TE EE EE ER CHECKING ON SPORT WITH BOB RIFE The latest addition to the long list of unhappy losses by the Gen- erals was a rather large-sized order served up by the very hospitable Stratford Kroehlers up in the Clas- sic City last night. Jim Claus playing his first game of Junior "A" hockey didn't find things too comfortable in his stay between the pipes. We really shouldn't say things weren't com- fortable, for the enemy pushed enough rubber beneath him to make an easy chair. Another guy up from Junior "B" ranks played in this contest. His name was Hartlieb and he sank two ounters for the fast-breaking oehler-men. On Saturday night these same two teams make a go of it here in the Oshawa Arena and the prob- lem ahead for our guys looks to be a tough one. In a nutshell: How to get out of the cellar. = Tonight the Mercantile Hockey scene gets the sportlight thrown' on it. Better not toss it too hard boys, these guys are tough and might blast it right back at you.) The games featured are be- tween Bowmanville and Whitby in the curtain-raiser, while Brooklin meets Pitts Electric in the nightcap. As one can gather from the standings which were publish- ed in this newspaper last night, these games could give the standings quite a shuffling. Bowmanville needs that win over Whitby to keep pace with the rapidly moving Pitts club who threaten to take Brooklin and close in on first place. Whitby of late have been an unpredictable crew. At times they play a brand of hockey that is hard to beat; at others they are just a band of "wood- choppers". i ] (That noise you just heard was 700 Whitby people forming outside our office for my lynching.) Anyway you look at it--the doubleheader should be worth taking in, especially with the likelitood that Gerry Scott, one-time General and recently a member of the Quebec Aces, will be in a Pitts' uniform. (7 4 Back a while ago we referred to the Four Horsemen of the Big Green team, That represented the backfield of one of the greatest Notre Dame college football teams of all time, To say that it was a Rockne- coached outfit is "superfluous. Comes the news now that Clem Crowe, a team-mate of those famed four has signed a two-year con- tract to coach the Baltimore Colts of the National-American Profes- sional Football League. Crowe guided the Buffalo Bills to the 1949 All-American Conference play-offs. When the Bills folded about the time the two big pro loops joined hands, he decided there was nothing left for him in Buffalo. The Colts grabbed him up and now with the news of his signing also comes the word of the gather- ing impetus of the Buffalo Bills pledges for both seats through the season and backers for the team if the league exec, will acccept their re-e.try, . Those Sunday afternoon games seem to have gone over big and with 10,000 season seats already pledged, a strong line of backers and an even stronger executive, the Bills will' have to be shown a mighty good reason, if their re- quest for admittance to the league is turned down. ® 0 0 Vv Down in Cobourg the Inter- mediate basketball club has two coaches this season, One, Harry Ravensdale, is the fellow who handled the team's troubles last year. The new- comer is Herb Galley who play- ed for the club last year. Herb was the fellow with the grin for the very peculiar situa- tions that the cage squad from that centre often ran into. Lack of transportation, lack of players all kept him on the go. much as they will this year. Through it all he performed the duties of club secretary, sending in accounts to the Cobourg newspaper. Evidently from the analysis of the game he presented in these stories, the club decided that he would be just the fellow to have handing out the orders, for they sent him in as coach this season along with Ravens- dale. From all this one can expect that this year their club will be faster and sharper, though how that would be possible is something we don't know. They always had a speed-built, power-packed club down .there. Vv : CHECKLETS -- Keith Montgom ery who performed with the Gen- erals last year as a fast-skating winger has returned to his home- town of Peterborough this year and is playing hockey for the Legion- naires. That is a Senior "B" club and at present they are leading the league composed of Belleville, Kingston and Gananoque. Arn Dugan, another Peterborough puck-flash is trading bumps in the International Amateur League. He plays for Detroit Hettche who stand around third place in the league now. Sarnia Sailors, last year's winners lead the league. They went into the play-offs against Peterborough and lost out, The General Motors' Badminton Club will pay a visit to Peterboro on Saturday, January 14th, Play will start around 7.30 p.m. A.H.L. HOCKEY CHIPS Cleveland Barons Wednesday night made American Hockey Lea- gue history. The western 'division leaders trampled the crippled St. Louis Flyers 7-4 to take an 18-point lead over second-place Indianapolis Ca- pitals -- greatest margin at this point of the schedule made by any team. In the eastern section, Providence Reds, defending champions, drop- ped into second place, one point behind Buffalo Bisons who white- washed New Haven Ramblers 5-0. Grant Warwick supplied two goals. The Reds, idle last night, now are deadlocke" with Springfield Indians in the runner-up position. Each have 42 points, A pair of goals by Armand. Le- mieux and Ken Hayden sparked the Indians to a 9-2 victory over Her- shey Bears. Fred Thurier, veteran Cleveland centre, scored two of the Barons' goals to bring his all-time .point total to 576, only three points away from the league record set by Les Cunningoam, former Cleveland r.

