The Beaton's Dairy boys eliminated Toronto Bulldozers and Kingston's good team and they are now out to reach a berth in the Southern Ontario finals, likely against St. Kitts. If they can get a margin or even hold Barrie to a tie up there tonight, their chances of taking the series in the second game here Saturday will be good. Osh Bant who ted Barrie in their first round of playoffs, are due to play Owen Sound in the next session and it will likely be a sudden-death game, perhaps here in Oshawa also on Saturday afternoon, LJ + * LJ R. 8. McLaughlin's fine horse "Kingarvie," winner of the King's Plate last year, equalled a track record at "Gulfstream" yesterday, in winning the long race, 1 and 1/16 miles. The day previous "Imperator" ran a bang-up second in a sprint event at Hialeah. It is becoming more and more evident that Parkwood Stables, under the guiding hand of Trainer George Brent and Dick Townrow, are making a better show- ing than they did a few years back. Of course, their entries may have more class now but what matters to the "two-buck betters" is that the Parkwood colors are paying off quite frequently, + » + We, feel that we must not let the death of one of Oshawa's outstanding citizens, pass without a brief personal comment from this corner. The funeral yesterday of the late Cyril E, Souch mark- ed the final chapter in the full and useful life of a man who gave his finest in service and talents to the service of his country, his community and his friends. His death was traceable to the results of being gassed in the service of his country in the last war. He returned handicapped but full of vigorous ambition and went on to carve for himself a successful career in pharmacy and the drug business. But his other activities, his untiring and energetic en- deavors on all local community projects marked him as one of Oshawa's greatest servants. His wide circle of friends was varied and embraced men in every walk of life. We were proud to call him a personal friend and privileged to enjoy his association in various organizations, In sporting Ife, he was a keen fisherman and an ardent sport ially enthusiastic about deer hunting. Cyril Souch was one of the valued and most-loved mem- bers of the "White Deer Hunt Club." In moments of levity, we used to jokingly refer to ourselves as "The Ten Little Indians." It marks the first Break in our ranks and the loss is doubly keen. A certain portion of the wholesome fun and pleasure of our annual jaunt into the woods each autmn will be missing now, the nightly euchre games will not seem quite the same. But Cyril Souch leaves behind, not only with those who have shared & sportsman's camp life with this "man's man," but with all who knew him, a vast store- house of wealth in happy memories, and an inspiration of fortitude and high deals which few men are privileged to receive. On behalf of all in sporting circles, we extend the deepest of sympathy to his family, A true sportsman has passed on!

Yesterday reports said that Patrick, who with his brother Frank formed one of the greatest brother combinations ever seen In any sport both on the ice and in the front office, would soon sever his connections with Madison Square Garden. Officially Patrick "retired" from active management of the Rangers after 19 years at the helm when Frank Boucher took over the team in February, 1946, and Lester was relegated to a ' front office position as a vice- president of the Garden Corpora- tion with a share of stock, The move hasn't meant that Les- ter drops into the Garden every three months to collect the divi-. dend on his stock, Although his health doesn't warrant his work- ing a six-day week, Lester has re- mained a helpful part of the Ranger organization, Today business manager Tom Lockhart sa"d that Patrick defi- nitely wag not qui'ting the Gar- den for good and such reports are "absolutely unfounded." As for Neil Colville, veteran forward, taking over the Ranger coaching reins next season to leave Boucher free for a front-of- fice job, Lockhart said such a move was not being considered at present, However, in" inner hockey eir- cles appointment of Neil as coach is believed probable in the future, REPORTS VARY AS TO.

Use The Times-Gazette classi. ad section for quick results, Win-or-Else For Rangers Against Wings By JACK MITCEELL Canadian Press Staff Writer ~ It's "sudden death" for New York Rangers when they meet the Red Wings at Detroit in the only one of three National Hockey League games tonight with any bearing on the final standings, and thus the Stanley Cup playofls. A loss or even a tie and the New Yorkers, all dressed up with playoff dates, will find themselves with nowhere to go. The Red Wings, so far behind a few short weeks ugo that the N.H.L. governors overlooked them in set- ting tentative dates for the cup semi-finals, now hold a five-point edge on the fourth and last playofl berth, To snatch it back, the Ran- gers must win their remaining three games while Detroit loses its last two. So even if Rangers, who have won only three and tied three 'of 11 pre- vious clashes with Detroit, should manage to win tonight it's still a tough row to hoe. They'd have to beat the Maple Leafs at Toronto Saturday and the Chicago Black Hawks Sunday, Meanwhile Detroit would have to lose to Toronto Sun- day night. This could put the Maple Leafs in the peculiar position of being able to pick their semi-final playoff op- ponents, for the Rangers could be conceded a victory over Chicago, in lagt place and well out of th oney round, phi Discounting these mathematical chances, the Wings appear certain to line up in the best-of-seven round against the Leafs, who clinched second place last week- | end, Due to open in Toronto March 26, this bracket is known as series "B"--some say to distinguish it from series "A", Series "A" matches Canadiens, regular schedule cham- plons for the fourth straight year, against the third-place Boston Bruins. It opens in Montreal March 25. The hooty in both brackets is $1,000 each for the players of the winning team and $500 for the los- i ers, The winners then me2t in an- other best-of-seven round with the | same rake-off for the players. and the ultimate victors picking up the Stanley Cup along with their $1,000 bonus, . Canadiens, Leafs and Bruins all see action in tonight's other two games but with their final positions already decided, it will be fantastic if they don't trip lightly, All three were hard hit by late- season injuries and the main idea now is to horde what players are left for the playoffs. For that rea- son, even two such traditional rivals as th: Maple Leafs and the Can- .adiens, clashing in Toronto, can be expected to play it fast but daintily. A few fireworks may arise in this game, though, from Maurice Rich- ard's attempt to regain the indivi- dual scoring lead from Max Bentley, who now has 67 points to the Mont- realer's 65. Bentley, who overtcok Richard de- spite an injury that put his brother Doug out for the last few weeks, will be out to increase the lead at Bos- ton.
