N WEDNESDAY, APRIL-4, 1951 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE ELEVEN RAPID ROBERTS REVIEW ON SPOR Comes early fall each year and the time for baseball teams to partake of play-offs arrives. * With that time of year also ar- rives the annual O.B.A. draw for their particular brand of * saw-offs. The big trouble with their plan of attack has always been the long stretches of time be- tween one series and the next; the distances involved in some first round series; and the very late time of the year in which they decide to begin their play- offs. Long howls of resentment have come from every direction when the draw is announced and 'sooner or later one, two, 'and perhaps more groups have dropped out of the picture. Their reasons have been sound .ones, First, their College players were heading back to the "hal- lowed halls." : Second, their fans were get~ ting chilly at night games and attendances were falling. Third, the travelling expenses for some of the widely spread play-offs were prohibitive. Latest of the groups to leave the O.B.A. fold is the old Cen- tal Ontario Baseball League, of which the Oshawa Merchants were once & member, Their rea- sons for quitting were the above and only go to show how little thought is actually given by the O.B.A. in governing the sport. © If they wish to keep their membership, they should look 2 into the problems of the smaller '~ leagues . . . or else they may find themselves governing just one group ... . the lordly Inter- "county League. Who, by the way, have been spreading red ink themselves lately. ) . Tomorrow night in Weston, the Oshawa Bees will try for a very important win in the third game of their best-of-five series with the Weston Dukes. The set is tied at a game apiece. right now, so whatever happens, Friday night will see the two teams back here in Osh- awa for the fourth game. .. . Having tossed the coin for the destination of the first contest «+. if needed .. . we felt par- ticularly lucky when the quarter turned up the way that pointed "to Oshawa next Monday night. The club won a lot of friends +on Monday might in their los- "ing stint against the Marlie- sponsored Dukes and no doubt there'll be quite a few making ~V~ the trip tomorrow to Weston . . . and a lot more down at the Arena on Friday night for the big fourth game. Jack Cooke came to the rescue of the club after Monday night's game. The boys thought for a minute he had forgotten them, but out came the package they knew contained the "J-B For- mula No. 51". Their tense faces cracked into grins, and they asked for their bottle of the Cure-all Elixir. Guaranteed to fix Westonitis . . . from which the "doc" figures the boys must have been suffering to have lost 4-3. Course before they got the liquid panacea, the mixture was given the once-over by Joe Gil- bert . . . his lucky left palm passed over each bottle . . . that fixed things perfectly. Watch out Weston! CHECKLETS -- A story out of Montreal concerns the rookies of the two big-time hockey clubs, the Detroit Red Wings and the Montreal Canadians currently engaged in semi-final dueling. Jack Adams, so the tale goes, refuses to believe that "Beliveau of Quebec Citadels, a Hab farm team, is as good as they say. "If he:is as good as Jankowski, our rookie, he must be awful good, because he is the best we have brought up yet," said John. Which seems a little different story from the other time when he figured "Fats" Delvecchio as his top frosh. Course that one game in pro hockey might have answered a lot of questions for the man... who knows? Basketball rules won't change much' next year, but one thing that has been put back into working order is the 10-minute quarter. The coaches definitely voted out the 20-minute half as bad stuff. College games will be 10-minutes to the quarter . . . 'high school games eight. min- utes. A one-minute rest is in the rules between the first and second and the third and fourth quarters, You have heard of these things, but this is probably the first time that such a thing has happened to an N.HL. goaler. Leading by a 14-5 score in the last few minutes of an exhibi- tion gafme with a Maritime All- Star outfit, Chuck Rayner of the New York Rangers skated the length of the ice in full regalia to score the final tally of the game.

