THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1948 THE DAILY TIM ES-GAZETTE PAGE FIFTEEN . Spicy Bits From Other Sports Cols. By ERWIN FRICKE Canadian Press Staff Writer Vancouver, Nov. 11--(CP)~The Pacific Coast Hockey League is through being a pariah. During the war years and until this season the coast circuit was sort, of a mongrel loop--neither ama- teur, professional, nor semi-profes- sional. Hockey experts treated it with contempt when the P.C.H.L. was re- ferred to in the same breath as the National Hockey League. Amateur outfits - like the Western Canada Senior circuit questioned whether the coasters were '"simon-pures." But this year the P.CH.L. is def- initely professional and Don (Van- couver Sun) Carlson says he already can see the difference. Carlson quotes Bill Carse, former Edmonton Junior amateur star who has run the gauntlet to the NHL, as saying: "Wingmen 'now keep on their wings. Centres work along imag- inary centre lanes. "Last year often you could lay one finger on eight or nine players jammed in one corner." Aint's Nuttin' 15-1 Harry Truman's triumph in the United States Presidential election apparently confirms the old phrase: "There just ain't nuttin' 15 to 1." The thought of how much of the old mazoola the betting commission- ers in New York must have dropped prompts Ken (Vancouver Province) McConnell to tally recent occasions in which the betting boys have been "in the switches." There were the three Tony Zale- Rocky Graziano fights--the low man on the betting pole won every time. Then Zale met Marcel Cerdan and Tony was 6-1 to beat the French- man. The latter pulverized Zale. Aaron Robinson Gets Tiger Suit In Player Deal Detroit, Nov. 11 -- (AP) -- De- troit Tigers are digging for added punching power to. put at the dis- posal of the man who succeeds the .discharged Steve O'Neill as man- ager, They hope to get some of # from Aaron Robinson, Chicago White Sox catcher obtained Wednesday in a swap for pitcher Billy Pierce. Robinson comes to Detroit' in a straight player deal. The swap was €ngineered . at the major-league draft meeting in Cincinnati by the Tigers' General Manager, Billy "Evans, in conversations with Frank Lane, new general manager of the Sox. Robinson, 32-year-old former New York Yankee catcher who went to the White Sox in a trade for pitch- er Ed Lopat a year ago, hit only 249 for the White Sox. He bagged eight homers. It's believed he'll deliver the long ball more frequently here, however, for he's a strong left-hand hitter and will be aiming for Briggs Stadium's moderately short 325-foot right-field fence. Pierce, 21-year-old graduate of Detroit sandlots and Highland Park (Mich.) high school, came to the Tigers during the war as a curve- balling left-hander with promise. Moved in and out of a Detroit uniform, he had his best year with the Tigers' Buffalo farm club in . the International League in 1947 when he won 14 games and lost eight. Recalled last season, Pierce won three games and lost none but was used in only 55 innings. ABSOLUTELY SOLD OUT Toronto, Nov. 11 (CP) There's not a ticket to be had for Saturday's football game between University of Western Ontario and the University of Toronto, Athletics Director Warren Stevens said Wed- nesday night. "If we only had 40,000 seats at Varsity Stadium we'd fill every pew in the place," he said, BOWLING TIMES-GOODFELLOW Two games to go. two teams tied for top position and two teams tied for second spot. There seems very little doubt that this series will not be de- cided until the very last game, and perhaps not even then. Bylines and Ollie's Orphans got three points each and so remain tied at the top of the standing. Battling Bums had a bad night and fell away to second position, two points behind. Esme's Aces took four points and placed themselves tied for second spot Just two points behind the leaders. Verda's Victors pro.ed poison to the ambitions of the Bums by taking three points to one. Don n was the star of this game with a total of 705. Jean Noxon had a nice single of 249. For the Bums the effort of Bob Jeyes was outstanding with 681 from scratch. Bylines with Dave Blackburn at his t with 658, took three from the Beauties who incidentally were very (7???) shorthanded. Baxter for the Beauties was really at her best with a lovely triple of 667. Alex Mackay Is yg to justify our earlier predicti®ns. This week he came up with a 773 triple to assist the Orphans to a three to one victory over Doris' 8hmoos. Bob Salmers was best for Doris' team with 652, Esme's Aces worked themselves into a real threatening position hen they took four points from Red Cats. Jack Shields helped the cause with a 712 triple. Nelson Perry was best for the losers with 605. Harold Forshee was largely respons- ible for Pace Setters three-to-one vic- tory over L.C.'s Shmoos. His total for the evening was 748. Earl Brown for the Shmoos was best on his team with 752 (nice bowling). The bowling of the ladles this week was below par. Jean Noxon took high single with 249. Phil Baxter had a grand 667 triple and this with her team minus its usual inspiration (???). Earl Brown was best for the men in the single division with 371 while Alex Mackay with 773, took triple honors.

