Top Berth is "Blue Devils" Nemed Canada's Team of Year Uncertain Spot 'Boxing Day" Bonspiel PORT SNAPSHOT Geo. Campbell, Sports Editor The various sport writers of 'Canada have voted that the Kirkland Lake "Blue Devils" was Canada's outstanding sport team in 1940 and that the vic- tory of Willie the Kid, in the King's Plate this year, was the greatest thrill of 1940. Of course, all the sport writers in Canada didn't get a chance to see Oshawa "Generals" in ac- tion.

TAA: REDUCED FARES! FARE AND A QUARTER Ld Suchet: a CANADIAN Nobody Gets Lonesome in Sr. 0.H.A. Race | little Debs Garms of ~ Pittsburgh London, Ont, Dec. 27 (CP)-- Leaders of the Senior "A" series ir the Ontario Hockey Association sel- dom have time to get lonesome at the top of the standings, this sea- son. No one club stays in the same position, or alone, for long. Just Christmas night Niagara Falls Brights climbed into first place and last night they were joined by Hamilton Dofascos who swamped London Streamliners here 8-1 with the aid of a brilliant four-goal per- formance by Clarence Shillington. Archie Woodward, Dillon Brady, Doug Fritz and Leo Lamoureux got one goal each to add to Shilling- ton's four, while Bill Legg scored the only London tally. The result left Toronto Marlboros and St. Catharines tied in third place, one point behind Brights and Dofascos. Oshawa "GM-Men" are in fifth place, four points out of first, Port Colborne and London trail in that order. Debs Garms Named N.L's Top Hitter By HUDSON BAILEY Associated Press Sports Writer New York, Dec. 27. (AP)--The disputed batting championship of the National Baseball League be- came the irrefutable property of Pirates today upon announcement of the official averages for 1940. The dark Texan reeled off a .355 figure for 358 times at bat in 103 | games. His average was the highest in the senior circuit in three years, and | there wasn't any question about its legitimacy. The controversy: that raged on the close of the season over the batting leader centred solely on the fact he had gone to bat less than | 400 times, the figure which for | years had been considered the mini- | mum qualification for the cham- plonship in both major leagues. On this basis, the title wculd| have gone to Stanley Hack, the veteran third baseman of Chicago | Cubs, who batted 317 in 603 times at bat in 149 games. 1940 campaign it was discovered | that while the American League had a rule providing for the desiz- year on the basis of 400 times at! bat, the National League had no | rule of any kind, and its Baiting cial. A league spokesman sald then | | that the player who participated in | more than 100 games and topped the list of official averages com- piled by the Elias Baseball Bureau would ascend automatically to the throne. Garms did that. He was a utility man for the Pirates, playing the outfield and third base and serving as a lefthanded pinchhitter. He never was a regular. But he got into more than 100 games and led the hitters, so the batting cham- plonship is his as far as the Na- tional League is concerned. Three Between Three other batters ig between Garms and Hack in the rankings. went to the plate 285 times to get! an average of .326. Ernie Lombardi of Cincinfiati Reds, hurt at the end of the season, batted .319 for 376 times in 109 games, and John Coo- ney of Boston Bees had .318 for 365 at bats in 108 games. Based on appearance in 100 or more games, the 10 leaders were Garms, Lombardi, Cooney, Hack, John Mize of St. Louis, the 1939 champion, 314; Jim Gleeson, Chi- cago, .313; Frank McCormick, Cin- cinnati, .309; Fred (Dixie) Walker, Brooklyn, .308; Enos Slaughter, St. Louis, .306; and Carvel Rowell, Bos- ton, .305, Hack and McCormick tied for the most "hits, 191, making the third straight year that the husky Cin- cinnati first baseman had totalled the most base hits. He also went to bat the most times, 618, and made the most two-base hits, 44. Most In Bases Mize captured the lead in total! bases for the third consecutive year with 368, getting 43 home runs, 31 doubles and 13 triples, It was the second straight year the slugger had led in home runs and, by twice hit- ting three in one game during the season, he became the first Na- tional League player in history to perform this feat four times during his career, Burgess Whitehead of New York had the most singles, 141, and | Floyd (Arky) Vaughan of Pitts- | purgh had the most triples, 15, and | scored the most runs, 113, ' .

