PAGE TWELVE THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE SATURDAY, DECEMBER 13 1947 a Root! Root, For Papa's Team! ou The Philadelphia Rockets hockey team has two enthusiastic rooters in these two youngsters shown above. Brian Alexander Motter, almost buried beneath the goalie's pads, is the son of Al. Motter of the Rockets and Phyllis Ann Jamieson, shown taking a shot at the goal, is the daugh- ter of Rockets' right-winger, Wendell Jami full-blooded Iroquoi Indian, who played here in Oshawa with the local Junior and Senior teams for a few seasons, about ten years ago. PORT =. . NAPSHOTS cw NGF | Barrie Flyers still stand out as the toughest team in the Junior "A" ranks, when it come to playing on their home ice. They stopped the high-flying Stratford Kroehlers last night up in Barrie with a clear-cut 10-5 victory and thus cut off Stratford's victory string, which had extended to 5-straight in the past two weeks. St. Pierre was the big gun in the Barrie shooting last night, with four tallies, to make a good climb in the Junior scoring race. Cadieux and four others shared the Kroehler counters and most of the other Barrie goals were spread around also. The win keeps Barrie up in 6th place alone, for a few hours anyway, two points ahead of St. Catharines and only one lone point behind Galt Rockets--who might get. beaten in Toronto this afternoon by St. Mike's. For that matter, St. Catharines' Teepees could also win at home tonight, even against the visiting Windsor Spitfires. BY » * LJ In the two other games today, two changes in the league stand- ing can take place. Guelph Biltmores are visiting Young Rangers this afternoon and they have 7 and -6 points apiece, respectively. If Rangers win, they can move out of the cellar for the first time this season, by getting the two points that would put them one notch ahead of Guelph. In the other game, right here in Oshawa, they're playing for undisputed possession of second place. With Kroehlers losing their chance to boost their total by dropping the decision last night in Barrie, it leaves Marlboros and the Gen- erals with the job of settling their 3.way deadlock with Kroehlers, in tonight's game here. Victory tonight will give the winners 24 points and put them in second place alone. And "of course--if Spitfires lose over in St. Catharines, then the winners of tonight's game here will be tied with Windsor for first place. Yep! It makes a mighty interesting picture for this game at the Oshawa Arena tonight. j »r * * Pee-Wee, Bantam and Midget champions, both girls and boys, received their championship C.R.A. crests last night at the Community Recreation headquarters, honors won during the 1947 C.R.A.' summer sports season, , Baseball champions were rewarded with crests, girls and boys softball champs in all three divisions and also the various 47 swimming champions came in for awards. A big night that should serve as additional inspiration to other youngsters to get out there mext summer and earn a championship crest. Rightly so, most of the verbal honors were heaped upon the adult ladies and men who devoted their time and energy this past summer, to coaching and managing the young teams. Sixty-two teams operated in the various ball leagues here last summer and without the men and women who generously gave up, their leisure time to coach the teams, neither. the CR.A. or the youngsters would have much success. ' L J oo >» ® FROM OTHER SCRIBES--Rex MacLeod (Guelph) writes that his Biltmores lack team-spirit, will-to-win and that their psychological slump could be wiped out if the team had a leader "a helion on skates" who could restore the team's confidence and set the pace in victory attacks. Clayton Browne (St. Catharines) panned the Peterboro Collegiate rugby team as being over-size, over-weight and also too strong for his Garden City students and then cracked that they didn't have the proper scholastic standing to compete in the C.OS.S.A. playoffs. Cec. Purdue and the Liftlock City teachers soon denied it emphatically but Clayton hasn't seen fit yet to print a retraction--and admit that he was wrong. It's chronic with Clayton!

