PAGE TEN THE DAILY T IMES-CAZETTE WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1951 CHECKING ON SPORT Let's get statistical with the Oshawa Generals and their cur- rent hold on ninth place in the OHA Junior "A" race. The Gens, after a poor start, are seemingly on the way up. They haven't lost a game in their last three outings. These in- cluded one win and two ties. After defeating Gueph last Sat- urday eve, the team will rest till tommorow when they take off for Waterloo and the internally troubled Hurricanes, The club's coach for the last year, Bob Kinnear, has been fired and "Bun" Cook, manager of the Arend, formerly of Timmins and a well-known pro of former years, has been named to succeed him. All that switching could or could not mean trouble for the Gens. We figure our boys can take the Hurricanes, and if they do, it means a jump into sixth place with nine points. At the present time, the club has scored 30 goals and has had 48 pumped in against them. That compares favourably with Windsor, Waterloo, St. Catharines and Kitchener. In other words our goalers have held out more than those teams and if we can get our forwards clicking for points (our big difficulty up until the present win streak) we should move ahead of four clubs and take over possession of sixth place. Marlboros and Guelph are the only teams that the locals would have trouble catching if we got onto a real win streak. 7 4 This coming Friday evening Red Raiders travel to Hamilton to do battle in the second game of their ORFU points-to-count series. It looks very much as if there'll be a bus-load heading for the Mountain City and we'll be aboard. Say, speaking of football, the latest in plays was one pulled off by the OCVI-CCI Senior Com- bines in their Lakeshore Cossa final with Peterborough. Credit for the "bath-tub" play goes partially to Bill Kellar, who is said, dreamed it up at a prac- tice session, and to Lou Majoris, who in subbing for Bill at the game, had the courage and fore- sight to pull the manoeuvre. This was, by the way, all un- known to the coach, Don Mcll- veen. Here's how it went, and you can imagine how the opposition men- tor, Bev Goulding received it . . . his 'hair is greyer amd somewhat thinner! The wingline all shifted to the right of the centre (or snap). The centre on the signal snapped to the quarter, who in turn faked a fumble on the right side. The centre, in this case Cliff Edgar, pulled the ball back between his legs and started running through the opposition backfield. were naturally caught unawares « « . still looking for the fumble far to the right. The way it turned out, Edgar ran 40 yards before being tackled. The officials were caught on the play as well, and whether it was legal or not, allowed it. Goulding raved for the next 15 minutes . . . playing time! vs CHECKLETS -- We notice that the Spitfires finally click- ed for a win . . . and that not many hours later, they click- ed on a trade. This shift in players was a two-for-one deal that sent Larry Thibeault to the Flyers and brought goalie Marv Brewer (he played for the Flyers "here . . good too) and Reg Campbell (a former General) to the Spits. i Until they got Brewer, the Spits were depending entirely on 15-year-old Den Riggin to fill their riggin.' (a pun, ugh!) Dick Platkowski, another for- mer General, was dropped along with Don Wilson earlier last week. , Did You Know Dept.--That Paul Fleck, a former Osha- wan, is now attending Albert: College down in Belleville and is playing a mighty fine centre for that school's football team. That the Ajax basketball team will have to get along without any players from Osh- awa this year. The reason be- ing that no team of Inter. "'C" calibre may have 'a player from a community of over 7.500 population on its roster. Remember that this is the last day for getting in your requests to Ross Drew (phone 3-3415) for tickets on the bus that leaves Friday for Hamil- ton and the Red Raiders' big game. . Don't miss that one. To all ball fans--the picture "Angels in the Outfield" is recommended. Not because it contains an overdose- of tech- nical baseball . . . because it doesn't. We say see it at the Regent, because it's one swell story. It has baseball, come- dy and the odd tear-jerking scene, good entertainment. . «+» By Bob Rife. CHICAGO BLACK HAWKS THE PREDICTED "BIG CLUB" DOESN'T DRAW FLIES By the Canadian Press It doesn't pay to play the Chi- cago Black Hawks. Ask Boston Bruins. : The Horrible Hawks, with their record of five straight National Hockey League losses, went to Beantown last night and the Bruins not only lost the game 3-1, but didn't make enough money to pay for the hired help around the rink. Only 5193 fans were on hand, the lowest NHL crowd in Boston in many years. Last week, the Chi- cago Stadium reached an all-time low professional hockey attend- Involved in Trade REG.