Treasurer Ralph Schofield pre- sented a report of the season's fin- ancial status, which showed that an expenditure of $875.00 would be made, the major item of expense this year being the erection of the floodlights. Estimated receipts will nearly cover this total, and by using part of the previous season's sur- plus, it is estimated that a small surplus will result from the pre- sent season. 4 MORE OUT AS HAMILTON SRS. WHIP LONDON London, Ont., Dec. 27.--Hamilton Dofascos scored an easy triumph over London Streamliners in a sen- for "A" OH.A. fixture, piling up eight goals, while the Londoners counted only once.

CLEVELAND ALL SET FOR 1941 RACE Cleveland, Dec. 27 (AP)--Cleve- land Indians are practically lined up for the 1941 baseball pennant race, in the opinion of Vice-Pres- ident ©. ©. Slapnicka. "I guess we'll go to bat with what we have," he sald in the wake of the Major Leagues' two biggest post-season shuffles. "We still would like to get an es- tablished pitcher "but everyone has his established pitchers locked up in the office safe, "We would like to get such a fel- low as Vern Kennedy but we couldn't tempt the St. Louis Browns with anything we could afford to give up." However, Slapnicka was greatly pleased with the deals he has put over. The latest brought Joe Krak- auskas, Montreal-born Lithuanian lefthander from Washington in trade for outfielder Ben Chapman. "We know nobody could have tak- en Krakauskas from Washington two years ago for love nor money," Slapnicka allowed. "We don't think he has lost all his prospects despite his decline due to wildness. = "I have it from a Washington player that everyone connected with the ball club there had a hand in trying to change his pitching stvle. I think if we let him go back to i's own way with Luke Sewell and Earl Whitehill and Roger Peckinpaugh to help, we may make something out Not a Single Oshawa Rink Finishes "In the Money" as Thirty-Two Rinks Compete for Handsome Prizes -- EXTRA ENDS ARE NEEDED AT FINISH R. Downey, of Peterboro and Dr. Walkey of Ham- ilton Victorias, Win Firsts --Other Prizes Go To Toronto, Lindsay, Peter- boro and Cobourg By GEO. H. CAMPBELL (Sports Editor) Although it was the first bonspiel of the local 1940-41 season, the "Boxing Day" ' invitation event staged at the Oshawa Curling Club yesterday produced some of the keenest competition witnessed "at the local stone and broom palace in many seasons. It proved to be "Visitors' Day" for all of the seven sets of hand- some prizes, which included relish dishes, water pitchers, toasters, carving sets, electric pads and shirts, were captured by "outsid- ers." Not a single Oshawa entry was able to come down "in the money." Peterboro sent three en- tries to the bonspiel and all three finished in the prize list. Other winning rinks came from Toronto (High Park Club), Lindsay, Co- bourg and Hamilton Victorias. Extra-End Finishes Competition was especially. keen in the second section (11:00 o'clock draw) and in the final two games extra ends were required in two cases to decide prize winners. Harvéy Sproule's strong Toronto High Park rink finished tied with J. Sedgewick of Peterboro in their the score with his last stone, In the extra end, Sproule placed his last stone within inches of, the but- gon but then Sedgewick, who had the last stone of the game, drew brilliantly through a narrow gapito just touch the button and win the decision. That one shot put Sproule's rink right out in the also- ran class, and gave Sedgewick a score of four for three wins to take second prize. First prizes were won the Hamilton Victorias rink (with 11 for three wins) skip- ped by Dr. Walkey. Walkey tied the score with a 4-end against Earl Green of Toronto High Park and then won out in the extra end. R. Best's Peterboro rink took the third prizes in this section, with a score of 19 for two wins while Judge L. V. O'Connor of Cobourg had the best one-win score of the day. In the 9:00 o'clock draw, R. Downey's Peterboro rink won first place with three wins for a score of 15 while Rev. W. Smith of High Park, Toronto Club, won second with three wins for a score of 12. W. Langdon's Lindsay quartet took third in this section with a 14 score for two wins. Downey de- feated Langdon in the third game while Rev. Smith defeated the Brampton rink skipped by W. Another Coming Up W. J. Brownlee, convener of the successful bonspiel held yesterday, announced that the Oshawa Curl- ing Club will hold another bons- plel on January 15. Two interested spectators at the 'splel yesterday were two young men at present enrolled in courses at the University of Toronto, John DeFasse, who though a Belgian by birth, halls from Buenos Aires, Argentina, and Maurice Schwar- man, recently arrived in Canada and formerly of Alsace-Lorraine.
