Parent Giants NEW YORK (AP)--Like the : canary that got swallowed by the cat, Al Dark had that deep down feeling today. The San Francisco manager has watched his National League champions in lukewarm performances spring, but he was a bit embar- rassed Wednesday when the Giants' Tacoma farm club up' and bopped the parent club 10-9 in an exhibition game. The little Giants trailed the big Giants 9-1 going into the eighth, Jesus Alou---the lone member of the three Alou brothers not with the parent club--got things rolling for the farmhands with a two-run homer in the eighth. Then the firing really started.

Canadiens, who were third in the National Hockey League this season for their lowest finish since 1951, looked a far cry Tuesday night from the team that won five straight Stanley Cups up to 1960. They, were knocked out in the semi-finals 'for the last two seasons by Chi- cago Black Hawks. Last year's trade of Doug _ Harvey, their perennial all-star defenceman, to New York has been cited as a major factor but more down - to. earth reasons were given by Montreal for- ward Billy Hicke. BLAMES MISTAKES "We're making three or four B mistakes each game and it's night, Goyette dressed Tuesday night for the first time since breaking his ankle Christmas night. Toronto manager - coach Punch Imlach said that in the first game "we got the breaks because of our good defensive play." But he added: 'I expect they (the Canadiens) will be much better the next game, and we'll have to play better too" Winger Johnny MacMillan, the only Leaf with an injury se- rious enough to keep him out of action, may be back tonight.

Officers, directors and members of The Oshawa Curling Club, have for many years now, been more than generous in providing curling time for schoolboy curlers. At the same time, various teachers, almost all of m members of the Oshawa Curling Club, have devoted and hours of spare time in fostering and operating com- tions, bonspiels, etc. All of this has given Oshawa school- boys an opportunity to curl not enjoyed by the majority of collegiate pupils throughout Ontario or Canada.

In 1961, he set a league record which still stands, by netting a total of 135 points, in a season, playing for Whitby's Red Wings. The team won the Ontario Junior B championship, that year and Davis contributed 92 goals and 43 assists, Last year, he played "He is no super-star, 'but we need a guy to give you an occa- sional whack on the seat." Some observers of Canadiens' 3-1 defeat at the hands of Tor- onto Maple Leafs in the opening game of their best - of - seven semi-final Tuesday night felt they also need a guy to give an occasional whack to incoming enemy forwards.
