Standing Dodgers Few New N.H.L. Marks This Year By JACK MITCHELL Canadian Press Staff Writer Well, what happened to all those new marks that were sup- posed to enter the National Hoc- key League's record book at the end of this longest season event. Here it is the last week-end of the big league's 30th schedule, 30 games longer than last year's 150. There are just five more league games to brush aside before t's) top four teams, already designa- ted, start the Stanley Cup play- offs. And the record book has proved hardier than a lot of the players. The answer seems to be that this season which introduced three dozen and more rookies, some 30 of whom are still about, and saw some of the old stars get back into pre-army form, brought with it a general tightening up of com- petition, The Montreal Canadiens are an illustration, While the Habitants came through with their® fourth straight league title, a record in itself, tey didn't set any other new marks doing it. The Canadiens have two more games to play--at Montreal to- night against the last-place Chi- cago Black Hawks .and against the Bruins at Boston Sunday night. Two victories would give them 80 points for their complete 60-game schedule. The runaway Canadiens of 1943-44 racked up 83 points in only 50 games. There's a hot race on right now between Chicago's Max Bentley and Montreal's Maurice Richard for the individual scoring race, as you've probably heard. But even by the time both get their two week-end games under the belt, theres little chance they will have passed the mark for the most points in one season, Eyrb Cain compiled 82 points with Boston also in the 1943-44 season and Bentley now hag 67, Richard 66. For that matter, Richard has scant chance of beating his own mark of the most goals in a sea- son--50 -- because the Rocket You Too...

STURDY FLOORING Certain tiled chapel floors fronf® the original building of the Abbey Church of St. Denis in France are still in existence, after more than 800 years, PIONEER OF RING, "OL' JOE" IS 94 BT Edmonton, March 22--(CP)--Joe Cotton, 94, one of the oldest Negroes in Alberta, picks Joe Louis as the best of the heavyweights over the last 25 years--and has the experi- ence to lend weight to his opinion, Cotton, known to Edmonton's sporting fraternity and to thousands of others as "Ol' Joe," fought the great Jack Johnson in Denver in 1901. "It was in Sacramento in 1899," he sald in a birthday interview, "that a tough white man named George Gannon put me away after we had slugged it out for 61 three- minute rounds, with only one-min- ute rests between." But the next time they met the story was different. "I didn't like that beating," said Joe. "At the opening bell Gannon rushed me and in less than a min- ute I let go a left hook which knocked him out. I finished him quick, and we didn't have to work through another 61 rounds. Joe was born in middle Texas, followed his father's trade as a blacksmith for several years, then in 1869 fought his first bare-knuckle fight at Joplin, Mo. "I met all comers and I didn't care nothin' for nobody," he said. "As a middleweight I fought as many heavies as middles--and I can still use my dukes if it comes down to that." Joe termed Bob Fitzsimmons a middleweight, and said he regarded him as the best all-time fighter at that weight. "Fits" later became a light-heavy and then a heavy- weight champion. Johnson-Willard Fight Of the fight in which Jack John- son was said through fear of pos- sible intimidation and even death to have "faked" the loss of his champ- lonship to Jess Willard, Joe snort- "I was at that fight, It was the biggest fake there ever was in the world. I saw Johnson lay down and put his hand over his eyes to keep the sun out. I could have licked Jess Willard myself that night; he was the poorest of all the heavy- weights. But Joe had a good word for Jack Dempsey, Sam Langford, Joe Gans and Henry Armstrong, who held three world championships in three weights at once. Joe was headlined with Billy Smith in San Francisco in 1892. The money gate totalled only $20,000, "but that was big money in those days." Joe's Recipe For Longevity? "First you gotta be true to your- self. If you can be true to yourself, you can be true to everybody." He disapproves of women who smoke, drink and swear. He has outlived his wife and only daughter by many years. He spends his retirement dis- cussing old times with his friends here, Joe is a 32nd degree Mason and a member of the Shiloh Baptist Church, adherents of which extend- ed him many congratulations on his 94th birthday.

