' xX THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1931 PAGE EIGHT ATS PLAY TIE WITH STRATFORD NATIONALS AT BRANTFORD Nationals Overcome. Lead In Second Period After . "Patricias Make Good Start Patricias Again Had Hard Luck in Ontario League Game, But Secured One Point Out of Game Played at Brantford Last Night Brantford, Feb, 25--The local hoc- key fans renewed their connetcoin with pro hockey here last night, when the Oshawa and Stratford teams played a 3-3 tie, the overtime not yielding a decision. The Pats. ap- ; red much the better team in the first two periods, but were unable to Lold the 2-1 lead they gained in the second session, losing out when the Marroons rallied. The game was fea- tured by some fluky goals, the rub- ber bounding badly tor the goalers In the first period Burmister was re- moved when a plick grazed his head. He afterwards rejoined his team- mates. Borden Norfolk took the pads and did a good job for his home-town team, The fans did not get the home- | town complex, as in most games, the teams being strangers, but they warmed up plenty in the third period as the boys put the barrage on the respective goals. The game was full of speed and bristled with action all the way. . Faught got most of the work to do in the goalmouth, The Pats' défend- er was right on the job all the way, liaving plenty to handle from both close in and the wings. Roth took the first lead of the night, He jump- 'ed through the defense, sailing right in on. Faught, to give the Pats. no chance. Three minutes later Lott scrambled after the puck after being checked at the blue line, recovering himself and the puck, which had gone ahead, to drop the rubber behind Burpuster. The latter had stopped two shots, and then took the third drive on the head from Lott. The stop 'saved the goal, but lost the goai- er for a while. The fans were pleas- ed to hear that he was not hurt. The third period was the fastest and the best of the game, Kelter- bourne's trick of getting the rubber up in the air was responsible for the tying goal. He shot from the corner after getting a pass from Quesnel. Lott got another tally to retake the lead for Oshawa, the rubber coming down out of the air from the corner. The ruber dropped at his feet, Lott batting it in. "The Nationals applied pressure, Morrison and Walker sup- lying the count that set the game into overtinie. Some one hit the Osh- awa post to get a bad break. Faught had his share of luck, too. The overtime session wag enlivened by a barrage on the goal by' Strat- ford, but Faught was too fast for the attack, clearing' nicely.

The game, a triumph of close guarding, saw only two breaks in the fino defensive play, and they came less than half a minute apart in the third period. MAROONS BEAT HAWKS Forum, Montreal, Feb, 25.---An overtime goal gave the M'antron Maroons a clean sweep in the sea- son's engagements with the Ciuc go Black Hawks. The Maroons edged them out 3-2 last night af- tor coming from behind to tie. The Americans tie with Toronto leaves the Maroons only half a game be- hind the Americans in the race for third place in the Canadian sec- tion of the National Hockey Lea- gue play-offs. PRINCE'S TEAM LOSES Vina Del Mar, Chile, Feb, 25.--- A polo team, captained hy the Prince of Wales was aefeated 8 to 4 by a Chilean team at the polo field of the Valparaiso Sporiine Club here today. All of Chile's elite society was present and the visitors were greatly excited, raany standing on chairs to watch every play. BRUINS BEAT QUAKERS Philadelphia, Pa., Feb, 25.--Led by Eddie Shore, the Boston Pruing plowed through the lowly Quakers for an easy 6-1 victory In a Na- tional League Hockey match at the Arena last night, . Shore .proved his versatility by scoring three of the Boston goals, each on a gengationn! rush through the entire Quaker team, or what was left of it on the ice. WON IN OVERTIME Fort Erle, Ont.,, Feh. 25.---~DBuf- falo faced defeat here last night when with less than a minute to go the score stood 4 to 3 in favor of the Stars, Lauder notched the tieing goal on a pass from Roth with only 15 seconds left and the Bisons came strong in tha cver- time to to win out by a count of 6 to 4.

At"the end of full time, the teams were tled at 1-all, and al- though they played three ten-min- ute overtime periods, which sup- plied many thrills to the capacity crowd, the game ended in a dead- lock, the score remaining at 1 to 1. The tying goal came with about one minute and a half remaining to play. It was just sheer impetus combined with their dramatic Irive for a play-off position, that gave the Dukes enough cnergy to tie the count. The goal came on a brilliant effort by "Bob" Gracie, after the Dukes had had the Sail- ors bottled up in their own end of the rink for several minutes. Gracle, the Duke's speed-skating star,, rushed down the left wing. He beat the opposing forwards, rounded the defence, and, although off balance 'from a body check, sent a hard back-hand shot at Moore, which the Port Colborne goaler had no chance to save, Sa. Wi' Desom and Stane ULUB SCHEDULE GAMES Play has. been continuing in the clup schedule at the curling rink, and in the last few days there have been =ome exciting and in- teresting contests. Last week, with 80 many players away at the To- ronto bonspiel, the schedule was interrupted somewhat, but it is now in full swing again, and the following are the results of the recent games: W. J.

