PAGE EIGH I 'SHAMROCK THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1920 S CAPTURE GR OUP CHAMPIONSHIP, WIN DECIDING GAME Long Series Finally Ends With Bowmanville Juniors . Passing out of the Picture | Motor City Youngsters Tri- . _umph Over Rivals By a Narrow Margin in Thrill: ing Game on Soft Ice -- Will Meet Newmarket on Friday Here "The Song is Ended"--but the melody will linger on in Oshawa for a time. After the most Eruel- ling "serious" as Ring Lardner would say, that a junior team has had for some time, this morning gees the Oshawa Shamrocks safely ensconed at the pinnacle of the group ladder for the third sue- cessive year, Seven times have the pesky Bowmanvillites and the Shamrocks battled this year, with the Shamrocks taking three, los- Ing two, and tieing two, "he seventh encounter last evening put the Oshawa fans in the 'Seventh Heaven as the Shamrocks skat- ed off on the long end of the 2-1 verdict, It was an all-star cast, with Leveque, Arundell and Black as the brightest stars in the Sham- yock firmament, "Eddie" Leve- gue was unbeatable, the one coun- ter that slipped by him being scor- ed from a scramble in front on which he had no chance to save, _Arundell scored the first coun- ter of the piece in the second stan- ga, when he netted a beautiful walst-high shot from a face off at the blue line, this being the third time the red light has flashed for him this year on that play, Black scored the winning marker when he started from the defence, and after skating through the entire team, put a drive in the right-hand corner of the net. The shot was not terrific, but Black outguessed James on the play, James pny ed a star game, and made some remarkable saves, particularly one from Harrington, who had gone ih 'alone, and had only James to beat. Leveque meade the most startling stop of the evening, when he jumped into Osborne's stzzier, gfter the star defence man had beaten the defence. + One of the hest crowds to wit- yiess a game in these parts, fought their way into' the Bowmanville Pand-box, and taking the cheer- ing and the jeering as a eriterion, the majority came from the Movos City. The ice was sluggish and pticky, and the first period was not dazzling fast. In the second the teams warmed to the strug- gle, although the green-clad vyisit- ors had the best of the play in this period. The third, with elim- ination staring at the Bowman- ville outfit, was rough and rugged, and more so, after Black had given the Motor City a two goal lead. Bowmanville played four men up for the entire period, and after Whitton had been banished for tripping, the homesters fairly bombarded Leveque with shots, but he came out of the barrage with colors flying high. The ten- slon between the two teams was marked in this frame, and finally it flared up with a little duel be- hind the Oshawa net, with Har- rington and Hooper providing the entertainment. They were both given the gate temporarily, Me- Mullen, Rundle and Oshorne worked like Trojans to even up the tussle, but for once their of- forts came to naught, or rather one, as Osborne found the net, af- ter one of the wild scrambles at the net, | The stars of the game can hard- ly be picked as all the players worked hard Harrington and Rowden did an immense amount of work on the defence, and with Leveque formed an almost impres- nable outer guard, The forwards 211 checked and back-checked like fiends, and Black in particular did well, as he was covering the hard- working and indefatigable Me- Mullen, Whitton was all over the ice, as usual, and took a pass at everything in sight. Little was | effective, but his shot was not as dangerous as ordinarily, Oshorne's rushes were always a threat, and he was ably supported. Jackman did some fine relief work, The First Period The game started slowly, but gathered sneed as the players got acclimitized, Rundle tested Le- veque early, and Black reciprocat- ed. McMullen and Little hroke into the limelight with some nice rushing. Rowden rushed well, but held the puck too long, going in on the defence, Arundell was checking everything at centre ice. | Harrington was banished for gnill- ing McMullen. ton made daneerovs sorties on the citadels, hut failed to bulge the twine, Near the end of the period the game was showing some signs of its future aggressiveness, and the play livened up, Harrington made James jump, and Leveque also performed a few antics, and the period finished as he smothered a hopper from Oskorne's stick. No gcore in the first, TRe Second Period The play started fast, with Bow- Oshorne and Whit-' manville leading a rush to the Shamrock end of the rink. Leve- que kept up his sensational met minding, and saved from all an- gles. Rowden and Little failed to beat James after strong rushes, The play was transferred to cen- tre ice with neither team able