THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE ~ WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1947 i HS 'PAGE TWELVE PORT NAPSHOTS The in the sports whirl today Tie boxe they have been dropped in the midst of a'dark, African "Sungle. We refer to the drums that are being beaten, with resounding thumps, on all sides. Bill Tobin is seeking a new goalie and Harvey Bennett is mentioned as a possible, with Bastien as his first choice. The ~4ugby boys are doing their "durndest' 'to quote Coach West and Coach «Morris and drum up a sellout crowd for the final grid game of the Canadian season--and yet still be honest enough with their readers to admit that the decision is already in the bag. Then the "Hot Stove "Teague" holds the baseball front-too with the sale of the St. Louis 'Cardinals set-up as the big news of the day. Down in Ottawa, the "Mayor has opened a fund to help Barbara Ann finance her trips to the * World championships and Olympics, expenses to cover mother and trainer. The U.S. grid "Bowl Games" are also creeping into the bally- "hoo columns and of course the resignation of Bobby Bauer as coach of 'the Guelph Biltmores is the big news in Junior O.H.A. hockey. Bobby couldn't play "policeman" on the boys in their leisure hours so he resigned his post. He is credited with saying he has no intention of + going back to Boston Bruins. Notice the difference between intention "and a definite decision. Boston's cheque book might change Bobby's '"wintention," along about Christmas time. > * * . Locally, the hockey fans are waiting for Stratford's visit here result of the game when Generals play ' Saturday night and the a.

"Swat" also played softball here in O.A.S.A. finals, for Guelph. At 5 the local curling rink yesterday, the keenest competition in many "years, was in evidence yesterday. Toronto rinks dominated the day's .. play, with Gerv. Meech and W. S. Tomenson skipping their rinks into , the R. S. McLaughlin Trophy quarter-finals, with three wins yester. day. Tomenson ousted Doc. Harding's Oshawa rink in a rousing ' finish in the 3rd game and Meech beat out Ed. Pooler's men in an / equally tight tilt. In the Sykes Memorial games, an extra-end, one. shot decision had to be measured to give J. H. Bolton a victory over D. B. Carlyle and the other game was also close. Sixteen more rinks go into action today. * L 2 ° SPORT SHORTS--Queen's University, top team in the Intercolleg- fate group, handed Toronto Argonauts their first defeat in two years and won the Eastern Canada rugby final at Toronto, 25 years ago today. The Kingston crew, fighting hard on a muddy field, won 12-11 on a final field-goal by Pep Leadley . . . . Hamilton Wildcats have been pro- viding a little opposition for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in their prac- tices of late. The Bombers starting backfield will be Hiney at quarter, * Smith, Reagan and Sandberg at half and Hood at flying wing. The two Americans in this backfield are Reagan and Sandberg . «+ +The former postmaster general of the United States, and an athlete of note, Bob Hannigan, has been sold the St. Louis Card's baseball holdings. "He is reported with his colleagues, to have more than three and a half million invested in the deal . . . . Bill Tobin of the Hawks is looking for a goalie. There is no doubt about it either. He wants Bas Bastien, but Conn Symthe said he was Pittsburgh property and that he had no hold jon him. Tobin immediately left the Leafian bosses presence and headed or the smoky city. Whether he'll get Bas or not is a horse of another or. - Fa : SCISSORED SPORTS--(By The Canadian Press)--In a move in- Serpreted by some sporting circles as the opening of a drive to rival anada as a producer of hockey players, the United States Amateur Hockey Association yesterday announced formation of the Atlantic BY Geo.

Two strong Oshawa rinks, skip- ped by Al Parkhill and Dr. "Andy" Harding failed to survive. Ed Pool- er's Granites ousted Parky's men in the second round of the primary event for the R. 8S. McLaughlin Trophy and then in the finals, Gerv. Meech and his classy High Park foursome defeated Pooler's rink in a hard-fought finish. In the other bracket of the day's third round "finals", W. 8. Tomen- son's rink ousted Dr. A. W. Hard- ing's Oshawa four in a hectic fin- ish. The lecals were two shots down "coming home" but failed to click on the final end. In.the final games yesterday in the Sykes Memorial Trophy, consol- ation event eliminations, the games were even more closely fought. J. B. Bolton nosed out D. Bernard Carlyle's Toronto Victoria entry by one lone shot, on an extra end, and at that, the "judge" had to be call- ed out twice to measure for "shot" --including the final count of the extra end.

