THURSDAY, MARCH 29, 1951 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE FIFTEEN Marlies Top Teeps, Take Lead Again ST. KITTS' GOALIE SIMMONS FRUSTRATES DUKES' MacDONALD John Lumley scored two second-period goals to give Marlboros a 2-0 win over St. Catharines Teepees before 2,685 fans at Maple Leaf Gardens. The win earned the Dukes a two-to-one lead in the O.H.A. Junior "A" best-of-five semi-final series. Fourth game will be played in St. Catha- rines on Friday night. A strong Marlboro defence helped Don Lockhart to his first shutout of the playoffs, allowing the Teeps few good chances. Ron Hurst of Marlies earned himself iy misconduct for aguing when mailed because he boarded Wayne Brown. .Further arguing brought him a match misconduct penalty. --Central Press Canadian. x = Speaking to "Colonel James" this morning and asking how he en- joyed the result of last night's Stanley Cup playoff game, we received this observation and since we thought it was well-taken, we pass it along. "Suh, if you are referring to the contest between the Bowston boys and Mr. Smythe's Maple Leeves--I should say that it was a gratify- ing departure from the habitual proceedjah"--end of quote! Yep! Those Bruins from the town of the bean and cod wiped out a two- year jinx of trying to gain valuable points at Maple Leaf Gardens and came up with a win in the one game which they would probably have chosen, if they had been given a choice. That 2-0 shutout over the Mapleos last night vaulted Bruins out in front in this Stanley Cup semi-final series and now we find the two lowly (?) survivors each leading their playoff series and regardless of how either rounds ends up, these opening game victories by Canadiens and Bruins have at least added considerable spice to the current playoff grind. Milt Schmidt . starred again for Bruins last night, as did goalie Gelineau 'but "Wild + Will" Ezinicki was also to the fore in that victory on Toronto ice. Leafs Jost Rollins with a twisted knee and he maybe out for ten days. They also missed the services of left-winger Harry Watson. We note too that the return of Turk Broda.to the nets, after Rollins was injured, brought high praise from the Toronto scribes--but already after Rollins' Vezina Trophy win, they are referring to him as "the reliable old goalie." It looks as if the writing is on the wall--they all insist on calling him "old" now. Last year they called him "the fat man"--but ten years from now, they'll still be remembering him best as "the goalie"! L 4 +» * i Barrie Flyers are in the O.H.A. Junior "A" championship finals 'again--and they should retain the title. They ousted Windsor Spit- fires last night with a 5-2 victory to sweep the semi-final series in three-straight games. As a matter of fact, it constitutes a 6-game playoff sweep for the Flyers, through two successive rounds, to reach . the final bracket. At that, we still insist Oshawa Generals would have given the Flyers their toughest argument. Coach "Hap" Emms thinks that too--sa it must be right, for we've never agreed on very much before. Eldor Thomas scored two goals for the Spitfires in the first period and it looked as if the Windsor fans were going to see at least one more game but Chevrefils, White et Co. rallied in the second stanza for three goals and then added two more in the third frame. And that ends Windsor's bid for "Big Ten" frame, Marlboros and St. Catharines play their 4th game in St. Kitts on Friday night and if Teepees win this one, they'll settle it at Maple Leaf Gardens on Sunday afternoon. Let's not wait any longer--this guy Coach "Hap" Emms has a few glaring faults, such as temper, unreasonable attitude to officials when Barrie boys are losing, etc., but he certainly has his team clicking when playoff time rolls around each season--ana this year especially. * * LJ Just a reminder to the Oshawa hockey fans that tonight winds up the Oshawa Mercantile Hockey League championship for 1951. Pitts .! Electric and Burnett Plumbers clash tonight at the Oshawa Arena in the second and final game of the championship finals, which is a two- game, total-goal affair. Pitts waltz into tonight's fray with a comfort- able lead but over-confidence has been the undoing of more than one team and the Plumbers could upset the dope bucket again, with a win tonight. * * > Oshawa Junior "Bees" open their playoff series with Weston Dukes up in Weston tomorrow night with the second game of their 5-game affair, here in Oshawa on Monday night. The "Bees" will travel by private bus--but Manager Vic Burr informs us that at least one other bus-load of rooters will be going, more than one bus if the demand warrants.

