vw USMAWA DAILY |IMES, THURSDAY, JANUARY 17, 1929 BOWMANVILLE - DEFEATS OSHAWA SIMCOES IN CLOSE GAME 4-3 Simcoes Lose Exciting 3 'Game to Bowmanville Qeborn Brothers Star in the , | Most Thrilling Game of . Season -- Burr, Bunning _ and Whitten Are Best of . Simcoe Team -- Ice Fast . --Big Crowd { Before a well-filled arena in Bowmanville last night a hockey match that is in a class by itself was played, in which Bowmanville defeated Oshawa Simcoes 4-3. Both teams played at a breakmeck ace and not at any time was there a let-up, Fach player Was trying at all times to put up a game that would be a credit to anyone, Bowmanville using a nice combination style of play were by a small margin the better, but Simcoes nearly, and might well have, evened things up in the last stages of the game, . For fully twelve minutes the locals fought like wildcats around the Bowman- ville net, hut James in that same Het was right on the job and their efforts were in vain, LH Bus Whitten was the outstand- ing player for * Simcoes with his fast 'skating rushes and stellar checking, Brenning, Burr and Atkinson turned a pretty game, Burr, Brenning and Whitten each added a tally to their go-getters quota, E., Osborne, uennison, Luxton and Turner are mischief- makers for the Bowmanville team] and along with Dutch Osborne these players' game stood out at all times, . Considering the closeness of the game and the rivalry existing be- tween these two Clubs the game was comparatively free trom pen- alties, Bowmanville getting six and Simcoes four, Fivst Period . The treat that was in store for the fans was indicated right at the face-off when Simcoes' for- ward line broke fast and passing the puck swept up the ice only to be checked by 'Dutch" Osborne who, skating fast, sailed right in and passing to his brother at the right moment assisted in the first score of the game, For tive min- utes the puck was on the move, up and down the ice, both goalies were Kept busy and were able to stop all that came his way, Dutch Osborne again paved the way on one of his rushes, passed to Luxton, who notclied Bowmanville's second, The Simcoe forwards puck passed from one to another to work right in close and Bure battled in a roller, cutting the lead to one goal, Prior took a bigh shot on the neck but continued to play, Densem, for Bowmanville, started trom behind his own net and stick-handled his way through the Simcoe defence apd with a well-placed shot notch- ed Bowmanville's third, "Bud" Brenning was impossible to hold down snd'although he wandered a little, was right there to bat in a rgbound from off the pads of James ig the Bowmanville goal, The per- i0d ended with Bomawnville hav- ing a slight edge on the play and sgoring. "Bowmanville 3; Simecoes : Second Period Garrison replaced Prior in goal for Simcoes after five minutes in which the play was close, Whitten starting from his own end, sailed right through the defence and beat James nicely for the tieing count, Simcoes were unable to hold them, however, and once more "Dutch" started something when he rushed right through and with only Garrison to beat passed to Turner who bulged the twine and put the Bows in the lead. Both teams played good hockey for the remainder of the period, put there Were no more goals to come, An alleged Bowmanville goal brought a storm of protest down upon the referee but the puck wsgs not in, : n had plenty stopping to do and did it well, turning back many that looked like dangerous shots. Beore ended with Bowmanville still bolding by one goal--4-3. : Third Period The final stanza, although pro- duetive of no goals, brought to t some ace-high hockey and owed what wonderful condition the Simcoe team had. They were in there trying every mintte and the pace speeded up rather than got slower. Burr, Brenning, Whitten and At- were everywhere at once shd although the play was in and around the goal pearly all the time, James kept the puck from passing him. The quality of the g#me can be judged by the fact that although in the lead by but ofie goal in the dying moments of the time allotted the Bowmanville 9 - very often in a close' game, and often in a game that is not close, The 1ast bell found Bow- manville in the lead by a singleton and the winners of a great game of hockey, Score--4-3. Teams: Oshawa -- Goal, Prior; defence, Balsam, Peterson; centre, Atkinson; wings, Burr, Brenning; subs, Conlin, Whitten, Garrison, Bowmanville -- Goal, James; de- fence, H, Osborne, Densem; centre, E, Osborne; wings, Luxton, Piper; subs, Turner, Cameron, Danforths Win Upsetting Group No 5. Standing With five slim seconds to go, Danforths dug in with double de- termination to break a deadlock and also a losing streak of four successive games at the Arena Gar- dens last night, defeating Young Rangers 3 to 2 by virtue of the last minute score. The win tossed the eams, trailing West Toronto in Group No, 5 of the junior O, H, A,, into a scramble for the playeff po- sition, second place, which gives the holders the right to meet the pace-getters- for the division honors at the end of the schedule, Dan- forths were driven to their utmust for they faced almost certain elim- ination with defeat, and their best was good enough to extend almost any team, With