The Crusaders and Churchills divided points 3-1 with the Covenanters and Valen- tines; and the Shermans split 2-2 with the Cromwells.

RECORD SEASON Hipleah race course at Miami, Fla. ended the most profitable sea- son in Florida turf history yester- . Wise choftes. but the swan seems to have been 1 of ! sentative clubs, It makes the list we made up before quite a bit longer . . . wot? Speaking of Whitby basket- ball reminds us that their girls club, the Intennediate one that is, lot down in Peterboro to the Town Togs by a score of 69-13 in the return game of that series. It gave the Petes a 123- 36 edge. Still those Whitby (and Osh- awa) girls have nothing to be disgruntled about. Their club did rather well under the cir- cumstances. We expect they'll be back next season with a team in both Whithy and Oshawa, And to turn to coming events, don't forget that re-play of the Grads-Irish ODBA champion- ship final down at Simcoe Hall tomorrow night. + The game gels underway 8700 p.m. This is one ta see! Vv The Oshawa Mercantile Hoe- key League have released their final scoring statistics for league play. The Merk 'loop now heads into playoff action, with the first twin-bill of semi-final play booked for this coming Thursday eve at the Arena. Dodds Motors, the top-placed ¥ilTuloh's, while Eve- leigh's meet the Juveniles. ~ ods not only ended on top n league play, tut two of tHeir men ended tied for top in the individual scoring race. George Samolenko and Ron Nelson are the woolly chaps. Sammy scored nine goals and had eight assists for 17 points. Ron counted seven goals and aided on 10 to get his 17 points. Both are former Oshawa Generals, as it happens. George played last season with the Gens, wile Ron played some nine seasons ago with the Junior "A" crew. Iu third position in the scor- ing was Ralph Phillips, the lanky threat for the Biddulph crew, He scored eight goals and had seven assists for 15 points. He's another former Junior "A" player. His term of office was served with the Galt Black Hawks about three seasons ago. As you can see, the calibre of hockey played in the Merk loop has been gradually upped over the years until now it has more than a few top-notch pucksters performing in its games.
