MONDAY, MARCH 2d, 1951 THE GAtLY TIMES.GAZETTE PAGE ELEVEN cmt fl coe et. se ------a _ SPORT SNAPSHOTS (3) -- -- By Geo. H. CamesELL "At the time of writing, it was not known whether the Oshawa Bees would meet the famous Weston. club or Kingston's Junior "B" team in the first round of the O.H.A. playdowns. Manager Vic Burr expects word from the O.H.A. office of Mr. Panter, sometime today and the series will likely start about Wednesday night. Oshawa Bees climaxed a great playoff climb to win their group championship honors, here on Saturday night, when they defeated and eliminated the Peterborough 1.0.OF. 7-3 for the fourth win of the series, in six games. After losing here 10-1 in the 4th game the Bees walked right into Liftlock City on Thirsday night to win the 5th game and then finished it off here on Saturday night. The Bees were much the better team, all the way here on Saturday night and their display was both impressive and pleasing--to the biggest crowd they've had en hand yet. They should get much bigger crowds now that the Generals are out and the hockey they are playing is deserving of a good turnout. The Bees finished the season in 4th place--last playoff berth and they ousted Belleville Rockets in three-straight games then took out the Triple Links in six games. 8 * + Words are still pouring in from Windsor that the display turned in by Alex Delvecchio in the 5th game on Friday night. Windsor hockey fans, with one accord, say it was the greatest dis- play of a one-man hockey show they have ever witnessed and only Glen Hall's superb net-minding prevented Oshawa Generals from winning the series. Both Alex and Jankowski played with Detroit Red Wings last night in Detoit when the Wings blanked Canadiens 5-0 in their final game of the Louie Jank ki got an assist on the third goal of the game, scored by Ted Lindsay. It was Saw- chuk's 11th shutout but Rollins got one for Toronto Leafs in Boston: and that gives Toronto's new net-minding star The Vezina Trophy for this season--but only because the statistics and rules of the trophy ay so. Everybody insists that Terry Sawchuck really earned it. In the O.H.A. Big Ten playoff games of the week-end, Barrie Flyers blanked Windsor Spitfires 2-0 in Saturday night, their margin coming in the third period after two hectic frames of brilliant de- fensive hockey. They go again tonight in Windsor. Marlies play the second game of the other semi-final series, tonight in St. Catharines. The Matlies defeated Teepees 5-3 yesterday afternoon at Maple Leaf Gardens in another Junior "A" playoff thriller, LAGE J The annual meetings of the O.A.S.A. and Canadian Softball As- sociation, at Brantford, on Good Friday and Saturday, were both out- standing. Doug. Smith was acclaimed President of the O.A.S.A. after many years of hard work on behalf of softball. Oshawa and for that matter, Eastern Ontario in general, was ignored by the majority of the voting delegates who hailed from Westcin Ontario with the result that Johnny Brady was defeated in his bids for office. However, his outstand- ing worth and contribution to the game was recognized in the Presi- dent's appointments to the Executive, as was that of several other Eastern Ontario softball men. Ken Yost of Winnipeg was given an ac- clamation to the Presidency of the Canadian body, in keeping with the policy of electing a President from the West--alternating each year with the venue of the Canadian championship series. Inter. "A" soft- ball remains and the Junior age-limit is raised to "under 21 years." * + 0» BRIGHT. BITS -- The death of Eddie Collins establishes the first gap in the famous million-dollar infield of the A's. Collins played more games at 2nd base than any other Big Leaguer . . . Markham Millionaires won another game on Saturday night over Aurora to advance their lead in that series. It is expected that no more Markham games, at least in this series, will be played in Oshawa . . . Tri-Bells won the Ontario basketball title . . . Red Wings won the N.H.L, title as expected and Gordie Howe finished 20 points ahead of his next nearest . . .

