MAY 3. 194 1 Sr ----- a PORT NAPSHOTS Port Arthur Bruins captured the Memorial Cup for the 1947-48 sea- son at Maple Leaf Gardens on Saturday night when they eked out a 918 victory over the Barrie Flyers, in the highest-scoring four-game series ever played in Memorial Cup history. We haven't all the scoring records at hand but we'll venture that there never has been as many ..goals scored in four games of a Dominion junior final. They scored 18 in the first game, nine in the second, nine in the third and 17 more on a; ht, for a total of 53 goals in four games. And they played ; ory ay ute of fans, too, with the individual games coming out in such "a way that the interest of the fans was maintained.

Ports made it 7-6 with two goals while Gariepy was off--but the fault was in the Barrie strategy, for with a man short, they were still carrying the puck into Port Arthur territory--not in one or two-man rushes but with three and even four men up past the redline. Mr. Emms couldn't blame the referees for these tactics. Then Garipy got back for about 20 seconds and promptly boarded a player, to draw a minor penalty and Bruins tied the score while he sat out the other penalty. Play- ing almost all the last seven minutes a man short was too much for Flyers and that's why they lost a game they had practically clinched. + The deciding game of th * * \ net--and Strachan of Barrie ific in front of the Bruins were terr Port Arthur players were ex- ery ordinaly game in spots.

Gariepy deserved his five-minute major, for it was deliberate and he lost the game when he came back on the ice and promptly drew another penalty. We figure coach Emms didn't make the best bid pos- sible either to protect his three-goal lead. However, Barrie Flyers went down trying hard, they came back to tie it up at 8-8 and with a break hile Port Arthur served a couple of cheap or two could have won it, Wl 4 ) penalties, that looked like "evening it up."

The Canadian Press) -- The Ontario Sports Federation Sunday announced at Toronto it will not recognize the National Hockey League suspension of Don Gallinger of Boston Bruins and Billy Taylor of New York Rangers, thereby leaving both players eligible for amateur softball or baseball in Ontario. In Gallin- ger's case the action clears the way for him to join Waterloo Tigers in the Intercounty Baseball League.

West End Bruins To Memorial PORT ARTHUR WINS CANADIAN TITLE IN OVERTIME Pa L 4 March Cup Triumph Score Tied Up 5 Times in Bitterly Contested Fin- al Game -- Guarda Is Given Match Miscon- duct for "Pushing" Refereé -- Emms Dis- gruntled at Officiating Lewicki Is Hero for Champs By GEORGE TATHAM Canadian Press Staff Writer Toronto, May 3 -- (CP) -- Com. ing from behind, a favorite method often employed by Barrie Flyers, was used by a rugged band of Port Arthur West End Bruins here Sat- urday night -- against the same Flyers -- to bring the. Lakehead crew their first Memorial 'Cup. Tne Bruins, who invaded Toronto two weeks ago and sihce have won the Western Canada Hockey cham- pionship and now Canada's top ju- nior hockey award, were given a bat- tle all the way Saturday, winning their fourth straight game of the best-of-seven final series 9-8 in ov. ertime. Waltz Tempe They previously waltzed through the first two games, 10-8 and 8-1, and took a 5-4 victory in the third contest. ' Saturday's game featured by high sticking, bone-shaking body checks and a player attack on an official, was the hottest of the series, both from a player's and a fan's stand. point. , Barrie and Bruins with the Cup within fore a winner was decided. Over 13,000 fans crowded the Ma- ple Leaf Gardens for the game which had Bruins quoted as 3-1 odds. The bettors got their money's worth in the first period -- it end- ed 3-1 for the favorites -- but from there on in it was anybedy's game as the lead changed several 'times. Comeback Tried Barrie roared back in the second period with three counters, only to have Bruins knot the score at 4- all at the break. Flyers took control again in the third period with three consecutive goals in little more than four minutes. With time running out, little more than five minutes remaining, Bruins clicked for three to even the count and send the game into overtime. It was in the overtime period that frayed tempers took command and Barrie Coach Hap Emms' contempt of the officials was shown. Dave Creighton, leading goal-getter of the night with four, rapped home the first tally at 2.52 when both teams were at full strength. Guarda Unguarded At the four-minute mark referee Vic Lindquist of Winnipeg was rush- ed by Alf Guarda of Barrie when the official called a penalty against Fly. -er Sid McNabney. Guarda threw several punches at the official be- fore the two were separated by players. Guarda was given a match mis- conduct penalty while Ray Mayer drew a misconduct and McNabney a minor. Emms' team refused to con- tinue play. After several minutes of booing and program-throwing by the fans, the referees issued an ul. timat®im -- either Barrie ice a team within two minutes or the game would go to Bruins, Barrie iced a team -- with seconds of the alloted time remaining. Whit Mousseau's goal less than four minutes after Creighton's while Bruins had the man advan- tage, put the teams even again. ~ Marathon Ends Finally, at 8.37, Port Arthur took the lead on Danny Lewicki's game- winning goal. An extra forward re- placed the Barrie goalie for the last 47 seconds to no avail, the marath- on contest ending two hours and 55 minutes after play commenced. Barrie's Jerry Reid followed Lew. icki in the scoring parade, the cen- tre turning in a three-goal hat- trick in the third period. Bart Bradley notched two goals for the victors as did Lewicki with Alfie Childs scoring the other Bruin goal. : Ra; Mayer bagged a brace for the losers with McNabney, Guarda and Mousseau scoring singles.