New York, April 4 -- (AP) -- You can hear at least two versions of what's going on in the boxing trade hereabouts -- both confusing. . . « The offiical version, heard in the International Boxing Club of- fice, is that Matchmaker Al Weill wants to bring in "every new fighter who should be seen in New York." . . . He already has produced Rex Layne, Irish Bob Murphy and Bob Satterfield, to the delight of the TV fans and a few cash customers . .. There may more by the end of May, for Bob Baker, sixth-ranking heavyweight, will get his first New York showing at St. Nick's next week; Young Chico Vejar is- ad- vancing to the main-bout class and Paul'Pender, flashy Boston middle- weight, may appear here. The guys who figure Al is shilling for Heavyweight Rocky Marciano, managed by Al's son Marty, give it to you another way . . . They claim Weill figured to give Layne, Murphy, etc., matches that would make them look bad and was un- expectedly rewarded with 'a series of 'crowd-pleasing wing-dings . . . But the question still is how th ghters can cash in on their new opularity on the air waves. The managers will meet Friday to de- mand more TV dough. They won't get much -- and what can they do about it? ' He Wanted A Live One Johnny Clark, whose numerous activities included -doing a' bit of non-profit publicity for the non- profit Keeneland Race Track, re- cently tried to get a photo of War Admiral Jooking at the statue of his celebrated sire, Man O' War . . . Clark asked Bud Graves, War Ad- miral's groom, to lead the horse up to the statue. . . Bud objected: "Don't think Wah Admiral would like dat, Mr. Johnny. He knows dat thing ain't alive."

Lhe Willinms, Changes Mind, Not So N.B.A. Philadelphia, April 4 -- (AP) -- Ike Williams finally has decided to defend his lightweight champion- ship, but it seems likely that the Trenton; N.J, puncher waited a little too long to make up his mind. Frank (Blinky) Palermo, Wil- liams' manager, said Ike will fight James Carter of New York in a title match at Madison Square Gar- den, May 11. This move caused the Pennsyl- vania State Athletic Commission to lift its suspension of Williams -- but it didn't change the position of the National Boxing Association. The N.B.A. had begun polling the 14 members of its executive com- mittee to decide whether to declare Williams' title vacant because he ignored an N.B.A. directive to de- fend his crown by March 31, Arch Hindman, head of the N.B.A, said the poll will continue despite the agreement on the Car- ter match. Results of the poll won't be made known until next week. Carter has only, a fair record as far as title challengers go. In 61 bouts, he won 45, lost 10 and fought to a draw six times. He is one of five boxers Palermo named earlier as possible foes for Williams when the N.B.A, issued its March 31 directive. Palermo said that if Willlams gets past Carter in their title go, Ike will meet Art Aragon of Los An- geles June 19. This was news to Matchmaker Babe McCoy who said at Los An- geles that he "gave up a long time ago" trying to arrange a Willlams- Aragon championship fight. McCoy. sald that as far as he is concerned, Williams is no longer the light weight champion. Carter is rated seventh among the lightweight challengers by Ring Magazine, First is Freddie Dawson of Chicago, who Williams defeated in December, 1949, in Ike's last title match, FIGHTS LAST NIGHT Los Angeles--Sandy Saddler, 130%, New York, T.K.0.'d Freddie Her- man, 135%, Los Angeles (5) (non- title).

GREGORY'S LEAGUE Here we are on our last section of bowling for the season members, so let's make it a good section. There were several teams almost non-existent, so let's try to do better next Monday night. Only two teams were able to take 4 points and they were the Cyclones and Hard Lucks. The Hard Lucks played against the Lucky Strikes, who only had 2 bowlers turn out and they were bowling real well, so it was just "luck," you might say. Ladies' high single this week goes to Shirley Powers with a nice score of 246. Ladies' high triple honors belong to Doreen Vennor with 636. Men's high single goes to Harry McGuire with 200 and also a lovely triple of 788.

Would the captain of this team please advise the number of points they took if any. There were a few Lemon League scores again. They are as follows: Theresa Dennis with 96, who did very well ending with that as she only had 11 points in the 5th frame. Millie Hannan 70; Imelda Beaupre 59; Bill Burke 99; Mary Tharan 98.

"We've been four years building the team and we're now at our peak," said Kilby MacDonald, spe- cial assistant to Coach Pete Mare tin. : The Quebecers open a best-of= five series here Thursday night against Inkerman Rockets in the Memorial Cup's Eastern-Canada semi-finals. "We've scouted Inkerman in their series with Halifax St. Mary's and off hand I'd say Citadels are a heavier club and have more depth," MacDonald said. The most vital cog in the Cita- dels' machine is Jean Beliveau, a high-powered 19-year-old e2ntre. 0| He was the league's top goal-gete ter with 61 and turned down a ree puted $15,000 two-season offer from Montreal Canadiens of the N.H.L, to play his last year in junior ranks with Citadels.
