Batten down the hatches, lock the doors, put away your silverware and keep your fingers crossed. Ernie, "Corn-Salve Pete" Ross is com- ing to town. * + * At this time of the year, our radio crooners give us that famous old ballad, "Sandy Claws is Coming to Town"--but here in the Motor City s "Ernie Ross is Coming Ernie is trainer for the Native Sons. He's acted in that capacity for several seasons now and while some of his buddies claim that his jodine-bandage-adhes- ive education was taught to him by "Bill" Ritchie (formerly of Jubilee Pavilion fame) --there are others who will admit (when Ernie isn't around) that he knows a thing or two about looking after youthful puck stars. * * b A fun-maker of the old school, Mr. Ross, as he is called on Sundays or in Brown's Sports Store, is what 4s generally known as "a card." Hair-raising experiences, the latest stories, gags and nonsense are all included in Ernie's repertoire. The newest in what the well-dressed man is wearing is still too late where Ernie is concerned. Jealous rivals at- tribute his popularity with the fans and fannies, to a combination of his natty attire and witty conversation. * + 4 We have to write wu column about something or somebody and today semed as good a day as any to tell about Ernie Ross, trainer of the Native Sons jun- for hockey team. The Native Sons have been in and around the O.H.A. Junior group for sev- eral seasons now and here in Oshawa they are highly regard- ed as a group of real sportsmen. Under the guiding hands of Coach George Parsons, a former Toronto Leaf; Manager Jack Reid and Trainer Ernie Ross, the Native Sons go rolling along in fine style. These men have been largely responsible for the operation and sporting success of the team. * +» One of the less-favored clubs in Toronto, they do not receive the benefits of classy imports as do Marlboros. Maybe that is one of the reasons their relations with the Oshawa Generals have always been friendly and almost entirely Ir from petty squabbling. Even our ol friend Ed. Wildey tangles with the Motor City puck men every once in & while. * + This year the Native Sons have a stronger team than they have had for some time. They made a real showing against Guelph Biltmores in their open- ing game and they are out to improve that display, here in Oshawa tonight. * + + Glover is their ace player, while . Shropshire, Hood, Doyle, McLeodd, Scandrett and the Quackenbush brothers are others who "carry the mail" for Native Sons. Not a team of stars but a good club with plenty of team-spirit, the players admire and obey their board of manage- ment. * % » Suffering a bad limp from an injury sustained in the exhibi- tion game out in Peterboro the other night, Roy Sawyer may be absent from tonight's line-up. The rest of the "Generals" are fit and rarin' to get started on their 1940-41 schedule. Despite the press of "Christmas shop- ping," it is expected a large erowd will attend tonight's op- ening game here, to watch the Oshawa Juniors start the de- fense of the Memorial Cup. * + % Tonight the GM-Men visit Mamil- in fine fettle for [ILTINAN'S "SHOE SHOP their big game on Monday night. Eddie Powers leads his Toronto Marlboros here Mon- day night. Jimmie Drummond, George MacNamara, Shamlock, Johnny Inglis and the one and only Mortimer in goal, there's an array of puck talent that promises plenty of action. * * At present, the Marlboros have the best "away" record of any team in the group. They haven't lost a game away from home this season. Coach Tracy Shaw and his boys are anxious to bust that record here Monday night--especially, since the Marlies were the only team to win in Oshawa in the first part of the schedule, * +P Monday night's game should be one of the best of the year. * + 9 Parkwood Stables set the pace for Canadian-bred horses this year. The Oshawa horses made an enviable record during 1940 and incidentally, brought joy te the hearts of many of the local "followers." * 4% 9 In the N.HL. games last night, New York Rangers came back to life and defeated Boston Bruins but Bill Cowley once again set the scor- ing pace to maintain his lead in the N.H.L. race . . .