High single to date: S., Bowers 334; high triple to date: S. Bowers 826. Wow, what scores! If we keep this class of bowling up we certainly are going to ma ke those boys in the major league look like a bunch of minors. Well man, this fella Bruce Nugent certainly looked like a 'New. Gent" (get it, Nu-gent) as he was really hurrying toward that payoff dirt, with his 814 triple and 312 single to lead L. Crossley and his crew to a seven point win over the hapless Hell Divers. L. Crossley, J. Smith and Jimmy Murray were the only ones who gave him some support with Ballantine and Kuch looking like Murray did last week. Relax Jim. Those poor Hell Divers had better see somebody about "saving" them some points. I guess they feel bad enough now so I don't think I will say anything about them this week, aren't I thoughtful. Well, our friend Harry Kirk made sure that the Wildcats were tamed to a certain extent stopping them from running away with any of the lettuce, as he and his Strikers hooked the Cats for four points. Pete Borrow and Doug Reading certainly were determined to cinch this section, but to no avail, but even at that the three points they did garner put them into a first place tie with the Hurricanes. Take a look at that standing men--only three points separating the first four teams and next week is the last night in this section. Please, fellas, let's not have any ties. Well, the battle of the mid- gets took place between the Easy Aces and Woodpeckers with the 'Peckers" nipping the Aces for three points. Well, I guess Mel Dresser couldn't stand the blasts which emanated from this column and decided to do some- thing about it, coming up with a 665 triple and 298 single. He is starting to sing again now. Give me a fanfare men. We have crowned a new king for high single and high triple hoors, namely Sid Bowers. In fact the crown was tossed around last night with Bruce Nugent taking the high single crown from Pete Lofthouse with his 312 sin- gle and then 8id just turned around and took it away from him with his 334 single. The same happened with the triple. Nugent took it from Dresser with his 814 /nd Sid did it again by relieving Bruce of the honor with his 826. Lovely bowling, mem Despite all this terrific bowling by Sid Bowers, the Bushwack- ers wacked his team for five points with Ralph Bevans and Russ Healey giving us life with their 632 and 623 respectively. That gives us a chance to cop this section now. No one gave Sid any kind of support and there wasn't one other man over 600 or any- where near it. Fine way for a championship team (of last year--this is a new year) to bowl isn't it? Our friend Reg Noakes had his grandfather clock approach set slow with a capital "S" and he came up with a brilliant effort of 408 (that's for three games!) and also 130 and 125 singles. Nice going Reg you were with- out a doubt the best man we had. Summon Sportsmen Ottawa Convention Held January 7-8 Ottawa, Nov. 11 -- (CP) -- A na- tional sports conference has been summoned for next January 7-8, the government announced today in a move seen as a probable conse- quence of Canada's fiasco in the last Olympics. Aim of the Ottawa conference, to which more than 30 amateur and professional sports bodies have 'been invited, is to promote "greater par- ticipation of sports in Canada." A health department announce- ment said the meeting has been called by the government-sponsored national council on physical fitness, but the council made clear in the invitation it is not trying to take-- and will not accept--any responsi- bility for governing sport in the Dominion. "Members of the council feel," ac- cording to the announcement, "that the time is opportune for a meet- ing .at which problems of mutual concern may be discussed by repre- sentatives of the sports groups and solutions considered for any diffi- culties which may exist. "The over-all aim is to foster both | the fitness and pleasure arising | from greater participation in sports." Test Reveals Horse Stimulated | Salem, N.H.
