} J ( THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE SATURDAY, JANUARY 11, 1°47 PORT = . NAPSHOTS Comeies iG With the CR.A. open-air rinks now going hockey program ready to get into full swing almost immediately, thus accommodating the young boys from 10 and 11 up to 18, there should be plenty 'of hockey talent available for the "City League" teams next win- ter. Incidentally, the "City League" is still holding forth on Thursday af- ternoons and evenings and once again, they had some rousing action this week. The hockey these boys play is of high calibre and worthy of .much better patronage than they receive. None of the "City Leagu" players or fhose in any other organized league (other than School Leagues) can play in the C.R.A. set-up, which is a good thing. It will spread the hockey training and experience over a wider group and many, instead of only a few, will be benefitting from the hockey opportunities now offered in this city. . koh ir "Moe" Charney, the one man responsible for putting rugby back in the limelight in this city, through his hard-working efforts of the last two years, leaves Oshawa today, having severed his connections avith the Hotel Genosha. The former Argo grid star was the man of the Oshawa "Red Raiders" Football Club and through his work and leadership, brought Inter. and Junior rugby to Oshawa this year, after a tough year of missionary work in the game in prospects, is given in the news that Coach Ke: who 'has been visiting in Oshawa this past few days, that he would like to have Mozewski, Naylor, Luke an out at Regina with him next season. Maybe these the invite and be playing Senior rugby in Western C * * Ofhawa's Intermediate "A" entry, "Legionnaires," copped a splendid 7-5 victory over the strong Kitchener Legionnaires, in a league game at Preston last night. The Oshawa team came from behind a 2-goal deficit on two different occasions and finally put on a spirited rally in the 3rd period to take the decision. "Whizzer" White was 'a standout for Oshawa last night, with "Ab" Barnes béing their other sensational star. Legion won this game without the services of "Wart" Barker and "Gar" Peters, who didn't travel with the Oshawa team last night, The Oshawa team came out of the game without any sefious injuries, although it was a rugged tussle. They play again here a week from Monday night. London's Inter. "A" team was admitted to the group at a meeting last night in Preston and they will fill out the schedule gaps caused when 8t. Catharines Moose decided to withdraw from the group race. * * * '" SPORT SHORTS:--Galt Red Wings suffered a hard blow 'when théy lost the 'servides of Bert Glesebrecht, one of the Pembroke hockey family, who is out for six weeks following an appendicitis operation . . .

By ALAN HARVEY Canadian Press Staff Writer New York, Jan. 11--(CP)--Let's go back fo 1897 for a story you probably never heard before about John Honus Wagner, the w! awkward-moving du who could play any position in baseball with the best of them . . . Long since retired to the coaching ranks at Pittsburgh, Honus was playing first base at the time and startled the fans by gesticulating wildly for the pitcher to hold the ball . . . flinger, nonplussed, carried through with the delivery and the batter sizzled a grounder to the shortstop, who relayed a peg to first . , . Honus, hunched mysteriously with left hand in hip pocket, stabbed the ball with a bare right hand, danced with pain and raced for the clubhouse . . . It developed that Wagner had thken the glove off his left hand to delve for tobacco and caught the flipper in the pocket lining . . . The manager of Wag- ner's team had to use a pen knife to cut the lining away from the Dutchman's hand. Here's Another One Another old-time ball player, Joe Tinker, 62-year-old former Chicago Cub shortstop of the Tinker-to- Evers-to-Chance combination, will enter hospital in Orlando, Fla. early next week to have his left foot amputated . . . Tinker has been bothered by a foot infection since last October . . . If Joe will pardon the levity, we'd like to spring the one original joke in our collection, about the baseball manager prais- ing his new double-play trio, Tink- er-to-Evers-to-Jones , . . The aud- ience, of course, says he means Tinker-to-Evers-to-Chance, and the Manager crushes them with the puach-line; "Our team never leaves anything to chance." Paddock Patter Running a race track like betting on the races run there, is an ex- pensive proposition . . . when Hia- lieah opens at Miami, Fla. Jan. 17, more than 1,000 employees, drawing a weekly pay total of more than $75,000, will be on hand to greet fans . . . a crew of 150 skilled gard- eners year 'round keep Hialeah's grounds primped, preened and pol- ished, and although the industry operates only 40 days a year, the track is considered a year-round show place and is a regular stop on conducted sightseeing tours . . . The theme song in Canada may HERE'S ONE ON BASEBALL FOR YOUR "LITTLE RED BOOK" be "Let it snow, let it snow," but at Hialeah miles of hibiscus hedges have been trimmed, acres of lawn cut and strutting pink fla; in the infield lake squawk happily. «+. R. 8. McLaughlin of Oshawa has a stable of sharp thoroughbreds at nearby Tropical, but so far his only winner has been the three- year-old Imperator, which scored his first victory last Saturday at $41.70 after being touted in New York newspapers--before the race-- as a paddock tip . . . McLaughlin's top three thoroughbreds, Gregalach, Wee Admiral and Kingarvie, have been knocking at the door.

Brabin was "the whole team" in a scoring sense, for Victors. He kept pace with Dodds with two goals also in the first period to make it 2-2.

In the third period, while Chopik was serving a penalty, Victors gang- ed but Dodds broke away for Can- ada Bread and passed to Miles, for their third goal.

The Leafs currently are riding five points ahead of the Canadiens. What makes the ancient feud domi- nant over all other teams is the fact that Boston Bruins, third-place contenders, now are without the ace play-making services of veteran Bill Cowley. The Bruins arrived in Toronto yesterday for their tilt against Leafs tonight and after further medical consultations it was decided that Cowley had a shoulder separa- tion which required attention and care, So Smiling Bill, who's en- d more plays than a bingo conductor, said adieu to his team- mates and left last night for his home in Boston. The only other game tonight sees the hapless Chicago Hawks at Montreal. Goalie Paul Bibeault of the Hawks, who saw 11 pucks flutter past him in Toronto a few weeks ago, and another 10 on Thursday there, wasn't saying a thing, But he was probably muttering 'they can't be worse than Leafs." Aubrey Clapper, Bruins' coach who was born in Newmarket at least 40 years ago, is going to be on the ice with his stick at the alert tonight as a result of Cowley's ab- sence. If it gets any worse, perhaps even Art Ross will get out there and skate. The Bruins have won only two of their last nine games. Ross said at Toronto last night that he's keen on Edward Barry, native Bostonian and 27-year-old coast guard veteran, who makes his N.HL. debut in Boston next week. Barry has 21 goals and 13 assists in 30 games in the Eastern United States Amateur Hockey League. Ross didn't say anything about Bill Cowley going back home. He figured the results would do all the talking. - And the Leafs, dizzily rid- ing in an unaccustomed lead, weren't talking either. All figured that anything might happen.
