ITRA AER: ER 40 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE, Friday, October 16, 1953 Os] SPORTS MENU "Everything from Soup to Nuts" by Geo. H. Campbell SPORTS EDITOR 's a lot of sports activity a city or by local teams, which will be of interest to our sport fans of city and distiict, this weekend. Down at the Ilinsmen Civic Memorial Stadium tonight, for instance, there's a baseball doubleheader. The Oshavia Legion Minor Baseball Association are cleaning up their 1953 diamond sea- son, under the lights. There's a city championship series game in the Bantam ranks, between Stark's Plumbers and Victor Sports and Cycle and Starks can cop the title with a win tonight. The other game is a sudden-death Midget game. Seems a lot of the boys are working on Saturdays (or maybe playing school football) so the Legion re- quested permission to clean up their playoffs, under the floodlights. The first game tonight starts at six- thirty o'clock. Haven't heard yet what foot ball games are on tap for this weekend, but no doubt OCVI and Central grid squads will be in action. The Oshawa Red Raiders have concluded their season, a season which could be tolerantly described as average. The Red Raiders didn't do a thing at the box office and not much more on the field. However, the hard- working executive members and enthusiastic team members are going to put on a drive to help the club get "out of the red". As an ORFU Club, Red Raiders are entitled to five pairs of Grey Cup tickets, for the big grid clas- sic on November 28. They're going to run a draw for these, the tickets to be given away in pairs, as prizes. \ Wren Blair informs us that his Oshawa Truckmen, while all set to open their scheduled down in Bow- manville next Saturday night (Oct. 24) against Peterborough, will in the meantime have an exhibition game this Saturday night. The Truckmen are going up to Stouff- ville tomorrow evening, for a tilt « with the Clippers. These two teams were in the same group last winter and the rivalry was of the keenest, with Oshawa beating out Stouffville for the sectional honors, before they bowed to Kingston Goodyears. The Truckmen have their new uniforms and all players are signed. Among others, we hear that Les Colvin is showing up very well in goal, and the birds report from Bowman- ville that the Truckmen will be a real attraction. . Local hockey fans are remind- ed that the Senior "B" schedule embracing Oshawa Truckmen, Orillia, Peterborough, Belleville and Kingston appears in today's sport pages. The truckmen will on Tuesday nights, soread over a period of about 20 weeks. Sub- scriber tickets for the Oshawa Truckmen's home games, in the Bowmanville Arena, are now on sale. Half of the available seats are on sale in Bowmanville and the other half here in Oshawa, at Bolahood's Sportshaven. The us- ual system is in vogue -- a buck per seat, a subscriber must pick. up his ticket by 6.00 p.m. the night of the game, he can miss up to three games in a season without losing his rights -- and if he attends 19 games --he gets the 20th game for free. Proof that the winter season is almost with us is contained in the following item. The officers of the Oshawa Curling Club report that the club rooms have all been put in ship-shape and the club's facilities are now available to the members. The *'shooter" players will no doubt move right in. The Club President, Bill Minett, informs us that his executive hopes to have curling ice available early in November and already working commi! chair- men have been appointed. Norval Willson again heads the Member- ship' Committee and with an antici- pated membership of over 400 this winter, newcomers to the city who would like to curl or homebrews who are ready to try the popular sport, should contact Norval for an application form. Here's news for the beaglers of Oshawa and vicinity. After a two-year lapse due to a shortage of rabbits, the famous Montreal TA-I-O Beagle Club swings back into action this month with their 19th CKC licensed field trials. to be held on new grounds this year, at H ingford, Quebec, Octob 24-25. The Montreal beagle men are making a real plea for all their old triends to come back and renew acquaintances. The usual field trial rules will be in vogue, their club president, 0. H. Lavoie, at St. Johns, Iberville, Que., will handle all dogs shipped to him and have them at the grounds for the trial, in good condition. BRIGHTS BITS: Oshawa Tennis Club will wind up the 1953 season tonight at the Hotel Genosha Blue Room with presentation of