PAGE EIGHT THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE 77 TUESDAY, JANUARY 21, 1947 WHO 15 PROVING ; HIS WORTH AS A THE WINNER OF LAST SEASON'S © CALDER TROPHY PORT €0. NAPSHOTS Comrie There was only the one game played in the O.H.A. Junior "A" race last night, - with Windsor Spitfires winning--a 4-point - verdict over. the Seabos right in Hamilton. Things have never been good with the Hamil- ton Juniors this season (except the night they nipped the Generals 3-2) but are obviously much worse now. Oshawa fans found that out on Saturday here and after last night, the Hamilton fans must be convinced. They'll not set any attendance records from here in, unless it's for "low net". The win vaulted Windsor up into a tie for 7th place, with St. Catharines' Falcons, with 14 points each. St. Kitts play in Windsor on Saturday night and another win for the Spitfires would give them 7th place, all alone, regardless of what the Falcons do in their game tomor- row night at Stratford. Barrie has 34 points to Stratford's 30 and each have played the same riumber of games, 27. Stratford can win two points tomorrow night and then get their big chance on Saturday, when they meet Young Rangers in a 4-point go, at the Gardens. Galt plays In Barrie tomorrow night and that one can go either way. A win for Gait will put them ahead of Marlboros, both having 38 points at the present "time but Galt has played 25 games while Marlboros have only 5 more.to go, having played 31. Marlies play St. Mike's on Saturday, which will not help them much. ARRADE v RANGERS N * LJ + * Frankly, we think Stratford Kroehlers will finish in 5th place, if not 4th, for although Barrie has a 4-point lead over Stratford right now, the remaining schedule shows that Barrie Flyers have 9 more all going to be tough, including two each with and Oshawa. Barring upsets, Kroehlers should be able e by playoff time. Marlboros have 38 points now ve 5 games to go, one (4 pis. or equal to 2 games) with St. Mike's and another one of the same brand, with Oshawa. Marl- Oshawa on Feb. 1st and then they have only one game after that, a postponed tilt with Barrie Flyers--their only game first thre¢ weeks of Feb. after Feb. 1st. That's going to be rough on Marlboros and unless they can upset Oshawa in Toronto, they did with Galt, and perhaps also win in Barrie, they'll not only lacking in practice when playoff time rolls around but they are apt find that Stratford has passed them. : * * + * . The old Junior race is certainly getting hectic. The picture changes of days and it will change again tomorrow night, of course. , Oshawa Generals are playing St. Mike's in Toronto tomor- t and a win for the Generals will put them back tied for second th Galt and Marlboros, just like they were before they left for and Brandon. However, a win for St. Mike's tomorrow night, ve the Generals in the precarious position of having a tough job fourth, let alone 3rd. A lot of local hockey fans plan on taking at Maple Leaf Gardens tomorrow night. The two other tomorrow evening in the schedule are St. Catharines at Stratford h Kroehlers should win) and Galt at Barrie (which could go either ). A win for Galt will put them in second plaec alone but if Barrie take this one, then they'll stay ahead of Stratford, which they want to do, very badly. Incidentally, we wonder if Laurie Brain of Galt has revised his opinion of Marlboros. Back a few days ago he was telling his readers that actually the Marlies didn't rate their high standing in the group race, as compared with Galt, Oshawa and Stratford. Saturday, the Dukes nipped the Red Wings 6-5. What now, Laurie? > * * 2 A hint that the hockey and academic authorities at 5t. Michael's roses is given with the news that Mackell, O.H.A.

AGAIN Montreal, Jan. 20--(CP) -- An- other 12-game schedule will be piayed this year by the Interprovin- cial Rugby Football Union, it was decided at the annual meeting of the League here Saturday. A three-man committee. was ap- pointed to draw up tentative dates, which will include Sunday games at Montreal. Ottawa Rough Riders ind Hamilton Tigers agreed to play Alouettes on Sunday, but Toronto , as they did'| y Representatives. of the Big Four teams made To Shanee the rules. ear a link-up between the LRF.U. and the Ontario Rug- by Football Union. 'However, it was learned that no applications were received and that there was no dis- cussion «on the matter. "That's out for this season at least," said a spokesman. "It's too early to say whether any applica- tions will be received before the next meeting." Dr. J. J. O'Connor of Toronto and "Joe" Ryan of Montreal were appointed delegates to the Cana- dian Rugby Union meeting next month in Montreal. As in 1048, the teams finishing first and second will meet in a sudden-deatlr game 'at Toronto for the Union title and the right to advance into the C.R.U. playdowns. Winners of the Big Four and the Ontario Rugby Football Union would decide where 'the Dominion semi-final would be played. It was understood that the Union agreed to a proposal whereby each team would contribute $300 from their hcme games to a pool which would be used to help alleviate any financial difficulties encountered by any of the entrants.

