Pa | a TOT THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, TUESDAY, MARCH 6, 1928 [8 | MARLBOROS 2, NEWMARKET 1; OSHAWA'S PROTEST OUT Marlb Listless Game Featured By, Defensive Hockey on the Part of Both Teams-- Performance of Newmar- ket Sextette Disappointing to Crowd Which Packed Arena Gardens -- Second Game Wednesday Night Toronto, Mar. 6.---Marlboros carned a one-goal margin over Newmarket in the first game of the O.H.A. junior finals at the Arena Giardens last night before a crowd that filled the building to capacity. The Dukes won the game by 2 to 1, and on the play were entitled to a much larger count, It was not the kind of hockey game expected of two of the best junior teams in Ontario, and the fans were frank- ly critical of the desultory tactics adopted by Newmarket and the reluctance of many of the players on both teams to bore in on the net, At times it was six-man defen- sive hockey in the most approved N.H.L, style. For minutes at a time in each period the Newmarket players did not get beyond centre ice with the puck, But they smoth- ered the thrusts of the Marlboro front line as the locals repeatedly skated down three abreast on the attack. The boys from the North appeared to be holding back for the "breaks' that never came, They were apparently filled with a de- sire to keep their opponents from scoring regardless of whether they got any goals themselves, They had no speed, and most of their combination efforts were attempt- ed in a calm, deliberate sort of oros Have One Goal ¥ Lead in Junior F inals confidence in their ability to Mold the advantage after the way they tamed the Newmarket attack last night, Pringle, husky defense man of the Newmarket team, scored the only goal for the visitors. It was one of the very few oceasions on which the visiting attack got any- where close to the Marlboro net. Pringle made a lone sortie and dur- ing a scramble near the net, in which he was the only Newmarket player, he managed to grab the loose puck and whisk it in. Harris had fallen in his effort to elear, and had the two or three Marlboro players near covered Pringle in- stead of looking about for the puck the count could have been easily averted. That Newmarket was well pen- resented by supporters was evident when the team scored, The noise was of much greater volume than that which responded to the Marl- boro's successful efforts. Horner's Gift Goal Ames in the Newmarket net was extremely hard to beat, but 'Red Horner got the softest goal of the night when the third period was 13 minutes old, Horner sailed down centre ice and as he encountered the opposing defenders he drilled a fast low shot that Ames apparent- ly misjudged, The puck slapped the centre of the net uninterrupted in its flight, Newmarket really tried hard after that, and Pringle's tally was the fortunate result, In the second period Don Mercer counted the initial goal of the game for Marlboros, while the locals were playing five men to Newmarket's four, Murray and Pringle were in the penalty box, together with Charlie Conacher. McPherson sailed in on the New- market defense and then passed to Mercer, who was right at the goal + Simcoes and Kew Beach Srs. Play 1onight The finalists in the' City Leagues of Toronto and Oshawa foregather tonight at Barnhardt's rink, when Kew Beach, senior inter-church champions play Simcoes for the in- ter-city title, and Fittings and York Bible Class, runners-up also clash. Kew Beach have a fast and pow- erful aggregation and played off with Port Colborne for the right to enter the O. H. A. semi-finals. They went through the Inter- church schedule without losing a game, the strong St. Clair team, once holding them to a tie. With star like 'Red' Moore, of Halmy Beach fame, Frank Northam, ex-U, T. 8. star, and the rest of the team, on a par, they should be well worth watching. Simcoes are strong, w {hateavhy Simcoes are strong, with a heavy and fast-breaking defence, and are unselfish with the puck. Balsam is the fastest man on the squad. and is an exceptionally clever stick- handler. Prior in goal has saved them many times, and was right 'on' in the Fittings series. These two teams could put up a great game. Fittings were only nosed out hy one goal on the round after being down three goals to the Simcoes after the first game, and have a royal chance to take the Yorkers into camp. 0, C. I, HAS CHANCE FOR BASKET TITLE MEET N. TORONTO Oshawa Collegiate has a fine chance to eapture the inter-scholas- tic basketball title this year, and has now advanced to the sem!