MAKES SMALL GATE Maybe the Bruins' home record this season of three ties and a loss contributed to the small gate. But Lynn Patrick's crew, the sur- prise of the league with 13 points |in as many games this season, had | been doing tolerably well at the {box office -- until the Hawks ar- rived in town. The Hawks, who haven't won a game since they defeated the equally-inept New York Rangers 4-2 at Chicago Nov. 1, sewed up the game with a two-goal outburst in the first. period while .

By the Canadian Press Orv Tessier scored three as Kitchener Greenshirts moved back into fourth place in the OHA Junior A race, defeating the third - place Galt Black Hawks 5-2 before 2546 hometown fans last night. Shirts now trail Galt by two points. Rough play featured the game. Kitchener defenceman Jim Farelli, centre of a player dispute recently between the two teams, drew 24 minutes in penalties with a rugged display against his former mates. Shirts led all the way. Frank Toyota gave them a 1-0 lead in the first period and Red Novak CHICLE PLANS COMEBACK Miami--The South American race horse, Chicle II, has shown con- siderable improvement after a respiratory operation, and. is being prepared for a comeback this winter on his favorite racing surface, Hialeah's grass course.

Hamilton (CP) -- Hamilton Ti- | ger-Cats, who demonstrated to To- ronto fans last week that they like the messy going, will be right at home today when they meet Ot- tawa Rough Riders in - the first game of the home-and-home total- points Big Four football final. The | Civic Stadium grounds are a mess | of mud. | The forecast is more rain this | morning and clearing by evening-- | after the 1:45 p.m. game. | Riders, who ended a three-way | {tie with Toronto Argonauts and |the Cats and drew a bye into the! | final round, arrived last night and | immediately squelched any ideas and Ottawa's Tom O'Malley ap- peared to be out due to condition of the field. Crowe said he would far rather play on a dry field but Tiger officials aren't a bit happy about it. The Cats proved they were mud- ders with a 24-7 decision in the Final OMHA Forum In Lindsay Friday The ninth and final OMHA rules [that the club has suffered from its | forum for this season will be held {10-day lawoff.

Ottawa, which has beaten Tiger- | Cats in three of four starts in re- gular season play, expects a tough battle but Crowe makes no bones about the outcome. "There isn't a doubt that we'll beat Hamilton," he said yesterday. "We've got a better team. If we lose we'll have no alibis."

FOCKEY'S BIG SEVEN By THE CANADIAN PRESS Veteran right winger Johnny Peirson of Boston salvaged an as- sist out of his tegm's 3-1 defeat by Chicago Tuesday, night to pull himself up among the top 10 play- ers in the National Hockey League's individual scoring race. Montreal linemates Maurice Richard and Elmer Lach contintue to dominate the scoring with 15 points apiece. Richard also is top goal - getter with 10 and Lach's 13 assists are highest in that de- partment. Adam Brown of Boston and a couple of Torontonians, Ted Ken- nedy and Sid Smith, are grouped behind Richard and Lach with 11 points each. Following them are Detroit's Gor- die Howe, Montreal's Bert Olm- stead and Ken Mosdell and Peir- son with 10 points. The Leaders: Richard, Montreal Lach, Montreal rown, Boston Kennedy, Toronto Smith, Toronto Howe, Detroit ..