"Rube" Waddell and his mates had a shutout within their grasp but shortly after getting their half- dozen mark, they relaxed suffi- ciently to let the game and ever- trying visitors finally click from close quarters, with Butler taking a fass from Andress, after Geddes had started the play and Butler coasted in behind the defense on top of Waddell, smartly made the Ochawa goalie make his move and then flipped the puck up into the open side. Badly Outclassed That was London's orphan mark in the success column. They tried in gallant fashion all the way, and What's more, played clean hockey throughout, despite the fact they here Sul-gkated i and weary most of e e, bu ey were simply out- classed 'all down the line. Moffatt in goal for the Majors, was their standout. He must eat his corn flakes regularly, for he was on the move for 56 minutes of the 60 and at that, it took clean-cut passing plays plus sizzling shots to enable Oshawa to get their half- dozen tallies, He stopped about six times as many as that and most of them. were brilliant saves. Another Londoner who made a hit with the Oshawa fans, was their old friend, "Red" Geddes, who used to cavort here. in Junior ranks with Toronto Lions and Young Rangers, before taking up residence in Pe- terboro for a couple of hockey sea- sons. Slower and bigger, he still can stick-handie and played a very heady game on defense and spark- ed many of his team's most dan- gerous goal-thrusts, Andress, with his bullet-like shot, Butler, McFadden and Mustill were the others for London who showed promise of being much better in a week or so. Legionnaires Clicking The Legion team was clicking all down the line, from Waddell, out to the forward trios. Waddell star- red on what he had to do. Hinton and "Ab" Barnes were towers of strength on defense and up front, the locals haven't looked better this season, The White-Furey-Sawyer line, with "Scotty" Reid alternating now and then, was good, with Furey.the pick but it was Oshawa's other line that stood out. "Doc" Dafoe re- turned to the Oshawa puck wars af- ter a long sojourn in the ranks of Whitby and Toronto T.H.L. ranks, and his presence filled out a potent trio, with "Wart" Barker and Da- foe flanking the canny play-mak- ing Tisdall, who has lost little of stick-handling games together and they will be the best "front line" in the Oshawa scored two goals in each of the three both teams short-handed. He trick- Moffatt with a pretty play at the goal-mouth. Tisdall got a cou- ple both as a result of Barker's help.

Group Game Brantford, Jan. 21 -- Brantford Redmen increased their lead in the Big Four Intermediate "A" series by defeating - Kitchener Legion here last night, 6-3. It looked like a shutout for goalie Cockburn of the Brants, but his mates wilted in the last period as the Legionnaires pressed in to score three quick goals. ; WINDSOR WINS 4-POINT GAME AT HAMILTON Hamilton, Jan, 21 -- Windsor Spitfires picked up four points and moved ahead of Hamilton Szabos in the OHA Junior "A" race last night when they defeated the local youngsters, 12-4. Being short on manpower, having only five men at game time, Man- ager Eddie Ambis borrowed five Junior "B" performers to help out and the kids presented a fairly strong front. Hamilton's réal weak- ness was behind the blue line as keepers Hamilton used, Howson and Leeson, no suppor? at all. Pierre Cadieux was Hamilton's individual star. He scored the first two goals, but the line of Loader, Garbas and Taylor looked best for Hamilton. . , For Windsor, the offensive play of Gord Haidy and Mike Russ was outstanding. The latter found him- self in the last period and rattled home three of the first four goals in that session to put victory weil beyond Hamilton's reach.

CITED AS EXAMPLE OF FINE WORK DONE SPONSORING BOYS' SPORT Toronto, Jan. 21 -- (CP) -- Serv= ice Clubs such as the Kinsmen, Rotary, Lions and Kiwanis organi- zations yesterday recelved a large share of the praise from the Ontario Minor Hockey Association for the group's growth from 78 teams to an estimated registration eventually this season of some 525 clubs. Many of the teams entered in the O.M.H.A. are sponsored by these Service Clubs in communities: throughout the province, a state- ment said. The Club's interest in Minor hockey coupled with that shown by Minor Hockey or Athletic Associations have helped in the "sensational" . expansion. of the OM.H.A. , The statement said glowing ex- amples of the success met by or- gatiizations interested in minor sport are the Oshawa Minor Hockey Association, Whitby M.H.A., Hamil- ton M.H.A.,, and Stratford M.H.A. Among the cities. which have formed similar associations this season are Peterborough and Brantford. Special emphasis has been placed in the Bantam series this year and already, with the entering date ex- tended, the number of teams en- tered has increased from 36 last year to 53 at this date. "Spitfires" Now Tied for Seventh With St. Kitts By The Canadian Press Windsor Spitfires' chances of making the O.H.A, Junior "A" playoffs look pretty slim at the moment but the scrappy Western Ontario club looked like a world- beater last night in trimming Hamilton Szabos 12-4 in: their own backyard. : The Szabos, their injury-ridden ranks bolstered by five graduates from Junior "B" ranks, stayed within two goals of the Spitfires for two periods but faded sadly in the stretch run as the Windsor- ites outscored them 7-1 in the fi- nal stanza, The loss dropped Sza- bos to 'ninth place in the 10-team group as the Windsors picked up four points to move into a tie with the seventh-place St. Cathar- ines Falcons. Mike Russ, Earl Keyes and Gord Haldy had three goals aplece with Astles, Long and Ka- singletons for Spitfires biggest score of the sea- son.

Only one waiver request could possibly have been made up to last Saturday, when Greenberg was sold to the Pittsburgh Pirates. This means that President Larry Mac- Phail of the New York Yankees and others in the American League did not even bother to put in a claim for him. MacPhail, explaining why he let Greenberg be waived out of the league, said he had tried three times since last fall to land Green- berg, but that each time he was turned down. Yet when he might have had opportunity to get Green- berg for the $10,000 waiver price, he failed to take advantage of it. MacPhail said the Tigers would not have allowed Greenberg to go to the Yankees, or any other poten- tially strong American League club. That might have been trae, but neither MacPhail nor anybody else gave the Tigers a chance to prove or disprove it. ! If the magnates had stuck to the letter of the law, President Walter E, Briggs of the Tigers would have had no receurse but either to recall the waiver or let Greenberg go. Under a new ruling passed by both major leagues each club is al- lowed three cracks at any player put on the waiver list. A request for waives on any player cannot be withdrawn by the same club' more than twice in any calendar year.
