PAGE SIXTEEN ____+ THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE\ _ SATURDAY, MAY 8, 1948 Geo. H. Campbell NAPSHOTS Keep 'em coming! Nice going, fellows! They've just barely started yet but it looks as if the readers of "Sport Snapshots" are going to be . "right in there," pitching for a sports stadium for Oshawa. The "Spor! Snapshots $5.00 Club" is starting to roll. No. 2 contribution came in before the ink was dry. This morning's mall sees a trickle of "fins" that we trust will grow into an increasing flood, ' We've got seven more members to report today. "Tom" Bouckley, son of "Mike" Bouckley, swung into line as a supporter of the fund yesterday afternoon. Tom was a keen sports enthusiast and athlete back in his high school days, being an outstanding rugby, lacrosse and hockey player. Today he's a keen outdoor sportsman, with emphasis on fishing, but he wants to see a sports stadium in Oshawa, like a lot of us want. * + * A couple more of "the boys" from "Mike's Place" locale moved in as members of the Sport Snapshots $5.00 Club also, with Elmer Crouse and Percy Kilburn, both paying their fee. Elmer has always been one of Oshawa keen sport fans while Percy Kilburn ranks as one of the "hottest" hockey fans in Canada. He follows 'em all, baseball, rugby, softball, cricket, but hopkey's his big love. Back in the days when it was not frowned upon so heavily by the authori- ties, Perc could get a chap a ticket in the "Irish" sweep, if it was wanted . . . but he'd always pass up a sale to go to a sports event. The shoe-shine expert at Mike's Place expressed himself very bluntly, as he offered his five bucks for the fund--"We've got gvery- thing in Oshawa that anybody else can produce in sport but we've got no place for them to play or for the sport fans to go and watch them and I hope they'll have it ready before this summer is out." Thanks, Tom, Elmer and Percy. Hope your example gels a lot more members for our club. * + * George S. Chow is the first member of the local Chinese residents to join the Sport Snapshots $5.00 Club. George, who perhaps has left for the Woodbine already, admits that his favorite sport will probably never be run off in Oshawa's new sports stadium, but just the same, this public-spirited citizen wants to see his city have the facilities to make sports possible for both athletes and spectators and so he has sent along his five-dollar bill, to help swell the fund. Yep! Keep 'em coming boys--we fully expect tojhave lots more. Starting on Monday, we'll publish a list of the donatipns, so that each person who joins the Sport Snapshots $5.00 Club will\not only see that his "fin" has been added to the fund, but will also know the total as it grows. Receipts will be sent out to all members--but please be patient. 4 * * By the look of the weather and the skies, we doubt if either the cricketers or the baseball boys will get into action this after- noon, However, on behalf of President Johnny Brady of the Osh- awa City and District Softball A fati we remind all softball teams intending to play OASA ball here in Oshawa or district, this summer, in either juvenile, junior, intermediate "AA" and in- termediate "A"--that there's an important meeting on Monday night at the office of the secretary, Ernie Marks, Jr., King St. East. The juveniles are to meet at 7:00 o'clock, along with the juniors. Inter- mediate "AA" teams should send their representatives at 7:30 o'clock and the intermediate "A" (and Sr. "B") teams will hold their dis- cussion at 8:00 o'clock sharp. BE THERE, BOYS! + » +* SPORTS SHORTS --Snow in May called for cancellation of the To- ronto Leafs game at Maple Leaf Stadium, but today there is supposed to be a double-header at the Fleet Street flats, and looks very much like OF Hot Potato Luke Hamlin will serve up the balls and strikes in of the tilts today.

Andy Blair, second oldest player with the Toronto Maple Leafs hockey team in point of service, was sold to Chicago Black Hawks for a reported price of $7,500, 12 years ago today after playing with the Leafs since the 1928-29 season. He was a sensation in his first season but the forward pass rule cut down his scoring. * * * SCISSORED SPORT--(By The Canadian Press)--Calumet Farm's Coaltown and Citation are going to renew their racing duel in the Preak- ness after all. General Manager Ben Jones announced at Louisville, Ky. Friday that owner Warren Wright had decided to send the second half of the winning Kentucky Derby combination to Baltimore.

