THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE - 1 % SATURDAY, APRIL 24, 1948 FRED HARDING Two popular young Oshawa scrappers who will feature the season's first boxing show, at the Oshawa Arena, next Thursday night, are shown above. Fred Harding, a spirited leather-rosser with a couple of years' good experience behind him, is always a favorite with local fans and his semi-final bout with Tony BiFulco, talented young boxer from Buffalo, N.X., who enjoys a fine reputation as a "comer", promises to be a crowd- pleaser. Doug. Stone, an Oshawa-on-the-Lake native, will be making his Oshawa debut in the squared circle but those who have seen him in training, predict a good future for him. He meets a top-notch scrapper in Johnny diAngelo, Buffalo, but is certain to give a good account of him- PORT NAPSHOTS DOUG. STONE a Tray ar cr Be --.----_ Reh TT ¥ Geo. H. | Campbell | { By BOB JELLISON Canadian Press Staff Writer, Halifax, April 24--(CP) -- Nova Stotia's archery fiends, strictly in a minority, saw their pet piece of legislation defeated on Thursday but the quiver of life remains. They'll be back again next year. The Nova Scotia Legislature, pos- sibly influenced by "A Society for the Prevention of Cruelty" delega- tion, said "no" to a proposed cut. rate price for an archery hunting li- cence to attract tourists to these deer-ridden woodlands. Deer still can be brought down with bow and arrow but you have to buy a $25 general hunting licence rather than . the $3 bargain the archers sought. Afraid of Bargain Price The Society had protested that a bargain licence would. bring extra hunters here who would uselessly destroy deer by merely wounding them and leaving them to die slow- Norman, D. Phinney of Middleton, N.S, who has been flexing a lemon. wood bow for several years now, doesn't 'agree. He said: "The Soci- ety is defeating its own purpose." "An arrow, propelled by a modern bow, has more penetrating power than a bullet from a .30-30 rifle and a deer wounded by an arrow travels only half as far, all things being equal, as a deer wounded by a bullet." He quoted figures com. piled in Michigan, where 6,500 arch- ly. ery licences were issued last year. Besides, only one deer was shot for every 30 licenses granted. "You have to stalk a deer for hours when you're depending on a bow to get within 50.yards of it," said Mr. Phinfley last night. In Other Provinces Now let's take a quick trip across the Dominion, just to see what the laws are. In Prince Edward Island, there are nenther archery laws nor deer. New Brunswick, 'Quebec:and Mani- toba are non-committal, meaning NOVA SCOTIA REFUSES CUT-RATE LICENSE FOR ARCHERS TO HUNT DEER you can hunt there if you have -a regular licence. Saskatchewan favors it but re. ports that it is rarely done. Alberta tolerates but frowns on it. In Ontario and British Columbia, archery hunting is a gonig con- cern. Two war veterans in the Pa- cific province earn their living mak. ing and selling bows to tourists, who seem to enjoy the novelty, if not the simplicity. None of the provinces provide a special archery licence.

"A" Crown -- Gibson and Birtwistle Lead Raider Uprising in Middle Frame--Thiffault Hot Again and So Was 'Rhodes (Special to The Times-Gazette) Well, they'll settle the Eastern Canada senior hockey championship this afternoon at Maple Leaf Gardens and the winners will head West to tackle Edmonton Flyers, Tonight at ML.G. Barrie Flyers will tangle with Port Arthur West-End Bruins and after that's over, a lot of fans still in doubt, will have a better idea as to where the Memorial Cup is going to be this next year. Both teams are at full strengtl, both managers are bragging that they'll depend on speed--yak, yak--and the losers will have the week-end to think up their alibi. * * For the benefit of our numerous "Old Country" sport fans--we received word just at press time, that Manchester United captured the Football Association cup today, before a crowd of 99,000 at Wembley (now that's what we would call a crowd) when they de- feated Blackpool 4-2. The losers were leading 2-1 at half-time uf couldn't hold their lead against the powerful Manchester team. * * Ld Another late bit of sport news--of interest to hockey fans: "Wally" ilson, popular Oshawa hockey star now a member of Boston Bruins, derwent an operation at Wellesley Hospital in Toronto this morning, here Dr. Galloway (Leaf's physician) removed a ruined cartilege from Wally's right knee. He was bothered all through the last half of the schedule and missed some playoff games due to the injured member, so Manager Art Ross recommended an operation, 2 L a Dolbeau Castors are the Eastern Canada Inter.