The Hawks end their four-game road tour at Detroit Thursday night. The Red Wing farmhands took a 6-1 pasting in their only meeting this year and, unless eoach Ebbie Goodfellow gets some extra help from Detroit in a hurry, his Hawks are in for another lanc- ing from the league leaders. The second-place Toronto Maple Leafs meet the Rangers at New York tonight to complete the mid- week schédule. . Veteran Leads Senior Tigers To 4-1 Victory By the Canadian Press It wasn't hard to pick the stars in the Ontario hockey association Senior A grouping last night. There was a three-goal "scorer in each game. At Hamilton, veteran Ab Conick fired three for Tigers, all in the last period, as they downed Kit- chener-Waterloo Dutchmen 4-1. The win enabled Tigers to increase their lead to three points over the idle Stratford Indians. Last season's Allan Cup champi- ons, Owen Sound Mercurys went down to a 5-3 defeat at the hands of Brantford Redmen as Don Ober- Jim Pernfuss scored with only 25 seconds of the game gone for Kitchener-Waterloo. With goalie Boat Hurley playing steadilv, and at times, sensationally, the Dutch- men maintained the 1-0 lead until Bud Kemp evened the count early in the final period. Conick then roared through for his three goals and the Hamilton triumph. It was annnounced that Alf Childs currently aspiring to a poli- tical career, made his last appear- .|ance' in goel for Hamilton. He will be replaced by Al Bennett, former Stratford junior. Both goalies sparkled in the Brentford-Owen Sound game. Keith Woodall, Redmen's net- minder stopped 34 shots, includin2 16 in a torrid first period. Rival goalie Bob Gillson made 32 saves, 14 coming in the opening frame. occurred in the second period Wheng holtzer got three for the winners. "Form" Horses Way Off Form' On UK. Tracks By ALAN HAREY Canadian Press Staff Writer London (CP), -- If "bridge-jum- per" means a man whe goes broke betting form horses, Britain should start building bigger and better bridges. Nearly everybody wants to jump. For this 1951 flat-racing season, which mercifully ends this month, has been a heart-rending experie ence for the fellow who likes t® play large sums on "chalk' horses. Most horseplayers find they bet not wisely but too much. In every big race this year, the horse that couldn't fail on form turned out to be a nag that lagged. For instance, the Lincolnshire Handicap last March went to a temperamental longshot nam ed Barnes Park, with the favorite As- tronomonte almost last. A 100-to-1 shot named Nickel Coin galloped off with the 'Grand National steeplechase, leaving the favorites so demortlized they couldn't even complete the course. Ki Ming won. the Two Thousand Guineas, Neasham - Belle ' came from nowhere in the Oaks (and hasn't been heard of since) and Arctic Prince won the Epsom Derby by eight lengths. All were shooting-at-the-moon outsiders. Well-backed Three Cheers sal- vaged something by winning the Cesarewitch, but the cheers were slightly feeble. Two weeks later --Oct. 31--the Cambridgeshire, one of the biggest betting races, went [to a 28-to-1 chance appropriately | named Fleeting Moment. What happens to all the folding money entrusted to losing favor- ites? Don't ask the bookies. They are philanthropic gentlemen and | their only interest is improving the | sport. By their own admissions, {they never--well, hardly ever-- have a winning season. | Bookmakers are legal in Britain |and most of the big money bet lat the tracks goes into the leather | sachels of the sharp-eyed men who | stand near the rails, shouting | prices and watching for signals from confederates on how the bet- "ting is going elsewhere. They are | cagey customers. They .seldom of- | fer more than 20 to 1, no matter [how decrepit your steed may be. {This month a horse named Sea light paid nearly: 500 to 1 in the totalizer, but the bookies paid out | only. 20 to 1. | Still, they say it's been a tough | season. Cne problem .is bettors | who won't pay their losses. A | leading firm of bookmakers said it | had $96,000 owing to it after a four- | day meeting at Doncaster, York- [ shire, and- not much hope of col- { lecting. | "You've got to be a very rich man to be a bookmaker these days," a leading bookie told racing writer Clive Graham of the Daily Express. Graham, watching disconsolate fans trek home from a race meet- ing on bicycle and on foot, agreed Besides Oberholtzer, Joe Holota and Wally Hnatiuk scored for the winners.
