Although Oshawa opened the scoring rather late in the first period, the Redding clan took the lead before the period was ended and from that moment on, with the exception of the time Leo Lamou- eux, husky Hamilton rearguards- man, spent in the penalty box at "1e start of the third session, the Mamilton sextet was never in any peal danger. Oshawa Gets First Thompson opened the scoring for the visitors after nearly 13 minutes of play in the furicusly fast first period. Dick Groom evened the count on a pass from Woodward two minutes later and Shillington shoved the Hamilton team into the lead a moment or so later on a beautiful relay from bespectacled Doug Fritz. At the start of the second period a flurry occurred around the Gen- 'erals' goal and McQueston fell to the ice as a Hamilton player scooped the puck toward the goal. Bdmison stopped it with his glove and Hamilton was awarded a pen- alty shot. Leo Lamoureux took the shot and McQueston barely saw the rubber as it hurtled past his right pad into the twine, Mec- Queston had a lift a minute later when Minny Miocinovich missed the open net. Brady's goal from a Fritz pass midway through this second period was a classic of mechanical hockey and drew a terrific burst of ap- hue from the fairly small crowd tb. Barnes Shows Speed The cnly other spectacular goal was the marker scored by Barnes on a solo rush between the Hamil- ton defensemen, a goal that fol- lowed one of the fastest pieces of skating seen here in many a week The period ended 5-3 in favor of the Hamilton squad, and that was the way the game ended. There was no scoring in the last frame, although the General gave Jack Eley many an anxious moment in the Hamilton goal, particularly dur- ing the penalty imposéd on Lamou- reux.

HAWKS TRIUMPH IN OVERTIME, 3-1 OVER RANGERS Chicago, Dec, 23. -- A two-goal rally in the overtime period gave Chicago Black Hawks a 3-1 victory over New York Rangers here last night. The Hawks, battling to maintain their third-place tie with Boston in the National Hockey League, tied the score in the third period and then outplayed the S:anley Cup champions in the extra stanza. George Allen, assisted by Mush March and Bill Care, scored what proved to be the winning goal in the fourth minute of the overtime. Then to clinch the decision, March scored on a long shot. After a scoreless first period, the Rangers, seeking their third straight victory, scored in the sec- ond on Neil Colville's goal, The Hawks evened the count in the next session when Max Bentley got a shot past Kerr after taking passes from Earl Seibert and Doug Bent- ley. MARLBOROS "EDGE LONDON Toronto, Der. 23. 23. -- Marlboros picked up their Christmas present at the Gardens on Friday night, a 3-1 victory over London Stream- liners that assured the Dukes of first place in the O.H.A, senior race until Christmas Day, at least. Two of the three goals the in- jury-riddled Toronto team collected were of the gift variety. But despite this phase of proceedings the Iron Men were full value for their suc- cess, They had three regulars, Mur- ray Ezeard, George Imlach and Alex Davidson, on the through various ailments, but the remnants, bolstered by a trio of rookies, had enough moxie to out- | battle the scrappy Chirpers, King Scores Pair Eddie King {lipped two of Marlboro goals. His first neat effort in collaboration Johnny Inglis and Eddie Shamlock and gave the Dukes the lead after 16:32 of the first period. Illo Mar- zo's goal on a play with Allan and Galbraith levelled the count soon after, but King came back to break the deadlock with the only goal of the middle session. It was a hand- out from the London defense, King stealing the puck from the unsus- pecting rearguards and cruising in to beat Goalie Radiff handily. The final Marlboro goal was credited to Inglis when Galbraith threw his stick as Oh-Johnny-Oh was breez- ing in on the London goal on a breakaway in the first minute of the third period. The Streamliners provided rugged opposition for two periods, but toss ed away whatever hopes of victory they entertained by incurring fool- ish penalties in the final period. Arguments with Referee Johnny Jones availed the London players nothing. Hank D'Amore protested a minor sentence so vehemently that he drew a ten-minute miscon- duct and then a match penalty. Smack Allen procured a ten-minute misconduct for a similar offense shortly after. CY DENNENY BEREAVED Cornwall, Dec, 23 -- Mrs. Alexan- der St. Thomas, mother of the four Denneny brothers -- Cyril, Allan, Corbett and John F.--prominent in Canadian hockey and lacrosse cir- cles, died in hospital here Friday.