Baseha ibes > - a To Honor Bob Quinn New York, Dec. 20.--Bob Quinn, 70-year-old president of Boston Bees and one of the beloved patri- archs of baseball, will be honored this winter by the New York base- ball writers with their 11th annual award for the person making the finest contribution to the sport over a long period of years. The award, announced yesterday, will be made to the vetran at the annual dinner of the chapter, Feb. 2. Quinn's contribution to baseball has been a merry as well as a valu- able one since he began his career managing the Columbus Club. at the ti of the century. He Likes "Goofy Business" "Baseball really is a goofy busi- ness, but I like it," he once was quo as saying. "It's been keep- ing young for years." Q was at Columbus for 17 years before the late Phil Ball br: him up into the big lea- g as vice-president and general of St. Louis Browns. e during his long, stormy tch in that job Ball complained a friend: "That Irishman has never agreed with me on anything yet." When Ball offered Quinn the job he wrote: "I'm holding it myself at present, and it seems to be mainly bunk and bluff." To which Quinn replied starchily: "In my long baseball experience I've never had a job of bunk and bluff. I claim no qualification for such a job. I'm not the man you want." Ball composed another letter, HEADS CURLING CLUB Lindsay, Dec. 20--H. J. Lytle, Jr. has been elected president of the newly organized curling club at Oakwood, a small village on High- way No. 7, eight miles from here. The club, which comprises some fif- ty members, will open Wednesday, when Lindsay curlers will play a friendly game. Over half of the membership is composed of farmers, some of whom will drive eight miles to play a game, Other officers elected were: Vice-president, J. B. McGibbon; chaplain, Rev. F. R. Vanderberg; treasurer, Frank Fef- guson; secretary, W. E. Weldon. * {ford's football team to an unde- R. S. McLaughlin's Parkwood Stables Earn $68,100 in "40 After long and continued support to thoroughbred breeding, R. 8. McLaughlin, of Oshawa, headed the breeders in the Dominion for the first time during 1940. Thirty-one horses raised at his Oshawa farm accounted for 80 races. A total of $68,100 was earned by the Mec- Laughlin bred horses. The importance of the automo- bile magnate's efforts in the breed- ing line can easily be seen by the fact that he provided the leading three-year-old, Hood, and also the top juvenile of 1940 in Warrigan. It was the winnings of these good Canadian breds that enabled Mr. McLaughlin to top the 1939 leader, R. James Speers of Winnipeg. Mr. Speers' Whittier Park Stock Farm raised the winners of 116 races comprising 45 different win- ning horses. During the year, horses bred by Mr. Speers earned a total, of $55970. It will be noted that in both the number of races and in the number of winning horses Speers is far in advance of the other breeders. He is still leading breeder for the last ten years. . H. C. Hatch of Toronto came in- to third place after being fourth | the previous year. His farm provid- ed the winners of 50 races with 20 winning horses and earnings of $36,850. Harry Giddins, of Oakville, had only eight winning horses during the season, but they won a total of 23 races, with earnings of $22,145.

Canadian Senior Cage Finals Awarded West Montreal, Dec. 20. -- Canadian senior basketball five-game finals will be played in Western Canada starting April 23, it was announced last night by Roy Mackenzie, secs retary of the Canadian Amateur Basketball Association. The winner of the New Bruns wick-Nova Scotia series will meet winner of the Quebec-Ottawa series in a two-game series April 12 and 14, the winner to meet Ontario April 16, 17 and 19. In the intermediate section the Ottawa-Quebec series is to be com- pleted by April 19 and the Nova Scotia-New Brunswick series by April 26, the same date as a win- |; ner of the Ottawa-Quebsc-Ontario series is declared. Section winners will meet in the Eastern Canadian final, the series to be completed by LEW JENKINS, FRITZIE ZIVIC FIGHT TONIGHT (By GAYLE TALBOT) Associated Press Sports Writer New York, Dec. 20--(AP)--Prize- fighting is a funny business, as wit- fess tonight's 10-rounder at the Garden between Lew Jenkins, the ! lightweight champion, and Pritzie Zivic, the welterweight boss. On their recent records, there is no good reason to suppose that they are anywhere near evenly matched. Zivic figures to be a shoo-in. Yet the heavy advance sale indicates that the Garden will be filled to its distant eaves, and at a nice in- crease in prices, too. The only way to account for it is Jenkins' punch, the established fact that the skinny, hollow-eyed little guy from Sweetwater can knock the ears off anybody he can hit right, up to heavyweights. There is a quick comparison be- tween Jenkins and Zivic, as both the last year. Henry, then welter- weight champion, gave Jenkins a cruel beating in their outdoor meet- ing and forced Lew to quit between the sixth and seventh rounds, Zivic only a