PACE TEN fHE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE THURSDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1951 Ready for Another Junior 'A' Season ¥ ~. | the Red Wings at Detroit Olympia. LARRY AURIE MATT LEYDEN (Coach) (Bus, Mgr.) fhe two smilin' gents shown above are two of the key figures in the "board of management" of the Oshawa Generals Junior "A" hockey team and they just about have the decks cleared for the 1951-52 ac- tivity. Coach Larry Aurie has been working his players every night and has them in good shape. The injury bug has fortunately not been active and he has his line-up selected for the opening game here Sat- prday night against St. Michael's College Majors. Business manager Matt Leyden has been busy this past two weeks getting his certificates signed and has met with little difficulty. He warns of course that if the boys do not produce, others may be signed. =GPORT SNAPSHOTS J Ly > Br Gso, H. Camrssir = ul When St. Michael's College Majors come here -on Saturday night to open the 1951-52 Junior "A" OHA hockey schedule, they'll present a lot of familiar faces, since they have quite a number of holdovers from last year's team. Their new coach, Charlie Cerre, has been working the "Irish" hard in preparation for this season and they'll come here determined to get off on the right foot, the right foot that is, with a win over the Generals on Oshawa ice. They have a sub-goalie by the name of Gerry McNamara (but he's not one of the McNamara boys of well-known St. Mike's fame). Neil Buchanan, Art Clune, Marc Reaume, Mike Ratchford, Bill Dineen, their team captain, Murray Cos- tello, Bobby Sabourin, Danny MacDonald and Ed. Plata are, all known to Oshawa puck patrons. Father Don Faught (he's a nephew of Freddie Faught who tended goal for the Oshawa Pats back in 1931-32 in the days of the Ontario Pro League) is again manager of the St. Mike's team. He makes no reckless prediction for his Majors for this season sut states that his team will be better than last season... Meanwhile, she subscribers' ticket sale, for new subscribers, is now on and hockey fans can pick out the seats they want for the entire season, by dropping 'nn at Taylor's Sporting Goods. : * Oshawa Transporters held a stiff workout last night under the floodlights at the local stadium. Coach "Snowball" Wilson and the team members are all convinced that they didn't play their best ball against the London Louball squad and that at the worst, they should have come home last Saturcay with an even split. However, Transporters are now faced with the task of winning the next game and the next--both to be played here, if they wish to force a 5th and deciding game for the OBA Junior "A" title. Rained out on Monday, Transporters had to postpone the future games of their champion- ship final series, to this Saturday. With the World Series just con- cluded--playing an OBA final on Saturday doesn't seem to be out of line but when you recall that the Generals will open their home schedule here on Saturday night against St. Mike's, then you realize that it's been a long summer for the Transporters. Bill Slack, the sensational hurler who pitched two Inter-County championship final victories for London Majors over the powerful Brantford club, is likely to pitch here Saturday afternoon. Oshawa will be sharper 'in defensive play with Frank Hooper having got the feel of the ball again and Transporters are out to win the game here Saturday * + (Continued on Page 11) ® FOR MEN ® FOR BOYS ' Style right all winter long!

For the next six weeks, hockey's only big competition at the gate will be football. Four of the NHL's six teams of- ficially start the 5 l.2-month, 70- game schedule with face-offs at Montreal and af Detroit. It will be Chicago Black Hawks against Ca-| nadiens and Boston Bruins against Toronto Maple Leafs, Stanley Cup champions, open defence of the title at home against the Black Hawks Saturday and New York Rangers complete the league's opening ceremonies at home Sund- day--also against the Hawks. CRYSTAL BALL STUFF The crystal ball has been tossed around at the various training camps the last few weeks and the, experts, speaking 'for publication, have donated only two of the four playoff spots. The pre-season prog- nostications go to Detroit, 1950-51 league champions, and the Canadi- ens to finish 1-2 in that order. The other four--including the world champion Leafs--will settle for fourth place, final play-off spot.

The Bruins, who edged out New York by one point for fourth position in the 1950-51 season, and Black Hawks are slated for the also-ran slots. The Hawks, who finished with a sickly 36 points made up of 13 victories and 10 drawn games, figured in a six-player deal with Detroit this summer to highlight NHL BEGINS RUGGED SEASON ON TWO FRONTS. THIS EVENING games and Manager Frank Bouch- er predicted they will hit the play- offs this time "for sure." Canadiens have been tabbed the most-improved club in the league and they are expected to cut down considerably the 30-point margin Toronto held on them at the end of last season. Some observers pick them to ovérhaill the gLeafs whose roster is practieally" intact.

In addition, defenceman Black Jack Stewart is reported in top form after sitting out most of last season with ¢ back injury but the $75,000 trade, according to Coach Ebbie Good- fellow, has made the Hawks only 25 per cent stronger. SUMMER FALLOW Rangers also made a few sum- mer deals, aimed principally to give the Blueshirts badly-needed scoring power. They farmed out three veterans to their Cincinnati club in the American League and brought up youngsters.