"But I expect to be disappointed again," he remarked wrly. "It's the pitching," he explained. "It's taking longer than I thought to develop good pitchers. Other wise I'm satisfied with my team ejcept at shortstop." bi Mr. Mack, long an idol to thous- | ands of youngsters and grown-up | fans throug hout the country, will be honored at a traditional birthday {luncheon given by the Philadelphia Baseball Writers. He will be presented with a gold lifetime pass from the Baseball Association of America. | Only four persons have been so { honored, President' Franklin D. | Roosevelt, Judge Kenesaw Landis, { baseball's high commissioner, 'Ford | Prick, president of the National | League and William Harrdige. pre= sident of the American League.

"I'm going to last can," he declared | "Sometimes," he said, "the boys |have put words in my mouth, that |T will retire after winning another championship or when I reach 80, but I'm never going to retire."

The weather seemed to hamper Gon- zalez, a 32-year-old former caddy, more than it did Snead. The Ou- ban not only was considerably out- driven by the Canadian open cham- pion, but he putted erratically at times, SAINTS SCALP PORT COLBORNE St. Catharines, Dec. 23 -- St Catharines Saints registered their third consecutive victory in the O.HA. senior ranks here on Friday night, adding the scalps of Port Colborne Sailors to those of Ham- ilton and Toronto, when they de- feated the Canal Tars, 4 to 1 Walt Coupland missed his initial shutout by less than two minutes, when an intercepted pass out in front of his citadel = enabled La Roche to tip a pass to Jimmy Me- Kelvie in a scramble that saw Coupland prone on the ice. Saints reclaimed that goal with but fif- teen seconds to go when Hastie | combined with Rossini to beat Leo | | Sargent. It was a game marked by more rugged checking than brilliant hoc- key. The Initial period was enough, but hostilities flared from the start of the second and seven were paraded in order to the pen- alty bench. brisk | The Summary McKay, Hamil- Referee, ton.

Open 1940-41 Schedule | With Victory Over Native Sons Motor City Lads Dothiiatel Play for Two Periods and Then Fade Badly in Last Period "Generals" Show "Hot and Cold" and Small Crowd is Not Impressed Oshawa Generals opened up their 1940-41 schedule on their home ice Friday night by defeating Native Scns 8-6. Perhaps the be thankful game came "Generals" should that their opening so close to the season for there no dcubt that this was the a very low attend- ance and at the same time, it meant less disappcinted people. Spotty Display The Generals won the game and was 1actually, their margin in play was [far WITH U.S. AIR FORCE | greater than the fairly close re would indicate. In the first wo periods, the speedy homesters outplayed the Native {Sons at every turn but in the final canto, the Sons snapped into life, {played the hcmesters off their feet and completely disorganized them, The game was spotty. Oshawa flashed all kinds of individual | power, individual players stood out with displays of real hockey class but glaring weaknesses were just as obvious. Roy Sawyer sparked the starting made the play for Ron Wil tally in the first period and' how handing og fl ashe ES wn In the second stanza, when Oshawa boosted their lead to 7-3, Conacher passed out across the front of the. net and Frankie Eddolls was right on hand to quickly steer the puck into the net and five minutes later, again Conacher and Ren Wilson combined. Conacher made the play for Oshawas last goal, by Neilson, in the third. Disastrous Third Oshawa held a 5-1 lead in the first and 7-2 at the end of the second. Dunster, Bddolls and Nel- son were the three others who got into the scoring records, along with Sawyer, McAtee, R. Wilson snd Conacher. Other than a couple of brilliant rushes by Rooke, this about covers Oshawa's bright spots. The third period was disastrous and Native Sons, outscoring the Generals by four to one, might easily have tied the score in the last frame, Eddie and Bill Quack- inbush, together with Glover, Gil- christ and Gibbons were the "mail carriers" for the Sons. Defensively, the Native Sons were worse than Oshawa and that means they were ° terrible. Oshawa's rearguard division was wide-open and guilty of numerous wrong moves in the final frame while Hainsworth, in the nets, failed to impress, The teams: NATIVE SONS: goal, Sorenson; defense, - Shropshire and Doyle; trio and he and Nermie McAtee, | centre, Scott; wings; Gilchrist and | who is at his new post on goals in the initial stanza. cginning to show definite | Glover; alts, Munger, B.