few months later beat Arm- strong in a furious battle at the Garden to win the 147-pound title. If anything was learned about Jenkins jn his bout with Armstrong, it was that he was too light and too fragile to fool with welterweights. Armstrong tore his middle apart. Yet tonight Lew will be giving away some 10 pounds again, and it is doubtful that Zivic will neglect the thin man's middle. Also, Armstrong made it plain that Jenkins, though a sharp, spec tacular hitter, was not so hot when faced with a moving target. About the best he did in six rounds was glance a few off the little negro's jaw, and in Zivic tonight he will be up against another shifty vet- eran who gets about and protects himself at all times. The match was brought on by Jenkins' quick knockout of Pete Lello a few weeks ago. The first left that exploded on Lello's chin knocked him flat, and the crowd went wild at the savage fury with which Lou finished him off. Pro- moter Mike Jacobs heard the yell- ing, and he knew he wanted Jen- king back in the Garden ring before Christmas, Zivic happened to be the handiest opponent within Lew's weight range. He snapped it up. The two should provide a fast, interesting fight, with Zivie sharp- shooting his grim little rival ana piling up points while Jenkins trails him and tries to slay him with & punch. Thé odds at last ac- count were 5 to 8 on Zivic, the gamblers obviously satisfied that the Pittsburgh veteran will be able to evade Lew and pepper him enough to win a decision. Neither title is at stake, so what- ever happens Zivic still will be the welter champion when he fights Armstrong again on Jan. 17. It wouldn't help that bout much, | 2--Yourlg Rangers, Simpson . have fought Henry Armstrong in | GUELPH JRS. WIN AT HOME OVER. RANGERS Guelph, Dec. 20. -- Playing on sticky ice in the first game of the season here, the Guelph Biltmores defeated Toronto Young Rangers, 4-2, in' an O.H.A, Big Five Junior "A" group game last night. The game was a tough struggle all the way, as both clubs fought hard to overcome the natural han- dicap of slow ice. For the winners Holota and Licari showed plenty of class, this pair figuring in all the goals, Licari bagged three goals and assisted in another. Holota scored one and got three assists, For the losers Simpson and Akery were the marksmen. Rangers did not flash the same combination ability of the winners, but what they lacked in this respect they made up for in ruggedness, and their defense was tough for the Guelph club to solve. It wasn't until late in the last perio that the home club clinched the verdict, and in the closing minutes had to stand off a determined offensive by Ed. Wildey's crew.

WINTER = 3 UGURAL AT TROPICAL TODAY Miami, Fla, Dec. 20.--Filorida's winter horse-racing season--a sure bet for:succéss in the opinion of trackmen--will get under way to- day, when the thoroughbreds flash from the starting gate at Tropical Park. Every sign points to the best sea- son the sport has enjoyed here. at Port Port Native Sons Tonight and Dukes on Mon. The many ardent followers of Junior hockey in Oshawa and dis- trict will get their first chance, of the current season, to "whoop it up" in support of their Dominion cham- pions, the "Generals" when the locals open the Junior OH.A. season here to-night. The locals will start the defense of their O.H.A. and Memorial Cup trophies when they face Toronto 'Native Sons down at Hambly's Arena this evening. Be- sides their brief appearance in the SP.A. series, the "Generals" have played several exhibition games al- ready this fall with varied degrees of success, but have showed im- provement every time out. To-night, however, with the real serious con- tention between the five teams of the Junior "A" group commencing, the boys will be going all out in an effort to get away to a good start with 2 points in the win column. Native Sons, under the expert guid- ance of ex-Toronto Leaf Geo. Par- sons, are a well-balanced club, stronger than other years, who will give the Generals plenty of opposi- tion. On Monday night next Toronto Marlboros will make their second visit of the season to the home-ice of Oshawa's GM-Men. This shapes up as one of the best senior games of the year with each team having won a game from the other already this season. The GM-Men lost their first home game to the Dukes when they opened the senior season here in November but retaliated by trimming their Toronto rivals in Maple Leaf Gardens soon after- ward. The "Dukes" will be out to win the "rubber" game _here on Monday and since the two clubs are closely matched the game should be a standout senior tilt. The Marlies, incidently, are the only team in the senior league that the locals have not beaten here on their home ice and the GM-Men are determined to remove the only blot on their record MEMBERS OF SHINNY CLUB TO SEE O.H.A, SENIOR TILT Toronto, Dec. 20. -- The 1,800 members of Controller Fred Hamil- ton's Shinny Club are reminded that they will be the guests of Ma- ple Leaf Gardens for tonight's O.