troph- ies, prizes, etc., and a discussion of plans for 1954 . , . Toronto Mus- | tangs, a Japanese basketball ball team of great class and fame, Int. "A" finalists for Ontario last year and Toronto champions, invade Simcoe Hall tomorrow night for an exhibition game with the Simcoe Hall Grads, at 8.30 o'clock. Should be a real treat for local basketball enthusiasts . . . Tom Reece, 80, world's billiard champion with a have 20 home games, 13 on Satur- day nights and the other seven record of 499,135 points, in 1907 -- died today at Lancing, England. SPONSOR IS WILLING Prospects Are Bright For Inter. Team In Bowman'le Prospects for a good strong Bowmanvill. Intermediate Club in the Lakeshore Hockey League look considerably brighter following the first practice at the Arena last ay night. The announcement by '""Mike" Osborne that he will sponsor the Intermediate Club if a fast, contending squad can be as- sembled, is welcome news. A glance at the roster of players lined up would seem to indicate that a top-notch club can be iced, 'and that probably Mike, who sponsored the strong Bowmanville Imperials during the 1949-50 and 1950-51 sea- sons will again take over sponsor ship of the local squad. PLAYERS AVAILABLE Mr. Osborne has several players from that period, whom fans will remember, already lined up. They are Tod and Alvin Lintner and Phil Burkart of Whitby and Bob Dionne of Oshawa. He has also lined up a very good playing coach in the per- a standout for the past 10 years with Peoples Credit Jewellers in Senior '"B"" hockey. He is a fast right winger who lives in Whitby, and his hockey experience and savvy should make him an ideal playing coach for our Intermediate squad. In addition to the players men- tioned 'above about 10 local boys turned out Tuesday night, including Don Masters, Bob Bird, "Buck" Cowle, Harvey Lunney and Dan Girardi of last year's Barons. Four good players from Oshawa and two Ajax boys also turned out. PRACTICE ON SUNDAY These players look like a good solid foundation on which to build a strong Bowmanville entry, which will not have to take a back seat to any in the Lakeshore League. The second practice will be held at the Arena from 10 to 12 a.m. Sunday. Any players interested in trying for a place on the team are invited to son of "Doc" Dafoe, who Fas been turn out.

TOP STARS RETURN TO ACTION 1953-54 OHA Senior "A" Hockey Race Opens Tonight--Eight Teams Entered By THE CANADIAN PRESS The Ontario Hockey Association Senior A, series opens its 1953-54 season tonight with new companies and new stars along with the vet- eran troupes. Windsor Bulldogs, newcomers to the eight-team league, open the long schedule at Chatham against St. Clair Maroons. Stratford In- dians clash with the Tigers at Ham- ilton. Before the week-end is out the fledgling Niagara Falls Cataracts will have made their debut. The regulars--Allan. Cup cham- pion Kitchener-Waterloo Dutchmen Sarnia Sailors and Owen Sound Mercurys--will also see action within the next three days. HOPE TO REPEAT The Dutchmen, who gave the Twin Cities their first Allan Cup in 35 years last season, are out to do it again. Netminder Keith Wood- all, who turned down a regular berth with Kitchener this season, will act as the spare goaltender. Regular chores will probably be handled by Bill Harrington, who came up from the junior league wheer he performed with Barrie Flyers and Kitchener - Waterloo Greenshirts. On the forward line are hold- overs Bobby Schnurr, Don Bauer, Maurice Leveque, Charlie Brooker, Clare Martin, Harry Psutka, Howie Lee and Art Hurst. Veterans Jack McKenzie and Doug Verity, the team's 34-year-old grand-daddy, are back. Newcomers on the forward line are Ken Laufman, with Ottawa Senators of the Quebec Senior Hockey League last year, and Johnny Muritich of Smiths Falls Rideaus. New faces on defence are Mike Delich from northern Ontario and Joe: Schertzl of Brampton. Bob Rafferty, who took over coaching duties in mid-season last year, will again handle t'.e bench. NEW FACES AT SARNIA Sarnia Sailors also went shop- ping during the summer. Dave Broadbelt, a standout with Mont- real Royals in the Quebec junior circuit last year, will be in the nets. Art White, with Guelph Bilt- mores and Galt Black Hawks of the OHA Junior A ceries for the last two winters, will strengthen the defence. Les Douglas, American League scoring champion with Cleveland Barons in 1949-50, will ccach the Sailors. Stratford Indians are stressing a youth movement, Howie Meeker, whose ailing back i preventing him from perfo! with