So says Ray Gardner, ex Press agent, sports writer, and sports edi- tor. Writing in the current issue of Maclean's Magazine, in "The Sport That Kills," Gardner says: "In the U.S. and Canada, boxing is an $18 million-a-year industry paying much of its dividends to chiseling and sometimes unsavory noncombatants." Gardner writes that kids enter the ring lured by the promise of big money, are lucky to make coffee and cakes, He says: "The annual income of the rank-and-file fighter in the United States is about $50. In Canada, it is 'much less: even main eventers here can't live on their ring earnings alone." If they don't get money, what do the fighters get dut of it? Says Gardner: "Some are killed outright in the ring. Thirteen fight- ers died of ring injuries in 1948 in North America, nine in 1947 and 11 in 1946, In the first 11 months of 1949, seven more were killed." He adds: "Perhaps these are luck- ie. than the punch-drink fighters whose brains have been so pulveriz- ed they must be confined in men- tal institutions." According to a high medical authority," 507% of all fighters wind up punch-drunk." Those who don't end up in institu- tions, says Gardner, "hover precar- iously between gutter and the in- sane asylum." As a spectator sport "prize fight- ing is the nearest approach to legal- ized murder our society will toler- ate, excepting capital punishment. The primitive basic appeal is that every contest is "a simulated death- struggle." Gardner discusses the fistic car- eers of such ring notables as, Demp- sey, Louis, Tunney. He notes that Max Baer, Primo i and Ez- zard Charles, the present champion, have each killed a man. Such out- standing fighters as Lem Franklin, Ernie Schaaf, Pancho Villa, and Luther McCarty were all ring fatal- ities. , Gardner observes the ring career of Canada's Jimmy McLarnin as a notable and exceptional example of a fighter who knew when to quit. HOCKEY'S BIG SEVEN By The Canadian Press Ted Lindsay, sharpshooting Detroit left winger, added another assist to his lengthy string Wednesday night against Boston to bring his point total to 43 in the National Hockey League scoring race. Lindsay has been in the top spot in the scoring column for nine consecutive weeks. He has 17 goals and 26 assists. Teammate Sid Abel picked up a goal to stay within two points of Lindsay. Maurice Richard of Mont- real Canadiens is third points. Boston's Paul Ronty moved into a fourth place tie with Chicago's Roy Conacher on the strength of a goal against Detroit. Both have 35 points. Doug Bentley of Chicago is fifth with 34 and Detroit's Gordie Howe follows one point behind. The leaders Lindsay, Detroit Abel, Detroit Richard, Montreal R. Conacher, Chicago ,... Ronty, Boston . D.

By GERRY PRATT Canadan Press Staff Writer Vancouver, Jan. 12--(CP)--Ap- parently hockey players can't come too young if they hope to catch anything other than a job with a so-so minor league club. Anyway, that's the impression Don (Van- couver News-Herald) McLean got when he sounded out Johnny Walk- er who scouts this region for New York Rangers of the National Hoc- key League. They brought up the name of Don Slater, 22-year-old rookie with New Westminster Royals of the Pacific Coast League, and Slater, while he has worlds of promise, ap- parently is too old. "Why should we waste our time and tmoney training a 22-year-old," Walker asked, "when we have doz- ens of 18-year-olds with just as much promise?" "Slater", Walker told Don Mc- Lean, "is a real hockey player" nonetheless and if he was four years younger, there would be lots of in- terest in him." There still would be interest if he developed enough to jump from the P.CHL. to the NHL--"But that is a long hop." Good Plan Walker got around to soccer brief- ly. to say he had learned only one thing from that game. He thought the relegation system used in Eng- lish soccer, whereby the top teams move up a notch and the bottom one down, was a good promotion 'stunt the N.-H.L. and American Hoc- key League could stand. "The best AHL. club is on a par with the last NHL. team, so why not give the minors something to work for? It would keep up inter- est until the end of the season." emer eee LEGION HELPS Omaha--American Legion's junior | baseball will be supported for a third year by major league appro- priations up to the sum of $50,000.
