-~ Cr mer r remy PAGE TEN THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE } / WEDNESDAY, APRIL 7, 1948 BY Geo. H. Campbell PORT NAPSHOT from the Oshawa Skating Club's "Ice Frolics of 1048," which made its initial bow to Oshawa spectators last night, are that the 48 show is the best ever presented here. Andra McLaughlin's unique skating style, something on the terrific side, made a great hit with the audience, Fans who attend tonight's show are fortunate--they are in for an "added attraction." Marilyn Ruth Take, 1947 Canadian senior ladies' champion and member of the Canadian 1948 Olympic skating team, is expected to be in Oshawa tonight and if she arrives, she has already consented to make a guest appearance on the program. They haven't had a complete sellout for tonight's big show, although the demand has been exception- ally brisk. This means that if you want to take in this 1948 ice show at the Oshawa Arena, you can be sure of a seat, although at noon today only about 300 seats remained. : i + + * x Canada's RCAF Flyers, 1948 Olympic hockey champs, arrived in New York yesterday and were given a tremendous welcome, batteries of cameras; movie and flash variety. They were given a great ovation at the Canadian Club also, where they were dinper guests, They arrive in Ottawa today where they'll be given a gredt welcome. Then they play their exhibition game and get two weeks' leave-of-absence, before returning to their RCAF and civilian duties, +» * + Bill Snider, secretary of the Ontario Baseball Association for 22 y2ars, has been given an acclamation for the secretary-treasurer's post. He was president five times, besides having been treasurer for five years and secretary for 23 years (this will be his 23rd year), so at least it is conceded that he has had experience. The OBA annual meeting is at London, on April 17 and we note that outside of our friend J. J. Turner of Peterboro and Ken Colling of Belleville, who are nominated for exe- cutive posts--all the official berths appear headed for western Ontario-- mostly Hamilton and Chippewa. + + +» Barrie Flyers are a bit annoyed at the long lay-off they have been forced to accept, after eliminating "Porkies" in that rather useless series, two weeks ago. They sat while Montreal Nationales did the same and Inkerman played off with Halifax St. Mary's. Now the Nationales are playing with Halifax. The first game last night resulted in a 4-2 win for the Nationales. We saw both teams early this season, competing in the Montreal SPA series and we rather think that Montreal's French-Canadian team, Nationales, can win this series, but they'll have more than they can handle when they tangle with Barrie less the long lay-off has deprived Barrie Flyers of a bt of their finish and speed. This is a 2-out-of-3 series and they play again tomorrow night in Montreal, with the third game, if necessary, on Saturday. Meanwhile, local hockey fans and junior fans throughout the Dominion, have raised their eyebrows at the defeat of Port Arthur Bruins 6-1 by the Lethbridge team. Maybe they've got a real "dark horse" there--or perhaps Bruins tock things too lightly and didn't figure on the handicap of the long trip. * * +» Ottawa Senators didn't take long to even up their series with Vic- toriaville. After losing rather badly on Sunday, they roared back to take a 12-1 victory last night and even it up. They'll go through the motions of a third game but that's all it will be. Up this way, Hamilton Tigess are waiting for Ottawa Senators to finish it up and .then -they'll start their Eastern Canada senior final series. The way things are going-- they'll be playing the Allan Cup finals at the end of this month--or maybe even in May. However, they'll start the Stanley Cup finals tonight in Toronto and that's at least something. And we don't care very much whether Andy Lytle did get Red Wings into Toronto several hours be- fore the train that bore them--or for that matter, whether Jim Coleman did unsheath hig harpoon this morning and launch it vigorously in the direction of "The Star." First thing "Jimbo" knows--Andrew will buy himself a race-horse and give Mr. Coleman's sport-writing son a real licking, right where it hurts most. * * * FUTURE GAMES: Thursday night at the Arena, the City League has been postponed for another week, as the Markham Millionaires will hold forth for what could be the last time against Georgetown Raiders. Raiders lead the Inter, "A" OHA final series three games to one and need only the win here Thursday night . . . Thorold and Gananoque will play a Junior "C" final deciding game here before the week is out. * * * SPORTS SHORTS--Bucko McDonald's Sundridge Beavers waltzed through the Acton entry in the firsi game of their final series for the OHA Intermediate "B" series . . .

For that rea- son alone, Montreal Nationales to- day hold the whip hand in the Eas. tern Memorial Cup semi-final and need but one more triumph to put them in the Eastern finals against Barrie Flyers. Last night, the Nationales, Que. bec champs, downed Halifax St. Mary's 4-2 and the score would have been doubled except for the spectac- ular goal-tending of Ernie Yeadon between the St. Mary's pipes. Yea- don kicked out 42 shots, many of them from close range, as the Ma- ritime champions' defence complete. ly fell apart. Tre Montrealers ran up a 3.0 lead in the opening period on goals by Jacques Richard, Claude Robert and Claude Dolbec. Eddie Cyr made it 4-0 early in 'the middle canto but Doug McNeil bulged the twine for the ccasiders before the end of the period to make it 4-1. St. Mary's scored the only goal o. the final »eriod, Bob Reardon turning the trick. HALIFAX ST.