NEWTON RICHARDS, Prop. MERVIN SCOTT, Mgr. GIANTS NEED A LEFTHANDER Los Angeles, March 22 -- (AP) -- To state the case positively, and hoping not to injure anyone's sensi- tive soul -- certainly no left-hander -- the biggest need of New York Giants this year is pitching. Ott probably will rely on four regulars from last year and pray for help from several newcomers to Major League baseball. 2 Of. the seasoned men, Lefty Mont Kennedy, with a 9-10 record from 1946, looks like a good bet, and marked improyement is expected in 0.C.V.l. Bantam Cagers Win Lakeshore Crown Over Peterhoro Squad By BOB RIFE The O.C.V.I. Bantam Basketball team won the second game of their two game total points series with Peterborough by a score of 32-18 up at the Collegiate last night. The win gives the Red, Green and Gold squad the Lakeshore Cossa crown since they won the first game 20-22 and so won the round 61-40. It is not known now whether the boys will continue any farther along the Championship trail since Bantam teams are hard to find and s0 there is a difficulty in deciding the final winners of the C.0.8.S.A. In Rare Form The Oshawa Bantams never look- ed better as they rolled to their easy win over the Liftlock City crew. They outplayed, out ran and out checked the boys in Red and Grey. "Nick" Mroczek was playing stel- lar ball all the way .and with Mozewsky also coming up with one of his better games the rest of the team just started to feed these boys and watch the ball hit the twine. | Ww! In the first quarter the play was a little cagey for the Pete's had to win this one to even have a chance of copping the series. This sort of play soon halted though when the O.C.VI, pushed right through the so-called tight Pete zone defence. Mroc2k boomed in five baskets and one free throw in the first half while Mackness was next with two baskets. The Oshawa defence was playing it smart in the first half and they only allowed three baskets to be scored against them. Johnny Hart and "Baldy" Harrell were terrific under their own basket and saved many sure shots from Pete players with their great backboard receiv- ing. Hart especially shone at this type of work. The score was 17-6 at the end of the half and the Oshawa team started to slacken off their pressure. In the third quarter it began to be a case of how many although the Peterborough players did come through with some better play. Jop- ling the heavy-set left guard, play- ed well defensively and was one of the few of his teammates who were able to bring the ball into Oshawa territory except on a breakaway pass. Finish Stronger Oshawa continued to dominate the play in the fourth quarter with her fast acting corner plays that seemed to have solved the question of bursting the unbreakable zone Ottawa "Riders" Invite U.S. Coach To Take Helm Ottawa, March 22--(CP)--Ottawa Rough Riders may go into the foot- ball season this year with two coaches, E. K. Emerson, president of the Riders said Thursday in an- nouncing that he planned on leav- ing for Philadelphia within "the next few days" to see if Jack Hin- kle of the Philadelphia Eagles want- ed the job. "Hinkle would work in conjunc- tion with George Fraser, present coach of the Ottawa team," added Emerson. Likes The Offer Lewisburg, Pa, March 22--(AP)-- Jack Hinkle, with Philadelphia Eagles of the National Football League, has been asked to accept position as Head Coach of Ottawa Rough Riders" of the Interprovin- |] cial Football Union, Hinkle sald the owner of the Canadian Club made him an attrac- tive offer and he will announce his decision in the next few days, Junior Thompson. Dave Koslo, busy with 14-19 last year, gives Ott another southpaw, and the fourth is righthander Bill Voiselle -- 9-15 -- who either will or won't remain a Major Leaguer this season. defence. Young Walt. Mozewsky came to the fore in the last mine utes of the game and from his left forward position he dropped in some dandies that caught the string without the use of the backboard. Play roughened up a bit and both teams started to give away those free throws that can often lose games. But the tilt ended before any real damage could be done in this way by either squad. The final score read, 32-18 for Oshawa. Rum- our has it, that another game will be played, just exhibition of course, between these teams if the Oshawa kids can find no one else to play.
