12 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Saturday, December 23, 1967 ! SPORTS MENU "By Geo. H. Campbell Associate Sports OSHAWA GENERALS dropped their game in Kitch- ener last night, with the Rang- ers just having too much on the ball, for our Motor City boys. On the bare face of it, it might look as if the Gen- erals had blown a big one, but the truth of the matter is, that with injuries and hurts pre- dominant, Generals just didn't have the necessary strength to handle Kitchener BASEBALL FANS of the old "Central Ontario League" era, around these parts, must be mighty scarce, but this will be of interest to the real old- timers, and we do mean old- timers. We are indebted to "Andy" Dobson for the infor- mation Andy, who played first base for Oshawa's COBL team back in the early 20's and at that time worked for Flintoff's Hardware, will be remembered by the old _base- ball fans as the 'player who' got himself "hung up" on a wire that stretched across the fence area, near first base Andy still carries the scar. He also was a catcher and for several seasons, caught "Pat"' Patton. THIS STORY is really about "Pat" Patton. Andy Dobson resides in Beaverton (Box 27) and he sent along the infor- mation, which we had missed, in a Toronto Tely story | re- cently, concerning Russell D. "Pat" Patton. Seems, it's three years ago that Pat, now 78, suffered a severe stroke, paralyzed on one side and without much help. Wife Mar garet has been taking care of Pat at home, since last April Pat reads an average of two books (he paper-back kind) each day and that's expen- sive. "Pat" is unable to handle heavy books| but the Veterans' Cheer Fund and Sunnybrook Hospital help out. "Pat" Patton pitched for Osh- awa in the old COBL days, back about 1922. "Pat" was one of the early experts of "the spitter" but we remem- ber him best as the only pitcher we ever knew who ac- tually broke his arm, while pitching in action. Local ball fans of the old COBL days, could do "Pat" a big favor by sending their old paper-back books to the Veterans' Cheer Fund, Sports Dept., 440 Front Street West, Toronto Editor OSHAWA CRUSHMEN, who chalked up another clean-cut win last night, to move up into a tight grip on second place and only a mere shadow behind the leaders, will have four players in action on Tues- day night, when the Lakeshore Junior 'B' League plays its big All-Star game in Peter- borough. The game at Peter- borough Memorial Centre on Tuesday night looms as a big one and by the way, it gets underway at 8:00 p.m. Gary Bradley, Mike Keenan, Bill Prentice and defenceman Frank Sawyer, are the four Oshawa "Crushmen" who have been selected to appear in this All-Star game and their presence adds interest to the event, as far as local fans are concerned OFF THE CUFF: Peter- borough 'Petes' have traded goalie Mike Lovett and for- wards Jack Rathwell and Ralph Buchanan for goalie Bil!

A slight easterly wind was slanting the big, soft flakes into every nook and corner of the forest and field. In the valleys the limbs of the evergreens drooped heavily downward and on the ridges the snow clung to the trunks and limbs of the hard- woods, blending everything into the swirling. whiteness of the storm. BY LATE AFTERNOON the storm began to diminish and finally ceased. The wind shifted to the north and soon the skies were clear. The western horizon was flushed a deep red from the setting sun while the. shadows were steeped in a. deep violet of the coming night and there was a hushed stillness in the forest. THE FIGURE of a man ap- peared at the edge of the forest and he unerringly picked his way over a covered trail to the top of a high ridge. There was purpose in _his stride as he wound his way through the trees. Reaching the highest point of the ridge, he settled himself on a stump and surveyed the quiet scene about him. IT WAS DARK NOW but the first silvery glow of the moon showed over the east and the stars were like a_ million jewells in the inky blackness of the sky. Soon the first shaft of silver from the moon stabbed the darkness and the forest was bathed in light The snow took on a sparkling giow and grotesque shadows crisscrossed the forest floor.