Toronto Maple Leafs, was allowed to take up coaching duties. Meeker is hold on to enough veterans to steady his squad. Five candidates are in the race for net- minding berths -- last season's Bruce Dale, Gerry Hesse, Boat Hurley of Kitchener, Don Head of Toronto and Bob Shropshire of Oshawa. Holdovers Bill Walsh, George Nicholson, Don Heinbuch, Tommy Walker, as well as Keith Tolpot of Stratford are trying for defence. TOP SCORERS BACK Mickey Roth, Billy Flick and Dinny Flanagan, inseparable for the last four years, will again head the attacking units. The trio has led the scoring parade for three seasons. George Aitken, Herve De- jordy, Larry Lemenchick, Ken Du- charm andBrice Burdett will "all return as forwards Hamilton Tiger coach George Redding has a couple of problems. Walter Atanas, whom Redding would like to have, has been marked for San Francisco. The Tigers also want Kitchener's Har- vey Jacklin. But Redding's consolation is his netminder Al Bennett. Despite the poor showing of the Tigers last year, Bennett was tops. Harvey Fraser of Brantford, Steve Brkla- cich from Charlottetown, George McLagen, Leo McGinn and Bill Dinning will attempt to supply de- fensive support. Doug McKay, with Brantford last year, Eddie Busch and Jack Taylor, fourth in the Senior A scoring par- ade last year, will make up the first string. Hub Anslow, Murray Comfort, Billy Hammond and Bill Hartsburg will add to the forward strength. SIX NEW PLAYERS Owen Sound Mercurys, who pro- vided the opposition for Kitchener in the OHA Senior A finals last year, have signed six new players. Elwyn (Moe) Morris and Elmer | Skov, a junior with Windsor Spit- ! fires last year, are on defence. New forwards include centre Herbie Aces of the QSHL, Jerry Horton, up from St. Catharines Teepees, | and Bill Hagan, formerly with | Barrie Flyers. | Holdovers are all-star goaltender | Pronto Don Adds To Trotting Loot YONKERS, N.Y. (AP)--Pronto Don, the world's leading money- winning trotter, took an early lead Thursday night and stayed there the rest of the way to d»feat nine other speedy trotters in the $25,- 000 Gotham Trot at Yonkers Race- way.

Four more lengths behind came Katie Key, the second , choice, gwied by Pat Tuccio, Riverhead, GHOSTS ADD 3 PLAYERS COBOURG (CP)--Cobourg Gal- loping Ghosts mysteriously ob- tained three new players Thursday whom they will use in their two- game, total-points series for the Ontario Rugby Football Union central group intermediate cham- ionship against Peterborough Or- uns. Two of the given as Sullivan and Polanski. They are said to be linemen. The third player was unnamed. All were reported 'former big-tim- ers.' First game of the series will be in Peterborough Saturday with the return engagement scheduled for Cobourg a week later. layers' names were Bob Gillson; defencemen Art Hay- | LAST NIGHT'S STARS By THE CANADIAN PRESS Jean Beliveau and Bernie Geof- frion, Montreal, who both scored twice as Canadiens ran wild over New York Rangers for a 6-1 win.

MMAROONS YOUTHFUL Chatham St. Clair Maroons are following Stratford's youth move- ment. Average age is 23. Coach Blackjack Stewart has 12 new faces. Much is expected of young netminder Henry (Red) Bas- sen from Calgary. Stewart also is hopeful of the abilities of defence- man Danny Blair late of Guelph Biltmores, and Frank Bonello, third highest scorer in the OHA Junior A series with Galt Black Hawks in 1952-53. Niagara Falls Cataracts, starting from scratch, present quite a chal- lenge to playing-coach Pat Wilson. Wilson, former Stratford coach, figures his defence to be one of the best. Goalie Don Lockhart expects strong sv--ort from Morvel (Red) Olden, Gord Byers, Tor.my Buck and coach Wilson. Leftwinger Lloyd Ferguson, third in the scoring race last yeas with Stratford, Ed Plata, Bill Kidatsky of Crowland and Springfield and! Connie Switzer, a former £t. Cath- arines Teepee, will pace the attack- ing lines. Windsor Bulldogs gave up their Windsor Spitfire Junior A franchise to get in with the big eight. Coached by NHL veteran Murph Chamberlain, the Bulldogs have Lyle Wiseman, right-winger from Cuarlottetown, where Cnanocciain coached last year, and centres Clarence Jestor of Lethbridge Na- tive Sons, Elwood Ritchie of Kitch- ener and Bill McPherson from Spokane Flyers of the Pacific League. \d Defencemen include Dick Kota- en from Kamloops, Bob Cooper, with Glace Bay, N.S., last year, Bob Hayes, Don McLaughlin and Jack Power from South Porcupine. Nick Pidsodny, reinstated after playing with Buffalo in the AHL, will tend goal.
