President Clarence Campbell for the past ten days, was home in Oshawa yesterday. The idol of Oshawa General hockey rooters of only a decade ago, while obviously perturbed, would make no statement as to the outcome f the investigation. "I may make a statement, after the findings have been announced," he declared, to us in a private interview. Billy declared that he was home in Oshawa to clear up some business mat (he recently opened a sporting goods and electrical store here) and that"he had asked permission from his club (N.Y. Rangers) and the permission had been granted. a+ £3 indsor Spitfires opened up the O.H.A, Junior "A" finals with a do ory last night on their home ice, as they battled the Barrie Flyers in a hard-fought game, According to the press report from Windsor, Barrie outplayed the Spitfires for most of the first two periods, but we note that Gord. Haidy came through with two timely goals, to tie the score and then put Spits in front 3-2, early in the second stanza. The homesters got the only goal of a hard- fought third period, when Barrie opened up in a desperate bid to tie it up. They go back at it again tomorrow night on Barrie ice and by the looks of it, the Flyers are going to give Spitfires quite a sun for their money. Flyers couldn't have been too fresh on Monday night, after playing two tough playoff games with Galt Rockets on Friday and Saturday and then having to travel to Windsor. Spit- fires and Flyers are going to give their hometown fans a lot of hectic hockey in this series and it might quite easily prove one of the most interesting Junior O.H.A. finals in several years, with two "new clubs trying for the coveted honor. LJ L * . Other playoff action last night saw the Hamilton Tigers come from behind a 2-0 deficit to beat out Kitchener-Waterloo Flying Dutchmen 4.2, in the opening game of the Senior "A" finals.

Campbell arranged to report to Governor Kim Sigler at 9:30 a.m. EST, on the result of an investigation he started a week sgo. Thus far the hockey official has kept mum on the progress of his inquiry, He was given confidential infor» mation by the Detroit Police Com- missioner, Harry S. Toy, upon Sigler's orders and promised a thorough independent investiga=- tion. At the time, Campbell said the evidence "undoubtedly" warranted expulsion from hockey of at least two un-named players. - The alleged betting by hockey players came to light with the ar- rest of James Tamer, convicted gambler and bank robber. Toy reported then that a member of Boston Bruins and a member of New York Rangers had engaged in telephone conversations with Tam- er regarding bets on League games, However, all players on both clubs have. denied any knowledge of the alleged bets.

Those "'Tabbies" Are In Again-- OHA Sr. Final Hamilton, March 9--(CP)--That old refrain of "You're An Old Smoothie" once again may be ap- plied to the veteran Hamilton Tig- ers, whose smooth passing and team play may take the Senior | "A" Ontario Hockey Associationn | Championship erown for the fourth | straight season. This year's edition | of "The Jungle Tribe" is a little younger, much cleaner and still powerful, The much-used term "Old Men of the Mountain" still can be ap- plied to them but with a little less accuracy as a few new younger face : have turned up in that fami- liar. and once-grubby yellow-and- black upholstery, and a few older players haue either retired or transferred allegiance. The Tigers, wao gained nation- wide fame twe years ago by not washing their underwear for luck, are seeking the O.H.A, title. Hav- ing disposed of the youthful To- ronto Marlbotos, they now are locked in a duel with Kitchener- Waterloo Flying Dutchmen for the League crown, At the close of the 1946-47 cam- paign, after being ousted from the Allan Cup hunt by Montreal Roy- als, most of the old-timers on the squad announced their retire- ment. But when training was call- ed, they came running as veterans like Art Childs, Clare Shillington, "Swat" Mason, Bert Peer, Frankie Liscombe, Bill Dinning and the Conick brothers--Ab and Johnny-- couldn't resist the puck lure. Other veterans like Dougie Run- ions and Dillon Brady transferred to other clubs or retired. The best newcomers were spind=- ly-legged pivot man Tommy Tin- dal and Tom Smelle from Hamilton Pats, and Carl Smelle, who applied for his amateur standing after a fling in the United States League. The Tigers, veterans as they were, proved their worth as a smooth, picture-passing crew by ending the reguldr season in first place, nine points ahead of Marl- boros. TIGERS TAKE FIRST GAME SENIOR FINAL Hamilton defeated Kitchener- Waterloo Flying Dutchmen by the same 4.2 score to win their first game of the best of seven senior finals. Hamilton Tigers had to from behind a one.goal deficit in the first period when Kitchener led 2.1. The Tigers snired the lone | two mddle.period goals and added | another in the third, Hamilton hadn't been on ice for a week before the game because of lack of ice and this affected them in the initial session as they were outskated by the Dutchmen. From that period on the Tigers took over and had a distinct edge in play, al- though three of their markers were scored while the Dutchmen were shorthanded. Clare Shilling- ton, playing with his neck heavily bandaged because of the cut he re. ceived in their last game with Marlboros, was Hamilton's top scor. er with two, Johnny Conick and Tecmmy Smelle getting the others. Art Hurst and Dick Behling were the two Kitchener marksmen. Wednesday sees the second game Yes . .. after a DON'T FORGET... YOUR SPRING CHECK-UP Be Sure Your...