It was another sivling game, played at the same dazzling r"speed.the teams flashed in the two games here. Raiders did a little more heavy bodychecking in this game but the alert Castors kept out of their way most of the time (it says here, in French). Gibson and Birtwhistle tied it up with two quick goals at 2-2 but Dolbeaun scored two in a hurry, late in the third period, the clincher coming while they were shorthanded and Raiders were ganging with five forwards. Herbert broke away up the ice with only the goalie to beat and made it 4-2, to give Castors the series in three-straight games. »* 2 * : The full account of the game is to be found on this page.

Today, theyll get a trip other towns, Jonquiere, Chicoutimi and Arvida and will visit perld's biggest power house (in a single unit) at the new Shipshaw and Chute a Caron. The Chicoutimi junior Chamber of Com- merce presented Dolbeau Beavers with a gift, between periods last night and they had a band there, too. Beavers were "chaired" by the fans on the ice, after the game and the best of sportsmanship is dis- played in traditional fashion. Storey, of Georgetown, was cut over the eye, by Lafond's high stick in-the third period, to draw the only five- minute penalty in the entire series--and incidentally, it. was the only blood drawn in three games, by these two classy teams that excel in "clean hockey." * * + BITS OF SPORT: Here's what Guelph is doing to meet sports de- mands in that city: constructing a $300,000 artificial ice arena; in- stalling a floodlight baseball system at a_cost of $35,000 and will soon ! puild a $70,000 outdoor swimming pool.

' Most exciting game of the season in the newly erected St. Joseph d'Alma Arena, the two teams bat- tled on even terms for two periods and then the Beavers rapped in two tallles in the third frame to take the victory and title. Opening at a speedy clip, both teams played wide-open hockey, leaving plenty of work to the' rival goalies and when it was all over, Thiffault had stopped 36 George- town shots while "Dusty" Rhodes had saved 30 dead-on drives from the Dolbeau sticks. Rival Goalies in Limelight So outstanding was the work of the two netminders, that in the "3 Stars" rating, announced after the game, Jack Rhodes, the visiting custodian, earned first place and Maurice Thiffault, the Dolbeau goalie, earned the third star. The No, 2 star went to Camille Lupien, Dolbeau winger who popped two of his team's four tallies. The homesters opened the scor- ing, after a series of attacks and counter-attacks, with Fernand Bernaquez tallying behind Rhodes, on a three-way passing play that ended in a scramble, with L. Black- burn and Jack Lalancette earning assists. It proved the only goal of the period. * Three penalties during the period had no bearing on the only goal. In the determined play, George- town used thelr way in rugged fashion, bouncing the Castors heave ily but. the speedy homesters kept boring in.

Gibson scored on his mate's pass at the 11:14 mark and 52 sec- onds later the pair reversed the play to make it 2-2, The third period was a hectic session of thrills and spills, with both teams putting everything into it, at top speed and mixing in plenty of lusty bodychecking.

