"PAGE TWELVE lv on THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE FRIDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1948 PORT _., | » NAPSHOTS Campbell Oshawa Generals travel to Barrie tonight, to open their OHA campaign for the 1948-49 season, against the Flyers, Latest report from Barrie is that Coach Leighton "Happy" Emms will not be on hand tonight to handle his charges. "Hap" came back from Montreal all worn out from running the training camps for Buffalo and their "farm teams" and went right to bed when he got back in Barrie. No doubt "Rudy" Pilous has proven to a big help to the worried Barrie Hockey Club officials, but whether the ex-St. Catharines story-teller will be running the Flyers in Barrie tonight, is something we don't know, Meanwhile, Coach Tommy Anderson has his boys in good shape for tonight's game. He's had a tough chore' weeding out what he believes to be the best prospects for the long haul through the 46-game schedule. Right now it looks as if the Generals will be a "big team" with most of the players on the large and husky plan. How they're going to stack up against rival opposition can be better decided after tonight's game in Barrie, against the defending champions, %* Ld LJ Meanwhile, the local hockey fans are looking forward to the opening game of the season, here tomorrow night. With the "Subscribers Tickets" al t a plete sellout, a b ttendance is assured for every game this season.

With the majority of this year's team in the "newcomer" class, the Generals will have to introduce themselves to their fans and the best way they can do it is by chalking up a victory tomorrow night, in a crowd-pleasing display of fast hockey. Bob Shropshire, goalie with Toronto Young Rangers, will be in the nets for Oshawa General tonight, we expect. Negotiations for the release of Hendry, Western Canada lad who has been here since the season got going and before, have not yet been completed, although official O.K. is expected daily. Gord Hudson, 210-lb, defenseman from Ottawa, has signed' his certificate and the local club has his transfer, but "what's cooking" is not known. He went home for the Thanksgiving week-end and hasn't returned to Oshawa yet. Young Bill Howie, product of the Oshawa "City League," is listed as Barrie's sub-goalie for tomorrow night. Howie went to Barrie for a trial this fall and apparently has made good. He's only just turned 16. LJ * Bowmanville Inters, today at Alex- ander Park. The 18-0 score was no indication as to the way the O.C.V.I. team played, Things started off on Mozewsky"s kickoff to the Bowmanville 40. Bow- manville managed to get to the O.CVI 20 from where DeFeere kicked a single for the first point of the game. O.C.V.I. then tried some forward passes. A Harrell- Clarke pass worked for 25 yards be- fore Clarke was brought down. An- other pass was incompleted. Bak charged ahead for a first down. A bad snap _lost yards for O.C.V.I, and they were pushed back to their 30 yards line. Bowmanville took pos. session and on a touchdown forward O.C.V.I. was called for interference The railbirds were full of dire predictions when an automobile ac- cident left a trail of injuries dcross the New York Rangers camp. But the railbirds got a big sur- prise Wednesday night when Rang- ers battled from behind to a 1-1 tie with Montreal Canadiens in the Montreal National Hockey League curtain-raiser, It was a big night for rookie George Robertson. The 21-year-old Winnipegger, playing his first N.H.L. game, got his first N.H.L. score--Canadiens only goal. The infant N.H.L. season cuts an- other tooth Saturday night when Boston Bruins invade Toronto and Canadiens play host to - Chicago Black Hawks. In the first game Hamilton, Oct. 15--(CP)--Secre- tary Frank Feaver of the Ontario Amateur Softball Association an- nounced today . that the best-of- three St. Catharines-Sudbury play- off series, for the All-Ontario Sen- for "B" Championship, would be | declared "no series." 2 St. Catharines won the first game of the series 4-1 but the remaining games were abandoned pecause of rain, Feaver said St. Catharines Le- gion team should have remaiaed in Sudbury and played the second game, after the postponement be- cause of rain. O.M.HA. Will Operate Three New "D" Series Secretary Jack L Christie of ths Ontario Minor Hockey Association today confirmed that the O.M.H.A. will operate thre new series this coming season. The new series will be Juvenile "D", Midget "D" and Bantam "D". They witl be restrict ed to municipalities of approxi= mately 1,000 or less population, use ing home town players only, Two # +» Meanwhile, there's a lot of other local sport activity this week-end, Saturday, in other words. Tomorrow afternoon up a Kew Gardens in Toronto, Oshawa Pedlars should be able to capture the OASA' Inter- mediate "A" softball championship, when they play Hamilton Pee-Gees in the third and deciding game of their final series. They've been rained out three times now, last Saturday, Monday and Wednesday, but they're trying to get it played off tomorrow. We feel than an Oshawa victory is certain, on the strength of the scores of the first two games, but over-confidence could ruin the Pedlar club, for it no doubt had something to do with them losing that second game 1-0. Sudbury has declined to go back to St. Catharines to finish out the all-Ontario Senior "B" championship series. Since it was scheduled to be played in Sudbury, the OASA secretary has ruled it "no series," despite the fact St. Kitts Legion won the only game played in Sudbury last week- end, 4-1. The two clubs will now hold the title jointly, with the series called off. That will likely be the same arrangement in the all-Ontario Intermediate "A" title, between "The Soo" and the winners of tomor- row afternoon's game in Toronto. * * * There are three rugby games here tomorrow, and none away. The Intermediate "Red Raiders" are not scheduled for tomerrow but the Junior "Red Raiders" play Toronto Argos here tomorrow and and that's an important game. Argos, Hamilton Wildcats and 'Parkdale Lions are all tied for first place in the little Big Four Junior rugby race and a win for Argos tomorrow gives them the group title, while a victory for Red Raiders would leave the other three teams all tied up tight. Tomorrow morning, OCVI Juniors tackle Port Hope High School at ten o'clock at Alexandra Park and we look for the local students to cop this game. Early in the afternoon, one o'clock or shortly after, the OCVI Seniors play Belleville C.I. in a group game and this one should be a really clise tussle, + +* +* There are a couple of lacrosse games yet to be played in the cham- pionship competition. Windsor, who defeated Scarboro in a special series for the Levack Trophy (don't ask us how .Scarboro got in there, because it was just because all the other teams were busy in playoffs at the time and Scarboro finished last in their group) will take on Peterboro at Peferboro. The Petes tonight and again on Saturday can win the Levack Trophy now by taking the Windsor Club -- which they'll do handily, no doubt. Then tonight, at Maple Leaf Gardens, Hamilton Tigers go into the third game with New Westminster Adanacs and the Tigers have to win--or else. Adanacs can clinch the Mann Cup and Dominion title tonight with a victory, thus sweeping the series in three-straight games. 2 * + New York Rangers tied Canadiens last night in Montreal 1-1, with George Robertson scoring the goal for Habitants. Robertson, it will be remembered, was the star of Winnipeg Monarchs about three seasons back but when he came down this way to play with Stratford Kroehlers, he proved to be only ordinary. A big boy, he has apparently found himself now. Rangers' ability to gain a split decision in Montreal is even more noteworthy when it's remembered they were far from being at full strength, due to that car accident last week which shelved four players, two of them still out for a few more weeks. Tomorrow night, Boston opens in Toronto and that's the big opening there. * J + FLASH: Just received word that at the Ontario County Flying Club "at home" this evening, in addition to the outstanding ping-pong and badminton stars mentioned yesterday, Ted Pollick, Canadian doubles champion and Jack Muir, third ranking Canadian player and Peter Percival, former mixed doubles champion (badminton stars), will be on hand.