to advance into ememy territory. Ar- undell finally broke away and shot a scorcher at James, who made a great save from close in. Harrington made an end-to-end rush, but neglected Little who was up with' him. Arundel broke. into the ealelum glare with the initial score of the contest. That goal started things, and the play became hectic, Arundel] was given an opportunity to watch the game, and with one man short Whitton went all over the ice, checking and bothering the Bow- manville back-biters, Candler did some clever work, but was inef- fective around the nets, Leveque rushed out to meet Osborne, who got through alone, and stopped a hard shot with his manly enest-- protector. Rundle' and Rowden rushed. Rowden was making It dificult for the attackers to mel- est Leveque. Osborne made a desperate effort to count the equalizer as the gong egounded. The Third Period, With the ice getting eut up, and soft, and the home team with tneir backs to the wall, the last stanza that spelled Waterloo to the How- manvillites, was a rip snorier, from tinkle to tinkle. The tuvyls put four men up to try and snatch victory from the Shamrocks, and the usual garrison finish that takes place when these two aggregations meet was forthcoming. Binck made it look good for the Motor City team, when he made it 2-0, Osborne saved from Whitton, who went in close, and looked to have a good chance to score. Lit- tle, Whitton, and Black checked like the proverbial demons on the firing line, Hooper put a scare In thesfans, when his long, hard shot, looked as If it had entered the net, but was reposing on top, Shinny tactics were developed, as both teams strove desperately in the lagt few minutes. Harrington and Hooper had their little fraens and rest, Osborne put hope into Bowmanville hearts, when he counted their only marker. The Shamrocks were looking wilted near the end of the frame, and the homesters huzzed around the nct, and took many shots at Leveque, who was never hurler in his life, The puck went slithering down the ice, wasting precious mo- ments, and Little, Rowden, Har- rington and Whitton, saved the Motor City bacon more than cnee.

Skating : Federation overturned the commission's decision, wiped yester- day's competition off the books and 'uled that the race must be re-run, The fact that most of the skaters already have left St, Moritz appar- 'ntly precludes any satisfactory at. empt to re-run the race, leaving can- :ellation of the cvent as the probable ventual course, Final Chapter The Federation's action, generally regarded as final, added one more chapter to a short but vigorous dis- ute which began yesterday when an ofiicial of the Skating Federation cancelled the 10,000 metres event be- cause of unfavorable weather condi- tions after six of the contestants had :ompleted their heats. Jaffee had made the best time and was regarded as virtually certain to win first place and cancellation of the race brought forth sirenuous objez- ons from Gustavus T. Kirby, official representative of the United States, | and J. P. Mulqueen, representing Canada. An appeal to the executive com- mission of the international commit- ice ended successfully for the United States when Jaffee was recognized as the champion. His i was reign short-lived, however, for the Federa tion quickly overruled the commis: don and declared the race off, Kirby Not Satisfied The Federation's decision was tak- cn on technical grounds, it was re- vealed tonight, the American protest American protest, the American skat- crs planned to remain in St. Moritz, Although apparently doomed to lose his Olympic crown, Jaffee had the satisfaction today of being hail- ed as the champion by his closest competitors, the Norwegian skaters, who called at his Lotel to congratu- late him, Even should arrangements be made for re-running the race, the weather might have the final say. "nfavor- able since the opening of the Winter sports competition last Saturday, the weather was worse than ever to- night. It was raining hard, and there were indications that the en- tire Winter sports program might have to he called off. . Canada is scheduled to meet Swe- den in the first of the hockey" finals tomorrow, but the condition of the rinks made it extremely doubtful whether this program could be ad- hered to. The ski run and bobsleigh course have heen badly damaged by the unseasonably warm wecther, Final decision on what is to he done probably will come at a meeting of the Swiss Olympic Committee to- morrow night, [ing Joe \Canaaian Pro Now on ome Strech Hamilton, Feb. 15.