Mikell's $4,000 purchase won its first race of the year in a four-horse blanket finish, The fourth colt was only a neck behind the others, while horses separated the first three. Repetoire, a chest- nut son of Happy Argo, picked up $6,115 for the six-furlong sprint . .". At Philadelphia, Pancho Gonzales, World's Professional Tennis Cham- pion, needed ail his shots, hustle and savvy on Saturday night to defeat Frank Kovacs, 6-4, 6-4, in opening defence of his title. The Los Angeles Champion and his Oakland, Calif., opponent, met in the second match of the opening round of a five-night, round-robin Championship Tourna- ment. In the opening match, Jack Kramer defeated Bobby Riggs, 6-3, 6-5. - * + Britain's flat race season opened Saturday with meetings at Kemp- 1 ton Park, near London, and Stockton in Northern England. The season wn goes right through to mid-November. In the main event at Kempton J » Park, Lord Rosebery's four-year-old colt Paradiso won the 10-furleng "Rosebery Stakes Handicap.

ICE SKATING TONIGHT! By JOE KELLEY Trowbridge (Eddie) Collins, 63, a big name in baseball for 45 years, 'died last night of a heart condition. Death came to the Vice-President of Boston Red Sox, in hospital where he was admitted March 10. It occurred less than two months after his last public appearance, Feb. 1, when Baseball Writers hon- ored him at their dinner "For long, meritorious service" to the sport. Left Athletics He left Philadelphia Athletics, with whom he broke into the game in 1906 while a Columbia University Boston, March 26--(AP)--Edward, student, to join Tom Yawkey when the millionaire sports, enthusiast bought the Sox. In Six World Series Collins participated in Six world series, played more games than any second baseman in baseball history and 'was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1939. HE: ¢ompiled a .333 batting aver- age in 25 years of active play. His is the first death among the members of Connie Mack's fabulous $100,000 infield which was broken up after the 1914 season wh~n Bos- ton's miracle Braves whipped the A's in four-straight Worlu Series g« mes, . The other members were first buseman Stuffy McInnis, now Har- v. d baseball coach, shorsiop Jack Bar. * who coaches Holy Cross Uni- versity, and third baseman Frank (Home Run) Baker, now a Trappe, Md., farmer. Collins came into his own in 1909 when Mack assigned him to second base after experimenting with him at shorstop and in the outfield. Only Once Below .300 He batted .346 that season and ripped the magic .300 figure only in 1917-1918. His batting average for six World Series was .330. He played in four with Philadelphia and two with the Chicago White Sox to whom he was sold for the then amazing price of $50,000 in 1914. His honor never was questioned when some of his 1919 Chicago teammates sold out to gamblers in Baseball's greatest scandal. He stayed with Chicago until 1926 when he was released after being the White Sox Manager two sea- sons. Mack Got Him Back Connie Mack immediately re- signed - him and made him team EDDIE COLLINS, ONE OE BASEBALL'S GREATEST 2ND BASEMEN, PASSES captain. Rfter age caught up with him Rollins became a Coach with tr: Athletics and left that post to join Yawkey in building up the Red Sox from a rag-tag outfit to a powerful pennant,contender. Two of his products with the Sox, of whom he was most proud, were Ted Williams and Bobby Doerr. Collins personally scouted and bought both.