the Ra 'es rs' grip on second place loosened, vanforths and Oakville both now have chances to figure in the finals, Most of the Danforth success must be attributed to their new goalie, Paul Cain, who stepped out of the Toronto Hockey League ranks to play a star game. What Cain lacked in special style and .fig- ured angle plays, he made up in a weird knack of getting in front of the puck, smothering shots from all distances and directions, The Rangers kept up a bombardment o1 rapid fire at him for three long periods, and the only shots that beat him were impossible to stop, coming on passes from behind his cage to players parked in front of him unchecked. Allo lll iio [3 : jo 4 Junior Chatter By "RAILBIRD" ARETE ROAACRN NORE SENN NN SEMIN MNS To the sterling brand of compe- tition maintained at all times by the junior groups of the O.H.A. for the past twenty years, the: finished exhibitions of skating and stick- handling offered by most of present day 'Big League" may be credited. The youngsters put all they have in them into every game, and any exhibition of junior hockey is so full of speed, pep, rivalry and ac- tion, that the junior series is eu- listing a great following, not only in Ontario, but in all of the prov- inces. The average Canadian boy starts cutting his teeth on the old hockey club at the age of 8 or 9 years, and keeps right at it. Good rink acecom- modation, available at all times, is very necessary to the developmnt of a home-bred hockey star, but also the youngsters must have plenty of competition. Hockey players are made out of playing, and playing at the game. Practice makes per- fect. Until 1921, the winning 'of an O.H.A. chhmpionship meant the crowning of the junior *hocney champs of the world. The "Fal- cons" of Winnipeg, were the first sextet outside of O.H.A. ranks to carry the laurels out of the proy- ince, and westward. Incidentally, this "Falcon" team stuck together, and was good en- ough later to make' a clean sweep of the Olympic hockey competition as representatives of . Canaaa, world's champions, raised from a pup up? Since the Winnipeg uprising or 1921, Western junior aggregations have offered the only worth-while competition to the "kid" teams or the O.H.A. University of Manitoba, Regina "Pats," Calgary "Cana- dians,". and Regina "Monarchs" winning the Memorial Cup four times in six years. Without the juniors being devel- oped, the intermediate and semis O.H.A.,, and finally, the sig Time" teams would be at a loss for new blood, and promising recruits to fill the gaps caused by Father Time. The "Kids" surely do deliver real, honest-to-goodness, bang-up hockey, and we must have them to build up for the future, Oshawa boasts of one of these scrappy, pestiferous jumior teams, who are very much in the running for section honors in their O.H.A group race. Their efforts merit all local fans' support. stars "PORT PERRY SKATING RINK 16 MILES FROM OSHAWA Ice Surface~60x100 feet ~ r--d in etteadance for skating every Wednesday night Special rates for games Arthur Brock, PORT PERRY Thone 43 and hockey practicz Sec.

A, championships by defeating Queen's, the other unbeaten team of the series, at the Varsity Arena last night by 8 to 2, but it was not until the last period that the lo- cals took supreme command as they entered the final twenty min. utes with only a one-goal majority in the five that had been scored. In the last period the Tri-color ap- peared to be shy on condition and in the closing five minutes the Blue 'and White ruystled three counters past Quinn. The game was productive of a much higher class of hockey than have the Queen's-Varsity clashes in the Intercollegiate {in recent years, the presence of three Kings ton boys on the visiting team strengthening it considerably as Joe Smith, Chummy Lawler and Frank Bellringer gave the Tricolor a threat on the forward line that was lacking in the college union. A fairly fast pace was mraintained for the first fifty minutes with play ranging up and down the ice from one end to the other, almost invariably by individual efforts, and both goals had a nunrber of narrow escapes. The losers' shoot- ing was not as true as that of the locals but in the early part of the game the Blue and White attack- ers made the mistake of trying to work in too close on Quinn, Gen- erally their efforts were broken up by the back-checkers or the Brit- ton-Boland defence bulwark and those that did break through were outguessed on four different oc- casions when Quinn came out to smother the shots, Varsity were the better team, al- most all the way, although the failure of Whitehead and Paul to use their bodies on attackers allow- ed some of the Queen's attackers to seep through, but few of these efforts gave Snyder any trouble, most of the following shots being off the line. In the first two per- fods the locals missed many chances to beat Quinn by failure to pass the puck, Harley being the greatest | offender in this respect. In faet, Murray, last year with Newmarket juniors, was the only unselfish player on the Blue and White team. The Tricolor appeared to have an edge in speed, especially in back-checking and this superiority yas more noticeable owing to the Is being slow in breaking away on the attack.

