SATURDAY, AFRIL 8, 1950 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE ELEVEN Br r---------------------------- CHECKING WITH BOB RIFE Whilst Mr. Campbell sojourns in Owen Sound at the O.A.5.A. con- vention, we'll try to make up for his absence with lots of sound of our own. Did someone say that wouldn't be hard for us ... hmmm? peaking of sounds, 'tweren't a 8. murmur that rolled out of the Arena last night when the Junior Bees came from behind in the game and in their series with Toronto Carwil Transport. The victory, before an estimated crowd of 1,300, was enough to bring our Bees back on even terms with Toronto in the best-of-seven series and so force a sudden-death type seventh game in Nobleton Monday eve, They lined up for that game last night we might add, and if every- one who was present wanted to make the trip Monday to Nobleton, | Manager Vic Burr would have to hire quite a fleet of buses. Oh, yes, all persons who want to go should contact Mr. B. (7d The local Bees were full value for their win, as the books say, but they gave the fans a full crop of little white hairs before they did come through with a triumph. Even with a 6-5 lead in the late moments of the last period, the tension was terrific. Each motion of each player was atched and even the weakest learing move that somehow delayed a Toronto attempt to start a ganging attack was cheered like a Stanley-Cup- winning goal. Gord Myles picked up three goals and an assist and was the big sparkplug up front for the locals. On defence, McAllister held things together during the first half of the first period, but it was Marshall's sudden show of powerful poke check- ing plus some lusty body bump- ing that really perked up the rearguards. Jim Claus didn't have a hot night in goal, but some of the ones he kept out were really re- markable, ON SPORT ® 0 0 Vv We heard you say it . how come we forgot that line of Bob Attersley, Gord Deeth and Bruce Weddup. Frankly we didn't. Their boughtet is located right about here. Bob was his usual aggressive self and his hustle forechecking got the goat of one fellow on the Carwil club so much that he received two minor | penalties for slashing at "Bibs". The penalties were at bit of help to Oshawa, we might add. Deeth was not particularly effec- tive till that last goal. 'Twas then that he proved opportunist par ex- cellence and pinched star rating. Weddup, playing under the han- dicap of a cast on his right hand, held forth veddy well on left wing. Ah yes, someone nearby says Rangers held forth pretty well against Canadiens. How correct! Leafs should do well against Detroit tonight. If they do, watch out for the red-hot Blueshirts as a dark horse in the finals. CHECKLETS--The GM 5- pin bowling tourney went off with a rumbling rear Friday night at the Motor City Alleys and the new titlists in all divi- sions received their awards from the G.M. representa- tives, Bob Reddoch and George Reid. Bill Harmer, one very hard- working guy, helped us no end in getting things straight on this kegling bizz, we being strictly from the lemon league ourselves. Hear where Eric Pogue and Phil Samis are headed Cleve- land Baron way next year. Wonder if in the long run, powerful Philip will end up with Chuck Conacher's Hawks in the N.H.L. Under Charlie here in Osh- awa, Samis was strictly T.N.T. The Hawks could use a rugged rearguard. Food for thought hmm? Leafs have benched Ezinicki the past couple of games and the Toronto scribes are begin- ning to wonder why. They figure Ez is. just the potent bundle of hipwork that could outbump the fast Wings down to Toronto speed. That he is men, that he is. GM 5-Pin Bowling Tourney Winds Up Successfull Series With Trophy Presentations Over 500 Keglers Gather @At Motor City Alleys For Big Wind-Up Cere- mony At the Motor City Bowling Alleys over the past few days, the General Motors 5-pin bowling tournament | drew the biggest turnout of trun- dlers to its annual series of events since the recent war.

By BOB McALEER Canadian Press Staff Writer Toronto, April 8--(CP)--Ontario's senior and junior A hockey play- ers may be riding for a fall after several years of playing for '"'swol- len" salaries. | How long can the club sponsors stand ' what some observers term the gaff of abnormally high ex- penses and paper thin profits? And with the Ontario Government seriously thinking of levying the 15-per-cent amusément tax on the so-called amateur clubs, the fall could well be just around the cor- ner. Dan (Kitchener - Waterloo Re- cord) Odette does some quick pa- per work and reasoning and comes up with some surprising figures on his town's Flying Dutchmen, run- ners-up this season to Toronto Marlboros «in the Ontario Hockey Association Senior A race. Margin of Profit "Prospects for another strong Kitchener-Waterloo Flying Dutch- men team next season are dim in- deed," says Dan. Reasoning on the premise that even a sport enter- prise must show a reasonable mar- gin of profit if it is to stay in Busi- ness, 'Odette shows where the 15 per cent tax could well ruin the Dutchmen. "For the past three years the lower than 15 per cent. Therefore, if the club has to pay the 15-per- cent levy, a cut in expenses will have to be made somewhere--and that somewhere is players' salaries." ° Tough On Imports With a salary cut of 15 per cent {in the offing the picture looks dark | indeed for enticing promising ma- | terial to the twin-city camp--or even holdng the players théy have. "The -answer is simple," reasons { Dan, answering his own question {on holding players. "They can't. | Neither can the sponsors of the | Owen Sound Club and that's why | they are ready to pull out." A.H.L. HOCKEY CHIPS New York, April 8-- (CP) --The American Hockey League announ- ced Thursday th: veteran Johnny Chad of Providence Reds has been selected unanimously * by the lea- gue's staff of referees for the "Most gentlemanly player" award. His combined effective playing ability, clean sportsmanship and | gentlemanly confluct over the 1949- |20 season earned for Chad, a na- | tive of Provost, Alta. a first place vote by each of the six referees. | With the honor goes a bonus of $300 | and the Jack Fox Memorial Trophy. |In 70 games, Chad spent only four 'minutes in the penalty box.

GRAHAM | Canadian Press Correspondent Auckland, N.Z.,, April 7--(CP)-- { | | | Fiji, whose four colorful athletes | | proved the biggest attraction at the | | 1950 Empire Games here, is making | plans to send a bigger and better- | trained contingent to the 1954 | games in Canada. | The four-man track and field fiteam was the first from Fiji ever | to compete in international com- | petition, and the men had taken | part in competition of any sort for { only a year prior to their appear- {ance here. But they donned their first running shoes and went out and won a first and two seconds. Their 'performance in a post- games tour also showed great prom- ise for the future. They displayed steady improvement at each ap- pearance, and Luke Tunabuna, runner-up to Canada's®* Leo Roini- nen in the javelin throw at the games, surpassed Roininen's win- ning throw by increasingly wider margins as tie tour progressed. The huge, fumy-haired giants, clad in sulus or eskirts, with bare legs and sandals, were the idols of the crowds wherever they appeared. They were perpetually smiling and approached each event with obvious zest and enjoyment. The success of the first Fijian venture into international track and field competition has created great enthusiasm in the colony. The four-man team represénted only the barest fringe of the natives' potential sporting prowess. And with more experiénce, training and competition, the Fijian athletes who go to Canada in 1954 aré expected to take a fair share of the honors.
