THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE By BERT C. HALL Kitchener, Ont. Canadian Curling Champion, 1939 It takes team play to win curling games--each Visjer is equally wn portant--and incident I POrani a as pioidemt 1 am where a skip had the gdod fortune Manitoba to win with their stone to come. This, then, called for a "freezer" to be reasonably sure of a win--possibly the most difficult shot Here, with excellent sweeping judgment, we were fortue FIVE TIMES WINNER, OF THE ONTARIO BRITISH CONSOLS. TROPHY, EMBLEM OF SINGLE RINK | SUPREMACY. INNER OF THE ALD BRIER TANKARD FOR 2) 'ONTARIO IN 1939 "A TOP FLIGHT CURLER FOR MORE THAN 23 YEARS to pay a difficult shot exactly as or, The situation occurred in the 8th game of the 1939 Brier at the To- ronto Granite Club, Our rink from the Kitchener Granite Club, repre- senting Ontario, was tied with Ross Kennedy's rink (Winnipeg Strath- cona Club) representing Manitoba, each with seven wing and no de- feats, As all other provinces had suffered one or more losses, winner of this game had an outstanding chance to win the Brier, as there was but one more' game to go in the series. The gallery was packed for this crucial contest which was tensely contested al all the way. Playing the last end of the hard- fought game, we were one up, but Kennedy had last stone. The end had gone badly for us and our sup- porters were worried--certainly we were! I was about to play my last stone with Manitoba lying three-- more than enough to win the Two Manitoba stones were slight- ly apart and practically touching the twelve inch circle but, fortun- atdly for us, back of same. Obvious- ly we had to draw to cover the "Ditton" shorter meant the game was lost. To disturb eith- ef of the Manitoba stones meant be would have no "backing", onl easy takeout, or sacrifice, for nate to make our objective--abso- lutely froze to one Manitoba stone, and within a fraction of an inch of their other stone. Naturally we were elated with the result, but there was still the remote possibil- ity of our stone spinning out of po- sition if hit very hard. Manitoba stil had their stone to play, and after a full half hour of discussion--with us as well--they decided to play a hard shot, hoping to dislodge our stone enough to give them shot and extra end. Ken- nedy played his stone as well ag it was physically possible, hitting our stone hard and dead on--so hard in fact his stone bounced back slightly, Our stone spun like a top for several seconds, and all watch- ed tensely, believing, as it slowed up, it would curl to one side. How- ever, it held its position coming to rest still over the tie. This win left us but one game .| from the Brier, and here Northern Ontario hopelessly outclassed us, throwing us back into a tie with Manitoba (who won their game). The playoff with Manitoba natural. ly caused much interest, and spec~ ulation, but our luck held and we won the second game from them which meant the 1039 Brier Tank- and | ard and the Canadian title, Lead Bill Watson is 43.

Palmer at 40 is the youngest man on the rink.

LOCAL ENTRY WINS KIWANIS "SPIEL TITLE ------ Peterboro, March 1--With entries from Orillia, Lindsay, Belleville, Co- bourg, Oshawa and Peterboro, the local Kiwanis Club staged a three 10-end game bonspiel on Thursday. This bonspiel was in conjunction with the annual district meeting and as an added attraction it went over big. Jack Allen was master of cere- monies and he did the job well. It was the first time many had been to Peterboro and they were greatly impressed. The games got under way about 9:30 am. and were all finished by 7:00 pm. We believe that it is the intention of the Kiwanis club to make this an annual affair, It certainly went over big this year. Winners First, each Hudson Bay blanket --G., Campbell, F. Moss, R.

Saint John, N.B., March 1-- .(CP)--With only two days to go until the start of Canada's great- est curling event, the second post- war MacDonald's Brier Tankard Dominion championships, Cana- da's top curlers were arriving here today for the big bonspiel next week on the five glistening sheets at St. Andrew's Curling Club rink, The ice, manicured and tended carefully the last few days, was in" prime condition, and Maritime curlers were hurrying last-min- ute preparations to make this, the first Brier tournament ever held east of Quebec City, the most successful ever staged, The three Maritime rinks will arrive here this afternoon, and the others who left Montreal last night, also are here today, Ten rinks---one from each pro- vince and one from Northern On- tario--will take part in the round-robin bonspiel play that will decide Canada's top curlers for 1947. The draw will be held Sunday "to determine the order of play in the event that starts on Mon- day and runs through until next Thursday If the leaders end in a dead- lock--as happened last year when Alberta, Manitoba and Nor- thern Ontario ended all even--ex- tra play will be on Thursday night, Last year, Billy Rose's rink from the tiny village of Sédge- wick, Alberta, won the Tankard in"#% hectic playoff, That win preserved Western Canada's margin of supremacy in the championships which first were held in 1927, halting only in 1943, 1944 and 19456 because of the war.

SLOW AND FAST ALLEYS Every good bowler, to achieve highest possible scores consistently, must be able to adjust his game to varying alley conditions. Even though all alleys are alike as far as measurements are concerned, even the rank- est novice soon discovers that the same delivery gets radically different results when used on different lines. Sometimes known as "hook" or backup" alleys, lanes are usually referred to as either "slow" or "fast." A highly polished lane causes the ball to slide, resulting in only a slight hook cr none at all, and is known as a "fast" alley. On the "slow" alley, the hook bowler can make his ball break sharply and get higher counts on the pins. He must be careful, however not to let his hook run too wild, To determine the peculiarities of an alley, throw your usual hook ball with as natural a delivery as possible. If the alley is too slow, the ball will hook sharply and may cross over in front of the pins. If you are satisfied that you have delivered your natural ball, move in a bit toward the centre of the alley, and direct your ball just a fraction to the right of the 1-3 pocket, which will cause the hook to break later, This is known as "reduc- ing the angle." Just the opposite method is used on alleys that are too fast. In this case the bowler 'moves out further toward the right hand gutter, thus increasing the angle. Changing the speed in delivery is not recommended, since this may have an injurious effect on the bowler's game.

TOOL AND DIE With the season slowly drawing to a close, it becomes more and more ap- parent that for a good many bowlers there is little or no hope and we are afraid that they will have to carry, all through the summer, the humiliaeing feeling that they have wasted another otherwise perfectly good winter. Take for instance, Boughton who rolled 72, Foreman who could do no better than £8 and Russell who just managed to squeeze by the 100 mark (104). Of course, there were others in the same class, too. ere was Knox, McCabe and Harris; then Cline, Dier and Lam ert. 'The case of McCabe was very sad. He was the top man last week and got preity close to the bottom this week. But, alas, the saddest case of all was Gord Furey, Our eyes fill with teais as we put down his score--483 for three games. The lemon, of course, was undisputedly his. As we always wish only the best for our fellow bow- lers, we hope for his s y recovery. We also hope that his family will not suffer to any unbearable extent and the esteem for their bread- as soon as his bowling im- restore winner, proves, There was also some real bowling at real pleased to see the otherwise jinxed Improvers with the splendid ald of topnotcher McGrath (797) and LaPlante (471) take 4 points from Brady's Has Beens.

The ers, with 3 ,near-lemons mentioned previously, on their team, had to relinquish all 4 points to the good and steady Bums McQuade (795), Sutton (774) and Lofthouse (742) were the chief reason why the Red Devils took a 3-1 decls- fon from the luckless Tops. Lefty Wills had another good night (778) and can easily take the credit for the 3-1 win over the Red Raiders, all as good as Lefty.
