THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE * SATURDAY, OCTOBER. 19, 1946 By Geo. H. Campbell PORT NAPSHOTS Looking over the Province, we find lots of interesting hockey chatter these days, some of which is of real interest to Local Junior "A fans. For instance, Bd. Wildey's Young Rangers are reported to stronger this season than for several years and on their roster, is one Wally Samanski of Whitby, with the Oshawa Generals two seasons ago and last year with Barrie for a brief stay. Young Rangers are playing an exhibition game down in Kingston tonight and incidentally, the Kingston hockey men are expecting to tender an invitation to the Oshawa Generals, before the season progresses much further down the {iene FY] ; § asked the Q.A.H.A, to have the old heave-ho" . .. , Don Barrett, a unior "A" hockey this winter... . .

Ranks By JACK SULLIVAN is wearing thin, especially for the champions, and the British Ama- teur Boxing Association, noting the Pp to professional ranks of four : hb It hopes this idea of fight- or money is a "passin e- wpe? ph nt of both boxer and the Association is understandable. The fighters just can't afford to give and take bashings for the fun and excitement, the glow of being fit and the pure joy of combat--and the Association is thinking of Bri- tain's part in International contests * and the 1948 Olympic Games, Professional "scouts" attended the ABA, championships at Wembley Randolph Turpin, 19-year- colored middleweight who has the punch of a heavyweight, joined the earn-as-you-fight brigade. He was followed by Charlie Squires, bantamweight king, just out of the RAF. None of these fighters could af- ford to fight for fun. Squires, for instance, has a wife and child, and he wants a house, The only way he feels he can get it is with his ts Boxing, like other sports in the country, is in the midst of a tre- mendous boom and the scrappers probably hope to catch on to Pro- moter Jack Solomons whose latest idea in professional boxing is in- ternational team matches. Solomons, already promoting in London, Dublin, Paris and Stock- holm, is Brussels to his list with tentative plans to take four or five of the country's top boxers to Belgium in November and later to have the best of the Belgians in London. Any one of these might hit the jack-pot if given the chance. Meanwhile, the AB.A. hopes to pluck worthy representatives from the estimated 1,000,000 boys attach- ed to 3,000 clubs across the country, YORKSHIRE SQUATTERS South Elmshall, Yorkshire, Eng- land--(OP)--First squatters here were Mr, and Mrs. Keith Wood and their 18-month-old daughter who moved into Upton Hall, 20-roomed 300-year-old mansion, RUGBY BOYS ARE NOW HE DED FOR HOME STRETCH Here's The Way It Looks Now In Grid Races By The Canadian P-ess « In addition to the spectacle of suspense that every closely-contes- ted football match affords, each of Canada's four senior leagues has a little extra to offer its adherents in this nine-game week-end that finds clashes getting down to the crucial stage. Here are the highlights: 1. In the Western Canada Sen- Union, where the battle for the dour t-season playoff spots is at white heat. 3. In the Intercollegiate Union, University of Western Ontario can complete their first round of the circuit completely victorious by beating McGill's Redmen, 4. In the Interprovincial Union, the Dominion Champion Toronto Argonauts face a "make or break" week-end in which they can em- or forced to share the berth with either Ottawa Rough Riders or Montreal Alouettes. Although the loss last Saturday in Montreal was Argos' first of the season, coach Ted Morris expressed himself as "plenty worried" it may have signified the start of a "slump." With two ties blotting their record and their remaining games all with either Rough Riders lor Alouettes, the champions need to increase their present 12 points to be assured of a play-off spot. In the ORF.U, the Indians also will be worrying about holding sole possession of first place as well as their unbeaten record when they meet the third-place Sarnia Im- perials at Toronto today. Two points behind, Hamilton Wildcats meanwhile have what they consider a soft touch in their home stand against the fifth-place Windsor Rockets. The third ORF.U. 'match pits Toronto Balmy Beach, tied for third with Sarnia, against the pointless Trojans at Ottawa. Western are at home in London, when they seek their third straight infercollegiate victory against Mc- Gill, The Redmen are tied for sec- ond place, one victory and a loss aplece, with University of Toronto, who meanwhile meet the winless Queen's team at Kingston, Lew Hayman's Alouettes Win 19-00'er Tigers Hamilton, Oct. 19--(CP)--Pointed toward what may well be a garrison finish, Montreal's Alouettes rode alone today in second place in the Interprovincial Rugby Football Un- jon with an excellent chance, on their late season form, of overtak- ing the leader in the stretch. A smashing 19-0 victory over Hamilton Tigers on a muddy grid- iron last night shot Lew Hayman's team two points ahead of Ottawa Rough Riders. The shock troops as Alouettes pounded the Tigers were Virgil Wagner, John Moody and Wally Spencer, with Wagner the gold- dust man, The speedy half scored two touchdowns, racing 65 yards after four plays in the opening quarter for one of them and passed to Maitland for the third major. Ches McOance, the former Win- nipeg Blue Bomber, showed perfect placement form in converting all three, and Moody kicked the other point on a rouge. y Australia's New Wonder Horse Is Melbourne, Oct. 19.--(CP)--The streak of Berns- borough, Australia's latest "won- der horse, came to an end today when Royal Gen, a 33-1 outsider, won the classic Caulfield Cup. Carrying top weight of 160 pounds --20 more than any other starter-- the big seven-year-old bay finished fifth, He made a great finish in the stretch of the 1%-mile route, the Sydney "proved again that no matter how great a horse might be, weight would beat him."