Goulding in a statement to a] Times.Gazette reporter said: "I was given a bye earlier in the fights, | and this was only fair. Last night | the fellow I was to meet in tie ring, Doug Beacock, wasn't able to fight because the Athletic Com- mission doctor declared his hand in no fit condition. That gave me another bye." | "This incident," continued Goul- | ding, "could have happened to any- one, and that was why the Bag- nato's, representing the Toronto Diamond Club, threatened to with. draw. This would have left Bob Som- | ers, the fellow directing the trials, | out on a limb. You see, the Dia- mond Club had about eight fight- ers on the card, and that would have meant just about no bouts at all" Left Of Own Accord "Somers saw this at once, and de- clared that there should be a re-draw I objected to this and withdrew. Fred Harding also pulled out of the events to support me. We had no orders from Murray Schwartz, but did it of our own accord. He agreed that we did the right thing after we had done it." When asked about the meeting between himseir and Gus Rubicini in a semi.final, reported offered to him in a Toronto morning paper story, Goulding replied: "I didn't hear of any such bout, but I was just mad enough then to have gone through with it after the charges made by the Bagnatos. I think the A.A.U. is being unfair in showing favoritism to the Bag- natos." Having withdrawn from the Olympic trials, Goulding was ask- ed if he was going to stay in the Olympic tests, and how he would go about it. "My manager, Murray Schwartz is going to enter both Fred Harding and myself in the Olympic finals trials in Montreal, providing sanction can be obtained from the A.AU." Holiow Crowns The trials in Toronto continued but it looks as though some of the titles won are going to be rather poor triumphs for the champions. Max Males was to have met Har- ding in the Bantam final, and now he will win by default. Rubicini, Zaduk or any other fighter who comes close to the welter crown will also have scored one of those mean- ingless victories for a final without Billy Goulding having been elimin- ated would be a very ragged show. LINDBERG SET DOWN Bay Meadows, San Mateo, Calif. --The stewards here set down Jockey Herb Lindberg for the re- mainder of the meeting for failing to give racing room to the Aus- tralian horse, Shannon II, and Miss Doreen in the Bay Meadows Han- } dicap Saturday. rhubarb which may be taken to the Ontario Athletic Commission for settlement. Named Titlists : Those named champions -- with several dissents--were: Heavyweight, Krank Cohaney, Peterborough; light heavyweight, Bob Egrett, Toronto; middleweight, Alex Mason, Toronto; = welter- weight, Gus Rubicini, Toronto; lightweight, Remo Odorico, To- | ronto; featherweight, Ronnie Bass, Toronto; bantamweight, Max Males, Toronto, and flyweight, Joe Brunette, Sault Ste. Marie. The - Oshawa Amateur Boxing Club and Toronto's Diamond Box- ing Club threatened midway through the bouts to withdraw their fighters unless their respec- tive demands were met. tesult was that Oshawa, with two entries, left the scene and the Toronto club, with 10 contestants remained. Oshawa boys with-, drawn were Fred Harding, bantam, and Billy Goulding, welter, They were favored to win their respec- tive titles. ' Draws. Bye The argument. stemmed from Goulding's drawing a bye into the welter final. The Bagnato broth- ers of the Diamond Club contended this was unfair to their boy Rubi- cini, who had fought twice previ- ously and faced another match before going into the final. Goulding had drawn a semi-final match with a boxer ruled unfit to continue in the tournament by physicians. Oshawa's - President Murray Schwartz demanded the bouts be fought as scheduled. In the middle was Bob Somers, Secretary, Central Ontario A.A.U. He agreeed that A.A.U. rules for- hade a redraw. Faced with the Diamond Club's withdrawal, he threw the rule book out and ord- ered a new draw. Goulding and Harding pulled themselves and announced their intention of carrying the fight to the Ontario Athletic Commission. This rattled the saddened Somers but he had made his choice. Schwartz also stated he would seek A.A.U. ganction to take his two boys to the Montreal finals. Easy Triumph In the heavyweight final Stan Guignard, 189, Callender, was no match for Dohaney, Maritime in- tercollegiate champion, now fight- ing out of Peterborough. Guig- nard stopped blows that would have feeled an &x before the referee ended the bout in the second round. Another northerner who proved his durability--and lack of de- fence, was the runner-up in the welter class, Billy Antonnes, 147, Timmins. He declined to rest a few extra seconds on the canvas and was bouncing about the ring before Rubicini got the decision by a T.K.O. Barrie's Harold Quinlan, 172- pound light heavy, proved himself game but ill-suited for the task of winning from Ed~ett. ri For speed and polish, Joe Bru- nette of Sault Ste. Marie was the most capable performer. in the tournament. His opponent Ron- nie. Muir of Toronto was not far behind. Brunette's obvious class belied his 17 years. Other Results Other final results were: Light heavyweight--Bob Edgett, J Vancouver Given Favorites Place In Sr. Cage Finals, Montreal, May 8 -- (CP) --Bas- | ketball fans, after watching Van- | couver Clover Leafs and Montreal YM.H.A. split the first four games of the dominion senior finals, made the westerners slight favorites for tonight's fifth and final game. Vancouver have been odds-on fa- vorites, throughout the series, the odds had narrowed for night's contest, to- After Leafs waltzed through the | first fixture, Montreal came back to edge the western champs by one point in the second tussle. It was Vancouver by 22 points in the third game but the 'Y' staged a last minute rally Thursday night to take the fourth tilt by two points. Experts agree that Leafs are a finer-polished quintet but what the Montrealers lack in playing ability, they make up for in fight. Sol Tolchinsky, of YM.H.A. who sat on the sidelines Thursday, is expected to be back in action to- night, providing his injured knee responds to treatment. He is the only doubtful starter on squad. Ollie Bakken, lanky British Co- lumbia star, is again expected to carry the load for Vancouver. In the last outing, he potted 15 of their 46 points and in the four games has accounted for 44 of their 206 points.