BEES TAKE GROUP HONORS & <> Defeat Peterboro Triple Links In 6th Game of Title Series, Complete Surge from 4th Spot pe Motor City Lads Show Plenty of Class in Top- pling Liftlock City Juniors For 4th Win -- Bees Finished Sched- ule In 4th Spot, Then Swept Through Play- offs To Take It All In a speed-filled hockey game at the Arena of Saturday night, a fourth-place club whipped the first spot outfit by a 7-3 count to take a championship final. Who else but the surprising Osh- awa Junior Bees could come out of the doldrums in such a way? Af- ter ending the regular season in the last play-off spot the Bees looked as if they might not get by the first round. But some inspirational coaching sent them into the play-offs in a winning mood, and they first elim- inated the Belleville Rockets in three-straight games. Win Series in 6 Games Last night's 7-3 win over Peter- boro Oddfellows, this year's regu- lar league champions, gave the Osh- awa kids a 4-2 edge in their best- of-seven championship play-off and moves the locals into the next round. Just whom they'll meet is still in doubt, but it will likely be the King- ston Vics, eastern league champs. Oshawa got the jump on Peter- boro in Saturday night's game by moving to the offensive with little delay. They poured on the power and before the first period was over led by a 2-0 count. George Brabin got credit for both these markers, the first coming on a snap-shot, and the second from a two-man breakaway. Brabin got the second unassisted as he used the other man in the break as a deke for the goaler, He fired low and hard to put the rubber away. Hillman's Neat Goal Hardly had the teams regained the ice to begin the second period when Bud Hillman picked up the puck from Mel Chircoski at the red line and started to stick-handle in on Wasson in the Pete's nets. Bud got by one man, and just when he seemed off balance, shov- ed nast the last defender. He scoot- ed for the goal, with a pretty shift pulled the goalie aside, and shoved the puck home. Oshawa led by a 3-0 count after 58 seconds of the second period! Ted DeGray got his first goal of the night after a sustained Osh- awa attack halfway through the second frame when a third re- bound came out from the prostrate Wasson. Ted had the presence of mind to lift the puck into the top carner of the net to put the Bees in front 4-0. 3 A feeling of having won the game must have stolen over the locals for a moment then, as Dean West picked off an Oshawa pass to move in on Pallister and pot a terrific unassisted effort. It broke the shnt-out, but sent the teams back into high gear . . . the Petes thought they had a chance now, and the Bees got a little worried. The Babe Does It A demonstration of the Oshawa { frontal power came just a minute later when Etcher and Johnson worked Chircoski into the clear for a drive at the enemy twine, The "Babe" came threugh with an inch- high bottom corner drive that had Wasson beaten all the way. A mag- nificent. shot to climax one of Chir- coski's best showings, He earned a goal and two assists in the game. It was in the last period that the Oddfellows showed their class and played the kind of hockey that made them end up on top of the league at the end of the regular season. They thumped, bumped, skated and shot until you sometimes wondered who led the game 5-1. It wasn't long until that aggres- siveness paid dividends. Bob Wyatt took a pass\from Stewart near the Oshawa net and with a twist of his body, faked Pallister aside and slid home the puck. ; Oshawa got that back when Fred Etcher finally hit the scoring ¢ol- umn with a rebound lift to make the count 6-2. The Peterboro crew were still in the game and with less than three minutes left moved into the Osh- \ g 'SUMMARY OSHAWA BEES--Goal, Pallister; defence, Hillman, Marshall, centre, Etcher; Wings, Lawrence, .Chir- coski; Alts, Johnson, Edwards, Wil- son, DeGray, Brabin, Haxton, Deeth, O'Connor.

Rotary Midgets Win First Game Total-Goal Final The first game of the two game, total-goals series, championship finals of the Oshawa Minor Hockey Association's "City League" Midget series, saw Rotary Club defeat Lions Club 6-4 on Saturday morn- ing at the Oshawa Arena, Lions broke in front in the first period to take a 3-1 lead. Scero opened the scoring on a pass from Chasesewski and then Mallett scored late in the period with help from Vipond and Johnstone. A goal by Fisher, at the 18:07 mark, with Scero making the play, put Lions in front 3-0 but in the final min- ute of action, Dykstra scored with help from Puckalski to get Rotary Club back in the running. Rotary Club Midgets had two penalites in tke second stanza, Mc- Inally drawing one for interference and Towns being thumbed off for slashing. Johnson, Towns and Fitchett of Rotary all drew penal- ties in the second period also while Scero got one for Lions. A few seconds after Towns got his penalty, Fitchett and Scero were thumbed off together and the man-power. shoytage proved costly for the Lions club with Duncan Brodie scoring two goals while Towns and Fitchett were off, the first unassisted and the second on a pass from Dykstra. This tied the score at 3-3 and then with the teams at full strength, Puckalski scored with help by B. Johnson and Dykstra to put Rotary in front. Vipond got this one back to tie the score again for Lions, with Gurney and Johnstone helping out but in the last minute of the period. B.