-fin- als with North Toronto, in the To- ronto distriet, winners of the To- Co SPOR1 SNAPSHO1S This column's predictions were not far wrong as far as the Oshawa protest was concerned. We refer you to the latest from their majesties, the O.H.A. rulers: 4 The sub-committee of the Ontario Hockey Association at a meeting held in The Mail and Empire Building yesterday, threw out the protest lodged by Oshawa against the Kitchener intermediates. Oshawa pro- tested a goal scored in the game at Kitchener, claiming that the puck did not enter the net, but the referee's report showed the official score to be 4 to 1, the goal having been allowed. A referee's decision is final and there can be no appeal. the Oshawa protest was ruled out of order. Oshawa also protested the size of the Kitchener goal tender's pads, but the evidence submitted by the referee and the two interested clubs, convinced the sub-committee that there wasn't any reason for dealing with the protest in any other way than to disallow it. It was just this way--Oshawa should not be so naughty as to think of entering a protest and interfereing with the O.H.A's cute little schedule, and therefore Papa O.H.A. spank. Referee Farlow has been quoted on numerous occasions as saying that he did not think the dis- puted goal at Kitchener entered the net, and that his report would state the same fact. What happened to that? And the involved and myst- crious way in which the omnipotent O.H.A. sub-(normal?) committee dealt with the other protest--that Ruppel's pads were measured by Col- lett and found oversize. "The sub-committee were convinced that there wasn't any other way of dealing with the protest other than to disallow it" What made them so sure? Did they feign temporary blindness, or does their yardstick measure a different (and shorter) yard? They were convinced--that Oshawa were not very nice to the O.H.A. to try and make them schedule a re-arrangement of games. They were con- vinced--that the previous day, the dates for the finals had already been set, and Port Colborne had so looked forward to meeting Kitchener. They were convinced--well, never mind--they were convinced. As for Kitchener's defence, it was a long time coming, (if it did), and we hope the Kitchener representatives did not lose any sleep over it. It was all settled for them by the accommodating O.H.A, Therefore The most interesting junior final in history, at least of recent years, was played last evening, when Marlboros obtained a one goal lead over Newmarket, From the outset, both teams laid back, and were content with infrequent rushes, with one and two man rushes. Occasionally the Marlboros opened up, but the Newmarket team had evidently been coached to play the Marlboros' game to the bitter end--and did. There was not a flash of the speed and boring-in tactics that the same red sweatercd clan showed against the Oshawa Shamrocks. Pringle was the only man to open up on the offensive, and as a result of following in for a rebound scored their only goal late in the third period. The checking was the closest ever seen at the Arena, Shrimp McPherson and Mucker Mercer checked like Holley Smith at centre ice. Thoms * did some useful checking but as a front line man was useless. Hardly more than once did he venture beyond centre ice, content with taking the puck slowly to the centre, and shooting long range. Pringle, Per raunlt and Horner handed out some terrific hody checks, with Pringle First Membership Meeting OSHAWA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AT CENTER ST, SCHOOL TONIGHT at 8 OCLOCK Every member is expected to be present to vote on the proposed Constitution and By-Laws and assist in the development of a Program of work C0 Oe we va tc SEE YOO SOO JUNIORS LEAVE TODAY FOR TORONTO | Sault Ste.

They nursed the puck at a snail's pace, and lifted it from their own blue line constantly as the Dukes attempted to wrest it away from them, Listless First Period The first period was dull; the second only livened up when pen- alties thinned = out the puck- chasers and made the way to the goal look like an Aberdeen street on a tag day. The final period was perhaps the best of the three, be- cause Newmarket did step out in the last few minutes to try and equalize the score after Marlboros had a two-goal margin that looked pretty safe, No doubt the visiting players were playing according to the care- ron High School League, {7.T.3., the prep. school winners, as the other quints left to fight it out in the play-offs. U. T. S. drew a hye, and Oshawa and North Taronto will meet to decide the finalist with U. T. 8. The dates of series, which will he home and 1Lome games, have not yet heen announe- ed, but will take place sometime this week. The winners will play U.T.8. on Wednesday and Friday of next week.

The collegiate five won group hy disposing of the team gathered together at Runny- mouth, Marlboros looked superior to their opponents in the last two periods, Newmarket seemingly getting slower and slower. "Shrimp" McPherson's checking at centre ice was a puzzle to the in- vaders, They 'could not seem to outguess the diminutive 'Shrimp' and when McPherson was resting up on the bench Mercer handled the centre ice role just as ably. The Dukes played their positions well and they nipped the team work that Newmarket attempted before it could get under way.

Newmarket appeared ast night as ii Kitchener had taken a lot of them Friday at Kitchener--which they probably did. They wer quite content if they could keep Marlboros off the score sheet. What will probably happen, they will open up in the next game, and jt will be one of the traditional junior battles, with plenty of the "wim, wigor and witality" that appeal to the tans.