Alguire of this city, who is also Niagara Peninsula con- vener, has ben advised by Sudbury Bradley-Larrays, champions of the NOSA, that they will be financial- ly unable to fill their Southern On- tario date with St. Kitts Legion here Saturday. It was intended as an All-Ontario Senior B softball final, Legion won the series opener at Sudbwy on Thanksgiving Day, 4-1. Other games in the series were rained out, Legion returning home with a de- ficit of $600. The parent body says it has no alternative but to regard 3t. Kitis Legion as the provincial champions in view of weather conditions that saw only 40 payees at the series op- ener up north. Legion's playoff record was 11 straight victories, by sweeps over Welland, Guelph, Hamilton Polish Eagles, Windsor, Oshawa and the singleton at Sudbury. Saiats pre- viously took the McArthur Trophy emblematic of Southern Ontario su- premacy.

Bill Durnan had 14 fired at him. Robertson scored at 3:01 of the first period by back-handing a pass from Elmer Lach past Rayner. Ed Kullman tied the score at 13:57 of the third when he scored after Nick Mickoski got the draw at a face-off mear the Canadiens net. and the touchdown was awarded to a Coons to Harvey pass that went for 15 yards.

The switch was announced by Lyle Barr of Vancouver, president of the Canadian Amateur Lacrosse Association who said both clubs protested the offici- ating in the first two games of the series. "Officials said the referees allowed too much rough play," Barr said in an interview after the four- day annual meeting of the CALA. The newly-appointed officials--Gus Marsden and Roy Morton, both of St. Catharines--replace George Mur- phy of Toronto and Max Peart of Port Colborne, Ont. . . , Cleveland Indians won't need much overhauling for defence of their world cham- plonship, President Bill Veeck said Thursday. "Of course, that doesn't mean we'll repeat but well be up there with the best of them," Bill hastened to add. Veeck conceded that "we can't stand pat completely. No team should adopt that attitude. But I don't think many changes will be necessary . . .