LTD. 313 ALBERT ST TELEPHONE 26% MARLIES ' TAKE TEEPEE SQUAD IN FIRST GAME Toronto, March 26 -- Toronto Marlboros seem to have found an- other soft spot in the OHA Junior A Big Ten playoffs. The Dukes had little trouble stopping St. Cathar- ines Teepees, 5-3, at Maple Leaf Gardens yesterday afternoon in the opening game of their best-of- five semi-final series. A crowd of 4,578 sat in on the game. The Dukes, who whipped a weak Stratford team three straight in the opening round, didn't have to over-exert themselves in taking St. Catharines yesterday. Apart from a strong start that sent them into a two-goal lead, the Teeps looked tired after a strenuous five-game series' with Guelph Biltmores. In the opening 10 minutes St. Catharines skated rings around the Dukes and took a well-deserved 2-0 lead on goals by Billy Young and Pierre Pilote. The Marlboro de- fense looked very bad on Pilot's goal, as the St. Catharines defense- man sailed in to pick up a loose puck directly in front of Don Lock- hart, who moved too late to block the backhand shot. From that point, Marlboros took command, scoring five straight be- fore Ted Powers banged in the third St. Catharines goal with about four minutes remaining. Eric Nesterenko, a great opportun- ist, scored twice for the Dukes, while Earl Balfour, Ronnic Hurst and Bob Cooper hit: for one each. After an excellent first period, the game tended to drag, as the Teeps began to weaken under the pressure of the freewheeling, hard- hitting Marlboros. St. Catharines seemed to lack the reserve sirength to match the three good lines the Dukes were able to ice. St. Catharines was assessed only three of the nine minor penalties, but two Marlboro goals were scored with the opposition a man short. Best man on the ice for St. Cath- arines continued to be Frank Mar- tin, big home-brew defenseman. At 17 years of age, Martin rates with the best defensemen in the league. ST.

The hard - working 24 - year - old native of Vanguard, Sask. whose lack of color has been mistaken for mediocrity, reached the pin- nacle of his hockey career by win- ning the Vezina Trophy in his rookie year with Toronto Maple Leafs. An impressive record of only three goals scored on him in the last five scheduled games carried Rollins to victory, nudging out Terry Saw- chuk, 21, of Winnipeg, playing in his rookie year for Detroit Red Wings. The trophy, which carries with it $2,000 prize money, annually goes to the goalie playing the most game for the team with the fewest goals scored against it. Sawchuk, play.ng all 70 games for Detroit, let 139 goals by. Rollins, taking part in 40 Toronto games, and Turk Broda, the other 30, let a total of 138 past them, Take The Lead The trophy race wound up in exciting fashion last night as To- ronto shut out Boston 1-0 while Detroit was whitewashing Montreal Canadiens 5-0. They were the last games of the schedule. Rollins took the lead in the com- petition Saturday night Montreal defeated Detroit 3-2 wh.le Toronto beat the Bruins 4-1. In the other In addition to the goaltending race, the individual scoring compe- tition ended last night, although Gordie Howe, brilliant Detroit right winger, had it sewed up weeks ago. Howe: ended the season with 43 goals and 43 assists for 86 points-- four better than the league record set in 1943-44 by Herbie Cain of Boston. However, breaking feat was made in a 70- game season while Cain got his in a 50-game schedule. Decides Order The order in which the teams would finish was decided Saturday night when Montreal's victory over Detroit eliminated any possibility of Boston replacing them in third position. Detroit clinched first place several weeks ago, Toronto was solid in second, Montreal and Bos- ton rounded out the playoff circle, New York finished fifth and Chicago sixth. Toronto and Boston now meet in one half of the NHL. Stanley Cup semi-finals, Detroit and Montreal clash in the other. All playoffs are best of seven series. Before 13306 fans at Toronto Saturday night, Boston's Johnny Peirson spoiled Rollins' shutout with a third-period goal after Tod Sloan and Kennedy had given Leafs a 2-0 lead, Sloan and n Flaman wound up the scoring to give To- ronto the 4-1 victory.

Baseball ( Greats Saddened At News Ed Collins Death Eddie Collins "was the greatest infielder I ever saw," said Frankie Frisch, manager of the Chicago Cubs, when advised that the one- time American League second base- man had died in Boston. "He could do everything. I'm ter- ribly saddened to hear of Eddie's death." Frisch's comment expressed the general shock and sorrow of the baseball world for. Collins, whose 25 years as a major league player is a record. Ty Cobb--"He was one of the greatest players and finest gentle- men of the game, We played in the same league for 24 years and to- gether for the Philadelphia Athlet- ics in 1927 and 1928. He left an in- delible impression on everyone who knew him as a great player, mana- ger and gentleman." Roger Hornsby, Manager Seattle Rainjers--"His death is a tremen- dous loss to baseball."
