Twenty-four hours--or less--after surviving the ordeal of Christmas morning, turkey dinner, loud ties and all the other occupational hazards traditional with with the season, 128 curlers will invade the Oshawa Curling Club this morning, for the annual Boxing Day Bonspiel, a yearly feature at the local besom an' stane emporium. Once again they have a full entry-list for today, with rinks entered, sixteen opening the competition at nine o'clock this morning the other group following in the second draw, immediately the ice is available., They'll play three games apiece with eight sets of fine prizes as the available "loot" but Christian fellowship and the renewal of sporting friendships being actually the main objectives. It's a busy week at the local curling club too. Following today's big event, the Ontario Teachers Bonspiel, sixth annual, will go here on Friday with another thirty-two rinks competing and on Saturday, the Ontario Schoolboys' zone playoffs for this section of the province, will be held wn Oshawa ice, for the first time. * * * Oshawa Generals got a chance to go home for Christmas this year with no games scheduled this week until Saturday night, when Windsor Spitfires come to our Motor City. The Spitfires have been in the cellar spot of the OHA Junior "A" race almost since the schedule opened but they've dug up a new 16-year-old net-minding sensation, have obtained Johnny Lumley and a couple of other new players in trades and they're making a real bid to climb up out of the 10th slot. Naturally, their nearest objective is 9th spot--the rung held by the Oshawa Generals--and so Spitfires will come to Oshawa on Saturday night, geared for top speed and all-out 'action against the Generals. They need a win very badly if they hope to vertake Oshawa while the Generals on the other hand had better win this one if they are to evade the only other position that is , Generals go back to Windsor can collect three or even four will just about have "tied the * * BITS -- There are two Junior "A" games tonight, Marlies visiting Windsor and Galt Black Hawks playing at Waterloo . . . The figure filberts have doped it all out that Joe DiMaggio and Ted Williams (so far) aren't in the same crass as Ty Cobb and Roger "The Rajah" Hornsby, two of baseball's greatest hitting AND flelding stars of all time. The story in today's issue, reviewing their best five-year periods, makes interesting reading . . . The NHL statistics for the past week show that Elmer Lich of Canadiens scored five points and vaulted into top spot in the scoring race, with Rocket Richard moving up tied with Ted Kennedy of Leafs, for second place, this despite the fact Canadiens didn't do very much actual goal-scoring last week . . Max Bentley's four week-end goals against Boston, first he has scored since he notched his 200th goal on, Dec. 3, is one of the bright spots in the outlook of Toronto Leafs, who at the moment are barely holding their own in second place ahead of Canadiens but losing ground to the pace-setting Red Wings . . . Despite all the "trade winds" that blew rumors of major league baseball deals hot and cold in recent weeks, the breezes have died down now and most of the big name players will be wearing the same uniforms as last year, although there is still time for a few large-sized deals to be made. * * * MORE SHORT STUFF -- Junius Kellogg, the Negro basketball player who divulged that he had been approached by gambling interests and so broke open one of the greatest scandals in the history of the cage sport, says none of the players or teams "give him the needle" for his action-- and why should they? , . .

ICE SKATING TONIGHT Double Header MERCANTILE HOCKEY - Thursday Night -- 7:45 {Ted Kennedy of Toronto ARENA] Records Show Big Season For Pitchers Chicago (AP) -- The 1951 Ameri® can League baseball season was a big one for pitchers with six hur- lers crowding into the 20 - game winning circle -- the most since | another half dozen made it in 1922. Saul Rogovin, righthander traded |to Chicago White Sox by Detroit | Tigers early in the campaign, |proved the most effective twirler {in the major leagues. Official | American League statistics re - {leased today showed him with an earned run average of 2.78, Chet Nichols, rookie southpaw of the Boston Braves, topped the Hauonal League with an ERA of The earned run leader is deter- mined under a new rule requiring appearance in 154 or more innings. Rogovin pitched 217 innings in 27 games and had a 12-8 record. He allowed only 79 runs, 67 of which were earned. Eddie Lopat of the New York Yankees was the only other A.L. twirler to come in under the three- run mark per nine - inning game. He had 2.91. Cleveland Indians contributed three 20 - game winners. They were Bob Feller (22-8), Early Wynn (20-13) and Mike Garcia (20- 13). New York had Lopat (21-9) and Vic Raschi (21-10). The sixth was the St. Louis Browns' Ned Garver (20-12). Lopat is the only left - hander in the group. Cleveland topped the team earn- ed-run average . for the fourth straight year with 3.38. Chicago was second with 3.50 and the world champion Yankees third with 3.56. One of the league's busiest moundsmen was Ellis Kinder of Boston Red Sox who appeared in 63 games, three short of the re- cord 66 set by Ed Walsh of the White Sox in 1908. . Saskatoon Quakers Win In Vancouver Vancouver (CP) -- Saskatoon Quakers yesterday opened a five- game coastal invasion by drubbing Vancouver Canucks 8-4 in an af- ternoon Pacific Coast Hockey Lea- gue contest. The victory moved Quakers to within one point of the second-place Seattle Ironmen. Top goal-getter for Quakers, who led 6-0 at the end of the second period, was Alex Kaleta. The for- mer New York Ranger checked in with three goals. Vanderbilt Passer Tops Bowl Classic Miami, Fla. (AP)--Vanderbilt's aerial wizard, Bill Wade, . put on a one-man passing show in the Orange Bowl last night to lead the south to a 35-7 victory over the north in the Shrine's fourth annual college all-star charity game before 39,955 fans. In 20 minutes, Wade completed 11 of 18 passes for 224 yards, sent two touchdown passes to team - mate Ted Kirkland and fired another scoring shot to Anthony Morocco of Georgia. This performance paved the way for the most ore-sided decision in the history of this Christmas night classic for the benefit of the Shrine's crippled children. If was the third win for the Rebels against one for the Yankees.

