» THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE FRIDAY, MAY 7, 1948 'RAGE TWELVE \ Qut "Where Men Are Men," etc nN Another of Oshawa's "world travellers", as their friends are now dubbing 'em; is shown above. This gent accompanied "Dutchy" Turner early this spring o na safari into Mexico and as can be readily seen, got in a little training for the Oshawa Rodeo of 1950. Note the six-shooter snugged into the holster, "a little to the front", like the real bad-men of the West used to wear 'em. He looks a little Hke "Jack Holt" of movie fame -- they used to call him that a few years back, before the hair went back -- but he's riding that bucking piebald (very bald, note) with the reckless dar- ing of a true "man of the saddle". When not bronco-busting, he's making empty ones into full ones down at Hambly's "coke" plant. If you haven't tagged him--we'll tip you off--it's old "Dry Gulch" himself-- Jack Hambly '@QPORT NAPSHOTS The "Sport Snapshots $5.00 Club," total proceeds to the Kinsmen Civic Stadium fund, was launched yesterday as an opportunity for the readers of "Sport Snapshots" to show whether or not they really are "sport fang' and want to help boost for a floodlighted stadium in their city. Before the ink was dry, the club membership and fund had doubled. Murray Johnston (Lleut.-Col. M. P. Johnston by full title) becomes No. 2 member. "Muri" has had a lengthy career in local sports circles, being a keen sport enthusiast now, after having served his time as a secretary of the Oshawa Hockey Club, back in the late "twenties." Rugby is his favorite game and he was one of the originals and organiz- ers of the Oshawa General Motors "Blue Devils" Football Club," that brought several ORFU titles to Oshawa. He was a standout middle- wing in uniform and out of his moleskins, he took time as "The Dopesters" to write the breezy "Punts 'n' Tackles" grid column that was so interesting to football fans in those days. Murray issues a warning to a gang of his old "Blue Devils" clubmates that they'd better "join up or he'll take up the Dopester's pen again and that'll serve 'em right. Ckay--who's next? BY Geo. H. Campbell * * + The news yesterday that the famous old Central Ontario Base- ball League has been re-crganized, after a lapse of about 11 years (not 13), has been greeted with mingled feelings here. Most of the baseball boys feel that if Oshawa was to have an "adult team" (first local baseball club since 1940) they might as well play in the COBL as in the Lakeshore League, since they would be classed as seniors by the OBA when playoff time rolls around, regardless. The odd one expressed the thought that for Oshawa and Peterboro to pull out of the Lakeshore Intermediate League, after that body was good enough to take them in, in order to give them a place to play, is an unfair move. However, this may be a favor to the Lakeshore League since such teams as Whithy and Newcastle may feel that they can compete now against Bowmanville, Port Hope and Cobourg, where they didn't feel like crossing "willows" with the larger cities. * Ld &* Don Thomas, new president of the COBL, will be remembered by local baseball fans as a former umpire from Belleville. He knows the game and should make a good leader. With the secretary-treasurer also from Belleville, there can be less license for any of the four teams to criticize the ruling--since Belleville dezs not have a team in the new loop. Oshawa Merchants are booked to play an exhibition game tomor- row against the Oshawa Hunters junior team, but the weatherman is expected to spoil that intention, The COBL opener is on Satur- day, May 22, with Kingston coming here. The Yocals will have four trips to Kingston, but they've already arranged for these games to be on Friday nights, since they are floodlight engagements and necessarily "late" affairs. Most of the locals will noi have to work on Saturday morning. Coach "Moose" Matthews hasn't got around to making his team selections yet, although he's getting them weeded out gradually. We expect him to name his roster within the next few days. * Ld -* While the weatherman will have the final say of course, we should remind local cricket enthusiasts that they have a. practice game scheduled for their "pitch" at Lakeview Park tomorrow after- noon, The "Thirty Club," now the "social section" of the Oshawa Curling Club, holds its fourth amnual bridge tournament to- morrow afternoon at Masonic Temple, with the finals for the "champ hip" and trophi tomorrow evening. The weatherman will not be able to stop this event with a little rain, so all members and others interested are invited to be on hand. * »* + SPORTS SHORTS--Toronto Leafs failed to come through in the last of the ninth last night, and so it was just another 108s for the club. It moves the Fleet Street squad back into a tie with Baltimore Oridles in the second to the last spot. Maybe they will start to move up in the warmer weather when their pitchers should be in better form, but and this seems moré likely to a regular watcher of the Leafs, they will probably stay right where they are in the standings . . . The surprising men of Connie Mack are showing more potency than any other team in their loop, and have taken over the first place position again. They hit the Cleveland Indians well enough to grab an 8-5 win. Dick Fowler, the Canadian boy, was the winning hurler for the Athletics. Strangely enough the loser was one Rapid Robert Feller. Yoiks! . , , Billy Evans of the Detroit Tigers says there is-absolutely no truth in the report that outfielder Dick Wakefield was to be loosed from the Cats fold. . . . Twenty one years ago today Portsmouth edged into the English Foot- ball League's first division by 1/5,000th part of a goal. Climaxing a great promotion fight with® Manchester City, Portsmouth blanked Preston North End 5-0 while the City walloped Bradford City, 8-0 in final games. Although tied in points, Portsmouth gained major-league ranking with a bétter goal average, L 3 oo * SCISSORED SPORT -- (By The Canadian Press) -- Hockey's Bill Ezinicki is seriously considering becoming a professional golfer, ity was learned at Toronto. Barring a last-minute change of mind the Toronto Maple Leafs' rugged right-winger will make his debut in the money ranks at a 72-hole open tournament in Philadelphia next week. Wild Bill in past years has developed