If so, don't whale. the tar out of him. He's apt to grow up to be a big league ball player and bring the household undreamed-of fame and fortune. Baseball is full of one-time "prob- lem children." Here's The Latest Latest will-o'-the-wisp to plague his employers is innocent-looking Paul Lehner, nimble St. Louis Brownie outfielder. To begin with, Paul would pre- fer to play barefooted just as he did while serving with the army in the South Pacific, but St. Louis officials vetoed that idea. Lehner took "French leave" of the club several times last season. Seems he got lonesome and wanted to visit friends in Toledo, the town he played in during 1946, his first season in proball. But roving Paul had plenty of precedent for his peregrinations. There was "homesick" Huck Geary, who turned out to be one of the sorest problems ever to perplex Pittsburgh Pirates. Despite the fact that the letters Pittsburgh were embroidered across the uniform he wore, Huck's heart belonged in Buffalo, N.Y, the city where he was born and raised. Twice he skipped the Bucs, explain- ing that he was "homesick." Geary ultimately drifted to the minors, where it was not reported whether he had conquered his urge to roam. Claim Kidnapped Pitcher Flint Rhem, a one-time member of St. Louis Cardinals, had a habit of disappearing, too. He All the "'Screwballs' In Baseball Aren't Delivered from the Mound created a mild storm after one ab- sence by insisting that he was kid- napped. But big league problem players aren't the only ones who leave their clubs without bothering to notify team officials, There are several other varieties, too. : Several years ago Cleveland In- dians were like a house divided. Half of the players on the team said Manager Ossie Vitt ought to be fired, and the other half insisted he should be given a raise. So much publicity did the affaire Vitt attract that it was no time at all that opposing players began tag- ging Indian players as "cry-babies." There have been an abundance of major league problem players whose chief fault was that they drank too much. Rollicking Rollie Hemsley, by his own admission, was a frequent tippler before he took the cure and became a teetotaller. Should Stick Toe This During his tenure in the big time 'Rollie was punished for his way- wardness on several occasions. Once, while serving with the Browns un- der stern Rogers Hornsby, Hemsley proceeded to knit a baby garment on a train trip between Boston and St. Louis. : Hornsby, passing down the aisle, noticed his catcher at the unortho- dox activity and asked him how come. "That's about all a guy can do on this (censored) club," snapped the rankled Rollie. "The remark will cost you $100," Hornsby replied. Hemsley, however, stuck 'to his knitting. PORT PERRY ROD, GUN CLUB DINNER IS FINE AFFAIR Port Perry, Dec. 12.--Port Perry Rod and Gun Club, and their friends spent an enjoyable and profitable evening at the Sebert House on Friday of last week. Opening the proceedings was a sumptuous dinner, where wild duck, and even turkey were served and eaten with the relish of good sportsmen. There were a number of visitors present at that dinner, including Dr. McClintock, and Mayort Robert Harris, of Uxbridge; and Messrs. McCartney and Smith of the De- partment of Lands and.Forests. Mr. Arthur Brock presided, and the program was opened with words of welcome by the chairman and a sing-song by Dr. G. M. Rennie. The Uxbridge visitors, Mayor Harris and Dr. McClintock, were called upon, and spoke briefly, com- mending the good work of the Port Perry Rod and Gun Club. Mr. John Murray spoke of local condi- tions and possibilities. Mr. McCartney, representatiye of the Department of Lands" and Forests, was the principal speaker. He gave a very informative address on fish propagation and conserva- tion. The fact that the 'lunge caught in Scugog waters in recent years are of large size (30 to 35 1bs.) showed clearly that the young spawn did not mature. Naturally this statement brought up the sub. Ject of how te get rid of the Carp. Some netting has been done; but results. have not met requirements of the case; and a more thorough campaign along this line is being planned. Something was also told about water levels--always a moot ques- tion in Port Perry. Game Warden Ben Smith gave some account of his work in this district, but gave the impression that there was not much cause for complaint, as the law was pretyt well observed. Two trophies were presented -- one by President Arthur Brock, for the largest 'lunge, annual competi- tion. The other presentation was by Mr. O. O. Hamilton, for the largest bass--annual. . Instructive pictures as to the proper use of firearms were shown Sad fishing and fish spawning pic- ures, Cy Thomas Joins Leafs For Game Against Rangers Toronto Maple Leafs start the week-end National Hockey League grind in the comforting knowledge that even if the worst comes to the worst, they'll still be on top of the standings Monday. Thats because Leafs hold a five-point advantage over Boston and Detroit, tied for" second. You think that means the Leafs are rolling along methodically and hoping nothing happens? Not so. They take every game as it comes, and theyre always figuring on the future. Managing Director Conny Smy- the is already letting slip remarks about the Leafs of 1948-49. He's not talking in detail; just keeping the pot boiling with his familiar talk of youth and strength. And if it doesn't bring any more than a "so what" from rival coaches, it at least keeps the Leafian troops on the hop. And that's the main idea. Tonight the Leafs take' on the New York Rangers, who've climbed into a fourth-place tie With Mon- treal Canadiens. That rise on the part of the New Yorkers was main- ly because they've had the Indian sign on Montreal Canadiens all sea- son, winning four out of five against Montreal and tying the other game. Rangers come to Toronto fresh from their 4-2 vic- tory at Montreal Thursday, But in Toronto the Rangers are Just another team. The Leafs have beaten Rangers three out of four The only other game tonight has Chicago Black Hawks at Detroit Red Wings. On Sunday all teams are in action, with Toronto at Bos- ton, Canadiens at Chicago and De- troit at Rangers. In the Toronto game tonight Cy Thomas is expected back in the Leaf lineup. The Edmonton rookie who was traded from Cricago had been out for nearly four weeks with a fractured wrist. Thomas will probably be working on a line with Max Bentley, another Chicago gra-. duate, and Joe Klukay, who's been going great guns at left-wing since he was partnered with Bentley.

(CP)--The fisher- man who has been going out with rod, line, hook, sinker, bait, stringer and solunar table has been forget- ting something. And it isn't a bot- tle--it's a thermometer. Frank R. Steel, who has fished from Nova Scotia to California and holds the world's record for the largest Chinook salmon ever caught, has just come out with a book-- "Bait Casting with a Thermometer (George J. McLeod)--which may revolutionize game fishing. Steel's study gives details on the water-temperature liking of four favored Canadian fish: bass, musk- ellunge, pike and pickerel. And he says they scoot for tlie proper spots, shifting as the temperature varies with wind and weather. Here are the feeding temperatures he says they like: Bass (large mouth) 65-73; bass (small-mouth) 60-70; muskie and pike 60-80; pick- erel 55-70. But, to make it not too cut-and-dtied, he goes into other angles such as water-depth and type of bottom where they convene. It's a fair bet next season's best dressed anglers will add a stream- thermometer to their get-up, that is, if "fish-finders," which haven't been in production since early in the War, can be located.

They never lost their lead as they blasted a 5-2 [irst period score and adding three unanswered tallies in the second frame, Stratford rallied, too late, in the third session, scoring three for two. Gil St, Pierre sparked Flyers' of- fensive, notching four counters. Other Barrie marksmen were Ray Gariepy, Bill Barrett Sid McNabney, Gerry Reid, Paul Meger and Bruno Favero.