Queen's broke away several times for attacks on SPORT SNAPSHOTS The Varsity Intermediates evened the count on Richmond Hill last night by out playing them to the tune of 10 to 2 in the College Arena ai- ter the senior game. The Varsity sextet led by 2 goals at the end of the first period and added four more in the second and third while Richmond Hill got both theirs in the final frame. Herbie Little who played such a stellar game here on Monday night raked one of the Hill goals in his own net, and later provided the sensation of the game by taking the puck and slaging a rush on his own, If this goaltender had 'only pulled some such bloomer in Whitby the other night the City team would have tied the game up and most likely won it, I By deicating the North Yonge team by such a large margin things begin to have all the earmarks of a victory tomorrow night for the City team, _ If you missed that game in Bowmanville last night you missed the best of the season, not one player of either team lagged and the whole works were on the move at all times, Whitten, on the Simcoesteam was a treat to watch, he was tricky, fast, could stick handle and knew when to let loose with a drive that was a constant annoyance to James, . The whole Simcoe team were-in there trying and the whole forward line deserves. credit for the showing made by them. Burr, Atkinson, and Brenning all stood out. ' The crowd was a Bowmanville crowd and no inistake, they cheered and hooted as the play either met with their approval or disapproval, With all four clubs that are in the contention for the leadership of the Canadian group of the National Hockey League in action tonight among themselves, Canadiens playing the Maple Leafs in Toronto and the leading New York Americans tackling the Maroons in Montreal, there is bound to be some changes in the standing and the Americans are the only club that cannot be dislodged from their position, but their lead can be considerably reduced. As the clubs stand at present, the strong defensive Star-Spangled crew has a four point lead over the Canadiens who have been steadily climbing the group ladder of late, while the Maroons are onc point back of the Habitants and the same distance in front of the Leafs, A victory for the Maple Leafs will enable them to tie the Canadiens for cither second or third place, it all depending upon the outcome of the game in Montreal. If the Maroons and Leafs win, the former will be second with the two local combatants tied for third and the Americans' lead will be reduced to three points over the Maroons and four over the other two clubs. A win for the Leafs will also allow them to increase their lead over the trailing Ottawa Senators, A tic game in Montreal, which is not im- probable, coupled with a defeat for the Habitants here will result in a threc- cornered tie for second place with the Canadiens having the edge as they haye played fewer games than the other clubs in the group. If the Ameri- cans win, they will make their position secure for at least another week, but if they lose, and the Canadiens come down in front in the fixture at the Arena Gardens, the Canucks will be right on their heels, Tonight's Maple Leaf-Canadien N.H.L. game at Arena Gardens will Le notable for the fact that it will be the means of furnishing the first across-Canada hook-up and broadcast of a hockey match in the history of the sport, The broadcast is to be given under the joint auspices of the Toronto Daily Star and the.

Tomorrow night finds three more O.H.A. games on the books for Osh- awa teams. The best bet for local fans is the junior game between Shani- rocks and Bowmanville at the Whitby Arena. These two teams have twice locked horns and Oshawa has had a slight edge each timc: The intermediate games are both being played away from home.