By VERNON MORGAN Lincoln, England, March 29 -- (Reuters) -- First major Franco-- British duel of the 1951 British turf season is expected to feature the one-mile Lincoln Handicap on Saturday. Carrying French silks will be the Comte de Chambure's Astromonte, assigned 111 pounds and ridden by Rae (Snapper) Johnstone, Aus- tralian-born invader who carried off four English classics for French owners last season. Homebred Is Favorite The home-bred hope is E. Wan- less', Masked Light, top -weighted at 126, with champion jockey Gor- don Richards--winner of last year's Lincoln on Dramatic -- in the saddle. Masked Light currently reigns a 6-to-1 favorite with Astromonte quoted second at 15-2. About 30 other horses--one of the smallest fields in several years --will contest 'the £1,820 (about $5,460) added sweepstake over the Holme course straight mile. One of England's prettiest racing ven- ues, the course stands in the lee | of the ancient cathedral city of Lincoln. y Must Not Overlook If the French threat wins the Lincoln it will be the first time since Tapin's victory in 1925. But French successes have grown more and more frequent on British tracks since the Second World War 'and it never pays to overlook the trans-channe]l challenge. Among oth-r English horses shooting for the Lincoln, the best- backed is A. Francis' Flower Dust, ridden by P. Maher and carrying 120. Bookies make this a 10-1 FAMOUS LINCOLN HANDICAP COULD BE DUEL OF INTERNATIONAL FLAVOR chance and rate Eph Smith's mount, Richard Louis, fourth fav- orite at 100-to-6. Smith has won three Lincolns in recent seasons. ¢ Could be "Dark Horse" At 25-to-1 is Second Out, aptly- named entrant of boxing promoter Jack Solomns. Track gossip says Solomons has backed his four- year-old heavily enough to win more than £50,000 (about. $150,000) if the colt comes home on top. Barrie Flyers Oust Windsor, Taking Three-Straight Games In Jr. "A" Semi-Final Series Spitfires Grab 2-0 Lead In First Period But Barrie Splurges in Sec- ond Stanza -- Sweep Round For 6-Straight Playoff Wins -- Now Await Finals Barrie, March 29 -- Coming from behind. with three goals in the second period and adding two more in the final chapter, Barrie Flyers last night eliminated Windsor Spit- fires from the OHA Junior "A" semi-final playoffs with a great 5-2 triumph. The Flyers will stand by for the winner of the Toronto Marlboros- St. Catharines Teepees series be- fore commencing the best-of-seven final. Last night's victory gave the Fly- ers the best-of-five set three straight and a playoff winning streak of six. Coach Hap Emms has his boys playing brilliant hockey. as they roar in quest of their lost OHA Junior "A" laurels. Hall Showered With Pucks A crowd hinging on the 4,000 mark cheered with delight when the Flyers showed top form in a terrifying second stanza. A total of 26 shots were fired at Windsor goalie Glen Hall in the middle period and although he tried gal- lently to hold his mates' early 2-0 lead, a miracle would have been needed. A penalty to Windsor captain Er- win Grosse started the Flyers on the victory path. Real Chevrefils, a star in the series, converted Leo Labine's passout as Hall showed signs -of weakening under the con- stant pressure. That goal came at 7:05 of the sec- ond but it wasn't until the 18:45 mark that the Flyers finally tied the score. Jack White rapped home Labine's rebound with the Flyers milling around the Windsor net. Toppazzini Clicks Fourteen seconds later, Jerry Top- pazzini turned the Spits inside out with a picture goal which proved to be the winner. Windsor's morale dropped conipletely in the third. Aft no time did they threaten the Fly- ers' comeback margin. Goals by La- bine and White further lessened tite Windsor resistance. Spitfires' best effort was in the first period, when Grosse sparked an attack that netted two goals in the space of 20 seconds. The Wind- sor captain set up wingman Eldor Thomas for two quick goals but even then the margin did not ap- pear enough to withstand the Flyers' scoring power. Glen Hall turned aside 49 shots while Flyers' Lorne Howes had a more comfortable evening, handling 21. Barrie will now meet the winner of the Toronto Marlboros-St. Cath- arines series in the final.

It marked the first time that two events were held on the same day. This was necessitated by the rapid- ly-melting snow.

Overtime Goal Sinks Hamilton Hockey Hopes By The Canadian Press Few things are more dishearten- ing for hockey fans than to watch the home team come from behind with an exciting last-period rally-- only to lose out in overtime. So supportens of Hamilton Tigers got, the full treatment last night as their team bowed 7-6 to Toronto St. Michael's. Monarchs. ; They went into histerics during the third period when Tigers over- came a four-goal margin to tie the score 6-6. Then, at 5:30 of the sec- ond overtime period, Jack Meldrum dropped them into the depths of despair by scoring the winning goal. The victory gave St. Mike's a 3-1 lead in the best-of-seven Ontario Hockey Association Major Series final, The major game at Hamilton was a see-saw affair which broke out in a scoring flurry after a scoreless first period. Meldrum and Gord Hannigan paced the Toronto attack with two oals each. Dusty Blair, Tom Fowl- er and Johnny Ubriaco got the others, Harvey Fraser was a standout for Hamilton with two goals and two assists. Frankie Liscombe and Harold Hursley also had two tal- lies apiece. Hannigan sent Toronto into a pair to give the Tigers the lead. but Hursley and Fraser got a quick Hannigan's second goal tied it up. - Gloom was cast over the Hamil- ton crowd as Toronto got four goals in three minutes and 23 seconds early in the third period. Meldrum, Blair, Fowler and Ubriaco scored in quick succession, However, Tigers came back with a terrific spurt, Hursley scoring at 6:50, Liscombe following two min- utes later, then getting his second goal 31 seconds after that. Fraser tied it up at 16:45.

Rollins Out Ten Days Veteran Turk, Broda, who has split the Toronto goaltending job. with Rollins this season, finished the .game. It is feared Rollins may be out for the next 10 days. The one goal Broda allowed came at the 1:12 mark of the closing frame when Bill Quackenbush blasted a long, ankle-high shot that Woody Dumart's stick deflect- ed into the open side of the net. The shots-on-goal records show- ed Toronto with a wide margin-- 24 to Boston's 12--but Gelineau, who posted his first shutout of the season over the Maple Leafs, was superb. Referee George Gravel handed four penalties, three of them to Bruins. Two of the sentences were majors to Boston Defenceman Hal Laycoe and Tod Sloan, Toronto winger, for fighting early in the second period. Milt Schmidt Leads Way Inspiring the Bruins to their first win here in eight attempts this season was 33-year-old Milt Schmidt. The veteran centre, playing despite a knee injury, turned in a fine two-way per- formance.
