The 3-2 victory by London Streamliners over Niagara Falls, was of course a real surprise. The . Streamliners came through witha spirited display, under their new coach and the win over Bright's means that those of us who were beginnig to think that maybe London wouldn't survive the season, may now have to revise our ideas . .. In the other game, in Toronto, Marlboros edged Hamilton in a high-scoring affair. They whipped home 15 goals and twice as many points. were registered as Marlies handed. the Dofascos their second defeat in three nights. This puts the Dukes ahead of Oshawa now but at the same time, leaves the entire pack more closely bunched. Latest issue of figures from Bunny Morganson's flock of statistics, shows that Ebby Edmison still leads the Senior O.H.A. scoring race. That misconduct penalty in the opening game, when Ref. Bert Hodges got far too drastic with his sentence, has Doug. Maundrell right near the top in' the penalty list. * + OSHAWA CITY LEAGUE players both - Midget and Juvenile, are re- minded to watch for Friday's issue of The Times.

Usually, the ski enthusiasts have to wait until Christmas or New Years |, before they can get enough snow to enjoy their favorite sport but it ap- pears they are in for a great win- tér. "The result is that mail deliv- eries in certain sections of the city are a little earlier and there are fewer school children being kept in "after four." + + * "BUDDY" HELLYER, last year's right-winger with the Oshawa Gen- erals, hit the sportive limelight this morning. Buddy, who signed a contract with the Toronto Leafs, along with Nick Knott, and was farmed down to Pittsburgh Hornets for seasoning, has been playing re- gularly and making a very fine showing. Last night he hit a new peak, with three assists as the Hor- nets came from behind to wipe out 8 3-0 deficit and then in the over- time, Buddy capped it off by scoring the winning goal . . . Nick Knott, who was out for a while, having his tonsils removed, hasn't seen much action with the Hornets this year. * eve DOWN AT Atlanta, Georgia, the Brocklyn Dodgers are spending money like water, in search of dia- mond talent, to build up their team for the 1941 pennant race, Larry MacPhail has spent $300,000 al- ready, and they've sold Gus Man- cuso, a rookie hurler and a wad of cash for Mickey Owen, the young St. Louls catcher. They are seek- ing Debs Garms, the Pittsburgh outfielder and anyone else that will strengthen their club, * + SPEAKING of buying, Red Dut- ton has taken the trail through the American League, to see a few players in action there. He needs material to bolster his floundering Amerks, who, not too strong to start off, have been hagd hit by injuries and are now going no-place, in a elluva hurry. * 4 % ' REMEMBER?: George Vezina, one of heckey's all-time-great geal- keepers, was ordered to quit the game 15 years ago yesterday. De- spite a temperature of 102, the Canadien netminder played his last match on Nov. 28 and in the follow- ing week lost 30 pounds. He died in Chicoutimi, Que., March 28, 1926.

Race (By The Canadian Press) Take the National Hockey League race up until now and it has been Toronto Maple Leafs first and the rest nowhere. That was the description once given to a horse race gon by Man O' War and it seems EF way to describe the manner which the Leafs are running in front of their N.H.L. opposMion. Because the Leafs are fairly well out in front, and seem in no danger of being caught for some time, more than the usual amount of interest attaches to the battle going on for second place among Detroit Red Wings, Chicago Black Hawks and Boston Bruins. The Wings have the edge at pres- ent, with 12 points, while the Bruins are in third spot with 11 points and the Hawks in fourth position with 10. The Hawks, however, can jump into a tie with the Wings as the two clubs meet tonight Chicago in one of two schedulediigames. In the other Montreal fens take on New York Rangers Montreal. Rangers, Canadiens and New York Americans are also closely bunched, with only two points sep- arating the fifth place Rangers and the last place Canadiens. Cana- diens could gain a tie for the fifth spot, leaving Americans in the cel- lar, with a victory over Rangers. Manager Mervyn (Red) Dutton of the Americans is engaged at pres- ent in viewing the talent in the American Hockey League in the hope that he can bolster his squad, which has been riddled by injuries. Dutton's injured men are Johnny (Peanuts) O'Flaherty, Harvey Jack- son, Pete Slobodian and Squee Allen, ® LIKE FATHER--LIKE SON Melbourne (CP)--First father and son to have their "wings" in the Royal Australian Air Force are Flight-Lieutenant R.

A raw-boned right-winger from Montreal, Hellyer was signed by To- ronto after playing last yeariwith the Dominion Junior Champion, Oshawa Generals -- the team that Taylor starred with two seasons ago. Like Taylo# he was sent to the American League for experience and is more than holding his own. A timely goal by the young wing- er last night did much to tighten- ing up the' standings in both sec- tions of the American circuit. His fourth point of the game, it gave Pittsburgh Hornets a 5-4 overtime victory over the high-riding Spring- field Indians, The triumph--fourth straight for the Hornets--moved them to within two points of the idle Cleveland Barons, leading team !n the lea- gue"s western divisen.

Hamilton, Dec. 5.--Harvey Sproule | skipped his Toronto High Park rink to a 10-9 victory over C. G. Deit- rich of Galt in the final of the sen- iors' bonspiel which closed here last night after two days ot play. The | game, which saw the Toronto quar- tet one shot in front at the finich, | was just as close and interesting as the final count indicates and pro- | vided excellent curling on the part | of both rinks for the overflow gal- | lery. Going into the final end, Sproule enjoyed a lead of one shot, and Dietrich played draw shots with his last two "rocks" in an effort to dislodge Sproule's lone stone, which lodged in the centre of the "house." Twice he nicked the "shot" stone but was unable' to move it far | enough to give him the much- needed point and victory.
