ARENA THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE TUESDAY, JUNE 3, 1947, PORT : ol NAPSHOTS Combet: After reading the account in this paper the other day, of the Oshawa Minor Hockey Association "City League" hanquet, a certain local hockey-minded sports fan wanted to know how come the Oshawa Industrial League hockey banquet didn't go on as scheduled. Well, it's a horrible story. The reasons given were "lack of interest," "400 late after the season finished" and "no funds in the treasury." 3 League friends are only telling half- the reason they called off their league Ht Hit | It certainly does seem regrettable that such a promising organiza- tion as the Industrial Hockey League, which filled a long-needed want in this city, namely by providing organized hockey for local enthusiasts not capable of making O.H.A. standards, should in its first season, taper up like a wet fire-cracker. There's nobody who makes any h small-scale leagues and when sponsors are good enough , we think the least the individual players small shot for a banquet, have a nearly n only wind up the first season in grand added enthusiasm for another year. We'll bet anybody sponsors interested had each consented their own players, the banquet would have been held. The very fact that no banquet is being held is proof that the blame lies entirely with the players themselves. There's no wonder sponsors get a bit fed up with "paying out" all the time, when the players show such little willingness to pay even a little bit for their own fun. It's also very disheartening to league officials also, who do a lot of work during a season, which is apparently not much appreciated. * * +» The Junior and Juvenile softball schedules for Oshawa City & District Association leagues, are published in today's paper. This sets the stage for this week's games, with a ple of tilts scheduled for tonight in the Junior ranks and also a game or two in the Inter, "AA" loop. "Home game" team managers are advised to check the condition of their diamond before each game and inform the Presi- dent or Secretary, as soon as possible, also the manager the visit ing team.

DUMSDAY Canadian Press Staff Writer Toronto, June 3--(CP)--They placed an all-time gate record for Toronto boxing on the books to- day and presented for further in- spection, Lil Arthur King, who has the makings of the greatest black lightweight machine since Joe Gans. The 132-pound Toronto negro youngster drew about 11,000 fans to Maple Leaf Gardens last night and they paid $23,300 to see him give Montreal's veteran Dave Castilloux a clear-cut lacing in an eight-round main bout. The total topped the $23,000 mark set in 1927 by flyweights Frenchy Belanger and Ernie Jarvis, Although The Canadian Press score card gave King five rounds, with ' two even and only one for Casty, his manager, Jack (Dea- con) Allen thought Dave should have been given the nod--"why we took five or six rounds." But balding Dave's claim to make the other fellow miss seems about his only claim to ranking with the better lightweights. He did not show the same speed as in his pre-war bouts and his best bobs and weaves couldn't get him out of range of the lethal-punch- ing 20-year-old negro, who turn- ed professional only a year ago. There was a roar of disapprov- al in the semi-windup when Ted- dy Swain of Toronto, 127%, scor- ed a third-round knockout over Katsumi Morioka, 124J, as the Vancouver Japanese sat on his foul punch, While Marioka rested on one knee at the close of the second, after a knockdown, Swain struck him in the face with a left, The fans howled for the fight to be awarded to the coast battler on a foul but referee Bobby Law- rence waved him to his corner and counted Marioka out when he refused to leave his stool at the bell London's promising Bob Flan- nigan gave the customers proof that he needs more grooming, even though he did win his eight. round tilt with Pat Giordano of Toronto.

Halifax, June 2--(CP)--The Mari- times are hot on harness racing and out of the maze of sagas about the trot-and-pace ' sometime comes a gem about what goes on behind the rail and in the shade of the stands. One such is dished up by Jerry (New Glasgow Evening News) Gil- lespie, who resolves never again to "pay attention to horsey guys with hot tips." Gillespie went to the races at New Glasgow's Union Track. He no sooner got inside the gate when & solemn-looking character sidles up to him and says: "You're one of them sports writers, ain't you? ... I gotta couple tips. . ." Gillespie says that "At this stage he was tugging me over io a corner of the grandstand. And when he was sure we were alone--he had the sort of furtive look of a paying a nocturnal visit to 4 neigh- bor's hen-house--he whispered: 'It's Tip Abbe for the first heat, Chuck Worthy for the second, Walnut Abbe for the third heat.'" His undertone voice was catching. I found myself looking over my shoulder and whispering from the corner of my mouth: 'What about The Great G?' "He looked at me with something akin to pity in his eyes. "'"The Great G, The Great G. . . ain't you got any sense? and, he went on in a hurt voice, 'ain't you got any faith in me?' "I began to feel guilty. Maybe, I thought, the guy knows what he's talking about. After all, I told my- self, what do I know about horses? + « » Guess he read my thoughts be- cause he slapped me on the back says: "I knowed you'd see it my way-- now you're cooking with gas, bud- Gillespie says the rest was too painful to relate.