Recently the Stockholm public visiting a leading department store enjoyed the sensation of having their shoes polished by a Negro Prince from the Camoroons, West Africa, a grandson of the late mighty King Bell of the Kamerun tribe. His Highness had taken a fancy to Buropean civilization and instead of returning home to claim his royal rights, preferred to earn his living by polishing white people's shoes. Haypold Jansen, is his of- ficlal name, given to him on his conversion to the Christian faith. AN OLD-TIME CRICKETER London, -- A one-time famous cricketer of Kent, Lord Harris, has just celebrated his 80th birthday. Just over 60 years ago, Lord Har- ris began his brilliant achieve ments as a batsman and flelder with Kent County. He was cap- tain of the county XI for 15 ypars, only vacating that office on his ap~ pointment as Governor of Bombay in 1889. On returning to Kngland in 18956 he resumed his connection with the Kent County Club, of which he is now chairman. Lord Harris captained Fugland against Australia on the occasion of the first real Test match--at the Oval in 1880,~and he also led England against Australia at Lord's and Oval in 1884. 'While his powerful influence has always been directed toward the welfare of the game, Lord Harrig's great work was the stand He made against unfair bowling in the early 's0s, when throwing obtained to a considerable extent in: first-class cricket, ' HOUSES ARE UGLY London. -- England's louses are needlessly ugly, especially | SPORT SNAPSHOTS They Have the Right Spirit It's great to see the spirit ot the Oshawa juniors in connection with their coming tussle with the West Toronto boys tomorrow night. Since they came home from Kingston, where they covered themselves with glory, they have taken the attitude that, having trimmed the Frantenacs on the series, they are ready for anything that Billy Hewitt likes to send agamnst them. They see the finals just a short lap ahead, and they are determined to give everything they have in the effort to get there. The team spirit of the boys is wonderful, and this should go a long way "towards carrying them past the West Toronto cracks, ' L » » * Not the Same Team The fact that West Toronto won the Junior O.H.A. championship a year ago does not mean anything, The team which accomplished that is gone, scattercd far and wide, and its members were seen in various hockey uniforms this year, A new organization had been built up and while it is a good one, competent observers declare that it is not in the same class as last year's team. This makes us more hopeful than ever that the Oshawa kids have it in them to go out and beat this Tor- onto crew, and if they can get the jump tomorrow night, and pick off a nice lead, then it is just possible that Oshawa will see an O.H.A. final this year. . » ¥ » * A Full House Likely So with all the possibilities that lie ahead, it looks like u full house at the Arena tomorrow night. It takes a lot of people, oi course, to fill the Hambly ice-palace, but the boys deserve a full house for once, The carliet apathy towards the juniors has been dispelled, and the boys are now given credit for their record, and that means support. So, while there will be plenty of seats available for the fans, it is hoped that they will all be taken, so that the players will have all the support they need. . . * . That Hoodoo Again It woud be interesting to figure out just' how many ganies the Pats, have lost by a single goal, or tied, after securing a first period lead. Last night, at Brantford, the Oshawa team was twice in the lead by ome goal, but failed to hold it, and had to be satisfied with a draw with the Stratford Nationals, One point is welcome, of course, but two would have been much better. . . * . . 4 A Hard Grind 2 By tonight the Pats. will feel that they can qualify {or the role of iron men. There are mighty few teams in any professional league that have been called upon to play three nights in a row, and when the Pats, come off the ice after tonight's game at Galt that is exactly what they will have done. It is a tough grind, and the Pats. deserve all kinds of credit for their gameness in tackling such a proposition, They may not be in the best shape for tonight's game after two hard ones on Monday night and last night, both of them going into overtime, but 'they will be in there fighting every minute to turn the trick against the Terriers and bring home two more points, . * . . Home Again on Friday : Then on Friday the Pats, will be home again and playing tie Catar- «acts from Niagara Falls on home ice. The Cataracts are well up with the leaders, but then, the race is so tight that the standing changes with nearly every game, and a victory for the Pats tonight and on Friday night will put them up among the real contestants for a playoff place. Friday night's game should be a good one, and if the fans can stand it after tomorrow's junior O.H.A. game, there should be a nice aggregation of fans to show the Pats. that the sporting folks of Osh- awa appreciate their gameness, * . . Quoit and Horseshoe Club Meeting A meeting of the General Motors Quoit and Horseshoe Club has been called by F. W. McBrien, president, for cight o'clock this evening in the Industrial Relations building on William street, This will be the annual meeting, and the club will reorganize for the year. Other im- portant business will also be brought before the meeting, and a full ate tendance is urged. * . * . Fifty Cents Seats on Sale at Mike's The Arena Management decided this morning to make 800 seats at fifty seats a throw available for tomorrow night's hockey game be- tween Oshawa Juniors and West Toronto. These seats are among the best in the Arena, and there will be a big rush for them. These seats are on sale now at Mike's Place, and fans are notified that it will be a case of first come, best served, so fans are urged to be there early to make sure of a good seat at fifty cents. * * * * One Minute's Silence Before the Game As a tribute of respect to the late Joe Welsh, one of the city's keen est hockey enthusiasts, one minute of silence will be observed prior to the facing of the puck at tomorrow night's game between Oshawa and West Toronto, The fans are asked to be prepared for this im- pressive tribute to one of the greatest friends of the game in Oshawa. 11 taken, Our taste in furniture has changed, and the things our grand- mothers thought beautiful we do not, No one has a good word to say for Victorian furniture. One of the functions of education is to train our taste to sce the good there is in almost anything." when compared with those in Hol- land, Dr. Cyril Alington, head- master of Kton College, told the Workers' Educational Association in an address recently.