And the contest might. well be the first of a five-game go for Canada's sen- jor amateur hockey championship instead of a best-of-seven series tied- 1.1. Supporters of both claim that in the game which their team lost it wasn't up to its usual playing form. Edmonton captured the first at Re- gina 6-3 while Senators copped the second here Saturday 3-2. The players are as confident as their backers, Senators in particular being in high spirits. Coach George Boucher said last night he planned no Oftawa line-up changes. Flyer Pilot Frank Currie was not so de. finite. Saturday's game was the roughest on Edmonton ice this season as both club's lived up to press notices of being fast and hard hitting. ° Senators scored first Saturday when Lude Check broke away from an Edmonton power play to #ail in on goalie Al Rollins and beat him with a 10-foot drive. Toronto, May 3 (CP)--At least three strong contenders for berths on Canada's Olympic boxing team are expected to emerge from the Central Ontario championships to be held here May 6-7 under spon- sorship. of the Amateur Athletic Union of Canada. The winners will qualify for the Olympic trials at Montreal, May 27.28. The welterweight class will have 49 entrants, 12 hattling for the 147- pound title. Top .favorite is Billy Goulding, of Oshawa, with Mike Za- duk of Guelph, Gus Rubicini of Toronto and Bill Antonnes of Tim- mins close behind. In the flyweight class, Joe Bru- nett and Fred Bumbacco of Sault Ste. Marie and Real Gauthier of BILLY GOULDING, FRED HARDING OSHAWA'S OLYMPIC TRIAL HOPES Timmins are expected to offer Toronto's Frankie Morris strong competition. Glenn Ray of the Sank and Fred Harding of Oshawa e. Billy Graham, Mickey Kavanaugh and Ron Bass of Toronto are fav- ored over Ernie Kehler of Guelph, Morley Ostertag of Sault Ste. Marie and Maurice Duciame of Timmins, in the featherweight division. Er- nie Majury of Toronto and Mike Garcia of Guelph are expected to be finalists for the F35-pound title. Only two: entries have been re- ceived for the - 175-pound class. Frank Dohaney, Maritime intercol- legiate champion now living in Peterborough, is favored over Stan Guignard of Callender and Les Ir- win and Bruce (Butch) McCallum of Toronto. Topper and Vets Open Beach Loop With Close Wins Tip Tops and Navy Vets got stride Saturday doing the honors with a sizzling backhander from 20 feet in front, tied in the second at 1-1. Little Billy Maher gave Flyers their only lead shortly after when he fired a shot that Bill. (Legs) Fraser pulled into his own net. away in victory afternoon, but they were extended to the limit before fashioning one- run verdicts on the Beaches Major Fastball League's inaugural pro- gram, A huge opening crowd saw the Tailors mip Peoples, 2 to 1, in te opener, while Navy edged out a 3-2 decision over Robertson Mo- tors in the later issue. Hurler 'Tommy Stewart and cen- tre fielder Vic Goberts were the heroes for Tip Tops. Stewart held the hard-hitting Jewellers to three scattered safeties, one of which was Red Gilbert's home run, Go- beris provided most of the offen- sive punch, his second inning home run sending the Tailors away to an early lead. He opened the sixth with a double and scored the win- ning run on Fred Kennedy's single. Murray Dowey hurled well for Peoples, but his mates couldn't muster the necessary hitting strength to back him up. In the second game, errors at crucial moments played a large part, Howard Malabon tossed a neat game for the Tailors, errors being responsible for both the runs Edmonton, -with Andy Clovechok Less than eight minutes later Ot- tawa evened the count at 2-2 when Jack Irvine slapped home Tudin's rebound. Play slowed perceptibly in early minutes of the third session and Flyers exploited two Senator penal. ties to give Fraser a hot time. Then Bud Macpherson, went off for tripping and it was Ottawa's turn to put on pressure. They got nowhere until the puck slid out to Frank Mathers. He took a couple of steps then blasted a low one that leaked through three Edmonton players before beating Rollins. Flyers tried to press in the last few minutes but lost all hope when Captain Gord Watt was sent off with less than two minlites left.

The decision was unanimous. 2 Heavy Browns Biggest Trout Reported Here In the Oshawa district, fishermen found the waters to be running high and a little muddy, in just about perfect weather for the open- ing day of the trout season. - With the weather conditions thus, it is not unusual for the trout to lie low and the fisherman's creel to be the lightest piece of equipment that he is carrying after a long day on the stream. But Saturday it was different in this district, for the trout seemed con- tent to stay in the shade and bite at the dew worms that were the most used bait of the day, Catches from the limit down were reported, with Speckles, Browns and Rainbows ranking in that or- der of quantity, but the Brownies as usual holding top spot in weight and length. Best, catch of opening day re- ported was by Ron Lambert, of 481 Masson Street, Oshawa, who be- sides landing plenty of Speckled beauties, brought home from north of Port Hope, the two biggest Brown seen around here for quite a while, they were 21 and 23 inches long and weighed 3 pounds 15 ounces and 3 pounds 4 ounces. Other catches by other Oshawa fishermen were just about as grati- fying to them, and everyone seemed to report better than average open- ing day catches.