--Now that the Canadian Professional Hockey League race haa turned into the home stretch, gossipy bits of mews have started to filter through from various ' camps. Hamilton's vie- tory over Windsor last night, prac- tically cinching a berth in the play- off series for the Yellow aud Black, has turned attention again to several players on the line-up of the local club, and bidding has started anew for "Roter" Roth, star centre; Gordie Brydson, right wing, and "Gamey" Lederman, probably the handiest man in the league, Roth and Brydson, the latter a Toronto boy, are popular, and now, on top of all previous offers that have been made by various clubs, the Detroit Cougars, of the Nation- al League, have shown an inelina- tion to take this pair, with Leder- man, too, if he can be secured, De- troit, it is suspected, would Illke very much to take this trio right away, but Hamilton cannot possi- bly part with any of them until the Canadian League closes, Other clubs are waiting patiently for Manager Thompson to put a price on one or all of them, and Chi- cago 'stands ready to tawe Leder- man at any time, Hams Sign Joe Dwyer, The Hamilton club has strength- ened for the stretch run by secur- Dwyer, veteran goaler, from the Kansas City clrh of the American Association, The local management bought Dwyer ont- right, and while he may not he used in the net as a regular, it Is thought that he will be of consid- erable value from a coaching stand- point. Dwyer played for the Peter. boro' senfor O. H. A, team for years hefore turning to the profes- sional ranks with others of the Lift Lock City team, Bill Taugher, Hamilton's remn- lar goaler, has been under a phy- siclan's care for several wee'rs, and if he has not been able to give nis best efforts, it has heen because of an ailing constitytion, which pre- vented him from showing at top form, 4 Falcons to Buffalo It was suggested here today that the Canpro circuit would broaden out considerably next season.

SOO TROUNCES TRAPPERS § TO 2 North Bay, Ont, Feb, 15.-- Sault juniors - practically settled the play off in the Southern group of the N, O. H. A, when they step- ped into North Bay tonight and administered a 5-to-2 defeat to the Trappers. They should be able to protect their three-goal lead in Friday night's game at the Sault, it not add to fit. Sault deserved the victory to- night, though they were not three goals better than the Trappers. The performance of the visitors Wag the best that they have shown locally this season, The forwards combined well, while the defence was steady all through. The Trappers, on the other hand, played Mttle combination in the first period, when the ice was fast, while the heavy going in the lat- ter part of the game made combin- ed play difticult, HOCKEY RESULTS Hockey games played last night resulted as follows: Intermediate O.H.A.

Though Marlboros defeated Niag. ara Falls by 3 to 1 in the initial game of the O.H.A. junior first round here tonight, the score it not a true comparison of the strength of the teams. The Dukes' margin in goals is a tri. bute te the daring goal-tending of Claud Harris and the accurate markmanship of Capt. Shrimp Mc. Pherson, Marlboros proved that they are as dangerous on foreign ice as at home. Their cool calculated sys- tem of play threw an effective bar. vier in the path of the speedy Falls attackers and the invaders' faculty of taking adavntage of every op portunity was responsible for the three goals score in less than 10 minutes in the second period, Two snap drives by the tricky McPher- son and a clever play between Rolly Connacher and Irvine bulg- ed the Falls' twine three times in a row. Late in the final dash Shannon pierced the Dukes' six« man defence to batter the dise past Harris for the Cataracts' lone tally, Harris Halts Falls That same iron nerve which carried him through a senior rug- by campaign while still a junior ifn years, served Goalle Claud Harris and Marlboros in good stead' tonight. If anything the Falls' speedsters beat the Dukes' defence often, but Harris dived and caught and batted the disc into the corners until even the Falls' fans gave him a cheer, Mec- Pherson led the attackers in the pivot position and his shooting in the second period was the decid- ing factor. Charlie Conacher poured shots at Esseltine and that player had a number of mighty | close calls, Owing to the fact that all the Show again on NOTICE tickets have been sold for THE A.Y.M.C, FOURTH ANNUAL MINSTREL SHOW and that two or three hundred people have applied for tickets and have been unable to get them, we will run MONDAY, FEBRUARY 20th, For the fourth time in ST.

"You may call this letter 2 real protest," Kirby told the Associated Press. "Yesterday's complaint was merely a friendly suggestion" ; Kirby informed Swiss commit- tee that the Americans were prepar- ed the re-run the event, but "it would be a travesty with the best competi- tors away." | ing to the Rules Henning Olsen, of Norway, who was responsible for the federation's wtion, said: "It was all according o the rules and regulations of Oly- vic compotition.