But even when the Dukes were shorthanded, the Newmarket play- ers seemed to hold back and not take any risks, There are no Steve Brodies in the Hancoek colleetion evidently. The boys were afraid to take a chance, Had they opened up the play the fans would have seen a rip roaring game and the customers would have been on their seats with excitement. The Marlboros set the pace throughout and put forth every effort to make a hockey game out of it, Irvine's Sallies Feature Frank Irvine's lone attacks were among the features of the local's play. He had the defense beaten several times, but lost the puck or lost his balance as he tried to set himself for a shot. Jackson and Charlie Conacher got a couple of close-in shots, but missed the net, Their back-checking was a feature and both of them played for all they were worth, Horper gpd Ir- vine presented just as strong a de- fense as their Newmarket rivals and when the visitors did attempt to plow through they were rudely bodied out of the play. There were no injuries, although Perrault, of the visitors, had to take a rest once after Horner bumped him hard. Harris played a faultless game in the net, and it was not his fault that he was scored op. He used good judgment in handling the long drives that Newmarket persisted in sending his way, and he did not have as many shots to handle as did Ames in the opposite goal, For Newmarket, Pringle was un- questionably the best man on the ice. He showed more aggressive- ness than his teammates, apd his rushes were always dangerous. Collings and he gave the locals a couple of scares with a bit of team work, but for the most part Pringle had to work alope whenever he made a break from behind his own blue line, Murray and Collings did not show as well as they have here on previous occasions. They were subbed often in the latter stages of the match. They are being nursed along for the final game evidently, it is doubtful whether either one of them worked up a good sweat last night. Thom at centre was really a fourth defense player. He stuck to centre ice as though he was glued there, and hoisted the puck frequently to the Marlboro end of the rink rather than lead an attack. When Trivett replaced Thom at centre ice there was more spirit in the Newmarket thrusts, but he, too, seldom ventured beyond the Marlboros blue line unless a golden opportunity was afforded him. Marshall was omly fair on right wing when relieving Collings, and | Lis shooting is not mear as power- ful as the man for whom he subs. If Newmarket really makes an eftort .op Wednesday might, the final game of the series should produce all that the fams hoped to see in the first one. Marlboros are » dogs at. present, though, | and the Dukes look good enough mede High School, Toronto, last Friday. They held the upper hand throughout the contest, however, and always kept enough in reserve tn offset the elever defensive tac- tics of the Runnymede quintet. Today they meet Harbord who were runners-up in their group and lost ont to North Toronto. This game should give the fans an idea of how the team will shape up azainst North Toronto. Harbord always haye fast and clever teams, and last year gave the locals trimming that they hope to pay back this afternoon. On the strength of their decisive victory over Runnymede, 46-13, they should accomplish that feat. Osh- awa will probably line up as fol- lows: Right forward, Young; left forward, Gummow; centre, Hub- bell; right guard, Barnum; left guard, Baird. Subs., Kohen, Dan- iels, Crothers, Davidson and Smith. SEASON IS ON Reading, Pa., March 65.--The 1928 baseball season is now on. That is, as far as the Reading fans are concened. This morning, more than two hundred loyall rooters of the "Keys" gathered here at the Pennsylvania Railroad station and gave Manager Harry S. Hinchman and his delegation of Southern tourists a royal send-off as they started on their journey to Lake- land, Fla., the Spring training camp of the Reading International League Baseball Club, With Hinch- man were two players--Shortstop Everett Scott and Pitcher Vernon Parks--Secretary Walter J. Lud- wig, Trainer Leroy "Tiny" Dippery and two newspaper men. The two players, Parks and Scott, arrived here at the Berkshire last nightt, *'Slicker" Parks driving to this city from his home in Kings- ville, Ontario, while "Deacon" Scott, came direct to Reading from Fort Wayne, Ind. Bofh athletes were greeted by "Boss" Hinchmran and President Ernest J. Poole, of the Reading International League Baseball Club, haps add to it if the play is opened up. Newmarket cannot afford to hold back anything in the final game, and forced to carry the play to Marlboros, the Dukes should find this dish to their liking. Two players on each team were presented with complimentary tic- kets to the boxing card at the Coliseum tonight. Irvine and Mc- Pherson will represent Marlboros, while Pringle and Ames are the Newmarket winners. They were selected as the pick of the teams in last night's games, Newmarket--Goal, Ames; de- fense, Perrault and Pringle: centre, Thom; right wing, Collings: left wing, Murray; subs., Marshall and Trivett. .