TY COBB AND "RAJAH" New York -- Does Joe di- Maggio rate among the greatest hitters? How about Ted Williams and Stan Musial? Who was the best of all? If you go by lifetime averages,, the answer to the last is simple. It's Ty Cobb with his .367 average for 24 years in the post-1900 era. Just for the sake of argument let's try a different system.

Lach Vaults Into Scoring Leadership, Richard Ties Kennedy for 2nd SI Toronto -- Santa Claus appar- ently visited the Canadiens' dress- ing room on an early visit and during his brief sojourn gave EI- mer Lach, Maurice Richard and Bert Olmstead some scoring sticks. As a result the trio was in great form last week, Lach and Richard each picking up five points and Olmstead four, to give the line a total of 14 points, despite the fact that Canadiens were held pointless on Sunday night in Detroit. FIVE-POINT JUMP : Lach's five points enabled him to leap from third place in the in- dividual scoring records to first, passing Ted Kennedy and Sid Smith. of the Leafs en route. Rich- ard also moved up from fourth spot into a second place tie with Kennedy, while Smith dropped from second to fourth. Lach has 31 points, Richard and Kennedy 30 each and Smith 28, while Gordie Howe of the Red Wings and Bones Raleigh of the Rangers are in close attendance with 27. In the matter of goals, Richard retains the lead, with 16, but Howe and Bill Mosienko of the Black Hawks closed part of the gap, each having 14. Lach is away out in front in the matter of assists, with 24, and his closest rival is Kennedy, with 19. Raleigh is in third place with 17, Leafs, Smith and Jim Thomson, are next in line with 16, Thomson having no goals. KYLF IS "BAD MAN" Another runaway race is that for the dubious honor of being the league's '"'bad man". Gus Kyle of Boston has little, if any, competi- tion. He served 81 minutes, 27 more than the runner -up, Tod Sloan of the Leafs. Fern 52 minutes, and Jack Evans of the Rangers has served 49 minutes with the penalty timers. The combined total for the Cana- diens' first string line was one of the best line efforts of this or any recent season, but the Habs' trio had to be good to outshine the Boston Bruins' recently organized Kid Line of Dave Creighton, Jack McIntyre and Johnny Pierson and the Wings' Big Line of Sid Abel, Howe and Ted LIndsay. TWO ROOKIES SHINING Both Creighton and McIntyre, who have played but 13 games each in the league, have 12 points. During the week McIntyre had three goals and two assists for five points, Creighton had four as- sists and Peirson one goal and two assists, a total of 12 points. Howe picked up three goals and two as- sists, Abel one goal and two as- sists and Lindsay one goal and while two | points. two assists, also a total of 12 Top-Spot Wings and Last-Place Hawks Win BY THE CANADIAN PRESS The highest and lowest National Hockey League clubs won in Christ- mas night action. Chicago Black Hawks, behind the two - goal effort of centreman Jim MacFadden, slapped a 6-2 set- back on Boston Bruins, while the high - flying Detroit Red Wings continued on the victory road, edging New York Rangers 2-1. Chicago's victory, breaking a three - game losing streak, pulled them into a last - place tie with Rangers. For Detfoit, it was the 10th straight game without a loss and brought to 13 points the Wings' lead over the second - place Tor- Three Oshawa Boys Up Near Leaders Junior "B" Scoring Lindsay -- Hec Lalonde, smooth playmaking centre of Belleville Hawks, is leading the scoring race at the halfway point of the OHA Junior "B" Central Ontario League schedule, according to fig- ures released Monday. Lalonde has combined 13 goals and 15 assists for 28 points, three better than Lindsay Kinsmen's Doug Powell, who has 14 goals. Lalonde's linemate, Bill Stratham, also with 14 goals, is tied for third place with Gary Robinson of Peterborough, with 21 points. Fast- climbing Ken Schinkel of Lindsay has moved into fifth spot with 11 |9. goals and nine assists.

Detroit has 48 points -- 20 wins and eight deadlocks in 32 starts -- for a comfortable 13-point lead over Toronto Maple Leafs. Mont- real Canadiens hold third place with 30 points, five less than Toronto and one more than Boston Bruins. New York Rangers and hicago Black Hawks are tied in e basement with 25 points each.

MODERN STARS CLOSE Where are Williams, DiMagg.v, and Musial? Not too far back. Williams, in fact, is 11th with .362 for the five years, 1941-42, 1946-48. . 397 There was an interruption allowed . here because Williams was in ser- - vice and the years listed actually were consecutive in his record. Musial ranks 17th at .352 from , 1943 to 1948 with 1945 out of mili- tary service. 4 DiMaggio is 20th on the list with .3504 from 1947 to 1941, the heart of his career. 3 These figures, of course, do not recognize power hittings. There is no aftempt to rate fielding skill or speed. They prove nothing for the five-year period and the post 1900 deadline are purely arbitrary. Still, it's interesting to note that in the "Big Five" Hornsby is the only modern with a plus .400 average.
