THURSDAY, JANUARY 8, 1948 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE or PAGE THIRTEEN Spicy Bits From Other Sports Cols. By GEORGE FORSTER Canadian Press Staff Writer Regina, Jan. 8--(CP) -- Since speed skating and its exponents are confined virtually to oblivion when it comes to catching space on the sports pages across the country un- der normal circumstances, this piece is designed to bring one of the stars of the sport to the attention of the public. The racer in question is Craig ¥ Mackay of Saskatoon, who is re. presenting Canada at the Olympic games and who is regarded as quite a man on the blades. To present Mackay, let's cut in on what is sald about him by his coach, Clarence Downey. Downey had this to say to Cam (Saskatoon Star-Phoenix) McKen- zie about the youthful skater: "I don't think there are many skaters today who will match strides with our boy over the 10,000 metre and the 5,000 metre routes. At both these distances he has been clocked in amazing times, and has consist- ently beaten American Olympic trial times in his workouts at the open air Victoria rink oval." Downey went on to tell McKenzie that Mackay, while not noted for his sprinting, still can make a "fair ~ stab" at the shorter races such as 1,500 and 500 metres, both of which are on his calendar for the Olym- pics. McKenzie adds: "The event 'that the Saskatoon g skater i serally after at the Olym- pics is the long one, 10,000 metres. But. to earn his chance to compete . in this one he has to be among the eight best skaters in the 5,000 me- tres. His coach doesn't think Craig will have any difficulty here for he expects him to take the latter event." Incidentally, McKnezie passes along the information that the Canuck skaters competing at the Olympics will wear their own skat- ing uniforms, decorated with Can- adian crests, since the Canadian Olympic Committee could not have special uniforms made in time. Adds McKenzie: "Mackay will go into competition sporting a black set of tights that match him for age. The tights are 20 years old." Sports Roundup New York, Jan. 8 -- (AP) -- Big | poi league baseball on the Pacific Coast still is a distant possibility in the opinion of a majority of the coun- try's sports editors answering the annual year-end poll conducted by {he Associated Press. . . Approxi mately 50 per cent of the editors said they favored an abrupt refusal to the Pacific Coast League's de- mands for provisional big league tus, denied by the majors at their December meetings. Eventual admission of San Fran- cisco and Los Angeles was favored by most of the others from among any one of a dozen or so different schemes, Most popular was the idea of the 10-team majors. That would involve acceptance of Los Angeles, SanFrancisco, Oakland and possibly Hollywood into the present circuits. This scheme actually was discussed | Eb! by the majors. One ingenious plan called for transfer of the two cellar franchises | In the American and National Lea- gues to Los Angeles and San Fran- cisco. Just how this would,be work- ed out remains a puszle, . . There also was a suggestion that one fran. chise each from Chicago, St. Louls, Philadelphia and Boston be moved west. Needless to say, the owners of these clubs were not consulted. . . . Add Frank Leahy of Notre Dame rumors: That he's interested in a pro football club with the idea of buying enough stock so that he wouldn't be fired as coach after a poor season, Olympic Hopes Rise After Bruins' Defeat At Hands of Ottawa Ottaws, Jan. 8 (CP).--Canada's Olympic team, R.C.A.F.