The Chicago club's president sped in and out of Toronto yes- terday in quest of a goal-tender. Tobin would like to obtain Baz Bastien of Pittsburgh Hornets of the American League and he talk. ed about that with managing di- rector Conny Smythe of Toronto Maple Leafs, parent club of the Hornets, But Smythe advised Tobin that Bastien actually was owned by Hornets. Tobin then headed for New York where it was under- stood he would confer with John . | Harris, president of the A.H.A. whether it would be about Bas- tien was not known. Hawks seemed to profit on of- , | fence by the recent deal where . | they picked up five players from Leafs in exchange for Max Bent- ley and Cy Thomas. But their de. fensive record didn't show any improvement. They tried switch- . | ing goalies--using Doug Jackson for Emile Francis-- but Jackson failed to stem the tide, allowing 17 goals in two games, . 'Tobin also has been reported of other netminders apart from Rastien, although Bastien is felt to be his first choice. There has been talk Tobin would like to pick up eith- '|er Sugar Jim Henry or Harvey Bennett. The former, regular with New Haven of the A.H.L., presently is up with New York Rangers as a fill-in for the injur. '|ed Chuck Rayner. Bennett, with Hershey Bears of the A.H.L., is property of Boston Bruins. It seems unlikely that: 'Tobin will be able to swing a deal in '| time to put Bastien in the Hawks' nets for tonight's game against Boston Bruins in Chicago.

Nov. 26--(AP)-- The boarded-up amusement park here probably never will be remem- bered as one of those famous fight camps® whose fame comes down through the years. It's a collection of small, white-painted buildings on a hilltop overlooking a pond where young folks come to swim in sum- mertime. One barnlike build- ing, heated by a couple of coal stoves, is where a ring has been set up so that Jersey Joe Walcott can prepare to tangle with Joe Louis for the world heavyweight cham- plonship next month. . .. Another small, barely - furnished house is Joe's living quatrers. Compared to Louis' training camp at Pompton Lakes, the place looks as if Walcott was practising an austerity program . « +» Maybe it's symbodic of the fact that Walcott is what they call a "hunkry" fighter--a guy who nev- er had much and who is eager to earn wealth and security Ever since Walcott first bobbed up as a challenger for Louis, the story has been going around about the time he served as one of Louis' sparring partners at Lakewood and was fired after he had the champ on the floor. ...Mushky Jackson, the Mr. Malaprop of Jacobs Beach, discounts the yam. "This buy comes in, nobody knows him; he was just another of those bums I hired for $25 a round. Louis was taking it easy when Boffo, he slipped over a right and staggered Louis up against the ropes. He wouldn't go more than one round and after two or three days when he wouldn't go back for the second and make $50, I told him to get out. . . . But some of the writers were there that that time he hit Louis and they wrote all about this unknown that had Joe on the voy- age of a knockout." ; In this observers' opinion, that "voyage" may be a trip to Dream- land for Jersey Joe Dec. 5. New Organization Buys St. Louis Baseball Set-Up St. Louis, Nov. 26--(AP)--Sale of St. Louis Cardinals to a syndicate Including Postmaster-General Rob. ert E. Hannegan and Fred Saigh, 8t. Louis business man, was an- nounced Tuesday President Sam Breadon. At the same time it was announc- ed in Washington that Hannegan has resigned his Federal Post, ef- fective Dec. 1. Breadon said Han- negan would be President of the new organization. The 72-year-old Breadon, long- time head of the Cardinals in the National Baseball League, sald he could not disclose the purchase price. Among the properties in the far- flung St. Louis Baseball chain is the franchise of the Hamilton Club in the Pony League. At one time St. Louis was consid- ered to have the most widespread farm system in baseball, Earlier unofficial estimates plac- ed the price at about $3,500,000, which would make it the biggest sale of its kind in history. | Winterize Your ® Winterization ® Wheel Alignment ® Brake Adjustment GIVE YOUR CAR P-O-W-E-R The Pleasure Is All Yours-- 'When Your Car's In Fine Shape!