The bill specifically prohibits shooting or molesting moose while the animals are swimming. Deer are already protected in this way. One of the recommendations made to the committe on game was incorporated in an amendment to the game and fisheries act. It provides that the use of metal seals as well as coupons for shipping game is mandatory. When a moose is killed under a licence, the seal must be attached immediately, In the case of a deer, the seal must be affixed before shipping. Dogs are prohibited in taking muskrat and the carrying of guns is forbidden balf an hour before sun- rise and the same period after sun- set unless unloaded and encased or dismantled. Mr. Scott introduced a new forest fires prevention act which clarifies provisions regarding creation of fire districts, travel permit areas and closed areas. Native Sons Win Stuns Port Bruins Lethbridge, Alta. April 7--(CP) --Port Arthur West .End Bruins were convinced today they still have a good chance to win the Western Canada junior hockey title despite the walloping they took from Lethbridge Native Sons in the first game of the finals. Although somewhat stunned by the 6-1 Lethbridge victory Monday, the Lakeheaders figured they have a 50-50 chance of winning the sec. ond game of the best of-seven ser. ies here tonight. Coach Eddie Lauz- on reported no injuries in the Port Arthur camp. Hockey observers here have com- mented the Port Arthur club was over-rated by sports writers and hockey officials alike and Native Sons, have been under.rated. Barbara Ann Ready to Listen Hollywood Offers Toronto, April 7--(CP)--Barbara Ann Scott, world and Olympic fig. ure skating champion, said yester- day she is ready to listen to what Hollywood has to offer. But this did not necessarily mean she was throwing her hat in the professional ring. Passing through Toronto on her way to a skating carnival at South Porcupine, Ont, Miss Scott said she would listen to any offers "to see if there are any that sound in- teresting." "What I mean is that I am put- ting myself in the position of con- sidering professional offers," she explained. "Up to now, to guard my amateurism, I haven't even been able to discuss it with any- body." "I don't know whether I am do- ing the right thing or not," she said, "But I thought it might be worth while to hear what people have to say." "Do you think you will lose your amateur standing?'* she was asked. "I suppose I will," As for Hollywood, she said: "I still haven't made up my mind defi- nitely but I think it would be nice to see, in black and white, what offers, if any, will result." Leafs And Wings At Top Strength Toronto, April 7 -- (CP) -- De- | troit Red Wings and Toronto Maple {Leafs were both reported at full | the opener tonight in hockey's for the Stanley Cup. The same two teams clashed for the National Hockey League cham- pionship at the close of the league schedule, and Leafs won the title by beating Detroit twice. Over the whole season, Leafs won six, tied between them. Byt season records don't count when the chips are down in the final. The Wings reached here late last night, and the Leafs came into town today after enjoying a rest at St. Catharines since beating Bos- ton Bruins here Saturday night. In their semi-finals, Toronto eli- minated Boston by four games to one, and Detroit eliminated New York Rangers by four games to two. The Leafs took it easy in their stay at St. Catharines with only a light practice yesterday. The re- serves they've brought up from the minors however, were given a stiffer workout.. These recruits for the big series include Howie Har- vey, Phil Samis, Don Metz, Les Costello, Bob Dawes and Fleming Mackell. Leafs' 10th forward for to- night's game will be chosen from Dawes, Costello and Mackell. Wings had no pre-game an- nouncements to make, apparently sitting tight on the line-up that ousted Rangers. After tonight's game Wings will move to Hamilton to await the second game here Sat- urday night. Sundridge Blasts Actonites 12-6 Barrie, April 6 (Special)--Bucko McDonald's Sundridge Beavers séa= ged a whirlwind finish here tonight to overpower Acton, 12 to 6, in the first game of a best.if-flve series for the OHA intermediate "B" championship. All games will be played on Barrie ice, with the sec- ond game scheduled Thursday eve. ning and the third on Saturday. H. Christie and Russell paced the Beavers with three 'goals apiece while Wheeler and Kidd each bag- ged a pair. McDonald and Laing were the other snipers. I. Marzo was the Acton scoring ace with a three. goal effort also. { STARR ASCENDANT New York--Maxle Starr, Baltimore, won an eight-round split decision from Jimmy Warren, 136%, New York, before a sellout crowd of 4800 at the Broadway Arena, For Fray Tonight. strength today as they prepared for | world series, the best-of-seven final | four and lost two of the 12 games | 139, | disclosed Apps' salary was $5,000 . . .

Flyers left for the Olympic hockey wars a few months ago to day had a resounding welcome ready for the returning conquerors of. the 1948 Olympic championship, Flags and banners which have lain idle since the tremendous homecoming reception accorded Barbara Ann Scott last month were fluttering again in downtown Ote tawa and noon-hour crowds were on hand to extend the glad hand to the "Cinderella team" which won 32 and tied five of its 42 Overseas games. It was a great day for the R.C. AF. with Defence Minister Claxton and Air Marshal W. A. Curtis, Chief of Air Staff, heading the welcoming committee. For the last week, every available airman, in Ottawa had been drilling for the striumphal parade from Union Sta- tion to the Beaver Barracks where the team lived during its Canadian training period, Large numbers of friends and relatives of the Flyers, many of whom come from the Ottawa dis- trict, were on hand to cheer as the team, travelling in open auto- mobiles, threaded a route similar to that taken through downtown Ot- tawa by Barbara Ann Scott a month ago. Following a brief meeting with "scrambled egg" department and a few minutes to greet their | relatives, the Flyers program calle ed for a "march past" at defence headquarters on: Elgin Street and an informal luncheon at 'the' bar- racks. An official dinner reception will be held Friday night at the R.C.AF. officers' mess. The Flyers wind up their career Saturday night with an exhibition contest at Ottawa Auditorium against a group of N.HL. and Quebec Senior Hockey | League all stars. Proceeds of the | game will go to the Canadian Ap- | peal for Children. * The team will then disband, its members returning to various air force posts throughout the domin- ion or to their civilian employment, Stahan, Mathers; centre, Emberg; wings, Smart, Greene; alternates, Copp, Trainor, McLean, Irvine, Tu- din, Check, Smith, Daganalis.