Yanks Cop Series Over 'Never Say Die' By JACK HAND -- New York (AP) -- Casey Stengel sits atop the baseball world today with three straight world cham- pionships in his first three years as manager of New York Yankees. You can bet you bottom dollar that the grizzled old skipper will be back in 1952 to complete his $65,000-plus contract. And probably 1953 and so on. ; Unless poor health dampens the fire of this old war horse, he'll be back as long as they want him. Right now, that's probably forever. Leo Durocher's "miracle men' Giants gave the Yanks a good wrestle before bowing 4-3 in yester- day's sixth game at chilly Yankee Stadium. But they couldn't manage another miracle against an aroused Leafs Name Bolton ~ Spare Defenceman Toronto (CP) -- Hugh Bolton, tall, 22-year-old Toronto-born Hoc- key player, was named last night as spare defenceman for Toronto Maple Leafs of the National Hockey League.

Trailing 2-1 in games without a pitcher for the fourth, the Yanks got a terrific break when a 2%-inch rainfall washed out the game. RESTED REYNOLDS With Allie Reynolds gaining an- other day of precious rest, the In- |: dian came back to blind the Giants Monday.

Johnny Mize walked to long fly over Irvin's head for a three - run triple .and the game. Vic Raschi, the eventual winner, was knocked out in the seventh when Johnny Sain, an old National Leaguer from Boston, put, down three men in a row after Raschi gave two hits. The real dramatics came in the ninth when Eddie Stanky (singled, Dark beat out a bunt for a hit {and Whitey Lockman singled to | load the bases. Sain was done and Casey waved in Kuzava. The lefty got Irvin and Thomson on fly balls to Woodling. Each time HANK BAUER Hank Bauer was all smiles as he explained how he almost failed to make the catch that marked the final out of the World Series. "I lost the ball in the shadow of a light tower," the outfielder ex- plained. 'For a while I didn't see it at all. I didn't know I had it until I saw the bdll in my glove." The catch by Bauer was the game-saver. It came at the expense of pinch-hitter Sal Yvars with two out and Whitey Lockman on base failed to come up with the ball, Lockamn would have scored the tying run. As it was, the Yankees ran off the field with a 4-3 triumph, their fourth in six World Series games, to give them their thrid straight world championship. '"'Bauer caught it," quipped Man- ager Casey Stengel in the locker room, "but I swallowed it." It was Bauer, too, who produced the game-winning hit. The bases were loaded and there were two out with the count three-and-two on Bauer when Hank pickled a fat pitch down the middle by lefty Dav Koslo clear to the 400-foot fence in deepest left. The blow went for a base-clearing triple and broke a 1-1 deadlock. "It was the biggest hit I ever got in =r ]ifa."" cajd Bauer.

Boivin, who has signed a pro contract amd has been training with Pittsburgh, was described by Smythe as "one of the best young defence prospects in years." . St. Mike's Upset . Junior Marlies Toronto (CP) --As far as the |two Toronto teams in the Ontario | Hockey Association Junior A series |are concerned, things may be dif- ferent this year. St. Michael's Majors, who finish- ed in ninth place last season, gave some promise of the switch last night when they scored a 5-3 upset victory over Marlboros, who finish- ed well up in the junior race. A big, fast and highly spirited team, the Majors out-played the Marlboros throughout and held a | bigger edge than the score would indicate. Butch Ratchford scored two goals for the Majors, Murray Cos- tello, Bob Sabourin and Jim Logan getting the others. John Lumley, Don Peart and Jerry James scored for Marlboros. 51 Pounds Light: Battles To Draw Spokane (AP) -- Joe Kahut, 51 pounds lighter and six inches short- er than George Parmetnier, got up off the floor twice last night to earn a slam-bang 10-round draw with the big Kellogg, Idaho, heavyweight.

Charles stopped the 23-year-old Salt Lake City, Utah, belter in 2:32 of the 11th round last night in an interesting but unimpressive bout before a disappointing turnout of 6257 fans at Forbes Field. Charles weighed 188, heaviest of his fighting career, and Layne 195%. The fight grossed $59,763, in- cluding $25,000 for television rights. Temperatures in the low 50s kept down the attendance. The former champion was far ahead by points when a hard right to the chin in the 11th dropped Layne for a nine count and the referee stopped it. Up, until the 10th, it was just another 12-round bout. With seconds running out, Charles opened up with a barrage of lefts and rights and Layne went down. He lay prore on his back as the bell ended the round at the count of eight. His seconds had to haul the Utah strong 'boy back to his corner. Refciee Buck McTiernan gave Charles seven roundz. Judge , Art Mcgivern scored it Charles six, Layne three, one even. Judge Frank Stipért gave Charles nine, Layne.one. The Associated Press showed Charles with five, Layne [three and two 'even. : Charles is virtually assured -a promised return match with Wal- cott but neither Jake Mintz nor Tom Tannas, co-managers of the Cincinnati heavyweight, had any- thing to say about his immediate future plans.
