WEDNESDAY, APRIL 2, 1947 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE THIRTEEN | Ontario Gout. Would Revise Athletic Control Toronto, April 1--(CP)--An act to repeal the Ontario Athletic Com- mission' Act was introduced in the Ontario Legislature by Premier Drew. The Legislation is known as the Athletic Control Act and its 9 effect is to place the function of this Commission under another branch of administration--the De- partment of Education. The Professional Sports of Boxing and Wrestling will come under the Treasury Department to facilitate collection of taxes, Mr. Drew said. Law enforcement will be in the care of the Attorney-General's Depart- ment. The physical instruction and fit ness side of the Commission will be looked after by the Physical and Health Branch of the Education Department. Provision is made for appoint- ment of an Athletic Commissioner for the approval of contracts and other duties previously carried on by the former Athletic on, the Premier said, Taxes taken from sporting aciivi- ties will be available for advance- ment of sport. These taxes will not go into the consolidated revenue fund but will be placed in a separ- ate fund called the Physical Fitness and Recreation Fund. Billy Reay Is Pace-Setter As BOWLING ALBERT ST, .

Reay's four markers were only one short of the playoff record of five goals set by his more illustrious teammate Maurice (Rocket) Rich- ard. Johnny Quilty recruit from Springfield of the American League, fired the other Montreal gounter while little Kenny Smith got the only shot past reliable Bill Durnan in the Canadiens' cage. Both teams had another player to add to their already I cas. ualty lists. Ken Mosdele of the Habs suffered a possible fractured forearm when he tripped over Dur- nan's stick and Don Gallinger of | ¢oox the Bruins was sidelined earlier with outshot Montreal 7-2, Reay sent Canucks in front at 5:04 of the se- cond when he rammed home his |g own rebound after taking a relay from Richard. About a minute la- ter, Quilty steered a blueline drive by defenceman Roger Leger past goalie Frankie Brimsek. Reay notched his second goal to uke it 3-0 at 10:38 when he blast- ed Leger's rebound past Brimsek |c during a Montreal power play. With the Bruins' Pat Egan and Jimmy Peters of Montreal sitting out .high-sticking penalties, Boston scored their lone counter with J Smith backhanding a 12-footer through Durnan after taking a pass from Terry Reardon.

Boston Red Sox Look Mighty Hot Tampa, Fla, April 2--(AP)--Bar- ring a terrific upset, Boston Red Sox will be right k in the World Series next fall, seeking revenge for the humiliating job dome on them by the Cardinals in the '46 playoff. For a time this spring many ob- servers were "high" on Detroit Tig- ers. More recently, though, the won- der has grown as to what Tiger, or 'Tigers might knock across the 127 runs that Hank Greenberg's bat produced last year. The feeling has become wide- spread that the Tiger bosses made a big mistake when they peddled Hank to Pittsburgh. Several Detroit pitch- ers are sald to be unhappy about the deal. The American League finish should look about like this: 1, Bos- ton; 2, Detroit; 3, New York; 4, Washington; 5, Cleveland; 6, Chi- cago; 7, St. Louis; and 8, Philadel- phia. SLOAN'S Tivrisnesid Good for TIRED MUSCLES Oshawa Bakery Oshawa Furriers Cola's Dalry age) bid to tak thi 1 last tion when they handed out Badminton On Skates Is Latest Sports Trick sn -- ---- Husk Fougie, right, and Stig Larson, ice Sadmipton pros, in a shot that : shows hy their uel is popular. Both nce expert badminton players and skaters before combining the two. Try this in your spare time. Ice badminton, as played by Forgie, has gymnastic flourishes for the benefit of spectators, ew Although it was once regarded as a "sissy" game, badminton is one of the fastest and most strenuous of sports. Really good badminton players are as rare as feathered frogs. One of the best in the world is Hugh Forgie, a Canadian, who has made it faster, more strenuous and better to watch that it ever was before, by introducing badmin- ton on ice. Forgie had been an ice hockey player and could have made a career of that, but he preferred to knock the "bird" about. His great- est difficulty in starting badminton on ice was in finding a partner who was a good badminton player and an expert on skates. He found this rara avis in the person of Stig Larson, who was sixth ranking bad- minton amateur in the U.S. Lar- son turned professionel to join Forgie, who had been trying for six years to sell his badminton on ice idea. The two are now thrilling thousands as an act in an ice carnival, It is very improbable that bad- minton on ice will ever become a popular sport for the masses--ex- cept forthe masses to watch. It takes too much skill. For players have to be expert in two sports to play this one, and they must also be in the tip-top peak of physical and mental condition. Before introducing the game, Forgie played badminton all over the world. He once played at a command performance before the King and Queen