Iroquois Falls 4 Haileybury and a Gathering of Ameri- can Stars of Track and Field to Compete in First Meet of Its Kind When the winged feet of Percy Williams, the Vancouver school- boy; Jimmy Ball, and other Can- adian aces of athletics, sped over the cinder paths of Amsterdam, and in their passing turned those run- ning strips into roads to fame, the {maginaton of the world of sports was fired and the eyes of the world were drawn to the country which had borne these meteors carrying the blood-red Maple Leaf. In the few months that have passed these Canadian athletes have been besieged by entreaties of athletic promoters who would have them carry the Maple Leaf before the thousands that throng the great indoor meets in other countries, This month Williams and Ball will perform before 20,000 spectators in New York in their first major competition on a board track, But Canada has yet to offer this tribute to her splendid athletic missionaries and the reasun ites in that this country had not been able to provide the facilities for this type of competition until a group of workers headed by Charles E, Higginbottom, president of the On- tario branch of the AAU, of C,, contempated a project upon which they have labored for over two years, Date Is Announced Last night at a banquet of 12ad- ing amateur athletic officials Pres- ident Higginbottom announced that the first major indoor athletic meeting in the history of sports in Canada will be neld at the Colise- um in Toronto on Thursaay, Febru- ary 21, "An ultra-modern board track has been built ard is ready for in- stallation," announced Mr, Higgin- bottom."The appearance or all of the leading athletes of Canada and the outstarding performers in the United States has been guaranteed and indications are that over eight thousand fans will see the heroes of the ninth Olympiad in action." All the color and glamor that have gone to make games and other great United States indoor meets major athletic attractions have heen considered and will be laid upon a background of the national track and field championships, and a revival of the Olympic rivalry between the powerful American team and the sensational performers who have raised Canada. to the heights in the world of the cinder path. The idea was not allowed to go off half-cocked. To an attentive gathering Mr, Higginbottam un- folded a vision of organizing achievement that was already three parts completed. These men, working quietly for months, have accomplished much. The installa- tion of a board track at the Colise- um, always the major obstacle in the promotion of a meet of this kind in Toronto, has already been financed and its delivery guaran- teed. The city council and the Ontario Athletic Commission will support half of the cost and the AAU. of C. the remainder, re- ported Mr. Higginbottom, It will be owned by the Amateur Unjon, International Color ; Percy Williams, double Olympic sprint champion, Jimmy Ball, of Winnipeg, and other Canadian stars bave promised to compete and Percy Williams, Jimmy Ball] the Millrose | Percy Williams and Other Olympic Stars to Race in Toronto February 21 within a few days & committee of Canadian athletic moguls will in. vade the United States to gather a galaxy of Awsrican pes to add a brilliant internation aspect to the meet, Williams, in reply to a wire from the committee stated that his decision rested in the hands of P, J, Mulqueen, chairman of the Canadian Olympic Commit~ tee. "Williams will compete at this meet," stated Mr, Mulqueen last night, "His reason for leaving the final decision in my hands ig that he has been newly thrust in- to the athletic limelignt and has turned to the amateur officials, in- cluding myself, for advice, He will compete in New York and in other United States meets under the best supervision that our experi- ence can provide, Thus the rumors and stories of professionalism which always crop up to malign athletic jdols will be offset and the lad's future athletic future protect ed." § Jimmy Ball, who was only beats en by a fraction of an inch in the Olympic quarter mile event by Ray Garbutt, of the United States, will likely be given an opportunity to bear out the contention of Canadian eyewitnesses that he was the bet- ter man by the arrangement of a special race between the pair. Oke Withdraws From Athletics In pursuance of his, decision to withdraw all his support from ath. letic bodies in the city, except those connected with girls' sports, Teddy Oke has notified the mane ager of the Argonauts team thas the Hampden Park field will not be available for their use next year, Last year the Argos junior team played all their home matches at Hampden Park, a nominal rental being charged by Oke, who has a tifree-year lease of the property, Oke also announces that if George Young, of Catalina fame, continues under his management, George's sole Toronto appearance next year will be in the big money swim at the Exhibition. Young, he says, will not be avilable for re- gattas and aquatic meets , as a free attraction, in which role he appeared on many occasions in 1928, If the public wish to see George swim, he says, they will have to pay for the privilege, Hitherto an ardent supported of Ald. Wright's scheme to convert the Humber into a regatta course, | Oke says he is definitely through with his assistance in this regard |as well. Whether or no the swim- mers, whose co-operation he enlist. ed, will also withdraw their suppors remains for the future to decide. Ald, Joe Wright is so fixed on the idea that any opposition will make him all the keener, Oke stated that he was ready to turn over any money he made out 'of professiona sport to amateur sport and his indignation at the fans failing to support him is largely because of the upset of his plans in this regard. Despite Oke's decision to withdraw his support from the amateur teams he spons sored it is ascertained definitely that he purchased tickets for the Victoria hockey team, which he sponsors, to fulfil an exhibition engagement in Parry Sound last night. This last minute relenting cost him another $125 but he will be compensated fn full by the Pars ry Sound club, CIGARETTES FINEST OF