Inter-Oshawa Cadet League (By ERNEST WHITING There was no meeting of the Cadet League this week, due to the party given at the Armouries for the Army Cadet basketball and hockey teams, Jack McQuigan of Sea Cadets and Jack Osler, also of Sea Cadets, gave the gathering a brief outline of what their Corps was doing in sports and what they intend to do. Art Griffith and Cregg Boyle rep~ resented Air Cadets and carried out pretty much the same job. Presents Medal Jack McQuigan, Chairman of the Cadet League presented the first award ever to be given to a cadet jointly by all three Cadet Corps. The medal was presented to Cadet H. McClelland for being "the most valuable player to his team." Sports Outlook Improving The sports outlook is improving although the situation is still seri- ous. Floor space is still one of the big problems but it is hoped the "Army Cadets" will help the League out. The Army Cadets "Sports 1 Committee" will not say anything until after next Friday however, 'The hockey picture, however, is a lot better with three teams already Practising, It now looks like hockey Sotng to get started before bas- ket : Here and There The Army Cadet baseball team played the entire ball season with- out a defeat--wish they could do it in hockey.

In some areas the season is well under way but elsewhere it has not yet opened, A Canadian Press survey revealed that hunting has started in New Brunswick, in sections of Quebec and Manitoba and in North-West~ ern Ontario. Most Maritimes hunt- ers are getting their quota of two deer and few accidents hase been reported so far. Reports of two accidents, one serious, came this week from the Kenora area of northwestern' On- tario. Dr, E. E. Symmons, 58, of Memphis, Mo., was critically' shot in the lower part of the body by another member of his party and an unidentified hunter from Indiana | shot: himself in the right arm as he lifted a rifle irom a boat. In the Quebec district, in¢luding | Co! the lower shores of the St. Lawr- ence River, deer hunting started Sept. 18 and ends Nov. 15. The Montreal area season runs from Sept. '256 -to Nov. 22. Game is re- ported scarce in both sections and rumors are current that the Quebec Legislature may take steps at the next session to curtail hunting. The season in the Kenora area opened Sept. 15 and in the Thunder Bay and Rainy River districts Oct. FITTINGS LTD. OFFICE LEAGUE .

Peter A, Tyrell, general manager of the Philadelphia Arena which owns and operates the Rockets, recommended the suspension which he sald was approved by the Am- erican Hockey League. The action will put the two hoc- key vets out of the organized game this year, and pushes the Rockets behind the eight ball on their plans to re-enter Big-Time professional hockey. Bessone's absence leaves Gardiner short of defencemen. Eddie Red- mond, rookie defenceman from Kirkland Lake, will be out until Nov. 2 because of a shoulder injury suffered in training camp. Tyrrell is out to buy new material either from the National or American League to bolster his defence line. | THERE IS NO ones ToRACco JUST LIKE : OLD CHUM | The Tobacco of Quality "CANADA'S ORIGINAL AROMATIC PIPE TOBACCO™ WHERE (2s Bring your car in now for our complete winter- izing and tune-up serv- ice.