of England, C.0.F. PLANNING TO REVIVE THEIR SOFTBALL LOOPS Court Duffins No. 1625, Canadian Order of Foresters, Pickering, held their regular monthly meeting when Bro. J. Bryant C.R., welcomed visiting Bros. C. Ferguson, PCR, and Cal Braun, D.O, of Oshawa, and C. Lockwood, P.C.R. of Orono. In their addresses both Bro. Lockwood and Ferguson stressed the necessity of an active and ag- gressive social and attendance pro- gram, in order that all members would gain to the fullest extent their duties and responsibilities. Bro. Ferguson also reported that a bowling tournament held in Osh- awa and including members and ladies from Oshawa, Pickering and Bowmanville, was most successful and concluded a very successful bowling season in the district. Bro. Jolin Powers, V.CR. was in charge of goods and welfare, and his program was highly educatioal and instructive, Bro. D. N, Lock- wood obtained the highest marks of those present. Bro. Cal Braun outlined the ball plans for the summer, He stated that the Bowmanville sports com- mittee were organized, and would operate a 4-team boys' loop and a 4-team girls' loop with the primary idea of providing healthy recreation for all. During the war, leagues could not be successfully operated but now it is time to rebuild in the Oshawa and Pickering districts. He suggested a four-team men's league with Pickering and Oshawa, pro- perly supervised and giving an op- portunity to all who wish to parti- cipate. He stated that the Order was in the possession of several cups and a playoffs could be ar- ranged with teams in the district in the fall. In this connection the first or- ganization meeting will be held shortly in preparation of an active season. It is also hoped that a la- dies' softball league will operate in conjunetion with the T.U.C.A. Club of Oshawa. Red Tape Stops Horse That Jumped "Beecher's Brook" Holyhead, Anglesey, Wales, April 2 (Reuters)--Caughoo, the little Irish horse who defied all barriers to romp to victory in last Batur- day's Grand National Steeplechase at Aintree, could not hurdle His Majesty's customs last night. Instead of being piped ashore by two bands from the boat at Dub- lin today, Caughoo was spending the night in a stable borrowed from a railroad company's cart horse because the groom had not yet re- ceived the necessary export licence. The Board of Trade said the licence was mailed Monday. Today if there are no further snags, the crack steeplechaser of 1947 will. get his welcome in Dub- lin and will be triumphantly led along O'Connel Street to owner J. J. McDowell's jewelry shop. Sport Shorts From Britain By JACK SULLIVAN anadian 'Press Staff Writer London, April 1--(CP)--An indi- cation that Britain is giving way on broken-time payments to ati- letes competing in international events was given by Lord Burgh- ley, chairman of the organizing committee for the 1948 Olympic Games, who said there should not be too much "rigidity" over this question, Presiding at the annual meeting of the Amateur Athletic Associa- tion, Lord Burghiey who also is president of the International Am- ateur Athletic Association, said: "What I feel on this question is that the real amateur principles must not be lost, but if there are hard cases--ags I believe there are-- we should consider them carefully with an open frame of mind." Lord Burghley's remarks were made a few days after it was an- nounced a special meeting of the IAAF, would be held in London June 9-10 to discuss the controver- sial broken-time payment question. The special meeting was called af- ter demands from some European countries to "settle" the problem. Sports leaders from England, Scotland and Wales are in France to study French methods of physi- cal recreation and sports training. The party--chosen sports leaders of the Central Council of Physical Recreation co-ordinating council of 154 governing bodies embracing all the sports in Britain--were invited by the French ministry of educa- tion to take part in a normal French advanced leaders' training couruse. The course embraces all sporting activities in France, from athletics to fencing. Twenty-two daring young women shocked their parents and made his- tory July 13, 1747. Members of two Sussex village cricket teams, they travelled to London to play a crick- et match but, according to a news- paper of the time, "the company broke in so that it was impossible for the game to be plays 9 out, some of the women much frightened and others bie and it could not be finished until the morning." The result isn't known, Now, 200 years later, descendants "| of the original teams are to meet for a return match. The game is to be played | in August at Priory Par, Chichester. Fred Whittaker of Vancouver who came to England to fill a cen- tre-forward position with Notts County in the southern section, third division of the English foot- ball league, failed to impress in that position and now is a fullback on the club, He has proved a finished player in the latter spot. : GREAT BISMARK Prince Otto Bismarck, inyy greatest statesman, was in 1815 and died in 1898.