into one of Canada's outstanding amateur golfers. In the Canadian amateur championships last year he was beaten in the final round by the top-ranking United States star, Frank Strapahan. If he turns pro, he plans to follow the United States summer circuit of open tournaments . . . The Massachusetts Boxing Commission Thursday at Boston launched an investigation of reports that middleweight Johnnie Walker of Everett, was stimulated by lighted matches against his back during a pro bout in Salem Tuesday night. Commissioner S8amuel Flaksman said Walker, his manager, Joe Dow of Boston, referee Tom Lannin, and boxing commission deputies have been summoned before the board . , . President C, J, Warner of the Western ' Score Strong Matches Continue Today to Narrow Down Field -- Zaduk and Rubicini May Prove Toughest Opposition for Gould- ing -- Harding Meets Males in Final Olympic hopefuls eliminated in last night's bouts, 27 others will slug it out today for the honor of representing Central Ontario in the Canadian Olympic boxing finals in Montreal. Billy Goulding and Fred Harding two of Oshawa's most promising young boxers entered the Olympic trials of the Central Ontario divi- sion, and succeeded in making very good showings. Goulding fighting in the welter- weight preliminaries scored a sec- ond round TXK.O. over Johnny Stewart of Toronto in the same hard body punching style that made such a hit with the fans here last week. ' Goulding last year was troubled with an eye injury and had to miss the trials, but this year he appears headed for the finals with the big obstacles in the form of Mike Za- duk of Guelph and Gus Rubicini of Toronto. Fred Harding took no time at all to .show his superiority over Ron Donald of Gananoque, scoring with his: bang bang punch early in the first round to win by a K.O. Harding is fighting in the ban- tamweight class in the semi-finals, and will now meet Max Males in the finals for the championship. Males defeaetd Glenn Ray of Sault Ste, Marie on a referee's decision, Many of last night's fighters were outclassed in their matches but all gave it the college try. Referees ended six of the fights by awarding technical knockouts. Two others ended in knockouts. Gus Rubicini, Toronto welter- weight, battered out a decision over Mike Zaduck of Guelph. By win- ning this even slug-fest, Rubicini goes to the third round of the divi- sion, having scored an earlier tech- nical knockout. Zaduck, on the can- vas in the second round, ended the fight still swinging haymakers. Bob Edgett, Toronto light-heavy, will meet Harold Quinlan of Bar- rie in the finals of the 175-pound class today. Quinlan drew a bye in the first round. Although no heavyweights fought last night, four will battle today. Two are Stan Guignard of Callen- der and Frank Dohaney of Peter- borough. Of 12 welterweights four remain in the tournament. They are: Billy Goulding of Oshawa, Doug Pea- cock of Barrie, Billie Antonnes of Timmins and Rubicini. Four fights are scheduled in the flyweight class. Competitors include two Sault Ste. Marie boys, Joe Brunette and Fred Bumbacco. Of four remaining feather- weights, Ernie Keleher of Guelph will see his first action in the tournament today. {Results Thursday night: Flyweight Preliminaries Joe Brunette, 112, Sault Ste.

Ontario Matmen Begin Olympic Wrestling Tests Toronto, May 7--(CP)-- Toronto grapplers have a full nelson on the Ontario Amateur Wrestling Cham- pionships which cpen tonight at the West-End YM.C.A. of 43 entries, all but two are from Toronto. Winners and runners up in the two-day A.A.U. sponsored tourna- ment will be eligible to enter Dom- inien Olympic trials at the Central YMCA. May 28-20. Wrestling autherities suggest two reasons for the dearth of outside entries. Robert Somers, secretary of the Central Ontario Branch of the AAU. believes more people are wrestling happy--"There is more in- terest in wrestling in Toronto than in any other city in Canada." J Ontario Amateur Wrestling Fed- eration President Harry Peace, in charge of tournament arrangements explained the scarcity of outside en- tries differently. "Wrestlers in other parts of the province are fairly certain who will be nominated for the Dominion trials by the various branches of the A.A.U. he said. "Those who will be nceminated are saving themselves for the Olympic selection tourna- ment."

MORRISON Horton Smith, in shooting a 66 on his first round in return to open tournaments after knee surgery, demonstrated a number of things to all kinds of golfers, as well as himself. The score is not remarkable for him since the past 15 years often have found him as hot as any club swinger on record, but the condi- tions under which this round was player are unusual. Last summer doctors told him he would have to have surgery done on his left knee or soon be unable to walk around a golf course. When I saw him during the fall he was still looking for some way out of the operation. His doctor assured me that he had every reason to ex- pect good use of the knee if the surgery was done without delay. Horton finally followed the sur- geon's advice. Smith's attitude toward fiitness for his job has equalled that of a concert pianist. To keep himself in top condition is uppermost in his mind at all times. Naturally, the need for surgery brought the ques- tion--will it result in some physical handicap? While recovering at his home in Missouri, Horton wrote to me about a number of things and carefully avoided any mention of the question uppermost in his mind. A few weeks later the answer came in his performance over the Brackenridge course during the opening round of the Texas Open. Even his putting was on a par with his great performances of 10 and 15 years ago. And the round was played in rain and mud over a lay- out packed with trouble. Th: over.emphasis of the physical strength and condition in this case is an example of the great handi- cap the average golfer places on himself. He worries too much about how he feels before a game or about -mustering physical London, Ont., May 7 -- (CP) -- | | | OBJECT TO ISSUING ) | Methods of issuing Smelt-seining strength where both are relatively | and Groundhog and Crow shooting unimportant. | licenses were atiacked in a reso- | | lution passed at Thursday night's | | meeting of the New Western On- | | tariv Fish and Game Protective As. | sociation. .