Here Pietro Taruff, driver from Rome, negotiates a slippery Red Wings Take 1st Place, Drub N.Y. Rangers 6-0 Grim news today for the hockey faithful of Montreal, long-time sup- porters of a powerful Habitants team, Their Montreal Canadiens sunk to fifth place in the National Hockey League, tonight will have to take on Detroit Red Wings, new leaders of the loop and holders of a five-straight .ng record The Wings, after long dueling with Toronto Maple Leafs for the league leadership, finally reached the top last night when they white. washed the New York Rangers 6-0 at Detroit. That victory sent Wings into a one-point lead over the idle Leafs. A Detroit win tonight in Montreal would put the Wings three points in front. But a Montreal win would put Canadiens in a tie with the baff- ling Boston Bruins for fourth place. It looks like a game for keeps as far as Canadiens are concerned, 'Baffling' Bruins Baffling is the only adjective left to describe the Bostonians, beaten by amateur teams twice in succes-s sive nights, After losing 9-2 to Ot- tawa Senators at Ottawa Tuesday, the Bruins last ight took on a re- inforced Toronto, Marlboros squad in an exhibition at Kingston for benefit of the Hockey Hall of Fame. The result: Marlboros 4, Boston 2. Only change made in the Boston line-up for the exhibitions was the substitution of veteran Mike Kara- kas in goal in place of Frankie r, | Brimsek. In the NHL. game at Detroit last night young Harry Lumley turned back 20 Ranger drives to hang up his fourth shut-out of the season, climbing into a virtual tie with Toronto's Turk Broda in the goals-against department, While the Detroit detence and Lumley were putting up a stone wall Wings' rookies helped fatten the scoring points against Sugar Jim Henry in the Ranger nets. It wasn't one of Sugar Jim's good nights, and he's had some dandies. his time rookie Don Morrison beat Henry twice within two min- utes. Rookies Jim MoFadden and Marty Pavelich also scored. Detroit's other goals came from Pete Horeck and defenceman Bill Quackenbush. Apart from it being their fifth straight win, it marked for Detroit a string of 12 games in which they've had-only one loss. As for the Boston Bruins, they appeared for the second night in a row to be out-skated and out- played most of the way by a good senior amateur club. Harry Psutka of Marlies had a fight with Don Gallinger and later with Johnny Quilty, the latter. bringing most of the players into a melee, which in- dicated that it was no tea party. Porky Dumart and Ed Harrison were the only Bruin scorers against great amateur Howie Harvey in the Siativore nets. Marlboro scorers were Hildebrand, Hassard, Buchan- an and Short. 'Whether the Bruins were fooling not, their next ent is at Detroit Saturday night. The tail- end Hawks will be at Toronto, and Rangers at Montreal. Canada's Amateur Query to be Aired At CAHA Meeting Regina, Jan. 8--(CP)--The tang. led question of Canada's Interna- tional Hockey affiliations is due for a thorough airing Friday when more than 30 top Amateur Hockey execu- tives meet here for the semi-annual meeting of the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association. Secretary-Manager George Dud- ley of Midland who represented the C.AHA. at the meeting of the In- 'ternational Ice Hockey Federation in Switzerland last summer, will re- port on the meeting where Canada alone held out for a more liberal de- inition of amateurism. The meeting will also review the troubled history of the Canadian % | Olympic team -- scheduled to sail | from New York for the winter games .| the same day as the men behind the team open their conference here. Also on the agenda for the two- day meeting are: 1. Ratification of player transfers, still a source of discontent among several clubs gnd provincial bran- 2. Review of tho agreement signed A.H.L. HOCKEY CHIPS Buffalo Bisons today are in a tie for first place in the American Hockey League's western circuit, climaxing a drive that carried them from deep in the second divi- sion to the top rung alongside Pittsburgh Hornets. Last night in Buffalo, the ram- aging - Bisons turned aside the asps 4-2 before a capaeity crowd of close to 10,000 fans. Len Halderson led the Buffalo snipers with two tallies while Murdo McKay and Leo Gravelle Bicked up one goal each. Veteran el Hill and rookie Les Costello were the Hornets scorers. The eastern loop leaders, Provi- dence Reds, found the going rough at home last night he Poin 6-5 to New Haven. Buck Davies was the Ramblers hero, ramming home three goals while Sherman White, Wingy Johnston and Joe Bell each counted once, Providence goals were divided among Harvey Fras- er, Roger Bedard, Carl Liscombe, Albert Collings and playing-coach Terry Reardon, In the only other game last night, Cleveland Barons equalled the all-time scoring high by bury- ing Hershey Bears 12-1. 0.M.H.A. Official J. P. McAvoy, Dies Port Colborne, Jan. 7--(CP)--A. P. McAvoy, second vice-president, of the Ontario Minor Hock- ey Association, died here to- day.
