The Yankée-Browns deal was eas- ily the most important made during the current. meetings, In addition to the $100,000, the Browns got pit- chers Charles (Red) Embree and Dick Starr, and catcher Sherm Lol- | Philagelphia Athletics signed "FAUX PAS" Jimmy Dykes, former White Sox manager 'as coach, and picked up veteran outfielder Wally- Moses for "pinch-hitting purposes."