Opening Game Toronto, April 24--(CP) -- The Memorial Cup final series--classic of Canadian junior hockey--moves into the spotlight tonight when the first game of the best-of-seven series is played here. The long trail to the final spot- ted with countless games aad teams throughout Canada, is over. And Barrie Flyers are junior kings of the east while Port Arthur West End Bruins are monarchs of the west, Sell-Out Crowd The two clubs tangle tonight be- fore a sell-out crowd of more than 14,000 fans in the first game of the final set, for the Memorial Cup, em- blematic of Canadian junior hockey supremacy. The winner of the se- ries is anybody's guess, although Barrie occupies the favorite posi- tion. Bruins reached the final the hard way. In. their Western Canada playoffs against Lethbridge Native Sons they at one time faced a 3-1 deficit in games, but roared back to take three straight to win the series, Toronto Showing Their performance on Toronto ice against the Sons in the seventh game of the western final accorded no opportunity to assess their real worth, Bruins won that one 11-1, On the other hand, Barrie Flyers reached the final in easy fashion. They swept through their quarter- finals against Porcupine Combines and their Eastern Canada final against Montreal Nationales in straight games. Neither of the teams has ever captured the coveted cup. Flyers are a fairly: new team with only a few years of hockey under their belts, while the closest Port Arthur ever came to winning was in 1927 when they were ousted in the final by Owen Sound Greys. Western Champs To date, western teams have claimed the Memorial Cup 15 times, compared with 14 victories by east- ern clubs, Toronto St. Michael's College were last year's winners and Win- nipeg Monarchs took the trophy two years ago. Draws Sell-Out | Tigers Injuries May Mean Series For Senators Toronto, April 24.-(CP)--Ham- ilton's tired Tigers will have to rely on the wizardry of goalie Art Childs more than ever this after- nogn when they tangle with rugged Ottawa Senators in the extra sixth game of the Eastern Canada senior hockey final. Tigers will ice a crippled team for the extra game which was caus- ed by both teams garnering two victories and a tie for a five-point deadlock in the scheduled best-of- five game series. Swat Mason, spunky winger, probably will not see action against Senators. He suffered a severe charley horse in last Thursday's game at Ottawa and has had the club doctor treating him since. Veteran centre Bert Peer also will be on the sidelines. He was injured at Toronto last Tuesday and had 14 stitches taken in mouth and facial gashes, Later it was discov- ered Peer's.cheekbone was fractur- ed and X-rays also revealed dam- age to bone structure higher up. Long with these more serious in- juries, Bill Dinning and Johnny Conick are nursing dinky knees, Tommy Tindal still is jittery from a charley horse and Polly Miocino- vich is finding skating hard with an injured ankle. Senators are reported in fair shape with no players injured bad- ly enough to miss the game. Big Butch Stahan is nursing a frac- tured toe received in the first game of the series at Toronto, but likely will play with the toe frozen. The only complaint the Ottawa crew had was against the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association. Man- ager Jim McCaffrey has taken ex- ception to the C.AH.A. ruling that the winners should leave for Regina Saturday to meet Edmonton in the Allan Cup finals at Regina. "As far as I am concerned, if we win in Toronto we will return to Ottawa and won't leave for the west until Sunday night," he said yesterday at Ottawa when the club left for Toronto. McCaffrey said George Dudley, CAHA. Secretary-Manager: had telephoned him during Thursday night's game and, without asking the score, issued instructions to play not more than 10 minutes of over- time in event of a tie. McCaffrey held that although Ottawa won 9-1, Thursday night's game was just as important as this afternoon's and that ' Senators would not play more than 10 nlin- utes of overtime today. He main- tained' that Senators would not play to a finish. In such a case the clubs would play again at Ottawa Monday "or else we'll withdraw from Allah Cup | competition," C.A.H.A. Ponders NHL Proposal Pro. Contracts By VIC MORRIS, JR. Canadian Press Staff Writer Toronto, April 23--(CP) -- Offi cials of the Canadian Amateur Hoce key Association remained conceal. ed behind a cloak of secrecy today &s the National Hockey League's proposed team-player contract plan was due for a hearing before more than 100 delegates attending the three.day annual meeting of 'the C.AHA, President Al Pickard of Regina, reluctant to talk about the much- publicized plan whereby the C.A.H. A. would "ecome a professional body, said "the mater would be dis- d by the delegates today." Last night President Clarence Campbell of the N.H.L. met officials of the association in a conference behind closed doors. It was learned he urged the C.A.H.A. to accept the professional plan "for the good of hockey." Campbell's plan would give $5,000 to amateur clubs for each amateur player signed by major league clubs. The money, payable by the N.H.L. to senior teams binding players to a contract, would be in addition to $3,- 500 assured by the American Hoc- key League. The N.H.L. annual grant of $31,« 000 to the C.A.H.A. would automati. cally be eliminated if the new plan is adopted. During a banquet last night Wil- liam Northey of Montreal, W. A. Hewitt, Toronto and Claude Robin. son, Vancouver were presented with scrolls by Captain Jim Sutherland of Kingston, signifying their accept- ance into hockey's Hall of Fame. Geotge Dudley, Secretary-Mana- ger of the C.AH.A. reported that more than 56,000 players had en- rolled with the association in Cana- da an increase of 7,500 over the pre. vious year. He also said the associ- ation showed a -bank balance of $137,571. A stormy session between British Columbia and Quebec delegates arose yesterday when the Quebec group sponsored a 'proposal that ju. nior hockey teams be prohibited from transferring players from one provincial branch to another. B. C. delegate Jerry Thompson said "if this proposal is accepted it will mean the end of amateur hock- ey in British Columbia." The proposal was returned to the resolution committee for further study. On Sunday the delegates their families will visit Falls, Ont. and Niagara ° TOP TROTTERS ENTERED Westbury, N.