Pats Playing at Galt Tonight, and at Home Friday Oshawa Pats, having secured a single point in last night's game at Brantford, have two more hard games to play this week, making it a hard grind of three games on three successive nights. This even- ing the boys will be in Galt, play- Ing the Terriers in an Ontario League game, and although they may be feeling the strain of their three games in a row, they are determined to take the measure of the Terriers right on their own ice, Just as they have done in the last two games they have played against Galt in Oshawa, On Friday night, the Pats will be back home again, with Niagara Falls providing the opposition, and if they succeed in winning in Galt tonight, and turning in an- other victory in Oshawa on Friday night, they will be well up in the league standing. The teams are still very closely bunched, and once the locals get over the hoodoo which seems to take hold of them once they get a one or two-goal lead, it will not be hard to jump Into a playoff position. DR. TEHYI HSIEH ILL Word has been received here of the {illness in Boston ,of Dr. Tehy! Hsieh, managing director of the Chinese Trade Bureau, and well known in Canada because of his frequent tours of this country. Dr. Hsieh has lectured in Oshawa and several towns in this vicinity in connection with the Chautauqua, and is well known to many citi- zens. Dr. Hsieh was contemplat- ing a tour of several cities in On- tario and Manitoba during the next two months, but has been compelled to cancel the trip. He has suffered two severe heart at- tacks. SQUIRREL SIGHTED Four local boys, Iergus and Gregory Brady, Maxwell St. Thomas, and Bert Jamieson saw a black squirrel in the woods near this city on Saturday, they told The Times today. This was the second occasion last week that squirrels have been seen sporting through the trees, apparently hav- ing left their winter hibernation in hope of an early spring, one of these little animals also having been reported in Memorial Park. Rush for Tickets at the Book- ing Office at Mike's Place This Morning Indicates Big Crowd of Supporter: Will Be on Hand Looks as if the Arena is going ts sce a real crowd tomorrow night, for the first time this season. The fang are all worked up over the Junior O, H.A. team, and its possibilities for winning a championship, and with West 'Loronto Juniors coming herq - to meet the Redshirts in the semi- final series, the winner of which has an even chance of going right into the finals for the O.H.A. junior titlc, they have good cause to be inoculated with something like hodzey enthu- siasmn, The local juniors have had . wonderful record all season, every bi as good as the West Toronto Kids, who, although their club won the jun for title last year, are by no means a strong as they were then. The fact that they come from Toronto doesn't mean a thing to the Oshawa boys, who have got the idea that "the big- ger they are, the harder they fall" and they are going out on the i with every intention of securing a big enough lead in the home game tu carry them through the round. This does not mean that the kids are over-confident or cocksure. They learned their lesson in that respect at Bowmanville, where: over-confidence caused them to be defeated for the first and only time this season, But they are ngt a bit afraid of reputa- tions, and while the West Toronto team is rated highly, the locals' feel that if they get going in their usual style, they will please the fans by turning in another victory. That the fans are keen on' this game was evident at Mike's Place when the ticket sale opened this morning, the demand being the yrecatest of the season, This means a tull house tomorrow night, and it will do the players good to have the vocal support of three or four thousand fans. It has now passed the stage of appealing to the fans to turn out to support the team. They will be there allright, and it looks as if for the first time this season, the managc- ment of the tcam is going to be able to get out of red figures in the led- ger. . So all roads will lead to the Arena tomorrow night. It should be a great game, one to keep the fans talking for weeks, and may the 'besg teau win.
