St. Mike's visit the Teepees in St. Catharines tonight and Coach Rudy Pilous has promised his fans that the Teepees Will make it a lot tougher for the Irish tonight, than on Wednesday, when St. Mike's won the series opener 4-1. Here in Oshawa, the hockey fans are waiting for the game tomorrow night when Generals meet Galt Black Hawks in the second game of their 3-out-of-5 series. The Generals made it tough enough for the Hawks on Wednesday but they're going to make | it tougher tomorrow night here. Coach Gerry Brown told ys yesterday that with a minute-and-a-half to go, the Generals appeared to be "home free" but suddenly what looked like a break came up, the entire line charged into the Galt end, along with defenseman Montemurro. The play should have produced a goal, according to Gerry--almost did-- but not quite and then the Black Hawks cleared the puck out, out- footed Montemurro and were away with only one defenseman to beat and that gave them their/chance. Even then it was a rebound play that brought the tying g9al, as Cirka made the first important save. 44 Tiger-Cats Sign Fourteen Players HAMILTON (CP) -- Hamilton Tiger-Cats of the Big Four Foot- ball Union announced Thursday night that 14 players, three of them imports, have been signed for 1953. Heading the list are Bernie Cus- tis, starting his third season with Fcoach Carl Voyles; Vito Ragazzo, passcatching outside of illiam and Mary College fame; ahd Tom Koller, a running half also from William and Mary. Outside Tip Logan, Art Darch, a middle who saw little action last year; and halfback Merle Hapes, returning to the game as a Cana- dian after a two-year layoff, have signed. Among the Canadians are several of the 1952 junior Tiger- Cats, including inside Pete Pet- golf and Frank Dilks, plunging alf, Among the unsigned are Eddie Bevan, last season's big holdout; Dick Brown and Vince Scott. Half- back Blake Taylor has not signed. Some sources say he 1s worried about his eyesight. HOCKEY RESULTS But what almost happened or nearly came about doesn't The record books show that Galt won 5-4 in overtime and that's the way it stands, If the Generals want to tie up the series and get back om even terms, they'll have to turn on the heat here to- morrow night and win over the Galt Hawks. We think they can do it and about 3,000 fans will be on hand to see if they can too! The presentation of the "most popular player award", a Gruen watch, will be made, tomorrow night along with the presentation of a Gruen watch to Bobby Attersley, the leading scorer for the Generalg this season. Then there is a draw for another Gruen watch and also a draw for a TV set,'so with these added attractions, there should be nearly a sellout crowd on hand tomorrow night. Quebec surprised the curling fans of Sudbury and also of a lot of other places, yesterday in the Macdonald Brier play as they knocked off Manitoba and forged to the front with a record of seven wins and only one defeat--their first game, with British Columbia. Manitoba slumped badly yesterday, suffering two losses, to Quebec and to North- ern Ontario and now Quebec leads the field and replaces Manitoba as favorites to cop the Dominion title. Mrs, Woolley won the Frank Shannon Trophy at the Granite Club yesterday, which is emblematic of the ladies' single-rink championship of Toronto. She beat Mrs. Blenkenship of High Park, in the final game 12-7. Two Oshawa rinks are competing in the annual "Fillies' Bonspiel" at Guelph this week-end, Both Oshawa rinks won their first games yesterday morning, with Mrs. J. H. McDiarmid's rink losing their second round game while Mrs, G. H. Campbell's rink won their second game, Osh Merchants Baseball Club have leted arr. with Mike Garbark and he will come to Oshawa as playing-manager of the team within a few weeks. Club-President John Harris plans to meet Mike Garbark in Augusta next week and will discuss plans for other members of the team, Mike Garbark has been in pro base- ball ranks for 14 years, breaking in with Akron. He's a big man, six foot and over 200 tbs. bats and throws right-handed. He. was with N.Y. Yankees for three years, 1944-45-46 and in '44 he played 85 games, batted 261 and had only five errors. Last year Mike played for Rock Hill, South Carolina in the Tri-State League, batting .320 for this Class "B" team. Things are looking up for Oshawa's baseball situation this year and local fans can be prepared to see a strong team competing against the high-class Intercounty League opposition. BRIGHT BITS: --Red Wings won 7-1 over the Rangers last night and Gordie Howe set a new scoring record with two goals and three assists, to reach the 90 point mark--four over his former record of 86. Ted Lindsay also had a couple of goals and Alex Delvecchio had one goal, one assist and one Penalty . , , Hamilton Ti-Cats report that they have already signed 14 players for this rugby season . . , If the OHA doesn't make a serious and full-scale\ investigation into all the circumstances surrounding the hockey player fatally injured in a game at Collingwood on Wednesday night, then there's going to be trouble. Reading between the lines, it looks as if there is room for some house-cleaning in the district . . . The Washington Nationals claim they've got a mew pitcher in training camp with a brand new pitch--a knuckle curve that wobbles and dips as it nears the plate and yet has all the speed of a good curve.

It was reasonable to expect that Howe would shatter his own Na- tional Hockey League scoring mark before the season ended, but the rejuvenation of the Bruins came as a welcome surprise to their home-town followers. | Their victory over the sec- lond-place Montreal Canadiens |came after a rough seven-game road trip, in which they picked up only a& cquple of, ties and slipped from third to fifth place. In one evening, they climbed back into a tie with Toronto for fourth place-- the lowest play-off position. They did it with the willing assistance of the third-place Chi- cago Black Hawks, who knocked off the Maple Leafs 3-1. Howe picked up two goals and three assists as Detroit Red Wings came close to clinching the league title with a 7-1 victory over New York's last-place Rangers, That igave Gordie 90 points--four more than the previous mark of 86, which he set in 1951 and equalled last season.
