Kitchener, Brantford and Oshawa to replace the defunct St. Catha- rines' Moose club but all that was before they visited the Legionnaires here last night. London Majors will bé much better before playoff time, but last night they didn't have it. Lack of stern opposition in active competition showed in their lack of speed, condtion and in- ability to take advantage of "breaks". They tried gamely right fe the final bell and we'll give them this much--they're the cleanest hockey téam we've seen in O.H.A. action in the past five years. They didn't have the speed and stamina to stay with the local Legion boys but they took their bumps, handed out a few, and never quit trying or smiling. There wasn't a single display of temper or a vicious high- stick in the game. Even "Pat" Patterson had a tough time finding cause to issue the odd penalty. "Red" Geddes, an old favorite with Oshawa fans, on defense for London, was one of their best. We hadn't seen Geddes since he last played with Peterboro after leaving Junior ranks, He's still a keen player, a fine stick-handler and heady. In Eypn, McFadden, Mustill and Butler, the Majors have others who showed promise--but they're mighty slow, afoot. Andress, a veteran, showed he still knows his way around and he had, the best shot of any player on the ice, one of those low, hard sizzlers that are tough to stop. He deserved at least a couple but "Rube" Waddell was right on last night. L J L 4 L J . * Waddell was very good, and at that, London deserved ai least a couple of goals, but they didn't score until the game was almost over. However it was Moffatt at the other end who was the .real star of the game. His fine puck-stopping kept the score below the 20 mark, at Jeast. Oshawa had the Majors hemmed in their own end for minutes at a time, peppering the puck at Moffatt from every direction and he still starred. Give 'em a couple of games under their belts, and London Ma- jors will make them all step but last night, they were shaded in every department. The return of "Doc" Dafoe to an Oshawa uniform was & welcome sight. He teamed with "Regina" Tisdall and "Wart" Barker to Richard form the best forward line in action. "Doc" flanked "Regina" away back | Taylor, Detrol in 1040, in Senior O.H.A. with the GM-Men. The absence of Bill Morti- Ba: Bosto! mer was noticed in Oshawa's rearguard dept. but "Ab" Barnes turned in [yg er. & splendid game. Kernie McNaught is far from the speed-merchant of =, Oshawa General days of 1942. We liked the way the Legionnaires passed the puck. There is still room for improvement, both in ° of the passes and the ability. to take the passes "on the fly"--but at least, these boys keep the old boot-heel moving around and the result is entertaining to those who like to see skill and -team-play. . * L J + ® SPORT SHORTS: --Don't know whether it was the district's "Daisy Mae" are not, but a brush wolf was shot down near Newcastle on Satur- |; 'day . . .

The announcement, made in Cincinnat{ by Charles Sawyer, president of the Garden enter- prise, was unexpected. Sawyer sald Selke would divide his time between Montreal and Oincinnati until a $2,000,000 sports arena is completed in the latter city in time for the 1948-49 hockey season.

Clark Griffith, owner of Washington Senators, was outspoken yesterday in brushing off reports that Senators' first baseman Mickey Vernon would be sold to New York Yankees for a rumored $150,- 000.
